Do You Know the Milk Tea Shop at the Village Entrance?

Fuyou sneezed and rubbed his nose, unaware that the Third Hokage and the higher-ups of Root were praising him.

He lowered his head and looked over this year's figures.

The milk tea shop's growth had reached its limit.

Especially since the war had grown more intense over the past few years. In another year or two, an all-out war would likely break out, and business would become even harder then.

Unless he opened his milk tea shops across the entire ninja world. However, that was impossible at this stage.

They were in the middle of a war. How could the various ninja villages allow someone named Uchiha to freely open shops in their villages and countries? What if he was a spy, or had some other agenda?

What?

You said he had already been expelled from the Uchiha Clan?

Who would believe that?

Never mind the fact that his eyes had not been taken. Even if they truly had been gouged out, no one would believe it.

So, carrying the Uchiha name made doing business in the Land of Fire much less troublesome at this stage. But if he went to other countries to do business... that would basically be nothing but trouble.

Uchiha Fuyou looked at the Richest Man Arrives interface. The next thing he could unlock was a barbecue restaurant. As long as he built one, the system's rules guaranteed that he would make money.

So the question was not whether to build it, but how to build it, and how to maximize the profits.

Land was not much of a problem. Even if he could not buy it, he could rent it. And as one of the two major clans that had founded Konoha, although the village did not think highly of the Uchiha Clan at present, the old landowners of the Uchiha still possessed plenty of land. As long as he asked, his poker-faced older brother would definitely give him some.

No big deal!

"Materials and workers are easy enough to find. Once it's mostly built, I can just have the system renovate it and incorporate it into the system."

It could be said...

He was destined to become the richest man.

He also needed to keep an eye on Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Obito.

That kind of personality that went to extremes at the slightest disagreement was unacceptable!

Uchiha Fuyou decided to corrupt their pure hearts with money and make them understand that the world still had plenty of temptations.

Being a wastrel was far better than becoming a terrorist.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the "First Draft of the Uchiha Clan Elderly Support Plan" in his hand. "This will do for now. If there's anything incomplete, I'll add to it later." Then he shouted, "Suzune!"

"Grandma! Tonight's dinner is so lavish!"

"Because Obito graduated!" An elderly woman sitting beside Obito smiled kindly. "We have to celebrate properly today. Celebrate Obito finally becoming an outstanding ninja!"

"That's right, Grandma! I'll definitely become an unbelievably powerful ninja." Seeing how happy his grandmother was for him, Obito put his hands on his hips and laughed like a child. "I'll make Kakashi furious when the time comes!"

Today, you ignored this genius Obito. Tomorrow, I'll be beyond your reach.

"Come on, come on! Obito must be hungry too, right?" Grandma nodded with a smile. "But remember, you still need to get along well with your teammates, Obito!"

"That bastard only knows how to make fun of me. Who's his teammate?" Obito angrily shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, then said with a grin, "Oh, right, Grandma. I met a strange guy today. He was actually planning to recruit a genius from the Uchiha Clan as his..."

Before he could finish—

Knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door.

Grandma and Obito both froze. They had no idea who would come by so late, and they exchanged looks.

"One of Obito's friends?"

"No! Could it be..." Obito's eyes immediately lit up. "Could Rin have come to see me? She came to see me this late? She must miss me!"

He hurried over to open the door.

A middle-aged man, dressed in clothing bearing the Uchiha Gunbai emblem.

Was something happening in the clan?

Obito froze, then grew disappointed. "What is it?"

"Is this Uchiha Obito's home?" The middle-aged man frowned and stared sternly at Uchiha Obito. "Is your grandmother home?"

"What do you want with my grandmother?" Obito frowned as well. For the clan to send someone to find his grandmother for no reason, no matter how he looked at it, seemed strange.

Just then—

"Are you looking for me?" Grandma had already walked over. Looking at the clan ninja at the door, she asked in confusion, "What does the ninja lord need from me?"

