Chapter 220

"Brother Hashirama, is there any difficulty?"

Uchiha Gin pulled a chair familiarly, sat down boldly, and at the same time crossed his legs, glanced at the bright red numbers on the desk, and there was a trace of understanding in his narrowed dead-fish eyes.

From Senju Hashirama's undisguised difficult face, he had probably guessed what difficulties this brother who had just served as the village head had encountered.

"Ah, this..."

If the person who came was Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama might speak freely, cry and complain with snot and tears, and then cheat a sum of angel investment that would never be repaid. But the person who came was Uchiha Gin, which made him a little embarrassed to speak.

After all, Uchiha Gin was Toka's friend. If it weren't for the fact that his son's hair was very soft and his eyes were bright, he would have suspected what the motive was for the other party to give red envelopes during festivals.

"Big Brother, let me say it."

The village is the priority. You, Senju Hashirama, are embarrassed to offend people, but I, Senju Tobirama, don't care about these worldly affairs.

He then turned his head, looked at Uchiha Gin, who was sitting there calmly, and handed over the planned financial report. His scarlet eyes stayed on the other's fluffy curly hair for a moment before he continued to speak, his tone rarely not stiff.

"According to the preliminary plan, the prototype of the village's infrastructure has been basically completed. However, there are several important places that have encountered some problems and cannot be started smoothly..."

"Uh... let me see... no way, you guys don't even have the money to build the Hokage building?"

From Senju Tobirama's words, Uchiha Gin had already vaguely heard that something was wrong. After taking the financial report and looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Why did you add so many residential areas?"

Uchiha Gin pointed to the subsequent additions in the financial report, the residential areas with a huge number, and asked with a frown.

"Ugh... it's all Big Brother..."

Hearing Uchiha Gin ask a soul-searching question that hit the nail on the head, Senju Tobirama covered his face, looking ashamed to see people, and sold out the culprit, Senju Hashirama, completely.

"Haha, who told so many ninja clans to submit applications to us? We can't let people come and have nowhere to live, right?"

As the culprit of the financial deficit, Senju Hashirama smiled awkwardly, touched his big head, and argued for his behavior.

"If they want to join, let them come and build it themselves. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Not expecting that the pillars of Konoha in the future were already gathering, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow and continued.

"It is our Konoha that gives them the shelter of peace. It's not bad if we don't ask them for money, and we even provide food and housing?"

"That's right, Big Brother, you are really lowering your status by doing this."

Senju Tobirama rarely agreed with the Uchiha's opinion. His scarlet eyes looked at his big brother, and the blame in them could be said to be visible to the naked eye.

"Sigh~ Now that the wood is already a boat, the residential areas have already been built. It's too late to say anything!"

Even as the person in charge of Konoha, Senju Hashirama still had no dignity in front of these two. He just lowered his head timidly and shouted in a very broken-jar-broken-jar tone.

"So, you guys are looking for Cousin, wanting to borrow money?"

Throwing the financial report aside, Uchiha Gin looked at the Senju brothers before him, sighed helplessly, and asked.

"Hehe, you really have a good eye for people~"

Senju Hashirama smiled upon hearing this, stepped forward very enthusiastically, placed his big hand on Uchiha Gin's shoulder, and rubbed it hard. His bright eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing a light called cunning.

Tsk! It's too heartbreaking. Look at you guys, what has power brought to men?

"This... Brother Hashirama, although I have the heart to help, but unfortunately, the landlord's family has no surplus food."

Facing the enthusiastic Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Gin showed a look of difficulty, and then talked about the current situation of the Uchiha clan.

"You don't know the price of firewood and rice when you are in charge. The Uchiha clan is not as big as your Senju clan. Every cent of our money is spent on the blade. Excluding material costs, the construction of the clan land is all supported by the clan members' selfless help, built brick by brick~"

"Clan members? But how did I hear that your Uchiha clan hired high-paid construction masters from other countries to design and build your clan land?"

Senju Tobirama on the side, after listening to Uchiha Gin's complaints, frowned and mercilessly exposed the real lie of this curly-haired man.

The Land of Waves is famous for its construction and infrastructure. For this construction of the clan land, Uchiha Gin specifically contacted Uchiha Tian Dao and asked him to send a large number of construction teams from the Land of Waves to help build the Uchiha clan land. Among them, in addition to the craftsmen from the Land of Waves, many Uchiha clan members who wanted to go home and see were mixed in.

"Hey... this... you are talking about those masters from the Land of Waves. Actually, it's like this..."

Not expecting this kid Senju Tobirama to stare at the Uchiha clan so closely, he had just pulled some experts from his uncle's side, and he was discovered by this guy. But fortunately, he was not exposed. Uchiha Gin's eyes turned, and he had a strategy in his heart.

