Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 11 Hashirama Senju: I'm about to die

In the end, Tobirama did not teach Yua the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Instead, Yua was given the highest level of authority in the Leaf Village's secret techniques room.

Tobirama placed all the ninjutsu he created in Konoha's secret jutsu room, where all the ninjutsu he created were sealed.

Only those who possess the mark he gave them or the Hokage's seal can enter and temporarily break the seal.

Tobirama inscribed a transparent spell mark on Yua's palm. As long as this hand remains, Yua can go to the secret chamber without hindrance.

Yuya was very satisfied and immediately gave 30 kilograms of gold to Tobirama.

Tobirama took the gold and left without saying a word.

He needs to think carefully about how to use this enormous fortune of 150 million taels of silver.

However, just like last time, Tobirama Senju would not give this money to any family.

Well, whenever someone asks why I still have money, I just say it's what I had left over from last time, and I never mention that I've acquired another thirty kilograms of gold.

Tobirama Senju had suspected that Yua might have hidden some gold, but then he thought that several dozen kilograms of gold was already a lot. Moreover, as Yua said, this gold could not have been mined from a gold mine. After all, during the war, the whole land was turned upside down. If there was a gold mine, how could no one have discovered it?

At least some scattered pieces of gold will surely be discovered by someone.

Moreover, these were the fruits of a child's labor, and Tobirama already felt it was somewhat shameful to take them from Yua, let alone go and search to see if there were any left.

The most important thing now is to quickly convert this gold into benefits for Konoha Village.

Hashirama Senju didn't comment on this. He's been spending less and less time at home lately, preferring to hang out in gambling dens whenever he has free time. Yua used her abilities to turn the stone into gold so he could swindle the people in those gambling dens.

Anyway, those gambling den guys aren't any good either, so it's no problem for Youya to rip them off.

However, an accident occurred a month later, on the first day of the new year.

It's not that Konoha Village lacks entertainment, but it's more accurate to say it has absolutely no entertainment at all.

Well, after all, ordinary people have to work hard just to survive, and they can't even guarantee that they can eat their fill every meal, so naturally they can't spare any extra energy to engage in cultural and entertainment industries or the like.

Therefore, the New Year does not have any special meaning for Konoha Village at present.

Construction on the wetland bridge is still ongoing, and as the bridge gradually comes to completion, no one is willing to take a break.

Because they don't know when this will happen again.

So I want to get what I can get first.

That very night, while Youya was half asleep, he suddenly felt the ground shaking. Thinking it was an earthquake, he quickly got up and ran into the yard in fright.

Then they discovered that there had been no earthquake, but rather that a towering tree had grown from the mansion.

You Ya was full of questions; of course he knew whose handiwork this was.

Hashirama Senju's Wood Release technique is renowned throughout the ninja world.

But what is this thing now?

Using Wood Release directly in your own home?

Youya stroked his chin, wondering if his cheap master and mistress had started fighting again.

Soon, Mito Uzumaki arrived at his room, clearly worried that Yua might be injured.

When Mito's wife saw Yua standing in the courtyard in his pajamas, she breathed a sigh of relief and waved to him.

Yuya walked over and said with a smile, "I thought it was an earthquake, but it turns out it was Master's Wood Release."

Why did Master use Wood Release in his own home?

Mito Uzumaki's expression darkened slightly, then she said to Yua, "Come with me, your master has something to say to you."

You Ya looked completely confused. Why all the fuss?

Then Yua went to Hashirama Senju's room.

Upon arriving, I saw Hashirama Senju scratching his head, looking somewhat embarrassed at the large tree in his room that six people could barely encircle.

However, upon seeing Youya arrive, he still maintained an expression that didn't seem to care much: "Oh, you're here, Youya."

You Ya nodded, but his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the big tree.

Hashirama Senju coughed awkwardly, then knelt on the ground and said to Yua with a serious expression, "Yua, there's something I have to tell you."

Your master... is dying.

Yuya was staring at the tree in a daze and didn't react at first. He nodded perfunctorily, then stared wide-eyed at Hashirama Senju...

"What?! Master, you're kidding, right?!" Yuya stared blankly at Hashirama Senju. "You, you, you don't look like you're about to die at all?!"

Yes, at this moment, Hashirama Senju was full of energy and had a rosy complexion. He didn't look like he was about to die at all.

Hashirama Senju scratched his head and laughed, saying, "I knew you wouldn't believe me. Well, even if you don't want to believe it, it's the truth..."

With that, Hashirama Senju gestured for Yua to kneel down.

Yuya knelt before Hashirama Senju, looking at him with suspicion: "Master, do you owe someone money again and are trying to trick me into paying it off?"

Hashirama Senju's face darkened. "Is your master that kind of person?"

But thinking about it, it seems that I did indeed have this kid help me pay off a lot of debts.

Clearing his throat, Hashirama Senju said seriously, "Do you know Madara Uchiha?"

You Ya was slightly taken aback. Who didn't know Madara?

Nodding, Youya's eyes became even more suspicious. Was this guy trying to change the subject?

Hashirama Senju lowered his eyes and suddenly began to tell the story of him and Madara Uchiha…

"I met Madara when we were little..."

Later, we grew up and became the strongest members of our respective clans. In order for our clansmen to survive, we had to accept employment contracts from daimyo and wealthy merchants. Because of our relative strength, if someone hired our Senju clan, the other party would definitely hire the Uchiha clan...

Later, Madara's younger brother died at Tobirama's hands, and we fought a war that resulted in thousands of casualties.

We were both tired of it.

Thus, creating a village where all families could live together peacefully became our shared ideal.

You know what happened next...

Madara harbored deep hatred for Tobirama, after all, Tobirama had killed his brother.

"And no one voted for him in the Second Hokage referendum, so he felt he didn't belong in the village and left, then fought my final battle..."

After speaking for almost half an hour, Hashirama Senju suddenly lifted his kimono, revealing the skin beneath.

Yuya stared in disbelief at the muscles on Hashirama Senju's chest that were constantly bulging and twisting as if they were alive...

"In that battle, I killed him, but in return... I was also seriously injured, but because of my physical condition, I recovered."

However, it seems something went wrong, or perhaps it's a case of things going to extremes and then reversing; the recovery was too outrageous, causing my body to be devoured, so…”

Hashirama Senju smiled at Yua: "I'm about to die."
