This demonstrates the power of space-time ninjutsu. As for sealing techniques, we can glean some insight from the fact that the Nine-Tails was sealed away.

Although Yi Shuihan still had wine, he didn't bring it out again. So Jiraiya and the others ordered some more dishes and ate together.

During this time, Jiraiya couldn't resist asking for some sake. However, he, who usually wouldn't be satisfied without several kilograms, only took one sip and then stopped, finding it tasteless.

"So you've completed your mission and are planning to go back and hand it in?" On a certain road to Konoha, Yi Shuihan also learned about the future Sannin. The Sannin had not yet fought Hanzo, so they had not yet received the title of Sannin.

At this time, Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, was still alive. Although she knew Dan Kato, the two had not yet developed into lovers; at most, they were just friends who shared similar opinions.

"That's good. We'll rest in Konoha for three days. I'll report your situation to the Hokage, and I believe your residency permit will be issued soon." Tsunade spoke with great confidence, after all, the Hokage was her master, and her status in Konoha was extraordinary.

"Being a ninja is really a busy profession." Yi Shuihan originally wanted to say it was miserable, but after thinking about it, he used the word busy instead.

"You're right! I've been so busy I haven't even had time to do any research." Jiraiya nodded in agreement. "It's been so long since I've done any research!"

"Gathering materials?" Tsunade's tone was as if she was barely suppressing her anger. "You better not let me see you in the women's bathhouse again, or I'll get rid of this pest for Konoha."

Jiraiya realized he had spoken out of turn and immediately fell silent.

Chapter 270, Settling in Konoha

Following Tsunade and the others, they easily entered Konoha without any questioning, and the group went straight to the Hokage's office without any hindrance.

In the Hokage's office, Yi Shuihan finally met the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was known as the "Hero of the Ninja."

At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi was much younger than at the beginning of the story, and he looked quite imposing, with a sharp glint in his eyes that made him someone not to be underestimated.

Indeed, compared to Danzo, who looked gloomy, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who exuded the aura of a tyrant, was more suitable to be Hokage.

"Old man, I'm back. Did you miss me? I certainly didn't," Jiraiya said loudly as soon as he entered the office.

"Sarutobi-sensei!" Orochimaru greeted him respectfully, his attitude much better than Jiraiya's.

As for Tsunade, she said in a flurry, "The mission is complete. You'd better not bother me for the next few days. Also, this is Yi Shuihan, a samurai who wants to settle in Konoha. Make arrangements for him."

The Third Hokage didn't react much to the different performances of his three disciples, after all, this wasn't the first time. His attention was more focused on Yi Shuihan, who had come with Tsunade and the others.

To be honest, the third generation's insight was quite sharp. He saw Yi Shuihan's extraordinary qualities at a glance, whether it was his unmoved expression or his intuition telling him that he should not underestimate Yi Shuihan.

To be honest, the Third Hokage was slightly surprised when he heard Tsunade say that Yi Shuihan was a samurai. After all, in this era where ninjas reigned supreme, there were very few truly powerful samurai. Compared to ninjas, samurai's fighting methods were too simplistic and easily countered by ninjas.

"You want to settle down in Konoha? I understand," the Third Hokage paused, then said, "So, are you planning to join Konoha?"

"Does one have to join Konoha to settle down there?" Yi Shuihan looked at the Third Hokage with a half-smile. He had no interest in continuing to play this word game.

"No, it's just that if they're not from Konoha, they'll be subject to some surveillance." This is blatantly admitting to planting people for surveillance.

"What level of surveillance? It's not like they're following you around like a dog, guarding the door even when you go to the bathroom, is it?"

"Of course not, they won't appear within 50 meters of your sight."

"In that case, I'll settle here as an outsider for now. Maybe after some time, I'll choose to join Konoha." Yi Shuihan didn't give a definitive answer; he had to leave some room for maneuver.

As for the so-called surveillance, he didn't think that it would stop once he agreed to join Konoha. In that case, it would be better not to join for the time being. If he joined Konoha, the Hokage would have a reason to make Yi Shuihan do things that he didn't want to do.

