Chapter 178. Ti Flies
---
"How do you know?"
"Co on, I'm a Suna ninja. Isn't it my duty to collect information when visiting a ninja village?"
"...Fair point!"
"No need to pay for the information—consider it my internet and milk tea fee for the past few days! I'm heading out!"
"Be careful. I don't want to have to bail you out of jail later!"
Yuto shook his head, watching Pakura's departing figure.
That smooth, tight, flawless back... It'd be a waste not to give her a cupping treatnt.
He didn't bother stopping her from running around.
Since she had officially registered upon entering the village, there would naturally be Konoha ninjas keeping an eye on her.
Besides, over the past few days...
With all the temptations—milk tea, barbecue, dancing, gaming, movies—he believed her vigilance toward these industries had reduced a lot!
By then... there would definitely be more people in Sunagakure who were curious!
As for the Hyuga clan... It seed that so mbers of the main family had set their sights on his businesses and were trying to get his secretary involved. But there was no way Suzune would agree!
Because of this, she had been having a rough ti within the Hyuga clan lately. If it weren't for Elder Hana's support, things would have been even worse.
At this mont, Yuto couldn't help but feel grateful toward Chief Elder Setsuna.
Legend!
Still strong despite being old!
Is it done?
Yuto stretched and stood up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, muttering, "This is bullying the rich!"
And he—
Uchiha Yuto—
Had nothing—
Except money!
...
anwhile...
Ding Ding!
Kakuzu, who was cursing while gaming on his computer, frowned at the sudden ssage and clicked it open.
Ever since soone had robbed him of 10,000 ryo last ti, he had been grinding tirelessly to earn it back. He had no choice—he had paid 10,000 ryo into the ga!
There was no way he was quitting so easily!
That was real money!
A full 10,000 ryo!
Unless that guy could return the money to him—Otherwise, it would be a complete waste!
[I heard you're good at ninjutsu. Kill soone for !]
"???"
A job?
How did this guy even add him on [Nin-Nin] Chat?
Kakuzu hesitated for a mont before replying—
[10 million ryo?]
Ding Ding!
A direct deposit of 1 million ryo! Withdrawable from any Yuto Internet cafe, with only a 1% transaction fee!
[The 1 million is your deposit.]
"So generous!" Kakuzu licked his lips and narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected the other party to accept his price so easily.
After all, 10 million ryo was no small amount!
In the black market, aside from Konoha's Billion, most high-value bounties totaled only a few tens of millions at best!
[Who's the target?]
[Hyuga Munemasa—the Elder of the Hyuga Clan in Konoha.]
[Who?! Do you have any idea that Konoha is the strongest ninja village?!]
[A rogue ninja like you—are you still afraid of them?]
[You misunderstand! That man is an Elder of the Hyuga Clan, a Konoha ninja, heavily guarded by elite guards! It's not that easy to assassinate him! You have to pay extra!]
[30 million! You can sneak in during the Konoha Mahjong Tournant!]
[Deal! I accept!]
Kakuzu grinned viciously. He hadn't expected them to even provide a way in—this was practically an easy job!
Perhaps...
He could also see what happened to his 1 billion!
Still—
Starting the offer at tens of millions... Who the hell was this?
Kakuzu's eyes flickered with intrigue.
Perhaps it was ti to establish a long-term partnership—better than letting the black market cut transaction fees from his earnings!
...
"Ah-choo!"
"Are you sick?"
"Maybe it's just the autumn chill."
"Sorry for the trouble!" Minato smiled. "In that case, let's hold the Mahjong Tournant next spring! That'll give Konoha enough ti to prepare. Even Nine-Tails is already nagging about it, swearing he'll take the championship!"
"You decide! The sooner, the better! I'll see if I can get people from Iwa and Kumo to join!" Yuto shrugged and stood up. "But aren't you worried Nine-Tails will lose in the first round?"
At those words—
Minato's face fell. "...That's impossible, right?"
"...Who knows? I'm leaving first."
Ignoring Minato's awkward chuckle, Yuto turned and walked out of the Hokage's building.
That noob fox... He had heard that Nine-Tails found soone even worse than himself to play against, so he just kept bullying them in-ga.
Aiming for the championship?
That was simply a dream!
If he didn't lose right at the start and go berserk, that would already be a blessing!
As he stepped out of the Hokage's building, Yuto spotted Suzune waiting, looking troubled and lost in thought. He smiled. "Let's go."
"Mm." Suzune nodded and smiled softly. Being by Yuto's side felt comforting, but she still kept her head down.
But then—
"Don't think too much! If sothing's wrong, just tell !" Yuto sighed and hesitated before suggesting, "Why don't you move out?"
Sure, his house in Agakure was gone, but his Konoha ho was already built!
"I'm moving into my new house in a few days. It's pretty big, and honestly, I don't need all that space."
At that—
He turned his head, confused, as he saw Suzune's face suddenly turn red for no reason.
"What's wrong?"
"Can I...?"
"Of course! It's too big for just !"
He was even planning to buy a few dogs from the Inuzuka Clan and adopt so cats from Aunt Neko.
His courtyard was spacious!
Maybe he would even train so smart ones.
"What? You don't want to? If not, then—"
Before he could finish—
His head was suddenly turned, locking eyes with Suzune.
"No!" Suzune stopped walking, placed her hands on her waist, and looked at Yuto seriously. Then she bowed slightly. "Thank you for taking care of , Yuto!"
Her face was flushed—charming yet shy!
"???"
Why so formal?
Yuto blinked at her and hesitated before responding uncertainly, "Uh... it's not... a big deal?"
At that—
Suzune paused, then chuckled. Her small fists clenched tightly.
She might have misunderstood sothing, but she felt a little happy about it!
And... a little embarrassed too.
This was the first step!
She probably had an idea why she was feeling this way.
Suddenly—
Suzune felt grateful to Elder Munemasa!
anwhile, Yuto...
What's this girl daydreaming about?
Why was she so flustered?
Did she... want to be spoiled like a daughter?
With her big, blinking eyes and rosy cheeks, Suzune continued walking toward the Uchiha district alongside him.
Today, he would check on Itachi!
He had been gone for so long—without his uncle watching over him, who knew how hungry Itachi must be because of his father?
But just as this responsible uncle was about to visit his nephew—
Ding Ding!
A ssage ca in.
Yuto frowned and opened it—only for his face to twitch when he saw the sender: [Little White Man 10086]
[Manager, it's ti to distribute the profits!]
He sighed and shook his head, mumbling to himself, "I didn't expect another month to have passed already?"
Ti flies so fast!
Like an arrow.
Like a fleeting shadow.
He touched his slightly tight chest and casually opened the system panel.
Then—
He tapped a button.
[Do you want to add to blacklist?]
[Yes.]
And with that—
With the bell ringing, he walked slowly toward the Uchiha district with an expressionless face!
