Chapter 98: Tamayo Nara

Chapter 98: Tamayo Nara

Having dealt with his old father, Senju Wakama emerged from the study.

Breathing in the fresh air outside, a smile similar to his sister's appeared on Senju Wakama's face.

The clan head's mansion had been rebuilt.

Compared to Senju Tsukuyo's castle in the sky.

The clan head's mansion was still situated on high ground.

Walking out of the study and onto the corridor, Senju Wakama could overlook the clan lands below.

Standing here, one could clearly see the spectacular forest of giant grass, the bustling hot spring resort, and the solemn, fairyland-like Senju clan grounds.

Recalling the origin of these buildings, a peculiar expression appeared on Senju Wakama's face.

Although these buildings looked beautiful and sturdy, their color was fundamentally different from the simple wooden structures outside.

This was an entirely integrated complex of buildings constructed by Senju Tsukuyo using her Wood Release.

However, Senju Tsukuyo regretted that the material she actually wanted to use was the Kaguya clan's Kekkei Genkai from the Land of Water, "Shikotsumyaku."

But, due to various reasons, Senju Tsukuyo had not yet hired the Kaguya clan to come over as construction workers.

The Kaguya clan belonged to the "Explicitly Psychotic Ninja Clans." Every single one of them was not quite right in the head. Because their Kekkei Genkai involved bone hyperplasia, with bones breaking out of the body, it was accompanied by pain.

Enduring such pain long-term made them more prone to psychological abnormalities than ordinary ninjas.

Black Zetsu had once told Senju Wakama that using the Kaguya clan to build houses was standard procedure for Senju Tsukuyo.

However, before awakening the Sharingan, Senju Tsukuyo could not hire the Kaguya clan.

The buildings Senju Tsukuyo designed were integrated. She needed "Shikotsumyaku" to instantly construct large-scale building complexes with intricate internal structures. This required her to use the Sharingan's genjutsu to transmit the internal shape of the building complex to the Kaguya clan members carrying out the construction.

Senju Tsukuyo was responsible for providing the "form design," while the Kaguya clan provided the "building materials."

Only with the cooperation of both parties could the buildings Senju Tsukuyo desired be constructed.

But the prerequisite was that she had to obtain the Sharingan first.

Precisely because the Sharingan had not yet awakened, Senju Tsukuyo had not gone to invite the Kaguya clan.

Once Senju Tsukuyo returned with the Sharingan, the clan lands would be renovated by her.

Senju Wakama gazed at the monumental achievements established in just a few short years, a gentle smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

In the following days.

Senju Tsukuyo remained in the Uchiha clan's territory.

Every day, she would have crows deliver letters home; her father and brothers each received a letter from her, with different contents.

Senju Butsuma seriously considered Senju Wakama's previous proposal and prepared to send out mission requests to other ninja clans.

The matter of the Senju clan changing professions had actually already spread.

They needed their medicinal herb supply to become more rational.

However, since this plan was proposed by Senju Wakama, Senju Butsuma directly let him communicate with the Nara clan.

Senju Wakama sat with a calm expression in the luxurious inner room, meeting the representative from the Nara clan who had come to negotiate with him.

Sitting opposite him was a young girl about the same age as Senju Wakama.

When they exchanged names, she introduced herself as Tamayo Nara.

The Senju clan had written to the Nara clan, proposing a mission commission and inviting them to send someone to the Senju clan's hot spring resort for negotiations.

And the Nara clan, instead of sending an adult, had sent this young girl before him to negotiate.

This gave Senju Wakama an indescribably strange feeling.

The girl before him had smooth black hair hanging down, braided at the temples. Her eyes were calm, yet held a three-tenths disdainful contempt for all beings. She had naturally smiling lips, and her features were quite delicate, but combined with her strange expression, she had an overall look of suffering, making one wonder if they owed her a hundred or eighty thousand.

Senju Wakama was the host; Miss Tamayo was the guest.

A commercial smile appeared on Senju Wakama's face as he gracefully brewed tea in his usual manner.

After pushing the tea to Tamayo Nara, Senju Wakama spoke first, "Thank you to the Nara clan for providing a valuable opportunity for cooperation. So... Miss Tamayo, are you the person in charge of this cooperation?"

Tamayo Nara looked up at Senju Wakama and said, "What exactly is your Senju clan planning?"

Her voice was slightly cold, making it difficult to discern her emotions.

A puzzled expression appeared on Senju Wakama's face.

But Tamayo Nara picked up her teacup, her gaze fixed on the bright yellow tea, and said softly:

"As early as a year ago, your Senju clan was renowned for the ultimate service in medical care. All the major nobles of the Land of Fire held you in high esteem."

"At that time, to carry out your medical enterprise, you must have consumed a large amount of medicinal herbs."

As she spoke, Tamayo Nara put down her teacup, looked up at Senju Wakama, and said, "You didn't cooperate with any medicinal herb suppliers back then. Moreover, your gimmick has always been herbs cultivated by 'Wood Release,' herbs imbued with vitality that can prolong life."

"Our Nara clan doesn't have a Kekkei Genkai like Wood Release; we cannot cultivate the 'divine medicine' you require."

She emphasized the term "divine medicine."

Senju Wakama even detected a hint of mockery in the word.

However, Senju Wakama had long been prepared. He still wore a smile, "Miss Tamayo is right. Currently, only my eldest brother and my younger sister have awakened the 'Wood Release' Kekkei Genkai."

"Even within the Senju clan, only these two have it; no other clansmen have awakened Wood Release."

"We have to prepare for a rainy day. Herbs cultivated with vitality are naturally worth a fortune, and their effects are, of course, more outstanding. The cost is not low, so customers naturally have to pay more when they enjoy them."

"But our Senju clan plans to use some ordinary medicinal herbs as substitutes, so that even in the absence of 'Wood Release' cultivated herbs, our medical operations will not be disrupted."

"Using slightly inferior quality herbs still has some effect, just not as significant."

"Originally, using 'Wood Release' herbs might only require one treatment session. With ordinary herbs, it might take three or four recuperation sessions to achieve the same effect."

"The frequency is a bit higher, but the final result can still meet the customers' health needs. At the same time, using ordinary herbs can also reduce the price of medical products. I believe some customers will still be willing to accept this."

Senju Wakama spoke reasonably. Tamayo Nara narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought.

Seeing her remain silent, Senju Wakama continued, "Miss Tamayo, do you have any concerns? Why not voice them?"

Tamayo Nara stared at Senju Wakama, falling into a long silence.

Senju Wakama wasn't anxious either. He continued to boil water and brew tea. Even if Tamayo Nara didn't drink, Senju Wakama would still refill her cup.

Initially, the teacup was only three-quarters full. Since Tamayo Nara didn't drink, Senju Wakama added less tea when refilling.

Tamayo Nara silently watched Senju Wakama's movements, as if admiring some performance.

Before long, Tamayo Nara spoke...
