Chapter 233: Attacking the chest as soon as you come up?
Thanks to the auction and lottery activity held by Uchiha Gin, the village, which had originally been a bit depressed, became active. The restraint in the eyes of the ordinary people who had just moved into the village not long ago gradually faded, and instead brought novelty, and the sense of alienation from the village was also slowly disappearing inadvertently.
"Hmph! Is that guy Senju Hashirama? He looks silly and dull, and the huge wooden man you described is only a few meters high. Sure enough, it's just an exaggerated rumor."
Right in this bustling crowd, stood two figures who were out of tune with the enthusiastic crowd around them. The cold aura exuded from their bodies made ordinary people dare not approach. Among them, the younger man, with white eyes different from ordinary people, was full of disdain at this moment.
The scene where Senju Hashirama used the mini version of the Wood-release Technique was seen by him. After a wave of brainstorming, this Phoenix Chick from the Hyuga clan immediately indicated that the other party must have bought traffic, bragging about the wooden man several meters high under his crotch to tens of meters high.
"Shh~ Young Clan Head, be careful, beware of walls having ears!"
As a member of the branch family, Hyuga Sosuke, who had been following the young man, looked around nervously, then bowed his waist and reminded his young clan head in a low voice.
"I don't know how you branch families do things outside, you can't even figure out the most basic intelligence."
Facing the kind reminder of his servant, Hyuga Tenyao, the young clan head of the Hyuga clan, didn't listen at all. Instead, he glanced at Hyuga Sosuke, who was bowing behind him, with a warm look, his tone carrying deep blame.
"Young Clan Head, don't..."
As a branch family of the Hyuga who had been fighting outside for many years, even if Hyuga Sosuke had never faced the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan head-on, he had also learned of Senju Hashirama's true strength from some other ninja clans.
From the fear that could not be hidden in the eyes of those ninja clans, he could judge that the other party was definitely not lying, so his eyes turned slightly, trying to stop his young clan head from doing stupid things.
"Long-winded, I, Hyuga Tenyao, do things, it's not your turn, a branch family, to point fingers. After I defeat the person from the Uchiha clan, I will naturally challenge Senju Hashirama again."
The white eyes carried a cold gaze, interrupting Hyuga Sosuke's last persuasion. The proud Hyuga Tenyao held his head high, his arrogant aura overflowing, and turned to stare at the three Senju Hashirama not far away, coldly stating what he was going to do next.
"Tsk~ Why is my spine cold? Brother Hashirama, do you feel like you're being spied on?"
Sensing an unkind gaze, Uchiha Gin, who was pulling with the Senju brothers, suddenly frowned. After looking around, he asked Senju Hashirama in front of him.
"Uh... if you say so, it really feels a bit cold. Is it because I'm wearing too little?"
Senju Hashirama, who also felt a chill on his back, touched his big black-haired head, smiled honestly, and said.
"Why don't I feel it?"
Senju Tobirama beside him had a look of confusion on his face. Why didn't he feel a chill on his back?
"Maybe there is a bug in the judgment behind you, just get used to it~"
Uchiha Gin, who had an inexplicable face, patted Senju Tobirama on the shoulder comfortingly, and explained in a tone carrying a bit of sympathy.
"???"
Although he couldn't understand, he always felt that the other party was mocking him.
"Come home and see often~"
Bidding farewell to the prisoners of the Ninja Clan Alliance with tears, Uchiha Gin showed deep reluctance and couldn't help but shout out, the sincere tone made passersby couldn't help but look sideways.
"Hurry up!"
The crowd with empty pockets, after hearing the devil's greeting, didn't look back and fled. If they stayed for a while longer, the other party would take out other strange krypton gold props.
"Nostalgia for the hometown, understandable~"
Smacking his lips, Uchiha Gin turned to Uchiha Jiro, who had an excited look, and asked.
"Is the account cleared?"
"Calculated, the revenue is 2.8 billion ryo, but the loans alone are 2.6 billion."
Holding the bill tremblingly, Uchiha Jiro had never seen so much money in his life. His whole face was flushed with excitement, and his voice carried traces of trembling.
