As time passed, Washi in the original world was also urging Jiraya to leave the courtyard.

After paying for dinner that day, Minato’s teacher stayed in the courtyard. Although Washi urged him to leave every day, he treated it as nothing. At night, he went to the wooden house where Tomihashi was and slept in the hall of the wooden house.

After a long time, Washi and the others were too lazy to drive him away. As long as this guy had to pay every day, he could stay.

Dong! Dong!

Just as Jiraya was about to give the meal fee to Tomihashi, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard.

Hearing the noise, Tomihashi grabbed the money in Jiraya’s hand and ran to the door, “Who is it?”

“Sama, I am someone sent by Sujo City’s Mayor.”

“There are too many! Give me some.” Jiraya, who had been robbed by Tomihashi, chased after him. He didn’t have much money left, so he could save some money now.

He pried Tomihashi’s palm open and took out a thousand silver coin from it. Then, he nodded with satisfaction. “Alright.”

Tomihashi looked at Jiraya in disgust. He put the remaining coins in his pocket and opened the door of the courtyard.

“Sujo City’s Mayor? Who is that?” Tomihashi did not know the mayor of Sujo City. Even the famous name of Amagakure was not in his eyes. Which famous person could be as famous as the person in this courtyard?

“Sa, sama.” The person outside the door spoke with a trembling voice. His clothes were not luxurious, but there were no patches. It was obvious that he was not a commoner. He should be someone who worked for Sujo City. But even so, these people were still very afraid of ninjas. The ninjas were all people who killed people like flies. None of them were easy to talk to.

“Speak, what’s the matter?” Tomihashi said impatiently when he saw this person speak slowly.

The person outside the door swallowed his saliva before he continued fearfully, “Sir, a few days ago, there was a battle here. I heard from the residents nearby that it was your courtyard…”

Before this person could finish speaking, Tomihashi glared at him, causing him to stop speaking in fear. “What do you mean? Are you going to make us pay for it?”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant.” The man was frightened by Tomihashi’s kick, and his whole body began to tremble, “After the Mayor found out, he specially asked me to come here to find a bigger place for everyone. This courtyard is really too small. The Mayor gave up his residence in the north of the city and asked you to live there.”

“What?” Tomihashi didn’t expect that the other party would bring him good news. The Mayor of Sujo City didn’t know what went wrong with his brain, and he actually wanted to give up his house. “Wait a minute, I’ll go back and ask.”

Tomihashi did not dare to make a decision on this matter. After closing the door, he quickly ran to Washi’s room and gently knocked on the door.

“Washi-sama.”

“Tomihashi? What is it?”

Inside the room, he was looking at the complete collection of Ninjutsu that Hashirama had written to him. After hearing Tomihashi’s voice, he opened the door to his room.

“Sama, there’s someone outside. He said that the Mayor of Sujo City sent this guy over. He wants to give up his own house in north of the city to us.” Tomihashi pointed in the direction of the door and told Washi what the man had just said.

“Give a house?” Hearing this, Washi was also stunned. Recently, his luck had become better?

First, there was an automatic payment by Jiraya. Now, there was a mayor who gave him a house. Was it because he often won during this period of time? He had changed his luck. It seemed that he had to increase his strength and gamble with Tsunade.

“Yes, that’s what he said.” Tomihashi nodded and replied.

Let me go take a look.

“…”

As Washi spoke, he pushed away Tomihashi, who was blocking his way, and walked towards the courtyard gate. Tomihashi, who followed behind Washi, had already arrived in front of Washi, and attentively helped Washi open the gate.

As soon as the door opened, the person who had been standing at the door with a slight bow just now knew that the person who had come was definitely the person in charge of the courtyard. So, when he saw the door open and Tomihashi’s expression towards Washi he greeted.

“Sama, good day.” As he spoke, the man bent down even more.

Seeing this, Tomihashi immediately became angry. What did this mean? Why didn’t he tell me just now?

In fact, this was not the fault of the person outside. If it were for someone else, they would not regard a person responsible for opening the door as the head of a group of ninjas.

“I heard from Tomihashi that your Mayor wants to give me a house?” Washi did not beat around the bush and directly asked this person.

“Yes, sama. Before I came, the Mayor told me to ask sama to accept the house.” This trusted aide did not raise his head to look into Washi’s eyes. Instead, he still lowered his head and said to Washi.

“Alright, I’ll accept it.”

Since they were here to deliver things, Washi had no reason to chase them away. Moreover, this was a house that was given to them. It was a valuable item.

“Ah? Oh! Alright, sama. I’ll go back and tell the Mayor. If he knows that you’ve accepted it, he will definitely be very happy.” When everyone heard Washi’s reply, they were first stunned. They had thought that they would waste their breath.

Before he came out, the Mayor had already warned him that if he did not send the house out, he would not go back. He had lived his life at the Mayor’s place. He really did not dare to imagine what he could do after leaving.

Fortunately, Washi agreed to the Mayor’s gift. Otherwise, he really would not be able to go back.

After this trusted aide of the Mayor left with great gratitude, Tomihashi closed the door and said to Washi in confusion, “Sama, is there something strange about this?”

“Do I need you to tell me? If there’s nothing suspicious, would someone rush over to deliver the house?” Washi patted Tomihashi on the head and said, “Isn’t the north city of Sujo City on the side of the mountain? Other than the Mayor’s Manor that he sent us, there are no other houses. It seems that there are too many houses that have been destroyed these two times. He can’t stand it anymore.”

“But this is also good. The house can also be bigger. It’s still in the city. Not bad.”

After Washi’s analysis, Tomihashi recalled the layout of Sujo City. Apart from the Mayor Residence, there were indeed no other houses in the northern city. The other party’s thoughts should be what Washi-sama was thinking, right?

After this day, the Mayor of Sujo City specially made a trip to the courtyard to discuss the day of departure. The Mayor, who was in his sixties, had a happy expression on his face.

He finally no longer had to listen to the complaints of the merchants and residents every day. After sending these Ninja Lords to the north of the city, he should be able to have some peace and quiet.

In fact, apart from this layer of relationship, the Mayord also had a deeper consideration. He had already seen the previous battle in the residence area. Those big snakes, big trees, and big toads, with one look, were existences with astonishing destructive power. Compared to the previous Amagakure Ninja leader, Hanzo, if he could let these people stay in Sujo City for a long time, then would he also be able to rely on his famous identity?

The Mayor of Sujo City was thinking of letting Washi and the others send him to the famous throne, but Washi did not have the time to pay attention to him.

It had already been more than ten days since he moved out of the courtyard, plus the days when Jiraya stayed in the courtyard, the new Hokage, Hinata, was here, and the day was not far away.
