Chapter 147: Would I let Itachi eat unripe melons?
Arriving at a teahouse, he went to a private room alone.
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye looked at the seeds in his hand.
Besides the seawater rice seeds researched by Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi had researched a total of five types of fruits.
They were all very common fruits.
Apples, oranges, tangerines, watermelons, and pears.
These seeds had been improved, so the fruits they produced were large, sweet enough, and had plenty of moisture.
In the relatively barren world of the ninja world, these fruits could completely serve as high-end luxury goods to be supplied to those nobles.
The price could be sold for a bit more.
Later, he could also produce some fruits with more affordable prices suitable for commoners.
However.
It was almost November, and the weather had turned cold; if he wanted to plant them, he would have to wait until next year.
The seawater rice seeds, needless to say, were naturally for supply to the Land of Water and the Land of Wind.
Both countries had very long coastlines, and they were relatively lacking in food.
If these seeds were promoted, they would definitely sell for a large sum of money.
Although it couldn't be compared to the high value of office buildings or beauty and skincare products, it was still a good, steady source of income.
"Hmm, let's find someone to promote them first."
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye searched for candidates in his mind and quickly selected a very suitable person.
The Land of Fire was located in the center of the ninja world, with changing seasons and fertile soil.
Now that winter was approaching, it was not suitable for large-scale farming.
Therefore, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye could only choose places with more suitable climates.
For example, the Land of Lightning.
…………
"My good brother, how do Itachi have time to come over?"
The Third Raikage opened his arms and hugged Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye.
This enthusiasm didn't care at all that it was just a Wood Clone.
Because the Third Raikage also knew that Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye would not easily leave the Senju compound, let alone travel thousands of miles to the Land of Lightning.
Now the Third Raikage was no longer the Raikage; he had passed the position of Raikage to his son, and his son had also inherited the name "A" from him.
Starting from the First Raikage, the Raikage’s own name would be abandoned, and the name "A" would be used instead.
Entering retirement, the Third Raikage did nothing but practice, drink, and eat meat every day; his life was very comfortable.
And with him sitting in the background, some opponents in the Hidden Cloud Village dared not be too blatant.
The Fourth Raikage’s succession was very smooth.
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye hugged the Third Raikage back and said with a smile.
"I haven't congratulated your son on becoming the Fourth Raikage yet; as your good brother, I have to send a big gift."
"I don't have much else here, but I have plenty of houses."
"Itachi can pick and choose whatever Itachi want."
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye placed a stack of property deeds directly in front of the Third Raikage, letting him choose.
In fact, he had no intention of taking these property deeds back once he brought them out.
He didn't even know how much his assets were now; it could be said that saying he made a fortune every day was underestimating Boss Jiao’s ability to make money.
Giving away these ten or so villas was of no consequence to him at all.
As long as he wanted, he could just clap his hands and have whatever he wanted.
"Ahahaha, then I won't be polite, brother."
The Third Raikage was not ambiguous either; he knew that these things meant nothing to his brother.
But these houses that could increase the speed of chakra condensation were indeed very popular.
Especially the more luxurious the house, the better the effect.
The value of these villas was very high.
Whether for his own residence or to use them to win over confidants, there would always be a use for them.
"Come, come, come, it's rare for Itachi to come here; today we won't stop until we're drunk!"
The Third Raikage hadn't seen Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye for a long time, and his interest was very high; he pulled Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye and wanted to drink all night.
But Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye had things to do when he came.
"Wait a minute, let me show Itachi something good, then we can drink."
Hearing that there was something good, the Third Raikage was no longer in a hurry, only full of curiosity.
"What good thing could make Itachi come here personally to deliver it?"
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye smiled and said.
"Just some little gadgets, made in my spare time, just to enjoy life."
The Third Raikage was even more curious.
"Don't keep me in suspense, hurry up and take it out for me to see."
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye looked at the Third Raikage’s courtyard and shook his head, saying.
"It's too small here; find a bigger open space."
The Third Raikage looked at his 500-square-meter courtyard and thought to himself, this is still small? Brother, how big is the thing Itachi are going to take out!
However, since his brother mentioned it, the Third Raikage naturally patted his chest and complied.
He immediately took Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye to an open space near his home.
This looked like a piece of farmland, but it was currently fallow, so nothing was planted.
"Brother, is this okay?"
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye nodded, then took out a seed.
The Third Raikage looked at it and was immediately puzzled.
"A seed? What kind of seed is this?"
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye smiled and said.
"Itachi'll know in a moment."
He channeled his chakra, and the power of Wood Release merged into the seed.
Then he threw this seed, which contained a large amount of Wood Release power, into the ground.
Immediately after, the seed began to sprout and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The tiny vines became thicker and thicker, and their number began to increase.
They spread in all directions, quickly occupying one acre of land, and then another.
It expanded to a hundred acres before finally stopping.
But it wasn't over yet.
Immediately after, flowers began to bloom and bear fruit all over the vines.
Soon, huge watermelons appeared.
The watermelon stripes were clear, smooth, and shiny; one look and Itachi could tell they were good melons.
And each one was full-sized, with none weighing less than 30 catties!
"This—"
The Third Raikage stood in the vines in surprise, not expecting a tiny seed to turn into a whole field of melons in the blink of an eye!
These watermelons numbered at least tens of thousands!
He picked up a watermelon and weighed it.
It felt heavy in his hand, full of weight.
The Third Raikage turned to look at Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, still somewhat in disbelief.
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye said with a smile.
"Don't worry, this melon is ripe; would I let Itachi eat unripe melons?"
The Third Raikage then used a hand blade to split the watermelon in his hand.
The watermelon split into two halves, and a fresh fragrance immediately entered his nose, tickling the Third Raikage’s nose.
Gulp—
Swallowing hard, the Third Raikage couldn't wait to eat it in big bites.
As soon as the melon meat entered his mouth, the Third Raikage’s eyes lit up.
"Delicious! I've never eaten such a sweet, juicy watermelon!"
"It's really too delicious!"
Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye said with a smile.
"How about it? Delicious, right?"
"I plan to sell Itachi some seeds, and then Itachi can plant them and sell them at a high price to those nobles; they will definitely be willing to buy them."
Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage’s eyes flashed with light.
"As expected of my good brother, Itachi don't forget your brother when making money!"
