The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 168. Already Ruined!

---

Why did the White Zetsus seem so cheerful today?

Black Zetsu frowned as he looked at the grinning White Zetsus in front of him. "You guys found something?"

Could it be… that Obito had finally made his move?

He had been waiting for this moment!

As soon as Obito took action, Black Zetsu could continue manipulating events under the guise of Uchiha Madara's will.

That way, he could deceive the entire ninja world, boldly collect the Tailed Beasts, and finally free his mom!

However—

"No! No! That guy is super dumb! He thought we were scammers!"

"That's right! That's right! He even moved out of his house!"

"The Grandma Plan failed!"

Listening to their chaotic complaints, Black Zetsu's eye twitched.

Then why the hell are you guys so happy?!

"Keep watching him. We need to hurry. If Madara-sama revives and comes back to life and sees that we haven't done anything, he'll definitely be furious!"

"Understood! Understood!"

"We know!"

After saying that—

"…"

Black Zetsu stared at White Zetsu, and White Zetsu stared at Black Zetsu.

Both sides stared at each other calmly, or rather… Black Zetsu was alone, staring at an entire group of White Zetsus.

Time passed.

"…Anything else?" Black Zetsu finally frowned.

What's going on?

Why aren't they leaving?

Did that spiral-faced idiot infect them with something?

Why do they look so weird?

And then—

One particularly shameless White Zetsu grinned and shuffled closer. "Can you lend us some money, Black Zetsu?!" He even patted his chest confidently and added, "Don't worry! We'll pay you back double when the time comes! We've already found a surefire way to make money!"

The words had barely left his mouth before—

Black Zetsu's face twitched, and he stared them down expressionlessly.

"Get lost."

What the hell do you tools, who don't need to eat or drink, need money for?!

To top up 648?

This group of White Zetsus…

They were already ruined!

…

Yuto closed the system interface, glancing at the White Zetsus who were still following him. Luckily, he was using the system to do it—otherwise, these White Zetsus might have noticed something.

If that happened, imagine 100,000 White Zetsus crying and chasing him down to collect debts in Konoha…

It's scary to think about!

Pyramid schemes were no joke, and Yuto had always hated online scams and MLM schemes.

So these guys… Yeah. Their accounts would need to be permanently banned when the time came!

Stretching lazily, Yuto switched to his main account.

Suddenly—

Ding Ding!

Another message.

It was from Kana.

[Good luck, Yuto-sama!]

Yuto smiled slightly. Judging by the timestamp, she must have sent it right after he left.

He quickly replied: [Thanks. Take care of things in the Land of Rain for me.]

There was no immediate reply, which meant Kana was probably busy—most likely doing research for him.

He should remind Konan to keep an eye on her. Otherwise, Kana might get too caught up in her work and forget the time again.

Yuto shook his head, smiling helplessly. He still remembered how, during the war, he had intercepted her at Kusagakure and taken her away. Back then, this woman—who was a few years older than him—had been terrified, afraid of what she had been taken away for!

And yet—

Somehow, years had passed since then.

Just then—

Ding Ding!

A new message.

This time, it was from Suzune.

Skimming through it, he saw it was full of concerns, asking when he'd return. She also shared some funny things that had happened in the village.

Suzune was still the same!

Always simple and sweet, her words filled with warmth.

But as he scrolled further, Yuto suddenly paused. His expression turned strange as he muttered to himself, "Danzo and his people… are planning to shoot a movie?"

That guy… still hadn't given up on his entrepreneurial dreams?!

But what kind of film would The Darkness of Ninja even make?

[Life Worth a Billion?]

Just then—

Ding Ding!

Another message from Secretary Suzune.

[I heard that Uchiha Obito was pulled into it too! Now I have no idea what they're filming, but even the Third Hokage is involved!]

"…"

Yuto frowned. His eyes locked onto the message, deep in thought. After a moment, he muttered, "What the hell are those two old men up to… dragging Obito into this?"

Could it be…

They were making a movie about the Uchiha?!

…

On the other side.

Humming a sweet little tune, Suzune swayed her hips while sitting on a chair, her thighs pressed together. She seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood as she read Yuto's reply and whispered softly, "Are you coming back soon?"

A trace of happiness flickered across her delicate, fair-skinned face. Her chest gently heaved, and a playful smile spread across her lips—it was clear she was especially cheerful today.

Like a young girl, she continued humming her tune, twisting slightly in her seat.

A moment later, she glanced at Yuto's next message:

[Just pay attention to what they're having Obito do.]

Suzune tilted her head, her finely shaped eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Yuto...

He really likes children!

Even last time, it was the same with that Yakushi Kabuto.

But Obito… he seems a bit too old.

Suddenly—

As if something dawned on her, Suzune's earlobes flushed red, and her cheeks turned rosy. Still, she quickly replied that she would keep an eye on it. After hesitating for a moment, she started typing:

[Yuto, I…]

But after a few seconds of staring at it, she quickly—"Tap, Tap, Tap..."—deleted the message.

She hesitated again, fingers hovering over the keyboard—

And then—

Ding Ding!

[I'm about to enter the Land of Wind, so I'm logging off for now!]

Suzune froze for a second, then let out a small sigh—half disappointed, half relieved. She erased the words she had typed earlier and simply sent:

[Stay safe. I'll be waiting for you to come back!]

Then—

After receiving a simple "Mm" in response, his avatar went dark.

Suzune smiled faintly and shook her head. Now... it was time for her to get back to work.

"Should I check what Danzo-sama and the others are filming?"

…

"You can't do this! You think this is enough to get into Anbu?"

"I've told you—you're playing the 'Young Master' of the Uchiha Clan! Where's the arrogance? The charm? You're supposed to be a playboy, not a fool!"

"Do it again! Where are the women? Now, show your fickleness toward women!"

"Women will only affect the speed of my ninjutsu!"

"You little—!"

Danzo gritted his teeth, glaring at Obito, who stood there with his head held high in defiance. His nose nearly went crooked from rage.

"As a ninja, you just have to follow orders!"

If this idiot weren't working for free, Danzo wouldn't have even bothered with him!

He had thought that casting real clan members in the film would capture the essence… But this damn brat was just a complete fool!

"If you don't get this right, you can forget about ever joining Anbu in your lifetime!"

"I'll… try my best!" Obito's eyelid twitched, then he nodded seriously. He declared with determination, "Never give up—that's my ninja way!"

But…

What exactly was a Young Master supposed to act like?

He had lived with his grandmother since childhood—how would he know anything about being a noble?

As for pretending to be that bastard…?

That wouldn't work either.

They said he lacked… temperament!

But that didn't make sense! Obviously, that guy was filthy rich, was even the Clan Leader's younger brother, so why didn't he fit the role?!

Still—

If it meant catching up to Kakashi, he would not give up!

Clenching his fist, Obito's eyes burned with determination.

Just then—

"Listen! You're a playboy, but you also have to be gentle. You understand what that means?"

For the sake of the film's quality, Danzo—acting as the temporary director—walked over and began explaining again.

"Think about Uchiha Kagami from your clan—that guy was perfect! He was kind to everyone!"

"Women will only—"

Smack!

Before he could even finish, Danzo slapped Obito across the head.

"You little idiot! Just act properly! If this film flops, I swear I'll make sure that you never get into Anbu! I'll crash at your house for free meals every single day!"

"But… I've never met Kagami-sama…" Obito sighed helplessly and touched his head. Just as he was about to say something else, his eyes suddenly lit up. He spotted a small figure up ahead.

He had heard…

That Shisui's grandfather was Kagami-sama?
