Chapter 423: Agreed to Rot Together
Not only that, Tsunade, representing Konoha, just made a move and blocked half of the weapons.
This also made other representatives of small countries feel a sense of crisis.
Everyone looked at others in the seats and estimated their needs according to Mifune's list.
But no matter how you calculate it, it is the ending of "many monks and little porridge."
Plus Konoha's such a big hand, buying out half of the quantity at a high price, made other small countries feel urgent.
Fast hands have it, slow hands have none.
Soon, ninjas from other small countries began to bid in turn.
Due to the form of the auction, the bidding was very fierce for a time, and the small countries bid one after another, and the prices had already exceeded the price of weapons sold by the Land of Iron at ordinary times.
But no matter how these small countries bid, they never broke through the 1.5 times price given by Tsunade.
The average price at this moment has only increased to a 20% premium.
According to Ryosuke's observation, a 30% increase is the limit for some small countries with insufficient strength.
And for small countries with slightly stronger strength like the Waterfall Nin and Grass Nin, it seems that there is still room for maneuver.
A deep glint flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes; it is time to add fire to the situation.
Just then, Mizunuki Ryosuke spoke slowly.
"Kirigakure seeks 30% of the total amount of this batch of weapons."
"Increase the price by 30%."
Kirigakure, which had been silent, suddenly bid, and both the price and demand were stuck at a very dangerous level.
Kirigakure's sudden entry made the expressions of a group of small country representatives change.
With Konoha's whale-swallowing ahead, now no one can say anything about Kirigakure.
And Kirigakure did not do things to the extreme, and this price happened to be within the acceptable range of all small countries, making a group of small countries somewhat up and down.
(Internal discussion)
With only 20% of the total weapon quantity left, it is clearly impossible to satisfy the needs of all small countries.
To successfully buy weapons, they can only choose to increase the price and compete with the great powers.
At this moment, small countries with slightly stronger strength were a bit unable to sit still.
Because of Kirigakure's sudden entry, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the base price of this batch of weapons has reached the level of a minimum 30% premium.
They know that if they don't take action, it is very likely that the price will continue to climb.
Instead of this, it is better to give a high price directly now; if you lose, you lose a little, at least you can ensure that your country can successfully purchase weapons.
"Grass Nin wants 10%, 40% premium!"
Soon, the Grass Nin representative said through gritted teeth, raising the price to a limit that the Grass Nin could bear.
"Waterfall Nin also wants 10%, 45% premium!!!"
Facing Kirigakure's sudden price increase, the Grass Nin and Waterfall Nin, who were stronger among the small countries, chose to "not talk about martial virtue" and raised the price to a new height.
And in order to seek stability, the Waterfall Nin even offered a price half a percent higher than the Grass Nin, making the Grass Nin representative's face look a bit ugly.
This price is already quite close to the "ceiling price" given by Tsunade before.
Hearing this, the representatives of other small countries changed their expressions.
Konoha, Kirigakure, Grass Nin, and Waterfall Nin have already raised the price to a minimum 30% premium, and have covered all the shares of this batch of weapons.
Unless they offer a price above a 30% premium, this batch of weapons is destined to have nothing to do with them.
"Bastard!"
A ninja representative of a small country cursed in his heart.
The object of his curse was neither Konoha, which raised the price from the beginning and bought wildly.
Nor was it Kirigakure, which entered the market later and raised the base price.
Instead, it was the Grass Nin and Waterfall Nin who suddenly bid at this moment; in his view, it was the sudden "not talking about martial virtue" price change of the Grass Nin and Waterfall Nin that made the price climb so fast.
Everyone agreed to rot together, but you secretly started rolling?
"Land of River wants 5%, 50% premium!!!!"
Soon, this small country representative who was still cursing the Waterfall Nin and Grass Nin for not talking about martial virtue in his heart just now, stood up directly and reported the "ceiling price" while panting.
This price also surpassed the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Grass in one fell swoop, reaching the same level as Konoha.
Seeing this situation, everyone was shocked.
What is the situation?
Are the ninjas of the Land of River crazy?!
Among the many small countries, the Land of River is considered a relatively weak country.
It has no resource characteristics worth mentioning, nor any significant combat power.
Instead, because it is close to the desert of the Land of Wind, the territory is very barren, belonging to the kind of country that has ninjas but no ninja village.
The Land of River, which has always been weak and has no sense of existence, suddenly offered such a high price, making everyone dumbfounded.
And for the surprised eyes of the crowd, the representative of the Land of River just gritted his teeth and said nothing.
People know their own affairs; this behavior of the Land of River is indeed a last resort.
The Land of River is located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
Like other small countries, it exists as a buffer zone between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
Because of the previous move of Hanzo of the Salamander leading the Rain Nin to attack the Land of Wind, the Land of Wind deployed a large amount of military force on the border of the Land of River.
Facing the Land of Wind's deployment on the border, the Land of Fire naturally also made a response, and a large number of Konoha ninjas were also waiting on the border with the Land of River.
This back and forth made the Land of River caught in the middle extremely uncomfortable.
For the ninjas of a great power, the border line with a small country is meaningless...
Every day, a large number of Sand Nin and Konoha ninjas intersperse and probe within the territory of the Land of River to obtain the other party's movements, making the Land of River dare to be angry but dare not speak.
In the eyes of a great power, who would care about the views of an insignificant small country?
Therefore, the anxiety of the citizens of the Land of River and the River Nin has reached the limit, and it is raining on top of the leaking house.
The weak national strength of the Land of River makes the Land of River itself have no ability to cast weapons on a large scale, and the weapons of the River Nin are all purchased from the Land of Iron.
Therefore, for other countries, stopping the purchase of weapons from the Land of Iron, or just having a gap in weapons.
For the Land of River, if there is no supply of weapons from the Land of Iron, the River Nin can only fight the enemy with bare hands.
Under the interference of various factors, the River Nin had to choose to go all-in and offer a high price to buy weapons.
And in fact, the previous goal of the Land of River was to obtain at least 10% of the total amount of this batch of weapons, but as the price continued to climb, the Land of River could only force itself to grit its teeth and increase the price, and even did not hesitate to reduce its own demand share.
The bid of the Land of River made everyone completely crazy.
At this moment, they truly felt a sense of urgency.
If this continues, they might really not be able to buy even a hair.
What if the budget is exceeded? Just don't buy it? ===== CHAPTER 425 =====
