No, the Aztecs were an indigenous civilization in Mesoamerica that predated the arrival of the Spanish. They did not have Spanish blood. However, after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, there was intermixing and assimilation between indigenous peoples and the Spanish colonizers, resulting in the mestizo population that exists today in Mexico.
The Aztec's report likely focused on their perspective and the impact of Cortez's arrival on their society. It may have emphasized their experiences and reactions to the Spanish conquest. Cortez's speech, on the other hand, probably emphasized his objectives, justifications for his actions, and achievements in the conquest of the Aztecs.
An example of assimilation for the Aztecs was when they incorporated the culture, traditions, and gods of the peoples they conquered into their own society. This helped to create a sense of unity and legitimacy among the diverse groups within the Aztec empire.
Malinche's ability to translate was valuable to the Spaniards because it allowed them to communicate with the indigenous populations in Mesoamerica, enabling them to negotiate alliances, gather information, and ultimately conquer various indigenous groups. Her knowledge of local languages and cultures was instrumental in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire.
The Aztec word for gold is teocuitlatl, which means "excrement of the gods."
Assuming this question is asking about about trading items before the arrival of the Spaniards (or Cortes):The Aztec people did not have guns before the arrival of the Spaniards. Once the Spaniards arrived, the Aztecs traded their goods (gold, food, etc.) with the Spanish people for guns and gun powder.
YES! I just took a test on this!!
Cortes' arrival coincided with an important Aztec prophecy. They believed that he could be the god Quetzalcoatl, who created humanity. The Aztecs were also taken with the light skin of the Spaniards.

The Aztec were very accepting of the Spanish explorers initially. They believed to have received omens nine years prior to the arrival of the Spanish and expected them to be their protectors.
The Spaniards main town in Mexico was Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire. The Spaniards led by Hernan Cortes conquered Tenochtitlan in 1521, leading to the fall of the Aztec Empire.
