Chapter 3. Become My Son

---

Today,

I have officially become a ninja! 

And… I've even become teammates with Rin, and that annoying guy is coming back! 

I'm really happy today!

Uchiha Obito strode forward confidently, his shoulders bouncing with a hint of arrogance. However, suddenly, he felt a shadow in front of him, as if someone were blocking his way. As a promising young man who understood civility and politeness, Uchiha Obito immediately stepped aside to let them pass.

But after stepping aside, he was blocked again.

"Do you need help?" Uchiha Obito raised his head in confusion, only to see a handsome young man with black hair standing in front of him. He wasn't wearing a ninja forehead protector, so he didn't seem to be a ninja.

But he was so young; he didn't look like someone who needed help!

Before he could ask why he was blocking his way… 

"Youth, I haven't eaten in many days. Could you lend me some money for food?" the young man said weakly. "I would be very grateful!"

At this, Obito was indeed shocked. Looking at the young man in front of him, he exclaimed, "You haven't eaten in a long time?"

"Yes! I'm about to faint from hunger!"

"That won't do! You have to eat well. I have…" Obito pulled out a few copper coins awkwardly. "This is all I have left! You can have it all, brother!"

"That's too little; it's not even enough for a bowl of Ichiraku ramen with an egg!"

"...…" Even in a situation like this, he still wants Ichiraku ramen?

And with an egg? 

This guy!

Even I've never eaten like that!

Feeling deceived, Obito's expression stiffened as he took a closer look at the newcomer. 

He was tall, clean-looking, and slightly less attractive than Obito himself, but still quite handsome. He didn't look like someone who couldn't afford food!

At that moment, Obito realized he must have been tricked. 

"Hey, hey, you…"

Before he could finish his sentence, the young man interrupted, "Everyone says Uchiha Obito is charitable, kind-hearted, and a good person in Konoha, the inheritor of the Will of Fire. I didn't expect him not to treat a hungry person who haven't eaten in days to a bowl of ramen. I'm so disappointed! I must tell others—it's all a lie!"

"You…" Obito was furious, thinking, How could there be such shameless people in Konoha? But taking a deep breath and recalling his good reputation as a kind person in Konoha, he could only helplessly say, "Fine, I'll take you to my house for a meal! My grandma cooks really well, even better than Ichiraku ramen!"

Damn it!

This annoying guy! 

"But if you deceive me, I will definitely show you the power of the future Hokage!"

Just as he finished his angry words…

"Good! Not bad! You're qualified!" The young man in front of him smiled slightly, nodding in satisfaction. "Your kindness and noble character impressed me, young man. You possess sincerity and goodness that are rare. I really admire you. Don't be a ninja; come work for me! I'll give you a job as a clerk. After a year, you'll be promoted to supervisor; after three years, you'll be the store owner; in five years, you'll be a regional manager; and in ten years, you'll be a vice president!"

"Who—who wants to work for you? I'm a man who wants to become the Hokage! And you, a poor guy, what are you pretending to be? I have no money to be scammed by you!"

"Don't be hasty. Just call me Dad and I'll take you as my adopted son. I'll treat you like my own, and after a hundred years, all my inheritance will be yours."

"Who would call you Dad?"

"Do you know what you're missing out on? My assets are beyond your imagination. You'd need to complete dozens of S-rank missions to earn the amount I make in a year. Right now, they're booming, and I'm sure they'll multiply several times over! Once you inherit them, you'll have endless money to spend! You can use it to help people, buy things you love, live in a luxurious house, and with your beloved by your side, you'll never have to worry about food or clothing. You could have three daughters and two sons, all inheriting your vast wealth."

"Hehe, three daughters and two sons…" Obito suddenly smiled lewdly for no reason, then went into a daze, mumbling to himself, "That sounds amazing…"

"So, do you agree? Don't be a busy ninja running around. Just come work for me. Call me Dad now." The man was tempting him, saying, "You'll have everything: more time to spend with your grandma and your beloved! Come on! I'll take you as my son!"

