Tobirama fell silent. Truly, when he heard Senya say that this Chunin Exams could bring Konoha an income of one billion ryo, he was completely stunned.
Konoha had a population of only a little over a hundred thousand. Back in his day, its annual fiscal revenue had totaled less than five billion ryo. Of course, Konoha had only just been established then, and life had not been nearly as prosperous, so that was understandable. Even so, in the Shinobi World of that time, it already surpassed the income of every other village.
The remaining expenses had to rely on the daimyo's funding to sustain the village's annual development and construction.
He truly could not understand how Senya had managed to earn so much money through a single competition, so he voiced a question from the depths of his soul.
"Brat, tell me the truth. Are you really sure you can make one billion ryo? If you dare deceive me, I definitely won't let you off!"
Senya smiled, but he understood what Tobirama was worried about. After all, nothing like this had ever appeared in the Shinobi World before. It was normal that he did not understand.
"Then let me properly introduce it to you two. Come with me. I'll take you to the arena, and you'll understand."
"And Tsunade is there too. She'll definitely be happy to see you both."
Senya's words struck directly at Hashirama and Tobirama's hearts.
Yeah, little Tsunade must miss us too...
So Senya had Hashirama and Tobirama change into Anbu uniforms, put on masks, and follow behind him as the three headed toward the arena.
Hashirama silently murmured to himself.
Tsunade, have you been well all these years?
"I'm not fine!"
"I can't calm down at all! How am I supposed to calm down?!
