"Rokuro, how is Konoha Village?"
Just as Kanda Rokuro was about to walk out the door, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly asked a question.
Sigh!
This trick again!
Hiruzen and Danzo are truly best friends.
Rokuro felt helpless inside, but on the surface, he turned around with a puzzled look. "Why ask this all of a sudden? Isn't Konoha Village pretty good?"
Hiruzen smiled. "I'm asking you how living in Konoha Village is. Is there anything you need help with? I can provide you with some assistance!"
Rokuro hesitated for a moment and asked, "Really? My request might be a bit excessive!"
Uh!
You actually have a request!
Hiruzen was a bit speechless. He coughed and said, "Tell me about it. If I can do it, I will!"
Rokuro immediately said, "Well, I want to live in a mansion in Konoha Village. The mansion should be big, with a training room inside. It would be best if it's in the center of the village!"
Uh!
Hearing this, Hiruzen was somewhat speechless.
But at the same time, he felt quite happy.
That Rokuro wanted to live in Konoha Village meant he had a sense of belonging to Konoha.
This was the most important thing.
He thought for a moment, looked at Rokuro, and said, "I can arrange it, but you have to pay. I heard you got 20 million ryō from the Hyūga Clan. Give me half, and I'll give you a place to live!"
Rokuro's face darkened. "Lord Hokage, you said you were helping. Why do you still want money?"
Hiruzen rolled his eyes at Rokuro. "I'm already doing you a huge favor, okay? A mansion in the village, near the center... where could you buy that for 10 million? It would cost at least 30 million. Charging you only 10 million is already very cheap!"
Uh!
That is indeed true!
Rokuro glanced at Hiruzen and snorted coldly. "Fine, I'll buy it then. Where is the mansion located? Don't give me some run-down place!"
Hiruzen nodded and smiled. "Isn't there a large vacant lot to the left of the Ninja Academy? You can build whatever you want there. Sounds good, right?"
Rokuro's face turned completely black. "Lord Hokage, you are too shameless! Selling a piece of empty land for 10 million!"
Hiruzen shrugged. "You're getting a huge bargain. I originally planned to use that place to build a small commercial street. Someone offered 50 million for it, and I didn't sell!"
Commercial street?
That place seems... not too far from the main commercial street in the city.
If I build a commercial street there, I shouldn't have to worry about business. By then, I could become a major landlord in Konoha.
Thinking of this.
Rokuro's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Lord Hokage, it's a deal then!"
Looking at the excited Rokuro, Hiruzen curled his lip. "Brat, don't tell me you want to build a commercial street too?"
Rokuro's eyes went wide. "Lord Hokage, are you going to manage even this small matter? I've already bought the land anyway. What I build on it should be my own business, right?"
Hiruzen couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Suit yourself. Don't blame me if you can't sell anything later. I won't pay for your failed business. If you run out of money then, earn it yourself!"
Rokuro pouted.
With his knowledge from Earth, doing a little business would guarantee he made a fortune. How could he possibly lose money? He had already decided to build a nightclub there. He'd hire a bunch of busty beauties and earn all the Konoha ninjas' money!
Let the Konoha ninjas all work for him.
The more I think about it!
The more exciting it feels.
Controlling Konoha through economic means.
That's a pretty good idea.
However!
Building a house costs a lot of money.
After buying the land with his money, it seemed he wouldn't have enough left.
Sigh!
Thinking and thinking, Rokuro looked at Hiruzen and said, "By the way, Lord Hokage, I think I should be able to learn the Mystical Palm Technique very quickly. I wonder if you could let me intern at the Ninja Hospital when I have free time? I want to test how effective my healing is!"
Hiruzen instantly recalled the little bird that was healed to death by Rokuro. He coughed and said, "It is possible, but before you go, you must pass my test first!"
Rokuro nodded. "That's no problem. My strength is absolutely, definitely no problem..."
Hiruzen shook his head.
Rokuro spent a whole day just controlling his Chakra and consumed so much mental energy doing it. How could he learn the Mystical Palm Technique quickly?
Girls with naturally stable Chakra were the ones who found it easier to learn the Mystical Palm Technique.
However!
He wouldn't discourage Rokuro. He smiled and said, "Alright, go back and rest then!"
Rokuro waved to Hiruzen and turned to leave.
This time!
He really left.
Hiruzen waited until Rokuro walked out of the Hokage Building, then asked Kakashi beside him, "Well, Kakashi? Can you tell what this brat's attitude toward Konoha is?"
Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "I think he likes Konoha very much. He shouldn't betray the village!"
Hiruzen smiled. "Uh, I think so too. He has no rejection of Konoha in his heart. However, I feel like he... seems quite dissatisfied with me!"
Kakashi coughed to remind him, "Lord Hokage, that brat is Elder Danzo's confidant!"
Uh!
Hiruzen felt somewhat helpless.
It must be that guy Danzo, badmouthing him in front of Rokuro every day, that caused this.
Truly depressing!
