The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

Chapter 183. Father-Son Love

---

It's a hit!

It's really a hit!

Unexpectedly, it's a huge hit!

Just like the previous [Uchiha Zha], after the premiere, numerous posts about [Meteor Konoha] began appearing online.

Since the Land of Water and the Land of Rain are now connected to the internet, the entire network has become much livelier.

[Demon of Kirigakure]: "Konoha has fallen. It's all about love and romance, with four men surrounding one woman—how ridiculous! Shameful! What's so interesting about women?"

A ninja seemingly from Kirigakure, this post... immediately drew a barrage of criticism from many women.

"What? What do you know?! Denji is so handsome, so domineering! And Haruki is so gentle!"

And some even... asked if Uchiha Nishikyo was Uchiha Obito.

"So handsome! I heard his fingers are very flexible! I want to see them!"

From the online reactions, it's clear...

This is indeed a hit!

Some men even posted directly...

[The Most Handsome Ninja of Konoha]: "That was decades ago. Now your idols are just old men, hunched over, faces full of wrinkles!"

Instantly—

"I like Shimura Denji! What does Shimura Danzo have to do with it?"

"Don't mess around! Sarutobi Haruki is not that old man Sarutobi Hiruzen! Don't insult my idol!"

"You're just jealous!"

"..."

Terrifying!

At this moment—

Konoha, Yuto Internet Cafe!

"Asuma, what's wrong?" Shiranui Genma asked, looking at Asuma, who was so angry he wanted to smash the keyboard. "Don't smash it! This is a new gaming keyboard—you'll have to pay if you break it!"

"Damn it! These idiots!" Asuma fumed. "What's so great about a bunch of old men?!"

"..."

Is it jealousy?

He's jealous that his father is so loved by many, while he is left alone, feeling no father's love!

Shiranui Genma felt he had uncovered the truth, sighed with emotion, and patted Asuma's shoulder.

"Don't worry! You still have us. The Third Hokage has always been protecting Konoha—he must be very busy, so he's neglected you..."

Before he could finish—

"Hehe! This old man has really handed me his weakness this time!" Asuma smirked slyly, very sinisterly. "I'll go tell Mom!"

With that, he ran off, not even staying for the usual newbie bullying activities.

"Manager... log me off!"

"This Asuma..." Shiranui Genma shook his head in amazement. "Never thought he had such a childish side! Maybe this is the bond between father and son!"

Just like in elementary school, teasing girls to get their attention.

After saying that—

Kakashi, next to him, rolled his dead-fish eyes, hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you think... Asuma really longs for his father's love?"

Doesn't seem like it!

That guy always talks about his old man quite arrogantly, almost wishing to see the Hokage in trouble!

He's been like that since school!

"Definitely!" Shiranui Genma picked his teeth with a senbon, shaking his head with melancholy. "That day..." He paused. "He cried when talking about his father!"

What a deep love!

…

"Achoo!"

"Hiruzen, now that the movie's done, if you're not feeling well, let a medical ninja check you out!"

"It's nothing! Just a sudden itch in my nose!" Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand cheerfully. "Come on! Let's celebrate! Let's celebrate!"

This time was different from the last two.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel it...

They've really made it!

They're going to make money!

"Hahaha! Celebrate!" Seeing his dear friend truly fine, Danzo also laughed heartily. "Let's celebrate!"

Looking at the table full of staff—

"Celebrate our movie's success!"

As soon as the words were spoken—

Glasses clinked.

Many people's faces flushed with excitement!

Only Danzo... though equally excited, hadn't forgotten his true purpose for making money!

First, to make those who once coveted his body out of reach!

Second, to place a reverse bounty on the bastards who had bountied him!

However...

Not to mention other things, even earning a billion is not that simple!

But this is just the first step of his success!

You need to have dreams—what if they come true?

"By the way!" Mitokado Homura leaned over and asked, "When can we get our share of the box office?"

"We'll have to wait a while!" Danzo glanced at Mitokado Homura. "After all, it's not just the Land of Fire! We need to compile the statistics!"

"Sigh, can't we get it immediately?"

"Don't worry, what's ours will be ours!" Danzo snorted coldly. "Who would dare embezzle our money?!"

Looking at the somewhat awkward Mitokado Homura, he added, "You're thinking too small! You're thinking too small! We're different now—we can't embarrass ourselves! Many young girls outside want our autographs!"

"I'm scared of being poor! I'm scared of being poor! I can't feel at ease without the money in my hands!" Mitokado Homura sighed with emotion, then cheerfully raised his glass. "Come on, everyone, drink!"

"Drink! Today, make sure to drink and eat well!"

As soon as Danzo finished speaking—

Instantly—

"Director Danzo, say a few words!"

"Director Danzo, say a few words! Director Danzo, say a few words!"

Everyone cheered again.

Danzo hesitated for a moment, then stood up with emotion. "Since that's the case, I'll take this opportunity to say a few words!"

As he spoke, his eyes grew misty, filled with memories and melancholy.

His voice, soft and calm, seemed to be full of stories.

"That day, I felt a sudden urge to dive into business..."

His magnetic voice slowly captured everyone's attention.

However—

Many people looked at each other in confusion.

This... scene seems somewhat familiar?

…

Glasses clinked.

Memories of the past.

The hardships of business were still vivid.

Soon—

The celebration party ended.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, still cheerful and with a kind smile, headed home!

They had succeeded!

This time...

They definitely wouldn't lose money!

Every time he thought of the 80 million that went down the drain, his heart ached!

Though he didn't say anything to Danzo on the surface, deep down, he felt quite uncomfortable. And sometimes, when he looked at Danzo's body, he felt hot… a fiery passion, giving rise to terrifying evil thoughts!

But he was the Hokage!

He couldn't do that!

If he made a move on Danzo, he would be scorned by the entire ninja world!

So, he held back!

Now that they had finally succeeded, what was lost would eventually return, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the smoking pipe from his mouth and said with a smile, "When we get the money, I should buy a computer for Asuma! That kid... Hmph! Does he really think I'm just playing around? It's all for his own good—to keep him from getting addicted!"

Being a father is really tiring!

He walked leisurely with his hands behind his back.

…

At the same time—

Asuma turned on the computer in his father's room and pointed at the screen, saying seriously, "Mom! Look! I suspect the old man has other intentions!"

As soon as the words were spoken—

Biwako's face stiffened slightly, but after a moment, she waved it off indifferently. "What nonsense are you talking about, little brat? Impossible! We trained together back then! If he had such intentions, you probably wouldn't have been born!"

"Mom, you... sigh!" Seeing his mother's indifference, Asuma shook his head in frustration, then lowered his voice and said, "Sometimes I see the old man sneaking around, grinning in front of the computer, laughing obscenely. But when I curiously go over to look, he immediately turns it off, hiding something. Who knows what secrets..."

Before he could finish—

Seeing his mother's eyes narrowing dangerously, Asuma nodded in satisfaction.

[It's... done!]
