Root shinobi?

Is Danzo going to borrow money?!

Uchiha Fuyou could only think of that. Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why the Root shinobi were staring at him, an ordinary rich man.

It couldn't be because he was too close to Root's ace spy!

Of course, he didn't take it to heart. If he hadn't made any mistakes at this time, Danzo wouldn't attack him. As for fabricating rumors like Sakumo... Sorry, he was just an ordinary boss who owned a few milk tea shops.

The next day.

Morning.

Uchiha Fuyou, who returned to the milk tea shop again, looked at the noisy guys inside and was a little surprised.

Why were there so many people today?

He didn't remember commissioning so many people to do a mission together!

And...

Minato didn't seem to be leading a team today.

Too tired last night?

Couldn't get up!

Looking at Obito, who was still energetic, had declared war on Kakashi again, and was extremely arrogant in front of his friends.

Uchiha Fuyou smiled like a doting father, patted Obito's head, "Tuo'er, are so many friends coming to play today? Come, come! Uncle Sato, get some snacks and treats for everyone." Under Obito's stunned and angry gaze, he kindly patted his head again, "You're off today. I'll tell your team leader later. Remember to have fun."

Then.

He entered the office without paying attention to the wide-eyed kids.

Give Obito fatherly love, let him enjoy a luxurious second-generation life, corrupt his pure little boy's heart with money, and see if he would still be sad when his girlfriend was gone.

As long as there was money... a certain toad would introduce him to more girlfriends, letting him understand that his first love should be kept in his heart. He could be angry when he should be angry, sad when he should be sad, but there was no need to destroy the world, kill his father and mother, and even kill innocent people from his hometown.

I am your adoptive father!

As Fuyou entered, everyone except Kakashi and Rin, who already knew, was stunned.

"Tuo'er! Your dad?" Asuma, who had a thick beard at such a young age, put his arm around Obito's shoulder and said with envy and jealousy, "No wonder we were cleaning the sewers while you were sitting here drinking milk tea. Is this fatherly love?" He sighed, "Why isn't the old man treating me so well? And why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known this was your shop, would I have had to queue for seven hours to buy milk tea for Kurenai last time?"

Just use the back door!

"No! And stop calling me Tuo'er!" Obito's mouth twitched.

So annoying!

Although that guy was rich, who was Uchiha Obito?

He was destined to become Hokage, so how could he casually call someone dad just because of a little money!

"No? I'm very familiar with that look." Asuma frowned slightly.

The old man would also show that look, but it was always to beat him.

"And if not, why is he so good to you?"

"He's just a lunatic," Obito said proudly, lifting his head. "He took a liking to my talent and wanted to take me as his son, letting me inherit his fortune."

"Heh heh." Asuma looked at Obito askance, clearly not believing him.

Why didn't they believe him?

Could this guy have talent?

Fire Style jutsu stuck in his throat? Kunai stuck in his own finger? Or tripping himself with taijutsu?

"He's indeed not Obito's father," Rin, who was gentle, seemed to see Obito's confusion and explained softly, "He's an Uchiha clansman, but for some reason..." She glanced at Obito, "Maybe he's just joking."

As soon as she finished speaking.

"Alright! Kids!" Sato had already brought out the food and said cheerfully, "Everyone eat!" After speaking, he even looked at Obito curiously, "Tsk tsk tsk~"

Shaking his head, he went back into the kitchen.

"Today, I'll let you rest well. I don't know why Boss Fuyou took a liking to you, kid!"

After he finished speaking.

Everyone looked at Obito in silence again.

After a while.

"Obito, why don't you just acknowledge him?" Asuma touched his chin and said seriously, "Then we can come and drink milk tea for free."

For some reason, every time he passed by here, if he had money in his pocket, he felt an urge to come in and buy a cup.

"Get lost!" Obito yelled, "Who wants to acknowledge him as dad?"

Are the sons of Hokage this shameless?

After a while of shouting under Kakashi's calm gaze, the group began to enjoy their milk tea.

"Mmm~, this is really good! There's also pudding and taro flavor! A cup like this costs as much as a bowl of deluxe chashu ramen." Shiranui Genma wiped his mouth, "He actually treated so many of us to milk tea and food, Obito, is he really not your dad?"

"I already told you it's not!" Obito shot back, then lazily slumped over the table. "Grandma's been going out really early and coming home late lately. I wonder what she's been up to?"

Even the elderly people crossing the street were fewer than usual.

"An elderly activity? I heard quite a few seniors went," Asuma nodded. "They were just singing and playing that ball with feathers in it. Looked pretty boring."

And there was something else he didn't say.

Seeing a group of elderly people wearing those clothes… honestly, he'd scrubbed his eyes for a long time that night.

He grumbled, "I don't know who came up with this kind of thing."

Shouldn't the elderly be sitting in their courtyards, basking in the sun, and leisurely enjoying afternoon tea?

"I think it's great, everyone was really happy," Rin said timidly, but no one paid her any attention.

Everyone just wanted to complain right now.

At that moment, Mizuki, the handsome young man beside them, spoke up, "I heard it was the Uchiha clan who came up with it."

Then.

Everyone turned to look at Obito in silence.

Obito also wore a blank expression, then nodded helplessly. "I asked. It really was him! Uchiha Fuyou! That guy organized it for the clan!"

It even made it so he couldn't eat dinner with his grandma anymore.

But his grandma seemed very happy every day.

He complained irritably again, "Seriously, I haven't eaten a hot, freshly cooked meal in days."

As he finished speaking.

He suddenly felt the surroundings go quiet. He tilted his head up in confusion, looking at the stunned group around him. "What's wrong?"

"What did you just call him?" Asuma raised an eyebrow, looking at Obito with disbelief.

"Uchiha Fuyou!" Obito pointed at the name on the sign naturally. "Fuyou! Isn't that what it says?"

"Uchiha Fuyou?!" His voice rose.

"Uchiha Fuyou!"

"Uchiha Fuyou??"

"Are you sick?" Obito rolled his eyes. "Didn't I just say it?"

"Don't you think that name sounds familiar?"

"???"

"Do you know who wrote 'Konoha Boys' Talk'?" Shiranui Genma said slowly while sipping his milk tea. "And have you heard of 'My Konoha, My Hokage'?"

"That sounds so familiar!" Obito said, stunned. "Where have I heard it before!"

"To read the full text, please answer the following questions. First, when was the Third Hokage's wife born? Second, what central theme did the entire article elaborate on!"

"Holy crap!" Obito was dumbfounded. He seemed to remember something and shivered uncontrollably.

"Asking him is useless!" Asuma picked his nose and said casually. "This guy never passed that class!"

"..." Shiranui Genma looked at Asuma in silence.

Do you have the right to say that?

"I got points?"

"Don't look at me like this, I actually got two points on that big question!"

"...You got the first question right?"

"Y-yes!"
