Chapter 100: Itachi're welcome, fifty million per bridge

Seeing Yagura Karatachi agree to sign the contract, a smile appeared on Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju’s face.

"That’s more like it."

"Only by living in peace can we make a fortune."

After the signing was complete.

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju began discussing the purchase of land with Yagura Karatachi.

Yagura Karatachi couldn't resist the temptation of Senju Real Estate.

After some haggling, Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju purchased a plot of land for one hundred million to build Senju Real Estate.

At first, Yagura Karatachi thought, like Onoki and Rasa, that he had gotten the better end of the deal.

But when Yagura Karatachi heard how much Naruto was selling a single house for, he immediately knew the price was too low.

But there was nothing he could do.

Those who lose the initiative naturally pay a higher price.

Yagura Karatachi’s baby face was incredibly gloomy.

Yet he was helpless.

"Don't be so angry."

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju said cheerfully, completely oblivious to the fact that he had angered someone.

"I’ve already completed two of the three most important things I came here for."

"There is one last thing left."

"And that is building a bridge."

"I wonder if the Mizukage is interested in coming with me?"

"Let's go!"

Yagura Karatachi said through gritted teeth, his face dark.

If he could, Yagura Karatachi would have loved to kill Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju on the spot.

But doing so would be meaningless.

The person standing before him wasn't the real Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju, just a clone; killing it would be useless.

The group arrived at the edge of the island where the Hidden Mist Village was located.

An island could be seen ahead, about three kilometers away.

"How long does it take to build a bridge?"

"Can it be built in a few days?"

Yagura Karatachi asked with a blank expression.

"A few days?"

"The Mizukage underestimates me too much."

"But that’s understandable; the Mizukage probably hasn't seen me use Wood Release, so it’s no wonder."

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju didn't care about Yagura Karatachi’s attitude.

Compared to Onoki and Rasa, Yagura Karatachi, perhaps due to his age, wore his emotions on his face.

If he liked something, he liked it; if he hated it, he hated it.

It was very simple and straightforward.

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju was used to dealing with people like this.

He didn't want to deal with those old schemers who had eight hundred thoughts the moment they looked at Itachi.

It was mentally exhausting.

It was much more convenient to talk to someone like Yagura Karatachi who couldn't hide his thoughts.

There was no need to worry about the other party having all sorts of conspiracies.

Doing business with such a person was easy and pleasant.

Of course, it was easy and pleasant for Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju.

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju didn't care how the other party felt.

He wasn't their parent, so why bother with that?

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju walked to the shore.

*Snap.*

Wood Release...

*Rumble...*

The ground began to tremble.

It was a grand display.

Subsequently, a thick vine emerged from the ground and, following Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju’s will, shot straight toward the island ahead.

Soon, the vine spanned the several-kilometer distance and landed on the island.

That wasn't all.

The vine began to deform, forming a passage wide enough for several people to walk side-by-side, with railings at chest height to prevent anyone from falling into the sea.

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju was actually this thoughtful.

He really is, I could cry!

"Done."

Job finished, Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

It was an emerald-green arched bridge, with sturdy wooden pillars supporting the structure every two hundred meters, capable of bearing the weight of tens of thousands of people at once.

Yagura Karatachi’s jaw dropped in shock; he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

This was too exaggerated!

To build such a large bridge in an instant?

Wood Release is just too damn convenient!

For a moment, Yagura Karatachi was filled with envy and jealousy.

At that moment, an open hand appeared before him.

"Itachi're welcome, fifty million per bridge."

Huh?

Yagura Karatachi tilted his head, his face full of question marks.

"Itachi didn't seem to say Itachi were going to charge for it earlier, did Itachi?"

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju turned back, looking at Boss Kakuzu with a puzzled expression.

"I didn't?"

Boss Kakuzu shook his head and said.

"Itachi indeed did not."

Yagura Karatachi couldn't help but offer a smile to the honest Boss Kakuzu.

It was just a very forced smile, making it look quite ugly.

"Doesn't matter, Itachi heard it now anyway."

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju turned back, calmly continuing to reach out for money.

"Do Itachi want this bridge or not?"

"If Itachi don't, I’ll just take it back."

Yagura Karatachi looked at Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju’s detestable face, wanting to say, "Take it back if Itachi want!"

But looking at the bridge, he knew what kind of convenience it could bring.

It meant trade between the islands would become much easier, and it meant the economy of the Hidden Mist Village and the Land of Water could improve rapidly.

This was definitely something beneficial for the entire Land of Water.

If he refused it just because of his personal feelings, he might become a sinner of the Hidden Mist Village for all eternity!

Even though Yagura Karatachi was very impulsive, he had to endure this.

"Fine!"

The word was practically spat out from between Yagura Karatachi’s teeth.

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju ignored Yagura Karatachi’s murderous glare and nodded with satisfaction.

"That’s good."

"I’ll build another bridge, and that will offset the cost of the land purchase."

Saying this, Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju efficiently built another bridge to a different island.

This time, the bridge had a different design, with a triangular structure.

The bridge was very stable, and the supports underneath were sufficient; unless a Jonin-level ninja maliciously sabotaged it, there was no need to worry about safety.

"Wait!"

Yagura Karatachi was full of anger.

"How can Itachi make decisions on your own?"

"I haven't even said when the second bridge should be built!"

He was waiting to use the money from the land sale to pay the families of the fallen ninja.

But with Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju doing this, the money was gone.

Then what was the point of him selling the land?

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju spread his hands like a rogue.

"That’s not my concern; the two accounts are now settled."

"Your village still owes us a total of four point two billion; please repay it within three years."

"Kakuzu, I’ll leave things here to Itachi; I’m going to go receive my islands."

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju emphasized the word "my," looking at Yagura Karatachi’s ink-black baby face with a smile that was not quite a smile, his face full of pleasure.

"Leave it to me, Boss."

Boss Kakuzu dutifully took out his abacus and blocked Yagura Karatachi and his group.

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju headed toward the islands that belonged to him.

He wanted to check the mineral deposits on those islands and, by the way, open a convenient passage down.

That way, it would be easier to bring workers over for mining later.

Arriving on the island.

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju clapped his hands together.

He used Wood Release to drill a hole right at the edge of the island.

Inside the deep, dark cave was a large amount of unmined chakra-conducting metal.

If these metals were mined and processed, it would be another huge fortune.