For example, assigning tasks to Yi Shuihan, making him an unconventional ninja.

Yi Shuihan never considered becoming a formal ninja. This kind of job, where he was always on the edge of a knife and could die at any moment, without even social security benefits or fixed holidays, was not his ideal job.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. Konoha welcomes you to join us anytime." The Third Hokage said, waving his hand. With a thud, a masked ANBU appeared in the office, kneeling on one knee.

"Lord Hokage, what are your orders?"

"Go and arrange accommodation for this guest, and then complete the registration procedures."

"Okay, please follow me."

As soon as Yi Shuihan left with the Anbu, Jiraiya immediately became serious. The three of them stood below the Third Hokage, reporting on their mission and their encounter with Yi Shuihan.

All of this was naturally none of Yi Shuihan's business. Yi Shuihan followed the Dark Guard all the way to a place that resembled an office hall. After filling out some simple information, such as his name, age, and occupation, he received an identity token and was then taken to a place that resembled a modern apartment.

"You can stay here, but if you want to move to another place, you'll have to pay." The secret agent tossed the key to Yi Shuihan and then left.

This is a one-bedroom apartment with a simple layout. The room contains a single bed, a wardrobe, and an old wooden table with some daily necessities and cups on it.

Next to the table was a chair without a backrest; the simple arrangement made the room look a little empty.

As for the living room, there is a long chair that can seat three people, and a dining table.

There are also some smaller items, but I won't go into detail about them.

Yi Shuihan would never stay in such a simple place. He immediately took out the items from his personal space and began to decorate. In a short while, the simple one-bedroom apartment was transformed into a luxurious one.

"Bang bang bang"

Just as Yi Shuihan was thinking about what else he might need, a knock sounded on the door.

"Here you are." Upon opening the door, Yi Shuihan saw a young man with golden hair and a charming smile.

"Hello, I'm Minato Namikaze, and I live next door. Are you new here? From now on, we'll be neighbors. Please take care of me, and feel free to ask me for help if you need anything," Minato Namikaze said earnestly, like a little adult.

Minato Namikaze curiously observed his new neighbor, Yi Shuihan, whose first impression was that he was a rather handsome older brother.

"So you're Jiraiya's disciple! You truly are like a little sun. I am Yi Shuihan, well, I guess I was brought to Konoha by your master!" The young Fourth Hokage? He certainly has a unique aura that makes people want to get close to him.

"Do you know Master? So Master Jiraiya has returned." Minato Namikaze's face lit up with joy, and he felt a bit closer to Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan nodded and said, "As for Jiraiya, he was in the Hokage's office before, but I don't know where he is now."

"I see! Well then, if there's nothing else, please excuse me for taking my leave." Minato Namikaze said this and ran off, probably to find Jiraiya.

Chapter 271, Opening a Mixed-Use Hot Spring Resort

"A refrigerator! I remember there will be computers later on. It seems that apart from chakra, this world is no different from the ordinary world." He opened the only relatively valuable item in the house, the refrigerator, and threw the only thing inside, a carton of expired milk, into the trash can.

Having settled his internal affairs, Yi Shuihan began to ponder.

Now that he had come to Konoha and did not want to live as a ninja, Yi Shuihan had to choose a way of life.

With his skills, he could easily make a successful liquor store a hit, expand it into a chain, and even open stores all over the world.

But just as I said before, he doesn't intend to do that.

"If I were to open a shop, I would want it to be the kind where I can arrange my own time, take a break whenever I want, and ideally, there would be girls I could look at any time."

After pondering for a moment, Yi Shuihan finally made a decision: he wanted to open a hot spring resort with mixed-gender baths and strict restrictions on guests. No one who was not a beautiful woman or a handsome man was allowed to enter. If someone was not a beautiful woman or a handsome man, they could use a transformation spell to become one.

"That's a really good idea." Thinking of the hot spring resort, Yi Shuihan had many ideas that extended from it: ordinary hot springs, special hot springs that can accelerate cultivation, turning hot springs into a place for cultivation, opening up hot spring resorts of all levels, and making hot springs a must-visit place for ninjas.