"Huh? Meaning only 200 million arrived?"
If it were an ordinary person, after hearing this string of astronomical figures, they would definitely jump up in excitement, but as Uchiha Gin, who spent money like water, he just frowned slightly, his face carrying a trace of disappointment.
"Uh... that is true~"
Not expecting that Uchiha Gin, as the initiator of the matter, would be so dissatisfied with his results, Uchiha Jiro, who couldn't grasp what the other party was thinking, didn't dare to say anything more.
"That's fine, after all, they don't have much spare money in their hands. Let the brothers in the dungeon divide those 200 million. If it's not enough, I'll make it up."
Uchiha Gin, who was still complaining that these Ninja Clan Alliance members were poor, suddenly remembered the large number of shops they had rented in the past few days, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, so he understood why they were a bit tight on hand, so he waved his hand and let Uchiha Jiro take the 200 million in cash to let the brothers enjoy it first.
"Enough, absolutely enough~"
Uchiha Jiro, who obtained the distribution right, smiled until his eyes were almost a line, and immediately indicated that these 200 million would definitely be spent clearly, and then rushed back to distribute money to the brothers without looking back.
"I am really a great philanthropist~"
Holding the loan contract signed by the Ninja Clan Alliance, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but sigh. You must know that if calculated according to the black market price, those guys in the dungeon were worth more than 35 million on average, and it didn't matter if they lived or died. He actually let them write IOUs. Sure enough, he was the most loving Uchiha.
"Brother Gin, time is almost up, let's go."
Senju Hashirama on the side, after hearing Uchiha Gin's self-evaluation, looked at the stack of contracts in Uchiha Gin's hand with a complex face, and couldn't help but sigh that Uchiha Gin's skin was tougher than Madara's Susanoo.
"Alrighty, remember to split 50/50~"
Stuffing the contract into his bag, Uchiha Gin took off his suit jacket, revealing the combat gear underneath. He pulled a black wooden sword from who knows where and tucked it into his waistband. With his usual lazy expression, he waved his hand, signaling the other party to lead the way; he was in a rush to go make money again.
To say that the Senju clan had no selfishness, that was definitely impossible. The new clan grounds of the Senju clan were built under the cliff by the water, occupying the golden section of Konoha Village. Stepping into the gate of the Senju clan grounds with the two brothers, looking at the simple but stylish buildings on both sides, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but nod repeatedly, but he always felt that something was missing.
"How is it? Is our Senju clan grounds repaired okay?"
Seeing that Uchiha Gin had been looking around, Senju Hashirama, who was a bit proud in his heart, couldn't help but ask.
"Not bad not bad, low-key luxury with connotation, but it is..."
Hearing Uchiha Gin's affirmation, Senju Hashirama's nose was high, almost writing the word pride on his face, but hearing the other party change the subject, a look of surprise appeared on his honest face.
"Does Brother Gin have any suggestions? Just mention it!"
"Not really a suggestion, just feel that there is a lack of entertainment and leisure places in your clan grounds."
Uchiha Gin touched his chin, examining the ordinary shops around him, his eyes carrying inexplicable colors.
"Entertainment and leisure?"
Senju Hashirama, who had fought for a lifetime and hadn't enjoyed it yet, didn't understand the meaning of entertainment and leisure at all.
"Tsk~ When everyone is idle, they will drink some small wine, find some little sisters, KK songs, or shake some dice. If they are so tense every day, even the most powerful ninja will collapse."
Originally in the Warring States period, everyone's conditions were limited, and entertainment activities were too barren. Now that Konoha was founded, shouldn't everyone be allowed to enjoy it?
"Shake dice?"
Hearing Uchiha Gin's words, Senju Hashirama only felt his heart scratching like a cat, his face carrying deep curiosity. At this moment, he hadn't come into contact with this kind of thing yet.
"Hey~ I'll teach you how to play when I have time later. I am the man known as the God of Gamblers in the Ninja World!"
