Tian Huo took cat steps, stepped on the carpet, and walked obediently to Mrs. Cat's feet step by step.
Turning sideways, falling to the ground, shaking paws, turning belly, all the movements are extremely skillful.
The light yellow tail gently hooked Mrs. Cat's white ankle and rubbed it back and forth around the slender ankle. The soft cat fur and the delicate satin-like bare feet reflected the jade.
"Hello Mrs. Cat."
Nara Langui said calmly without squinting his eyes.
"I'm here to customize a ninja tool."
Sniff~sniff~
Mrs. Cat did not immediately respond to Nara Langui's words. Her nose twitched and she stretched out her index finger to scratch Tian Huo's chin.
The intimate action made the Ninja cat couldn't help but make a comfortable "purr" sound from its nose.
"It smells like celery~"
Mrs. Cat withdrew her green-white fingers and glanced at Nara Langui with anger and resentment.
"Brother from the Nara family, such an expensive drink will make the cat's mouth suck."
Nara Langui pursed her lips, and used this small movement to lightly bite the tip of her tongue to concentrate.
"I just considered that most cats prefer plants like Polygonum spp."
"As expected of a child of the Nara family~"
Mrs. Cat chuckled.
"I do accept orders for custom-made ninja tools. What type of ninja do you want to customize?"
"Ninja sword."
Nara Langui gave the answer that he had already prepared.
"To be precise, it's 'Kodachi'."
"A knife-type weapon?"
Mrs. Cat's eyes flashed and she replied without any delay.
"Then I recommend going to the Kingdom of Iron to request a knife forging.
"The Kingdom of Iron is rich in samurai. They have rich experience in forging sword weapons and are even better than the craftsmen of the Kingdom of Craftsmen."
"Iron Country?"
Nara Langui raised his eyebrows, he had not forgotten the huge mystery about the Kingdom of Iron.
"Mrs. Cat, do you mean that I also need to go to the Kingdom of Iron?"
"If it's convenient, I suggest Nara-kun that it's better to go to the Iron Country.
"After all, forging weapons is no better than other weapons. There must be sufficient tacit understanding and suitability between ninjas and weapons."
Now that we are talking about business, Mrs. Cat has changed to a more rigorous title.
"Of course, I know what trouble Konoha is facing recently... war!
"So, it is not incomprehensible if Nara-kun wants to entrust me with all the work of forging the Kodachi and supervising the forging of the Kodachi... But in that case, the charge will be higher."
Mrs. Cat stretched out her thumb and index finger to mark a small space.
A sly smile spread out from between the fingers, but it was not annoying.
"It's really not convenient for me to leave the village."
Nara Langui nodded.
"The tasks of forging the sword and supervising the production should be entrusted to you, Mrs. Cat."
"no problem!"
Mrs. Cat patted her chest and said confidently.
"Then let's discuss the specific intentions.
"The first and most important thing is, how much is Nara-kun's budget for weapon forging?"
It's like the same detonating charm.
The detonating talisman with a simple structure and weak power, and the detonating talisman with excellent texture and powerful power are definitely two different prices.
Nara Langui guessed and gave a number.
"At most... about two million taels?"
Previously, I had received a research guarantee fund totaling one million taels from the clan leader.
In order to forge a useful ninja tool, a month's advance research funds from the clan leader... isn't too much, right?
"Two million taels!"
Mrs. Cat's purple pupils suddenly shrank a bit, and her breathing under her straight nose became a bit heavier unconsciously.
"With this budget, even if we hire the best swordsmith from the Iron Country, it will definitely be more than enough!"
The point is, the larger the client's budget, the more revenue she can extract from it.
Since leaving the Cat Village clan, this is the first time Mrs. Cat has undertaken a single commission task with such a huge amount of money.
"What about the material of the forged knife?"
Mrs. Cat licked her lips subconsciously.
“The Kingdom of Iron has a lot of high-quality ores.
"In addition, I can also help purchase some special ores from the black market...but there will be an additional charge."
"I will prepare my own weapons and materials."
Nara Langui took out the scroll and opened it in front of Mrs. Cat according to the opening method explained by the patriarch.
"Chakra metal."
Bang——
With a burst of smoke, pieces of dark ore appeared in front of Mrs. Cat's eyes.
Mrs. Cat took a deep breath in her heart.
