The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World-Chapter 385 - 31. The Sea of Stars!

[V2] - 31. The Sea of Stars!

"That kid is still playing games?"

"Hmm!" Hearing Yuto's words, Hanabi nodded helplessly. "Apparently, some netizens from the moon joined today, and the teammates he got matched with are super bad. Boruto kept yelling at them, saying they're like blind people—asking if they don't have eyes. He's been losing all day and is about to rage!"

"Being addicted to games isn't good!" Yuto sighed emotionally. "As his aunt, you should discipline your nephew a bit!"

"Forget it! Anyway, he's going to leave soon—we don't know when exactly. Just let him play a little longer~" Hanabi sighed, looking worried. "It's been so long, and they still haven't found that Otsutsuki Urashiki. Who knows what that guy is even planning?!"

If there were even a bit of news, that'd be something—but during this time... there's been nothing at all. That's really concerning!

That guy had better not be secretly plotting something awful!

"Relax! The bounty has already risen to 5 billion!" Yuto waved his hand casually. "More and more people are targeting him now. I believe he'll definitely be found soon."

Just a mere Otsutsuki Urashiki.

Yuto believed that in this Ninja World, that guy wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.

Worst-case scenario... at most, just order some takeout.

No big deal!

Besides, wasn't he still here?

Not long ago, after clearing a new area on the moon, he leveled up again. His physical strength had improved once more. Now he definitely wouldn't suffer from back pain anymore, and even his eyes had become more powerful.

Even though it was still just three tomoe, he had a feeling—was there something deep inside?

Terrifying!

Is this Mangekyo's secret technique?

Could it be the "money power"?

Slapping faces with cash?!

"Oh, right." As if remembering something, he said, "Last time when I connected to the net, I saw Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon!"

As soon as he finished speaking—

Hanabi looked at Yuto in surprise. "Why are you talking about that guy?"

Even though Toneri later understood the true meaning left behind by Otsutsuki Hagoromo and began to protect the Ninja World, Hanabi still didn't have much goodwill toward someone who gouged out her eyes and forced her sister to marry him!

The fact that she hadn't gone to settle accounts with him was already being generous!

Besides, her sister here in the Ninja World was living quite well with her, and the Otsutsuki clan on the moon hadn't splintered either!

Why bother with him?

"Uh~ no, it's just—how do I say this?!" Yuto scratched his head. "He just gave me a weird vibe!"

"???"

What do you mean?

Could it be that even Toneri, who is just a kid, is planning something?

Before Hanabi could ask—

"By the way~"

Off to the side, Suzune, who was tidying up clothes, suddenly asked, "Is Yuto Group planning to make a new movie this year? I heard the Root Group has already started preparing a new movie!"

Although she rarely managed the Yuto Group after getting married, she still occasionally checked in on things!

After she finished speaking—

"Oh? The Root Group has started preparing a new movie?" Yuto looked at Suzune with curiosity. "Did you hear about the new movie?"

"Mm~" Suzune thought for a moment, then said, "It seems like they're riding the moon trend. What's it called again? Oh, right—My Love from the Moon!"

"..."

Yuto's expression instantly turned complicated.

As expected of the Root Group.

That title.

Just hearing it—yep, it's bound to be a blockbuster!

...

"That's right! This time's script is just like the previous End of the Ninja World!"

The famous screenwriter of the Ninja World, and also a former Konoha Advisor who was once involved in corruption—Mitokado Homura—pushed up his glasses and said seriously, "Recently, the news that there are humans surviving on the moon has made the entire Ninja World extremely curious. So, trust me... this is definitely a selling point!"

As he spoke, he directly pulled out his script and looked at his two best friends.

