A few days before, after he had familiarized himself with the cell phone and the Oasis as much as possible, Hiruzen had arranged a meeting with Kaito at the Oasis, where they could meet in person despite the great distance, something that surprised Hiruzen and his advisors very much.
Facing each other in a private booth of a luxurious restaurant, Hiruzen sat with the two ninjas who were in the land of Uzumkai, while on the other side, Kaito sat with three other Uzumaki ninjas.
"I think you changed your mind about what to offer to get another Jinchuuriki from our family after you tried the cell phone, right Hiruzen?" Kaito asked with a serious voice and look on his face.
Hiruzen nodded his head and confirmed. "Yes, even though we are very busy with the Second World War, we still need a new Jinchuuriki, and for that, we are willing to change our offer to support a squad of 20 Senju ninjas, consisting of 1 Elite Jonin ninja, 4 Jonin ninjas and 10 Chunin ninjas."
When he heard Hiruzen's offer, Kaito was already very pleased, this help of 1 Elite Jonin ninja and 4 Jonin ninjas would be very useful, and the fact that these ninjas were from the Senju family made it even better, since it was a family they could trust in both strength and character.
But he knew that Hiruzen wasn't stupid enough to offer the limit he could deliver without a reason, so he was probably willing to deliver more.
Thinking about the reason, Kaito understood that Hiruzen was trying to buy their friendship, probably because of what Alex had said to them!
'Even at this moment, Daimyo Alex is helping us...' Kaito thought with satisfaction. Kaito thought with satisfaction.
"This is a very tempting offer Lord Hokage, but I believe that the help of 20 ninjas is not enough for me to send you a powerful fuijutsu talent to become a jinchuuriki, at most, I could send you a child with above average talent." Kaito explained, which was true.
But Hiruzen also understood something: If they offered more, the Uzumaki would be willing to send a child with really good talent.
But now, Hiruzen wondered what Kaito wanted to achieve.
Since he was talking about the child who would become the next Jinchuuriki of Konoha, it was essential that this child had the best possible talent to prevent a catastrophe in the future.
"What do you need, Lord Uzumaki? If you tell me what you need, it will be easier for me to organize myself to get it for you." Hiruzen asked.
Pretending to think about it, Kaito already had something in mind. "I want a total of 2 billion ryo."
Hearing that, Hiruzen's heart almost stopped.
"2 billion?! Lord Uzumaki, this amount is far beyond our capabilities..." Hiruzen explained.
Shaking his head, Kaito knew that it wasn't true. "We know that's not true, Lord Hokage, just the funds that the Daimyo of Fire gives you every year is more than that, not to mention the profits you get from the taxes of the huge population of your village and the large profits you get from the thousands of missions that the ninjas of your village carry out every day. Even though it's a high figure for ordinary people, those of us who deal with the economy of a country know that it's not that high".
Listening to Kaito's arguments, Hiruzen sighed as he explained, "But we also know that even though the village makes a lot of money from missions, taxes and funding, we also have a lot of expenses, Lord Uzumaki. This number of 2 billion is really impossible for us..."
Kaito had already imagined this, but he wanted to scare Hiruzen with a high number first, so that he would lower it to an amount he considered fair.
"What would your counter proposal be, Lord Hokage?" Kaito asked.
Hiruzen thought for a while and finally came up with a figure. "500 million ryo and you can open a mobile phone shop in Konoha."
Hearing this, Kaito narrowed his eyes at Hiruzen. "Lord Hokage, we know that a cell phone shop in your village will not only benefit us, it will probably benefit you more than us."
Hiruzen smiled but answered. "But I think you also profit from the sales of cell phones with Daimyo Alex, right? You'll also profit from selling them to the more than 200,000 citizens of Konoha."
Thinking for a moment, Kaito finally answered. "1 billion ryo and I'll talk to Lord Alex about it. It will only be up to him whether he opens a shop in Konoha or not, since he is the only manufacturer and supplier of mobile phones in the world."
Hearing Kaito's counterproposal, Hiruzen thought for a moment and understood that this was a price he would have to pay.
Both for the benefit of having a cell phone shop in the village and for the safety of the people to have a really powerful Jinchuuriki to control the nine-tailed fox.
"All right, I accept." Hiruzen nodded, which made Kaito smile.
"Of course, Lord Hokage, we know how the Jinchuuriki are treated in other villages and we don't want that with our children, so if we find out that our children are being mistreated in your village, we will take it as an affront and we will not stand by and watch as you use our children and still treat them badly." Kaito's voice was cold as he said this.
The only village where the Jinchuuriki weren't mistreated was Konoha because Lady Mito was a Jinchuuriki and the wife of the first Hokage, which made everyone respect her, but in all the other villages, the Jinchuuriki were considered slaves and freaks.
The Uzumaki would not accept such a thing with their descendants and with cell phones that could transmit information at any time, it would be easy to find out if the children were treated well or not.
And Hiruzen knew that, so he would have to take special care of the child who would go to Konoha, so that nothing bad would happen and the people would not treat the child badly.
With the contract signed, Kaito was very happy.
Not only had he earned a billion Ryo, which he could invest directly in Pokemon, but he could also earn another billion when the mobile phones were sold to all the citizens of Konoha, which would not only provide a steady income, but would also open doors for them to open stores in several other cities in the Land of Fire, possibly including the capital!
