The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 141. Scarlet Eyes

---

The cinema had undergone system modifications, giving it a somewhat modernized appearance.

Since all the tickets he handed out were for the same screening room, Yuto looked toward the front row.

There sat the Chief Elder and Elder Hana…

Considering their advanced age and potential vision problems, he had thoughtfully given them front-row seats.

In hindsight, it seemed like he had actually caused trouble for the Chief Elder!

After all, whether by coincidence or sheer luck, the second row was occupied by the Second Elder. However, the Chief Elder, too preoccupied with indulging in his love for women, had yet to notice his foolish little brother sitting right behind him.

Since entering, the two old people had been bickering nonstop. Elder Hana remained composed, while the Chief Elder, on the other hand, looked rather pleased with himself.

Ah, the traditional Uchiha tsundere!

As for the deeply brooding Second Elder… perhaps he found his older brother's pathetic display too humiliating for the Uchiha name, as his expression grew increasingly grim. After all, he could no longer justify it by thinking, "My brother is merely enduring for the sake of the Uchiha… The Hyuga are truly despicable!"

"I should have chosen a more secluded seat for the Chief Elder," Yuto muttered to himself, both exasperated and amused.

A far-off, empty corner seat would have been ideal.

Just as he sighed to himself with a hint of schadenfreude—

"Yuto, what's wrong?" asked Suzune, sitting to his left, curiosity in her voice. On his right, Nono also turned her head, equally intrigued.

Actually, at this very moment, she was feeling a little embarrassed.

However—

"Nothing~" Yuto shook his head with a grin. "The movie is starting. Let's watch!"

At that, everyone turned their eyes toward the massive screen.

Little did they know…

A group of people behind them was also watching them intently.

"Clan Leader Fugaku," Minato greeted with an awkward smile. After all, Kushina had been secretly spying on someone's younger brother—only to be caught by his older brother. Hurriedly, he pulled Kushina, who was leaning over the seat in front of her, enjoying the spectacle, and flashed an apologetic grin at Fugaku. "What a coincidence~"

"Fourth Hokage," Fugaku nodded. This wasn't the past anymore—Minato was now the Fourth Hokage.

So, the respect due had to be given.

That said… what a coincidence indeed!

They were seated right next to each other.

Fugaku simply crossed his arms and sat down with Mikoto, Itachi, and Izumi.

Next to him was Mikoto, and beside her sat Kushina.

At that moment—

Mikoto seemed to notice something. The gossip-loving housewife instantly found common ground with another gossip-loving housewife.

"Suzune, Nono, and Yuto are sitting up front?"

"Yes! Yes!" Kushina nodded eagerly. "I had a weird feeling from the start!"

"What should we do?"

"Maybe they'll fight?"

"Who does Yuto like?"

"No idea!"

Their hushed whispers made Minato feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and turned to Fugaku. When he saw Itachi, he gave a warm smile.

"Itachi looks a little thinner lately. Looks like the Uchiha are about to produce another genius."

Although he wasn't sure what being thinner had to do with being a genius Uchiha, Fugaku still nodded. "Thank you."

And just like that, their conversation ended.

While the women chatted away, the men found themselves in an awkward silence.

As for Itachi…

He would have preferred to bask in the sun on the veranda, but his mother had dragged him out, bringing Izumi along as well.

So, he simply yawned quietly.

At that moment—

The screen lit up, drawing their attention and easing the tension.

…

Anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be premium!

The lighting had a cinematic quality, and everyone watched in anticipation.

The screen started with a flash of light before fading to black.

[This movie is sponsored by Yuto Milk Tea.]

[The moment I drink this milk tea, you've already lost.]

[There's nothing a round of Yuto BBQ can't solve. If there is, have another round!]

[Yuto Dance Hall—be the most dazzling person in the village!]

Yuto crammed in as many ads as possible, and it seemed to work—attracting plenty of attention with its novel approach. Even if someone introduced televisions now, their resolution probably wouldn't match his movie.