Seeing the intention to ask for advice in Brother Hashirama's eyes, Uchiha Gin didn't hide it, immediately took out a piece of chocolate and held it in his mouth, his tone carrying sighs, as if he was lonely and defeated in another field.
"You guy, don't try to teach Big Brother bad!"
Senju Tobirama, who was following behind Senju Hashirama, had eyes full of wariness. He subconsciously sensed something wrong from Uchiha Gin's tone, so he frowned and spoke.
"No way, just playing, harmless."
"Hmph~ Don't let me find out you have any other purpose."
Senju Tobirama, who was hugging his chest with both hands, snorted coldly, then stared fixedly at Uchiha Gin, as if warning him not to make small moves.
"Alright alright, we are all one family, don't make the atmosphere so stiff~"
Just when Senju Tobirama in front of Uchiha Gin was pressing step by step, Senju Hashirama on the side opened his arms, circled the necks of the two, and had a hearty smile on his face, persuading.
"Huh? Who is one family with this curly-haired guy?"
Senju Tobirama, whose brain hadn't turned around yet, had a look of deep confusion on his tight face. When did he, a Senju, become a relative with this Uchiha?
"Uh... yes yes yes, we are all one family. Tomorrow I will give Brother Hashirama a pair of dice made of jade~"
Uchiha Gin, who was also confused, was about to argue, but suddenly remembered his big cousin who was in seclusion, and instantly his intention was clear, so he changed his words immediately, expressing that they were as close as family.
"Big Brother, you... alright, I know."
Senju Tobirama, who was about to attack, saw his big brother's mouth slightly open, saying two words silently, and his whole body's aura stagnated. A touch of bitterness that was not easily detected flowed in his cold eyes, and then he turned his head away, defaulting to Senju Hashirama's words.
"Hehe, that's right, hurry up and go, the Hyuga clan people are almost anxious~"
"Speaking of which, why did this Hyuga clan come only now?"
Walking in Senju Hashirama's corridor, stepping on the brand-new wooden floor, Uchiha Gin, who had a sloppy look, asked Senju Tobirama beside him.
"Too far."
Thinking of his own watery little cabbage being transplanted into his own yard by this hateful curly-haired guy, Senju Tobirama, who didn't want to pay attention to him, coldly spat out two words.
That's right, it was really too far. Although the Hyuga clan was one of the long-standing major clans in the Land of Fire, they rarely communicated with the outside world, living in an area in the northeast corner of the Land of Fire for a long time. Usually, they sent some branch family members to participate in tasks to earn funds, while the main family had always lived in their clan grounds and rarely went out.
"When you swept across the Land of Fire, didn't you go to clean up those white-eye diseases?"
Uchiha Gin recalled carefully and suddenly discovered that the Uchiha clan seemed to have never had a head-on confrontation with the Hyuga clan, so he couldn't help but have some curiosity about this reclusive family.
"It's not that I didn't think about it, but the other party can always discover our traces in advance and hide very quickly."
As the former flat-headed brother of the ninja world, Senju Hashirama also thought about touching the legendary pupil technique family, wanting to see what was different from Madara.
But things went against his wishes, and every move he made, the other party seemed to know like the back of their hand. After many probes, the other party could always discover his traces.
After a few times, Senju Hashirama also lost interest. After all, he couldn't waste too much time on one clan. With this time, he could have pushed several ninja clans flat.
It doesn't matter, being able to turtle is also very powerful, at least it won't be exterminated~
"However, Brother Gin, you still have to be careful. It is said that the Hyuga clan's taijutsu is very strange and can hurt people invisibly."
After recalling his few failed attempts to clean up the Hyuga, Senju Hashirama, who was a bit depressed, turned his head and reminded Uchiha Gin.
"I can react to the package~"
Hearing the worry in Senju Hashirama's tone, Uchiha Gin smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he could handle it.
"Here, it's here, they have already arrived."
Finally, after turning a few corners, Uchiha Gin was brought to a place similar to a martial arts field by the two brothers. As the wooden door was slowly pushed open, two white figures in the distance came into the eyes of the three.
"Actually made me wait for so long, is this your Senju clan's way of treating guests?"
