Ximen Yan responded calmly.
Originally, he intended to gradually sell ingredients in Konoha Village.
This is also why he originally wanted Matt Kay to help promote it.
However, they happened to run into Kakashi, who was leading Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno.
And they were also being targeted by four people.
This forced him to change his approach, which directly attracted many members of the Konoha clan.
Such an action would obviously attract the attention of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Therefore, Ximen Yan had actually anticipated that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would send people.
However, they have now traded with almost all the powerful families in Konoha Village.
Ximen Yan wouldn't mind meeting the three Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Even if the deal falls through, it won't have a significant impact on Ximen Yan.
..............................
517 arrived at the Hokage's office with two ninjas.
Ximen Yan then met the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After exchanging pleasantries, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, also inquired about the sale of ingredients.
Ximen Yan naturally provided a straightforward explanation.
They also highly recommended premium ingredients such as BB corn and super dangerous varieties.
Of course, Ximen Yan recommended him not only to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
I've recommended it to people from the Konoha clans before.
Unfortunately, only the Hyuga family purchased some.
Ximen Yan knew very well that the Hyuga family made the purchase because the Hyuga family had a distinction between the main family and the branch family.
Without a doubt, these high-quality ingredients will be used for the host.
However, despite Ximen Yan's recommendation, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, unfortunately did not choose to purchase it.
They simply purchased a large quantity of ordinary sea monster meat.
In fact, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, knew that the high-grade ingredients recommended by Ximen Yan were definitely good things.
However, the price is also very high.
This was unacceptable to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
What he needs are ingredients that offer better value for money.
Only in this way can the overall strength of Konoha Village be improved.
Chapter 564 Root Ninja
Ximen Yan was unaware of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts.
However, after learning that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was not planning to buy high-end ingredients.
Ximen Yan's attitude suddenly turned somewhat cold.
After trading some ingredients, they took their leave.
To Ximen Yan's surprise, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, did not make any other requests.
However, shortly after he left the Hokage's office.
Ximen Yan was stopped by several people.
Of course, the other party was also there to trade ingredients, and in considerable quantities.
Not only ordinary ingredients, but also high-end ingredients were traded extensively, even surpassing the wealth of the Hyuga clan.
This surprised Ximen Yan greatly.
However, after learning which family the other party represented, Ximen Yan was not surprised.
Because the other party represents the Sarutobi clan.
Obviously, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, could not directly purchase high-grade ingredients.
After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi represents the ingredients purchased by the village.
It will naturally be used in the village when the time comes.
However, the Sarutobi clan can come and buy from him individually!
Afterwards, the Mito clan, the Utatane clan, and the Shimura clan all came to trade.
The ingredients they use in this transaction are no less than those of the Hyuga clan.
Clearly, the families behind the Hokage and elders of Konoha Village have also gained enormous benefits!
But this has nothing to do with him.
Although Ximen Yan was somewhat disdainful, he still completed the transaction quite decisively.
However, Ximen Yan had just completed the transaction.
They were then surrounded by several ANBU ninjas wearing animal masks.
"Please come with us!"
Looking at the several ANBU ninjas, Ximen Yan could roughly guess their origins.
These ANBU ninjas were clearly Root ninjas sent by Danzo Shimura, the Nabekage.
Of course, this must have been tacitly approved by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
All I can say is that Danzo Shimura truly deserves to be called the "Kage of the Ninja Kingdom".
“What a hassle”
Ximen Yan had no intention of going with him to see Shimura Danzo.
After all, Danzo Shimura was a ruthless man who would self-destruct.
However, he didn't plan to go with the others, which put him in a difficult position.
Although it would be easy for Ximen Yan to deal with a few people.
However, it wasn't just these few Root ninjas who were eyeing him.
..............................
Just as Ximen Yan was considering whether or not to take action.
Suddenly, he relaxed, realizing that he didn't need to do anything.
"What are you?"
Kakashi appeared not far away, looking at the Root ninjas with a serious expression.
Although these Root ninjas are generally indistinguishable to the average person.
However, Kakashi spent several years in the Anbu.
It was obvious that these Root ninjas were not Anbu ninjas.
Meanwhile, Kakashi had already guessed the identities of these ninjas.
No matter how mysterious Root is, it's hard to hide it from a Jonin like him.
It's just that no one usually takes the initiative to expose it.
However, several Root ninjas now want to make a move against Ximen Yan.
Kakashi naturally didn't intend to continue watching.
Although there was no evidence, Kakashi instinctively felt that angering Simon might not be a good thing for Konoha.
Upon seeing Kakashi appear, the Root ninjas exchanged glances.
They then planned to have the two of them hold off Kakashi while the others took away Ximen Yan.
However, at that moment, Might Guy appeared next to Kakashi.
"You have no chance against my Blue Beast of Konoha."
"Just surrender obediently!"
Matt Kai said, revealing his snow-white teeth.
Looking at Kakashi and Might Guy.
The Root ninjas immediately realized that their mission for today was doomed.
After all, neither Kakashi nor Might Guy are comparable to ordinary Jonin.
In particular, Might Guy is a taijutsu ninja.
It has an advantage in speed.
There was no way they could escape from Might Guy's pursuit.
Of course, most importantly, if a battle were to break out with Kakashi and Might Guy...
It's bound to cause a huge commotion.
Even if they manage to take Ximen Yan away, it will still cause trouble for Lord Danzo.
"retreat!"
Several Root ninjas decisively chose to retreat.
Then he quickly ran away into the distance.
Might Guy wanted to give chase, but Kakashi stopped him.
Although several Root ninjas cannot be seen in the light.
But they are still ninjas of Konoha.
There's no need to continue the pursuit.
..............................
"Thank you both for your help."
"...otherwise, I would have suffered heavy losses!"
Ximen Yan looked at Kakashi and Might Guy with a serious expression and said.
Kakashi was speechless when he heard Ximen Yan say that.
He hadn't seen any fear on Ximen Yan's face just now.
Clearly, Ximen Yan didn't care about the previous Root ninjas.
"It's alright, you're a merchant who came to our Konoha Village to do business."
"When something like this happens, you can't just stand by and watch."
Matt Kay gave a hearty smile.
"As expected of a Konoha ninja."
Ximen Yan gave a thumbs up.
Ximen Yan then continued.
"Well then, since you two have helped me..."
"Then let me treat you two to a meal!"
They heard that Ximen Yan was going to treat them to a meal.
Both Kakashi and Might Guy were somewhat interested.
I had been tracking Ximenyan for several hours.
In particular, I smelled the barbecue made by Ximen Yan for a long time.
