Continuing to Make Sasuke Cry

Looking at Uchiha Yu's smile, for some reason, Sasuke always felt it was ill-intentioned.

What is he planning?

In the afternoon, Uchiha Yu brought Sasuke directly to a photo studio.

The middle-aged man at the studio was a bit surprised to see Uchiha Yu and Uchiha Sasuke.

Just by looking at them, he could tell they were members of the Uchiha clan!

A prestigious family indeed!

Uchiha Yu took out several outfits he had carefully selected and handed them to Sasuke.

These were the ninja clothes Uchiha Itachi had worn as a child; they fit Sasuke perfectly and made him look sharp and capable.

After all, Uchiha Yu couldn't bear the thought of buying new clothes.

"Put these on and take a few photos with me," Uchiha Yu said nonchalantly.

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned.

"Second Brother, why?"

"Big Brother Uchiha Itachi is always out on missions and rarely home these days. I'm keeping these photos as a keepsake so he can take a look whenever he misses you while on a mission."

Uchiha Yu lied without batting an eye.

In reality, ninjas almost never carry photos.

If they were lost during a mission, it could expose a ninja's identity or even the mission objectives, which was a major taboo for any shinobi.

Failing a mission was a minor issue; the real danger was losing one's life!

However, Uchiha Sasuke's mind hadn't quite caught up to that logic yet, and such topics were rarely covered in ninja theory classes.

"So that's why!" Uchiha Sasuke realized with a start.

He obediently stood in front of the camera.

"Do this pose... and this one... yes, that's it, now do this!" Uchiha Yu directed Sasuke, having him strike all sorts of poses, even some that were quite embarrassing.

Uchiha Sasuke started to feel that something was wrong. Who would want to look at photos of their younger brother in poses like these?

Is Second Brother trying to pull a fast one on me?

Surely not?

After a round of photos, Uchiha Yu couldn't stop grinning as he looked at the dozen or so prints in his hand.

The photos captured young Sasuke looking slender, handsome, and dashing.

Every pose showcased his essence to the fullest.

With these, wouldn't he instantly captivate a whole crowd of Sasuke's fangirls?

Uchiha Sasuke stood to the side with a gloomy expression, muttering, "Does Big Brother really like photos of me like this..."

"Mister! Put the photo fee on my tab! I'll pay you back in a couple of days! Don't worry, we're from the Uchiha clan; we won't go back on our word!"

Ignoring Sasuke, Uchiha Yu shouted to the man at the studio.

He didn't have a single cent in his pockets right now.

He only had 1 Pay-to-Win Point, and the problem was that Pay-to-Win Points couldn't be exchanged for money!

The man gave a simple, honest smile and said, "Of course! The Uchiha clan's Konoha Military Police Force has protected us for so many years; I trust you!"

The man clearly hadn't realized what kind of person Uchiha Yu really was.

Oh, Uchiha Yu wasn't a person; he was a dog.

The next morning, Uchiha Yu arrived at the Ninja Academy early, even before Uchiha Sasuke had shown up.

There were already quite a few students in the classroom.

Uchiha Yu slammed a stack of photos onto the desk.

"Auctioning high-quality photos of Uchiha Sasuke! Brothers and sisters, come take a look if you're interested!"

Brothers and sisters? The only ones interested in this were the sisters!

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they crowded around.

The male students didn't have much of a reaction, but the group of female students exploded.

Sasuke's fangirls shrieked immediately.

"Sasuke! It's photos of Sasuke!"

"Wow! Whose clothes are those? He looks so handsome in them!"

"Sasuke's poses are so charming! My heart is fluttering!"

"How much for one? I'll take them all!"

Sasuke's fangirls simply couldn't sit still.

Uchiha Yu's heart hammered against his ribs.

Holy crap, the market is actually huge!

"Starting bid is two hundred ryo per photo! Highest bidder takes it!" Uchiha Yu gritted his teeth and declared.

