It was 6000 tons of gold dust, not 6000 tons of sand. Even the richest village among the Five Great Ninja Villages could not afford that much.
However, he had already agreed before, and if he said no, Hiruzen was worried that Zhang Miao would be unhappy, so at this time, there was a hint of hesitation on his face.
"This... With Konoha's current financial resources, the village can only buy 3000 tons at most, but as long as I have a month..."
"I don't have a month!"
Without waiting for Hiruzen to finish speaking, Zhang Miao waved at him.
"But you can give me all the money first. Give me as much money as you can. It doesn't matter if it's in ryos or silver notes. As for the rest of the money, you can give it to Kushina. After all, her identity is not suitable for missions."
"Yes, I understand!"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Hiruzen immediately nodded.
"Then I will go back and get someone to prepare Kushina's new file, as well as the money needed to buy your gold dust. Also, the place to store those gold dust needs to be arranged. After all, 6000 tons of gold dust is of great importance. When it is ready, I will ask Kakashi to inform you."
After that, Hiruzen bowed slightly to Zhang Miao and then turned to leave. After he left, Zhang Miao sighed helplessly.
"Sigh... I am really a little unaccustomed to Grandpa Third's new antics!"
"Hehe!" As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Kushina smiled happily, "There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked you to be the Nether King?"
"That's true!" Hearing Kushina's words, Zhang Miao shrugged his shoulders helplessly and turned to look at Hizashi.
"Well, after so many days of long travel, everyone must be tired. Let's go inside and have some rest!"
After that, Zhang Miao took the lead and went inside his house. After he went in, the other three followed him in.
When Zhang Miao was in the village, he had used the Mind Body Transmission to inform Yuji and his Wood Clone to take Naruto out to play, so there was no one else in the house at this time.
After entering the house, Kushina took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook, while Pakura brewed some tea and brought it to Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and nodded at Pakura.
"Alright, Pakura, you've worked hard all the way. Go to the attic to rest first!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Pakura obeyed Zhang Miao's orders unconditionally, so as soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, she immediately went to the attic.
After Pakura went to the attic, only Zhang Miao and Hizashi were left in the room. After putting down the teacup, Zhang Miao smiled at him.
"Haha, Hizashi, you want to see Neji, right? Don't worry, you'll see him soon!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Hizashi hurriedly lowered his head.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and at the same time, a familiar voice sounded outside the door.
"Boss, I'm here!"
"Hehe, you're really fast!" Hearing this voice, Zhang Miao immediately grinned. "Come in!"
"Yes, boss!"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the door was pulled open and a man who looked exactly the same as Hizashi walked in.
After he came in, he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Miao.
"Greetings, boss! I, Hyuga Hishu, has arrived in response of the boss' call. Please tell me what to do this time!"
At this time, the person who came in was none other than Hizashi that Zhang Miao recruited earlier in the story using Hizashi's fragments.
After hearing his words, Zhang Miao immediately nodded. "Yes, there is indeed something I need you to do, but wait a moment!"
At this point, Zhang Miao turned to look at Hizashi.
"Hizashi, your cursed seal has disappeared with your death. From today on, you will stay in the Hyuga clan as the Hyuga Hishu. This way, you can often see Neji!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Hizashi quickly knelt down on one knee. "Thank you for your grace!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao immediately waved at him with a smile.
"Alright, we are all on the same side. There is no need to be so polite. Go!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Hizashi nodded again and then turned to go out. After he left, Zhang Miao spoke to Hishu.
"You have completed your mission in Konoha. When it gets dark, you can leave the village with Yuji. When the time comes, you can bring this thing to the Land of Waves!"
At this point, Zhang Miao snapped his fingers. In an instant, a one-meter-long scroll appeared in his hand.
"This scroll was originally used to seal Hizashi's corpse. However, I have now sealed around 200 million in cash inside it. The character needed to unseal it is '卢'. You can just hand it over to Kasaki when you arrive in the Land of Waves! "
"Yes, boss!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the Hishu took the seal scroll and placed it behind him. "I will deliver it safely to Lord Kasaki!"
"Hm, that will do!" Seeing his action, Zhang Miao nodded with satisfaction. "Oh right, I'm not in Konoha for half a year. What happened in Konoha? Tell me in detail!"
"Yes, boss!"
Next, Hishu told Zhang Miao all the big things that happened in the past half a year.
While the two were chatting, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the house, and then the door was pulled open, and a familiar voice immediately came in.
"Big brother, I'm back!"
The person who entered was none other than the excited Naruto. After entering the door, he directly threw himself into Zhang Miao's arms and grinned.
"Hehe... Big brother, you ran so fast that I couldn't catch up to you. Oh, right, big brother, why did your clothes change? And I feel that you seem to be a little different!"
Naruto did not know that the one in front of him now was no longer the previous Wood Clone, but Zhang Miao's true body!
Looking at his puzzled face, Zhang Miao immediately smiled and rubbed his little head.
"I arrived here first, so I took the time to change my clothes. What's the difference? Alright, go wash your hands. It's almost time to eat!"
"Eat?"
As a foodie, as soon as Naruto heard the word 'eat', his attention was indeed diverted. He immediately nodded his little head happily.
"Yes, I will wash my hands now!"
After that, he ran to the kitchen excitedly to wash his hands. Soon, Zhang Miao heard his surprised voice coming from the kitchen.
"Eh? Who are you, Pretty Auntie? Why are you in my kitchen... Eh? Why are you crying? Pretty Auntie, don't cry. Here, have some candy..."
"Naruto... sob..."
Hearing the voice coming from the kitchen, Zhang Miao's lips curled into a smile.
"It looks like my efforts over the past year have not been in vain!!"
