Chapter 177. This Ti We Will Succeed!
---
A few days later.
"Asuma, didn't you buy a computer?"
"The internet cafe has... atmosphere!"
"Alright then!" Shiranui Genma shrugged, unfazed, and said casually, "I also think internet Cafes have atmosphere. So ti ago, on my birthday, my old man gave a computer. Unfortunately, I don't play it often, and I've kept it at ho. Like you, I still prefer going to the internet Cafe."
As he spoke, he sensed sothing was off. Turning his head, he was startled to see Asuma's eyes welling up with tears for no reason.
"You... What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Asuma tilted his head at a 45-degree angle. "Just suddenly... missing my dad."
"???"
Asuma's acting weird today!
If you miss your dad, just go ho!
The Third Hokage isn't even dead yet!
Genma didn't press further—maybe it was a family issue, and as an outsider, it wasn't his place to ask. He lowered the senbon in his mouth and changed the topic. "By the way, I haven't seen Obito around lately. Wasn't he filming a movie with Third Hokage-sama? Is it finished yet? I'm quite curious!"
"It should be about finished," Asuma wiped his tears away and said. "I heard that filming should have been completed around this ti. They call it a wrap-up!"
Then, his expression twisted as he glared at the screen. "Enough talk! I'm gonna make Kirigakure call Dad! Today, we're going to continue blocking their village again!"
"Isn't that kind of an? Always bullying the newbies?"
"I don't care! I don't care! I, Asuma, just want them to call Dad!"
"..."
Fine, whatever you want!
Genma shrugged, watching this unusually emotional Asuma, sighed, and shook his head.
[Is it because the Third Hokage is too busy with the movie and ignoring Asuma?]
Thinking back to what Asuma had just said—"missing my dad"—
It made sense.
Asuma was always loud, boastful, and loved picking on newbies, but deep down, he craved his father's love!
Perhaps all this was just to attract his father's attention!
Shiranui Genma's eyes flickered as he looked at Asuma, who kept bullying the newbies because he longed for his father's love.
[Maybe I should talk to Kakashi and Kurenai and let Third Hokage-sama know... Asuma really needs so love!]
"Huh~" Asuma suddenly shivered. "Why does it feel so cold all of a sudden?" Muttering to himself, he ignored it and continued glaring at his screen. "Call Dad! No? Then die! Damn old man!"
...
"Achoo!"
"Hiruzen, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm getting old, and it's almost fall, so I guess I'm feeling the chill."
"That won't do!" Danzo shook his head sternly, looking seriously at the grinning Hiruzen rubbing his nose. "We're wrapping up filming in a few days. You can't collapse here! This is our victory! We have to celebrate together. If you don't co, how can it be complete? You must take care of yourself!"
"Danzo!" Hiruzen looked at Danzo with deep affection, his heart filled with emotion.
At that ti, he thought his best friend had been carrying the darkness for too long and was about to fall into the abyss. Otherwise, how could he have gone crazy and continued to do business at a loss?
But—
Danzo was still the sa Danzo!
He is his best friend! He is Konoha's Billion!
Sarutobi Hiruzen, in a firm tone, declared, "Don't worry! I won't collapse before the movie is finished!"
"I believe in you! The Light of Konoha!"
"The Darkness of Konoha!"
"This ti, we will definitely succeed!" Danzo said resolutely. "Once we wrap up, I guarantee it'll be as big a hit as [Uchiha Zha: The Dark Child That Cos Into the Ninja World]!"
Right now—
He had heard that the movie had already spread to Kumogakure and Kirigakure. If it weren't for the fact that Sunagakure and Iwagakure had no movie theaters, they wouldn't have missed out either!
However, a few days ago, that Uchiha brat had even returned, apparently expanding the market into the Land of Wind!
At this mont—
Danzo was feeling sentintal.
No wonder that brat built such a massive business empire in just a few years—his business instincts were on point!
But of course—
"Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen working together will never lose!" Danzo's eyes glead with confidence, and his lips curled into a slight smirk. The confidence he had lost reappeared, and he looked at Hiruzen with moving eyes. "I have a feeling! This ti, we will definitely succeed!"
"Danzo!"
"Hiruzen!"
"Danzo!"
"Hiruzen!"
"You're right! We will definitely succeed this ti!" Hiruzen nodded firmly. "I have the sa feeling!"
It's going to be a massive hit!
However—
Just as they exchanged determined gazes, wearing confident yet composed smiles—
"Director Danzo! Director Danzo!"
A staff mber called out from the distance. "This shot is done! What do you think?"
Danzo instantly snapped back to reality, adjusted his clothes, and walked over with a serious expression. "Let take a look! If anyone dared to be careless, don't bla for being ruthless!"
...
Still not finished filming?
Yuto looked at the compiled information in his hands, feeling a bit surprised.
As expected—
Making a movie!
Even with ninjas involved, it wasn't as easy as it seed. It had been several months, and they still weren't done.
Konoha's three big bosses, along with the famous ninja of the ninja world—Uchiha Obito—and the rising star of the Uchiha—Uchiha Shisui—were all working on a movie together.
It looked like... this might actually be a blockbuster!
He was really looking forward to it!
Yuto shook his head in amazent. If not for the fact that filming was kept top secret—with multiple layers of Anbu (Root) ninjas surrounding the set to keep outsiders away—he would have loved to go and take a look.
Who would've thought that for the sake of filming, Shimura Danzo actually mobilized a large number of Root ninjas?
Impressive!
It seed that after the repeated failures of their milk tea shop and barbecue restaurant in the past, they were taking this movie project extrely seriously!
Just as he was marveling at this—
Suddenly—
"Bang!"
A loud noise startled Yuto. He turned his head to see Pakura furiously slamming her keyboard. He said unhappily, "Hey, hey, these computers are expensive! If you break it, you'll have to pay for it!"
Since personnel were being dispatched to the Land of Wind, Pakura was staying for a while. If the Mahjong Tournant was happening soon, she'd probably have to finish competing before heading out.
As for why she was in this office...
She was broke.
A frugal person like her couldn't even bear to spend money at an internet cafe, and since there was free milk tea here, she decided to stay!
After his words—
Pakura turned her head coldly, her sharp and heroic gaze locking onto Yuto. "Why isn't there a Sunagakure?"
"Well, you're the only player from there—wouldn't it be a waste to create a whole newbie village?"
"Damn it! This is bullying! The [Most Handso Ninja of Konoha] deserves to die!"
"Actually, you could always pretend to be a Konoha ninja!"
"Impossible!" Pakura rejected the idea without hesitation. "I am a proud ninja of Sunagakure!"
She didn't continue arguing after that. After all, she was only here to mooch off the computer. Now that she had cald down, she actually felt a little embarrassed. Looking around, she frowned. "Where's that little Hyuga girl?"
"Oh, you an Suzune? She's the secretary of Yuto Group—second only to and above everyone else! What do you an, 'that little girl'?" Yuto shrugged. "I don't know, she took a day off today and didn't co!"
He was also looking forward to seeing Suzune's skills!
However—
Pakura chuckled. "Heh, looks like you haven't noticed yet."
"???"
"The Hyuga clan has not been peaceful these days!" Pakura said, folding her arms and looking at Yuto. "For the sake of using the computer these past few days—"
"And milk tea!"
"Do you want to know or not?"
"Alright, fine." Yuto sighed, rolling his eyes at her. "Tell ."
"That girl..." Pakura took a sip of milk tea and said lazily, "She hasn't been having a good ti in the clan recently~"
