For a while now, Minato's team has been assigned a lot of D-rank missions. Of course, this won't last long. Obito has people watching him, so he can't be a delivery person in Konoha forever. Even though for the past few days... Rin has been a waitress and he's been a delivery man, it's felt like a happy couple running a milk tea shop. But once the time comes, he'll be out on more dangerous missions.

It's the early stages of the war, so the battlefield isn't too tense yet. We know this because Kakashi was temporarily called back. Therefore, after a while, they'll have to re-enter the fray.

Kakashi, being a genius, is also being watched by Konoha's higher-ups, especially the Third Hokage, who worries about the genius's inner darkness.

At this moment.

In the office.

After paying Uchiha Fuyou's salary to Konoha's celebrity, Might Duy, he smiled slightly, "How have things been, Senior Duy?"

"Thanks to your help, Mr. Fuyou, my son and I both have a stable income." That's just how the good-natured Might Duy is, always smiling at everyone. Despite possessing strange strength, he doesn't care about being ridiculed and remains full of sunshine.

He lowered his head to look at his envelope and was immediately shocked, "Mr. Fuyou! Did you make a mistake with this!" After saying that, he only took out a portion of it and, bending over, handed the excess back to Uchiha Fuyou, "Mr. Fuyou, please take it back!"

"No, keep it! This is your dividend for the quarter, and... congratulations on Might Guy's graduation." Uchiha Fuyou pushed the money back. "I'm sorry I haven't been able to celebrate with Might Guy."

"But this..." It's still too much!

"It's fine, take it! You did a great job delivering food this quarter, controlling the temperature, texture, and timing perfectly. You received five-star reviews from customers, so this is a little extra, it's what you deserve." Uchiha Fuyou shook his head, a faint smile on his face. "Also, I have another job that needs your help."

Might Duy, specializing in taijutsu, couldn't use ninjutsu, so his abilities weren't outstanding. For many years, his teammates either got promoted to Chunin or Jonin, or they were long gone. He was left alone and could only accept a few missions. Therefore, Might Duy had been working odd jobs while training. However, working odd jobs... ultimately didn't earn much money.

Thinking that he was a tough guy, and that being a delivery rider was perfect for him, he was recruited later. He was allowed to train while delivering food, secretly corrupting his mind with money, which is why he loves this job so much.

He heard that because of delivering food recently, he had already developed the ability to hang upside down while delivering milk tea without spilling or shaking it.

So, it's not wrong to say he's widely praised by customers.

Fuyou stroked his chin and said with a smile, "It's not a difficult task, just a bit troublesome!"

"Please tell me, Mr. Fuyou!" Might Duy straightened his chest and said seriously, "No matter what the job is, I, Duy, will complete it!"

"Recently, do you know about the Uchiha Clan's Senior Center activity team?" Uchiha Fuyou looked at the serious Might Duy, he really liked this aspect of him – a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. Therefore, as long as he assigned a job, Might Duy would complete it very seriously. "It's not a troublesome matter, it's just that there are too many elderly people, so there are more trivial matters. And we can't use ninjutsu to manage them, so we hope a taijutsu shinobi can help out. Someone patient, who can prevent them from wandering off, falling, or if they encounter problems, directly send them to the medical department."

"Is that so? Don't worry! Mr. Fuyou!" Might Duy shouted seriously, "I, Duy, will protect them well!"

"Thank you for your trouble. If possible, can you report today?"

"No problem!" As long as there were no important missions in the village, Might Duy prioritized this job, after all, he was a shinobi.

In fact, he was very grateful to Mr. Fuyou. At that time, the whole village was mocking them, father and son. Even missions prioritized those with teams. Only Mr. Fuyou extended a helping hand to them, giving them a job that paid well and allowed them to train.

"I'll go now!"

After saying that.

He immediately turned and rushed out like the wind.

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Duy." Uchiha Fuyou shook his head helplessly, heard the noisy sounds from outside in the office, and frowned slightly as he walked out. "Why is the shop owner throwing a tantrum in the shop!"

Because of the village's issues, the shop owner of the main branch didn't recruit members from the major clans, but ordinary people. He was just an ordinary uncle who retired from being a shinobi after injuring his leg.

Uchiha Fuyou walked out and saw the shop owner scolding a black-haired youth who was lowering his head, causing his mouth to twitch.

