Chapter 153: Li Tong, who wants to extort Hokage
One hundred million taels!!!
cash!
This is an astronomical number!
Although judging from Konoha’s total assets, 100 million taels are really nothing, you should know that assets are one thing and cash is another!
Not to mention fixed assets, Konoha’s income mainly comes from two parts, one is taxation, and the other is ninja task commission. The former is easy to understand, which means that all walks of life in Konoha Village have to pay taxes, while the latter means that ninjas receive commissions for completing tasks and have to hand over part of the commission to Konoha Village!
Ninja performs s-level war missions commissioned by a third party, and the commission will exceed one million taels, but most of the money is taken by the ninja individually, and Konoha will only draw a small part. Therefore, Konoha does not have much benefit from a single task.
However, the monthly taxes and ninja mission commissions in Konoha Village today are worth more than 100 million taels of income, but most of this money is spent immediately, and the ninja legion is a huge expense!
Only with income and expenditure can the balance be considered cash!
Konoha is the largest ninja village in the ninja world. It has a lot of income and huge expenses. There is even no surplus in many cases. It is necessary to rely on the Daming Mansion of the Fire Country to allocate funds to Konoha Village to maintain the normal operation of the ninja village!
Especially in the past two years, due to the tense situation in the ninja world, Konoha's military expenses have increased... Not to mention anything else, just because the first main combat legion has been mobilized to the border some time ago, the logistics supply has been spent a lot of money, which is burning money!
In fact, this is pretty good. Because of its excellent geographical location, prosperous trade and high income, Konoha Village relies on Daming Prefecture less on its dependence. In comparison, the other four major ninja villages in the five major ninja villages are much worse than Konoha!
Especially the Sha Hidden Village in Fengzhiguo, the geographical location is too poor and it is entirely supported by the funds allocated by the Daming Mansion of Fengzhiguo. If the Daming of Fengzhiguo reduces the funds for the Sha Hidden Village, the Sha Hidden Village will have to reduce its expenditures and thus reduce its strength.
But even if Konoha is in good condition, there is not much reserve funds. Calculated based on each month as the settlement cycle, Konoha has frequently seen fiscal deficits in recent years.
And now, the Iron Kingdom is willing to take out 100 million taels of cash to exchange for the black martial armor!
Considering that the Daming of the Kingdom of Fire will regularly allocate funds on time, Konoha suddenly added 100 million taels of liquidity, which will have a huge positive effect! It will allow Konoha to better prepare for the upcoming war and kill many people less.
Black Martial Armor is really not worth 100 million taels, and it is difficult to auction at this price when sent to the black market for auction.
It is impossible for Sarutobi Hinatosawa to be moved, and the same is true for Chuan Ni Koharu, but both of them looked at each other without saying anything on the surface, and immediately looked away.
"His Excellency Mifune." Sarutobi Hinasaruto said, "It's getting late. You are here from afar. We, Konoha, should be entertained. I have arranged for someone to prepare lunch for you. Why don't you have lunch first? Let's talk about the matter of Black Martial Armor in the afternoon. How about it?"
"The guest is as he pleases, and it depends on the arrangements of Lord Naruto." Mifune nodded in understanding.
The meal was fake, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to find someone to discuss the matter, and might even hold a meeting to discuss it... Mifune can guess it and understand it.
*******
Tsunade's mansion, in the main building lobby.
The dining table was filled with food, and Li Tong sat opposite Tsunade, chatting while eating. The food was packed by Tsunade before, and this woman rarely seemed to cook at home.
"Why did you talk for so long, there was no news at all." Li Tong took a few steps to his job and said vaguely: "Master Naruto has sold me, right? Do you have to ask me to count the money for him?"
"Is the teacher so bad in your heart?" Tsunade gave Li Tong a blank look and said disgusted, "Also, swallow the things in your mouth before talking, it looks very disgusting."
"Hmph!" Li Tong snorted softly, picked up another meatball and sent it to her face, and said vaguely while chewing it: "The faces of politicians are ugly! You have to believe me, no matter who they are, as long as they become a politician, they will become hypocritical and ugly!"
"So? Even if the teacher sold you as you said, what can you do?" Tsunade asked with a raised eyebrows. She just couldn't stand Li Tong's words like this.
"You guess?" Li Tong curled the corner of her lips.
"I warn you not to do anything randomly!" Tsunade frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything random!" Li Tong glanced at Tsunade, "At most... I'll just blackmail Lord Naruto. If he doesn't satisfy me, he won't expect to get the black martial armor! I will hide the black martial armor and hide it in a place that no one can find."
"You are seeking death!"
"not necessarily!"
call!
A sudden chakra fluctuation came from outside the door, and a figure appeared out of thin air. He knelt on one knee and said, "Sir Tsunade, Lord Naruto asked me to inform Li Tong and go to the Naruto office immediately."
Tsunade raised her head suddenly, looked out the door, looked at Li Tong again, and replied, "I understand!"
...
Not long after, the Naruto Office of the Naruto Building.
Sarutobi Hinata sat behind the desk, and his fingers subconsciously knocked on the desktop, silently. The office door suddenly opened, Li Tong and Tsunade entered the office one after another, quickly reached the desk, and greeted him respectfully.
"Sir Naruto."
"teacher."
Sarutobi Hinako looked up and glanced at the two of them, her eyes fell on Tsunade, and she said with a blank expression: "You! Go out! I want to talk to Li Tong alone."
"Teacher, don't..."
"go out!"
"Teacher... don't drive me away..."
"Get out!"
"Teacher!" Tsunade suddenly jumped behind Li Tong, hugged Li Tong from behind, and looked like she was unwilling to let go. Her chin was pressing on Li Tong's shoulders, and she kept blinking at Sarutobi Hinata, "Teacher, what are you going to say...I want to listen...I want to listen..."
This guy actually acted cute and coquettish to Sarutobi Hinako!
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Tsunade, showing a very annoyed but helpless expression. He glared at Tsunade fiercely, and said nothing, and his eyes moved to Li Tong's face.
"You should already know that the Iron Country Mission is coming for the Black Martial Armor." Sarutobi Hikaru cut straight to the point and was very serious. "Koye needs the Black Martial Armor to trade with the Iron Country. I think you understand what I mean. Since you are a Konoye ninja, then you should put Konoye's interests first!"
"Sir Naruto, I actually think..." Li Tong spoke immediately.
"I haven't finished speaking yet!" Sarutobi Hinato interrupted Li Tong's words and said, "However... the black weapon armor is your personal property. Although I am Naruto, I can't take advantage of you. So... If you are willing to present the black weapon armor to the village, I will give you 15 million taels and reward you!"
Li Tong was stunned. The Sarutobi Hinata didn't rob it clearly, which was beyond his expectations.
Tsunade's eyes were already shining, 15 million taels! She had never had so much money. Although her mission commission was very high, she would always lose and could not save money at all.
"Li Tong, agree! Agree!" Tsunade urged Li Tong in her ear. She had already considered the matter of borrowing money from Li Tong to spend money.
"Master Naruto, 15 million taels are indeed a lot, but... no!" Li Tong directly rejected Sarutobi Hinako and said, "I want me to hand over the black martial armor unless you can wuwu..."
Li Tong didn't say the following words because Tsunade had already covered his mouth.
Tsunade stared at her eyes wide and looked horrified!
