In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

At this point, Isogen's health is secondary, since Tsunade has already confirmed that he is perfectly healthy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind was filled with contingency plans for dealing with the impending storm of nobles.

Konoha's funds are still in the hands of the Daimyo. If the Daimyo is persuaded by the nobles to cut funding to Konoha, given Konoha's financial situation, it's likely that the village will collapse tomorrow.

As is well known, a ninja village is a country's military base and also the safest place, guarded by countless ninjas. Even enemy ninja villages can only send spies in to gather information.

Safety is a luxury in the ninja world, so naturally the prices in ninja villages are much higher than in other places. Even so, the common people living in Konoha are happy with it.

Living in the ninja village only means experiencing financial strain due to high prices, but outside you could lose your life at any moment!

Having dealt with nobles frequently, I know how capricious they can be. Even if you return the money, you're unlikely to be forgiven; at the very least, you'll have to hand over the person.

But that's completely impossible. Sakumo Hatake himself was a great weapon of Konoha, a deterrent to the entire ninja world.

Uchiha Clan, Fifty Strings of Remaining Song.

The former, based on the Uchiha's deep affection for their family, would dare to attack Kyoto with swords drawn if they were mentioned; the latter... let's talk about how to quell the nobles' anger.

Or should we close the door and release Danzo?

Hiruzen Sarutobi truly had no other options left.

Tsunade knew about the relationship between Isogen, Mito Uzumaki, and Kushina, and before leaving, she declared that she would protect this kid.

Putting that aside, Mito Uzumaki had experienced the deaths of several loved ones and, after a long period of time, finally formed new bonds. He suspected that if he really did that, Danzo would have to openly and honestly do it to him.

Not to mention that Fifty Strings has already demonstrated his talent.

A nine-year-old Jinchuriki who can defeat a Kage-level opponent?! Who the hell is that nine-year-old?!

Anyway, the person will definitely be saved, but the money will never be returned.

After all, the nobles' questioning is in the distant future, while the goalkeeper's breach might happen in the next second.

Wait a moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly realized what was happening.

"So he currently has over 100 million in cash on hand?!"

hiss!

Yu Ge, don't go yet! Let's talk about the grand topic of building Konoha!

Ugh.

"Go and call Nonou in." He sighed and said to the ANBU guard on duty at the door.

The Thousand Hands Old House.

Looking at this historic old house, Tsunade suddenly felt a sense of trepidation, as if she were returning home.

How about we go to the casino for a couple of rounds to relax before coming back?

Just as she hesitated, Fifty Strings took a half step back and, under the dumbfounded gaze of the Silent Little Lolita, delivered a straight kick.

Tsunade was furious and wanted to punish him, but her grandmother was there.

"Hehe, Grandma."

"You're willing to come back?"

Tsunade shrank back, a fawning smile on her face.

Putting aside his grandmother's strength—the only one in Konoha who could hang him up and beat him from every angle—the fact that he had been hiding outside for over a year made him feel guilty.

"Wash your hands and get ready to eat now that you're back. Kushina will be back soon too."

Her gaze skipped Tsunade and landed on the obedient Shizune beside her, her face kind.

"Good child, you've suffered because of her."

"It's not that exaggerated, I'm still very reliable." Tsunade muttered to herself.

Mito remained silent.

Most of the time, Tsunade is indeed very reliable. During the war, she played a decisive role in the poisoning of Hanzo the Salamander in Amegakure.

But outside of his comfort zone, he's barely passable; if it weren't for the fact that he has family members who eat out every day, he'd be considered a poor man.

You can tell just by looking at how many times she's taken money from her family. If it weren't for the Senju family's deep pockets, her spending spree would have kept her from ever returning home.

The few words of concern from the silent person immediately brought tears to their eyes.

At least we had a few good years.

Isogen knew to follow the original story. After losing Mito Uzumaki, who was able to keep Tsunade in check, Tsunade's spending speed far exceeded Mito Uzumaki's expectations.

Although the Senju clan disbanded, the main lineage received a large share of the clan's assets.

If calculated based on an individual's wealth, even if they indulged in extravagance, they could enjoy themselves until the end of time. In fact, as Konoha's economy developed, their wealth might not even increase as much as they would have spent.

However, the Senju clan produced Hashirama Senju and Tsunade, grandfather and granddaughter, and then Tsunade was the only direct descendant of the Senju clan to die.

Without anyone to look after her or divide the inheritance, Tsunade managed to squander the Senju clan's wealth, leaving only what she couldn't possibly give away.

Grandma Mito seems much more energetic than before.

Tsunade, who was following behind, thought to herself.

Suddenly, she sensed something and looked suspiciously at Wu Shixian Yuge, who was walking with an expressionless face.

Were you just saying bad things about me in your mind?

Isogen scoffed coldly: "If I wanted to say bad things about you, would I keep it to myself?"

Tsunade suddenly realized what was happening, and then anger rose in her heart.

That brat is so annoying!

Isogen casually swung his arm, and with a slap, brushed across Tsunade's face.

Enraged, Tsunade was about to reclaim her lost dignity in front of Mito and Shizune when she saw the object that Isogen used to slap her.

A stack of banknotes.

It looks like it costs several hundred thousand.

"...This is what I deserve!"

Mito Uzumaki caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye as she stuffed the money into her pocket without any hesitation, and shook his head slightly in exasperation.

"I've heard about what happened to you." She said admiringly, "Yu Ge did a good job. Those nobles have been too comfortable for too long; they need someone who can put them in their place."

When Mito Uzumaki said this, even the youngest member, Shizune, thought it was normal.

After all, this person surpasses the current Hokage in every aspect, including strength, seniority, and contributions.

Children who have lost loved ones often mature early. Their quiet minds, under the dual pressure of losing a loved one and having to face an unreliable adult, have already surpassed those of their peers.

Mito Uzumaki was satisfied with the way the fifty strings were handled, but the process was still too brutal. However, compared to the previous continuously declining level, it was already quite good that it could be stabilized at this level.

Moreover, their strength has increased to a level that is astonishing and perplexing.

That's good. After I leave, with my skills and good mental state, I doubt the monkey and Danzo will dare to do anything to Igogami.

Instead, they should be worried that Fifty Strings will secretly give them a big one.

"When shall we go and do our next job?" Tsunade asked excitedly.

Isogen tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Let me prepare some strategic materials."

"What is that?"

"A detonating tag worth fifty million."

"..." Mito Uzumaki paused, "Ahem, Yu Ge, Xiao Meiyue doesn't know you're back yet, does she? Go and call Xiao Meiyue over, let's have a meal together."

The fiftieth string responded. He didn't have many flaws; respecting the elderly and caring for the young was one of them.

The Hyuga clan's territory.

Wu Zixuan stepped through the door with a calm expression.

"..." x2

"Did someone just go in?"

"Ugh... He ignored us."

The two Hyuga clansmen guarding the gate fell silent, their cheeks then turning red at a visible speed.

This is outrageous! They're completely disregarding the Hyuga clan!
