Bab 223: Hostage
After Zhang Miao made a series of deals with the Fourth Raikage, he let the Kumogakure ninjas leave. However, this time, the number of ninjas who could return alive were less than one-third of the initial number. Most of them were suffering from serious injuries or losing their limbs.
The Fourth Raikage was the last to board the ship. After boarding the ship, he first looked at the Killer B who was being closely guarded by Kuramoto, and then opened his mouth to Zhang Miao.
"Two months later, I will come to pick him up!"
The Eight-tails' Jinchuuriki, who was forced to stay behind by Zhang Miao. Hiis explanation to the Fourth Raikage was that a Jinchuuriki's strength was more valuable than ordinary ninjas, especially a perfect Jinchuuriki like B. Therefore, if he wanted get him back, Kumogakure would need to pay 200 million more!
Zhang Miao's demand was quite impossible to fulfill, but the Fourth Raikage couldn't refute. However, the previous 300 million was already the greatest compensation he could give. He couldn't give more money, so he planned to pay off for the combined debt in one year.
Since the Fourth Raikage had agreed to pay, Zhang Miao naturally had nothing to complain, so he immediately agreed. However, the Fourth Raikage had to pay the first 300 million before he could get Killer B back.
Although the Fourth Raikage was very dissatisfied with Zhang Miao's offer, he could only grit his teeth and agree. Then he left with the Kumogakure ninjas on the village's warship.
Hiruzen stood by the sea and watched as the Kumogakure force leave. His eyes were full of complex emotions.
"The Raikage has suffered a great blow this time. I think he won't be a threat to Konoha for around ten years. Ryunosuke, thank you!"
"Hehe, Grandpa Third, you are too polite. If you really want to thank me, just give me a few million as a form of protection fee!"
Hiruzen: "... "
"Damn, this is the first time someone has asked me for protection fees!'
Looking at the smiling Zhang Miao, Hiruzen immediately revealed an amused face.
"The Fourth Raikage has already promised to give you three hundred million. Even our country does not have that much money. Do you still think it is not enough? What do you want so much money for?"
"To sustain my life!"
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Zhang Miao immediately spread out his hand.
"You see, my appetite is so big. I have to eat dozens of servings. My sculpting business is not in good condition. How can I support my 108 concubines if I don't earn more?"
"Uh..." Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Hiruzen immediately widened his eyes. "108 concubines?" Didn't you say that there were only 18 concubines last year? "
"Yes!" Looking at Hiruzen's surprised look, Zhang Miao immediately nodded.
"Yes, I will double the number of my concubines every year. It's been three years since I went for this journey, so the number of my concubines has increased sixfold!"
Hiruzen: "... "
"Damn, do you really need to double the number of your concubines each year?"
This time, no matter how stupid Hiruzen was, he knew that Zhang Miao was joking with him. He immediately sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, Ryunosuke, with your ability, you can definitely become the Hokage in the future. As for money..."
"Stop!" Without waiting for Hiruzen to finish speaking, Zhang Miao immediately raised his hand and interrupted him. "Don't talk about money. Talking about money will hurt others' feelings!"
Hiruzen: "…"
"Damned brat, do you have the right to say that?"
Looking at Zhang Miao's expression, Hiruzen could only nod helplessly and then point to the distant Killer B who was being watched by the Kuramoto.
"What are you going to do with Eight-tails' jinchuuriki? Are you really going to ask Kumogakure for ransom?"
"Of course, I won't give him to you! Don't worry about this matter!"
Then, Zhang Miao raised his eyebrows at Hiruzen.
"Don't you have anything to ask about the Kyubi?"
"Will you tell me if I ask?" Hiruzen asked.
"Of course not!" Zhang Miao answered him without hesitation.
"Unless you give me money. Not much. Ten million for one question!"
Hiruzen: "... "
"Damn, all you ever think about is money! You are so greedy!"
Thinking of this, Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh again.
"Sigh."
"Is there nothing else in your eyes other than money?"
"How is that possible?"
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Zhang Miao immediately rolled his eyes at him,
"What kind of person do you think I am? Other than money, I naturally have other things that I like!"
"For example?"
"Pretty girls!"
"... "
Hiruzen originally thought that Zhang Miao would say "family", "comrades", or "friends". He did not expect such an answer to pop up. He felt that he had nothing to say to Zhang Miao and immediately turned to leave.
Looking at Hiruzen's back, Zhang Miao raised his eyebrows again, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"You still want to trick me? Wait for the next life!"
When Hiruzen returned to Konoha with his people, Zhang Miao did not chase after him, but turned around and walked toward Kuramoto and Killer B, and then made a hand seal toward Kuramoto.
"Release!"
Just now, the system told Zhang Miao that the recruited Tailed Beasts could be stored inside his body. They would also be completely loyal to him, so Zhang Miao could choose two ways to deal with them.
The first method was to seal them into his own body. This way, Zhang Miao could borrow their chakra in battle. The disadvantage was that once he sealed the Nine-tails inside his body, he could not summon it to fight.
The second method was to use it as a Summoning Beast. If he chose this method, Zhang Miao could not borrow the Nine-tails' chakra, but he could summon it as a Summoning Beast to fight alongside him.
Now that Zhang Miao had the Kyubi, he could store its chakra inside his body. With its almost infinite chakra, he simply could not use them all. So it would be a waste to seal the Kyubi into his body. In comparison, it was much more practical to use the Kyubi as a summoning beast.
After all, it was more practical. Just by summoning the Kyubi, Zhang Miao could crusht a significant number of enemies. Not to mention its sheer combat power. Kyubi was indeed one of the best Summoning Beast.
Therefore, Zhang Miao didn't hesitate to chose the second option.
Since Kuramoto was recruited by Zhang Miao, there was no need to sign a contract. As long as he thought of Kuramoto when he used the Summoning Jutsu, he could summon him. When Kuramoto finished his job, he would automatically return to the Spirit World that the system provided for the recruits.
AZhang Miao used the hand seal to remove the Summoning Jutsu. With a low shout, the huge Kuramoto suddenly disappeared with a bang.
Seeing this scene, Killer B, who was lying on the side suddenly widened his eyes.
"Yo... Can you communicate with the Nine-tails? How did you do it, young man?"
Hearing Killer B's words, Zhang Miao immediately took out a black hood and threw it to him, and then sang with an expressionless face.
"Yo, Killer B, now you are my prisoner! Cover your face immediately, obey your master!. Before the Raikage redeem you, you must keep silent. If you starts to talk nonsense, I will be violent! Yeah!"
Killer B: "…"
