Chapter 171

The Mist envoy clenched his fists; although he was mentally prepared, when he really heard it, the sense of humiliation in his heart still made him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Enduring the surging emotions in his heart, the Mist envoy said as calmly as possible.

"I wonder which islands the Senju clan head has taken a fancy to?"

"Forgive me for being blunt, but if the Senju clan head wants too many, I cannot make the decision."

Senju Xingye said with a smile.

"Not many, not many, just these few."

Senju Xingye casually drew circles on a few islands on the map.

The Mist envoy leaned over to look, and was suddenly overjoyed.

Although the Land of Water didn't have the time and energy to develop these uninhabited islands, basic reconnaissance work had been done.

The few uninhabited islands Senju Xingye chose happened to have been investigated, and there weren't many resources at all!

The Mist envoy hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to lean in to look closely, not wanting Senju Xingye to see the look of wild joy in his eyes.

If Senju Xingye discovered it and turned to circle the islands next to them, the Mist envoy wouldn't know where to go to cry.

After all, the surrounding islands had many rich resources.

After quickly adjusting his mentality, the Mist envoy pretended to be in a difficult position and said.

"Senju clan head, are these a bit too many?"

"Can we reduce it by two?"

"Like these two?"

The Mist envoy deliberately pointed to two smaller islands, his mind spinning rapidly.

This was intentional by the Mist envoy.

He deliberately didn't pick those large islands, but picked those small ones, just because he felt that Senju Xingye circling these uninhabited islands was actually to watch his reaction to judge the value of these islands.

Now that he deliberately picked the small ones and ignored the large ones, it might make Senju Xingye pay more attention to these small ones, thereby giving him a certain amount of initiative.

Sure enough.

Senju Xingye said dissatisfiedly.

"Is even just these few small islands not okay?"

"Otherwise, let's just forget it!"

The Mist envoy hurriedly said with a smile.

"How about this, my lord, you pick other islands; these two islands are really a bit difficult."

Senju Xingye said arrogantly.

"These two islands must be included; the other islands can be reduced by two."

Fell for it!

The Mist envoy was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was full of sorrow.

Even an Oscar-winning actor would have to kneel on the ground and offer his little golden man with both hands.

The acting was simply superb!

Fearing that Senju Xingye would change his mind again, the Mist envoy pointed to two larger islands with a reluctant face and said.

"Since the Senju clan head insists, then please cancel these two islands."

"Sigh... how will I explain to Mizukage-sama after going back..."

The Mist envoy looked miserable.

But he was overjoyed in his heart.

Senju Xingye looked at the Mist envoy, and also smiled in his heart.

"This guy thinks he can trick me?"

"I don't know who will have the last laugh when the time comes."

Since he wanted to take someone else's territory, how could Senju Xingye not have investigated beforehand.

Knowing that Konoha was the victorious side, Senju Xingye had naturally already investigated clearly what good things were hidden in these three countries.

The land ceded by the Sand Village and Rock Village had their own unique specialties, like minerals and the like.

And these uninhabited islands of the Mist Village hid even more treasures.

The superficial investigation by the Mist Village didn't discover the treasures hidden inside these uninhabited islands at all.

And Senju Xingye, through Wood Release, investigated deeply and soon discovered the wealth hidden within these uninhabited islands.

That is chakra-conducting metal!

This is a rare metal that can enhance the power of ninjutsu!

Now Senju Xingye has discovered it on these uninhabited islands!

As long as these chakra-conducting metal deposits are mined, it will also be a large sum of wealth.

Although it can't compare to the value of Senju Real Estate and Senju Bank, it is not wealth that can be ignored.

And these deposits are on the small uninhabited islands that Senju Xingye casually circled.

Those large uninhabited islands were all drawn by Senju Xingye to distract attention.

When the Mist envoy proposed that those two small islands couldn't be sold, Senju Xingye thought the deposits here had already been discovered by the Mist Village.

As a result, looking at it now, it was just the Mist envoy stumbling upon it by accident.

Since that's the case, Senju Xingye just went along with the plan; anyway, there were no resources worth caring about on those large islands.

Just need to master these small uninhabited islands first.

When the time comes, send people there to mine the chakra-conducting metal to arm his own people.

It just so happens that his twelfth child, Senju Wangyue, is a swordsmith, and these chakra-conducting metals in his hands should be able to exert even greater effects.

The Mist envoy was miserable, but overjoyed in his heart.

Using a few unwanted uninhabited islands to get Senju to build bridges, he had really taken a big advantage!

Senju Xingye also kept a straight face, but in his heart, he was wantonly mocking the Mist envoy's short-sightedness.

Seeing that the transaction had ended.

Senju Tsunade tapped the table and said.

"Since the matter is finished, everyone should go back."

"I still have things to deal with, so my husband will entertain the envoys."
