The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 146. I Built it!

---

"Recharge as much as you get back? Then I'll try recharging 6 ryo and see!"

"6 ryo? That's a waste! Just go for 648 straight away!"

"Spending so much on virtual items feels fake! Just a small amount is enough!"

"Waste? Yesterday, an old man had his son recharge 648, did a ten-pull in a row, and got a five-star Senju Hashirama and a five-star Uchiha Madara! Both at once! Shocked the whole internet café! The bond was opened instantly! He was completely invincible in the early stages! He cleared the levels super fast!"

"That lucky?"

"Yes! I heard that he is ready to be promoted to the Ten-Star Ninja God! I regret not charging 1888 directly!"

"Then I'll go for 648 too!"

A moment later…

"Huh? Where's my five-star Hashirama and five-star Madara? Why didn't I get any?"

"Bad luck. Maybe it's because your son didn't recharge it for you!"

"Damn it!"

"…"

Yuto also turned on a computer in the internet café. As time went by, the internet café had become very popular and was now operating at full capacity.

They had even sold quite a few computers.

Of course, he knew exactly who bought each one. After all, only so many people in the village could afford them…

Among them, Danzo bought one, Minato bought one, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu bought one together, and the Chief Elder and Elder Hana also bought one.

Were those two old people just chatting in [Nin-Nin] every day and stealing crops from each other?

But for some reason… Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't buy one.

As expected, a man of strong will and deep-seated Will of Fire wouldn't be so easily tempted by the internet.

Regardless, new technology was slowly integrating into Konoha. The income was growing, even nearly surpassing the revenue from the milk tea shop.

Indeed, science and technology are the primary productive forces!

However, the computer production base was in the Land of Rain, since that was his stronghold, and with Nagato and Yahiko overseeing things, he felt quite relieved.

Yuto removed his earpiece and smiled. "I should visit in a few days!"

Another step closer to becoming the richest man in the ninja world.

However…

Ever since his upgrade, even though he still had three-tomoe Sharingan, his chakra and perception had grown stronger, and that lingering feeling of being watched was getting stronger and stronger!

Until he discovered…

There was something alive beneath the floor!

Only then did he realize that Uchiha Madara was probably keeping an eye on him. But strangely enough, even the White Zetsu seemed to have consumer desires.

After following him into the café, they also started using the computers.

Yuto glanced at the five long-haired, pale-faced figures browsing the internet, his expression turning weird.

Maybe…

White Zetsu was about to wire internet cables into their underground hideout?

He chuckled helplessly, shook his head, and ignored them.

But then…

"How interesting!"

A soft and feminine yet familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.

Yuto froze for a moment and turned to see Orochimaru, who had somehow taken a seat next to him and powered on a computer. Without much concern, he smiled and greeted, "Orochimaru-sama."

"Good afternoon, Boss Yuto." Orochimaru smiled, though his smile seemed a little cold. "It seems that Boss Yuto's business is really getting bigger and bigger!"

"Just a small business, just a small business!" Yuto replied politely.

However…

Orochimaru kept that same smile as he looked at him. "I just topped up 648, but after ten pulls, I didn't get a single five-star. Can I get a refund?"

"…"

You're one of the Legendary Sannin, and you want a refund for 648?

That's just shameless!

Yuto's smile stiffened as if he didn't understand what Orochimaru in front of him wanted to do. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course…"

Seeing Orochimaru still smiling at him…

"No!"

He responded firmly.

Orochimaru's smile froze.

Then…

Yuto grinned. "Refunds aren't possible! It's just a small business, and we just make a little money." Seeing Orochimaru's smile begin to fade, he lowered his voice and continued, "But later, I'll have the backstage send out a special benefit. Orochimaru-sama just needs to go back and enter VIP666666, and you'll receive an exclusive 1888-value gift pack for free! Just don't tell anyone else, okay?"

He put on an expression of huge loss as he looked at Orochimaru.

"…"

Orochimaru's lips twitched as he looked at the stingy Boss Yuto.

Rich yet stingy!

A moment later, he regained his usual smiling expression. "Then, thank you, Boss Yuto!"

"No need to thank me!" Yuto waved his hand grandly. "All for family!"

"It's getting late. I'll head back first and try that VIP666666 later!"

"You won't be disappointed!"

Yuto waved goodbye with a business-friendly smile, watching Orochimaru leave. Only after he disappeared from sight did Yuto shudder all over.

Why did it feel like Orochimaru was unusually interested in him?

That constant smiling gaze…

Was it because of computer technology?

Or had he discovered something?

Or maybe he still held a grudge from the last Hokage meeting?

No way!

Orochimaru had no interest in becoming Hokage. He was only in it for the convenience of his experiments.

If Orochimaru had already defected, Yuto would have gladly made a deal with him to see if he could exchange some Hashirama cells for research, but for now… forget it.

Besides, who knew how far Danzo had progressed with his Hashirama cell experiments? Would the same rebellion against the village still happen?

Yuto shrugged and stood up. It was time to visit the Uchiha clan and ask the Chief Elder if there were any spare Sharingan to study.

To master the future…

One had to stay ahead of everyone else.

"The next movie is about to start, and then in a few days, I need to expand the market and visit the Land of Rain."

Yuto sighed, full of emotion.

It seemed he was going to be quite busy.

…

Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain.

It was still raining today, and a bit heavier than usual.

Inside a certain prison in the Land of Rain…

Biwa Juzo had been here for a while, and he realized—this prison was a bit strict!

He wasn't sure about other villages, but it was even more secure than Kirigakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

How could such a small country build such an impenetrable prison?

Was it rich?

Or was it because the country was always in turmoil?

The hallways twisted and turned endlessly, every door was guarded by ninjas, the keys were incredibly complex, and the floors were solid—escaping through stealth or tunneling seemed nearly impossible.

Especially since his chakra was sealed. A red-haired woman had sealed it, making it extremely difficult to extract now!

But no!

He couldn't stay here. He had to escape!

While out in the yard, Biwa Juzo spotted a red-haired boy not far away.

Over time, he had observed that quite a few ninjas from different villages were locked up here.

Was the Land of Rain really this bold?!

Did they not fear being discovered by other nations, risking war?

Especially the Five Great Ninja Villages… If they captured rogue ninjas and refused to return them, the big ninja villages would be furious!

But…

Because there were so many ninjas from different villages here, Biwa Juzo was confident enough to escape!

Talent!

Each of them was a talent!

Especially that silent, red-haired boy in the distance.

He didn't know if he was just too introverted, always staying alone.

But that was a good thing.

It wouldn't attract too much attention.

After hesitating for a moment, Biwa Juzo casually walked toward the red-haired boy.

He was a puppeteer!

If there was a chance to escape, he would need his help.

Once he got close, Biwa Juzo discreetly scanned the surroundings, then lowered his voice. "Want to escape from here? I have a plan! But I need your help!"

However…

The red-haired boy calmly looked up at him, his eyes showing a hint of disdain. Then, with a soft scoff, he looked away and continued working, completely ignoring him.

"…" Biwa Juzo's eyelid twitched. What was that supposed to mean?

Did he not believe him?

After a brief pause, he tried again. "I really have a way! If you just listen to me, we can—"

But before he could finish…

"Don't even think about it," the red-haired boy interrupted coldly. "You can't escape from here."

"???"

Such a certain tone?

Why?

Before Biwa Juzo could ask, the red-haired boy, still focused on his work, spoke in a flat tone. "This prison… I built it."

And with that…

"???"

Huh?!
