The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

[V2] - 27. Serious Person

---

Danzo waved his hand with a calm expression, completely indifferent to the looks around him.

That was the Danzo from another Ninja World—what did it have to do with this Shimura Danzo?

But still—

He truly hadn't expected there to actually be another, different Ninja World?!

It was truly shocking!

Just this piece of information... was worth at least tens of billions!

At this moment—

After understanding that this Ninja World was this Ninja World, and that Ninja World was that one, everyone withdrew their gazes and fell into deep thought.

"So the Fourth Hokage invited us here because of..." Yahiko mused slightly and glanced at Nagato beside him, who was also frowning. "The Rinnegan?"

"That's right. Although those events happened in another world, the two Ninja Worlds do share some similarities," Minato said with a helpless smile. "So since Nagato possesses the Rinnegan, that means Uchiha Madara is still alive—well, maybe already dead now—but in any case, we must prevent that hidden Black Zetsu!"

Even though this Ninja World's development seemed a little different—like how he and Kushina were still alive—it couldn't be ruled out that this world's Madara might also be planning an Infinite Tsukuyomi!

So, the Rinnegan... must be handled with caution!

"Of course, the most important thing right now is to capture that Otsutsuki Urashiki who arrived in this world!"

As those words fell—

Everyone's expressions grew tense again.

After all, with such a ticking time bomb in the Ninja World, everyone was deeply concerned.

You know, this Ninja World was much more peaceful than the other one.

If a terrible war were sparked because of it—what then?

Thinking this, they all turned their eyes to Uchiha Sasuke standing to the side. This Uchiha Sasuke, from the other Ninja World, was more familiar with Urashiki Otsutsuki.

"I have indeed been tracking him these past days, but... I've always been a step too late," Sasuke said with a helpless sigh. He thought for a moment. "Based on current information, Urashiki's target is Uzumaki Naruto and the Nine-Tails!"

As he finished speaking—

Everyone turned again to look at Namikaze Minato, who wore a wry smile and nodded.

One was the tailed beast inside his wife, the other was his son.

He, too, felt quite helpless.

"I'll make sure to protect Naruto and Kushina!" Minato looked at everyone seriously. "And I'll be relying on you all from now on!"

At this point, he glanced at the still-silent Uchiha Clan Leader. "The village's safety will be entrusted to the Konoha Police Force, and the Anbu will also cooperate."

After assigning a few more tasks—

The meeting came to an end.

From here on out...

Everyone would probably need some time to digest all this shocking information—especially Yahiko and Nagato... The two of them had been giving Yuto strange looks ever since learning about the other Ninja World.

Though they were very surprised to learn they had both died in that world... right now, they were even more curious about just when Brother Yuto had learned all of this.

Especially Nagato.

When he saw his other self becoming a God and dying, his lips couldn't help but twitch.

He clearly remembered... back when he was little, Brother Yuto had always asked him whether he wanted to become a God.

Back then...

Yuto: "This is the Rinnegan, the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths!"

Me: "Who?"

Yuto: "Eh... basically a God of the Ninja World! Possessing the power of a God!"

Me: "That already doesn't sound like a serious person!"

Yuto: "Exactly! What serious person wants to be a god?"

Me: "Right!"

Yuto: "So do you want to be one?"

Me: "I don't!"

At the time he thought it was just Brother Yuto having a mental illness—but now it seemed... maybe Brother Yuto had known something from the start.

However—

When Uzumaki Nagato recalled how his other self sat in a wheelchair, claiming to be the Six Paths of Pain and the God of the Ninja World, his lips twitched again and a shiver ran down his spine.

That version of him...

He was definitely not a serious person!

Just as they walked out of the meeting room—

"So, what's it like seeing yourself become a God?" Brother Yuto ran up with a look of admiration, slapping Nagato's shoulder. "So cool—God in a wheelchair!"

"That's not me!"

"Want to be a god? You're the man with the Rinnegan!"

"Get lost!"

