Chapter 91

This is Boss Jiao's keen sense of smell for money.

"Boss, do Itachi need me to follow?"

Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju said with a smile.

"Of course, Itachi need to participate in this matter throughout, but Itachi only need to go to keep accounts, just send a few Shadow Clones to follow."

"If anyone has an opinion, we'll talk about it then."

Boss Jiao looked up and felt that his Boss's smile was full of danger.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.

Looking forward to some blind guy blowing him or Senju Senju Senju Xingye Senju's Wood Clone up.

In that case, they would have enough reason to fight.

And that guy wouldn't get help from other ninja villages.

When the time comes, they will definitely be able to plunder more wealth!

Thinking of this, Boss Jiao even wanted to go and touch porcelain.

But for the sake of safety, Boss Jiao didn't dare to act too actively.

Fearing that it would disrupt his Boss's plan.

"Sigh, so busy..."

Tsuchikage Onoki hammered his back, feeling like he was living in agony.

There was too much post-war recovery work, and there were too many things he needed to deal with.

Sitting for a whole day, he felt like his waist was about to disappear.

But as Tsuchikage, he couldn't leave at will.

"I really envy that old lecher Hiruzen Sarutobi; with Senju Bank, I'm afraid he doesn't worry about money at all."

"I'm almost driven crazy by the pension problem."

"I don't know how much money I can squeeze back from that old lecher?"

"I hope it can make up for the loss."

The Tsuchikage, Onoki, could never have imagined it.

The envoy he sent to squeeze money out of Konoha would actually bring back a sky-high compensation demand!

Except it wasn't Konoha paying them; it was they who had to pay Konoha.

If he knew, he would probably explode on the spot and spiral into the sky!

But he didn't know this fact yet.

He was still waiting for the envoy's return, full of anticipation.

At this moment.

His son, the honest-looking Kitsuchi, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Father, the envoy we sent out has returned."

Onoki’s eyes lit up.

"Finally back!"

"Quick, bring him here!"

However, Kitsuchi looked hesitant and did not move immediately.

Onoki looked at his son in confusion.

"What’s wrong? Didn't Itachi hear me?"

"Go and bring him here!"

Kitsuchi said hesitantly.

"But it’s not just him who came back; Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye is here too..."

"What?!"

Upon hearing the name Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, Onoki’s eyes widened, and he cut Kitsuchi off.

"Itachi said Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye is here? Where is he?! Contact the Mist Mist Anbu Black Ops for me!"

Kitsuchi quickly said.

"No, it is Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye who came, but it’s also not Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye."

Onoki frowned deeply and scolded his son.

"What do Itachi mean by that? Are Itachi speaking in riddles?"

"Speak clearly!"

Kitsuchi immediately shrank his head and said.

"The one who came is Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s Wood Clone."

"Wood Clone?"

Onoki frowned and muttered to himself.

"What is Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye trying to do by sending a Wood Clone?"

Kitsuchi shook his head repeatedly, indicating he didn't know.

Onoki glanced at his son with disdain.

He thought for a moment and said.

"Bring him to the conference room; I’ll be there in a moment."

"Yes."

Kitsuchi hurried out, fearing he might anger his father further.

Onoki frowned in deep thought.

"What is the meaning of Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye coming here?"

"And why only send a Wood Clone?"

"Is he planning to use Deep Forest Emergence in the Hidden Stone Village?"

"No, if that were the case, he should have used it as soon as he entered the village."

"Then what is his purpose?"

"Forget it, thinking about it is useless; I'll know once I see him."

Onoki had an ominous feeling in his heart.

But he couldn't figure out why.

Now, he had no choice but to meet the culprit who had interfered with his plan to finish off the Third Raikage.

Arriving at the conference room.

As soon as he entered, Onoki saw the envoy he had sent to Konoha sitting to the side with his head hanging low.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye and a masked man were sitting opposite him.

Onoki recognized the masked man; he was the owner of Senju Real Estate, known as Boss Jiao.