Which family's god of wealth is this little brother of the Nara clan?
Just these few pieces of chakra metal are worth more than one million taels!
Such a rich man, such a thick thigh, you can't let it go easily...
"Since we bring our own materials, the price of the forged knife can be reduced a lot."
Mrs. Cat wiped the corners of her lower lips without leaving a trace.
"According to my estimate, you don't need to spend at most one million taels to forge the weapon Nara-kun wants."
"One million taels?"
Nara Langui was a little surprised.
"Is this enough money to do it?"
Nara Langui still remembers how he was about to ask the clan leader about the price of [Chakra Crystal], but was slapped in the face.
"Such a small amount of money..."
Mrs. Cat covered her heart, feeling as if she had been hurt by the unseen atmosphere emanating from the guest.
"Please be sure not to compare the ninja's view of money with that of ordinary people.
"In addition, even for a ninja, one million taels is already the upper limit of the amount of a commissioned task."
"All right!"
Nara Langui readily accepted Mrs. Cat's statement, and the entrustment amount of one million taels was completely within his psychological tolerance.
"These pieces of chakra metal are mainly used to forge Kodachi.
"But if there are any left, please mix them into other metals to make some special kunai."
"no problem!"
Mrs. Cat also agreed very neatly.
"Temporarily, I will commission the task of 'Ninja Sword Forging' for one million taels.
"Before the mission begins, Nara-kun please pay one-fifth of the mission deposit in advance.
"Besides, my rule here is to take 5% of the task amount as remuneration. Is this okay?"
Five percent?
Nara Langui shook his head, "Just sign the contract."
"It's so refreshing, Nara-kun!"
Mrs. Cat was extremely satisfied with her guest's performance and called Ninja Cat to fetch the entrusted scroll, making two copies for both parties.
Nara Langui handed the chakra metal into the hands of Mrs. Cat together with 200,000 taels as a deposit.
"How long does it take to forge a ninja sword?"
"According to my past experience, it won't take more than a month at most for a master of the Iron Kingdom to forge a Kodachi weapon."
Nara Langui nodded, skipped the topic of "ninja sword forging", and brought up another matter.
"Mrs. Cat, I just saw a lot of ninjutsu names in the product list scroll provided."
Nara Langui looked at Mrs. Cat.
"Do you still sell ninjutsu scrolls here?"
"certainly!"
Mrs. Cat's eyes lit up. She had underestimated the big fat sheep in front of her - no, it was a big fat deer!
"Tahuo, get the general outline of the products and present it to Nara-kun!"
Tian Huo turned around quickly and quickly retrieved the scroll that Mrs. Cat named.
Nara Langui unfolded the scroll and quickly rummaged through the catalog according to his own needs.
There are still many types of spells that he currently lacks.
Such as taijutsu, genjutsu, medical ninjutsu, etc.
But in terms of physical skills, Nara Langui is not interested in general physical skills, although he has acquired a C-level physical skill [Arhat Fist].
As for medical ninjutsu, Nara Langui can also ask the pharmacist Nonou for advice.
As for the rest...
'Water Escape!'
Nara Langui quickly found the target ninjutsu and rummaged through the catalog.
He has five attributes, yin, earth, wind, and fire. He already has their own types of spells, but he only lacks water escape.
Nara Langui originally wanted to buy a B-level water escape ninjutsu scroll from Mrs. Cat.
But maybe his expectations were too high.
The only B-level water escape ninjutsu provided by Mrs. Cat here is called - Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu.
It's the super waving hand ninjutsu with forty-four hand seals!
Even if Kisame Kisame comes, he has to shake his shark arms for half a minute to use this B-level water escape.
Nara Langui silently closed the scroll in his hand and asked Mrs. Cat.
"Mrs. Cat, do you have any advanced Muji Water Release Ninjutsu here?"
"..."
Mrs. Cat, who had always behaved cunningly and shrewdly, showed a rare and speechless expression at this moment.
Advanced Muji Water Release Ninjutsu?
Nara family, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Seeing the answer on Mrs. Cat's face, Nara Langui didn't wait for the other party to answer and decisively changed the target.
"I need to purchase two illusion scrolls."
Nara Langui handed the scroll in his hand back to Mrs. Cat.
"D-level illusion, Kasumi Servant's art and magic Narakumi's art."