"Becoming a God's not bad—bringing pain to the Ninja World, carrying sacks of rice up several floors! How glorious! But the legs are lame!"

[T/N: If you don't remember, sacks of rice, a Chinese meme reference to Nagato's dialogues.]

"Universal Pull!"

"..."

Yuto, sent flying, got up cheerfully, patted the dust off his butt, and looked toward the fleeing Nagato with a wistful sigh. "Nagato really does have the makings of a God!"

"Brother Yuto, stop teasing him already!" Yahiko beside him smiled wryly and shook his head. "Nagato... Nagato has been through a lot too."

A burst of emotion.

Maybe if he really had died, Nagato would've taken up his will... and become... a God?

Thinking this, Yahiko couldn't help but smile as well. He looked at Brother Yuto. "Brother Yuto... did you actually know all along?"

"Just a teeny, tiny bit."

"Brother Yuto..."

"That's enough! No need to say anything!" Yuto sighed, patting Yahiko on the shoulder as he was about to speak. "Go check on Nagato! If he gets too embarrassed and angry, he might really try to bring pain to the Ninja World!"

He is running off with the Rinnegan in the middle of the night!

"..." Yahiko looked at Brother Yuto with an exasperated grin and shook his head. "Nagato wouldn't do that!" He paused, then added, "Of course, as long as Brother Yuto, you don't keep teasing him!"

Otherwise—

Who knows what might happen if he really gets mad!

Hahaha!

Thinking of Nagato having fled earlier, he gave a sigh and said, "I'll go check on Nagato then!"

He gave a quick farewell and left in a flash.

Yuto waved a hand, smiling as he watched Yahiko leave, muttering to himself, "Remember... there's still another guy in the village preparing to become a God!"

The one creating a world with Rin?!

What a pity.

I guess Minato was probably worried that something unexpected might happen to the love triangle, which had finally calmed down, so today Kakashi and Obito didn't show up either.

Otherwise—

He would've had a good laugh at it!

Turning his head, he looked at Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Sasuke, who were just staring at each other without saying a word.

Those two—father and son—really looked quite awkward!

It was his fault too!

Blame him!

Fugaku would probably end up having to look up at the Hyuga Clan Leader!

Yuto sighed deeply and walked over. "Everyone just goes about their own business. You can call him—"

Before he could finish—

Uchiha Fugaku, with a blank expression, patted Sasuke on the shoulder, then gave Yuto a cold "Hmph," glanced at him indifferently, and turned to leave.

He didn't say a word.

Still the same as always!

"Don't worry. Brother Fugaku is just not good at expressing his feelings," Yuto said casually, also patting Sasuke on the shoulder. "He still acknowledges you as his son!"

"..." Sasuke's eyelid twitched. He looked at Yuto expressionlessly and hesitated slightly, "Move away!"

This guy is so annoying!

He disappeared on the spot!

"You're embarrassed!" Yuto sighed and shook his head, then glanced at the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo who had already gotten in the car and left... and said nothing.

He walked slowly toward home.

He wondered if Yumi and the others had come back from playing?

In a few days, he needed to prepare to connect the moon to the internet!

...

And at the same time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's side...

He looked at Danzo who was sitting aside and still in deep thought. Since the meeting ended, Shimura Danzo had been in deep thought, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

You're not still thinking about what the other Danzo did, right~

"Danzo, you..." He sighed, "Don't worry too much about it. That was something done by the other Danzo in the Ninja World. It has nothing to do with you!"

"I'm not thinking about that!" Danzo came back to his senses, shook his head, and sneered disdainfully, "A guy with such a small mind is worthy of being called Danzo?"

You know, he is Shimura Danzo, who dared to start a business even with huge debts. How could he be another sneaky and slippery guy who would even roll and crawl when he was about to be caught?!

"You say..." After a slight pause, his eyes flashed, "Do we have a way to open the Root Group to another Ninja World?!"

"???"

Before Hiruzen could react—

Danzo sighed again, his lips curled up slightly, "This is an untapped market! A huge market! It looks like... we have to conduct experiments again!"