As the screen gradually transitioned, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"The deep-seated feud between the Uchiha and Hyuga during the Warring States period?" The Chief Elder raised an eyebrow at the sight of a young man wearing the Uchiha clan crest and a young woman with the Hyuga crest.

The boy looked quite handsome—he even reminded the elder of his own youth.

But…

[What the hell is that brat up to?]

Was he trying to stir up conflict between the two big clans?

As the story unfolded, clashes and disputes escalated between the two families.

If that was the case, why invite Hana? He might as well watch it alone at home.

The Chief Elder forced a smile. "Maybe we should... stop watching?"

"Keep watching!" Hana continued staring at the screen without turning her head. "It's interesting!"

Meanwhile, murmurs of doubt spread behind them.

Was Uchiha Yuto really trying to reignite the old grudges between the two clans?

Even Minato and Fugaku frowned.

This could be bad!

However…

As the plot progressed…

Something felt off about this movie!

Amidst the constant clashes between the Uchiha and Hyuga during the Warring States period, Uchiha Romeo and Hyuga Juliet secretly fell for each other.

Yuto was just as baffled. After paying the system for a script, he hadn't checked on it—he never expected this.

The tickets even advertised it as "The First Movie in the History of the Ninja World," likely to spark curiosity and attract viewers.

Now?

Damn!

And the system had the nerve to charge ten times the price of a ready-made script just because he had to film it himself. Robbery!

Yuto watched the ninja-adapted version of Romeo and Juliet with great interest. Beside him, Suzune was completely absorbed, clutching the edge of her seat with a nervous expression.

As the story unfolded, Uchiha Romeo accidentally killed Hyuga Juliet's cousin—a member of the Hyuga main branch. Their relationship was exposed, and soon, a genius from the Senju clan entered the scene, forming a tangled love triangle that made everyone's faces turn green.

Many people were heartbroken over the protagonist's tragic love.

Meanwhile, the Hyuga and Uchiha clans: Bullshit! What is this?! A Hyuga (Uchiha) falling for an enemy? Disgraceful!

The Chief Elder: Is this based on my past? No wonder the protagonist is so handsome! But what's with this love rival? He can go die! And why wasn't I cast in the role?

The more he watched, the angrier he became.

His Sharingan even started spinning in frustration.

It was just that everyone was too captivated by the plot. Only the Second Elder behind him nodded with empathy, looking at the red eyes: [Big brother, do you feel ashamed too?]

What on earth was Yuto doing?

Humiliating the Uchiha?

However—

Time passed little by little.

Everyone couldn't help but calm down and watch the movie, drawn in by the tense plot.

But of course, it was a tragedy.

In the end, Hyuga Juliet obtained a secret potion from the Nara clan, planning to fake her death in pursuit of love. However, Uchiha Romeo received false news, and after killing his rival, he took poison and died. When Hyuga Juliet woke up and saw what had happened, she took Romeo's kunai and ended her own life.

A tragic ending, through and through.

The film even included an Easter egg in the epilogue: in the end, the Hyuga, Uchiha, and Senju clans joined hands to establish Konoha, ensuring that such tragedies and misunderstandings would not happen again.

Yuto found it quite entertaining—well-adapted, though a bit overpriced.

Rubbing his eyes and stretching, he turned to Suzune. "I'm getting hungry. Let's go grab some BBQ!"

But—

"No!"

The usually considerate Suzune refused without hesitation, glaring at Yuto in anger as she raised her fist. "Yuto, you're the worst!"

"???"

What was going on?

A Hyuga being tsundere?

Before Yuto could react, a sudden shiver ran down his spine as a bad premonition crept over him.

"You brat! I'll make you die for love! And for giving me a love rival! Stop right there and don't run!"

It was—

The Chief Elder's wrath!

Yuto turned his head and was met with a pair of scarlet eyes…