"This time, I wrote a story about how, one day, an immortal woman from the moon falls into the Ninja World. She possesses stunning beauty and terrifying powers. At that time, the Ninja World was still barren, but with her help, humanity in the Ninja World began to rise step by step. They admired this being from beyond the heavens, this immortal woman, and worshipped her as a god. However, as humans grew stronger, their reverence began to fade. Eventually, jealousy arose toward this immortal from the stars, leading to war. But they couldn't defeat her, so they had no choice but to seal her away. A thousand years later, an arrogant but reckless handsome young man accidentally breaks the seal... and the two of them fall in love!"

After he finished speaking—

"?!"

The two of them instantly looked shocked!

This story... sounds awfully familiar!

However, seeing their shocked expressions, Mitokado Homura was very pleased. He nodded proudly. "Well? Isn't this script great? Trust me, this will definitely be another bestseller!"

After all, he was the famous screenwriter of the Ninja World!

"Um... Homura." Sarutobi Hiruzen, however, didn't care about the script at this point. He shakily took out his pipe, took a deep puff, then looked at Homura. "Have you already found something out?"

Because the matter back then was extremely sensitive, only a few people who were closely tied to another Ninja World understood it. Homura wasn't one of them.

"Found out what?" Mitokado Homura looked at Hiruzen and Danzo with confusion. "This story of mine is just inspired by the recent moon trends, combined with my own imagination and adapted into a screenplay. You guys don't think I copied it, do you?!" Saying that, his eyes immediately widened. "What do you take me for?! I, Mitokado Homura, would never do such a cheap, disgraceful thing!"

After that, Danzo and Hiruzen exchanged a glance, then chuckled and waved it off. "Sorry, sorry! We were just talking about your new script. The story... it's amazing! Just shocked us, is all. It's bound to be a hit!"

"Of course! This is one of my most confident works!" Hearing the approval from his old friends, Mitokado Homura grinned happily. freēwēbnovel.com

But not long after, he seemed to realize something. His eyes widened again as he looked seriously at the two in front of him. "Wait a minute! Are you two hiding something from me?"

"Hahaha~ No way, no way!"

"We're old friends—how could we possibly hide anything from you?"

"It's because we've been old friends for so long that I know you two! Hmph!" Mitokado Homura ignored them, continuing to stare at them unhappily. "What exactly are you two hiding from me?"

But seeing them pretend to be clueless, he sighed. "You two... never mind! Seems like I'm just an outsider in the end. I'm the only one who doesn't know! Fine! I'm leaving! I'm leaving!"

He lowered his head in disappointment and was about to walk away—

"Wait a second!" Sarutobi Hiruzen called out to him helplessly, sighed, hesitated for a moment, but when he saw those disappointed eyes, he gave a bitter smile and said, "We didn't mean to keep it from you!"

He subtly nudged Danzo.

Your turn.

"That's right!" Danzo nodded, his face stern. "This matter is far too important. Sorry, but the situation is still unclear—we can't tell you yet! It really isn't intentional!"

"Oh~ I see!" Hearing what his two best friends said, Mitokado Homura wasn't angry anymore. As a ninja... he naturally understood that certain information couldn't be disclosed casually. But now his curiosity had only grown deeper. He paused for a moment, looked at Danzo. "Then... can you at least tell me how important it is?"

"Hehe! Well then... listen closely!" Danzo's lips curved slightly, letting out a light snort. He raised his head, eyes revealing a sense of authority, and spoke with confidence: "This is an opportunity that could change the Root Group's fate—It can allow the Root Group to surpass the Yuto Group!"

When he finished speaking—

"?!"

Mitokado Homura was stunned. His pupils widened instinctively. "Are you serious?!"

And off to the side, Sarutobi Hiruzen... the corner of his mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Danzo. [What the hell is this guy saying?!]

Is that really the reason?!

However—

"Of course!" Danzo remained serious as he nodded firmly, as if he wasn't making anything up. Leaning on his cane, gazing into the distance, his eyes seemed to be shining.

That was...

The sea of stars!

Instantly, the hearts of the two were shaken.

Danzo continued, "As long as... that experiment succeeds!"

Though even now, no one knew—

How far Orochimaru's research had progressed?!
