The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

[V2] - Chapter 106. Hurry Up and Call the Fourth Hokage

---

On the other side.

Rewind time a bit.

After Madara got up to make deliveries, Hashirama slowly got up too. After all, his work site wasn't far—just next door—so there was no need to get up so early.

Although the land that had been home to their clan for so many years had suddenly been sold off by his own granddaughter, upon learning that the Senju clan's land would be turned into "Senju Park" to bring joy to the villagers…

Senju Hashirama still felt a touch of comfort amidst his melancholy.

After all, they had been dead for so many years, and the Senju clan had only a few people left—what was there left to pursue now?

The establishment of Senju Park could also be seen as the village's recognition of the Senju clan!

And more importantly, it would be built by him—Senju Hashirama himself!

"Well then… I'll be counting on you today, First Hokage-sama!"

"Leave it to me!" Hearing this from the project leader of Senju Park—Shinto Yuki—Senju Hashirama happily patted his chest and said, "I'm very experienced when it comes to building houses. Back when Konoha was just founded, I helped with building a lot of them!"

"Konoha has never forgotten the achievements of the First Hokage-sama!" Shinto Yuki smiled and nodded, then took out the construction blueprints for the project and said, "These are the blueprints for Senju Park. Please take a look, First Hokage-sama!"

To be honest.

If he had a choice, he really would have preferred to pass on this project leader position. Although the First Hokage was indeed his idol and the person he admired the most, there had been no shortage of drama in the village lately.

So deep down, he had a bad feeling… this construction project for Senju Park might—just maybe—run into trouble!

At that moment—

Senju Hashirama frowned as he looked at the construction blueprints, scanning left and right with a serious expression, and said, "These blueprints…"

Before he could finish—

"What is it? Is there a problem?" Shinto Yuki instantly tensed up and quickly said, "If there's any issue, please do tell me, First Hokage-sama!"

"Hahaha~ No problem! No problem at all!" Senju Hashirama laughed awkwardly and scratched his head. "It's just… I don't quite understand them! Hahaha~ I didn't expect construction blueprints in today's ninja world to be so complicated!"

"…"

So that's all?

He thought there was going to be trouble again.

Shinto Yuki let out a breath of relief, gave a slightly embarrassed smile, and looked at the First Hokage. "It's fine! We'll explain everything shortly! Don't worry!"

"That's good to hear! I'm counting on you! This job means a lot to me!"

"It's my honor!" he replied, then glanced at the First Hokage again and hesitated. "Would you like to rest for a bit first, First Hokage-sama?"

"No need! No need! Let's just get the work done quickly so I can get my wages!" Senju Hashirama burst out laughing. "I can't wait to get paid! I wonder how Madara is doing now!"

"Is that so…"

He wouldn't have minded if the project progressed slowly, as long as it could be completed smoothly in the end, but since even the First Hokage himself said that, he had no choice but to comply.

He then shouted loudly to the ninja assistants arranged to help, "Let's begin the work!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

And then—

All the ninjas got to work, clearing away the rubble scattered over the former Senju clan land.

When they saw what was once the vast and grand Senju estate now reduced to ruins, with only a single small house still standing—

Many of the ninjas couldn't help but admire and sigh in awe at the legendary battle between the First Hokage and Madara-sama.

Terrifying!

Truly worthy of being called the God of the Ninja World and the Shura of the Ninja World!

Still, they worked diligently—after all, they were working alongside the First Hokage himself. How could they slack off?

Meanwhile—

Senju Hashirama also got to work, although after some consideration… he didn't directly use Nativity of a World of Trees or Wood Human Jutsu. Instead, he simply used Wood Release to help clear away the debris.

Looking at the once-familiar surroundings… now turned to ruins, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

After all, this used to be his home. But why was the space under the rubble so empty? Could it be that Tsunade, that girl, sold off even the stuff inside the house?

He remembered hearing something about Tsunade being short on money while he was working in Orochimaru's factory, but he hadn't expected… she was this broke!

"Just consider this my final parting gift to you all!" Senju Hashirama sighed with melancholy. "This is something I—Senju Hashirama—should do!"

