Ninja Breaks the Heavens

After leaving home, Chentian immediately headed for the commercial district.

"Heh, this is the dango shop Future Uchiha Itachi often visits, right?" Chentian rubbed his chin and walked inside.

After picking through the selection, he left the shop with two skewers of three-colored dango in hand. After taking a bite, he muttered, "The taste is only so-so. There's nothing special about it."

He quickly finished both skewers before seriously looking around.

There were barbecue restaurants, clothing stores, even gambling houses.

"Although they have all of that, there's nothing like hot pot yet. And these clothing styles are way too low-class!"

But after feeling around in his pocket, Chentian discovered that his startup capital seemed to be only a mere hundred ryo.

Glancing at the price list hanging above Ichiraku Ramen, he saw that one bowl of ramen cost eighty ryo. Chentian's little face immediately fell.

With only a hundred ryo, what can I do besides eat one bowl of ramen?

Besides, the Ninja Academy starts in three days. I don't have that much time to do anything!

"Wah! What a cute little brother! Are you standing here because you're hungry? Big sis will treat you to ramen."

Suddenly, a little girl about Chentian's age came out of Ichiraku Ramen. Seeing Chentian's troubled expression, she cried out in surprise.

"I..."

Although he did not know this little girl, he could tell from the situation that she was Ayame.

But before he could explain, Ayame cut him off. "You don't need to be shy, little brother. Ichiraku Ramen belongs to my family, so I can treat you to ramen!"

"Father, let's treat this little brother to ramen!" Ayame pulled Chentian into the shop in a few steps and said to Ichiraku.

"Hahaha." The still-young Ichiraku laughed heartily and agreed. "No problem."

"I wasn't standing outside Ichiraku Ramen because I was hungry!"

Only then did Chentian finally get a chance to speak, but Ichiraku had already started cooking. There seemed to be no need to explain.

At worst, he could pay after he finished eating. Besides, he was a little hungry anyway.

So Chentian stopped dwelling on it and began thinking about how to make money.

Minato and Kushina had adopted him and cared for him meticulously. Chentian had no nerve to ask them for money.

After eating ramen, his pocket money would only leave him with twenty ryo, enough to buy small things like paper and pens.

"Hoo!" After taking a deep breath, Chentian made up his mind.

Just then, Ayame arrived carrying a bowl of noodles, snapping Chentian out of his thoughts.

"The ramen is here. Please enjoy."

After setting down the bowl, Ayame hid off to the side, though the corner of her eye remained fixed on Chentian's face.

This little brother is so cute. I really want to pinch his cheeks!

No, no, Ayame, how can you have such rude thoughts?

Shaking her little head fiercely, Ayame forcibly turned away and stopped looking at Chentian.

Naturally, Chentian had no idea what the little girl around his age was thinking. Wanting to get started on his career as soon as possible, he quickly finished the bowl of ramen.

"I'm full. Thank you for the meal!"

He placed eighty ryo on the table, politely thanked Ayame, and quickly left.

He still had things to do. Could a little girl possibly be more appealing than money?

He could talk about it after she grew into a big girl!

After leaving Ichiraku Ramen, Chentian pushed his physical abilities to the limit and bought a pen and a notebook, using up the remaining twenty ryo exactly.

"Sigh! Did I hand over that money too early? Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a difficult position."

Touching his empty pocket, Chentian could not help sighing.

Actually, he still had some money—not much, but around four or five hundred thousand ryo. He had simply handed it all to Kushina earlier.

Kushina had not wanted it, but under his insistence, she accepted the money to save up for his future wife.

That was what had led to Chentian's current predicament.

"But it doesn't matter. I don't have time to do those things anyway, and I don't have anyone trustworthy to help me."

Shaking his head and throwing those thoughts out of his mind, Chentian solemnly picked up his pen.

This was the foundation of whether he could make a fortune or not. He could not afford to be careless.

The four words "Ninja Breaks the Heavens" appeared in Chentian's notebook.

That was right. Chentian planned to become a literary plagiarist and spread the bestselling books from his previous life throughout this world.

He had read Jiraiya's The Tale of the Gutsy Ninja at Minato's place. To be honest, it really was not very good.

If even something like that could sell so well, Chentian refused to believe that the wildly popular books from his previous life would fail!

Swish! Swish! Swish...!

Relying on his memories and some adaptation, Chentian's hand never stopped. The little boy lay there, writing furiously.

Even when Minato returned home that afternoon, Chentian was still completely absorbed in writing.

In the living room, Minato and Kushina discussed matters.

"I've already handled Chentian's enrollment certificate. When the Ninja Academy starts, we'll send him to school!"

Minato proudly waved the paper certificate in his hand.

"But... Chentian's chakra is very powerful. Isn't sending him to school a little..."

Though he did not say it outright, Kushina completely understood what Minato meant.

Kushina smiled gently. "It's fine. Chentian said before that he wanted to attend the Ninja Academy."

With just a few words, the two of them decided Chentian's fate for the next six years.

Who knew whether Chentian would smash his head into tofu in grief and rage if he learned that he had missed an opportunity to change his fate?

He really had said that he wanted to attend the Ninja Academy, but that had been before he obtained the Nine-Tails' purple card, not now!

But even if he knew, Chentian would only be even more grateful to Minato and Kushina.

Did they really think the Ninja Academy was so easy to enter? The enrollment certificate in Minato's hand was extremely difficult to obtain.

Otherwise, the Ninja Academy would have long since been overcrowded. How could there possibly be only so few students?

While they were discussing Chentian's affairs, rumors gradually began spreading throughout Konoha.

With the support of those with ulterior motives, Orochimaru's reputation grew worse and worse, while Minato's became better and better.

The previously one-sided situation no longer existed. Minato had caught up from behind and even faintly suppressed Orochimaru.

Ordinary people did not know what was happening, but some clever people understood very well how similar this was to when Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, had died!

In addition, the wife of Hyuga Hizashi from the Hyuga branch family, the mistress of Konoha's largest weapon shop, and a civilian woman had all become pregnant.

Three of Konoha's future Twelve Young Powerhouses had begun their journey into the world.

Of course, there were still about ten months until they were born.

Chentian knew nothing about these matters and did not care about them either. After an afternoon of hard work, his notebook had accumulated more than twenty thousand words. It was truly cause for celebration!