Thinking of this, Onoki couldn't help but glare at Kitsuchi.

Kitsuchi knew he had forgotten to mention Boss Jiao, so he lowered his head in panic, not daring to meet his father's eyes.

Onoki floated into the conference room and, seeing Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, immediately revealed a meaningful smile.

"To think the Clan Head of Senju would grace us with his presence. May I ask what brings Itachi here, Clan Head Senju?"

Onoki didn't beat around the bush and asked directly about Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s intentions.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye smiled and said.

"For my intentions, Itachi should ask your village's envoy."

Hearing Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s words, the Hidden Stone envoy hung his head so low it was almost buried under the table.

He cursed and complained in his heart.

The Tsuchikage asked Itachi, so just answer him honestly!

Why do Itachi have to drag me into this?!

"Hmm?"

Onoki frowned slightly and looked at the envoy he had sent.

"Wenya, what exactly is going on?"

"Did Itachi complete the task I entrusted to Itachi?"

With Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye, a Konoha ninja, present, Onoki did not ask directly about the money.

But the pressure Onoki exerted on the Hidden Stone envoy Wenya still made him keep his head bowed low.

"Raise your head! Your behavior is disgraceful!"

Onoki barked, causing Wenya to jump up in a start.

Then, Wenya bowed deeply, his head slamming heavily onto the table with a loud thud.

Bang!

"I am terribly sorry! Lord Tsuchikage! I have failed your trust! Please punish me!"

"But I did all of this for the sake of the Hidden Stone Village's future! I had absolutely no selfish motives!"

Onoki was a bit stunned.

What happened?

Why such a huge reaction?

And with a guest present, this is too embarrassing!

"Raise your head and explain yourself clearly!"

"Yes!"

Wenya lifted his head and quickly recounted the whole story.

After listening, Onoki was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell?

We have to pay twenty billion in compensation?!

Where would we get that much money?

And how dare Itachi agree to cede land?

Who gave Itachi the courage?

Was it that guy named Liang?

Onoki never imagined that the news brought back by his trusted subordinate would be so shocking.

He had been hoping Wenya would bring back compensation from Konoha to solve their current urgent crisis.

But what is this now?

Even a "super-doubler" isn't this ridiculous!

After finally coming to his senses, Onoki saw Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s smiling expression.

His face immediately fell.

"Clan Head Senju, this matter was not agreed upon by me, so it cannot count."

"We absolutely cannot come up with twenty billion."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s expression changed abruptly, and he said indifferently.

"In that case, never mind."

"I hope Itachi won't regret this later, Lord Tsuchikage."

Wenya quickly leaned into Onoki’s ear and whispered rapidly.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we cannot provoke the Senju right now; they have several Kage-level powerhouses!"

"If they attack us, we won't be able to hold them off!"

"And the other villages won't help us now either!"

Upon hearing this, Onoki’s face turned grim.

At the same time, he had to lament that Konoha has so much talent.

His Hidden Stone Village is, after all, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Yet in terms of the number of Kage-level ninjas, they are far behind Konoha.

Currently, the only ones in the Hidden Stone Village who could be called Kage-level are himself and the Five-Tails jinchuriki, Han.

Everyone else is just at the level of an elite jonin.

But look at Konoha?

The Legendary Sannin alone are three Kage-level powerhouses.

Then there’s Minato Namikaze, who stole the show on the battlefield, the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, and so on.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s Wood Clone alone has Kage-level strength.

Comparing them, the gap is truly ridiculous.

Finally, Onoki sighed helplessly and said.

"Sigh... We agree to sign a peace treaty, but twenty billion is simply too much."

"Our losses have also been heavy, and the pensions for the fallen ninjas haven't even been paid in full yet."

"If this money could be paid over a longer period..."

Slap!

Boss Jiao took out an abacus and started calculating with a clatter.

This action left Onoki completely bewildered.

What is he doing?
