Chapter 196

Senju Xingye was used to dealing with people like this.

Senju Xingye didn't want to deal with those old schemers who would have eight hundred thoughts the moment they looked at you.

It was mentally exhausting.

It was much more convenient to talk to someone like Yagura Karatachi who couldn't hide his thoughts.

There was no need to worry about the other party having all sorts of schemes and tricks.

Doing business with such a person was easy and pleasant.

Of course, it was easy and pleasant for Senju Xingye.

Senju Xingye didn't care how the other party felt.

He wasn't their parent, so why bother with so much?

Senju Xingye came to the shore.

Clap.

Wood Release...

Rumble...

The ground began to tremble.

The momentum was massive.

Subsequently, a thick vine emerged from the ground and, following Senju Xingye's will, shot straight toward the island directly ahead.

Soon, the vine crossed the distance of several kilometers and landed on the island.

That wasn't the end of it.

The vine gradually deformed, forming a passage wide enough for several people to walk side by side, with handrails at adult chest height on both sides to prevent anyone from falling into the sea.

Senju Xingye was actually this thoughtful.

He really is, I'm crying!

"Done."

Job finished, Senju Xingye looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

An overall emerald-green arched bridge, with a sturdy wooden pillar supporting the bridge body every two hundred meters, capable of bearing the weight of tens of thousands of people at once.

Yagura Karatachi opened his mouth in shock, unable to believe everything he was seeing.

This was too exaggerated!

To have built such a large bridge in an instant?

Wood Release is just too damn convenient!

For a moment, Yagura Karatachi's heart was filled with envy and jealousy.

At this moment, an open hand appeared before his eyes.

"You're welcome, fifty million for one bridge."

Hm?

Yagura Karatachi tilted his head, his face full of question marks.

"You didn't seem to say you were going to charge money before, did you?"

Senju Xingye turned his head, looking at Boss Kakuzu with a puzzled expression.

"I didn't?"

Boss Kakuzu shook his head and said.

"You indeed did not."

Yagura Karatachi couldn't help but show a smile to the truth-telling Boss Kakuzu.

It was just that the smile was too forced, making it look very ugly.

"Doesn't matter, you heard it now anyway."

Senju Xingye turned his head back, continuing to ask for money with a calm face.

"Do you want this bridge or not?"

"If not, I'm taking it back."

Yagura Karatachi looked at Senju Xingye's detestable face and really wanted to say, take it back if you want!

But looking at this bridge, he also knew what the various conveniences this bridge could bring meant.

It meant that trade between the islands would become more convenient, and it also meant that the economy of Kirigakure and even the Land of Water could rapidly improve.

This was definitely something that would benefit the entire Land of Water.

If he refused it because of his momentary feelings, he might become a sinner of Kirigakure for all eternity!

Even though Yagura Karatachi was very impulsive, he could only endure this.

"Fine!"

This word was practically spat out from between Yagura Karatachi's teeth.

Senju Xingye ignored Yagura Karatachi's murderous glare and nodded with satisfaction.

"That's good."

"I'll build another bridge, and that will offset the money for the land purchase."

Saying this, Senju Xingye nimbly built another bridge to another island.

This time the bridge's design was different; it was actually a triangular structure overall.

The bridge body was very stable, and the support underneath was sufficient; unless a ninja of Jonin level maliciously destroyed it, there was no need to worry about safety issues.

"Wait!"

Yagura Karatachi was full of anger.

"How can you make decisions on your own?"

"I haven't said when the second bridge should be built yet!"

He was still waiting to use the money from selling the land to give to the families of the fallen ninja.

As a result, Senju Xingye doing this had wiped out all the money.

Then what was the point of him selling the land?

Senju Xingye spread his hands, like a rascal.

"I don't care about that; the two accounts are settled now anyway."

"Your village still owes us a total of 4.2 billion; please pay it back within three years."

"Kakuzu, I'll leave things here to you; I'm going to go receive my islands."

Senju Xingye emphasized the word 'my', looking at Yagura Karatachi's ink-black baby face with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, his face full of joyful laughter.

"Leave it to me, Boss."

Boss Kakuzu dutifully took out his abacus and blocked Yagura Karatachi and the others.

Senju Xingye headed toward the islands that belonged to him.

He wanted to check the mineral reserves of those islands and, by the way, open a convenient passage down.

That way, it would be more convenient to bring workers over to mine later.

Arriving on the island.

Senju Xingye clapped his hands together.

He directly used Wood Release to dig a hole at the edge of the island.

Inside the deep and dark cave was a large amount of unmined chakra-conducting metal.

If these metals were mined and processed, it would be another huge fortune. ===== CHAPTER 200 =====
