Chapter 168 Fund, Hand, Asura
Chapter 159 The Fund, Thousand Hands, Asura
After spending a tender moment with Tsunade, Xingyuan Qianshuo calmed down and began drafting the charter for the charity foundation.
The general principles, scope of business, organizational structure, responsible persons, and property management and use gradually took shape in his writing.
At this stage, which is still in its early stages, it is not necessary to be too formal. It is sufficient to write a report and submit it to the third generation for review and approval.
As for the person in charge of the foundation, he decided to invite Nono to take the position, as there was no one more suitable than her.
The only concern is her identity as a member of "Root".
However, this does not affect the fund's operations. Moreover, he believes that the problem will be resolved soon.
After finishing the charter, Xingyuan Qianshuo handed it to Tsunade for review.
"Nonou? You actually thought of her?" Tsunade asked, somewhat puzzled. "She should have already joined 'Root,' so she's practically one of Danzo's people."
"It's alright, this is just a charity fund operating within the village," Hoshino Sensaku said with a smile. "Nono came from an orphanage, is kind-hearted, and capable enough."
"Fine, it's up to you." Tsunade didn't seem to care much.
"Okay, I'll go talk to her first, then submit the charter to the Third Generation."
"I won't go to the old man's place anymore, you should take him." Tsunade chuckled. "He can probably guess it was your idea, so it's most appropriate for you to go."
"it is good."
As he left Tsunade's office, he sensed Nono's location—she was in the inpatient ward.
"Nonou, good morning. Do you have time? There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Good morning, Chisaku. Please feel free to ask what's wrong," Nono replied with a gentle smile.
"Let's talk over there."
Xingyuan Qianshuo led her to a secluded corner and calmly said, "Tsunade and I plan to establish a 'charitable foundation' to specifically help the elderly living alone, families in need, and orphans in the village. We currently need someone to manage it, and we would like to invite you to oversee its daily operations."
"Ah—" Nonou looked surprised. "This—can I do it?"
"You can definitely do it." Xingyuan Qianshuo handed her the documents in his hand. "This is the foundation's charter. There will be about ten million taels of silver flowing in every month. You need to liaise with the village administration to screen families in genuine need for assistance, including orphanages."
"So many?" Nono took the documents and carefully flipped through them.
"As the person in charge, you can recruit suitable villagers to participate. Staff will also be paid wages."
"This is charity work, I can't accept a salary," Nonou said instinctively.
"No, charity and wages are not mutually exclusive. If you don't take a salary, it's also difficult to handle the compensation for others," Xingyuan Qianshuo said with a smile. "Once you receive your compensation, it's your freedom to donate it to an orphanage or save it yourself."
"Oh, you're right." Nono sticks out her tongue lightly.
She always felt relaxed in front of Xingyuan Qianshuo—perhaps because he was a kind-hearted peer.
"So, how about it? Are you willing to take on the role of person in charge?"
"Then I'll give it a try." Nonou pondered for a moment, then nodded. "However, my work at the hospital—"
"We'll discuss this with Dean Biwako later." Hoshino Senju thought for a moment. "Tackling both at the same time might be too tiring. I hope you'll focus on the foundation's work."
"Okay, that's fine."
"You go ahead with your work. The fund is still in the preparation stage. Feel free to contact us anytime if you have any questions."
"Okay, thank you, Chisaku. Please also thank Lady Tsunade for me." Nono bowed in thanks.
The fund first benefited the Konoha Orphanage, and she was filled with gratitude.
"No need to be so polite," Xingyuan Qianshuo said with a smile. "Everything will be alright."
After saying that, he turned and left, preparing to pay his respects to the Third Generation Leader.
"Everything will be alright—"
Nono watched his departing figure and repeated softly.
She had heard him say those words twice before. But this time, a different kind of warmth welled up inside her.
Knocking on the Hokage's office door again, and hearing that familiar "Come in," Hoshino Senju pushed the door open and entered.
"Good morning, Third Hokage."
"Chisaku, did you have fun last night?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a smile.
"I'm sorry to have amused you," Hoshino Senju replied with a smile. "I never expected Tsunade's gambling luck to be so amazing. She's always loved gambling, and she used to always lose, but now she's winning money one after another. I hope she can use this luck to help others."
"Yes, you are a kind-hearted child." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.
Although the family income suffered a loss, he could not oppose this charitable act.
