Daraku had grown tired of his swords. Despite using them in so many battles and relying on them so often. Nisebi was a wonderful blade from his father's collection but he felt its chakra ability starting to drain him every time he used it, and it was uncomfortable in his hand. Mugen Hikou had changed a lot over the years, and it was his primary weapon, but he wanted to forge a new weapon of his own. So, he got dressed and strapped both swords onto his back and prepared to head out to the Bazaar. He'd bought a wakizashi from a specific merchant a number of weeks ago, so he wanted to go to the same guy and try to offer him both of the swords. Now, this wouldn't be too difficult, since he had two high quality blades fit for a king and worth thousands of ryo. Or maybe it would be? He wasn't all too sure.
The shop was a small tent just outside one of the larger shops in the Bazaar, safe from the sun due to the shade. It was hot as hell outside, but he was used to this, living in Suna for so long. He arrived at the shop and took off his swords, holding one in each hand as he approached the merchant. "I'm back! And a brought you a few presents." He set the swords down on the table and gave the merchant a big grin. The merchant looked down at the blades, then back up at Daraku with a forced smile. Daraku wasn't quite sure what was wrong, but it was obvious that the merchant was...hesitant. "I'd like to sell both of my swords, if you hadn't noticed." he said, still smiling mindlessly.
"Well, I don't know how much you expect for these...these are amazing quality swords, but I don't have enough ryo to afford to buy these off of you." Daraku's smile slowly faded and then he ran a hand through his hair, looking sadly at the merchant. "I, um...I'm only asking for 2,250 ryo for this one...and 2,300 for this one...that's, what, 5,550 ryo total?...I think that's reasonable." The merchant shook his head no. "No. I can't afford even 2,000 ryo. This shop isn't as popular as you'd think, kiddo. Sorry." With a sullen expression, Daraku picked his weapons back up, and turned to leave. The Bazaar was huge, though! He'd be able to find someone to buy his swords, right...?
