Naruto: I no longer have the money to protect Konoha Chapter 014

Three minutes later—

Uchiha Sengetsu was silent.

This time, he was truly silent.

He couldn’t believe Yamanaka Inoichi, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, enjoyed reading such vulgar novels!

And this author was an old acquaintance too.

It wasn’t called “Icha Icha Paradise” yet; the book’s title was “My Female Neighbor’s Secret.”

If he remembered correctly, the oldest kid in their class was only six and a half years old!

“Ahem, Sengetsu, give it back quickly.”

Yamanaka Inoichi’s face flushed red with embarrassment.

“Tsk, what’s so interesting about this?”

Uchiha Sengetsu carelessly tossed Jiraiya’s ‘debut work’ back.

It was filled with vulgar plots, though the descriptions were quite detailed. It seemed the author had read a lot of similar material.

As for the rest…

Plot?

He didn’t find anything appealing; it could only fool these perverted novel enthusiasts.

“Inoichi, how much is this book?”

“Uh, three hundred ryo.” Yamanaka Inoichi covered the book, awkwardly saying,

“Sengetsu, do you like reading it too?”

“No, I don’t, thank you.”

Uchiha Sengetsu slapped his forehead, then turned around and didn’t look back.

A perverted novel, and you’re telling him it’s worth three hundred ryo?

No, it was time to make this boring cultural class productive.

Uchiha Sengetsu had discovered a new business opportunity.

If such a perverted novel could sell for three hundred ryo, what about a serialized one written by himself?

First, write a draft, then talk to a publisher?

Hmm!

No sooner said than done.

Uchiha Sengetsu immediately pulled out paper and a pen and wrote five large characters at the top—

“The Fallen Genius.”

Ninja Power, Three Stages!

“Sengetsu-kun, what are you doing?”

The blonde boy looked at the furiously writing Uchiha Sengetsu, suddenly愣ing.

Was this still the usual Sengetsu?

He was actually writing during cultural class.

“You’ll know in a bit.”

Uchiha Sengetsu grinned, still writing furiously.

At noon, it was still business as usual, purchasing with Namikaze Minato.

Uchiha Sengetsu spent the entire day writing.

However, writing by hand was still somewhat slow, even after simplifying the plot and only keeping the most crucial essence.

He had only just reached the point where the old man appeared.

But, the golden first three chapters were there!

Although writing wouldn’t show immediate profits.

From the blonde boy’s reaction, however…

“Sugoi!” Namikaze Minato’s face was excited:

“Sengetsu-kun, is En-kun about to rise?”

“Just keep reading.” Uchiha Sengetsu smiled:

“It will be written about later.”

“I really want to see what happens next,” Namikaze Minato’s eyes were full of ‘regret.’

Sengetsu-kun was truly amazing; he could even write such an excellent book.

The ninja academy’s day passed by like this.

Nearing dismissal, Uchiha Sengetsu, Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Mikoto walked out of the classroom.

At the school gate, they were stopped by two Byakugan.

“Uchiha Sengetsu, I challenge you.”

Hyuga Hiashi stood with his arms crossed, naturally pulling out a thousand ryo.

Hiss! A rich guy!

Uchiha Sengetsu remained unmoved at first, saying,

“Hiashi-niisan, isn’t this a bit too soon? Are you sure you don’t need more practice?”

“No need.” Hyuga Hiashi looked aloof, stuffing the thousand ryo into Uchiha Sengetsu’s hand.

“Then let’s begin.”

Uchiha Sengetsu shrugged, taking two steps back.

Hyuga Hiashi immediately assumed the Gentle Fist’s starting stance.

Ten seconds later—

“Sengetsu-otouto, you’re so amazing. Is this ninjutsu from your second uncle?”

“As expected of Sengetsu-kun!”

“It’s nothing special, really. It’s all thanks to my second uncle’s good teaching.”

“Damn it!”

Hyuga Hizashi clenched his fists, looking at Hyuga Hiashi lying on the ground more than ten meters away, wishing he could rush up and beat Uchiha Sengetsu.

But clearly, he seemed unable to do so.

“Brother!”

Hyuga Hizashi quickly ran over and helped Hyuga Hiashi up.

“Brother, I lost again.”

Hyuga Hiashi looked a bit dejected.

Twice in a row, he had fallen to this ninjutsu!

“Brother! It’s all that Uchiha Sengetsu’s fault; his ninjutsu is too cheap!”

“Hmm.” Hyuga Hiashi nodded, his brows slightly furrowed:

“Brother, I feel his ninjutsu is somewhat familiar, similar to Wind Release, but it’s also air pressure.

“Instead, it’s somewhat like… our family’s Eight Trigrams Empty Palm.”

“Brother, you’re right!”

“When I go back, I’m going to tell Father, I want to learn the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm too.”

“Huh? Brother, didn’t Father say we’re too young?”

“But Father mastered the Rotation when he was ten years old.”

“Next time! I must win against Uchiha Sengetsu!” Hyuga Hiashi’s eyes ignited with fire, looking at Uchiha Sengetsu’s retreating back, full of fighting spirit.

Hyuga Hizashi also clenched his fists:

“The glory of my Hyuga clan will never be defiled by the Uchiha!”

Uchiha Sengetsu and Namikaze Minato parted ways with Mikoto in front of the Uchiha compound.

Mikoto’s house was on a different path.

Uchiha Sengetsu and Namikaze Minato, on the other hand, went home.

Today, Uchiha Sengetsu was going to make a decision that went against his ancestors’ teachings!

In the backyard of the house, by the pond.

“Minato, tonight we’ll start our daily training.”

“Training?” Namikaze Minato scratched his head:

“Sengetsu-kun, don’t we need to prepare ingredients?”

“We still have to train!” Uchiha Sengetsu said earnestly:

“Perhaps one day we’ll have to go to the battlefield or something. What if we have to go to the battlefield right after graduating from the ninja academy?

“Although we can earn a little money, as a ninja, strength is the greatest asset!

“From now on, every afternoon we’ll train for four hours, then prepare the dough, cook the rice, and get ready for tomorrow’s work.”

“Okay!” Namikaze Minato nodded heavily.

Following Sengetsu-kun, he would definitely not make a mistake!

Time began to fly by at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed—

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing one duel in the arena, receiving rewards: Wind Release Fragment * 2]

Uchiha Sengetsu sat on the grass, next to Namikaze Minato, who had been defeated and was too exhausted to stand.

“Sengetsu-kun, you’re so amazing.”

Namikaze Minato gasped for air:

“Why do I feel like Sengetsu-kun is getting stronger every day?”

“Aren’t you?”

Uchiha Sengetsu smiled:

“A few days ago, you couldn’t react to my Vacuum Blade at all. Today, the Vacuum Blade just grazed past you.”

Minato seemed to have a unique talent for speed.

It was important to note that Namikaze Minato only knew one Clone Jutsu.

Body Flicker Technique?

It didn’t exist for him!

He only practiced the ninjutsu taught at the ninja academy.

As for his family’s secret ninjutsu? Sorry, his father was just an ordinary Chunin, and the only ninjutsu he left him was Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall.

As for Namikaze Minato…

One could only say he couldn’t use it yet.

‘It shouldn’t be difficult to get the Body Flicker Technique; I should ask my second uncle for one in a while.’

Uchiha Sengetsu fell into contemplation.

The most famous user of the Body Flicker Technique would be Uchiha Shisui in the future.

What if he tried to develop Uchiha Shisui’s Body Flicker Technique?

He just didn’t quite know the principle…
