"What?! You gave ten kilograms of gold bricks directly to the Mist ninja who attacked you?! Are you out of your mind?!" Senju Tobirama's roar made Hinata Kazuko, the secretary lady, and Uchiha Rou outside the temporary camp tremble.
Apart from anything else, Senju Tobirama's zombie-like face was quite intimidating.
Youya responded with an indifferent expression, "I think it's worth it."
Senju Tobirama slammed his fist on the table. "That's ten kilograms! Ten kilograms! Now, because of the war, the price of gold has soared. It's almost ten thousand taels per gram! Do you understand what that means?!"
Youya sighed and then sat across from Senju Tobirama, looking at him with dead fish eyes. "Uncle Master, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Seeing that his furious expression couldn't frighten the brat, Senju Tobirama coughed awkwardly and forcefully defended himself. "I'm really afraid that your ten kilograms of gold will go to waste."
Yuya maintained his deadpan expression and continued, "The caravan to the Kingdom of Water has already set off. If the leading ninja wants to monopolize the ten kilograms of gold, there is only one way: to betray Kirigakure Village and become a defecting ninja."
There was something Youya didn't say: although ten kilograms was a lot, and the current price was even tens of millions of taels, betraying the village for ten kilograms of gold seemed a bit unsightly.
Yuya's mention of the caravan going to the Kingdom of Water also had a hidden meaning: he was ready to let the merchants of these caravans deliver greetings in the name of Konoha.
The message was that Konoha was very eager to do business with the Kingdom of Water and even sent a ninja to convey their sincerity. It was a full ten kilograms of gold, given for free, with absolutely no strings attached. If they didn't believe it, they could ask the ninja leader who had led the attack on the Valley of Two Cliffs.
Yuya believed that as long as Mizukage wasn't foolish and didn't trust his subordinates 1000%, he would definitely appreciate the gesture.
After all... money in other people's hands must eventually end up in your own.
Even if Yuya didn't spend it on himself, he could still do something for the village with those ten million taels.
Thus, Yuya had many purposes for giving the gold bricks to the leading ice ninja.
However, the specific operation depended on Kirigakure Village's next actions.
Senju Tobirama saw that Yuya did have a plan, so he decided to stop beating around the bush. He knocked on the table: "You must have more gold; take it out and let this matter be settled."
Youya's expression didn't change. "No, it's all for that guy."
Senju Tobirama's frustration boiled over. "You give gold to anyone who attacks Kirigakure Village! I am your uncle!"
Yuya curled his lips. "I will give you the money today, and you can distribute it to the ninja troops on the front line tomorrow."
Senju Tobirama asked, "Isn't this good?!"
Youya sighed. "Uncle, you really don't understand people's hearts..."
Senju Tobirama took a deep breath. This was his nephew. He couldn't fight; he couldn't even brawl. The main issue was that after fighting, he couldn't ask for money. This brat must still have stocks, while Konoha Village still needed three routes connected to the main road. Two bridges still needed to be built over the Beimi River. The river channel needed dredging, the wasteland to the south and west of the village needed reclamation, farm tools had to be remade, and food was in short supply due to the war...
It was okay not to think about it, but when he did, Senju Tobirama almost burst into tears.
They were really short on money—way too short!
Taking another deep breath, Senju Tobirama maintained a calm façade, but he was cursing in his heart: You bastard! Am I the kind of person who spends money randomly?! You are so generous to others, but so stingy to me, right?!
This Hokage really couldn't last a day.
Although he was cursing inwardly, on the surface, Senju Tobirama said calmly, "Since you are so capable, you can handle the follow-up supplies."
But in his heart, he decided that if the little brat Youya refused to give him the gold, he would definitely use money to get the logistical supplies.
This way, he would have one less thing to worry about.
Youya didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.
To be honest, Yuya was also scared this time.
The place assigned to him by Senju Tobirama was far from the front lines. Logically speaking, no one should be able to attack him there.
But the sixth person from Kirigakure Village actually wanted to come over and attack without even saying hello.
Youya was sure that it wasn't just their location that was attacked; other places must have been hit as well.
He didn't know the casualties.
But no matter how many people died, Kirigakure and Konoha were determined not to fight if they could avoid it.
Although Konoha Village had the largest number of ninjas, it didn't mean they had to engage in a full-scale war with several other ninja villages.
The Valley of Two Cliffs was not a safe place, so Yuya felt that the safest spot at this stage should be Konoha Village.
After all, if a small team of ninjas could come to Konoha Village to cause trouble, there was only one possibility: the front line had completely collapsed.
Well, although Senju Tobirama was not very bright and lacked political sensitivity, he was still talented in military matters.
After all, the ninja world was forged in wars when there were still five major nations.
Even so, it was impossible to account for all the details.
Just like this time.
There is one thing to say: if Yuya admitted that he was Senju Hashirama's disciple, then, to prevent the emergence of another ninja god in the ninja world, it would not be impossible to do whatever it took to counter him.
After all, Senju Hashirama alone had suppressed the ambitions of these countries for seventeen years.
For seventeen years, they had sharpened their knives daily, eager to kill the fat sheep of Konoha, but they were just afraid of the person sitting atop the fat pig.
Now that that person was dead, they must prevent the next Senju Hashirama from appearing.
Fortunately, Yuya realized this and decisively stated that he was from the richest family in Konoha.
There was nothing wrong with that; he was indeed the richest.
But of course, the others wouldn't think so.
Even so, Yuya was awakened by the almost sneak attack by Lao Liu. No, even if he was very close to the temporary base camp in the rear, there would still be danger.
So Yuya decided to take over the logistics task.
Then he resolved to open his eyes wide for Senju Tobirama.
He was optimistic about Uncle Master; this was how supplies would be collected.
…
So, in the late spring and early summer of Konoha's seventeenth year, in front of the Hokage's office building in Konoha Village.
Yuya built a high platform, stood on it, and used a sound amplification ninja technique to address the residents of Konoha Village.
This speech truly brought him into the sight of everyone in Konoha Village.
Of course, Yuya did not call himself Senju Hashirama's apprentice. In fact, it was not until the day Yuya became Hokage that the people of Konoha knew that the god Yuya, who had led them to prosperity, was the disciple of Senju Hashirama.
Everything began with today's speech.
