[V2] - Chapter 105. I'll Go Get it Myself!

"…"
Uchiha Madara stared at his phone, especially at the notification showing his account had been banned.
In that instant—
He was completely dumbfounded!
Someone actually dared to ban his account? The account of the Shura of the Ninja World?!
Ridiculous!
Did they think the Shura of the Ninja World was easy to mess with?
Clearly, his lightning-fast delivery speed must have scared those stupid fools. That's why they panicked and banned his account!
What a pity.
Other than Hashirama, no one could defeat him!
So, without any hesitation—
Uchiha Madara immediately dialed the number for the regional manager that little brat Sasuke had given him when teaching him how to apply to be a deliveryman.
In no time at all—
The call connected.
"Hello? Hi, how can I—"
Before the manager could even finish his sentence—
Madara coldly snorted and said calmly, "You've got one minute! Reactivate my account immediately!"
"And you are…?"
"Uchiha Win For Sure!"
[T/N: Uchiha Win For Sure is the pseudonym Madara used for registering as a deliveryman.]
"…"
That name… sounded familiar.
Wasn't that the account that just got banned?
The manager on the other end immediately realized who it was!
He quickly said helplessly, "Due to receiving over 90% negative reviews, the platform has banned your account. You'll have to wait three days before you can appeal for reinstatement!"
"Three days? Are you trying to delay me from making money? Do you know what could happen in three days?!"
"Sorry! That's the rule! You'll also need to write a letter of guarantee before we can proceed."
"Letter of guarantee?" Madara paused, frowned, and his expression darkened. "So much hassle? Forget it! I quit! I'm going to deliver couriers instead! Now hurry up and pay me for today!"
"Your pay? Sorry, due to your high rate of negative reviews and refund requests…"
"And?!"
"Your pay's been completely deducted!"
"?!"
Madara froze, standing there clutching his phone in a daze.
After a while—
His face turned grim, and his voice held suppressed fury. "I've been delivering since early morning, haven't stopped for five or six hours—and I earned nothing?! Kid! What's your relation to Orochimaru? Why are you as evil as that guy Orochimaru?!"
"Sorry! It's the rules!"
"Really not paying me?"
"Sorry! All deducted!"
"Ridiculous!" Madara snorted coldly. "In that case… I'll go get it myself!"
With that—
Before the other side could respond—
He hung up.
Then—
With a chilling look on his face, he turned his gaze toward the distance. A terrifying aura surged from his whole body—and then, in the next instant, he vanished from the spot.
…
That day, the weather had gotten even colder.
Yuto shivered uncontrollably, curling up, not wanting to move at all. He tilted his head, checking out the stats of the new virtual reality game just launched by Yuto Group.
It was doing great!
The numbers kept climbing steadily over the past few days without pause.
Maybe the cold weather made people prefer staying home gaming instead of going outside!
It made sense.
Even he didn't really feel like moving right now.
Yuto sighed emotionally, and just as he was about to set his phone down for a proper rest—
Suddenly—
His phone rang.
He blinked in surprise.
Who'd be calling on such a freezing day?
Still, he quickly picked up and answered listlessly, "Hello? Who? Ohhh, Yuto Delivery, Konoha Branch? What's going on? Oh~?!" His tone perked up, sounding curious. "Someone's here demanding their wages at a time like this? I didn't know the Konoha branch was this corrupt! Not even paying the delivery guys?! Pay up now! What, are we not letting people celebrate New Year anymore?! This is ruining the company image!"
However—
Not long after—
Yuto's face froze. "First day on the job? Got too many negative reviews and refund complaints, so all his earnings got deducted? And he still dared to come ask for his pay? Is he here to cause trouble? Doesn't he know whose company Yuto Group is?! Tell him to get lost! If he doesn't like it, let him talk to the Fourth Hokage."
Seriously.
First day on the job and you crash the boss's business—then still ask for a paycheck?
How can there be such a beautiful thing?!
What kind of people are we hiring these days?
