"Could it be… the person inside is the true leader?" Pipa Jūzō glanced at the fallen Pain on the ground, then at Nagato inside the cabin, and finally came to a realization.
Nobody paid any attention to Pipa Jūzō. Instead, all of them were staring curiously at Nagato's condition.
To everyone's astonishment, Nagato's withered body was slowly beginning to recover.
Even his severed leg was gradually regenerating.
"Boss, what is this thing?" Biwa Jūzō pointed at the rapidly flashing numbers on the side of the healing pod, his face full of curiosity.
Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward the direction he was pointing.
Indeed, they noticed the digits were climbing at an incredible speed—by now, it had already reached over five hundred.
"This is the price you must pay. At this rate, you now owe five million ryō," Yun Xiao said with a smile.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. None of them had expected that this healing pod would be so expensive!
How long had it even been? And already the cost had reached five million?
At this moment, the number had already climbed past seven hundred.
Konan didn't react too strongly. Although the price was indeed exorbitant, it was still within what she could accept.
Biwa Jūzō, however, could hardly believe it. He stared at Yun Xiao and exclaimed, "So expensive?! Boss, why don't you just go rob people instead?"
Yun Xiao spread his hands indifferently. "And what do you think I'm doing right now?"
Because truthfully, Yun Xiao really was robbing them. Originally, he had intended to use Senzu Beans to trade with Nagato.
But after thinking about it, he realized the beans were just too outrageous. Not only were their healing effects astonishing, but they were also ridiculously cheap.
After weighing the options, Yun Xiao decided that the healing pod was a far better deal. The pod charged by the second.
This way, Nagato's body would be completely healed, and Yun Xiao would also earn a great sum. Truly a win-win situation!
"If only the price of Senzu Beans could be raised a bit," Yun Xiao thought to himself.
"Host, ever since a fat man named Yajirobe stole and devoured the cat spirit's beans, the stock of Senzu Beans has been nearly exhausted.
Korin said that the beans are close to extinction and cannot be reproduced in the short term.
This system has temporarily decided to adjust the price of Senzu Beans from five hundred thousand ryō each to ten million ryō apiece!"
Yun Xiao: "???"
He had only been thinking about it, but hadn't expected the price to actually rise!
"What a sin… what a sin indeed," Yun Xiao muttered.
From this day on, the natives of the Ninja World would never again taste affordable Senzu Beans.
And all of this could be blamed on that fat man named Yajirobe…
Dragon Ball World.
Korin buried his head inside the jar and muttered, "They're gone… not a single one left…"
He looked utterly devastated. With tears nearly in his eyes, he turned to glare furiously at the fat man sleeping soundly on the ground nearby. "You bastard! You actually ate all of my Senzu Beans!"
Hearing Korin's angry roar, the fat man only scratched his butt, rolled over, and continued snoring loudly.
Seeing this, Korin collapsed onto the floor, staring helplessly up at the bright blue sky, his eyes shimmering with tears.
"Meow… without Senzu Beans, what will become of my dried fish snacks?"
"Damn, this is way too expensive!" Biwa Jūzō jumped up in fright as he watched the numbers on the healing pod skyrocket, cursing uncontrollably.
By now, the digits had reached shocking heights.
As a shinobi, Pipa Jūzō had never developed a habit of saving money. Back in Kirigakure, he had always spent all of his mission earnings on shuriken and explosive tags.
So despite being a ninja for so many years, he remained as poor as ever. That was why, when Yun Xiao tried to sell him weapons, he had outright refused.
It wasn't because the weapons were too sinister—but simply because he couldn't afford them.
At present, all he had on him was ten thousand ryō in cash, money he had found lying around some time ago.
Watching the numbers climb on the display, his heart ached. Such an enormous amount of money—completely wasted!
Even though it wasn't his money, he still felt distressed.
Never in his entire life had he seen, let alone earned, so much.
Subconsciously, Biwa Jūzō glanced at the Executioner's Blade on his back, wondering how much this sword could fetch if he sold it to the boss…
Ding, ding, ding.
The numbers on the display continued climbing until they finally stopped after reaching five thousand.
At that moment, the machine emitted a crisp sound, and the green liquid inside the pod began to slowly drain away. Nagato, who had been lying inside with eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them.
Click.
A soft sound echoed from within the healing pod as Nagato gently pushed against the door. The pod slowly opened.
Nagato stepped out, feeling the changes in his body. His face showed visible surprise.
He was no longer the frail, sickly figure he had once been. His body had completely recovered to its peak state—perhaps even stronger and healthier than before.
What shocked him the most was that the leg he had lost so long ago had miraculously regenerated, as though it had never been severed in the first place.
Step.
Nagato took a step forward, savoring the sensation of his feet pressing against the ground. His face was filled with excitement.
For so many years, he had been trapped inside that dark room, unable to move at all.
Now, he could finally stand up again, and freely walk!
He had never dared to hope for such a miracle before. But now, it had become reality.
From this day forward, he no longer needed the Pain Six Paths!
Among everyone present, the one most overwhelmed with joy was Konan.
She rushed to Nagato's side, her voice trembling as she asked, "Nagato… your body, it's finally healed?"
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her cheeks like glistening pearls.
Nagato looked at the weeping Konan and instinctively reached out his hand.
Gently wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, he softly replied, "Yes, it's healed."
His action instantly turned Konan's face crimson. She shyly lowered her head and took a step back.
Nagato suddenly realized his behavior might have been a little inappropriate and became somewhat flustered.
The two of them exchanged a glance, then quickly averted their eyes, neither knowing how to break the awkwardness between them.
At that moment, Yun Xiao stepped forward, coughing twice to draw their attention.
Standing in front of the healing pod, he pointed at the digits displayed on the screen and said with a smile, "Well then, the total for this treatment comes to ten million ryō. Please make your payment."
His words shattered the awkward silence between Nagato and Konan, snapping them back to reality.
Nagato quickly pulled out two scrolls stuffed with money and handed them to Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao accepted the payment, carefully checked it over, and nodded in satisfaction.
Then he leaned toward Nagato's ear and whispered teasingly, "You like this girl, don't you?"
Nagato's face immediately flushed red. "N-No…"
Seeing his reaction, Yun Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. Patting Nagato on the shoulder, he grinned and said, "Whether you've done anything or not, you know the truth in your own heart."
"Boss, we'll be leaving now," Nagato said quickly before hurrying out of the shop, clearly embarrassed.
"Youth really is a wonderful thing," Yun Xiao sighed with emotion.
Although this body of his was not yet twenty years old, he had lived twenty years in his previous life. With both lives combined, he was essentially forty, so he had some right to feel sentimental.
Konan still felt curious about what the boss had whispered to Nagato, but upon seeing Nagato leave, she hurried to follow him.
Sasori of the Red Sand also spoke to Yun Xiao, "Boss, I'm leaving as well."
With that, he turned and left, eager to experience life in his new body.
Biwa Jūzō shouted after him, "Wait for me!" and dashed out.
Pipa Jūzō had already made up his mind. From now on, no matter how much he had to save, he would purchase the Blood Demon Sword.
Although he didn't dare ask Yun Xiao the exact price, he knew it would definitely be astronomical—at the very least tens of millions.
After all, nothing sold by Yun Xiao ever came cheap…
Standing at the shop entrance, Yun Xiao called out toward the retreating figures of the group:
"Make sure you all come back often!"
