Chapter 1: Revitalizing the Senju! Starting with taking a wife and having children!

Land of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village.

Senju of the Forest compound.

This is the founding clan of the Hidden Leaf Village, once possessing the highest prestige.

The First Hokage and Second Hokage were both patriarchs of the Senju clan; however, by the time of the Third Hokage, a generational gap in talent led to Hiruzen Sarutobi taking over the position. The Senju of the Forest, once at the height of their prosperity, later declined due to various reasons.

Senju clansmen who went to the battlefield basically never returned.

And many branch family Senju clansmen actually foolishly listened to the so-called "Integrate into the Leaf" plan, abandoning their own surname.

Until now.

Only two people remain in the Senju clan.

The granddaughter of the First Hokage, disciple of the Third Hokage—Tsunade Senju!

The only remaining male, who inherited the power of Wood Release—Senju Xingye!

"Grandpa Tobirama really did teach two good disciples."

"One is Hiruzen Sarutobi, the other is Danzo Shimura; when it comes to screwing over the Senju clan, they don't show any mercy at all."

"Luckily, I'm quite cautious; I'd rather die than accept a mission to leave the village, otherwise the grass on my grave would be three meters high by now."

"......."

Sitting in the courtyard where the sun is at its peak.

That is a youth of about ten years old, with a slender and upright figure, and a handsome, gentle face that exudes a calm, aristocratic temperament.

He is wearing a traditional Japanese coat bought at a high price, woven from special materials capable of resisting Grade C ninjutsu damage and weakening the power of Grade B ninjutsu, with the Senju clan crest engraved on the back. When it comes to self-preservation, Senju Xingye never slacks off.

After all.

There are two dog-like bastards, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.

Always watching you from the shadows; if you don't have a few more means of self-preservation, you wouldn't even know how you died.

Although Senju Xingye inherited the First Hokage's bloodline limit—Wood Release, due to mediocre talent, he only has the strength of an elite jonin so far.

Wanting to be like Grandpa Hashirama, summoning a giant Buddha with a single clap of his hands?

Better wash up and go to sleep early.

However.

Strength has its uses.

Weakness has its uses.

Senju Xingye has fully utilized the advantages of Wood Release for landscaping and real estate development.

Over 90% of the real estate in the Hidden Leaf Village is now property of the Senju clan. The construction efficiency is top-notch, the quality is rock-solid, warm in winter and cool in summer, allowing you to experience the breath of nature, and there is even a faint effect of increasing chakra extraction.

No matter which world you are in, real estate is a profiteering industry.

One bedroom, one living room, one bathroom.

A small wooden house covering thirty square meters.

Ordinary property sells for 200,000 ryo.

Senju property sells for 1,000,000 ryo.

If you cannot pay in full at once, Senju Bank can also provide you with a thirty-year ninja installment loan service. With only a 'low interest' of 5% per year, you can move into a Senju property house in advance. Different ninja ranks can also borrow different amounts.

Genin can borrow 100,000 ryo.

Chunin can borrow 1,000,000 ryo.

Jonin can borrow 10,000,000 ryo.

As for those with Kage-level strength, they can borrow up to 100,000,000 ryo.

Of course, these loans can currently only be spent on Senju property, and only Leaf ninjas can take out loans. Senju Xingye is afraid that loans to other ninja villages won't be collected, and he doesn't do business that loses money.

And given that being a ninja is a high-risk profession, if a ninja accidentally dies on the battlefield before paying off the loan.

Then their pension will be directly mortgaged.

The Senju property that is half-paid off will also be liquidated and deducted.

Anyway, no matter how it goes, Senju Xingye will not lose out. As a farmer who is proficient in harvesting suckers, he will not let himself suffer losses.

And now, the total value of the Senju property and Senju Bank in his hands has reached hundreds of billions of ryo. Let alone a small Leaf Village, even the vast Land of Fire is far inferior. It is no exaggeration to say that he is wealthier than a nation.

As for paying taxes?

There are only two people left in our Senju of the Forest.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, you old monkey, do you have the nerve to make us pay taxes?

"Crack—"

Senju Xingye took a bite of a bright red apple.

Enjoying a leisurely afternoon life.

The killing and fighting of ninjas.

Have nothing to do with him.

Regardless of the Second Shinobi World War, or the now-imminent Third Shinobi World War.

He doesn't want to get too involved, and doesn't even want to step half a step out of the Leaf Village. After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura have been coveting his industry and the Senju clan's legacy for a long time, and Senju Xingye doesn't want to give them this opportunity.

Laying low, only by laying low is the true path!

"However."

"Compared to the prosperous period of the Senju of the Forest when I was a child."

"The Senju clan today is really too desolate; it always feels like something is missing."

"........"

Looking at the empty Senju of the Forest compound.

Senju Xingye couldn't help but sigh, looking a bit melancholy.

Due to the constant escalation of friction from the war, Tsunade has also been away from home all day and night recently, executing missions, leaving him all alone.

As the only male descendant of the Senju clan.

The task of revitalizing the Senju of the Forest is indeed a long and arduous one.

Wealth that rivals a nation, strength that suppresses the five nations—none of these count as the revitalization of the Senju clan.

Population!

This is what the Senju urgently needs right now.

Setting aside the Senju clansmen who died on the battlefield, Senju Xingye naturally removed the names of those guys who changed their Senju surname and integrated into the Leaf Village directly from the Senju of the Forest genealogy. It's easy to leave, but hard to come back.

And now that he is of age, it is time to consider taking a wife, having children, spreading his branches and leaves, and fulfilling the task of revitalizing the Senju of the Forest.

"Decided!"

"Isn't it just a lack of population?"

"I'll just find a wife and have children!"

"........"

Senju Xingye slapped his thigh, instantly figuring out the key to the problem.

He didn't have this opportunity in his previous life, but now that he has become the patriarch of the Senju of the Forest and sits on assets of hundreds of billions of ryo, why shouldn't he enjoy himself?

Meanwhile.
