Holy crap, this is my mansion?

After coming out of the restroom, Mo Chen chased the four women away, not letting anyone stay.

This decision was indeed correct. Because of this, the women specially held a small meeting in the Chat Group, agreeing that they would never lose their composure like that in front of Mo Chen again.

Mo Chen merely glanced over them, not paying too much attention.

Anyway, he held the dominant position. If they wanted Buff effects, they had to make him happy.

As long as Mo Chen was even slightly displeased, he would directly turn them away with a cold face.

After a few more times, they would learn their lesson.

Then it would become habit, and they would put an end to messy situations from then on, starting with Konoha's Four Flowers.

"Mo Chen, how are you feeling?"

A short while later, the Third Hokage came to visit him, his face filled with concern.

Mo Chen wanted to get up and pay his respects, but the Third Hokage pressed him back down.

After learning that Mo Chen was unharmed, the Third Hokage sighed, "I apologize, this was my oversight. I had originally classified your abilities as top secret, but I didn't expect the news to leak."

"Those who ambushed you this time were after your Wood Style. But rest assured, they won't dare to make a move on you again. I've already issued a stern warning."

Mo Chen inwardly rolled his eyes. Just from the Third Hokage's words, he had a good idea that the Third Hokage would probably go easy on Danzou again... no, that wasn't right. He would treat it lightly, raising it high only to set it down gently.

Mo Chen, like many netizens, disliked this old man who always tried to smooth things over. Dealing with him always made him feel sick.

Fortunately, he didn't have much time left. Mo Chen had no intention of saving him.

At this moment, he heard the Third Hokage say again, "The village needs stability. For some veteran contributors, even as Hokage, I cannot punish them arbitrarily."

"You were indeed wronged this time, so I've prepared some things as compensation. I hope you won't hold any grudges because of this matter."

Mo Chen quickly said, "Third Lord, you flatter me. You really don't have to do this. You've already been good enough to me. I only have respect for you in my heart, and absolutely no other thoughts!"

The Third Hokage immediately showed a gratified smile and waved his hand, "This is what you deserve, so don't refuse it."

With that, he took out a document from his robes and handed it to Mo Chen, saying, "This is a property in the center of the village. The house you were living in before seems a bit shabby now that your status in Konoha has risen."

"I was already planning to improve your living environment after some time, so I'm taking this opportunity to give it to you now."

"I've had the furniture in the house replaced with new ones. You can move in directly after you're discharged from the hospital."

Mo Chen took it and looked at it. It was a property deed.

Mo Chen's 'expression changed drastically' and he said, "How can I accept this! Third Lord, this is too valuable, and one shouldn't receive rewards without merit. I am unworthy!"

"No!" the Third Hokage's tone was firm, "As I said just now, this is what you deserve. Your abilities are of great use to Konoha, and there will be many times in the future when we'll need your help. This can be considered an advance benefit for you."

Mo Chen pushed back several times, but under the Third Hokage's insistence, he 'reluctantly' accepted the property deed.

"I can never repay your kindness and recognition, Third Lord!" Mo Chen appeared completely convinced by the Third Hokage, his eyes filled with tears of gratitude, "From now on, if you have any commands, Third Lord, I will give my all to repay your grace."

"That's enough, that's enough. I just hope everyone in the village is well. That is my greatest happiness, haha!" The Third Hokage couldn't help but laugh heartily.

After that, he said a few more words of concern before turning to leave.

Before leaving, the Third Hokage told Mo Chen to rest well and report on his mission to Kusagakure after he had recovered.

Regarding the situation in Kusagakure, Might Guy's Team had already returned to Konoha and reported their findings to the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage already had a general understanding of the situation there and knew that Kusagakure was in no position to come to Konoha for the Chunin Exam, so he wasn't in a hurry to ask Mo Chen.

But little did he know, it was precisely because Kusagakure was in such a dire situation that they had almost decided to move their entire village to Konoha during this Chunin Exam.

After the Third Hokage left, Mo Chen no longer felt like staying in the hospital.

He wasn't injured or sick in the first place. Lying there for a few hours to put on a show was enough.

It was best to spend as little time as possible in places like hospitals.

Of course, he would never admit that he was just eager to see his new home.

From the property deed, he could tell that the house the Third Hokage gave him was not only in a prime location but also occupied a considerable area, over a thousand square meters.

Before his transmigration, Mo Chen was just a low-level office worker, living in a small rented apartment shared with three other people.

A large courtyard of over a thousand square meters? He wouldn't have even dared to dream of it!

Although with his current talent and strength, milk and bread were bound to happen eventually, it still required time to accumulate.

Why not have it now?

Soon, Mo Chen completed the discharge procedures and eagerly found the address on the property deed.

Indeed, it was a huge courtyard, located next to the commercial street, not far from the Hokage's office building, and close to the Ninja Academy.

From the outside, a three-meter-high courtyard wall made of blue bricks enclosed the entire residence.

He could vaguely see many cherry blossom trees planted inside, and a three-story main building in the central area.

The courtyard gate was made of sturdy redwood, carved with exquisite patterns, appearing solemn and elegant.

Two stone lions stood on either side of the gate, majestically guarding the territory.

Mo Chen stood before the gate, looking up at the tall entrance, his heart filled with excitement.

Holy crap, this really belongs to me?

Mo Chen confirmed the property deed several more times before pushing the door open, unable to contain his excitement.

A stone path led to the door, with many cherry blossom trees lining both sides.

Further ahead was a large open space, enclosed by flowerbeds.

But it seemed no one had tended to it for a long time, as only weeds grew in the flowerbeds.

This open space connected to a three-section courtyard. The main central courtyard had a three-story main building, as well as a row of five single-story rooms, which housed a martial arts hall over a hundred square meters in size.

The left and right courtyards were similarly laid out, each with a three-bedroom, two-living-room house and a yard.

After a brief tour, Mo Chen was so excited he was practically dancing.

It was too big, too extravagant, it felt unreal.

This kind of large estate, the Third Hokage actually gave it to him?

Even if it was to appease him, to win people over, this was still beyond the standard, wasn't it?

This kind of mansion was simply not something one person could afford to live in; it would require a large family, or even a small clan, to reside here.

Could it be that the Third Hokage wanted him to start a clan on his own?

Hmm! That's not a bad idea. It's rare for me and the Third Hokage to see eye to eye!

Mo Chen didn't bother to dwell on the Third Hokage's intentions and quickly entered the main building.

The hall was spacious and bright, with a massive redwood dining table in the center, large enough to seat over a dozen people.

A beautiful crystal chandelier hung above the dining table, casting a soft glow.

Several exquisite scrolls hung on the surrounding walls, depicting scenes of Konoha village.

One painting caught Mo Chen's attention. It depicted a woman with long black hair, wearing a Hokage robe and holding a Hokage hat, standing in a cherry blossom grove and smiling into the distance.

"Hashirama?" Mo Chen was taken aback.
