The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

[V2] - 28. The Beginning of Workers' Liberation

---

On the same day the meeting ended—

The ninjas from both Konoha and the Land of Rain took action, starting to investigate the whereabouts of Otsutsuki Urashiki.

Of course—

Most of the ninjas were simply carrying out the orders issued from above. Only a few actually knew the real reason behind it.

However—

Urashiki had not shown up for several days. No one knew where he had gone into hiding. It was originally believed that his target was Uzumaki Naruto and the Nine-Tails, but even though Sasuke had stayed in the village for several days, he still hadn't caught a glimpse of him.

At this point—

Even Sasuke started to wonder what that guy was really up to.

Could it be that Naruto was just a decoy and that Urashiki... actually had another hidden agenda?

For a moment—

Sasuke felt a bit uneasy.

What exactly was Urashiki here for, in this Ninja World?

Even though this was another world, after seeing his father, his mother, and Onii-chan, he genuinely hoped this version of the world could continue to be a happy one!

If disaster came to this world because of them, he knew he would regret it deeply in his heart.

So, Sasuke had been quite busy the past few days.

As for Boruto...

He was just a kid.

This version of Konoha hadn't sunk to the point of needing a child to save the world, so right now, he was busy playing video games with his other dad and the other Uncle Sasuke.

Minato also fully supported this.

After all—

That was his grandson. And if Naruto and Boruto stayed in the village playing games, that was far better than them running wild outside.

It was just that lately, the way the Hyuga Clan Leader looked at him and his son—Minato could sense that the gaze was growing darker and colder.

If he didn't know the real reason, Minato might have already started to suspect that the Hyuga clan was unhappy with the village and was preparing for a coup.

You could say Minato had his hands full too—

Not just with village matters, but with family ones as well. And he still wanted to maintain good relations with his in-laws!

But for some reason...

Every time the word "Hyuga" was mentioned, Naruto would tremble all over and shake his head nonstop!

It was really worrying!

Of course—

None of this had anything to do with Yuto.

He was just an ordinary businessman. As for his status as a ninja—that had been revoked right after graduation. He hadn't been a ninja in a long time.

That night—

Noticing Hanabi sitting at the computer, busy with something, Yuto walked over, puzzled.

After all—

Hanabi rarely played games or used the computer, but lately she had been glued to it for some reason.

And just a few days ago, she was running around playing wildly with the kids.

Could it be that she was getting ready to go back and just wanted to go crazy one last time in this Ninja World?

"What are you doing?" He glanced at the screen. "Editing?"

"Yes!" Hanabi smiled brightly and nodded, not even looking up as she continued editing. "Didn't I collect..." She paused slightly, "a little bit of interesting stuff over the years? I'm preparing to let Sasuke and Boruto take it back with them!"

Upon hearing this—

Yuto immediately exclaimed in horror, "You're planning to start the Fifth Ninja World War!"

"..." Hanabi rolled her eyes. She knew Yuto was just joking and snapped, "Yes! Yes! I'm going to bring pain to the other Ninja World!"

"Do you want to become a God?"

"Hahaha~" Hanabi couldn't help but laugh at that. She suddenly remembered the other day with Uzumaki Nagato.

Yuto had immediately latched onto him, saying, "Do you want to become a God? Do you want to bring pain to the Ninja World?" Nagato was so furious he almost used Almighty Push on Yuto and sealed him on the spot.

Pursing her lips, Hanabi gave Yuto a playful kick, "Annoying! Don't bother me. I've already messed up my editing. I just want to let my sister and the others see this version of the Ninja World!"

However—

This time, Yuto didn't respond to her banter right away. He pulled up a chair beside her and looked at her seriously, which made Hanabi confused, "What's wrong?"

"You really don't plan to go back?"

"I still want to see Dad and my sister again, and if possible, take Yumi and the others to meet Grandpa, but..." Hinata gave Yuto a sidelong glance and said, "If I go back, I might not be able to return again!" She paused. "I already have a home here."

Maybe—

Even she didn't realize it, but the person who had been searching for a way back all this time had ultimately chosen to stay.

Hanabi's lips curled into a soft smile. She glanced at Yuto beside her. "Drink with me tonight?"

...

On the other side—

"???"

Is it you who has a problem, or is it me?

Orochimaru looked at the phone in his hand, the call already ended, a troubled expression on his pale, feminine face. "Research a way to travel through parallel worlds?"

What kind of nonsense is that?

Could Shimura Danzo have read too many of Jiraiya's novels and now want to travel to another world?

Early in the morning, he called with a bizarre request, asking him to research a way to traverse dimensions. This was really asking too much—probably even the Second Hokage can't do it~

"Forget it, as long as the funding comes through, whether or not the research actually works... that's not my concern~"

There is money to be made!

Why not take it?!

At the thought of the Second Hokage—

Orochimaru couldn't help but feel helpless again.

Those two had been fighting for a long time, constantly trying to one-up each other. It was exhausting. If this went on much longer... and if the Impure World Reincarnation weren't in place, they might've just tried to kill each other off, then inherit the factory and give orders to the other.

Was this just about pride?

But no matter how you looked at it... it was all incredibly childish!

Who would have thought—

That the legendary Uchiha Madara and the Second Hokage would engage in such a petty struggle.

Of course—

During this time... Orochimaru had gained quite a lot himself!

For example, the Hashirama's face on Madara's chest!

Orochimaru had been shocked when he saw it. He thought maybe the bond between the First Hokage and Madara had reached the point where they carved each other's faces into their bodies. But... it turned out to be the result of implanting Hashirama's cells.

A truly valuable subject for research!

"It looks like there must be some hidden secret between the Senju and Uchiha clans," Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself in his eerie voice. "I wonder what surprises those two will bring me next?"

To be honest...

It was actually quite entertaining!

...

"This can't go on any longer!"

"???" White Zetsu looked confusedly at Madara, who had contacted him out of nowhere today.

It's very strange!

He didn't understand.

Suddenly being summoned, and then Madara suddenly declaring that things couldn't go on like this.

Could it be that Madara-sama had discovered something?

Was he planning to quit?

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What is it, Madara-sama?"

As soon as he finished speaking—

Madara's eyes widened, and a serious expression appeared on his face. "This evil processing factory must be destroyed as soon as possible! Such an evil place, making steamed buns out of human ashes! It's truly abominable! I—"

He paused, then emphasized—

"I, Uchiha Madara, will definitely destroy this place and liberate all the enslaved workers here!"

It was powerful and resolute, full of determination!

Even White Zetsu was stunned.

So...

What exactly was Madara-sama planning?

He didn't get it at all!

However—

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Madara's lips, and a bizarre gleam shone in his eyes.

He—

No longer intended to play this boring game with that guy anymore.

However—

The constraints of the Impure World Reincarnation... would need a solution first!

Lowering his head, he gazed once more at the shocked White Zetsu. "It's time for you all to act!"
