The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 182. It's a Hit!

---

Today is slightly cool.

A perfect day for watching movies.

Yuto's mouth twitched as he looked at the promotional poster in front of the cinema... The First and Second Hokage's faces carved into the rock, beneath them stood four handsome men with calm smiles and a pure-looking woman, all gazing up at the starry sky together.

[Handsome guy, who are you?!]

Although he had already seen the preview, he still hadn't fully recovered from it. If it weren't for promising Suzune to accompany her to the movie—

He.

Uchiha Yuto!

A kind businessman of the ninja world!

He would definitely not watch this eye-stinging film a second time!

This familiar taste... almost made him suspect if there was a second time traveler or if the system had taken on a side job and sold another script to Danzo.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo's smug claims that this was merely a modified version of their youthful days at the Konoha Ninja Academy, Uchiha Yuto didn't believe a single word of it!

Stop kidding.

Was your ninja academy life some kind of idol drama?

Stop kidding!

"Yuto, what's wrong?" Just as Yuto was lamenting that people's hearts were no longer the same and were filled with shamelessness, Suzune beside him asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No! Just feeling a bit relieved..." Yuto looked up at a 45-degree angle, his eyes seemingly filled with melancholy. "Konoha's entertainment industry is thriving more and more!"

"???"

Yuto sometimes says such strange things!

Suzune blinked, then looked down at the promotional poster. "Meteor Konoha... it looks really good!" she murmured. "Shimura Denji, Sarutobi Hajime, Mitokado Haruki, Uchiha Nishikyo... such a familiar story! Is it about the Third Hokage's youth? I've heard from seniors that the Third Hokage was very handsome in his youth, and it's true!"

"..."

I suspect they used beauty filters!

Yuto rolled his eyes, estimated the time, and said helplessly, "Let's go! It's about to start!"

He directly pulled Suzune and Pakura, who had come along for the fun and also planned to promote her movies, inside.

At this moment—

The premiere was quite crowded.

After all, even though the Third Hokage had retired and recently suffered business losses, his reputation remained unscathed.

Especially this film... it was no ordinary one!

Screenwriter: Mitokado Homura.

Director: Shimura Danzo.

Assistant Director: Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Actor: Uchiha Obito.

One Hokage, two advisors, and even the seemingly insignificant actor was a famous ninja in the ninja world.

With such a lineup... who wouldn't be curious?

Many clan leaders even specially brought their clan members to show support, and for a time... movie tickets were booked three days in advance.

Hot!

The cinema was instantly packed!

At this moment—

The three, after a simple disguise, were filled with excitement upon seeing the bustling cinema!

"We... succeeded!" Mitokado Homura laughed heartily. "See! We are definitely going to succeed!"

Laughing, laughing, shouting—tears involuntarily streamed from his cloudy eyes.

Thinking of his rise from a commoner to a Hokage advisor, working diligently for Konoha without a moment's rest, only to... accidentally take a wrong step!

He regretted it!

But it's okay.

No matter where he is, Mitokado Homura will surely succeed!

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him trembled as he held his smoking pipe. Having failed twice... this time, doing things properly, not losing money for mere applause, it seemed... they really succeeded!

However—

Before he could take a puff—

"Hey, what's with all the shouting in the cinema? And no smoking inside!"

A displeased moviegoer behind them told them to keep it down.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said cheerfully. "I forgot!"

He quickly put away his smoking pipe.

"You're thinking too small! You're thinking too small!" Danzo crossed his arms, looking at them with disappointment. "This is just our first step! Embarrassing!"

Though his trembling shoulders also showed that he was not entirely calm inside!

Suddenly—

"It's starting!"

Someone shouted, and instantly, the entire cinema fell silent, everyone's eyes fixed on the big screen.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two quickly turned their heads to look.

It's starting!

The big screen lit up.

As per tradition, no matter what, advertisements came first.

Even if Shimura Danzo and the others didn't have ads... Yuto forcefully inserted his own advertisements.

[Yuto Milk Tea, everyone who's tried it says it's great!]

[There's nothing a barbecue can't solve, and if there is, come to Yuto BBQ!]

[Yuto Games, creating happiness with heart!]

After the ads, the story began.

This film tells the story of four major families sending their elite heirs to the Ninja Academy, where they meet a commoner girl pursuing her dreams, leading to a melodramatic tale of love, hate, and drama!

Right from the start—

The handsome guys and beautiful girls immediately caught everyone's attention, and Yuto grew increasingly suspicious... they definitely used beauty filters back then.

Of course, there were still some scenes that felt out of place, like Obito...

A ninja who was supposed to have no interest in women, yet here he was playing the role of a playboy, Uchiha Nishikyo, who decides to reform for the sake of Haruna.

It was Uchiha Obito... his image from the Third Ninja World War was too deeply ingrained—a hero of the war, Konoha's Thunder Finger, Konoha's Ass-aulter.

But now he's playing a playboy? It was just too out of character. Though after a while, it did give a refreshing feeling!

A different vibe!

Especially in the next scene.

Because of a small misunderstanding, Shimura Denji and Uchiha Nishikyo engage in an awkward dance in the rain.

The heavy rain pours down.

Meanwhile... Haruna, looking pained, keeps shouting, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

It was heart-wrenching!

Although Yuto really wanted to ask—was Utatane Koharu that much of a heartthrob when she was young?

But—

This scene instantly grabbed everyone's attention, their eyes glued to the screen.

Indeed, no matter the era, melodramas are always attractive.

"Holy crap!" Asuma, who came with Kakashi and the others, was so shocked he almost dropped his popcorn. Turning to look at Kakashi, who was rolling his eyes, he sighed in amazement, "Is this what they mean by art comes from life?"

This is insane!

Who would have thought this was something the old man and the others made?!

I underestimated him!

I underestimated him!

As expected, the old man who could become Hokage is definitely more than just an old man.

Asuma stared in awe at the screen as the story progressed, with the next scenes showing four men fighting over one woman's love, all sorts of melodrama unfolding, and the interference from their families, making everyone exclaim...

Amazing!

Amazing!

However—

"Isn't the old man afraid of getting beaten to death by Mom?" Asuma felt like he had discovered something important, his eyes flickering. Perhaps... he might be able to get his computer back.

Soon—

As time passed, the story neared its end.

In the end—

They didn't end up with Haruna but became very good friends, watching meteors on the Hokage Rock, the starry sky like flames lighting up the entire night, leading them to understand the Will of Fire. Then, to protect Konoha, they all went to the battlefield after graduation.

But… the audience was left wanting more!

It seemed the story wasn't over—maybe there was a sequel?

This ending really gives you a stomachache!

Even Yuto, watching it again, felt his stomach cramp up.

But looking at the two girls beside him, so moved that even though the movie had ended, they still hadn't snapped out of it...

He knew.

This film.

It is really going to be a hit!
