The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 109. It's All Danzo-sama's Fault!

---

Another good day.

In recent days, the village has become increasingly lively, probably because many ninjas have returned.

And perhaps because representatives from Kirigakure will be visiting Konoha… Konoha seems to have made some special arrangements during this time.

The streets are noticeably cleaner.

A simple and ordinary life is about to begin again.

As for his elder brother... after returning and seeing his chubby, fair-skinned child and his happy wife, he seemed very grateful for the care Yuto had provided to the family during this time. So, he kept sending Uchiha ninjas to invite Yuto over for a meal.

But—

Between brothers... isn't this too formal?

Why so much fuss over him?

This is what he, as a younger brother, should do. So, he sternly sent the Uchiha ninjas back and had them relay a message to his elder brother.

[No need to thank me, I'll visit when I have time!]

Yuto planned to wait until Fugaku had calmed down before visiting. Otherwise, all this gratitude and fuss would feel too formal!

They're not strangers.

They're brothers!

However—

From what the Uchiha ninjas said, it seemed that if he didn't visit in a few days, his elder brother would personally come over with a [gift].

Sigh~, his elder brother, though expressionless, is warm-hearted and cares deeply for his younger brother!

Walking down the street, amidst the calls of "Yuto-sama!" the approachable and wealthy Yuto nodded to each one.

He had patronized almost every shop in the village, and with his generous spending and magnanimous personality, he was deeply loved by everyone.

Especially for organizing free activities for the elderly—his reputation among the elderly now rivaled that of a certain someone who helps old ladies cross the street.

Of course—

Not all Uchiha are suited for doing good deeds. For example, during the early days of Konoha's founding, a certain stoic Uchiha almost scared a little girl unconscious when he helped her up.

So, the tension between the Uchiha and Konoha isn't something that can be resolved just by doing good deeds.

After so many years, it has already become a stereotype.

Having a few smiling ones is fine, but if all the Uchiha started smiling, Konoha would probably think they were plotting something in secret!

Yuto sighed and continued walking leisurely.

Suddenly.

"Bastard, take this stab!"

A familiar roar, a familiar voice, and a familiar move!

Yuto sidestepped, easily dodging. "The same move won't work on a rich man!"

"Bastard! If it weren't for Minato-sensei stopping me, you'd be in the hospital by now!" Obito, held back by a helpless Minato, kept struggling. Finally, unable to break free, he could only pout. "I'll bankrupt you sooner or later!"

"That wish is even harder than you becoming the Hokage!"

At least Kakashi has a chance to become Hokage, but for Obito to bankrupt him... he'd have to ask the system!

And for an Uchiha to become Hokage... they'd probably have to wait until the Third Hokage and his generation have all [sacrificed].

Yuto smiled faintly, not minding.

No need to argue with a kid!

When the time comes... he'll just advertise in other villages!

As for whether Obito's personal reputation will affect the business?

Not a big deal.

He attracts customers through the system, not anything else. As long as there's curiosity... that's enough.

Yuto looked at Minato, who was smiling wryly. "Taking shifts again this time?"

"Yuto, something happened." Minato shook his head, let go of Obito, and patted his shoulder. "You're dismissed for now." Then he turned to the calm Kakashi, hesitated, and said, "Kakashi... be careful. And about the seal, I'll come with Kushina tonight to handle it."

As soon as he finished speaking—

"Mm." Kakashi nodded. "Thank you, sensei."

"Don't worry! Your sensei is here!" Minato ruffled his hair and smiled. "Kirigakure's seal isn't perfect. When it comes to sealing techniques, the Uzumaki clan is the best. Although Jiraiya-sensei handled it, we still need to be careful."

After speaking, Minato waved his hand, smiling as he watched the three leave. Only after they had gone far did his face show a hint of helplessness.

"What does the village plan to do?" Yuto roughly guessed Minato's worries. After all, it had been a hot topic these past few days. It was about a Jinchuriki, after all!

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato hesitated for a moment. Then, considering that although Yuto was a businessman, he had managed to advertise on the battlefield, he didn't hold back and said seriously, "Hokage-sama would never sacrifice anyone from Konoha."

"Hehe."

You're right!

Yuto pouted, indicating that he agreed.

He was a village-loving businessman, and he admired the Hokage the most!

"From what Jiraiya-sensei said, initially, Danzo-sama also refused. After all, Kakashi is a Konoha ninja, and he ended up like this because of Konoha," Minato sighed helplessly. "But in the end... after a long discussion, Danzo-sama still thought it would be best to hand over the Three-Tails inside Kakashi to Kirigakure. It's the best choice for the village, especially since the First Hokage sold the tailed beasts for peace back then, and now..."

Before he could finish—

"What about... peace?" Yuto interjected softly.

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

Yes!

True peace never came!

He let out a bitter laugh and continued, "Of course, Hokage-sama disagreed! After all, what happened with Sakumo-sama has already left Hokage-sama feeling very guilty. But he couldn't convince Danzo-sama. Danzo-sama is also doing this for Konoha. I heard Hokage-sama is considering whether they can temporarily buy the Three-Tails and return it after Kakashi passes away. But Danzo-sama disagrees. He thinks it's a waste of money, especially now, when Konoha has just gone through a war and really can't afford it. Even if they could, Danzo-sama would probably still oppose it."

"..."

So Danzo has been doing all this these past few days!

And I didn't even know!

Yuto's eyelids twitched.

With a whole group of people watching his back, he's still stirring up so much trouble. Truly the Darkness of the Ninja, always courting death, huh?

"It's time... to increase again."

Otherwise—

When he gets bored again, might he turn his attention to the Uchiha bloodline?

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato looked at Yuto in confusion. "Huh? What needs to be increased?"

"Nothing," Yuto said irritably, glaring at the confused Minato.

If it weren't for Minato and his students last time, he wouldn't have had to waste so much money.

If... Kakashi were to be [sacrificed], who knows what Obito would become?

Creating a world with Kakashi!

That reason isn't even as good as the last one!

What if the ninja world starts thinking the Uchiha have some strange preferences?

It's all his fault.

No, it's not entirely his fault!

Who knew Obito could be so clingy? Even Jiraiya would have to bow down. At least after Dan appeared, he gave up and now quietly plays the role of a background admirer, never interfering in Tsunade's life.

But Obito?

Good grief... some villagers say they've seen him three times, eyes filled with despair, shouting "No!" in the middle of the night.

It wasn't until his final battle with Kakashi that he let go—then set his sights on becoming Hokage and started pursuing his dream.

With no women in his heart, ninjutsu comes naturally!

As for Kakashi... it's probably like the relationship between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

It's about bonds, recognition!

The pursuit of power!

Looking at Minato, Yuto asked, "So, what do you plan to do?"

"As a teacher, how can I abandon my student?" Minato smiled helplessly, gazing at the sunset on the horizon. "I plan to go talk to Danzo-sama in a few days, before the Kiri ninjas arrive. No matter what, I won't give up on my student!"
