Chapter 193: Quality comes with a price!

~4 min read 728 words

"Hm? Do you want to eat this?"

Genshi looked at Yagura Karatachi with a puzzled expression.

First release group number 763480157

"It just so happens I can't finish this bowl either."

Bang!

Yagura Karatachi snatched the Ichiraku Ramen from Genshi's hands, slammed it down heavily on the table, and said with a stern face.

"We can barely afford to pay the pensions for our fallen ninja now."

"And yet, you actually spent over ten thousand ryo on such an outrageous bowl of noodles?"

"If you wanted to eat ramen, couldn't you have just bought one from a roadside stall?"

Genshi said, feeling a bit aggrieved.

"But I wanted to try it."

"I've always heard how delicious the luxury Ichiraku Ramen from Konoha Village is."

"Now that things have finally calmed down, I was only just able to order a bowl to taste."

"Otherwise, during wartime, the shipping fee alone would be ten thousand ryo."

Yagura Karatachi said irritably.

"Then how much is the shipping fee now?"

"Two thousand ryo."

A ten-thousand-ryo bowl of ramen...

Yagura Karatachi took deep breaths, terrified that he might lose his breath and pass out right there.

This price was simply too absurd!

Did this ramen have gold mixed into it? Why sell it so expensively!

This one bowl of noodles was enough to cover a family of three's expenses for over a month!

"Genshi, from now on, you are not allowed to buy takeout!"

"Especially takeout from Konoha Village!"

Yagura Karatachi warned solemnly.

Genshi nodded pitifully, his longing eyes fixed on the ramen.

"Yagura, it won't taste good if the noodles get soggy."

"Let me have a bite first, we can talk about the rest later."

Who was it that said a Kage shouldn't be impatient?

To think that you, a former acting Mizukage, could even say that!

Look at yourself right now!

Being so extravagant and wasteful!

Don't you see that some families are barely able to put food on the table?

It's truly detestable!

Yagura Karatachi cursed inwardly, berating the Senju takeout service thoroughly.

But since things had reached this point, he could only sigh and tell Genshi to eat slowly.

Then, driven by curiosity, Yagura Karatachi also ate half a bowl.

He had to admit, the taste was truly incomparable to roadside ramen.

It was simply too delicious.

But Yagura Karatachi still felt that ten thousand per bowl was too expensive.

Perhaps only those wealthy folks in Konoha could afford to consume it.

After finishing the noodles, Genshi went off to rest.

Yagura Karatachi planned to head to the Mizukage's office to continue working.

Then, on the way, he saw the envoy sent to Konoha, Mangetsu Hozuki.

He was also one of the current Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the wielder of the twin blades Hiramekarei.

Beside Mangetsu Hozuki was a handsome, dashing man with a slender build.

"This person is so handsome! He's actually even more handsome than me!"

Yagura Karatachi was secretly surprised, and then he saw a masked man as well.

Yagura Karatachi recognized this person.

It was Boss Kakuzu of Senju Real Estate!

Then the identity of this handsome man must be the current Senju Clan Head, Senju Xingye, right?

Yagura Karatachi saw Senju Xingye and the others, and naturally, Senju Xingye saw Yagura Karatachi as well.

Mangetsu Hozuki's expression turned ugly.

The two parties met in the middle of the street.

Mangetsu Hozuki immediately introduced the two parties.

"Lord Mizukage, this is the Clan Head of Konoha's Senju of the Forest, Lord Senju Xingye."

"And this is the owner of Senju Real Estate, Mr. Kakuzu."

"Greetings, Lord Mizukage. I didn't expect the Mizukage to be so young."

Senju Xingye said with a smile.

Yagura Karatachi nodded and said.

"I know of you both, and I feel very honored to be able to meet you here."

"This is not the place to talk; why don't you two follow me to the conference room to sit for a while?"

"No problem."

Senju Xingye replied.

So Yagura Karatachi led the way, entering a relatively spacious conference room in the Mizukage Building.

Closing the door, only four people remained in the room.

Yagura Karatachi got straight to the point.

"Clan Head Senju coming here in person, I presume it is regarding the peace agreement?"

"I wonder what kind of price we need to pay?" ===== CHAPTER 197 =====
