The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World-Chapter 379 - 25. Poor Yumi-chan

[V2] - 25. Poor Yumi-chan

---

Today, Yumi-chan was very confused.

Because just as she was about to get into bed and sleep, a strange guy suddenly appeared by her bedside.

What was strange about him?

How to put it... he was completely white from head to toe, looking especially bizarre, and even called her "Yumi-sama."

Could it be... Dad or Mom sent him?

But regardless—

Soft and timid Yumi still felt quite scared, so she immediately pulled up the blanket, curled up underneath, leaving only her eyes visible as she peeked out at the strange figure in front of her, and said timidly, "Y-you... hello! Who are you?"

Inside, she was thinking: should I scream now so Dad or Mom comes in?

"I~" Hearing Uchiha Yumi asking about him, the little white man immediately struck a pose he thought was very cool. "I am the one summoned by destiny, the loyal servant who has come in response to Yumi-sama's call!"

Heh heh~ those idiots!

The one who will control the future is this very Yumi-sama in front of him. As long as he builds favor while she's still a child, then when she grows up and inherits the vast fortune of Yuto Group, he will rise to the top in one leap and become the top white among whites!

By then...

He could eat whatever he wants, drink milk tea by the truckload. The other White Zetsu would see him, the left and right hand of Yumi-sama! A minister of wealth! And they'd bow and scrape, calling him the White Zetsu-sama!

"Hahaha~"

The minister of wealth, White Zetsu, seemed to already be picturing that future scene—

When the time comes, he will lead Yumi-sama back to claim the position of the boss. With a grand wave of his hand... all those who secretly drank his milk tea before would kneel and beg for mercy, pleading for forgiveness!

With hands on his hips, his face revealed the classic petty-villain-makes-good expression: "Today you ignored me, mocked me, slandered me! Tomorrow you won't even be able to reach my level!"

This guy—

He still hadn't received spores from the other end of the tunnel, so he didn't know that the former boss, Uchiha Madara, had already been revived via Impure World Reincarnation.

Maybe they forgot, or the message just never came through.

But—

That extremely arrogant laugh did manage to scare the little l*li Yumi.

This strange guy...

He didn't seem like a good person!

She wanted to call for Dad, but if she shouted too loud now, would this bad man hit her?

It scared Yumi!

[Sister Asuka! Sister Asuka!]

If only I had just slept with Sister Asuka tonight...

She hesitated, then said in a small, scared voice: "Um... I don't know who you are!"

"You don't need to know me. You just need to know that I'm your most loyal servant." The White Zetsu smiled calmly and said, "I'll protect you as you grow, and help you become the strongest, wealthiest person there is!"

"I... I-I can say no, right? I have Dad and Mom to protect me."

"..."

Are the children of the Ninja World this hard to deceive nowadays?

You know, back in the day... they could fool anyone with ease, even Uchiha Madara back then was successfully fooled by them.

The White Zetsu froze slightly, then said seriously again: "You were born extraordinary, possessing the purest Hyuga bloodline and the powerful Uchiha bloodline. You are destined to be someone remarkable, and you need my assistance. Aren't you dissatisfied with the Ninja World today? Don't you feel angry at people now? Anything you're unhappy with—you have the power to change it all!"

"Hmm~, not really!"

"No! You do!"

"No!"

"Yes, you do!"

"..." Yumi-chan furrowed her cute little brows and looked at the guy who didn't seem to understand her, suddenly not knowing what to say.

But after thinking for a bit, she seemed to come up with something, then shrank her little head and said quietly: "Actually... I am a little unhappy~"

As soon as she finished speaking, the previously discouraged White Zetsu immediately perked up, energized. "Tell me, tell me! Believe me, I can help you!"

"Yesterday I told Dad I wanted a Nine-Tails plushie to sleep with, and asked him to go buy it with me."

