The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 150. Is in Love

---

"Sorry! I haven't been sleeping well lately!"

"???" Yuto sat down, curiously watching the yawning Minato. "Is it because the Nine-Tails has been eavesdropping?" He sighed dramatically. "You really need to show some restraint! The Nine-Tails has been single for over a thousand years, and now you're out here getting all lovey-dovey with Kushina right in front of him! That's just cruel! He has feelings too, you know! What if he throws a tantrum inside Kushina's stomach? After all, raising a fox isn't that easy!"

"…" Minato rolled his eyes, exasperated. "Kushina's seal is solid! One Adamantine Sealing Chains move and the Nine-Tails can't move an inch!"

"Oh, so you two are into that kind of… You guys sure are having a great time!"

"???" Minato gave Yuto a blank look, completely confused about what he was talking about. He cleared his throat, rubbing his forehead in frustration. "Sorry! Looks like we'll have to postpone the mahjong tournament for now." His fists clenched in frustration. "Damn it! I promised Kushina! Looks like… I'm getting beaten up tonight."

Yuto stared at Minato's face—his words saying "damn it," but his expression smug as hell—and rolled his eyes.

This couple is really something else! They know the ways to have fun!

But wait—

Did this guy actually organize the mahjong tournament just for his wife?!

Damn romantic fool!

Yuto shot Minato a glare. "Don't forget! The Nine-Tails will be angry too!"

"Ahem!" Minato quickly regained his composure, coughed twice, and said seriously, "Actually, this is about the Nine-Tails! That guy is too troublesome! For Konoha's safety, we must keep him happy!"

"…You've truly become a qualified Hokage."

They all know how to use the village as an excuse!

"You flatter me!" Minato said cheerfully, and he seemed to be a lot more relaxed after chatting for a while. But in the end, he shook his head, his expression turning slightly bitter. "Advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu oppose allowing other villages into Konoha right now. Since Danzo-sama is still in the village, unless absolutely necessary, they believe we should completely block foreign ninjas."

"So it's those two… No wonder!"

Yuto nodded.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen was the longest-serving Hokage, then those two were the longest-serving advisors. Even after Boruto graduated, they were still in a semi-retired state, occasionally showing up.

The Seventh Hokage had a tough time dealing with them.

Let alone Minato.

Still strong despite being old!

Full of energy!

"Didn't you buy a computer a few days ago? If the Nine-Tails wants to play mahjong, Kushina could just make an account and play online."

Silence.

Minato blinked.

Then realization hit him like a Rasengan.

"Oh! That's right! That works too! And with just ten ryo, I can get a ton of beans! Kushina won't complain anymore!" He had only just started using computers, so he hadn't considered this. But with a little hint, he got it immediately. "…Though the mahjong tournament…" He sighed in disappointment. "Looks like I'll have to give it up for now."

"Actually, there is a way!"

"???"

Minato looked at him, puzzled. Yuto secretively pulled out a small note, lowered his voice, and whispered firmly, "Hokage-sama! I want to make an anonymous report! Mitokado-sama is corrupt and is accepting bribes!"

Minato froze. He took the note, glanced at it—then looked up at Yuto with an incredulous expression.

This guy…

[No wonder you got so rich.]

…

After doing a righteous deed, Yuto stepped out of the Hokage Building, feeling refreshed and at peace with the world.

Maybe this was what it felt like to have a cleansed soul~

Indeed—

Even though he, Uchiha Yuto, was filthy rich, he remained a pure man at heart.

Money hadn't corrupted him.

His heart was filled with justice!

Sensing that the White Zetsus were back—

Yuto "coincidentally" strolled to the internet cafe entrance and even went inside to chat with the staff for a bit.

Internet cafes were quite lively nowadays.

"Ninja World Online" had become a massive hit and was popular among everyone!

The entire place was buzzing about 5-star ninjas, and if someone hadn't cleared at least 50 story stages, they would be looked down upon, and people refused to play with them.

Just by standing there for a bit, he had already spotted several people who charged 648 on the game!

