The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World-Chapter 323. Team Formation

Chapter 323. Team Formation

---

Although, as the child of him—the Fourth Hokage—enrolling in the academy shouldn't be too much trouble, there was still the entrance ceremony speech later, so he took a day off specifically to accompany his wife and child for registration.

To be honest—

His kid... Naruto was finally going to the academy!

Inside, he felt both relieved and gratified.

What could they do?

As the child of him and Kushina, this brat clearly inherited Kushina's hyperactive energy—always causing trouble since he was little!

It made it impossible for him and Kushina to enjoy any couple's time or even try for a little brother or sister for the kid!

Now—

The kid was finally in the academy.

There was a real sense that the hard days were over.

Minato, grinning, looked at Yuto, who had just given a monetary gift to his son, and said, "What's up? Did you come today just to see how the new students register? Planning to enroll your own kid later?"

Thinking back to his junior back then—Uchiha Yuto—Minato felt a bit nostalgic.

Because of his strong Will of Fire and solid talent, even Jiraiya-sensei had once considered taking him as a student. But unexpectedly, this guy—

Despite qualifying for early graduation—flat-out refused.

Then, after completing all his studies, he surprised everyone again by requesting to withdraw from the ninja path entirely, choosing to go into business instead.

At the time—

Many people were shocked, sneered, or ridiculed him, thinking the Uchiha clan had produced a psychopath or something!

But now—

The Yuto Group was thriving more than ever!

As Minato spoke, he smiled and nodded at Hanabi beside them, asking curiously, "Where are Suzune and Honoka?"

"They're with Sister Mikoto."

"Oh? Clan Leader Fugaku came to register too?" Minato paused for a moment, then smiled again. "Looks like Clan Leader Fugaku's child might end up being Naruto's classmate!"

However—

What kind of arrangement was this?

One is placed with his sister-in-law, the other just being taken around everywhere.

Yuto's ideas really weren't something ordinary people could understand~

No wonder his business kept getting bigger and bigger.

He always did the unexpected!

And at that moment—

Hyuga Hanabi looked at Naruto and asked with a smile, "Naruto, what's your dream?"

Once a lonely boy misunderstood by his village—the Seventh Hokage, in this world, now had both his parents by his side.

What would his dream be now? It really made people curious!

"To be with Dad and Mom!" Little Naruto said confidently. "I'm going to be just like my dad and protect Konoha!"

No matter the world—

Uzumaki Naruto was always that confident and optimistic~

Hyuga Hanabi was stunned for a moment. Looking at that confident figure, her heart felt full and warm.

She had finally seen a familiar presence among Konoha's golden generation.

It wasn't easy at all!

She gave him a thumbs-up, nodded, and said with a smile, "That's a great dream! You'll definitely achieve it!"

Minato also smiled proudly, ruffling Naruto's hair. Then, looking up at Hanabi, who was taking pictures of the family, he looked a little puzzled but didn't think much of it. When it seemed about time, he turned to Yuto and said, "I should register Naruto now too." He rubbed his forehead with a bit of a headache. "I still have to go up and give a speech about Konoha's future later! After that... shall we grab a drink?"

"Sure!"

With that—

He led his wife and child inside. As for Hanabi... she didn't go looking for more people to ask about their dreams. Instead, she lingered for a while, watching the family of the Fourth Hokage, a small smile at the corners of her lips.

Sasuke's dream... let's not talk about that for now.

But her sister's dream to protect her family, and the Seventh Hokage's dream to be with his family and become Hokage... those were wonderful dreams~

However—

She suddenly remembered something, and her eyelid twitched.

As was known—

Her father no longer imposed harsh expectations on her sister like before, nor was he disappointed in her. So, her sister never ran off alone into the winter cold to cry, never got bullied by other kids, and the wandering Seventh Hokage never came to rescue her...

A flash of panic crossed her eyes. "Oh no!"

"What's wrong?"

"Don't tell me Boruto and Himawari won't exist now?!" Hanabi asked in a panic. "You know, my sister has admired the Seventh Hokage ever since the very beginning."

She'd always quietly supported him, chasing after his back!

"Relax! Maybe they'll still build a relationship in the academy?" Yuto rolled his eyes.

What's the big deal~

Didn't you notice... even Yamato, who was supposed to show up, hasn't?

And even if there's no Boruto, there'll be someone else. This isn't the original world, after all.

Hearing that—

Hanabi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She raised a small fist and mumbled to herself, "You're right! The future hasn't happened yet!"

Her cowardly sister confessed much later anyway!

