Chapter 31 Two hundred million taels

After leaving the training ground, Gen Uchiha went to the police department.

There was no way, after the matter was done, he would definitely have to reply to Uchiha Fugaku.

Along the way, Gen Uchiha was in a very happy mood.

He indeed wanted eternal life, and Orochimaru had no doubt that this was what he expected.

First of all, from Orochimaru's perspective, he doesn't know that Orochimaru wants to live forever.

Then the goal of eternal life is too unrealistic and crazy in the eyes of the world. If you say it, you will basically be regarded as a madman, just like Orochimaru is regarded as a crazy madman by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If you don’t want eternal life from the bottom of your heart, who would say it at the risk of being considered a lunatic?

Sarutobi Hiruzen deprived Orochimaru of the possibility of inheriting Hokage simply because he saw evil and ambition in Orochimaru's eyes.

He told Orochimaru, who was a disciple of Hokage, about his dream of eternal life. In Orochimaru's view, he took a huge risk.

All things considered, Orochimaru would naturally not suspect that he was telling lies.

Back at the police department, Gen Uchiha knocked on the door of Uchiha Fugaku's office again.

"Come in."

"Young patriarch."

Uchiha Gen entered and closed the door, bowing slightly.

"It's Xuan, how did things go?"

Uchiha Fugaku raised his head, a smile forming on his serious and cold face.

"It's done."

"Orochimaru-sensei said that as long as the support for Minato-senpai does not exceed the amount of money given to him."

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly became happy, smiled and praised: "Xuan, you did a good job."

Now, no matter who becomes the Fourth Hokage, their Uchiha family will be invincible.

"This is not just my credit, the young patriarch's credit is even greater."

"If I hadn't met the young patriarch who has a broad mind, a long-term vision, and decisive decisions, I would have nowhere to put my talents to use..."

To put it this way, in fact, Uchiha Gen didn't think much of Uchiha Fugaku...

After all, the Uchiha clan was destroyed when he came to power. How could there be no problems at all?

In his opinion, Uchiha Fugaku had many problems, such as having great ambitions but little wisdom, being fierce and timid, indecisive, and hesitant to look forward and backward.

Of course, Uchiha Fugaku didn't have no talent at all, he just lacked ability and strength.

Uchiha Fugaku smiled even more happily when he heard this, his face smiling like a sunflower.

He likes this young man who knows how to advance and retreat, and who is measured. People who are arrogant and arrogant will not get far.

"Don't be too modest. It's mainly due to your contribution. The clan will never forget it."

Uchiha Xuan smiled shyly, and then said seriously: "Young clan leader, Master Orochimaru asked me to go to his mansion tomorrow afternoon, which should be a formal apprenticeship."

"How much do you think is appropriate for me to pay?"

Uchiha Fugaku pondered slightly and then said: "Be generous the first time and take 200 million taels."

"In the future, payment will be made in banknotes or gold, depending on the research situation."

"You take the document I issued and go to the clan treasury to withdraw it."

Two hundred million taels is definitely not a small amount, it is an astronomical figure for ordinary ninjas.

Even if a small ninja family is sold including all their belongings, it may not be worth so much.

One tael is equivalent to 10 yen, which is equivalent to 100 million soft sister coins at an exchange rate of 20:1.

Is the research funding of 100 million soft sister coins considered small?

Uchiha Fugaku's move is absolutely bold and generous!

"Yes, young patriarch."

"By the way, Xuan, don't forget the family gathering the day after tomorrow."

"Don't worry, young patriarch, you won't forget."

The Uchiha clan has a regular gathering once a month. As long as the clan members in Konoha are not allowed to miss the gathering without any excuse, it is just like Christian worship. It is a long-standing tradition.

Everyone from the Hokage to the genin knew about this, and they could even use the gathering as an excuse to refuse the mission that day.

After receiving the documents from Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Gen left the police department and returned to the clan's treasury to withdraw money.

All the banknotes were packed with the maximum face value of 10,000 taels, which filled two large boxes.

Holding 200 million taels worth of 100 million soft girl coins, Gen Uchiha was quite excited. After all, he had never seen so much money in his past life.

If there was a system that made you stronger with krypton gold, he would definitely be unable to help but cut off some of it.

Precisely because Goldfinger became stronger without krypton gold, when Gen Uchiha brought the money home, not only did he not intercept it, but he also used part of it from his own savings.

Since you want to increase Orochimaru's favorability, then do it to death!

…

In the afternoon of the next day, Gen Uchiha carried the cash box to Orochimaru's mansion.

Orochimaru was still rich after being a ninja for so many years, and he built a large villa in the center of Konoha.

This villa is quite close to the Sarutobi clan's clan and Jiraiya's and Tsunade's residences in Konoha.

Gen Uchiha rang the doorbell, and Anko soon opened the courtyard door.

"You're here, come in quickly." Hong Dou said with a smile on her face.

"Well, is Orochimaru-sensei here?"

"Yes, right in the living room."

"What's in the box?"

"You'll find out later."

The two of them walked and talked, and soon entered the living room of the villa.

How should I put it, Orochimaru's villa was decorated in a rather underworld way, and the curtains were not opened during the day, the light was dim, and the temperature was significantly lower than the outside, making it look a bit cold and eerie.

But then I thought about it and it was normal that this was Orochimaru's residence. Snakes just like cool and dark environments.

It is worth mentioning that Hongdou does not live here and has his own separate residence.

"Orochimaru-sensei."

Gen Uchiha bowed slightly when he saw the figure wearing a light yellow kimono sitting on his knees in the living room.

Orochimaru nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his pale and bloodless face, and a low and hoarse voice sounded.

"Um."

"Toast me a glass of wine, and you will be my disciple from now on."

The apprenticeship ceremony in the ninja world is not complicated, and ninjas don't have the time to go through those fancy procedures, and the ceremony is not fixed. Basically, every teacher will follow their own ideas.

"yes."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen put down the box and knelt down at the low table. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured it into the wine glass. He raised the wine glass with both hands and handed it out.

Orochimaru smiled, reached for the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and then placed it on the table.

Uchiha Gen stood up, carried the two boxes and placed them next to Orochimaru and said: "Teacher Orochimaru, this is the research fund given to you by the clan, a total of 200 million taels."

"Because it's the first time, there are more."

"In the future, depending on the teacher's research needs, the Uchiha clan will try their best to satisfy them and pay with banknotes or gold."

As he spoke, Uchiha Gen opened the box with both hands, and neatly stacked banknotes emerged. Although there was no dazzling light of gold, it was still shocking!

"Wow, so much money..."

Hongdou suddenly rushed over from the side and lay down next to the box, his eyes gleaming, as if he couldn't see the countless meatballs, red bean soup, and desserts.

Orochimaru acted much calmer than Anko. After all, he was a shinobi who had seen the world, but he couldn't help but feel a little frightened by the Uchiha clan's bold actions.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the most powerful ninja family in the ninja world with a thousand-year heritage. The nobles of the Land of Fire have a profound background!

"Hey, what's going on with all this loose money?"

Orochimaru glanced at a stack of banknotes in another cash box that was out of place with the banknotes neatly stacked around him, and couldn't help but raise his head and ask.