"Something good." After the middle-aged ninja glanced at Grandma and confirmed she was the person he was looking for, he took out a sack of rice, a bag of vegetables, and a piece of meat. "Take them! They're all yours!"

"???" Grandma and Obito were both dumbfounded as they looked at the rice, vegetables, and meat suddenly being handed over. "Ninja lord, you must have made a mistake! These aren't ours! We didn't buy them!"

"They are yours! This is the clan head's kindness, specially distributed to elderly people in the clan who live alone!" the ninja explained impatiently. "Also, get up at ten tomorrow morning and gather at the clan square. Someone will take you for a physical examination. In the afternoon, there'll be people specifically assigned to help you exercise. There's badminton, singing, and dancing. I don't know how it'll all be arranged, so don't ask me! Go ask the designated people tomorrow. That's it. Sign here!"

"???"

"Hurry up. I still have a lot of people to notify afterward. Seriously, the clan head actually made us do this in the middle of the night!"

At that shout, Grandma was so startled that she signed her name before she had even come back to her senses. The ninja then immediately left.

It was clear that he really was in a hurry.

"G-Grandma?" Obito blinked and looked at the rice and meat on the ground. "What's going on?"

"Grandma doesn't know either." Grandma came back to her senses and smiled helplessly. "I heard it was distributed to the elderly by the clan head."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Bring it all inside! Obito, remember this: we have always received care from others, so when someone needs help, Obito should help them properly too."

"Obito understands!"

The next day.

A huge group of elderly Uchiha, led by ninja, set out for their physical examinations. To ensure the examinations went smoothly, Uchiha Fuyou had Suzune specifically go to the Hokage Building and hire several Medical Ninja.

At first, the Hokage had refused. After all, Medical Ninja were in the shortest supply during wartime. But when he heard it would only take one day, and that there would be generous compensation... he specially assigned three ninja to them.

Of course.

The strongest Medical Ninja currently stationed behind the front lines—Tsunade—had not returned. Otherwise, he had planned to ask Tsunade to come as well!

And early that morning—

After seeing his grandmother off, Uchiha Obito looked at the large crowd of elderly Uchiha before him and finally relaxed.

It seemed the clan head truly had arranged this specifically to care for the elderly.

Sure enough.

Clan Head Fugaku really was a good person!

Being a member of the Uchiha Clan filled Uchiha Obito with deep pride once again. Even as he walked, it felt as if the wind was beneath his feet. He held his head high and chest out, proudly displaying the Uchiha Clan crest.

Until... he arrived at the team's meeting place!

"You look disgusting! And you're late again!"

An irritating voice immediately rang in his ear!

"None of your business!" Uchiha Obito glared at Kakashi. "You're the disgusting one!"

Then a soft voice came from beside him. "Did something good happen to Obito?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's something in the clan!" Obito's expression instantly changed, and he said with a silly grin, "I'll tell you later, Rin!"

As soon as he finished speaking—

"Alright, alright! You all passed my test yesterday." Teacher Minato suddenly appeared before them and smiled warmly. "Today, we'll begin carrying out missions!"

"Bring on whatever mission you've got! I'll definitely complete it perfectly!" Obito shouted. "Whether it's A-rank or S-rank!"

"Idiot!" Kakashi glanced at him, then looked at Teacher Minato. "It should be a D-rank mission now, right? Finding cats or cleaning up trash?"

"Damn it! Why is it a D-rank mission? How could that possibly suit me?"

Kakashi rolled his eyes at Obito expressionlessly.

He was the one who should feel sorry for himself.

He had clearly been active on the battlefield, yet after being sent back to rest, he still had to carry out boring D-rank missions with this idiot.

"Idiot!"

"Hey, hey! Kakashi! Who are you calling an idiot?"

"Alright, quiet down. Just as Kakashi said, it is indeed a D-rank mission." Minato laughed twice. "But don't worry, the reward is quite high!"

"Then, Teacher..." Rin looked at Minato curiously. "What mission is it?"

"You know that famous Fuyou milk tea shop at the village entrance, right?"
