For his own purposes, Uchiha Chi took the initiative to break the deadlock and said calmly, "The price you're offering right now is even lower than your own bounty. Do you really think that's acceptable?"
Kakuzu was an S-rank missing-nin, and having lived for a long time, his bounty was worth hundreds of millions. Uchiha Chi immediately continued, "In that case, how about this: you work for me to pay off your debt. As long as you work for me for ten years, I will spare your life. What do you say?"
Upon hearing Uchiha Chi's proposal, Kakuzu felt a secret surge of joy. Uchiha Chi's terms happened to hit his two psychological bottom lines: staying alive and spending as little money as possible. That way, as long as he agreed to Uchiha Chi's terms, not only would he not need to pay a hefty ransom, but he wouldn't have to lose his life either. Therefore, he happily agreed on the spot.
