Hashirama Reborn

Chapter 85 Dilemma

Reito was moved by Hashirama's sincerity. To show his sincerity, he asked Hashirama to take out a wooden box from him. The wooden box was plain, but the contents inside were surprising. Hashirama held the box and stammered: Gold? !

what? !

The ninjas at the side suddenly surrounded and looked at the wooden box in Hashirama's hand. They saw that the palm-sized wooden box was shining with dazzling golden light, which made people dare not look directly at it. In the golden light, there was a box full of golden beans the size of fingernails, shining with attractive light.

Everyone stared at the box of gold sand in amazement, with an indescribable shock in their hearts. If so much gold was exchanged for food, medicine and weapons, how much would it be!

Very satisfied with everyone's shock, Liedou spoke with a normal expression: This is only one third to show my sincerity. After all my people have left the desert safely, I will pay the other portion. After I leave safely, I will also give you the last portion.

Please rest assured, the ninjas of the Wind Kingdom are not people who go back on their word. As long as we can leave safely, all this gold will be yours.

The Senju and Uchiha looked at each other, they were shocked by the gold in the wooden box, and they couldn't help but feel excited when they thought that there were two more. With this gold, the clan members in the clan wouldn't have to live frugally, the injured clan members could recuperate in the clan, they could buy new ninja tools and armor, and they could even have extra money to buy women and children something they liked.

Uchiha Tajima and Senju Buddha's eyes met briefly, then quickly separated, and they said at the same time: Of course, Senju/Uchiha, I will never go back on my word.

Now that they have decided to complete the deal with the puppet masters, they have to discuss it carefully. After some communication, the two clan leaders finally reached a consensus.

In order to prevent Princess Haruyuki from feeling dissatisfied due to the fact that the two clans did not execute the puppeteer on the spot, Senju Butsuma and Uchiha Madara led some members of the two clans to escort Princess Haruyuki to evacuate first, while Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Tajima were responsible for escorting the puppeteers away to complete the transaction. With important figures from each family present on both sides, there was no need to worry about the other side's conspiracy.

Senju Butsuma had already set off with the frightened Haruyukihime. After making sure that they had left, Uchiha Tajima also led the puppeteers whose arms were bound by Wood Release to walk in the rugged desert. The surroundings were filled with panic and the ninjas were alert. Although a deal had been reached, who knew if the enemy would take advantage of their relaxation and suddenly riot, causing an unnecessary dispute?

However, in this vigilant team, Hashirama Senju was an exception. With his signature honest smile on his face, he curiously asked the puppeteer's leader: You obviously have so much gold, why do you still take on such a dangerous mission?

Upon hearing this, Reito looked at Hashirama strangely, and seeing that the other party's tone was not sarcastic at all, he realized that the other party was not deliberately sarcastic but was truly confused. After pondering for a moment, a helpless smile finally appeared on his face. He sighed and said slowly: We live in an oasis in the desert of the Wind Kingdom. The road there is remote and supplies are extremely scarce. All supplies can only be transported in by a special caravan from the Wind Kingdom. Even if we have gold in our hands, we cannot buy food, herbs and other necessities of life.

Actually, we don't want to take this task. Puppet masters are very popular among the nobles in the Kingdom of Wind and there is no shortage of tasks. Moreover, there is a lot of gold in the desert and we are not short of money. But this is the request of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind. If we refuse and offend the Daimyo, the caravan may also refuse to go to our land, and the survival of our people will become a problem.

After hearing this, Hashirama couldn't help but feel sympathy. Looking at Reto's tired but determined eyes, he said with some sympathy: "Your mission has failed this time. Will the daimyo of the Wind Country make things difficult for you after you return? Will he stop the caravan from providing you with supplies?"

Now not only Reito, but everyone in the team couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Senju Hashirama who had a sincere face, wanting to see whether the other party was taking the opportunity to mock him or if he really had a problem with his brain.

The puppeteer's meaning was obviously that the one who wanted to assassinate Haruyuki was the daimyo of the Wind Country, and it was not his intention to go against the Senju and Uchiha. If he let them go, they would never fight back. How did this kid shift his focus to other people's lives?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Hashirama Senju, and they were secretly guessing his true intentions. Did this seemingly honest Thousand-armed boy truly sympathize with the puppet masters' plight, or was he mocking them in a sarcastic tone? However, as they observed more closely, they gradually discovered that Hashirama Senju's expression revealed incomparably sincere sympathy and concern.

His eyes were clear and firm, without a hint of teasing or sarcasm, he stared at Liedou, as if wanting to give him a little comfort with his gaze, his voice was soft and powerful, every word he uttered was full of understanding and sympathy for Liedou's plight.

It must be very difficult to survive in the barren desert. Not only can you not be self-sufficient in food and clothing, but the harsh environment also makes it easy to get sick. Without medicine, the basic safety of the tribe members cannot be guaranteed. They are also forced to follow the orders of the daimyo. I can understand this helplessness and hardship. Hashirama Senju's words revealed deep sympathy.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but... This guy's performance was not false or artificial, it was completely from his true feelings. He really sympathized with the enemy. This guy must be the son of the Thousand Hands Clan leader, is he so naive? Is the future of the Thousand Hands really okay?

Reito seemed a little at a loss in the face of Hashirama Senju's pure kindness. He had seen countless people in his life and was cunning and accustomed to intrigues. However, at this moment, this sudden sincerity and kindness made him feel at a loss.

He widened his eyes and looked at Hashirama Senju carefully, trying to read more information from the other's clear eyes. However, all he saw was sincerity and care, without any falsehood or affectation.

Hashirama looked at Reto's somewhat bewildered expression, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He said happily: Uncle, I have a suggestion. Since there is a shortage of supplies in the desert and you can't buy what you need even if you have money, why don't you consider hiring us.

The Fire Nation has abundant supplies, including basic living materials. The Senju clan is good at making medicine, and we can provide you with herbs. By the way, we can also provide you with other basic living materials and transport them safely to your clan land. You have already seen our strength. Ordinary thieves and desert environments can't do anything to us. If you come once a month, you don't have to worry about medicine anymore.
