Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 516 Dinner Party and Visit

[Title Page Story:]

Mei Terumi's mentality exploded:

Mei Terumi ordered the collection of information on all eligible men in Kirigakure. The Jonin in Kirigakure were either not strong enough, or if they were strong, they were all strangely shaped. Mei Terumi was a sucker for good looks!

So she decided to collect information on all eligible men.

Mei Terumi: I refuse to believe it!

Can't she find a single man?! How is that possible!

I refuse to accept this!!!

……

Inside the inner city of Konoha, at the Royal Five-Star Restaurant:

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." You Ya's voice came through as he apologized to the group of people who had gathered together, holding his newly developed folding phone.

"It's alright, we just arrived recently," Nara Shikaku said, then asked Yua, "Want a drink?"

"Let's skip it today. If my wife finds out I've been drinking after the dinner, I'll have no peace." You Ya laughed and pulled out a seat to sit down.

"If you ask me, you can't be too lenient with Tsunade." Hiruzen Sarutobi crossed his arms, indicating that Yua's status in the family wasn't great.

Akimichi Torifu laughed, "I don't think Biwako would like to hear that."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression immediately fell.

Well, he's just putting on an act outside. It's been decades, so who doesn't know what kind of person he is at home?

You Ya smiled and said, "Let's order first."

Yamanaka Inoichi handed the menu to Uchiha Kagami, who was standing next to him.

Uchiha Kagami took it, raised an eyebrow at the price, and said, "I have to say, your restaurant is getting more and more expensive..."

You Ya chuckled and said, "This restaurant was set up from the very beginning to rip off rich people."

"These guys are getting richer and richer these days, so it's okay if I swindle them a little, right?"

Uchiha Kagami shook his head with a helpless smile: "You really went too far. A thousand taels for a cup of water... that's really... outrageous."

You Ya laughed: "You don't understand, those rich guys just like this kind of thing. They're not happy if a cup of water doesn't cost a thousand taels!"

Anyway, it's my treat tonight, so order whatever you like.

Everyone else in the private room laughed.

After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally got through to Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane on the phone.

This is one of the few moments of freedom these old guys have left.

They chatted while eating, and also talked about the recent events at the UN General Assembly.

Mitokado Homura gave a very high evaluation to the representative from the Land of Whirlpools.

His view was: find a way to get him to stand on Konoha's side, and if that didn't work, then directly suppress him so that he couldn't access the core of power in the Land of Whirlpools.

"You can handle this as you see fit. Anyway, you have the highest status and the ultimate decision-making power in the Land of Whirlpools. Do whatever you want, no problem."

Then came the recent funeral in the village.

"As for the Hyuga clan, the brothers Hiashi and Hizashi seem to have gone mad lately. Does anyone know what's wrong with them?" Yua asked the others.

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand as he stuffed meat into his mouth: "What kind of obsession could there be? When the mountain that's been weighing on your head suddenly disappears, you'll naturally be excited to the point of madness. Ten years ago, when that old geezer died, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for nights on end."

"You're such a filial son. That's your fifth uncle, isn't it?" Yuya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi speechlessly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed heartily: "What's the big deal? Some of Sarutobi's clansmen might be hoping I'm dead right now."

Everyone else present fell silent.

You Ya sighed after hearing this: "Perhaps there are many people who are hoping for my death."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others looked at Yua at the same time, then shook their heads in unison:

"No, no, no, you can't, no one could think that way." XN

Yuya looked puzzled: "Why? I'm the Hokage, how could no one think that way?"

"Because you are irreplaceable." Koharu Utatane in the video sighed helplessly. "The Daimyo Prefecture is actually very dissatisfied with Konoha Village, but because the benefits you give them every year are too much, they can't resist the temptation, nor can they accept the consequences of not having the money you offer each year. So they have been enduring it. If you die, then some people in the Daimyo Prefecture will definitely have something to say, and the village will fall into chaos."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in agreement: "After you pass away, none of us will agree to another person taking over, so the chaos will definitely continue."

Fortunately...

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Yua and smiled: "I'm 70 years old now, and I won't have to think about these headaches anymore."

Akimichi Torifu laughed too: "Don't you have a conscience saying that? We're all pretty much the same."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand: "I'm just stating the facts. We really don't have much time left. Fortunately, at least I have no regrets."

Everyone else laughed.

Youya sighed inwardly as he watched this scene.

The main purpose of today's gathering is naturally related to the recent passing of some elderly people in Konoha Village.

And it is foreseeable that such incidents will become more and more frequent.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death...

Even Madara Uchiha couldn't escape something like this, so how could these people possibly escape it?

Fortunately, these people were all very open-minded about this kind of thing, and no one had any ulterior motives like going after Orochimaru.

Orochimaru possesses the ninjutsu for immortality.

Everyone here knows.

However, transforming oneself into something neither human nor ghost, neither male nor female, can still be quite a shock to these people's values.

Youya didn't know what choices these people would make when faced with the fear of death, but for him...

He himself would definitely not use Orochimaru's immortality ninjutsu.

Moreover...

He's been working like a beast of burden for so many years; if he really dies, then he can finally relax.

You can't keep being a beast of burden after you die, can you?

With a sigh, You Ya refocused his attention on the dinner party. He raised his juice and clinked glasses with the others…

Nothing happened that night. When they got home, Tsunade had already prepared hot water.

Just as You Ya was about to take a hot shower, the doorbell rang.

Tsunade gestured for Yua to go take a shower first, and she would come and see who was bothering people so late at night.

Youya then went to take a bath.

Ten minutes later, Youya came out wrapped in a bathrobe and found that there was an extra person in the house.

It was Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with excitement as he said to Yua, "Big brother, I've made progress. We're still missing one thing for the mass production of Six Paths Chakra."

"What is it?"

Orochimaru licked his lips and looked at Tsunade beside him: "The cells of Lord Hashirama Senju~"
