Chapter 99: Formal Cooperation

Chapter 99: Formal Cooperation

After an unknown amount of time, Tamayo Nara suddenly spoke, "Very beautiful, and very elegant..."

Hearing this, Senju Wakama glanced at her, a look of bewilderment on his face, "Excuse me, what are you talking about?"

Tamayo Nara continued, "Ever since I entered the Senju clan's territory, this place has given me a strange sense of disharmony."

"Disharmony?" A look of curiosity appeared on Senju Wakama's face.

"Don't look at my age being similar to yours; I've actually met quite a few Senju clansmen in earlier years." Tamayo Nara looked sharply at Senju Wakama, "If you haven't all been collectively replaced, then... in the past two years, some sort of change has occurred in your clan lands, causing your appearances to change."

Tamayo Nara had many words bottled up inside her.

The lengthy silence just now was merely Tamayo Nara organizing her thoughts.

The Senju clan had changed too much in these two years.

Tamayo Nara guessed that there must have been a major upheaval within the Senju clan, causing everyone in the Senju clan to transform from a group of people originally similar to them into a beautiful species that seemed to have invaded from another world.

The number of handsome men and beautiful women in this Senju clan was astonishing.

Walking through the Senju clan's hot spring resort, just by looking at their faces and temperament, one could tell they were definitely Senju clan members.

That undeniable beauty would make all visitors linger and forget to return.

It was normal for a ninja clan to have one or two beautiful people.

But for the entire clan to be exceptionally elegant and beautiful, this was too abnormal.

This also made the Nara clan members immediately understand why the Senju clan's business could be so incredibly popular.

The advanced and peculiar medical techniques had already placed the Senju clan at an unprecedented height.

In this ninja world, as long as one was human, they could not escape birth, old age, sickness, and death.

People of any social stratum would be willing to befriend a highly skilled doctor, let alone a doctor who was also very "amiable."

And humans are inherently visual creatures; the elegance and beauty of the Senju clan would make any endeavor they pursued achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Hearing Tamayo Nara's words, Senju Wakama's expression remained unchanged, but he cursed inwardly. Senju Tsukuyo had said before that the Nara clan was full of shrewd minds, and one had to be extremely careful when talking to them.

Originally, the two clans were only cooperating on medicinal herb supply.

The Senju clan had broken out of the "employee" model and become a "patron."

And the Nara clan only needed to accept the commission according to their previous model of dealing with patrons.

But Tamayo Nara, simply because of the Senju clan's collective beauty, felt there was something wrong with them.

After a moment of silence, Senju Wakama still maintained a commercial smile, "...Regarding what Miss Tamayo said, it actually belongs to our Senju clan's private secrets and is inconvenient to disclose. However, if your esteemed clan is willing to unite with our Senju clan and merge into a village, then this matter would not be considered a private affair."

As he spoke, the smile on Senju Wakama's face grew even brighter, "You see, our business is booming, and we truly can't have too many hands. How about seriously considering my suggestion?"

Tamayo Nara snorted and said, "I can't make the decision on what you're proposing. Alright, let's cut the idle talk and discuss business..."

Next, the two sides discussed the upcoming medicinal herb supply and price negotiations.

Before extending this commission invitation, Senju Wakama had contacted Senju Tsukuyo, who was far away in the Uchiha clan lands, through a crow.

Senju Tsukuyo replied to Senju Wakama, praising his idea and instructing the crows to fully support Senju Wakama's actions.

Therefore, with the crows' powerful intelligence gathering, Senju Wakama had a thorough understanding of the Nara clan's price bottom line. Then, after discussing with his second older brother, Tobirama, he devised appropriate rhetoric before meeting with Tamayo Nara.

No matter how adaptable Tamayo Nara was, or how many shrewd thoughts she had, faced with the well-prepared Senju Wakama, she could only follow the path laid out by Senju Wakama and Senju Tsukuyo.

Overall, the Nara clan did not lose out in this aspect of cooperation with the Senju clan.

There were no twists and turns; the contract signing was very smooth, yet Tamayo Nara was clearly displeased.

After formally signing the commission.

Tamayo Nara looked at the lengthy scroll content and couldn't help but curse inwardly at the Senju clan's beautiful play on words, yet she was helpless.

Moreover, the medicinal herbs listed on the order, besides a large pile of good medicines, also included a large pile of poisons.

Tamayo Nara knew in her heart that a skilled physician, by precisely controlling the dosage of herbs, could turn poison into good medicine, and good medicine into poison.

Even if the Senju clan's order was leaked, there wouldn't be many people in this world who could concoct the products used by the Senju clan in their medical treatments based on this order.

Furthermore, the transportation arrangements were also clearly written on the scroll.

Each batch of medicinal herbs would be escorted personally by the Senju clan. The Nara clan only needed to periodically pack the herbs according to the quantity in the contract.

However, because the Senju clan would only pay in full after the goods arrived at the Senju clan lands, to prevent the Senju clan from causing trouble, the Nara clan would accept a small deposit and also needed to dispatch their own ninjas to accompany the transport.

The accounts were clearly calculated to avoid future disputes.

This money was truly hard-earned, but the full payment promised by the Senju clan was very suitable. In the current harsh survival environment, the Nara clan could not refuse.

And the Senju clan really knew how to do things.

The contract also stated that in order to maintain a friendly cooperative relationship with the Nara clan, during the contract period, the Senju clan promised the Nara clan three recuperation slots each quarter, with a 70% discount, allowing them to experience three days of nursing care.

Seriously injured Nara clan ninjas could receive the best treatment and care from the Senju clan.

For the Senju clan to dare to sign such a contract, they must truly have the ability.

Tamayo Nara had anticipated this.

After formally signing the cooperation agreement, Senju Wakama, as the host, personally acted as Tamayo Nara's guide and temporarily settled her in his exclusive hot spring villa.

Tamayo Nara also followed local customs, changing into the iconic yukata of the hot spring street and walking with Senju Wakama along the seemingly bustling and prosperous street.

Along the way, Tamayo Nara maintained an unhappy expression and hardly spoke.

Senju Wakama introduced Tamayo Nara to the hot spring district, the grand temple fair with three meals a day, the small street games that ran all day long, and the hot spring street's most popular blind box lottery project among tourists.

After walking through everything, Senju Wakama escorted Tamayo Nara into his hot spring villa.

After leading Tamayo Nara into the inner room, Senju Wakama continued to introduce the facilities here.
