Torifu understood Hiruzen's concerns. "Don't worry. Our two villages should help each other."
Tobirama chimed in from the side. "That's right. Our two villages should help each other. Konoha is very prosperous these days. Almost everyone has hundreds of thousands in savings, making it one of the wealthiest places in the Shinobi World."

It'd be better to bring
