Gambling Between Daimyo

"Heh, then let's wait and see."

Before his voice even faded, Tajima's figure vanished from the opposite bank.

The moment he saw Hashirama, Tajima's pupils suddenly contracted. "To have recovered to this extent after enduring the same terrifying shockwave?"

Thinking of the current state of the two still being treated day and night in the camp, Tajima's expression grew even more somber.

The next day, Tajima looked at the empty Senju encampment and couldn't help but recall Hashirama from yesterday.

After one last glance at the Senju encampment, Tajima turned and ordered, "The army will return to the clan grounds in one day."

This war, jointly initiated by the Senju and Uzumaki clans against the Uchiha, once again ended with the Senju's defeat.

When this news reached the Uchiha camp, cheers erupted immediately.

And inside a tent filled with samurai, a face that usually held a cold expression showed a rare smile.

"Tiesang, this time my Daimyo has won again."

A moment later, the representative spoke in a deep voice, "Prepare to return to the Daimyo's Mansion."

"Yes, my lord."

At this moment, he could not wait to deliver this good news to the Daimyo.

He imagined the Daimyo would reward him handsomely.

"Kosuke, Mizu, pack up. We will be returning to the clan in one day."

At this time, Mina, returning from the battlefield, rushed to Kosuke's tent without rest, flung open the tent flap, and delivered the news to Kosuke and Mito.

"The war is over? I wonder what the news Shita was sent to gather is like."

"Are we going back to the Uchiha clan grounds..."

The same news gave Kosuke and Mito different thoughts.

Kosuke glanced at Mito, who was sitting by the bed, and seeing her worried expression, he instantly understood her thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Kosuke slowly said, "Mito, after we return to the clan grounds, once I can move on my own, I will have someone escort you back to the Uzumaki clan."

At that instant, Mito's head shot up, her gaze fixed on Kosuke with complex emotions.

Her throat moved, but no words came out.

Uchiha Clan Grounds.

When the news of the main force's victorious return reached them, the clan grounds erupted in cheers.

Kosuke's house.

When the news of victory arrived, the scroll Mina had written was brought back with it.

Uchiha Aoba opened the scroll with an excited heart.

She had thought the message in the scroll would be similar to the one Tajima had sent back earlier, describing how Kosuke had found a beautiful wife for himself.

However, when Aoba saw the contents of the scroll, her aura instantly erupted, and strange, complex patterns appeared in her pupils.

Eternal Mangekyo!

Terrifying Dojutsu, accompanied by Chakra currents, swept wildly through the entire courtyard.

The Plum tree, which recorded Kosuke's height, swayed unceasingly with this frantic airflow.

"Senju!! Very good!"

Upon reading that Kosuke had awakened and Madara had activated his Mangekyo, Aoba's terrifying aura slowly receded.

When the words "Izuna privately called Mito sister-in-law" and "Mito took care of Kosuke day and night" appeared before her eyes, the imposing aura that had filled the courtyard instantly vanished, replaced by a joyous laugh.

"This daughter-in-law, I, Aoba, have chosen her. Hahahaha..."

After finishing the information on the scroll, Aoba immediately formed hand seals for the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

With two "bang" sounds, two plumes of white smoke rose in the courtyard.

"You go to the market to buy food and exquisite fabrics. You clean up the courtyard and prepare a room next to Kosuke's room, setting it up as a young lady's boudoir."

The two clones stared at the main body with doubt, and said in unison, "Then what will you do?"

Aoba's standing body stiffened. She hadn't expected the clones to say such a thing.

"Of course, I'm going to order a new set of gentle and proper clothes for myself, and a few sets for my future daughter-in-law."

"No, we're doing the work while you go order pretty clothes?" The two clones instantly exchanged glances. "We are also Kosuke's mother, Mito's future mother-in-law. Why shouldn't we go?"

"What?" Aoba stared at the two clones in disbelief. If she hadn't known their identities, she would have thought she was hallucinating. "I am the main body, and I have the final say!"

"Fine, you have the final say."

Just as Aoba thought the clones had compromised, they continued, "Then you do it yourself. We're going to make our own new clothes and prepare beautiful outfits for our daughter-in-law."

"Stop!" Aoba immediately grabbed the two clones. After thinking it over, she still couldn't decide to dismiss them, as she didn't know if the next two clones would be the same. "In that case, I'll help you make your clothes too. Different styles, how about that?"

"We can help you make a set too. Why does it have to be you?"

The two clones asked Aoba in surprise.

Her head was about to explode from the situation. Her tone couldn't help but rise a few notches. "Do you have money? Huh! If you don't have money, what are you talking to me about! Go work! This is the money for you to buy food and fabric."

After Aoba finished speaking, she took out several banknotes from her embrace and slapped them onto the stone table in the courtyard, stirring up a faint cloud of dust.

Then, before the Two Clones could react, Aoba's figure instantly disappeared.

The two people remaining in the courtyard looked at the banknotes on the stone table and exchanged glances. "The main body actually has a point. I'll go buy things then."

The other clone stared blankly as the first one disappeared from the courtyard with the banknotes. He sighed and turned to tidy up the house.

"Lord Aoba, what kind of style are you looking for?"

At this moment, Aoba was in a Ready-to-wear shop in the Clan grounds market. The owner was patiently introducing her to the popular styles in the Ninja World.

"Boss, I want to make a style that can show how much I value my Future daughter-in-law. Do you have anything like that?"

"Future daughter-in-law?" The boss looked at Aoba, who was beaming with excitement. "No wonder I saw Gen Crow flying around my shop as soon as I opened today. So, Captain Kosuke is in love."

Immediately, the boss excitedly introduced Aoba to the shop's prized possession.

"Lord Aoba, if that's the case, I think wearing this style will definitely show your importance to her. Moreover, this is the most popular outfit in the Ninja World Daimyo's Mansion right now. It's guaranteed to make you shine in front of your daughter-in-law."

Aoba listened to the boss's introduction and ignored the matter of Gen Crow that the boss had mentioned earlier. "How much for three sets?"

Three sets?!

A big customer!

The boss's excited heart trembled, and her hands trembled, instantly revealing her current mood. "500,000! 500,000 per set!"

I'm rich, I'm rich, hahahaha, is today my lucky day?!

"Oh?" Aoba narrowed her eyes slightly and calmly watched the excited boss, saying nothing.