"We signed a contract with the Land of Waves. The Uchiha clan paid a small part of the remuneration as a down payment. After the clan land is built, we will pay back the remaining balance to the Land of Waves with interest according to the proportion every year."

"There is such a good thing?"

Hearing this overly advanced contract, Senju Hashirama's eyes lit up. In this day and age, there is still such a good thing as getting on the bus first and making up the ticket later?

"With interest? How much is the interest?"

Compared to his simple-minded brother, Senju Tobirama, as a younger brother, was concerned about the interest. If the Land of Waves was really so easy to talk to, then their Senju clan could also sign a contract with them. In this way, the village's construction would be guaranteed for the time being.

"Uh... it's quite high, thirty-five points?"

Uchiha Gin's heart tightened. Why did this white-haired guy have such a deep-searching expression? Worried that the other party would investigate, he said the high interest he thought of. This was an interest rate only one point lower than the usury standard, just to make this kid retreat.

But unexpectedly, he still underestimated the loan standard of the Ninja World.

"Quick! Give me the contact information of the Land of Waves."

Just as his words fell, Senju Tobirama, with an impatient expression, instantly flashed in front of Uchiha Gin, grabbed his shoulder, and urged.

"Huh? It's thirty-five points. Didn't you hear clearly?"

This shake made Uchiha Gin confused. This is an interest rate of thirty-five points. Anyone who sees it will shake their head. Why is this kid so anxious?

"I heard it clearly. Your Uchiha clan is really hiding deep. You actually enjoy such a good thing alone."

"Huh???"

Finally, under Senju Tobirama's pestering, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to bite the bullet, leave the contact information of the Land of Waves, and finally, he, who had lost his utility value, was swept out by Senju Tobirama.

"Tsk, really strange, Happy Lending?"

After coming out of Senju Hashirama's temporary office building, Uchiha Gin walked straight back to the clan land under construction, looking at the hot construction site, and stopped a strange craftsman.

"This brother, where is your leader?"

"Huh? Who are you?"

This craftsman who was stopped by Uchiha Gin was still holding tools. Facing the strange curly-haired man who delayed his work, he didn't have a good face, so he pushed the other's hand away and said impatiently.

"I am your employer, brother, give me some face~"

Uchiha Gin didn't get angry because of the other party's impolite behavior, but looked at the familiar golden hair exposed under the other party's safety helmet with curiosity, and explained peacefully.

"Oh, it turns out to be the boss, sorry, sorry, I was abrupt~"

When the young craftsman heard that it was the employer, he performed a face-changing show on the spot, his smile as bright as the sun, and he bowed respectfully to Uchiha Gin.

"It's okay, I was the one who disturbed your work first, brother, are you from the Land of Waves?"

"That's right, I am a native of the Land of Waves."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's inquiry, the young man didn't hide it, his blue eyes full of sincerity.

"What do you think of the Land of Fire?"

Staring intently at the familiar face of the young man before him, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It's quite good. Compared to the Land of Waves, the climate is much better. If there is a chance, I would like to settle here~"

"Welcome, welcome~"

After chatting with this golden-haired craftsman for a few words, Uchiha Gin followed his guidance and found the leader of the craftsmen of the Land of Waves.

"Lord Gin!"

After seeing the leader of the craftsmen of the Land of Waves, Uchiha Gin hadn't spoken yet, but the other party bowed respectfully to Uchiha Gin first. When he was puzzled, the other party formed seals with both hands, and as a burst of smoke dissipated, the strange craftsman turned into an Uchiha clan member with black hair and black eyes.

"Uh... are you also back to visit relatives?"

Knowing that many clan members who had returned to visit relatives were mixed in among the craftsmen, he just didn't expect that this leader was also a member of the Uchiha clan, so he asked curiously.

"Back to the Lord, I was sent by the old clan Daimyo, specifically responsible for liaison."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's question, this clan member shook his head and informed Uchiha Gin of his identity as a liaison.

"The Daimyo ordered that I only contact you, and I don't recognize anyone else."

"Uncle is quite careful. Since it's one of our own, then I'll tell you something."

Originally, he wanted to talk to the craftsmen of the Land of Waves about the fabricated loan to build the clan land. Now that it's all one of our own, it's easy to handle.

So, Uchiha Gin told the clan member about the loan to build the clan land exactly as it was, and finally instructed him that if the Senju clan came to them, they should sign the contract according to this interest rate before repairing it for them.

"Ah? Thirty-five points?"

After listening to Uchiha Gin's arrangement, this clan member looked at him with a strange face, his tone full of deep confusion, and confirmed again.

"Lord Gin, are you sure it's thirty-five points, not three hundred and fifty?"