Because Uchiha Gin delayed for a while to calculate the account, Hyuga Tenyao and the two, who arrived one step ahead of them, looked at Uchiha Gin and the others who pushed the door and entered with an unhappy face, and asked.
"Brother, you should have paid attention back then."
Sensing the thick malice, Uchiha Gin turned his head and said to Senju Hashirama beside him.
"Next time for sure!"
"Sorry, kept you two waiting."
Calming the restlessness in his heart, thinking that the other party had come from afar to send money, Senju Hashirama, who changed into a hearty smile, replied.
"No harm, no harm, we also just arrived not long ago."
Compared to Hyuga Tenyao, who had a stinky face, Hyuga Sosuke, who was a servant, had some eye color. Seeing the faint unhappiness in Senju Hashirama's eyes, he hurried to speak to ease the embarrassment.
"I wonder who you are?"
Hearing Hyuga Sosuke's words, Senju Hashirama's face eased a bit, and then he asked.
"I am Hyuga..."
Hyuga Sosuke's face warmed, and he was about to introduce himself, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Hyuga Tenyao in front of him.
"Just a servant, I am Hyuga Tenyao, the young clan head of the Hyuga clan. Where is the person from the Uchiha clan? It wouldn't be him, right?"
Fiercely glaring at the talkative Hyuga Sosuke, Hyuga Tenyao, who held himself noble, did not have the slightest politeness in his tone. A pair of white eyes looked up and down at Uchiha Gin, who had finished changing, frowned and compared him with the host of the auction before, and then asked unkindly.
"That'
"Huh? The head of the Uchiha clan is just this kind of person?"
Kid, you should be grateful for the ancestor's stone tablet; otherwise, just because of that sentence, the future Crown Princess might have to be replaced.
"...'s cousin~"
"Hmph, like brother, like brother. I see the Uchiha clan is nothing more than this."
Although a misunderstanding had occurred, the Hyuga clan's pride told Hyuga Xiang Tianyao that he could never take back what he had said.
"Whew~ Brother Hashirama, can I beat him to death?"
You can talk about my brother, but you absolutely cannot talk about me!
"Sigh~ just give me some face. Whatever grudges you have, you can settle them slowly later. Let's trick them in, people and money, first."
Hurriedly pressing down on Uchiha Gin, who was drawing his sword to step forward, Senju Hashirama, with a complex expression, whispered his advice.
"Fine, fine, fine. Who told me to be the most loving Uchiha~"
Since Brother Hashirama had spoken, the life of this arrogant kid was considered saved.
"This is Uchiha Gin, one of the people with the highest prestige in the Uchiha clan, and his strength is... unfathomable. What do you two think?"
Having finally pacified Uchiha Gin, the hardworking Senju Hashirama turned back and forth, introducing Uchiha Gin's information to the two Hyuga clan members. When he mentioned his strength, he clearly paused for a moment.
As for Uchiha Gin's strength, Senju Hashirama still didn't have an accurate concept of it even now. Although the other party's usual words and actions didn't have the posture of a powerhouse, being able to survive under his father's iron fist meant he should have something... right?
"It's best not to just pick up any stray cat or dog to deal with me. Otherwise, after I go back, I will suggest to my father that we modify the content of the discussion."
After Senju Hashirama's introduction, Hyuga Xiang Tianyao finally put the eyes on top of his head back into their original position. Staring at Uchiha Gin's lifeless, dead-fish eyes, he said coldly.
"I heard that your Uchiha clan can copy the opponent's moves and use their own methods to treat them?"
After staring at Uchiha Gin's black eyes for a moment, Hyuga Xiang Tianyao asked slowly.
"Basic operation, don't be surprised~"
Since you've praised me so much, I won't be polite with you. I'll show my cards: every one of us Uchiha is a master of copying.
"Then, can you copy the secret techniques of our Hyuga clan?"
Hearing Uchiha Gin's response without any humility, Hyuga Xiang Tianyao, with a bit of annoyance on his face, questioned him.
