The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World-Chapter 313. The Plan... is Gone!

Chapter 313. The Plan... is Gone!

---

Time flew by in a blur.

Very soon—

The ninjas from each village began preparing to return home.

Meanwhile, the giant corpse of Manda on the racetrack had already been recovered by Konoha. It was said that quite a few wealthy people had inquired about its price per pound for potential purchase~

However—

As a ninja village with summoning beasts from all three Sage Regions, Konoha had no intention of selling Manda for snake stew, concerned it might stir unnecessary controversy, so they refused.

Truly a pity!

This year's Ninja Grand Prix—while perhaps not the most successful—could still be considered a success overall.

After the tense and exhilarating races came to an end, life everywhere gradually returned to normal. As for Iwagakure's reparations... those would be discussed among the major villages, far beyond the knowledge or concern of a small-time rich guy like Yuto.

So, he didn't worry about it.

After all, Iwagakure still needed to ask him to hook up their internet.

At the same time—

As more and more viewers tuned in to the live broadcast or replays of the ninja racing tournament...

Konoha's Root Studio [Konoha Partners], Kumogakure's [Fast and Furious], and the Four-Tails Company all exploded in popularity.

Countless people remembered that back view—

The one...

That back branded with [Root Studio]!

He—

Alone, stood in the way of numerous Iwa ninjas, buying time for all the racers, making it possible for the competition to proceed!

Everyone remembered him clearly—and was moved.

And of course, there was also the thrilling race and the never-give-up champion, Biwa Juzo.

As a result—

Word had it that by the time they returned, pre-sale tickets for [Konoha Partners] and [Fast and Furious] were already sold out through the second week of screenings, and demand continued to grow. Meanwhile, the Four-Tails Company—due to the explosive popularity—had to urgently place a high-priced order with Sunagakure for additional production lines to expand capacity!

As for the championship car that was burnt to a crisp... it had been transported back to the Land of Rain, where it was now on display inside the Four-Tails Company.

The place had become a daily hotspot. Fans who hadn't witnessed the race live flocked there just to take photos and post on their [Ninstagram]—sparking another wave of popularity for the company.

You could say—

Ever since [Uchiha Zha] aired and the Nine-Tails plushie went viral, this time it was the Ninja Grand Prix that set the Four-Tails brand ablaze.

Even now, you could occasionally spot posts online flaunting the Four-Tails plushies they'd bought from the company!

It was a total hit!

Late autumn.

Winter was approaching, and the weather had grown slightly chilly.

Inside the milk tea shop, Yuto poured a cup of tea for the unexpected visitor, Jiraiya, and looked at him curiously: "You've got free time now? Shouldn't you be out back doing the lead dance or something? And... not following Tsunade-sama around?"

After the race ended, Jiraiya had driven the group of "Ninja Grand Prix" tourists back to Konoha.

At the time, with Konoha's new development plans underway and Tsunade back in the village, maybe that was part of why Jiraiya hadn't left to wander again right after returning.

After all—

The goddess was in the village~

"Ugh, don't even mention it. I'm low on money, so I'm staying in the village for a few days," Jiraiya sighed, shaking his head. As for how Yuto portrayed him as a simp—he just ignored it completely.

He was the dream of countless young girls in the ninja world.

A simp?

That was just his side hustle.

"Now even summoning beasts are thinking about making money. They are indeed very beastly~"

Just remembering how Gamabunta haggled with him over moving a van made his heart ache.

Orochimaru turned traitor for money. Tsunade was ready to sell her family estate for money. And now... even Gamabunta, who grew up with him, was acting the same way...

Was their bond really something that could be measured in money?

Vulgar!

What's wrong with helping him carry a van?

Anyway—

Ever since joining the Ninja Grand Prix, he'd just gotten poorer and poorer.

"Oh right!" Jiraiya suddenly remembered something and snapped out of his sighing. He looked at Yuto: "Gamabunta wanted me to ask—can Mount Myoboku get connected to the internet? Also, can the phones and computers be made a little bigger? Their fingers are too big to press the buttons!"