"Third Hokage, these are the charter for the charity fund that Tsunade and I drafted. Please take a look."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took it and quickly glanced through it. The charter was well-organized and its contents were clear, but his gaze paused slightly when he saw the name of the person in charge, "Yakushi Nonou".
He recalled his previous investigation into Nono—she was a member of "Root" and a rare and outstanding intelligence talent.
He wasn't sure if Tsunade and Senju were aware of this, but after a moment's thought, he ultimately decided not to remind them.
"Yes, that's fine." After reading it, Hiruzen Sarutobi approved it, signed it, and stamped it.
Then, he picked up a small stack of documents from the side: "These are authorization letters for several casinos in Konoha. Take them back with you."
Xingyuan Qianshuo was slightly surprised.
I didn't expect the third generation and those families to act so quickly.
"Thank you for your help." He took the documents and bowed in gratitude.
"You are also doing good for Konoha, so please take it seriously."
"Yes, Third Hokage." Hoshino Senju replied solemnly, "The charity foundation welcomes the Hokage to come and guide our work at any time."
"Haha, okay."
Xingyuan Qianshuo glanced at the documents a few times, then bowed and took his leave without lingering any longer.
Hiruzen Sarutobi watched him leave, took a deep drag on his pipe, and the images of his three disciples floated into his mind.
"Once this charity foundation is publicized, Tsunade's reputation will definitely rise. This is a good thing—without the weakness of hemophobia, Tsunade is indeed the most suitable to succeed as the Fourth Hokage."
Previously, he had sent Shinnosuke to inform the families behind several casinos in Konoha. After learning the details of Tsunade's winnings the previous night, those families all agreed without objection to hand over 10% of the shares.
If it were an ordinary person, they could simply turn them away from the casino. But since the other party was Tsunade who won the money through her own skill, they could only accept their fate.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered that his old partner, Danzo Shimura, hadn't come to argue this time.
He shook his head and chuckled, thinking, "This old partner is probably sulking right now."
Xingyuan Qianshuo put the documents into his personal space and mentally analyzed the reactions of each family.
He estimated that these families could also see the possibility of Tsunade succeeding as the Fourth Hokage. He considered this money as a way to build Tsunade's reputation and pave the way for her charitable endeavors.
It's not worth risking a rift between the clan and Tsunade for such a small gain, leaving a bad impression.
Although this incident was accidentally triggered while accompanying Tsunade to the casino, he also had the idea of using it to test the waters.
However, he didn't care too much. As his strength rapidly improved, he was able to handle both village affairs and the situation in the ninja world with ease and composure.
What we really need to focus on is continuing to improve our strength so that we can face beings like Madara Uchiha, Isshiki Otsutsuki, and Kaguya Otsutsuki with composure as soon as possible.
Back at Konoha Hospital, he handed the documents to Tsunade.
"Hahaha!" Tsunade happily flipped through the authorization certificates.
This is the money she won through gambling. Having lost at these casinos since childhood, she's finally turned her luck around and is extremely happy.
"Hmph, let's see who dares to call me 'fat sheep' behind my back now." Tsunade raised her chin triumphantly.
"Yes, from now on you'll be the 'Konoha Gambler'," Hoshino Senju chimed in.
"This name is really good, I'll use it from now on!" Tsunade laughed even more heartily.
Then, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Qian Shuo and said sweetly, "Qian Shuo, when are we going to the casinos outside Konoha? I want the title of 'Konoha's Gambling God' to resound throughout the entire ninja world!"
"Uh—no rush, no rush, this matter needs to be considered carefully." Xingyuan Qianshuo said with a helpless smile, "If we are to take action, we must visit all the families in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, they may blacklist us. They are not like the families in Konoha; if they cheat us, we will have a hard time dealing with them."
"That's true." Tsunade nodded in agreement.
The two exchanged a few jokes and didn't really take it to heart.
They are not short of money; all of these funds will be used for charity.
Everything he did was to help Tsunade prove herself.
After all, we can't build a casino city under the name "Big Fat Sheep" in the future.
"Nonou is in charge of the foundation and can't handle her hospital work," Hoshino Sensaku said after a moment's thought. "I need to go explain this to Professor Biwako. Do you want to come with me?"
"No, you can go ahead." Tsunade waved her hand casually. "I won't concern myself with the specifics."