"Not necessarily. After all, if it's too simple, we will just ignore it~"
Hearing the surprise in Senju Tobirama's tone, Uchiha Gin scratched his curly hair. It shouldn't be so disgusting, he was at least an old man of high prestige in the Uchiha clan.
"Do you know who we are negotiating with today?"
"Anyone is fine, I'll just look, don't talk."
It is estimated that it is another ninja clan that wants to join Konoha, which has nothing to do with me, unless they can explode gold coins.
"It is the Hyuga clan. They came this time and specifically named wanting to exchange pointers with the Uchiha clan."
Looking at Uchiha Gin, who had a look of "it doesn't matter," Senju Tobirama, who finally softened his heart, reminded him.
If it weren't for Itama, I wouldn't care if you live or die!
"Huh? Are those white-eye diseases full and bored?"
This really made Uchiha Gin stunned. It seems that the thing he agreed to is quite troublesome!
"They want to verify who is the number one pupil technique family in the Land of Fire."
"Alright, I will go knock on the shrine door today, pull out Big Cousin, and let those white-eye diseases see what is called dimensionality reduction strike."
Uchiha Gin didn't bother to fight for the false name of number one, and it couldn't be eaten as a meal, so he took a step, ready to invite Uchiha Madara out, and let the frogs at the bottom of the well of the Hyuga clan see what is called a Gundam.
"Don't don't don't, it's just an exchange, no need to call Madara!"
Hearing that Uchiha Gin was going to invite Madara out of the mountain, Senju Hashirama broke into a cold sweat, grabbed the other party's sleeve, and explained repeatedly, the worry in his eyes was great.
If Madara is allowed to come out, the Hyuga clan is afraid that they will disappear from the Land of Fire.
"No, Brother Hashirama, you would agree to such a boring thing. Don't you know what level our Uchiha clan is?"
Uchiha Gin, who was forcibly retained, frowned, his face full of deep confusion. He really couldn't understand why Senju Hashirama would agree to such an outrageous request.
"Oh, there are very complex reasons for this, I can't explain it clearly for a while~"
Facing Uchiha Gin's questioning, Senju Hashirama's eyes became a bit drifting, dodging and not daring to look directly into his eyes.
"There is nothing to hide. The Hyuga clan promised that after joining, they will donate a large sum of funds for the construction of Konoha Village, and the premise of joining is to touch the Uchiha clan, which is also a pupil technique family."
Since his big brother didn't want to be this bad guy, Senju Tobirama would do it, so he explained the reason to Uchiha Gin.
"Brother Hashirama, didn't expect that just for a mere sum of funds, you would sell the Uchiha clan, who are like beloved friends and relatives, to the Hyuga. It's really chilling, must..."
Only seeing Uchiha Gin with a heartbroken expression, tremblingly pointing his finger at Senju Hashirama, who lowered his head and didn't speak, his tone carrying deep sadness.
"Sorry, Brother Gin, I will go and refuse their request right now..."
"Must share half with us!"
"Huh?"
The Senju brothers were both confused, staring at Uchiha Gin, who had a mocking face, and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
"Don't you understand? The funds promised by the Hyuga clan must be shared by 50% with our Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Gin stretched out five fingers, indicating that this was already the lowest price. If it was lower, there would be no talk.
"You guy, don't you even have the most basic sense of honor?"
Senju Tobirama, who was suffocated, wished he could give this hateful curly-haired guy a knife.
"I am fighting for the honor of the clan. There is no Uchiha with more sense of honor than me. If you say one more word, I will add money!"
Actually being questioned about his sense of honor by the white-haired guy in front of him, Uchiha Gin was not happy at the time, his chest was patted loudly, and his words were even more certain.
"Where do you have a sense of honor, you curly-haired guy who drills into the eyes of money?"
Senju Tobirama was so angry that he almost fainted. If it weren't for Senju Hashirama on the side blocking him, he would definitely let this curly-haired guy know why flowers are red.
"What drilling into the eyes of money, I call this helping others!"
Facing the groundless slander, Uchiha Gin immediately filed an appeal.
"Hmph~ What about those ninja clans you pitted?"
