The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 105. What's Going On?

---

"A future literary star of the ninja world is rising!" Yuto watched Shisui, who was holding the notebook, his eyes seemingly glowing as he hopped away, and nodded with satisfaction.

He believed that his advice, as a former struggling writer and now the future richest man in the ninja world, would bring Shisui great benefits.

Take Jiraiya, for example... He's been gathering material for so many years, from childhood to adulthood, yet he still flops when he's supposed to. But after a few words from me, directly applying my formula, isn't he very successful now?

What?

Plagiarism?

How can you call it plagiarism when it's written by fellow scholars?

At most, it's just similar themes!

Yuto stretched lazily; tutoring kids in writing was quite tiring.

After thinking for a moment, since it was still early before evening, he was about to go back and have a "chat" with his female secretary about recent work situations.

"Yuto."

A familiar voice again.

Seems like I've met a lot of acquaintances on the road today~

Yuto turned around in surprise and indeed saw Nono, with her white headscarf and thick glasses, slightly stunned. "You... are back?"

"It seems because a lot has happened there recently," Nono smiled gently and nodded. "The funds are somewhat insufficient, and with the temporary shift in focus, I was called back."

"..."

Has the Root... fallen to such a state?

Yuto remembered Danzo, who had a falling out with his best friend last time and had resolutely mortgaged himself for a loan, and sighed with emotion. He's not having it easy!

Thinking about it...

With so many people eyeing his body, he must be quite mentally exhausted!

And now, it's unclear whether the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal has appeared or not. If not... with Danzo's caution, he still has to be wary of betrayal by his subordinates.

After all, interests can hurt people!

Yuto glanced at Nono, who seemed very happy, and smiled. "Welcome back!"

"Thank you!" Nono nodded. "The orphanage has been a trouble for you during this time!"

"It's a small matter," Yuto shook his head slightly. "The children have missed you a lot!"

"I'll head back first," Nono bowed again. "Thank you!"

"Mm."

Yuto waved with a smile, watching Nono's departing figure. It was clear that, no longer being a spy, she was indeed quite happy.

Actually, she hadn't needed to go out during this period originally. It wasn't until after the Nine-Tails incident, when Iwagakure and Kumogakure launched wars and Konoha, having just suffered great turmoil, couldn't react in time, that Danzo sent her out.

Unexpectedly.

There was a tiny little accident during the Chunin Exams.

Now thinking about it... part of the reason was because of me~

Yuto smiled helplessly, sighed with emotion, and didn't think too much about it as he headed straight to the shop.

Business had been good recently, and with some ninjas returning, the place had become much livelier.

"Boss!" Uncle Sato called out, then continued with his work.

Yuto didn't disturb Uncle Sato and just nodded quietly.

Child labor in the ninja world was quite cheap; a little money could get a freshly graduated ninja to work. In peacetime, it was even cheaper.

"Boss!" Might Duy, who had just returned from delivering takeout, shouted happily, then gave a thumbs-up, his teeth seemingly sparkling. "I've learned to do a handstand, a blind backflip with a 360-degree spin, without spilling! This is the sweat of youth!"

"..."

You're awesome!

There's definitely a place for you as the future delivery king of Akina Mountain.

Yuto's mouth twitched but didn't say much. Since the square dance had moved to the dance hall, he rarely saw Might Duy. After all, it was wartime, and the village had tasks that required veteran Genin like him to execute.

Of course, after completing his tasks, he would still come back to deliver takeout and exercise.

Without disturbing the future delivery king, Yuto turned and entered the office.

With business getting busier recently, it was necessary to have a good talk with the female secretary!

…

A few days later.

Near the battlefield close to Kirigakure.

Two figures were running through the forest...

"Idiot!" Kakashi's eyes flickered as he looked at the masked Obito in front of him, but his tone softened slightly. "You should have abandoned me and gone to complete the mission!"

"Shut up! You're the idiot! I, Uchiha Obito, don't abandon my comrades!" Obito roared but then calmed down. "I've already sent Rin to call for backup. I'm sure they'll be here soon!"

"Idiot!"

"Hey, hey, Kakashi, who are you calling an idiot?! I came to save you!"

"Idiot!"

"Kakashi, you idiot! Big idiot!"

"..."

Kakashi fell silent for a moment, then added, "There's a poster of you in the camp, the one with the mask."

Instantly.

Obito felt as if his throat had been squeezed, unable to speak.

Finally, he glared at Kakashi!

This Kakashi is really annoying, just like that bastard!

Especially that guy...

I should have just killed him with a Tiger Seal back then!

So infuriating!

Obito touched his mask, thinking... after this, he'd change his mask!

However.

"They let me go on purpose!" Kakashi frowned and said, "There's a Tailed Beast inside me, and they've set a forbidden seal. They plan to release the Tailed Beast once I reach Konoha!"

At this point.

He stopped.

"Konoha is not far ahead. You should leave on your own!"

"Idiot! Kakashi, what are you trying to do?" Obito's expression shifted, as if he understood something, and he looked at Kakashi seriously. "I will definitely take you back!"

However.

As soon as he finished speaking.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

Dozens of figures appeared in front of them, including the current... Three Swordsmen!

"Konoha's genius—Hatake Kakashi, and... Konoha's... uh..." The Kiri ninja's mouth twitched slightly. "Thunder Finger—Uchiha Obito..."

Before he could finish.

"You've got the wrong person!" Masked Obito lowered his voice. "I am Uchiha Yuto!"

As soon as he said that.

"..."

The scene fell into silence!

The Kiri ninja's mouth twitched.

Who are you trying to fool?

Especially Kakashi... who looked utterly speechless.

Even at a time like this, you're still pretending?

Then.

He looked up seriously at the Kiri ninja in front of him.

Among them were the Three Swordsmen...

Though it seemed the relationship between two of them and the fat guy wasn't great, which made sense since the fat guy had betrayed them to save his own skin back then.

And so many Jonin... it seemed the Kiri ninja had taken their strength into account.

So, how to escape?

Thinking this, Kakashi's eyes dimmed again. After all, he had a Tailed Beast from Kirigakure inside him. Konoha wouldn't accept him.

"There's only one way!"

"I have a plan!" Obito spoke up at the same time, then turned to Kakashi in surprise. "You thought of it too? Right! Same as usual, I came prepared this time!" He confidently patted his ninja pouch. "You know the Taro Ball Jutsu. Just tweak it a bit, and it'll be like my jutsu. Then the two of us..."

Before he could finish.

Kakashi said expressionlessly, "Just let me die."

"???"

Before Obito could react.

Suddenly.

To everyone's shock, Kakashi pressed his chest against Obito's right hand, which was holding a kunai!

"?!"

Obito's face changed, and he roared, "Kaka..." Before he could finish calling Kakashi's name, he froze, his voice instantly lowering. "...shi?"

He looked down at his right hand, which had passed through Kakashi's body without drawing a single drop of blood.

"???"

The two stared at each other, both utterly confused.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward~

What's going on?
