The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

[V2] - Chapter 109. Operation Protect Mom

---

What the hell!

Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was sealed on the moon, actually showed up in the game—and was even taken down by a bunch of players!

Anyway, when Yuto saw that scene, he really had no words.

Yuto Group's New Year's boss?

No, no, no!

That thing is a real boss!

Of course, to avoid causing panic, Minato, still utterly confused and gulping nervously, suggested not revealing the truth for now and just treating her as the actual New Year event boss.

So, to turn her into a proper in-game boss, Yuto had to modify the backend after her "death" and add rewards for defeating the new boss.

As long as you kill the boss, based on your damage rating, you can exchange it for various gifts.

As for how she got in—

Yuto eventually had a rough guess.

The virtual device was originally designed by Orochimaru based on his cursed seal theory.

It temporarily shifts part of a ninja's soul, allowing everyone's soul to be in the same fabricated illusion.

Come to think of it…

Orochimaru's Cursed Seal of Heaven is a bit like the Kama seals of the Otsutsuki clan—it allows one to resurrect after death. Another Orochimaru from a different ninja world used the soul data stored in the seal to resurrect himself!

Except—

Otsutsuki would take over a vessel's body directly to revive, while Orochimaru needed enough chakra to re-emerge from the seal and then search for a new host body.

Therefore, to enhance the illusion's power and secure full research funding, Orochimaru went all-in on strengthening the signal sent out by the device. That signal was picked up by the helmets, allowing genjutsu to be cast on souls.

So, if someone had strong enough genjutsu, dōjutsu, or sensory powers, they might be able to detect the signal and directly break in!

It could be regarded as a bug.

Of course—

Orochimaru tried to patch the bug, like making sure that any player who entered through this backdoor had no visible name and could be killed by anyone.

Yuto guessed… maybe Kaguya had slipped in through a backdoor signal from the moon.

Luckily, nothing major happened, and Kaguya didn't have high privileges in the game.

Otherwise, if something like a virtual game accident occurred…

If a bunch of players got trapped in the game and had to defeat the boss to escape, then his just-launched virtual game would be ruined.

As expected—

You really have to be cautious with Orochimaru's inventions!

"So, it's probably fine, right?" Minato frowned, looking at Yuto, finally letting out a sigh of relief. "I almost thought the game would have to be shut down!"

If that really happened—

The God of the Ninja World and the Shura of the Ninja World wouldn't be able to play anymore, and he'd seriously have to consider early retirement!

"Kaguya would have to break the seal to escape. Otherwise… she'll just end up like Momoshiki and the others." Yuto smiled and nodded. "So as long as the Tailed Beasts don't get caught, we're fine."

In this situation—

How is Black Zetsu supposed to catch the Tailed Beasts?

If he dares show up, Madara would probably give him a Chibaku Tensei right off the bat, followed by a pounding—and another Chibaku Tensei.

"And even if she does get out—so what?"

"True! This isn't that other ninja world! Even the aliens are getting farmed by players in-game now!" Minato chuckled and nodded, then paused, "So what about Kaguya… Are you going to patch the loophole?"

And with that—

"Patch it? Why would I patch it?" Yuto narrowed his eyes slightly, lips curving into a grin. "You realize… this is a rare boss, right?"

...

"Despicable humans! Hamura and Hagoromo's descendants really are the same as them! How dare they humiliate Mom like this!"

At this moment—

Black Zetsu also got word that his mom had appeared in some game.

However—

Just as Yuto guessed, he thought it was merely a character in the game. After all, the Tailed Beasts hadn't even been collected—how could his mom have come back?

So seeing her be so weak and killed by mere humans—his rage was immeasurable.

"This is outrageous! Once Mom returns, I'll be sure to tell her and let her destroy this ninja world!"

At this moment, Black Zetsu—

He was just like a child desperately wanting his mom!

Of course—

Since he'd come across this incident, there's no way he could let it go. He had to get revenge on these vile humans and… the Yuto Group that humiliated his mother!

"Revenge! I must take revenge! For Mom!"

"Don't be rash!" White Zetsu's true body helplessly split off, watching Black Zetsu. "Maybe this is a trap set by the ninja world to lure us out?! So, for the sake of Kaguya-sama, you have to be careful now!"

However—

Black Zetsu, who had always prioritized hiding and surviving, was now extremely angry. "That's Mom's image! They're humiliating Mom! I want the ninja world to taste pain!"

"Alright, I admit this is indeed an infuriating matter! But what can you do right now?"

Just as White Zetsu's main body finished speaking helplessly—

"…"

Black Zetsu immediately fell silent, then furiously scratched his head and paced back and forth.

In the end, he lowered his head in frustration.

He really had no way to deal with it right now!

If only Uchiha Madara still didn't know anything—then he could continue to deceive him, guide him to launch a war, destroy everything, and avenge Mom!

Letting out a helpless sigh, just as he was about to shout, "I'll remember this! Next time I'll definitely tell Mom! Kill them all!"

Suddenly—

"Kaguya-sama has appeared again!" a certain White Zetsu shouted, "And now she's being surrounded by lots of people again!"

"Damn it! Damn it! This is too much!" Black Zetsu jumped up again in fury. "It's still not over? These damn humans are trying to kill Mom again!"

However—

That White Zetsu continued yelling, "Don't worry! Don't worry! There are already some White Zetsu who put on helmets to protect Kaguya-sama… Uh, sorry!"

Before the listening Black Zetsu could feel happy, that White Zetsu scratched his head again. "That guy died! Useless trash! He got killed instantly, without even saying a word!"

"…"

As expected, you really can't rely on these useless fools!

Black Zetsu looked speechlessly at the White Zetsu who had taken off his helmet.

However—

As he looked at that group of White Zetsu shouting "I'll go! I'll go!", he suddenly seemed to come up with an idea.

That's right!

They couldn't show themselves in person!

But—

They could protect Mom in the game!

Thinking of this, a chill ran down his spine. "That's it! That's it!" he said, and before the White Zetsu beside him could ask anything, he continued, "We'll go into the game too, to protect Mom!"

As soon as he finished—

All the White Zetsu froze, turned their heads, and stared at Black Zetsu in disbelief, blinking blankly.

What did this guy just say?

Let them play the game too?

So generous?

"That's right! All of you, get in there and protect Mom!" Black Zetsu nodded seriously, then gritted his teeth and said, "Kill those disrespectful guys! Destroy that game! Tell that 9527 guy to buy helmets for us! At least ten thousand! Get them all here quickly! I want them dead! Money…" a flash of madness appeared in his eyes, "I'll pay!"

"Wow wow wow! I finally get my own helmet too?"

"Awesome!"

"I knew it! Black Zetsu is not a good guy—he was secretly hoarding money all along!"

In an instant—

All the White Zetsu cheered with excitement.

However—

Not long after.

A certain White Zetsu raised his hand and looked at Black Zetsu in confusion, "What if even with all of us, we still fail?"

As soon as he said that—

"…"

All the little white guys looked at each other again, scratching their heads in frustration.

That guy had a point!

However—

"Ten thousand isn't enough! We'll get a hundred thousand! No matter what, I must protect Mom's honor! Mom is a god! How could she suffer such humiliation!" Black Zetsu snapped out of his daze, his face once again filled with madness. "If it really comes down to it… we'll personally kill that fake Mom!"

"?!"

Is this guy insane?

The little white guys looked at the crazed Black Zetsu, still processing what he'd just said.

Only to see—

Black Zetsu wave his hand fiercely, his face twisted as he shouted, "All White Zetsu, assemble!"

It's about time—

To let these humans know just how powerful they really are!
