Chapter 34: Kill you, your money is also mine
Chapter 34: Kill you, your money is also mine
"Young Patriarch Sanye, the hot springs here are quite comfortable, right?"
"pretty good."
Li Zhongren, wearing a bathrobe, came to the restaurant under the guidance of one of the casino owners.
A wide square table was filled with delicacies from land and sea.
"I'm really sorry for making the young patriarch travel all the way."
The other two bosses also stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Zhongren.
“I should be the one to say sorry”
Li Zhongren sighed. He knew that it was true that Senju Tsunade was a spendthrift woman who would spend all the money she had, but he never expected that this woman would borrow money to gamble when she was broke, even though he knew that at least part of the reason was that this woman wanted to use gambling to forget her pain.
"My sister has a rather naughty personality."
"Young Patriarch Sanye, may I ask you a question?"
"of course."
"Why do you still call yourself Kotori Mitsuha?"
"Do you know that decades ago, the Shodaime spread the blood of the Senju clan throughout Konoha?"
“Have heard a little bit”
"I am the lucky one who was born after the bloodline spreading incident. I have awakened the bloodline of the Senju clan."
"I see."
Hearing this, the casino owner nodded.
In fact, the reason why he and the other two bosses brought the young clan leader all the way to Duance Street was not to really ask him to pay back the money. After all, the Senshou clan had been in decline for many years, and letting him come was to let him stand up for his own casino. In front of everyone, behind the prosperity of Duance Street, there were also intrigues and tensions.
Although the Senju clan has declined, the princess of the Senju clan has not. Some of them have even speculated that this princess may even compete for the position of Hokage in the future.
This is equivalent to finding a strong thigh for yourself and improving your ability to resist risks. If someone wants to cause trouble for them, they have to consider whether they can afford to offend the thigh behind them.
As for the loss or price, Princess Tsunade is a well-known fat sheep. No matter how much money she borrows from the casino, she will lose it back as soon as she turns around. In other words, she can transfer money from her left hand to her right hand. She doesn't even need to transfer money because what she was given was not money at all, but chips.
However, the only thing they were worried about along the way was whether the young clan leader was legitimate and whether that old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen was fooling them. But when the other party said this, they understood.
Princess Tsunade allowed the young man to return to the Senju clan, actually just to let him breed.
It doesn’t matter whether he has real power or not, and it doesn’t matter whether he changes his name or not. In the future, he is destined to have a blood relationship with the entire Thousand Hands clan, and this in itself is the greatest real power.
"Cough cough."
Clearing his throat, the casino owner took out the contract he had prepared long ago.
"Then, Young Patriarch, as long as you are willing to sign this contract."
"From now on, Princess Tsunade is with us. No matter how much gambling debts she owes, we will not pursue them."
"In addition, every year, we will provide the Senju clan with an additional 1 million taels of protection fee."
"What do you think?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your proposal."
"Hmm? Young Clan Leader!"
Hearing this, the casino owner's face changed color.
"We agreed on this when we came here. The Sandaime-sama was here at the time. If you want to go back on your word, then you should pay back all the money Princess Tsunade owes you."
"Miss Mikoto, what's going on?"
Suddenly, Li Zhongren started talking, as if he was talking to the air.
"Squeak~~"
The door of the room was slowly pushed open, and Uchiha Mikoto walked in with a pair of scarlet eyes. There were two magatama spinning inside. At the same time, next to the boss holding the contract, the other two bosses disappeared with a puff.
“I’ve already said it all.”
Uchiha Mikoto looked at the casino owner coldly. She had never thought that there was such a thing in the world. She couldn't even think of what words to describe it. They, the ninjas, killed people only because of war and wanted to give the other party a quick death.
These people force women of good character into prostitution, trade in human beings, and even torture people for pleasure, and have developed various industries into this.
"Then thank you, Mikoto-san and Yashiro-sama." "You"
The casino owner rubbed his eyes and looked out the door. His two partners were slumped outside with dementia on their faces. There was also a man with a pair of scarlet eyes. He felt cold in his heart.
"I've thought of a better way."
Li Zhongren shrugged and stood up.
"That means I'll kill all three of you. That way, not only will I not have to pay you back, but all the money in your vault will also be mine."
"How dare you!! You dare to steal our money! The Daimyo will not let you go!!"
The casino owner suddenly became furious, and even the last bit of respect in his tone disappeared.
It's not his fault, because this has always been the tacit understanding between the daimyo and the ninja village. The daimyo is responsible for governing the country, and the ninja village is responsible for defending the country. Even because of the unique etiquette of this world, the daimyo's status is higher than that of the shadow.
Of course, that's just a saying. The Zhou Dynasty in the previous life has already proved that an emperor without power is nothing more than a mascot.
However, ninjas rarely do things that kill the goose that lays the eggs.
After all, that would make people panic. Merchants and craftsmen would instinctively want to flee to other countries. If they could not escape, productivity would decline. After all, if even the most basic safety cannot be guaranteed here, who would work hard?
Naturally, this is also the reason why the casino owner dared to get angry.
"It's not robbery. I just fulfilled the duty of a ninja and found three demons that were endangering the Fire Country for the Lord of Fire."
Having said that, Li Zhongren turned his head again and looked at Uchiha Mikoto.
"Is there any news from Brother Yaowei?"
"Well, Yaowei said that he has gathered a large group of people outside the casino. Most of them have financial disputes with the casino, and some have lost their families because of the casino. But, Young Patriarch Sanye, what are you going to do?"
"Miss Mikoto, please take the three of them outside. I'll be there soon."
As he was speaking, with a puff, Li Zhongren's body turned into a wooden sculpture. Then, the wooden sculpture began to slowly dissolve and disappeared into the air.
"The Clone Technique?? I actually...didn't see it?? I thought that was it..."
"Let's go, Mikoto."
Uchiha Yashiro, holding a casino owner in one hand, called out to Uchiha Mikoto.
"Forget about the Sharingan. You can't tell the difference even if you touch it yourself. It's the most perfect clone jutsu in the world, at least for now."
"Minister Inada, one of my clones told me that those three people have confessed their crimes."
In a secret room, the Fire Nation's Minister of Finance stationed in Tansho Street was sitting there quietly drinking tea, listening to the young man opposite him speak.
"Didn't your other clone say he was going to search the casino's underground vault?"
Hearing this, the finance minister raised his eyebrows and spoke.
"How's the situation inside?"
Although he is the highest commander here, he only has the right to collect taxes. The current ninja world is still like the Zhou Dynasty, with fiefdoms and families everywhere. Even in a small town, each force is independent. They just submit to the most powerful Fire Nation and pay money to buy peace.
“It’s truly spectacular.”
Li Zhongren said with emotion.
"Not to mention the countless gold and treasures, one of them is a golden Buddha with a jade throne from the Warring States Period. I heard that it was the treasure of the Emperor of the Ancestor Country in the Chaos Era. It is more than one foot tall!"
"Ah, did you see it with your own eyes?"
"When it came out, I had already drawn it out and didn't register it. I asked someone to deliver it to your wife."
"Oh"
Finance Minister Inada let out a breath and leaned back.
"The public trial of the daimyo mentioned by Young Clan Leader Qianju is indeed a very good proposal. The daimyo is busy, and we, as his subjects, naturally have to share his worries. This public trial can not only bring these evil people to justice, but also enhance the prestige of the daimyo. I agree."
"Thank you, Minister Inada."