As he finished speaking—

His expression turned serious, and the strength in his hands increased.

Seeing that none of the disasters he'd feared had occurred, and that the First Hokage was instead working with great dedication, Shinto Yuki also breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of the First Hokage-sama—when it comes to serious work, he never drops the ball!

Soon.

The morning's work was completed, and it was time for a break.

Shinto Yuki began instructing the construction team to rest and get ready for lunch!

"Hehe~ It's really comfortable working here!" Senju Hashirama also received his lunch and squatted down by the site to eat. "I wonder how Madara is doing now!"

Originally, Madara had invited him to do deliveries together and see who was faster, but thinking of the former Senju clan's land... he chose to stay on the construction site. As the former Clan Leader of the Senju, he figured he should take one last look at this place.

Looking at the mostly cleared Senju clan grounds, he sighed again, then lowered his head to continue eating when—

Clap clap clap~

Shinto Yuki walked over with a smile and clapped his hands. "Everyone, gather around! This afternoon, another partner will be joining us!"

However—

That smile faintly carried a hint of reluctance.

What could he do?

The Fourth Hokage had personally called—how could he possibly refuse?

And the Shura of the Ninja World…

Who would dare to say no?

He sighed inwardly but maintained a smiling face. "Let's all welcome them! I hope we can all continue to work well together!"

As the words fell—

Everyone noticed the figure standing beside Captain Yuki.

Instantly—

They all fell silent, with strange looks on their faces.

The First Hokage and Madara-sama… are both here to move bricks?

"Madara! You're here too?" Hashirama, still squatting and eating his bento, blinked in surprise. He stood up with a happy smile. "Why are you here too? Don't tell me the delivery job didn't work out?"

"Hmph!" Seeing Hashirama covered in dust and eating lunch on the ground, Madara snorted coldly and said flatly, "With me personally handling it, how could I fail? I've already received my pay!"

"Amazing! You got paid that fast? I haven't even gotten mine yet!" Hashirama exclaimed in surprise, but without a trace of jealousy. He just kept smiling cheerfully. "It looks like I've got to work harder too!" Then, curiously, he asked, "Madara, how much did you get paid this time?"

"…What's it to you! Anyway, I've already won this round!"

"It's not over yet! How can you say you've won? I'll definitely surpass you later!"

The two of them started bickering again, and Shinto Yuki quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Time to eat! Time to eat! It's lunch break now! Madara-sama, would you like a meal? Once you're full, there's work to do!"

As he spoke, he didn't even wait for Madara to refuse and directly shoved a lunchbox into his arms.

"Eat first! Eat first!"

And Uchiha Madara… actually hadn't eaten yet, so he didn't refuse. He just squatted next to Hashirama and began eating his lunch as well.

Seeing this scene—

The First Hokage and Madara-sama, these two legendary figures of the ninja world, squatting on a construction site eating bentos—Shinto Yuki felt a mix of awe and emotion, but at least for now… it seemed like everything was fine.

[That's right! How could the First Hokage and Madara-sama be the kind of people to mess around so easily? I must've been overthinking! Just overthinking!]

They're legends of the ninja world, after all!

They're sure to carry out the mission well!

And with the God of the Ninja World and the Shura of the Ninja World both helping out, once Senju Park is completed, it'll definitely be something extraordinary.

However—

He didn't know.

That in reality, he wasn't wrong at all.

When those two get together… it always starts serious, and then turns into complete nonsense!

In the afternoon—

Not long after work had resumed—

"Madara! I told you you're wrong! This stuff is supposed to go here!"

"You're the one who's wrong! Hashirama, you big idiot!"

"Madara!"

"Hashirama!"

The ground began to tremble, and the floor they had reinforced in the morning began to crack. As the cold wind howled, all the surrounding ninjas trembled while staring at the two men locking eyes—and at the giant shadows looming behind them.

Why are they even arguing over where to put a brick?

Can't they just put it together?

They quickly turned to their captain, whose face kept turning pale green and blue, hesitating before asking, "Captain! What should we do now?"

"What do we do?! Hurry! Hurry! Go to the Hokage building and call the Fourth Hokage!"

As expected—

These two should never have been put together.
