Chapter 184

Dust swirled, and yellow sand filled the sky.

After a long journey, they arrived at the Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Wind.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, who had received the news in advance, personally brought people to welcome them.

Upon seeing Senju Xingye, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Welcome, Clan Leader Senju, to our village. As the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village, I will definitely make our distinguished guest feel the warmth of home."

Senju Xingye looked at the hypocritical smile of the Kazekage Rasa in front of him, and a hypocritical smile also appeared on his face.

"Lord Kazekage coming to welcome me personally really makes me feel flattered."

"Long admired, long admired."

"You are too polite, too polite."

Rasa led Senju Xingye's Wood Clone and Boss Kakuzu's Shadow Clone to the reception room of the Kazekage Building.

After taking off his Kazekage hat, Rasa said with a fake smile.

"With a distinguished guest arriving, I should have held a banquet, but having just experienced a war, the Hidden Sand Village has not yet recovered."

"So I can only treat you to some simple meals, please don't be offended, Clan Leader Senju."

As he spoke, Rasa clapped his hands, and soon girls with veils brought trays to the table.

"Lord Kazekage is too polite."

Senju Xingye said with a smile, his eyes glancing at the dishes on the tray.

Just one look, and Senju Xingye had no appetite.

Coarse-looking steamed buns, vegetable soup that was as thin as water, a few stir-fried green beans...

For Senju Xingye, who was used to delicacies, this couldn't even be called a meal.

And Rasa's intention was very clear.

It was to play the victim.

To win sympathy.

Senju Xingye said with a smile.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Lord Kazekage, but I have important matters to attend to this time."

"So let us start with these important matters first."

"After we finish, I will take the initiative to invite Lord Kazekage to have a big meal in our Leaf Village."

Stingy!

Rasa cursed inwardly.

In the current situation, could he leave the Hidden Sand Village and run to the Leaf Village to enjoy himself?

If the grassroots people found out, they might just overthrow him!

Senju Xingye knew this, yet he still invited him to the Leaf Village!

He was simply harboring evil intentions!

Of course, on the surface, Rasa still wore the hypocritical smile he had practiced for a long time.

"Forget about the treat; I am busy with official duties and really cannot get away."

"Since Clan Leader Senju has spoken, let's begin."

"But, sigh..."

Rasa sighed deeply, the fake smile on his face gone, replaced by a look of distress.

"To be honest, ever since I heard the news brought back by Baki, I haven't been able to eat or sleep."

"Two billion is simply too much."

"The current Hidden Sand Village simply cannot afford such a large compensation."

Senju Xingye struck a classic Gendo Ikari pose, bringing strong pressure to Rasa.

"Since that is the case, what does Lord Kazekage intend to do?"

"If the money is not enough, my Senju Bank can offer to help."

Rasa's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

Senju Xingye glanced at Boss Kakuzu beside him.

Boss Kakuzu understood and took out his abacus, calculating with a clatter, and arrived at the same result as in the Hidden Stone Village.

Upon hearing the high interest, Rasa couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

This is open robbery, right?

Even loan sharks aren't as scary as you!

Because if I can't pay back a loan shark, I can still fight them, but I really can't beat you!

Rasa calculated secretly in his heart.

If it's thirty percent interest, he would have to pay back more than 3.8 billion in three years!

It almost doubled!

This is too exaggerated!

Even robbing money isn't this fast!

"Of course, if Lord Rasa really can't pay it back, I have another plan here."

Rasa immediately asked.

"Please speak, Clan Leader Senju; if it is something I can do, I will definitely not refuse."

Senju Xingye smiled and casually took out a map that recorded the terrain of the Valley of Wind in detail, making Rasa's eyelids twitch.

But Rasa's reaction was much calmer than Onoki's.

After all, most of the Land of Wind is desert, and the terrain changes easily.

So the map in Senju Xingye's hand didn't have high timeliness.

Maybe a sandstorm would come tonight, and the terrain would change.

After taking out the map, Senju Xingye casually drew circles on several locations near the Leaf Village.

"If Lord Kazekage doesn't want to borrow money, you can sell these lands to my bank, and my bank will pay the two billion compensation on your behalf."

Rasa stared closely at the map, trying hard to recall if there was anything worth noting about these places.

But after thinking for a long time, Rasa couldn't think of anything.