She has to hang in there!

Then she looked up again, continuing to scout for her next target. "What a shame! The Fifth Kazekage isn't in Konoha. Otherwise, I wanted to ask him about his dream too!"

In this era—

Due to the loss in the Third Ninja World War, the Fourth Kazekage sought to increase the village's power, making Gaara the Jinchuriki. His life had been tough, and only after online exposure did it gradually improve. She wondered what his dream might be.

But soon enough—

She found another target.

The future strongest female ninja—Sakura-senpai!

She grinned and walked right up.

Before long—

After interviewing all her targets, Hanabi even joined the Konoha Ninja Academy's registration ceremony, something she could never have experienced in her original world. She listened to a speech by the Fourth Hokage, feeling deeply moved once again.

This Ninja World—

It was indeed... different.

In the end, when the speech concluded and the new generation of students prepared to begin academy—

Konoha Academy—

It was about to welcome its golden generation.

Of course, what the future held, no one could say.

When Suzune called out to him, Yuto also took his whole family home.

Today—

He had only come to drop off an entrance gift for his second nephew, and take a look at the incoming golden generation of Konoha.

However—

While listening to the speech earlier—

He distinctly felt the Hyuga Clan Leader's unfriendly gaze. It was like...

If the Fourth Hokage weren't giving the speech, the guy would've hit him with an Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms—maybe even thrown in a Revolving Heaven for good measure!

What the heck was that all about!

...

At the same time—

Elsewhere—

Jiraiya, who had specially applied some hair gel, sprayed on cologne, and changed into new clothes, was grinning as he looked at Tsunade, who had personally come to invite him out.

That brat Yuto was right!

As expected—

The charm of this Sage is just too much!

Tsunade actually came in person to invite him?!

This was simply unbelievable!

A pervy grin crept across his face. "Hehehe~"

"If you keep letting your eyes wander, believe it or not, I'll gouge them out." Tsunade gave him a glare, as annoyed as ever by the unchanging Jiraiya. "Behave yourself!"

"Alright then!" Jiraiya flipped his hair, thinking he was all suave, the corners of his lips curling up. His sparkling white teeth gleamed. "I've already booked a candlelight dinner at Yuto Restaurant. So, what did you need from me? How about... we talk it over during dinner?"

Tsunade glanced up at the blazing sun and rolled her eyes again.

This guy...

From childhood till now—

He is still so oblivious to the situation!

"Forget it!" Waving her hand, Tsunade said, "Let's just talk here!"

"???"

Jiraiya froze, looking at the bustling street and all the pedestrians around.

Especially since today was the registration day at the ninja academy—the place was packed!

"Hehe! Tsunade, you're really bold!"

Boom! Tsunade, fist still smoking, looked at Jiraiya and said impatiently, "You awake now?"

"Aw-aw-awake now!" Jiraiya, stars spinning in his eyes, stared at Tsunade. "Alright, what do you want to talk about?"

As expected—

Tsunade was still Tsunade.

Then, Tsunade pulled out a sheet of paper from her clothes and said seriously, "I'm planning to join this! I heard you..." She paused. "...dance pretty well. I want to invite you to join!"

"The Revival of Spring?" Jiraiya was quite familiar with this. After all, he'd helped organize it. He raised a brow. "You're planning to join this thing?"

"So what if I am? Back in the day, didn't I also dream of being a dancer? You got a problem with that?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"...No."

Like hell I believe that!

Jiraiya rubbed his chin, frowning slightly. "I already have a team on the dance team." Seeing Tsunade frown, he quickly added, "Of course, I can quit if needed! But it's a team event. Each team needs at least three people!"

"I know!"

"So who's the third? Don't tell me it's that little girl Shizune? Hehe~"

Thud!

"Don't even think about it! Shizune said she'd rather die than join." Tsunade blew the smoke off her fist and looked at Jiraiya lying on the ground. "I already found someone else!"

"Who?"

"Orochimaru!"

"??? Orochimaru's back? Wait! Wasn't he wanted again after the last incident?"

"Yeah, exactly! So, you just make a shadow clone, dress it up like Orochimaru, and we'll be fine. As long as no one recognizes it, it's all good. We'll form the Three Princesses of Konoha Dance Team!"

"...I'm a guy!"

"Any problem?"

"..." Jiraiya wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked at Tsunade's smiling face. "Then... what about Orochimaru?"

"Any problem?"

"..."

No problem!

After all, I go by Jitsuko—never even heard of a guy named Jiraiya!