Hearing that—

Yuto: "..."

Even summoning beasts are living trendy lives now?

They're using smartphones too?!

When thinking about the future...

If the Fourth Ninja World War really does break out, and Gamakichi is gripping the giant blade passed down by his father, Gamabunta, with a grown-up Naruto riding on top, cutting through enemies as they charge toward the Ten Tails—

Suddenly—

A phone call comes through.

Gamakichi slams on the brakes, pulls out his phone with a serious look on his face. "Moshi moshi?"

Gamabunta: "Kichi~ Are you done yet? It's time to eat. Come home."

And then—

Gamakichi hangs up the call, looks seriously at Naruto and says, "It's time to get off work now. I should go back to eat, but overtime work must be paid overtime~"

This scene...

It's just too beautiful.

Yuto suddenly shivered. "Is it in the Ninja World?"

"Mount Myoboku?" Jiraiya blinked slightly, then nodded and said, "Though it's in an unknown space, it is within the Ninja World!"

"Then that's fine!"

"Really?"

"Really! As long as it's within the Ninja World, my Yuto Group can cover the network."

Unknown space?

Worst case, just build a bigger signal tower.

"All you need to do is get the money ready."

"That so?" Jiraiya sighed, shook his head helplessly, then let out another sigh. "Looks like next time I want to contact Bunta, I'll just need to make a call."

If that's the case, then forget it~

After all, he'd already promised Gamabunta—

If he didn't agree, Bunta probably wouldn't help carry his rides next time.

He still didn't know what the heck Gamabunta was trying to run internet cables for in Mount Myoboku.

After finishing up the Bunta matter, Jiraiya also took his leave—it seemed he had to lead a team tonight, and it was about time.

Grab a bite, gather materials, then go lead those old... um, lovely ladies in their dance.

Right now—

He's the Vice Chairman of the Konoha Square Dance Association, Friend of Ladies, Dream Lover of the Ninja World, and a celebrated literary master. Got a lot on his plate.

Especially since he's been a bit short on money lately, so he's planning to finish writing the next volume quickly.

Yuto didn't stop him, just shook his head, poured himself a cup of hot tea to warm up a bit, then glanced over at Suzune, who seemed deep in thought.

"What's on your mind?"

"Hmm?" Suzune snapped out of it, looked at Yuto and gave a small smile, shaking her head. "It's nothing! Just... didn't the First and Second Hokage show up a while back?"

She'd been there at the time, so even though it seemed unbelievable, she'd seen it with her own eyes.

"What, did the First Hokage's calligraphy spike in price again?" Yuto looked at Suzune curiously.

Honestly—

Ever since Hashirama and Tobirama reappeared, the already pricey landscape paintings by the First Hokage saw another wave of inflation.

However—

There wasn't much of the First and Second Hokage's original writing left in the world, so the prices kept getting driven higher by collectors.

Especially since he had one too—bought it from Mitokado Homura back then—and lots of people were eyeing it!

Only...

His was just a blank sheet...

Would anyone dare to buy it if he dared to sell it?

"No~" Suzune rolled her eyes helplessly. Thinking of the supposedly First Hokage–left blank sheet at home, she couldn't help feeling a little defeated too. She shook her head. "Didn't the village plan to redevelop the area a while ago?"

Back then, Yuto Group had planned to bid on the project, hoping the village would hand it over to them—but it hadn't started yet.

"Since the area happens to be within the Senju clan's land, the village could only keep acquiring plots. But..." She paused, then continued, "Because during the Ninja Grand Prix, after the First and Second Hokage showed up... a lot of people in the village now feel it's not right to redevelop that land. They think it's a legacy of the First Hokage and shouldn't be destroyed!"

Hearing that—

Yuto fell silent for a moment, then sighed and shook his head as well. "Now that is a disaster!"

Tsunade—

She's not going to be so mad she smashes the Hokage building again, is she~
