The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 100. Take this Stab!

---

After the industries in the Land of Rain were put into operation, the system upgraded accordingly.

Although the overall profits there couldn't compare to the Land of Fire, it still meant that... Yuto Corporation had expanded internationally.

A slight level-up—refreshing!

As for the next industry…

Cinemas and related technology—like the sound and lighting systems used in the previous dance halls.

In fact, if the dance halls were upgraded further, they could turn into karaoke or nightclubs. But for now, they still resembled the casual dance halls of the 1980s, where loafers would head to the village dance hall after work, sip soda, and unwind.

The decor was nothing fancy—just a single floor, quite simple.

Especially the Chief Elder—

Flared pants, slicked-back hair… the most stylish guy on the dance floor!

Of course—

That's just how these business simulation games worked.

You start with a milk tea shop, expand into food and daily life, then move into entertainment—and only at the very end do you start selling phones and other high-tech products.

After a quick glance, Yuto closed the interface.

Since all system-generated businesses at least broke even, he was already guaranteed to be the richest man in the ninja world.

Now, he just had to kick back and relax.

Once peace arrived—

That's when economic development would truly take off.

After all—

Selling underpants alone wasn't going to make anyone insanely rich.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces!

Yuto stretched lazily, then headed out to find a good spot to build a cinema.

But—

What about the movies?

In the original game, you only needed to build a cinema, and then... money just rolled in automatically.

But right now, it was only the tail end of the Third Ninja War.

Movies didn't even exist yet—the first ones only appeared after Naruto graduated, and even then, they weren't that common!

Wait…

Did this mean he had to make the movies himself?!

Otherwise—

By the time the cinema was built—

The system would guarantee foot traffic, but all people would do is sit inside, stare at a giant screen, and eat popcorn?!

Yuto's mouth twitched.

Way too much hassle!

Now he had to make films too?!

But after a moment, he decided not to overthink it.

Once the cinema was built, it wouldn't lose money anyway.

Maybe—

It'd be just like the dance halls—when they were built, music automatically appeared.

So when the cinema was built… movies might just appear too?!

The only issue was—

Building a cinema was expensive—about two and a half times the cost of a dance hall.

"If we want a larger space, we'll have to go somewhere a little more remote," said Suzune, who had been thinking for a moment.

She had already selected several suitable locations.

However—

Some of them were inside villages, meaning they'd need to negotiate with the locals before using them.

Of course—

That was just a minor issue.

He could just swing by Mitokado Homura's place later and see if there were any First Hokage paintings lying around.

In the end, he chose a location closer to the commercial street.

Yuto smiled with satisfaction and nodded.

Once he got back, he'd arrange for construction to begin immediately.

But for now…

Time to grab a meal with his nephew.

However—

Suddenly—

"You bastard! Take this stab!"

A familiar angry roar erupted from behind him.

He immediately stopped in his tracks.

…

Moving back in time slightly.

After Sunagakure surrendered, announcing an alliance with Konohagakure and ending their conflict, the Third Ninja War wasn't over yet—but Team Minato finally got some well-deserved time off.

They received temporary permission to return to the village and rest.

So—

Minato's team was back today.

Obito had already planned everything out.

This time back… he was going to relax completely—forget all the unpleasant memories of the battlefield.

The squad had even agreed on a plan—after Minato-sensei finished reporting to the Hokage, they'd all gather at Yuto BBQ restaurant for a meal.

As for why they chose to eat at that bastard's restaurant, despite Obito hating him?

No choice.

The moment they thought of barbecue, Yuto BBQ shop popped into their heads… and then—

They couldn't stop craving it.

So in the end, they had already made up their minds.

Damn it.

He had already sworn to never give that guy his business again!

And yet—

He couldn't resist.

Too damn frustrating!

But even if he was going to eat there—Obito was still firm in his ninja way.

Once he became Hokage, he would definitely make that bastard go bankrupt!

However—

He never expected—

Right in front of him—

That carefree silhouette!

The moment he entered the village, he saw that damned figure.

Rage exploded inside Obito!

His whole body shook with fury. Despite the scorching heat, he broke out in a cold sweat, his hands and feet turned ice-cold and his hands… instinctively clasped together.

And then—

He lost control.

He charged forward!

"You bastard! Take this stab!"

If it weren't for this damn bastard…

His reputation wouldn't have spread so fast!

But—

Just as he got close—

That guy dodged?!

Wait.

Didn't this guy quit being a ninja?

How did he dodge that?

Even though Obito hadn't used Lightning Release, with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, most people shouldn't have been able to evade so easily.

Before Obito could even process it—

"You unfilial kid! You dare to kill your father?!" Yuto roared. "Stand down immediately!"

If his power hadn't leveled up again, he might've almost… accidentally revealed his jutsu.

"Shut up!"

Obito snapped out of his daze. Hearing this bastard trying to act like his father again, he furiously straightened his Tiger Seal hand sign—

"I'll stab you to death!"

But a golden-haired figure appeared, grabbing Obito's wrist with a helpless smile. "Calm down, Obito!"

"Sensei! Let me go!" Obito struggled angrily. "I'm so pissed! This guy totally set me up!"

"This is all for your own good!"

"You, you, you—" Obito stared at Yuto, dumbfounded.

How could someone be this shameless?!

"Yuto, stop teasing Obito," Minato said, shaking his head with a wry smile. "He's about to lose it!"

"Alright, alright." Yuto chuckled, finally letting up. "So, what brings you guys back?"

The war… wasn't over yet.

"Shift rotation, for rest. The Land of Wind and the Land of Earth have both withdrawn," Minato explained with a hearty laugh. "So things in Konoha aren't too tense right now."

Then, with a smile tinged with melancholy, he looked off into the distance. "Peace is almost here."

"Yeah~"

Yuto shrugged, feeling the same way.

Strictly speaking—

The Third Ninja War wasn't quite over yet.

After Minato's death, Iwagakure and Kumogakure would attack Konoha again.

At that time—

Yakushi Nono gathered critical intelligence on Iwagakure. Danzo planned to use that intel to launch a strike on the Land of Earth, severely crippling Iwagakure. But in the end… The Third Hokage traded it for peace instead, choosing to negotiate rather than attack which made Danzo furious.

And Kumogakure?

They tried to kidnap people again. The Third Hokage… hesitated for the sake of peace. And because of that… Neji lost his father.

Come to think of it—

Hiruzen Sarutobi…

Whenever he hesitated—tragedy always followed.

Kakashi's father.

Iwagakure's spies (Danzo had Kabuto kill Nono to keep things secret).

Neji's father.

And… the Uchiha Clan.

When Shisui died—

Fugaku and Itachi planned a bloodless coup to take control of Konoha. But the moment Itachi agreed to it… He immediately betrayed the Uchiha.

And then—

Sarutobi Hiruzen said his famous line: "Give me a little more time—maybe there's another way."

The result?

You can guess.

Whenever the Third Hokage hesitated—

Disaster struck.

Of course—

Just recently—

When the Four Ninja Villages demanded Danzo as compensation…

That was the one time Konoha actually stood firm.