Anyone causing that kind of trouble—just kick them out!
However—
Just as Yuto was about to hang up his phone—
A panicked voice came through the line: "Boss! You'd better come down here! We can't hold him off! He's blocking the entrance!"
"So arrogant?" Yuto blinked, puzzled. "There's so many of you and you still can't drive him off? How embarrassing!"
"We can't help it! He's using Susanoo to block the front entrance! Duy-san's afraid of causing a scene and won't act recklessly—we have no choice but to call you!"
And then—
"???"
Yuto fell silent, stared at his phone, then rubbed his ear.
Then—
He stared at the phone again. Rubbed his ear again. Repeated it a third time. Finally, with a look that screamed [Are you kidding with me?], he said: "Say that again? What did he activate?"
"Susanoo!"
"…"
"Boss? Boss? Are you there?"
"…Who's blocking the entrance?"
"The Shura of the Ninja World! The guy who joined the dance battle in the village a while back—Uchiha Madara! Boss, don't you know him?"
"…"
Yeah, I know him.
It's just…
It's a bit weird!
…
"After calculation! After deducting fines and refunds, plus the return of your delivery uniform, there's about 154 ryo left! This is your wage!"
"…"
Silence filled the surroundings, but seeing Madara calmly accept his wages, everyone inside breathed a sigh of relief. At least it seemed… the matter was settled.
Minato, who came personally to handle this, also relaxed inwardly, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Yuto really is something else! How can he give Madara-sama so little money~ You know, Madara-sama has made many contributions to the construction projects in Konoha. Maybe… the village can chip in some as well!"
After the words, Madara coldly turned his head, glanced at Minato, then lowered his head, pocketed his wages with an expressionless face, and said, "Are you insulting me?"
"No! Not at all!" Minato quickly shook his head and said seriously, "I'm just expressing gratitude for what Madara-sama has done for Konoha in the past!"
"I have nothing to do with Konoha!"
Madara snorted coldly and stood up immediately.
He wasn't unreasonable.
As a ninja, refunds for failed missions were normal, but just now… after a whole day of work, having his account banned and wages deducted, he immediately thought of that black-hearted Orochimaru, which made him angry!
Moreover—
He wasn't wrong.
Those black-hearted guys wouldn't even give him 154 ryo!
That was too dark!
Now, since he had gotten his wages, it was time to look for other work.
He—
Uchiha Madara—
Absolutely could not lose!
After taking a few steps, as if remembering something, he turned his head and looked at the Fourth Hokage behind him, "What's that idiot Hashirama doing now?"
"The First Hokage-sama?" Minato was a little surprised but thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Because Senju Park needs to be built, and the First Hokage-sama is skilled in Wood Release, the village hired him to help out and he's working on the Senju clan's land." Seeing Madara's furrowed brows and grim face as if he was thinking of something, Minato hurriedly added, "I remember Madara-sama is also skilled in Wood Release! The village's construction work is quite urgent now. I wonder if… of course, the village provides meals and pays wages. We're offering high pay and mean nothing else by it! If you don't want to, that's fine too!"
After he finished, Madara pondered for a moment, "Whose wage is higher, mine or Hashirama's?"
"They're… the same! We'll definitely offer satisfactory pay!"
"Alright!" Madara nodded with apparent satisfaction and said lightly, "I'll go take a look later!"
After saying that, he didn't pay any attention to whatever Minato wanted to say, turned around, and walked away.
Seeing this, Minato helplessly smiled bitterly. If it weren't for Yuto's call, he wouldn't have known the Shura of the Ninja World had started delivering takeout—and that… on his very first day of work, he got fired!
Fate is truly ironic!
He sighed, shook his head, and looked out the door, "Tell them to be more careful later. If they can yield a bit, they should. Don't let another accident happen."
The two Gods are over there—
They must be having a hard time~
This time, let's just raise their pay a bit!
Then, Minato smiled, nodded slightly to the branch manager behind him, and with a touch of melancholy, vanished from the spot.
