The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World

[V2] - Chapter 128. Dream On!

---

At the same time.

On the other side.

Senju Tobirama, who had also returned, was standing with a speechless expression, staring at the so-called "new home."

He had originally thought there might still be an ancestral house left in the Senju Clan's land, but in the end… it was all gone.

Of course.

He only felt a little melancholic deep down—not truly heartbroken.

After all, he and his elder brother were people who had long since died. He merely wanted to leave behind a memento at first.

But since his brother had decided to sell it in the end, then so be it!

Wherever he and his brother were would be the Senju Clan's land!

Even trading the last house for some money wasn't such a bad idea.

At least—

During those six or so months, he hadn't heard this idiot of a brother come asking for living expenses, which gave him quite a bit of peace.

Especially now...

The debt was paid off, and he didn't have to worry about anything else anymore.

With that enormous burden gone, making money again with his skills wouldn't be difficult.

It's just—

Had this idiot of a brother been ordering takeout nonstop since he left?!

Tobirama looked at the pile of messy takeout boxes in the living room, lines of frustration darkening his face.

How long had it been since this place was cleaned? The moment he opened the door, he was hit with a wave of nauseating stench that almost made him puke!

"Splat!" With a stomp, he crushed a cockroach that had the nerve to crawl near his foot.

Then he rolled up his sleeves and roared loudly, "Idiot brother! You damn idiot, get out here right now!"

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds...

…

A full ten seconds passed, and his idiot brother still hadn't come out. Tobirama's face grew darker and darker. Without another word, he turned and headed toward the upstairs rooms.

As he opened the first door, he saw his idiot brother still lying in bed with a helmet on.

A surge of rage erupted in his chest. Without hesitation, he stormed over and grabbed Hashirama by the collar. "You—!"

Before he could finish—

He noticed his brother's face, covered in a scraggly beard that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages.

His eye twitched.

Could it be that since he left, this idiot had been stuck in the house eating takeout and playing games the entire time?

This guy…

Sure enough, the moment you stop watching him, trouble starts.

Without hesitation, Tobirama used the method he knew and immediately shut down the helmet.

Moments later—

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Hashirama let out a surprised noise, wriggling around. "Why is it black now? And… it feels like someone's grabbing me? I can't see anything! Don't tell me it broke!"

"I'm grabbing you!"

"Huh? Huh? Huh? I think I just heard Tobirama's voice?"

"That's right! It's me!"

As soon as he said that—

Hashirama felt a flash of light before his eyes, like someone had taken the gaming helmet off.

No!

It was taken off!

Looking at the smiling Tobirama standing in front of him, Hashirama froze. Then he blinked, his face full of disbelief.

"What's wrong? Not happy to see me back?" Tobirama was still smiling faintly. "It looks like you've been living it up while I was gone, brother!"

"No, no!" Hashirama couldn't help but shiver, smacking his lips and quickly said, "I'm just so happy to see you back! Really! I was just overwhelmed by joy and couldn't react!"

"Then tell me—what's going on with the living room?"

"I… was just about to clean it!"

"You idiot—don't tell me you've been ordering takeout this whole time since I left?!"

"N-No… sometimes I go out to eat too!" Hashirama gave an awkward laugh and cautiously said, "Tobirama, you're finally back! You must be hungry, right? How about we celebrate? Let me tell you~ there's a new place that's really tasty! I'll place the order for you now!"

"Get lost!" Tobirama roared at his grinning brother. "And to think I was worried about how you were doing! It turns out you've been just fine!"

"Well, hahaha~" Hashirama quickly laughed. "I am an adult now~"

"Adult? An adult who stays home all day ordering takeout and playing games? I think you've become a useless person!"

"I'm sorry! My bad!" Seeing that Tobirama was really angry this time, Hashirama immediately bowed his head in apology. "I'll clean everything up right away! Really." He raised a tiny fist in indignation. "If it weren't for Madara constantly—"

Before he could finish—

"Hahaha! Hashirama! I killed you!"

The door suddenly opened.

A wild, arrogant laugh rang out. "As expected… this time, I—"

Mid-sentence.

