time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the banquet to start.

During this period, the daimyo took the time to send a letter to inform Uchiha Makoto that he planned to discuss with Uchiha Makoto whether he should provide financial support to Konoha.

Of course, the daimyo did not want to support Konoha. Once Konoha became strong, he would be in danger.

But considering Hashirama Senju's iron fist, he is still quite respectable.

It would be best if Uchiha Makoto could resolve this matter. If not, the daimyo would just give money directly.

Banquet
The daimyo had a kind smile on his face and was eager to entertain Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo. They were both sons of the ninja clan leader, and they had to make friends with them!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo looked flattered.

In their eyes, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation is very noble, and can be said to be the noblest person in the entire ninja world!

But soon their attention was diverted to the delicious food.

Plates of delicious food were placed in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, making their stomachs growl.

"I'll start first!" X2
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo didn't hesitate at all and devoured the food at the table like gluttons.

You little brat, you're going to eat me out of my house. This is not just empty talk.

Now is the time for them to grow, and they are ninjas, so their food intake is even more terrifying as they need to refine chakra. The nobles attending the banquet looked at this scene in amazement.

The food on the table was soon empty, and Daimyo waved his hand, signaling for another table to be served.

"Thank you, Your Highness." x2
The two young men, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, focused on the food, while the nobles attending the banquet were pursuing something more, they were not really there to eat!
The more important thing for nobles to attend banquets is socializing, to get to know more people, and to expand their network!
Of course, showing off is inevitable.

The nobles gathered in groups to chat. One of the nobles took out the precious tulips he had prepared. These were the most elegant and status-reflecting flowers in the Fire Nation. He immediately became the most eye-catching and dazzling person in the crowd.

All the nobles in the audience couldn't help but move closer to him, wanting to catch a glimpse of this precious tulip.

“This tulip is actually a red and white treasure!”

"So beautiful!"

"Where did you buy it from? It must have cost a lot of money!"

"."

The nobles talked about it a lot, praising the precious tulip with all their might.

"money?"

"It's only five million taels!"

"This little money is nothing. I am a person of status and good manners."

The nobleman said this, five million taels was indeed not a small amount, even he felt a little painful.

But it’s money well spent!

Not only is it sought after by everyone, it also reflects one's elegant taste.

the most important is
I bought this rare tulip quite a while ago, and now such a rare flower would be worth tens of millions of taels on the market.

That's it
Even if you want to spend money, you may not be able to buy it. It is a good thing that is in short supply!
"After I finish installing this wave, I'll find a chance to sell it. It's like managing my finances!"

The nobleman thought so as he enjoyed the flattery of the crowd.

The price of tulips is still rising steadily. The nobles use a whole room of tulips to show off their identity and status, and a steady stream of nobles are constantly participating.

The wealthy merchants, on the other hand, stock up on goods in large quantities, hoping to make a fortune by buying low and selling high!
"What are they doing together?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, who had eaten and drunk their fill, stood up puzzled when they saw the nobles gathered together.

Soon, listening to the nobles' discussions, they understood.

It turned out to be for a flower.

"It's just a flower, what's so strange about it?"

Danzo Shimura said nonchalantly that he was a pure Warring States ninja and had no interest in the hobbies of the nobles. Instead of wasting time looking at a flower, he might as well use this precious time to train chakra, practice shuriken throwing, and practice ninjutsu.

"This guy was incredibly lucky. He only spent five million taels to buy this rare tulip."

The whispering sounds among the nobles reached the ears of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo who were watching the fun. As excellent ninjas, they had excellent eyesight and hearing.

"Seize the young master?"

"Five million taels!?"

"Huruzen, did I hear correctly? This red and white flower is worth five million ryo!"

Shimura Danzo's originally nonchalant expression immediately turned into one of stunned silence, his eyes widened, and his heart was filled with disbelief.

Just this one flower is worth five million taels?
The ninjas of their family had to carry out very difficult or even life-threatening missions, and the commission for the missions rarely had a chance to reach 5 million ryo. The flower in front of him was already impacting Danzo Shimura's worldview.

"Danzo. Hmm. I guess I heard correctly. I heard the same number, five million ryo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was equally stunned, and he was no less shocked than Shimura Danzo. Why is the price of this flower so outrageous!
Even as the two were surprised, the whispering continued.

"Yes, he was lucky."

"This rare tulip is conservatively estimated to be worth 10 million taels."

"Ten million taels? It's less than that. I feel it would have to be doubled. This is just the current market price. I guess in the future..."

"Tulips right now. You know, I'm very familiar with the tulip market. Not long ago, I spent several million taels to buy a batch of tulips. Guess how much I've earned now?"

"How many"

"I'll tell you, it'll scare you to death! It's almost 30 million taels, and I still feel like I'm losing money. I'm thinking about buying another batch right away. The price of tulips is going to keep going up!"

"You've made a killing, kid. I was actually planning to stock up on some too. How about we pool our money together this time? The current market is like picking up money. Even a dog can make a few million taels and walk away."

Danzo Shimura listened to the whispers in his ears and couldn't help but pinch Sarutobi Hiruzen's thigh with his hand.

"Danzo, why are you pinching my leg?!"

"I want to try and see if I'm dreaming now."

"Then why don't you pinch your thigh!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this unhappily while rubbing his leg.

"The price of these tulips is too outrageous!"

"One flower costs 20 million taels"

Shimura Danzo said this with an expression of disbelief on his face.

“Indeed...it’s simply sensational.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen also thought that the price was exaggerated and was amazed.

"More. Hiruzen, did you hear that? Tulip is picking up money right now. Even a dog can make millions of ryo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo Shimura, and he read greed and desire on Danzo's surprised face.
