Chapter 175
"Let's go!" Haruto Saito said grimly. "Just dig exactly as I tell you! Don't mess around. If you break something valuable, I'm not paying you."
"When do I get my ten million ryo?" Tsunade asked with a smile, stretching out her hand toward Haruto Saito.
"I'll pay you! What's the rush?" Haruto twitched his lips. "Once the Hokage gives me the money, you'll get yours! Now stop nagging, let's get to work!"
"Fine!" Tsunade tilted her head, motioning for Haruto to go first.
"Uh... Can I help?" Inuzuka Ken suddenly called out. "Haruto-san, you can hire me too! I don't need as much money..."
Haruto gave Inuzuka Ken a strange look. At first, he thought the guy genuinely wanted to help, but then he brought up money—just like Tsunade!
Inuzuka Ken chuckled awkwardly. Honestly, he hadn't planned on asking for money, but Haruto had been so generous earlier, he figured he might as well try his luck.
"Ken, how could you?" Tsunade feigned a moral stance. "We should be content with what we have. We're Konoha shinobi—helping each other is normal! My dear Haruto-san, don't you agree?" She had a serene, wise expression, completely ignoring her own shamelessness.
"You're unbelievable!" Haruto glared at Tsunade, gritting his teeth. Then, with a powerful step, he shot toward the mountain wall.
Tsunade seemed in high spirits. She gave Inuzuka Ken a grin before following Haruto.
"Over there... yes... right there..."
