Chapter 15: The Third Hokage with a Bleeding Heart! The Evil Senju Property!

"The Hokage is joking."

"But I don't have the guts to joke with you. The Senju industry is indeed a bit tight on funds recently."

"How about this."

"The 10 billion ryo previously loaned to the Leaf will be increased to 4% interest."

"I hope the Hokage can forgive me. If it really doesn't work, returning these loans now is also fine, so that the pain of paying back the loan is avoided."

"......."

Looking at the submissive Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Senju Xingye didn't intend to let him go so easily.

Coveting his eldest daughter so quickly and wanting to have a political marriage.

It's nothing more than intending to use this relationship to quietly annex the Senju industry in the future and incorporate it all into the Sarutobi family to let their family rise.

Regarding this.

Senju Xingye didn't spoil him either.

He directly increased the interest on his loan on the spot; who told him to be the father of the lender.

Due to the atmosphere of war, it became more and more intense.

The five great ninja villages are all in the preparation period, and the Hidden Leaf Village is no exception.

However.

Relying solely on taxes and mission rewards.

It is still a bit tight.

Because the Hidden Leaf Village is located in the most prosperous area, it must be the most likely to be besieged by the other four great ninja villages.

And with Sakumo Hatake forced to his death by public opinion and Tsunade Senju pregnant, the Leaf has now directly lost two Kage-level experts, and its high-end combat power has dropped a notch.

Therefore.

Under the circumstances of having no choice.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had to go to Senju Bank for a loan, using the Hokage's name as a guarantee, saying that he would definitely pay it back after the war.

Of course, for the sake of caution, Senju Xingye also used all the land deeds and property of the Sarutobi family as collateral, and only then did he lend this sum of money.

Once the money cannot be paid back.

The Sarutobi family will instantly become penniless.

Directly falling into an ultra-poor family.

"No no no, this—"

"A mere 4% interest loan for one year, I assume the Hokage won't mind, right?"

With a 'kind' smile on his face.

Senju Xingye said with a smile.

He knows.

If there is no external interference.

This Shinobi World War will last for three full years, plus Hiruzen Sarutobi borrowed money one year in advance to prepare for war, which means he needs to calculate four years of interest.

Loan of 10 billion ryo.

Four years is 16% interest.
