Madara, let's change the world together!

After being forced to learn their origins, they realized that these burly men were all members of the Konoha Merchant Guild.

It turns out that a chamber of commerce was established in the commercial street, and many shops joined voluntarily.

Because there are many benefits to joining, more than half of the merchants in Konoha have joined.

This chamber of commerce treats ordinary vendors very well and doesn't force them to do anything.

But it's very unfriendly to those who are involved in lending.

Their borrowing interest rates have been forced to drop several times, and now they can barely make any money.

Moreover, the people from the Konoha Chamber of Commerce came again yesterday and specifically threatened them that they must not lend money to that woman, otherwise they would all be thrown into a river outside Konoha and let them sink to the bottom.

Is the moment that will determine their life or death finally here?

"Oh!"

The wooden door was kicked down.

Tsunade strode in menacingly, only to find several men with ferocious appearances huddled together like frightened rabbits.

"Grandma! Please leave!"

A one-eyed middle-aged man inside cried out.

"If we lend you the money, we won't be able to survive in Konoha!"

"Yes! We're going to be sunk to the bottom of the river!"

That bad?!

Tsunade realized that she might have underestimated Kiyoi Gen's determination to prevent her from drinking.

Who on earth is this person?!

It's just a little debt!

Is this really necessary?!

Meanwhile, inside the Konoha House commercial premises, Kiyoi Gen was tidying up his shop with the help of Kiyoi Ai, Kazesa, and Aino.

Although it hasn't opened yet, Kiyoyuki is really looking forward to it.

Through systematic observation, the development of the City of the Rising Sun, the Land of Rain, and the Land of Water is all very good.

Xiao Hui perfectly took his place, handling every document properly.

Aside from occasionally going back to help out, he can now focus his energy on this area.

Open a shop, receive some important guests, chat with them casually, and if there's an opportunity, take a detour to the first day of the festival; if not, become friends.

In his spare time, he would occasionally go back to visit his mother, Kaguya, and Lan, or bring gifts for Xiaohui and the other wives.

Strolling around here, teasing Aino, Xiao Ai, and Feng Sha, is a unique kind of fun.

However, we can't stay here for too long.

Being attached to the current atmosphere would make him forget that most parts of the world are still very backward and the average life expectancy is less than forty years.

There are still many things waiting for him to do.

He wanted to seize every minute and second, and before he turned sixty, realize the prototype of a unified and happy country!

All those who are born on the first day will build a shared future with him!

"source!"

At this point, Aino was clearly unhappy.

"That hot-tempered woman is here again!"

Oh, that's pretty fast.

Three minutes later, Kiyoshi heard that familiar voice.

"Kiyoshi Gen!!!"

"come out!"

This time, no sound of anything breaking was heard outside.

Five minutes later, Tsunade was led by staff from the commercial area to the front of a shop in Kiyoi Gen that had not yet opened.

This gate looks very strange.

The sandalwood doors and latticed screens cast silhouettes of palace shadows in the sunlight.

It's still pretty.

Tsunade gently pushed open the door.

The first thing that catches the eye is a screen displaying a scene of the Hatsunami-no-Shufu residence in a colorful ink painting style.

The two areas are also decorated with various items, such as white jade and blue-and-white porcelain, incense burners, and paintings.

A profound cultural atmosphere immediately comes to mind.

It's a decoration I've never seen before.

"Come in."

A pleasant male voice came from inside.

Shizune looked around curiously, then followed Tsunade around the screen and into the small living room inside.

Wooden furniture, elegant furnishings, and a man dressed in a black Tang suit with white patterns.

Behind the man were Ai Kiyoi, wearing a white cheongsam with cherry blossom patterns, and Kagura, wearing a white cheongsam with floral and bird patterns.

One is cute and beautiful, the other is tall and sexy.

After changing their outfits, the three of them also had a different demeanor.

Even Tsunade felt that Kiyoi Gen and Kazesa looked more pleasing to the eye after changing into this unfamiliar outfit.

"I haven't completely taken care of things here yet."

Kiyoshi Gen gestured for Tsunade and Shizune to sit on the solid wood sofa opposite him.

Taking advantage of his free time, he meticulously created this room, a blend of elegance and modernity, based on his impressions.

Because he really likes this style.

It carries a cultural charm.

"Tea."

The pre-brewed fragrant tea was pushed out.

The teacup was very different from the one Tsunade remembered; it was a blue and white porcelain teacup.

Watching the tea sway gently, I felt a sense of calm settle down.

"I'm not here for tea!"

"If it were just about debt, there would be no need to go to this extent!"

Tsunade made a displeased expression.

She still doesn't understand Kiyoshi's behavior and thinks he's deliberately picking a fight.

So I wanted to teach Kiyoshi Gen a lesson.

"Indeed, but the Third Hokage was involved in this matter, and I was just doing him a small favor."

Kiyoi Gen adjusted his and Hiruzen Sarutobi's primary and secondary roles in this plan without changing his expression.

? !

That stinky old man!

Tsunade probably guessed why Hiruzen Sarutobi did this.

However, since the person in question is right in front of us, let's ask him first.

At least her normal life should not be disturbed!

"What would it take for you to agree to let them sell me alcohol?"

"And there are loans!"

Kiyoshi Gen calmly took a sip of tea.

"Give me back the money."

"As long as you pay me back, it's fine."

"I have no money!"

Tsunade looked visibly disapproving.

She can pay it back slowly, but you can't stop her from drinking just because she doesn't pay back the debt!

"Then I'll get a job."

Ok?

Tsunade frowned.

work to earn a living?

This option was not even within her range of choices.

Given her status, who would dare hire her except for missions?

Besides, she was unwilling to work for merchants or nobles for money.

"When talking about Tsunade from Konoha, that's probably the first person that comes to mind."

Medical Ninjutsu?

Did she want to treat an illness? But her career as a medical ninja had already ended due to hemophobia.

At this point, Kiyoshi changed the subject.

"As expected, it's still 'stronger' that matters."
