Hashirama Reborn

After the mission was completed, Hashirama originally planned to go to the Wet Bone Forest to continue practicing fairy arts. However, an unexpected event disrupted his plan. Lord Slug appeared and conveyed Retsu's idea. After careful consideration, he decided to hire Senju and Uchiha to complete the procurement and transportation tasks. He wanted the two tribes to arrive at the border of the Land of Rice in three days to discuss the specific details.

After hearing the news, Senju Butsuma thought for a while and decided to let Hashirama and Tobirama go together. The two children are the hope of the family's future. The content of this discussion is very important, and it is time for them to see it with their own eyes.

Three days later, at the border city of Tian Kingdom

Today is a good day, the sun is shining, the sky is cloudless, the market is bustling with people, the vendors' shouts, the customers' laughter and chattering one after another, what a lively scene. Turning around the bustling market, we walked into a long and narrow alley. At the end, an old house appeared in front of us. After entering the gate, there was only one shabby room in the dilapidated courtyard, but there were a large number of ninjas scattered in various corners around it, looking around vigilantly. Their clan leader was discussing important matters inside, and they had to make sure no one could enter and eavesdrop on any movements in the house.

Unlike the shabby appearance, the furnishings in the room are elegant and solemn. A quaint long table in the middle separates the space. Famous calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, and exquisite works of art are placed in the corners. Every detail reveals excellent taste.

The people sitting around the long table had no intention of appreciating the works of art. Their faces were filled with solemnity and seriousness. After a moment's silence, Lie Dou spoke first and broke the silence: "Today, the two clan leaders are invited to discuss the cooperation between the two clans." As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and unfolded it in the middle of the table. On it were recorded the names of various herbs, armor styles, and supplies such as rice, flour, oil, and clothes.

After making sure the person on the other side could see the contents of the scroll clearly, Reito continued: We hope to purchase one cart of herbs and two carts of armor and other daily necessities on the scroll from the two tribes on a hiring basis, and have the ninjas from the two tribes safely escort these supplies to our tribal territory.

The escort fee for each tribe is 200,000 taels each. The purchase amount will be determined by the type, quantity and integrity of the materials arriving at the tribe's territory. Please rest assured that it will not be lower than the price of the caravan transportation. I wonder if the two tribe leaders think this is feasible.

Thousand-Handed Buddha pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: Thousand-Handed Buddha can provide the herbs on the scroll, a truckload is no problem, but now they are all stocks that have been dried and processed in the tribe’s land. If freshly picked ones are needed, they may have to be planted after next year.

Lie Dou's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists excitedly under the table, and spoke impatiently: "Chief Qianshou, if you can guarantee that the efficacy of the medicine will not be affected, then the inventory does not matter. We are in urgent need of herbs now. If the effect is good, we hope to cooperate with Qianshou next year!"

Seeing that the two of them were already having a pleasant conversation about next year's cooperation, Uchiha Tajima reached out and tapped the table. Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Reito, he curled his lips and smiled: Uchiha can provide armor and all the daily necessities mentioned above. In addition, there is one more thing. I wonder if the puppet masters are interested in it.

Uchiha Tajima smiled and took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms. The box was shining with gold and carved with intricate patterns. In the palm-sized box, the white particles were crystal clear and exuded an enticing sweet fragrance.

sugar!

The people in the room were shocked, and a trace of greed and desire flashed in Reito's eyes. He took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner excitement, looked up at Uchiha Tajima, and said in a firm and powerful voice: Uchiha clan leader, if we can get some sugar, of course we need it, but we don't know how much we can have.

Uchiha Tajima replied in a low voice: Sugar is a rare commodity. Uchiha can guarantee one box every six months. What do you think?

Although Liedou felt a little regretful that the quantity was small, he couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of having a box of candies every half a year. You know, candies are something only nobles can have, not to mention that the Wind Country is short of supplies and it is impossible for them to get them. If they had candies, whether they were given to their employers or to meritorious clan members, it would be a very honorable thing.

Thinking of this, Reito said without hesitation: Uchiha clan leader, thank you for the armor, daily necessities and sugar. If everything goes well, I hope we can have long-term cooperation in the future.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tajima showed a satisfied smile on his face. This box of candy finally played its due role. He stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with Reito, symbolizing the initial achievement of cooperation between the two clans.

Seeing that several clan leaders began to have a more detailed conversation about the specific cooperation matters, Hashirama Senju in the corner of the room couldn't help but move his body and winked at Uchiha Madara in the other corner. He thought that the mission was over and he would not be able to see Madara for the time being, but he didn't expect that they could still stay in the same room now. It would be great if he could go over and talk to Madara.

Uchiha Madara felt the familiar gaze from the opposite side, raised his eyelids, looked at Hashirama's grinning face, and couldn't help but lower his head and curled the corners of his mouth. Izuna next to him was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: Brother Madara, what is the Senju on the opposite side doing, it's so strange.

Uchiha Madara's expression became serious and he replied calmly, "Who knows, Izuna, we just need to listen carefully to the conversation between father and the others. This is a rare opportunity."

Yes!

Hashirama on the opposite side saw Madara's unresponsive face and could not help but want to move over. However, at the moment he was about to take a step, a hand gently pulled his sleeve. Hashirama turned around and saw that it was his younger brother. Tobirama's eyes revealed a hint of worry and vigilance, and he warned in a low voice: Brother, you can't get too close to the Uchiha people anymore, father will be angry, just listen carefully to the adults' discussion.

Hashirama lowered his head, thinking of his father's furious face, and said listlessly: Tobirama, if it is a question of training, I will definitely have no problem, but I really don't understand what my father and others are saying now. Obviously, everyone is planning to cooperate, why do we have to talk so much about this and that?

Senju Tobirama pursed his lips, looked at his eldest brother's dejected face, and couldn't help softening his brows, and said in a low voice: Brother, this is just to accumulate experience, remember as much as you can, and if you don't understand later, just ask father.

Seeing Hashirama trying to concentrate and listen carefully, Tobirama thought silently in his heart, "My brother is very straightforward by nature. It doesn't matter if he doesn't engage in these intrigues. We still have Itama and I. We will never let my brother and the family suffer."