"Who! Who wants to be your son?" Obito came back to his senses and shouted again, "I swore that I would become Hokage! Rin is watching me. How can I easily give up my dream? And you, who can't even afford a bowl of Ichiraku ramen, don't try to deceive me!"

"Young man, do you know what you're missing out on?"

"I will definitely become Hokage!"

"Very good! I'm really starting to like you more and more. Here's an opportunity: you can come back anytime if you change your mind." The young man patted Obito's shoulder, turned to leave, and said earnestly, "Just don't wait until I regret it!"

"I! Uchiha Obito!" Uchiha Obito raised his kunai with a determined tone, "I keep my word; I will never regret this. This is my ninja way!"

As he finished speaking, he watched the man walk away. 

What a lunatic!

He snorted coldly and headed toward his house. 

…

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yuto sighed softly, "Is that how it is?"

"Does Yuto-kun really like kids?" Hyuga Suzune, who was nearby, furrowed her brows and asked seriously, "But I think Yuto-kun's own children would be even cuter!"

"No! I'm just looking for some fun," Uchiha Yuto shook his head with a smile. If Obito really came to do business with him, he would actually feel a bit scared—after all, he had people behind him! 

Right now, he simply couldn't provoke them! 

His business was thriving… With the support of the system, he had absolute confidence. Just like the bubble tea shop he had now—anything produced by the system had special abilities. 

Not only was the taste consistently delicious, but it also had the ability to attract customers. As he leveled up, the power to attract customers increased. 

It was like a form of psychological suggestion; when someone passed by the bubble tea shop, they would suddenly feel an urge to go in and try it, guaranteeing steady income!

So, how could he go bankrupt? 

Unless he died or the shop was demolished. 

He pondered for a moment. "Also, remember to go to the Hokage Building later and issue some missions—the kind that are dirty, tiring, and stinky, specifically for the Namikaze Minato squad. The reward can be a bit higher." 

"...Okay." Although Suzune was puzzled as to why Yuto wanted to commission such strange tasks, she still obediently complied without asking anything further, smiling gently, "I'll arrange it." 

"I have also made some arrangements, especially for elderly health checks and fitness activities… I'll plan it out for you later." 

"Understood!" Hyuga Suzune nodded, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are you preparing to leave Konoha in the next few days, Yuto-kun? Can I..." 

Before she could finish, Uchiha Yuto smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I have some business to arrange outside. I'm leaving Konoha to you." 

"...I will take good care of things here for Yuto-kun." Hyuga Suzune paused for a moment and then smiled gently, "Please don't worry." 

"It's fine! If something unexpected happens, just don't worry about it; the most important thing is to protect yourself." 

"Mm." After a pause, Hyuga Suzune said softly, "Thank you, Yuto-kun." 

…

Meanwhile. 

Over at the Hokage Building. 

"Good! Good! Good!" Sarutobi Hiruzen repeated the word "good" three times, then carefully folded the paper in front of him, sighing, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a strong Will of Fire in a written piece." As he said this, he shook his head, "What a pity! He could have become a ninja with an excellent Will of Fire!" 

"Hmph! A coward! How can one become an excellent ninja without courage?" Danzo, who was old but still robust, snorted coldly. "He could have graduated early but delayed it, and after graduation… he directly chose not to be a ninja." 

Back then, he had also noticed that Uchiha Yuto could write well. Even Danzo, the shadow of the ninja world, couldn't help but applaud; his talent was not bad. 

What a pity.

He was a coward, afraid of becoming a ninja, and ended up going straight into business. 

Of course, he noticed. A mere Uchiha clansman who could have become a Jonin wasn't worth his attention unless he had the potential… to awaken those terrifying eyes. 

However, with such character, how could he possibly awaken those eyes? 

"Alright, alright! I also feel a bit regretful!" Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't seem to care much and said cheerfully, "What a pity! So much time has passed; I suppose it's a bit late for him to want to become a ninja again. By the way, you haven't told me why you came to see me." 

"Hmph! It's nothing!" Danzo snorted again, "I just heard that you received 300 million…" 

"…"