Seeing that the White Zetsus had already logged in, Yuto nodded in satisfaction. Though deep down, he felt a little regretful… Why couldn't it be 100,000 White Zetsus coming here instead?

Although he, Uchiha Yuto, wasn't exactly the God of War, he was still a well-known figure in Konoha!

Just a few White Zetsus... This was simply not giving him face!

And just now, he had seen Obito walk out of the internet cafe looking completely devastated. Out of curiosity and to maintain his kind father image, he had to go out and ask him now.

"Obito!"

"Damn it! Why do I have to run into you?!"

"If you run any further, I'll start posting ads all over Kirigakure!"

"…"

[The day I become Hokage will be the day you go bankrupt!]

Obito clenched his fists and glared at Yuto. "What do you want?"

"Relax! It's common to not get an S after ten pulls, especially for children. How can you waste money like that on pulls?" Yuto said in a deeply concerned tone.

Obito was stunned for a moment. He pouted and muttered, "I didn't expect you to actually say something so—"

Before he could finish—

"You should be doing a hundred pulls! A hundred pulls guarantee a 5-star Senju Hashirama! If you don't spend money, how am I supposed to make money?" Yuto patted Obito's shoulder. "And if you don't spend money, how are you supposed to get stronger?"

"…"

Bah!

Dirty adult!

Obito stared at Yuto in amazement, not knowing what to say for a moment.

But then—

Yuto quickly switched back to his kind father persona. "Young man! What's bothering you? You can talk to an adult about it! Don't get stuck in your own head! What's wrong? Are you heartbroken again?"

"Hmph! Women will only affect the speed at which I perform ninjutsu!" Obito said proudly, lifting his chin.

"Kid! You've figured it out!" He patted Obito on the shoulder with satisfaction.

He had been worried that White Zetsu didn't use the internet properly and sneaked out to do something again!

"So? What's on your mind? Tell me! Talk to the adults! Don't even think about refusing—sometimes, adults understand things better!"

"I…" Obito originally wanted to turn away and act stubborn, but after a pause, he hesitated and looked at Yuto in silence.

In his heart, he felt that this bastard had some truth to him.

After all, when he talked to Asuma and the others about this, they didn't understand at all. They only said that since they spent so much money, it wasn't strange that someone recharged 648!

But his grandma?

She would never do something like that!

Absolutely impossible!

So… he was really worried.

And this annoying guy in front of him… well, even though he was never serious and constantly scammed him, he was also the one who had given him that stack of explosive tags when he needed them.

At the very least, he wouldn't actually hurt him.

Of course—

[The day I become Hokage will be the day you go bankrupt!]

At worst… he could only let him open more internet cafes.

After some hesitation, Obito sighed and finally spoke. "Lately… Grandma has been spending a lot of money! The money I saved up from missions is completely gone." His tone carried a trace of worry. "I don't care about the money, but I'm just worried… Why is she suddenly spending so much? Is she hiding something from me? Is she sick and needs a lot of money for treatment?"

And the weirdest part—

If she hadn't suddenly asked him for money, he never would have noticed.

"I even had Rin secretly check her health, but… she's totally fine! That's why I'm really worried!"

"No illness… but acting all mysterious and spending a ton of money?" Yuto froze. He stroked his chin, his expression turning… odd.

This situation…

It sounded awfully familiar.

"Obito… your grandma wouldn't happen to have joined a pyramid scheme, would she?"

"…A pyramid scheme?"

"It's just a joke!" Seeing Obito's confused face, Yuto quickly laughed it off. "Konoha probably doesn't have pyramid schemes… yet."

"Then…" Before Obito could continue—

A sudden thought hit Yuto.

He remembered the Chief Elder…

Acting all mysterious.

Also spending a lot of money.

And also an old person.

"I got it!" Yuto snapped his fingers as if he had just solved the case. With a serious and complicated expression, he looked straight at Obito and said—

"Your grandma is in love. You might… be getting a grandpa soon."

Silence.

Obito: ???

He stared at Yuto, absolutely dumbfounded.

What did you just say?!
