Sasuke's Allowance Was Simply Too Generous

A week later, something strange happened in Konoha. The young Uchiha master, who had stayed hidden in the Uchiha Clan Compound for a long time, suddenly appeared in the marketplace and sold off a great many Uchiha belongings.

There were jewels, antiques, fine wooden furnishings, calligraphy and paintings, folding screens, and more.

Some malicious people even gloated, saying, "I never thought the Uchiha would decline so quickly. Their young master has already fallen to the point of selling off his ancestors' property."

Sasuke naturally knew nothing of those rumors. Even if he had, he would not have cared, because he needed money.

Inside the Hokage Building.

"Hokage-sama, Second Pillar has sold off more Uchiha family relics."

The Third Hokage took a drag from his pipe upon hearing the report. After a moment of silence, he said, "I understand. There is no need to report such matters in the future."

"Yes!"

Danzo's residence.

"After selling off his family property, Second Pillar deposited the funds in the bank as usual." (Note: There were banks in Naruto. Jiraiya once showed Naruto a bankbook.)

"Leave."

Danzo gave the order indifferently.

"Yes!"

I still took too little. Back then, all my attention was on the Sharingan and the money. Why hadn't I realized that so many things in the Uchiha Clan were valuable?

Danzo cursed inwardly, but he had no intention of seizing Sasuke's funds now.

First, the Third Hokage had already removed him from his position as an advisor. In name, he was merely an ordinary ninja now. Any further small moves would only draw the Third Hokage's suspicion.

Second, the Land of Fire's banks were led by the Land of Fire's daimyo, with investments from the major nobles and powerful factions, including Konoha. He liked causing trouble, but he could not just stir up trouble recklessly.

Early morning, Uchiha Clan Compound, training ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Heavy yet crisp blows echoed across the training ground. Sasuke stood before a wooden training post, throwing punch after punch into it with all his strength.

On the first day after returning to the Uchiha Clan Compound, Sasuke had already made a training plan for himself.

First came physical training every morning: running, frog jumps, jump rope, push-ups, striking the wooden post, and sit-ups. Sasuke had kept up those basic exercises for the past week, and hitting the wooden post was the final part of his morning workout.

Besides the morning physical training, he also kept up his shuriken and kunai throwing, ninjutsu practice at noon, and personal reviews, book study, and learning at night. As a result, Sasuke only slept around five hours a day now. He spent almost all his remaining time training.

Though it was exhausting, Sasuke did not find it dull. On the contrary, he enjoyed it.

"Young Master Sasuke!"

A middle-aged man of average build and ordinary appearance entered the training ground. His eyes lit up when he saw Sasuke, and he immediately called out warmly.

Behind him, a coachman drove a carriage pulled by five horses, while several burly men followed closely behind it.

The carriage was a freight wagon. On it lay a gigantic purple wagyu, nearly four meters at the shoulder and around six meters long. At a glance, it appeared to weigh close to three thousand kilograms.

The purple wagyu was enormous and powerfully built. Thick horns extended from its broad purple crest, spreading outward before curving upward like the moon or bolts of lightning. Its hide and purple fur faintly formed lightning-like patterns.

"Hah!"

Sasuke stopped at the greeting, letting out a long breath. After wiping away his sweat, he turned and asked, "It seems you got what I wanted. That was fast."

"Of course, Young Master Sasuke. I will certainly do everything in my power to handle whatever you ask of me."

The middle-aged man nodded, stepping forward with a flattering smile before pointing at the carriage.

"Young Master Sasuke, that is the Thunder Ox you requested. They say the barbarians of the Land of Lightning grow so tall and strong because of what they eat. This Thunder Ox is a treasure among treasures. Even when the Land of Lightning's daimyo holds a state banquet, Thunder Beef is an indispensable delicacy!"

The Thunder Ox was a specialty of the Land of Lightning. Its meat was delicious and highly nutritious. It could be called the most expensive beef in the world, something money alone could scarcely buy.

"Mm."

Sasuke nodded without saying much and stepped forward to inspect it.

The largest cattle in his previous life had been the gaur of India, yet this Thunder Ox before him was more than twice as large. As expected of a world with a supernatural power system.

Seeing that Sasuke seemed satisfied, the middle-aged man turned and called out. One of the burly men immediately lifted a transparent container filled with milk from the carriage.

"Young Master Sasuke, I also found the Kobe Camel Milk from the Land of Wind that you wanted. Please, have a look."

As the saying went, cow's milk was easy to obtain, while camel milk was hard to come by. Camel milk was often a premium product, and the milk of Kobe camels was the finest of the finest. Its value was no less than that of the Thunder Ox.

"Thanks for your trouble."

Sasuke glanced at it and replied casually.

Naturally, Sasuke had requested these things. In his previous life, he had been something of a fitness enthusiast and nutrition expert. He believed that only by eating well could one train well.

After the Uchiha massacre, most of the liquid assets and hard currency, such as gold and silver, had vanished, leaving only a small portion for him. The village had offered him no explanation for this.

Sasuke had no intention of asking. He knew those assets had nothing to do with him for the time being, though what remained was enough for him to feast every day until adulthood and still have plenty left over.

But it was not enough. Far from enough!

If he was going to eat, then he would eat the best food in this world. If he was going to drink, then he would drink the most expensive beverages in this world.

Although most of the Uchiha Clan's liquid assets and hard currency had disappeared, as one of the Shinobi World's oldest great clans, the Uchiha possessed countless valuable antiques, jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, high-end furniture, and folding screens.

A prodigal did not feel sorry for selling his father's fields!

After giving it some thought, Sasuke sold all of those things in exchange for a huge sum of money, instantly becoming the person in the village with the most liquid funds in hand.

After obtaining that money, Sasuke first bought a katana made entirely of Chakra Metal and a large amount of medicinal materials to assist with training. The rest was enough for him to eat Thunder Beef, drink Kobe Camel Milk, and consume all kinds of high-grade nutritional foods every day for more than twenty years.

Even Hyuga Hiashi would not dare spend money as freely as Sasuke did, since he still had to consider his clan's cash flow. Sasuke did not. The inheritance of an entire clan was supporting him alone.

Having money really let one do whatever one wanted!

"Then... Young Master Sasuke, would you like me to deliver these to your home?"

The middle-aged man bent at the waist slightly and spoke respectfully.

He was a merchant from Konoha. His abilities were neither great nor insignificant. He had neither the means nor the courage to deal in ninja tool smuggling or the sale of ninjutsu scrolls, but obtaining certain precious specialty goods was within his capabilities.

When Sasuke had approached him a few days ago, he had not wanted to take this business. He disliked the Uchiha Clan and had been extremely wary of this place where such a massacre had just occurred.

But... he had no choice...

Young Master Sasuke was simply paying too much.

"No need. Go back for now. I'll contact you again when I need something."

Sasuke replied indifferently.

"Yes! Then I shall take my leave first."