Xingyuan Qianshuo shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself: If Tsunade were to become Hokage now, where would she find a capable secretary like Shizune?
He then went to find Nono, and the two of them went into the dean's office together.
Sarutobi Biwako glanced at the documents Chisaku handed her and couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle: "Chisaku, you and Tsunade are quite the troublemakers."
"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself in front of the teacher."
"Tsunade has been a gambler since she was a child and has always lost money. Now, I can't even imagine what kind of trouble you two will cause in the ninja world."
Sarutobi Biwako clearly understands Tsunade and knows that she will definitely try to gamble at casinos in the Land of Fire or even other countries.
After a moment's thought, she looked at Nonou and said, "Nonou, since you're going to be in charge of this 'Spark Charity Foundation,' then do it well. As for the hospital, if you have time to come and help out, you'll be paid on a flexible work schedule, calculated daily."
"Thank you, Dean." Nono bowed in gratitude.
"Your medical ninjutsu is excellent, and the hospital needs you very much. I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of both."
"Yes, Dean, I will do my best."
"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy."
Hoshino Senju and Nono then took their leave.
"Qian Shuo, what should we do next?"
"First, rent an office in the core urban area and recruit suitable employees. Open a dedicated bank account, and I will transfer some money into the account to get the fund running," Xingyuan Qianshuo said after a moment's thought. "Finish your work at the hospital today, and tomorrow, Saturday, I will have my shadow clone accompany you to start doing these things."
"it is good."
The two then parted ways, and Hoshino Senju returned to Tsunade's office.
It was almost noon, so Xingyuan Qianshuo took out the food that had been kept warm and fresh from his personal space, and the two of them ate together.
Around 2 PM, Xingyuan Qianshuo received another system notification.
[The evolution of the Thousand-Handed Physique is complete]
Similar to the evolution of his vortex physique yesterday, his physical vitality has increased significantly once again.
He opened the system panel and found that his chakra had increased by about 8 points, bringing the total to around 34.
A quick glance at the skill list revealed no significant changes in the proficiency levels of any of the skills.
Thinking of the "Bloodline Scroll" he had just acquired today, he pondered for a moment, unsure whether the scroll would lead to Indra, Ashura, or Hagoromo Otsutsuki or the Otsutsuki clan.
To prevent the Sharingan from changing when he used the scroll, he made an excuse to teleport back to the underground secret room of the Senju mansion.
Pale blue light bathed the room, and all was quiet.
Xingyuan Qianshuo made a slight thought and used the orange-yellow bloodline scroll from his inventory.
A divine sense descended upon him, and his body seemed to have formed a subtle connection with the distant past in the dimension of time.
This connection does not point to a single entity, but is divided into four strands, each with a different strength of connection.
Moreover, these four associations evoked different feelings in him: one cold and domineering; one lonely and indifferent; two warm...
Friendly.
Before he could calm down and feel it, the scroll had already guided one of the strongest connections, and an indescribable power arose spontaneously from the depths of his bloodline.
The vitality of the entire body is like the rising sun, shining brightly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo opened the system interface and saw that "Bloodline: Asura 17%" had been added to the skill list.
"Did it trace back to the Ashura bloodline?" Hoshino Senju pondered to himself. "Those four connections—Ashura, Indra, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and Kaguya Otsutsuki?"
"I now have the three-tomoe Sharingan, and it's still most strongly connected to the Ashura bloodline. This is probably due to a combination of my Senju and Uzumaki physiques, as well as my Yang power index, my personality, and many other factors."
After calming his thoughts, he looked at the other data and information.
Chakra levels increased by approximately 20, bringing the total to over 56.
This increase is both surprising and somewhat low, considering that Ashura's chakra reserves at his peak in the original work should be in the tens of millions.
However, the Bloodline Scroll ultimately only elevates the bloodline; it doesn't directly correspond to the peak power of an Asura. Even the Asura himself undergoes a growth process.
Yang energy increased by 10%, reaching 76%.
Proficiency in ninjutsu related to Yang Release has improved.
Other changes require further study and understanding. Crucially, the bloodline index can continue to improve.
After closing the system interface, Xingyuan Qianshuo retrieved "The Six Paths Immortal's Conjecture" from the bookshelf.
He then disappeared, returning to Tsunade's office, having written "Speculations on the Origin of Bloodlines" and "Legends and Speculations of Gods and Spirits."