Uncle Sato, you dare to scold Obito? Aren't you afraid he'll wipe out your entire clan?

Looking at Uchiha Obito, who had a face full of grievance and was biting his lower lip helplessly, he sighed and patted Uncle Sato's shoulder, "Uncle Sato, what happened?" He glanced at Obito, who was still lowering his head. "Young people make mistakes when they first start working, it's okay. Just teach him well, and don't let it happen again."

"Boss Fuyou!" Uncle Sato said respectfully when he saw Uchiha Fuyou walk out, then looked at Uchiha Obito helplessly. "I've been teaching him these past few days, but this kid always forgets. He always rushes out for some competition, spilling several milk teas, and because he's too hasty, the milk tea gets cloudy, leading to customer complaints. This time, he was also late with the delivery because he helped an old lady cross the street, resulting in a customer complaint."

"..."

As expected of you, Raito!

Uchiha Fuyou's mouth twitched again. He walked up to Uchiha Obito and said with a smile, "Obito, lift your head!"

"???" Uchiha Obito heard another person's voice and had been curious all along, but because he had truly made a mistake this time, he was too embarrassed to lift his head.

When he looked up, he saw that familiar face and was slightly stunned, "It's you! You liar!"

"Obito!" Rin's anxious voice.

"Idiot!" Kakashi covered his head in exasperation.

"You brat, what are you saying? The boss is your employer now, and he's also the younger brother of the Uchiha Clan leader. You have to call him Lord Fuyou." Sato punched Obito on the head. "Don't they teach this in the Ninja Academy anymore?"

"It's fine! It's nothing!" Fuyou waved his hand and smiled at Obito. "Do you regret it? If you regret it, you can call me Dad now..."

Before he could finish, everyone nearby was stunned.

Obito's dad?

So young!

So rich!

Even Rin and Kakashi were stunned.

Aren't Obito's parents gone?

"Who wants to call you Dad! You despicable guy!" Obito yelled, "I'm going to become Hokage!"

"Don't worry, your father is waiting for you!" Fuyou said with a fatherly smile and patted his head, but as expected, Obito dodged it all, then said seriously, "Because of late or damaged deliveries, you received customer complaints. I will discuss this properly with Senior Minato. Raito... Obito, as a shinobi, you must be careful and cautious in every mission, no matter what it is. Don't be so careless and negligent. If this were a escort mission, and because of your competition, the employer got hurt, what would happen then?"

Seeing that Obito's spirit was crushed when Fuyou said he would tell their teacher, Obito deflated and lowered his head dejectedly, muttering, "I didn't do it on purpose."

It's just that there are always a few minor accidents.

However.

Fuyou hadn't finished speaking yet. He patted [Obito's] shoulder and said with a smile, "But there's a reason for this, it's to help others. So, to encourage this kind of behavior, we're awarding you a Good Deed certificate and a 30,000 ryo reward. Don't forget your original intentions, and you'll achieve your goals. Remember this helpful heart you have now, but don't be so naive during wartime!"

Speaking of which, he turned his head to look at Uncle Sato, "I'm going out for a bit. I'm leaving the store in your care."

After speaking.

Under the curious, excited, and confused gazes of everyone, he walked directly outside.

After a moment.

"Obito! Is that your dad?" Rin asked, her eyes blinking curiously as she watched his departing back, "He's really handsome and so young! He doesn't look much older than us."

"No way! He's just a psycho!" Obito retorted without hesitation, a hint of pride in his voice. "I don't know who he is, but he wants to take me as his son and have me inherit his fortune!"

As expected, he's just too outstanding.

After he spoke.

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

It was just a joke.

This idiot actually took it seriously?

"Uchiha Fuyou, the Uchiha clan leader's younger brother, and also a genius of the Uchiha clan. For some reason later on, he refused to become a shinobi and went into business instead." His confused gaze followed Fuyou's retreating figure. "It's truly fascinating!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Rin and Obito both looked at Kakashi in shock.

"Kakashi, you know him?" Rin's curiosity was piqued.

"Kakashi, you said he's a member of the Uchiha," Obito exclaimed in shock.

Instantly.

Kakashi rolled his eyes at Obito again.

Meanwhile, Rin looked at Obito with exasperation.

"Obito! Didn't shop owner Sato just say it?" Rin whispered, "Shinobi need to learn to gather useful information too, Obito!"