Yes, we can also establish various membership systems, which would make it seem high-end and classy.

Beauty hot springs can make the skin smoother and even have a rejuvenating effect, nourishing the skin.

Chakra Control Hot Spring: A hot spring where one can practice chakra control.

Healing hot springs can heal any injury, no matter how severe. Just a soak will make you feel better.

A revitalizing hot spring is a man's favorite. A soak here will keep you energized all day, and you'll never feel powerless in bed again. It will help you get an erection and become a man who can hold his head high in front of women.

Various hot springs kept appearing in Yi Shuihan's mind, and these hot springs that seemed impossible to others might actually have a chance of success for Yi Shuihan.

Take beauty hot springs as an example. By adding some dragon's blood to the hot spring, the dragon's blood can seep into the skin while you are soaking in the hot spring, and you can achieve the corresponding effect.

Yi Shuihan also has a way to heal wounds with hot springs. As long as a spirit-gathering array is set up to gather gentle spiritual energy, and with some special processing methods, it can be made into a spiritual liquid that can heal injuries. Putting the spiritual liquid into the hot spring will achieve the healing effect.

As for the others, Yi Shuihan also had corresponding ideas, and they were just waiting to be implemented.

The next day, in the Hokage's office.

"What? You said you want a huge area of ​​land to build a hot spring resort?" The Third Hokage stared at Yi Shuihan in disbelief, never expecting that Yi Shuihan would make such a request.

If Yi Shuihan had said he wanted to open a brewery, he wouldn't have been so surprised; in fact, he would have been quite pleased, since he also wanted to see the magical wine his apprentices had been talking about.

However, the Third Hokage couldn't understand why Yi Shuihan wanted to open a hot spring resort, and a very large one at that.

"What's wrong? Is something troubling you? Or is there no suitable place?" Yi Shuihan asked when the Third Generation didn't reply for a long time.

"It's not that there's no way! But if you really want to do this, why don't you consider opening a tavern or a martial arts school? We already have several hot spring resorts in Konoha. If you open another one, the business might not be very good, and you might lose money." The Third Hokage wanted to persuade Yi Shuihan.

"No need. Since we've decided to do it, we should stick to it. As for the money, I don't know if this is enough?" Yi Shuihan said, tossing the bag in her hand to the third generation.

"This is...so bright!" The Third Hokage opened the bag and was blinded by the light emitted by the various gems inside.

"Wow, what a tycoon!" After retying the bag, the Third Hokage's gaze towards Yi Shuihan completely changed. This bag of gems alone was enough to support Konoha Village for 10 years.

He quickly put the bag into the desk drawer, then coughed a few times as if to make a show of it, and said, "Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. There's an empty space near the Uchiha compound, what do you think?"

"How big is it?"

"Building five schools is no problem."

"Okay, that's the place. Hurry up and get the paperwork done for me. I can't wait to build my business."

Because of Yi Shuihan's gem, the Third Hokage acted quickly, finishing the matter in just a few minutes, as if afraid that Yi Shuihan wouldn't take the land.

"Oh, and one last thing, I'd like to remind you that it's best to avoid conflict with the Uchiha clan. Of course, if something really goes wrong, you can come to me; my influence still has some effect."

Having received benefits from Yi Shuihan, the Third Hokage maintained a relatively good attitude. Of course, Yi Shuihan didn't heed his warning. It was fine if the Uchiha clan didn't provoke him, but if they really did, even if Madara Uchiha came, it wouldn't matter. He would still beat them up or exterminate them.

Holding the contract that proved his identity, Yi Shuihan arrived at the place that would soon become his hot spring resort and took a look around.

It must be said that the third generation really put their heart into it; this land is excellent and even includes a small waterfall.

"Although the location is a bit out of the way, the place is indeed large enough. As for the houses here, well, since we're going to create an unprecedented hot spring resort, we'll naturally have to tear them all down and rebuild them. Let the ninjas handle the construction work; this can be considered a contribution to Konoha. I'm sure the Third Hokage will be very happy about it!"

Ninjas are far more capable of construction than professional construction workers. With a few ninjutsu techniques and their formidable stamina, they can complete a building in just a few days, or even less, what would take a construction worker a year to finish.