He finally noticed that something was off inside the room. He looked up, stunned at the figure standing there with a cold face, clutching Hashirama by the collar.

Senju Tobirama?!

He's back?!

Madara was momentarily stunned, then raised his eyebrows and paused in thought.

This situation...

It felt a little off.

Even though he was deeply annoyed by this schemer, something inside told him he shouldn't get involved right now. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Sorry for interrupting! I've got a night shift delivering expres—…"

However.

The sentence, too, was left unfinished.

"Stop right there!" Senju Tobirama turned his head with a dark expression and glared at Madara. "Stupid Uchiha Madara!"

"You bastard..." Madara frowned at the sudden confrontation and replied with equal displeasure, his voice low and dangerous. "Are you trying to make me want to kill you?"

"Madara! Tobirama was just—"

"Shut up!" ×2

"Heh? Kill me?" Tobirama sneered with disdain and stared at Madara. "Let me tell you... even if you kill me, no one is leaving today!"

"Ridiculous! If I want to leave, do you really think you can st—"

"I said it! No one is leaving today!" Tobirama directly cut him off, his face full of rage. "If you two idiots don't clean the house today, neither of you is allowed to leave!"

As soon as the words fell—

"???"

Madara's eyelid twitched. Then, stunned, he said, "That's... it?"

He thought this guy was planning to kill him!

But in the end—

That's it?!

Just that?

A mere Senju Tobirama wants to force him, Uchiha Madara, to clean the house?

Dream on!

With a mocking laugh, Madara raised his head high. The terrifying aura of the Shura of the Ninja World surged toward Tobirama. "Let me tell you! Even if I, Uchiha Madara, die—mmph mmph mmph~"

Before he could finish—

He was instantly smothered by Hashirama, who had jumped up and covered his mouth, smiling at Tobirama. "We'll clean! We'll clean!"

"Don't joke around, Hashirama! I, Uchiha Madara, will never—"

"Clean! We'll really clean! Don't listen to Madara! We'll clean for real! Right now!" Hashirama again covered Madara's mouth, then awkwardly smiled at Tobirama. "I'll talk to him for a second!" Then, dragging Madara outside, he lowered his voice and said softly, "I'm begging you, Madara! Just clean this one time! I'll top up 648 for you!"

"Ridiculous! I, Uchiha Madara, never spend money on games!"

"Then…" Hashirama gritted his teeth. "This time, I admit defeat!"

"Are you insulting me?" Madara glared coldly at Hashirama. "Senju Hashirama!"

"Then what will it take for you to agree? Please! I'm begging you this time! Tobirama's really mad. Let's just clean up a bit! It's our fault it got like this in the first place!"

"18888!"

"???"

"18888! If it's any less, I'm not cleaning!"

"Madara, you..." Hashirama froze, looking at Madara's serious face. He hesitated, then lowered his voice again. "Didn't you say you don't spend money?"

"I don't! But you're the one topping me up!"

"Fine… but… isn't that too much? It's just cleaning up a little..."

Before he could finish—

"Dream on!" Madara's eyes narrowed again as he stared at Tobirama. "Want me, Uchiha Madara, to clean? I'd rather die—mmph mmph mmph~"

"I agree!"

…

Time passed swiftly.

After the successful connection of the two ninja worlds, the two sides officially began communication.

At the same time, in order to open new markets, the business groups from each ninja village poured into the alternate ninja world, preparing to conquer its market.

Among them, especially the Root Group... struck first. While others were still preparing, the Root Group, led by its Boss—Shimura Danzo, was the first to charge into the alternate ninja world.

However, for some unknown reason...

Compared to their initial aggressive momentum—

Just a few days later, the Root Group began to withdraw and tighten their front, lacking the devouring force they had upon entering.

In contrast, the Yuto Group... the second to enter the alternate ninja world, used its immense capital to frantically seize market share, throwing money like it was nothing, making loss-leader deals nonstop, and quickly outpaced the previously dominant Root Group.

So.

What's going on here?

What exactly is the Root Group doing?

If they only came to sip the soup, why did they charge in so fiercely at the start?

It was as if they were determined to have an all-out war with the Yuto Group!

This really…

Left many business groups scratching their heads in confusion!
