The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World-Chapter 366 - 12. Workshop Supervisor

[V2] - 12. Workshop Supervisor

---

Night.

Sasuke dragged his tired body back to the Yuto household. After greeting Yuto and the others, he returned to the room with Boruto, who looked just as exhausted.

Seeing Boruto constantly yawning, rubbing his eyes, clearly very worn out, Sasuke felt quite comforted inside.

[Boruto has grown up!]

It looked like he had also been seriously gathering information!

As expected—after everything he had been through, as Naruto's son, Boruto had matured.

The corners of Sasuke's mouth lifted slightly in a faint smile as he asked, "So, what did you find out today?"

"There's really a paralyzed Nine-Tails inside the Nanga Shrine!"

"???"

"Oh~, nothing!" Boruto suddenly snapped back to his senses, saw Sasuke-sensei's serious face, and quickly laughed it off, glancing at the time on the wall.

Then it hit him—it had already been so long?

He had... totally forgotten about the information-gathering mission!

Scratching his head awkwardly, he said, "Sorry, Sasuke-sensei... I didn't find anything useful."

"That's not your fault." Sasuke sighed upon hearing Boruto's words. "This Ninja World is indeed strange!"

Thinking back to what he had discovered—there was once a conflict at the academy among Danzo and his three companions over competing for Utatane Koharu, but in the end, for various reasons, the three gave up and still became good friends.

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, the four of them went to the frontlines to protect Konoha during the war. However, the war turned out to be extremely intense, and the Second Hokage ended up sacrificing himself.

In order to resist the enemy's invasion and protect their homeland—Konoha—all the ninjas swore to protect the village to the death and turned it into a war fortress, historically known as the [Konoha Fortress].

The final battle to defend Konoha took place right in the village.

Although he felt that the movie was kind of weird—clearly it was a war film, but why were the characters so coy and talking about love? They were even more coy than Naruto back then. Still, you could see just how brutal the war had been.

The Second Hokage died. Uchiha Kagami also died.

And finally, Konoha welcomed a new era of peace.

Many years later...

The Third Hokage was accused of embezzlement and chose to retire. Mitokado Homura was dismissed due to bribery and corruption. After being found by Shimura Danzo, who had been hidden behind the scenes for years, the three, still full of ambition, vowed to start their own business.

So, the three of them founded the "Root Studio" at the base of the Hokage Rock. At first, their partnership went well, but over time, numerous conflicts arose between them. As time went on, the conflicts worsened. Eventually, the business went bankrupt.

Danzo ran off to escape his debts. Homura shut himself in and refused to see anyone. The Third Hokage alone bore the heavy debt, working hard as a deliveryman.

Three years later... Shimura Danzo made a comeback after succeeding in the outside world.

...

These were the pieces of information he had gathered from the movies.

What the heck were these?!

There were just too many things to complain about—he didn't even know where to start! ƒгeewёbnovel.com

And for some reason... something just felt off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After all, through his discreet inquiries... it really was true that the Root Studio was founded by them. Danzo did go bankrupt. The Third Hokage was forced to retire due to embezzling public funds.

So then... what exactly felt wrong?

Was it the idol-drama-like [Meteor Konoha]?

Or the coy [Konoha Fortress]?

In any case, after organizing all this information, Sasuke found himself at a complete loss for words.

[It's truly worthy of being a different kind of Ninja World!]

He sighed, glancing at Boruto, who still seemed deep in thought. He was probably analyzing the information too.

"No need to get too hung up over it. Maybe..." Sasuke paused for a moment, then fell silent briefly, "...we need to abandon the common sense of our original Ninja World and try to look at this one with fresh eyes."

"???"

Sensei, what are you even talking about?

Boruto stared at Sasuke in confusion, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded. "...Got it!"

"I believe you'll become an outstanding ninja, one who surpasses your father," Sasuke smiled faintly. "As a ninja, gathering and analyzing information is an important skill. Even if you come up empty-handed, don't get discouraged. And of course, if there's anything you don't understand, you can always ask me!"

"Eh? Something I don't understand?" Boruto scratched his head. After a moment, he hesitated as if something occurred to him. "Sensei, is it true there's a paralyzed Nine-Tails farming spot inside Nanga Shrine?"

"???"

What the heck?! Nine-Tails?

...

A few days later.

The Ninja Football World Cup was about to begin.

Sasuke, still confused yet curious, followed Hanabi and her family toward the Land of Rain.

The Ninja Football World Cup seemed like a huge event. From the day before, people had been leaving the village one after another, all heading toward the Land of Rain.

And thanks to Boruto's help, Sasuke had now learned how to use a computer to gather information.

How to put it~

The fact that he could get information so easily made him feel uneasy. Could it be... fake?

The Land of Rain—

Once the base of the Akatsuki. Of course, there was an Akatsuki in this Ninja World too, but it seemed to be a legal organization now.

The Land of Rain's official rescue organization.

But those things didn't really matter.

He had truly come to treat this Ninja World as something both similar to and different from the one he knew.

Still... why hadn't Otsutsuki Urashiki shown up yet?

Could it be that he, too, was lost after seeing how strange this world was?

Originally, Sasuke didn't plan to leave Konoha. But when he heard the Fourth Hokage's family would be attending, and that Naruto himself would be participating in The Ninja Football World Cup, he decided to go too.

After all, Urashiki's target was the Nine-Tails.

Only—right now...

"Yo~, long time no see, Yuto."

"...?" Sasuke silently stared at the silver-haired, pervy-looking old man leaning out the car window. "Jiraiya-sama?!"

"Eh? A fan? Want an autograph?" Jiraiya cheerfully waved, then glanced at the blond boy—Boruto. He looked a bit surprised. "This kid looks a lot like Naruto."

"..." x5

Moments later—

"Ahem!" Yuto gave a fake cough and quickly changed the subject as he looked at Jiraiya. "What are you doing here?"

This guy had been traveling outside Konoha ever since the amusement park incident and rarely returned to the village.

"Me?" Jiraiya shrugged. "Minato suddenly called me. Sounded like something was up, so he asked me to swing by. Since The Ninja Football World Cup is happening too, I figured I'd grab a job on the way and head back. So—what do you say? Going to the Land of Rain? Do you want to hop in the van?"

"Didn't you take a job?" Yuto asked, puzzled.

"No worries! Everyone knows each other! Oh~ here they come!" Jiraiya waved to the people approaching from behind. "Right here!"

Everyone turned to look back—and froze.

There they saw—

The Uchiha Fugaku family, slowly strolling their way.

...

Meanwhile, in the Land of Rice Fields.

Inside Orochimaru's secret black-hearted processing factory.

I am Uchiha Madara.

Just a few days ago, I was brought back to the Ninja World through Impure World Reincarnation, and right now, I'm... an overworked 007 employee at Orochimaru's secret black processing factory!

Uchiha Madara angrily flung his arms and stared at Senju Tobirama in front of him. "That's enough! I won't do it anymore! This is too much! It's too humiliating! You should know I am—"

"What? You what?" Tobirama casually picked at his ear, straightened the nameplate on his chest with a proud smirk, then looked at the fuming Madara and felt a wave of satisfaction inside.

So satisfying!

You've come to this day!

Smiling at Uchiha Madara, he said, "Do you know who I am now? Look here! Right here!" He pointed to his nameplate, then said with an old-fashioned arrogance, "Workshop Supervisor! I'm telling you, Madara-chan, work hard! Don't slack off~"

"..."

Who're you calling Madara-chan?!
