A Huge Loss

I am Uchiha Sekigen!

As the Great Elder of the Uchiha Clan, I have always watched the clan's development from behind the scenes. My current dream is to see the Uchiha Clan regain its former glory.

After a busy morning, Uchiha Sekigen, dragging his weary body, sat down on a nearby rock.

I'm old now, getting on in years.

Just a few twists and I'm already aching all over!

You have to understand, back in the day, our Uchiha Clan's taijutsu could go toe-to-toe with the Senju Clan for extended periods. And me… the fact that I managed to reach the position of Great Elder speaks to my strength.

What a pity.

Time is merciless!

With a sigh, he picked up the cup beside him, snorted, and drained it in one go.

He admitted he had misjudged Fuyou that day. There was a reason Fuyou hired a ninja specializing in taijutsu; otherwise, an ordinary person couldn't have carried so much water up here!

Of course.

A failure is a failure!

No matter what, it couldn't hide the fact that he was a useless shinobi who couldn't even take on a mission!

However.

Just as Uchiha Sekigen finished his disdainful thought, a dignified old woman with cloudy eyes walked up to him.

"It's good enough that someone poured water for you, and you're still looking disgusted," Hyuga Byakka said with a cold laugh. "Is this the quality of the Uchiha Clan?"

"Much better than your stubborn Hyuga Clan," Uchiha Sekigen retorted, not backing down. "Our Uchiha Clan doesn't have as much bullshit as the Hyuga Clan!"

"With your old arms and legs, why don't you just shake yourself to death?"

"Likewise! Hahaha!" Uchiha Sekigen burst into laughter. "Just a mere elderly dance. My eyes..." he pointed to his eyes, "I can learn it just by looking!"

Copying.

No one can compare to the Uchiha!

But Hyuga Byakka didn't show the anger he expected. Instead, she looked at him with those calm, cloudy eyes and said faintly, "You're still so childish at your age!"

That's right.

She is who she is.

She was the proud Byakka of the Hyuga Clan back then. Even though she was small and her face was covered in wrinkles, she was still that elegant orchid dressed in a white kimono.

What a pity.

But was he, Uchiha Sekigen, still the Uchiha Sekigen of the past?

Uchiha Sekigen disdainfully tapped the ground with his cane and snorted, "I don't believe it! Since you don't believe it..." He pulled out two [Fuyou Grill] dining vouchers from his pocket and said coldly, "Do you dare to go with me tomorrow? I'll show you the secret techniques of my Uchiha Clan!"

"Boring!" Hyuga Byakka looked at the barbecue restaurant vouchers in his hand speechlessly and sneered, "You want me to help that kid Uchiha Fuyou gain popularity?"

After all, she was also a prominent figure in the Hyuga Clan. If she appeared on the opening day of Uchiha Fuyou's restaurant, the implications would be significant!

She saw through his intentions at a glance!

After speaking, she looked at Uchiha Sekigen, "You old fellow, you've learned to be cunning!"

As she finished speaking.

"..." Uchiha Sekigen fell silent for a moment, then sighed with emotion, "As expected... you can't hide anything from me, Hyuga Byakka!"

That's right!

This is exactly what I was thinking!

"Do you dare to go or not?"

"Why would I not dare?"

"Grand Opening Sale! Grand Opening Sale!"

"Spend over three thousand ryo and get free beer, plus a complimentary snack to go with your drinks!"

"Recharge now, the first hundred customers who spend over ten thousand will receive five thousand, and those who spend over twenty thousand will receive ten thousand, with a free upgrade to Fuyou Dining VIP status. All consumption under Fuyou Dining will enjoy an 85% discount!"

"Get a hundred ryo discount coupon for every thousand spent! Only one coupon can be used per thousand spent! Come and get them!"

Fuyou Grill was opening tomorrow, and children holding promotional flyers were circulating through the streets and alleys.

These were children from an orphanage working part-time. To maintain the orphanage's operations, Uchiha Fuyou often provided assistance or work for them.

As the childish shouts echoed, many villagers stopped to watch. After all, they were aware of Fuyou Grill. A few days ago, for some unknown reason... they had a sudden urge to go in and dine when they passed by, but it wasn't open yet. They didn't expect it to open tomorrow, and the promotions were so generous?!

Truly worthy of Master Fuyou!

Master Fuyou was wealthy, generous, and kind-hearted. He never haggled when buying things, and he always bought in large quantities, making him a favorite customer for many shopkeepers.

Some say Fuyou came from the Uchiha Clan and was a genius shinobi who almost became a disciple of one of the Sannin – Lord Jiraiya.

That was simply ridiculous.

It's a lie!

Who wouldn't want to become a shinobi?

And the Uchiha... don't even joke about it. Those guys who always have a cold face, looking like everyone owes them millions of ryo, and are so stingy?

How could a generous rich man like Fuyou be from the Uchiha clan?

As for becoming a disciple of the Sannin?

Even though Jiraiya's strange kinks were discovered a few days ago, he's still a famous shinobi in the Ninja World. How could he possibly take a merchant as a disciple?

It's simply laughable.

This must be a rumor spread by other merchants to hurt Mr. Fuyou.

Just listen to it. It's better to hurry and line up tomorrow morning to see if you can get into the top one hundred and get a "top up 10,000, get 5,000 free!"

What a great deal!

Truly worthy of Mr. Fuyou!

Many people sighed in their hearts, thinking that Mr. Fuyou was definitely losing money to gain popularity this time!

But, you know.

It feels good to get a bargain.

Meanwhile.

"Fuyou, aren't you losing money with this?" Jiraiya also looked at the coupon in his hand. "Top up 1,000, get 100 free. Top up 3,000, and beer is free for unlimited consumption. If Tsunade finds out, she could drink you dry, you know?"

Tsunade's drinking etiquette might be just average compared to him, the toad sage, but her alcohol tolerance... ordinary people can't compare!

There's a rumor that she learned gambling and drinking at the age of six, influenced by the First Hokage, which is why she's so formidable!

Can't afford to offend! Can't afford to offend!

"I am losing money!" Uchiha Fuyou said with a sigh as he took a sip of tea. "Losing a lot! Losing everything! But for my family! Today, I'll pay out of my own pocket to thank my family for their continued support. Jiraiya-sensei, why don't you top up 100,000? That way, you'll have 150,000!"

Losing so much!

I'm losing so much that I can only afford to buy a Ferrari.

Oh, there are no Ferraris here!

He patted his chest generously and said boldly, "Consider it giving back to Konoha for raising me! Don't be polite with me! Top up as much as you want!"

"This isn't good!"

"Got money! Being willful! We're all family! Don't be shy!" Uchiha Fuyou said without hesitation. "Jiraiya-sensei, however much you want to top up, I'll get you a membership and let you cut the line!"

"How about a million to start?"

After speaking.

Uchiha Fuyou fell silent.

Jiraiya looked at him hesitantly. "Too much? How about 100,000 instead?"

"No, no! What's too much?" Uchiha Fuyou said generously. "It's all for you, Sensei. Just top up a million, don't be polite with me!"

Losing so much.

If this continues, I might be able to lose enough to buy a Rolls-Royce... Oh, there are no Rolls-Royces here either.

But.

Fuyou still said with emotion, "Teacher, remember to tell your other good friends, 'He who doesn't take advantage of a bargain is a son of a bitch!' It's all for the family!"

The heat is so low, and there are so few people. Monthly votes are practically nonexistent! Only a few recommendation votes! I feel so tired! Please give me some votes!