"And then he refused to buy it for you?" Upon hearing Yumi's words, the White Zetsu immediately jumped to conclusions: "The richest man in the Ninja World is actually so stingy, he won't even buy his own daughter a plushie—that's just too—"

Before he could finish.

"I don't allow you to talk about my dad like that~" The previously shy Yumi suddenly stuck out her little head angrily and glared at the White Zetsu. "Otherwise, I'll hate you! And I haven't even finished talking yet!"

"Yumi-sama, please go on! I'm listening!"

"Actually... I just wanted Dad to go out and play with me, that's all. But in the end..."

Her little cheeks turned red with embarrassment. "Dad bought me nine really, really huge Tailed Beast plushies today. I really didn't want that many... I just wanted Dad and Mom to spend time with me. Now they don't even fit in my room."

As soon as she finished, the White Zetsu fell silent and turned his head...

Only now did he notice the nine gigantic, super cute Tailed Beast plushies stuffed in the room.

He knew what those were.

They were huge!

Even adults could lie down in them and sleep. They were extremely rare and high-end limited edition plush toys. Most people would think twice about even buying one—and yet... there were nine here.

Also—

What a huge room!

Everywhere he looked, it was filled with extremely valuable plushies and little toys.

This was...

This was the power of a rich woman?!

The White Zetsu trembled all over. [This boss... was definitely the right one to follow!]

But... this was something he really couldn't help with!

After all, that Uchiha Yuto wasn't someone to mess with.

However—

"Umm... can you go now?" Yumi shrank back again, revealing her watery big eyes, and softly said, "I want to go to sleep now~"

"You need me!"

"No, I don't~"

"You really need me!" The White Zetsu stubbornly stared at Yumi. "Really! I'm super useful!"

"But..." Yumi pouted, her little face showing a troubled expression. "I really don't need you~"

"You do!"

"No, I don't!"

"You do!"

"No, I don't!"

"You do!"

"I-I... I don't need you." As she said this, Yumi's eyes turned red, on the verge of crying. "I want my Dad, I want my Mom! Someone is bullying Yumi!"

"Stop!"

A sudden shout.

It frightened Yumi, who froze, dumbfounded as she looked at the White Zetsu who seemed to have turned serious.

Before her little brain could even process what was happening—

"Yumi-sama!" The White Zetsu suddenly burst into wails. "Actually! Actually! Actually, I'm just jobless and came here to find work! I have a useless, heartless big brother above me, and tens of thousands of starving little brothers below me to support! My family lives in a cave! We can't even get enough to eat! We don't even have a bathroom! I... I've had it so hard! Life is tough!"

"?!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Upon hearing the White Zetsu's words, Yumi's little mouth formed an [O] shape, her big watery eyes went wide in disbelief as she looked at him. "Then you... you're so pitiful!"

"Yes! So, Yumi-sama, could you please take me in? I just want to find a job! Don't worry, I can do anything, I'm amazing! All I need is a cup of milk tea as payment!"

"Hmm..."

"I'm so pitiful! If I can't find a job, my little brothers will starve to death—tens of thousands of them!"

"...Okay then!" Yumi nodded in distress. "But I don't have much money either, I don't know if it's enough!"

She didn't even know how much a cup of milk tea cost.

As she spoke, she grabbed her little wallet from the table nearby. After thinking about it, she pulled out several large 10,000 ryo bills. She hesitated, then said: "Is this enough? Mom always said, we must never go hungry~"

And then—

"..."

The White Zetsu went silent.

How long had it been since he saw bills this large?

Probably since he came back from the Land of Earth?

Looks like...

He wouldn't even need to wait for Uchiha Yuto to die, he could already drink milk tea by the truckload now!

This is what a rich and generous boss looks like?

He trembled all over. "Boss! I will be absolutely loyal to you!"

He realized, a good life might just be starting.

When the time came, all the other White Zetsu would be kneeling in front of him, shouting: "Please! Let us drink milk tea too!"

Hahaha!