"But before that, I need to draw up a blueprint first." With his business plans in mind, Yi Shuihan swaggered towards his home, completely unaware that several ninjas with fans on their backs were watching him with scrutinizing eyes. However, even if they saw him, he wouldn't care.

"Is that the samurai who came to Konoha with Tsunade and the others? I wonder what he's doing here?"

"This place is very close to our Uchiha base. Could it be that he was sent by the Hokage to spy on us?"

"If that's the case, then find an opportunity to get rid of him."

Chapter 272, The Seven Doors Behind the Main Door

"Why are you back so soon? Is there anything else?" The Third Hokage looked at Yi Shuihan with some nervousness, not because he was afraid of Yi Shuihan, but because he was worried that Yi Shuihan was not satisfied with the land and would come back to ask for a refund.

"Fast? I don't think so. I've already gone around in circles, and I even went back to take a shower. Then I spent a lot of time preparing these architectural blueprints. I'm here to issue a mission; I need to find ninjas to build houses." Yi Shuihan calmly handed the blueprints in his hand to the Third Hokage.

Hearing that Yi Shuihan wasn't there to refund the money, the third generation breathed a sigh of relief. But after hearing Yi Shuihan's words, he felt completely dumbfounded. In such a short time, he had not only finished looking at the land, but had also produced the blueprints. He even said that he had spent a lot of time. Did he think this was graffiti?

It must be one of those ordinary blueprints drawn without any thought! It might even be a copy of other hot spring resorts in Konoha.

Thinking this through, the Third Hokage lowered his head to examine the blueprints Yi Shuihan had provided. If they were truly of poor quality, he would advise Yi Shuihan to be cautious and seek advice from a professional.

"Uh!" When the Third Hokage turned his gaze to the blueprints given by Yi Shuihan, he immediately opened his mouth wide, his eyes almost popping out. It wasn't that Yi Shuihan's blueprints were bad; on the contrary, they were too perfect. This was not a hot spring resort; even the Daimyo's residence was better than this!

"Are you sure you want to do it this way?" It's far too extravagant. If we really follow the blueprints exactly, it would take an average hot spring resort at least ten years to recoup the cost!

"Is there a problem? Isn't there a suitable candidate?"

"No, it's just about the price..."

"Problems that can be solved with money aren't problems!"

When Yi Shuihan threw another bag at the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage was completely defeated by Yi Shuihan's gem offensive.

At this moment, in the eyes of the third generation, Yi Shuihan was just a rich but foolish tycoon, which made him feel the urge to rob Yi Shuihan.

"Since you don't care, I have no right to say anything. I'll help you find someone to help you with the person's situation."

"So, approximately how long will it take to complete?"

"Because the project is quite large, it should only take a month."

A month, that's fast!

"That's settled then. I hope you'll come visit us often when we open!"

"Okay, I will definitely go."

Watching Yi Shuihan's disappearing figure, the Third Hokage rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired. Communicating with someone as wealthy and witty as Yi Shuihan was proving somewhat exhausting.

In his opinion, it was incomprehensible that Yi Shuihan had spent so much money just to build a hot spring resort. Even if it was built well, it would be almost impossible for him to recoup the investment. It was clearly just burning money!

"We should take better care of him then. If he spends his money on the development of Konoha, it will be a contribution to the village. Someone, come here!"

"Lord Hokage!"

"Lower the alert level for Yi Shuihan to the lowest level. Someone with so much money doesn't need to come to our Konoha as a spy. Arrange for a few people to protect him secretly, so that nothing happens to our big spender."

"Yes!"

With the support of the Hokage, the construction of Yi Shuihan's hot spring went very smoothly. With all the green lights, it was completed in just 25 days, a few days ahead of the planned month.

Of course, just building it doesn't mean it can open for business. There's still the issue of the source of the hot springs to be resolved. Putting aside other things, just take the hot spring water in Japan as an example. Naturally, it won't be like some ordinary hot spring resorts, where they just randomly produce some hot spring water, or even some that aren't hot springs at all, but just water that's been heated up.
