The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 158. What a Waste!

---

A few days ago, Uchiha Madara suddenly "created" him and then, for some unknown reason, killed himself. And after that, these White Zetsus completely let loose.

They snatched up a computer and were now even preparing to spend money on a game's launch event.

What a bunch of useless idiots!

But—

Damn it!

Why did he have to kill himself?!

What about his dream?!

To this day—

Black Zetsu couldn't forget that moment.

At the time—

He was dumbfounded.

He had no idea what to do.

Was he supposed to carry out Madara's will himself?

What a joke!

If he just ran around claiming to be Madara's will, who the hell would believe him?

Nobody!

Did they even look alike?

Not at all.

Nobody would even believe Uchiha Madara was still alive at this point.

Besides—

Why did he pretend to be Madara's will in the first place?

Wasn't it to conceal his true identity and stay hidden in the ninja world?

But now, Madara was dead!

He just randomly killed himself!

He didn't even pick a successor before his death!

Exhausting!

They were truly impossible to manage!

Black Zetsu let out a heavy sigh, glaring at the now silent White Zetsus in front of him.

Since Madara was dead, there was no need to keep up appearances anymore.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Madara?" Black Zetsu's voice was low and menacing. "How the hell did this happen?"

"…"

The White Zetsus looked at each other.

"It was an accident!"

"Yes! Yes! We never expected this to happen either!"

"Madara-sama was probably so furious he fainted twice… That's why he did it!"

"Such a shame! I never even got Madara-sama's account and password!" One of the "smart" White Zetsus sighed regretfully. "Madara-sama spent a lot of money on that account! What a waste!"

As soon as he finished speaking, every White Zetsu turned to look at him.

"???"

The so-called smart White Zetsu flinched, realizing something. He muttered cautiously, "I was wr—"

Before he could finish—

All the White Zetsus sighed in unison. "What a waste!"

"…"

These idiots!

Black Zetsu's eyelid twitched… Or it would have, if he had one.

At this moment, he seriously wanted to kill them all and make a new batch.

Useless trash!

Even now, they were thinking about games?!

Taking a deep breath, Black Zetsu glared at the now cowed White Zetsus and asked coldly, "Did you secure Uchiha Madara's corpse?"

"Of course! We buried it super deep! No one will ever find it!"

"Good." Black Zetsu nodded.

Finally, they did something right.

Uchiha Madara's corpse was still useful.

Then, shifting his gaze toward the computer, he asked, "What's this about 'Uchiha Yuto'?"

"No idea!"

A White Zetsu shrugged.

"Sounds like the Sage of Six Paths, reincarnation of Yin and Yang chakra, kinda like Asura and Indra!"

"Did he find anything?"

"It's probably just a coincidence. After all… didn't you erase all the historical records?"

"So, it's just a coincidence?" Black Zetsu fell into thought. "The White Zetsus monitoring him didn't find anything?"

"No!"

"Then keep watching him. The moment you notice something…" A sharp gleam flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes. "Kill him. But make sure no one discovers it."

Even if a little unexpected trouble had popped up, it wasn't time for him to reveal himself just yet.

As soon as he finished speaking—

"Understood!"

The White Zetsus all nodded.

Then, Black Zetsu, satisfied, nodded as well. His heart felt a little lighter.

Since Madara's successor hadn't appeared yet, they had to continue guiding one into existence.

Only that way could he avoid exposing his true secret.

Looking at the obedient White Zetsus, Black Zetsu thought—These tools aren't completely useless after all.

Just as that thought crossed his mind—

One of the "smart" White Zetsus raised a hand. "So… can we go online now? The new server is launching, and we're running out of time!"

"…"

"Get lost."

These…

Idiots!

…

Uchiha Madara's sudden suicide, along with Black Zetsu's unexpected early birth—Yuto remained unaware of it, or… even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The only pity was…

It had been days, yet Madara still hadn't come asking about the 1024 Project. It seemed his plan had truly failed.

After handling village matters, Yuto set off for the Land of Rain again. This time, the plan was to fully cover the Land of Rain with internet. At the same time, he would let Kana analyze the Sharingan given to him by the Chief Elder. Then, he would make a trip to the Land of Wind to see if he could also cover that place with internet.

If that wasn't feasible… he'd simply promote Konoha's upcoming Mahjong Tournament, and just getting them to go online once would be enough.

No one could resist the system's temptation!

After that—

He also needed to check on the progress of his house.

The house in Konoha was still under construction, and maybe by the time he returned, he could move into the new house!

Before leaving the village, he had already opened up movie and game production to the public and even put related tools up for sale. He left it to Suzune to oversee things in the village. If any promising works appeared, she would keep them, and he would review them after his return.

Maybe he would find something interesting when he got back.

Sitting comfortably in a luxurious carriage, Yuto gazed at the approaching Land of Rain, sighing to himself. "I wonder if Hanzo the Salamander has been behaving himself. If not…"

A cold gleam flickered in his eyes. "The war is over—might as well get rid of him while I'm at it."

…

"Achoo!"

"Damn it! You are poisonous! Sneeze somewhere else!"

"Tch, I only won twice, and you're already annoyed? Is this the so-called magnanimity of the Rinnegan?" The masked Hanzo of the Salamander raised his eyebrows and looked at the disdainful Nagato in front of him. "What's wrong with making a little money? Now that the entire Land of Rain is under your control, why are you still so stingy?"

"…"

A little money?

That was hundreds of ryo!

He had been saving it for so long—did Hanzo know how many steamed buns he could've bought with it?!

Nagato rolled his Rinnegan and grumbled, "Then why don't you keep managing it?"

"Forget it! Not worth the trouble!" Hanzo shrugged indifferently. "Boy! Be magnanimous! Be magnanimous! You are a strong man, after all. Don't be like a little thug!"

"Brother Yuto said it doesn't matter. As long as you're happy, that's all that counts!"

"That guy sure knows how to talk." Hanzo snorted. "But… don't forget, he's still a Uchiha from Konoha."

"Brother Yuto is Brother Yuto!"

"Tch, whatever. I'm done talking. Little girl, put that explosive tag away! You seriously think it's okay to ambush an old man like this?" Hanzo turned to Konan, who was silently preparing paper explosives. He then glanced at the workers in the distance. "What are you doing recently? Why are there so many of them all over the Land of Rain?"

"Network infrastructure." Konan retracted her paper bird. It was just a cute little paper bird—how did it turn into an explosive?

She only wanted to show him how adorable it was…

"Brother Yuto said that with this, we'll be able to communicate even across long distances."

"Really?" Hanzo's interest was piqued as he eyed the strange devices. "Then I'll have to see for myself when the time comes."

Communication from any distance? Is that even possible?

With that, he patted his robes and stood up. "I'm done playing with you. If you lose and still glare at me, I'm heading back."

"Hey, hey! I told you—that's Brother Yuto's house!"

"That brat gave it to me at the time! What, now you're trying to scam an old man?"

"…"

Nagato and Konan exchanged glances before helplessly shaking their heads.

Forget it.

Brother Yuto would be back in a few days—let him deal with it.

Nagato stood up as well, still bitter about losing a few hundred ryo.

"I'm going to check on the prison. That bunch has been restless lately, especially the Four-Tails Jinchuriki who was captured a few days ago. He seems to be involved with them."

Those guys…

What a hassle!

Couldn't they just behave for once?
