Chapter 286: Tsunade's Rate of 100,000 Ryo per Hour
Chapter 286: Tsunade's Rate of 100,000 Ryo per Hour
"Teacher Mu Yue." Seeing Mu Yue, Shizune was surprised and greeted her.
As one of this year's graduating students who had undergone Mu Yue's special training and learned from her for a period, Shizune had a good impression of Mu Yue.
Mu Yue responded with a gentle smile and a nod.
"Hmm?" Hearing Shizune's voice, Tsunade turned to Mu Yue in confusion. Upon taking a closer look, she realized it wasn't Namikaze Minato but someone she didn't recognize.
Since Minato often followed Jiraiya, and Mu Yue also had similar golden hair with a gentle smile on her face, Tsunade had unconsciously assumed that the person following Jiraiya was Minato.
"Shizune, do you know him?" Tsunade turned to Shizune and asked.
"Yes, he is Mu Yue. He taught me for a while, and he is an amazing teacher," Shizune replied softly.
"So he's a teacher at the Ninja Academy?" Tsunade thought for a moment and said.
Since Shizune's mentor was her, then Mu Yue could only be a teacher at the Ninja Academy.
Shizune nodded.
"Don't underestimate Mu Yue just because he's a Ninja Academy teacher. Mu Yue is not weak at all. He not only defeated Bakuton Kari but also helped me repel a jinchuriki," Jiraiya listed Mu Yue's most impressive achievements so far.
"I never said that teachers at the Ninja Academy are necessarily weak. So, what brings you here today?" Tsunade asked, rubbing her eyes as if she hadn't slept enough.
She couldn't remember when she had fallen asleep yesterday, only that she had been drinking and eating all night.
"Mu Yue has been studying medical ninjutsu recently and has encountered some difficulties, so he wants to seek your guidance," Jiraiya explained their purpose for the visit.
Although Mu Yue had mentioned yesterday that he could communicate on his own, Jiraiya felt that it would be better if he spoke up, after all, they had been friends for many years.
"Seek guidance in medical ninjutsu? Then you can leave now, I don't have the time or interest to teach medical ninjutsu to others," Tsunade refused directly after hearing their request.
While she might be willing to help with healing, teaching was out of the question. Currently, the only person she was willing to teach was Shizune.
Jiraiya's expression turned a little embarrassed. Tsunade's refusal was within his expectations, but he didn't anticipate it to be so swift and direct.
"Lady Tsunade, I won't waste too much of your time, and I won't let you teach for free. I can pay you a fee," Mu Yue said with a unwavering smile.
Hearing about the fee, Tsunade became slightly interested. After all, her carefree lifestyle was quite expensive, and sometimes she could lose several million ryo in one night if she was too quick.
"How much can you offer me? I'm one of the Sannin, and the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world," Tsunade emphasized her identity.
It was perfect timing as she had recently lost quite a bit of money, and now she could recoup some of it from Mu Yue.
Seeing that Tsunade became more amenable when money was mentioned, a helpless smile appeared on Jiraiya's face.
"How about 100,000 ryo per hour?" Mu Yue offered a very high price.
Usually, the negotiation would start with Mu Yue offering a lower price, then Tsunade would ask for a higher amount, and finally, Mu Yue would bargain for a slightly lower rate. After all, if it were truly 100,000 ryo per hour, Mu Yue's small fortune wouldn't even last a full day.
However, Mu Yue had already thought of another solution. If all went well, he would only need to spend a small amount initially.
"100,000 ryo per hour, huh?" Tsunade was tempted by the offer.
100,000 ryo was not a small sum. The reward for a mid-range B-rank mission was around 100,000 ryo, and one wouldn't even get to keep the entire amount.
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade," Mu Yue said with a gentle smile.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as Tsunade was willing to teach at the start, the rest would be much easier to handle.
"Do you want to start now? If so, I'll start the timer. Also, even if it's less than an hour, I'll still charge you for a full hour, which is one hundred thousand Ryo." Tsunade reminded him.
Jiraiya interrupted Mu Yue with a glance, pulling him to the side.
"Haha, sorry about this, Mu Yue. Tsunade isn't usually like this. I think she's been losing quite a bit of money lately," Jiraiya explained on Tsunade's behalf.
Indeed, Tsunade had a rather temperamental personality, but such situations were quite rare.
"It's alright. After all, Lady Tsunade isn't my teacher, so it's only natural that I pay her for her services," Mu Yue said with a smile.
Then, Jiraiya patted his clothes and took out six hundred thousand Ryo, handing it to Mu Yue. "I don't have much money on me. Here's about six hundred thousand Ryo. Take it first."
He had brought Mu Yue here, and now things had turned out like this, so he felt a bit embarrassed. Moreover, this money was meant for Mu Yue but was essentially for Tsunade.
If Tsunade had asked him for a loan, he wouldn't have batted an eye even if it were several million Ryo.
"Thank you for your kindness, Jiraiya-san, but this is my matter, and it's not something you should be responsible for," Mu Yue politely refused Jiraiya's offer.
Seeing Mu Yue's determined gaze, Jiraiya patted his shoulder and didn't say anything more. They walked back together to where Tsunade was standing.
"Tsunade, it's been a while since we had a drink together. How about we go for a drink tonight? I'll invite Orochimaru as well," Jiraiya suggested with a smile.
Ever since the Second Great Ninja War, the three of them rarely gathered together. Jiraiya traveled the ninja world, leaving behind legends of his conquests, while Orochimaru devoted himself to researching various ninja techniques and forbidden jutsu.
"Drinking? Sure, no problem," Tsunade readily agreed.
She had limited time for teaching, but she always had time for drinking.
After inviting Tsunade for a drink, Jiraiya left to find Orochimaru, who was often hard to locate and usually not at home.
"So, how many hours do you want to learn today?" Tsunade asked with great interest, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Mu Yue, who had transformed into the image of money in her mind.
"Then let's start with six hours," Mu Yue replied after some thought.
It was currently 12:30 pm, and six hours later, it would be dinnertime.
After he finished speaking, Mu Yue took out his wallet and pulled out six hundred thousand Ryo in paper bills, handing them to Tsunade.
Tsunade casually glanced at the money and, feeling that there were no issues, nodded in satisfaction. One hundred thousand Ryo per hour was indeed a very attractive number.
"You're quite impressive. I like you. If you have any questions, ask away," Tsunade said as she tossed the money to Shizune for safekeeping and looked at Mu Yue.
Without her even asking, Mu Yue had taken the initiative to pay, and this straightforwardness made Tsunade view him more favorably.