Most ninja academy students didn't have much pocket money; after all, families as wealthy as the Uchiha clan were few and far between.

As a result, the fangirls from the Yamanaka, Nara, and Sarutobi Hyuga families couldn't hold back any longer.

"I bid three hundred ryo!"

"Five hundred ryo!!!"

In just a few minutes, all dozen or so photos were snatched up.

Looking at the stack of bills in his hand, Uchiha Yu couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear!

Fifteen photos had sold for a total of six thousand ryo!

Good grief, wasn't this way better than swindling Sasuke out of his allowance?

Beaming, Uchiha Yu patted Uchiha Sasuke, who was standing right beside him.

Wait, Uchiha Sasuke?

Uchiha Yu's smile stiffened as he looked at Sasuke, who was a head shorter than him.

Sasuke's face was dark, looking as if he were ready to eat someone alive.

"Second Brother! Is this what you meant when you said Big Brother wanted my photo as a keepsake? Is this how you scam your own brother?"

"Third Brother, listen to your brother's sophistry... no, wait! Explanation! You have to realize that buying ninja tools and snacks for school is a significant expense. I won't touch a single cent of this money; I'm saving it for you to get a wife!"

"Why do you sound exactly like Big Brother? If that's the case, give me the money right now!"

"...Eighty-twenty split! You get two, I get eight."

"I'm your own brother! You need to pay more!"

"Seventy-thirty..."

"Deal!"

Uchiha Yu felt his heart ache as he handed over eighteen hundred ryo to Sasuke.

This wasn't just money; it was his lifeblood!

But fortunately, the remaining forty-two hundred ryo was enough for four draws, with two hundred left over.

"Exchange for four thousand ryo!"

Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully exchanging for Pay-to-Win Points! After deducting a 1 Pay-to-Win Point processing fee, your remaining balance is 3 Pay-to-Win Points!

"Three-draw pull!"

Uchiha Yu said cleanly and decisively.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Toad Wallet x1!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Ichiraku Ramen Free Voucher x1!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Shuriken Mastery!

Looking at the Toad Wallet and the Ichiraku Ramen voucher in his hand, Uchiha Yu wanted to cry but had no tears.

How was this lottery getting more and more rigged?

But fortunately, Shuriken Mastery was still somewhat useful.

After all, this was a ninja's fundamental skill, and mastering it could only be a benefit.

Even if he wasted three thousand ryo worth of shuriken practicing, he wouldn't necessarily achieve mastery.

"Naruto, come here!" Uchiha Yu called out to Naruto.

"Coming, Big Brother!" Uzumaki Naruto trotted over happily.

He had truly accepted Uchiha Yu as his big brother now, and he was completely convinced.

"I'll give you this wallet and the Ichiraku Ramen voucher! Consider it a welcome gift!" Uchiha Yu said, pretending to be generous.

"Wow! Thanks, Big Brother!"

Uzumaki Naruto's eyes lit up; everyone knew that Ichiraku Ramen was his favorite food.

It was just that the price was too high for Naruto, and he was lucky to eat there even once a month.

Naruto was now even more incredibly grateful to Uchiha Yu.

This was perhaps the first time in his life he had been treated to Ichiraku Ramen.

Uchiha Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Little brother, this is just trash that I don't even want.

Forget it; at least it had some value to Naruto.

At this moment, Iruka walked into the classroom.

Seeing how lively the classroom was, Iruka's face was full of smiles.

"It looks like everyone is in high spirits, so let's go practice shurikenjutsu this morning!"

"Hmph, shurikenjutsu is naturally the specialty of our Uchiha clan!" The pride of the Uchiha flowed through Sasuke's very bones.

The smile on Iruka's face had yet to fade.

"Furthermore, we will be training alongside the ninja students who are one year ahead of us!"

One year ahead?

Uchiha Yu had a bad feeling about this.

Damn it, it wouldn't be Tenten and Rock Lee and their lot, would it?

What if Sasuke gets traumatized from being beaten up?
