Naruto: This Uchiha is a businessman Chapter 017

“Thank you, Boss Lulin, I’ll go find Lin first then.”

Lulin shook his head as he watched Obito impatiently go to find Nohara Rin.

Some time ago, when Lulin was strolling around the clan, he accidentally saw this kid Obito training in the training ground. His hands itched, so he went up and sparred with him.

The result, of course, was very obvious: Obito was utterly defeated by Lulin with one hand.

If it were a normal Uchiha, after defeating Obito, he might not have felt so bad.

But Lulin, ever since graduating from the ninja academy, had been a merchant, always maintaining the rank of genin.

In Obito’s eyes, he was about to become a true ninja, and Lulin hadn’t been in combat since graduating, instead becoming a rather famous Uchiha clan member, a merchant tainted with a bunch of bad habits.

The fact that he was utterly defeated by Lulin with one hand naturally made him quite indignant.

Moreover, Lulin usually acted quite kindly, so Obito would naturally come to challenge Lulin whenever he had time.

Actually, Obito’s talent, if he never had any special encounters in his life, would at most reach the level of a mid-to-high jonin, barely even reaching elite jonin.

But who would have thought this kid was a love-struck fool, the kind who would directly awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan in anger after losing his loved one?

His strength could leap from a dead last genin to Kage level.

In the end, he could even reach Super Kage, Six Paths level.

One can only say that in this world, if you don’t play with eyes or bloodlines, you’re truly nothing.

So… Lulin looked at the “Three Tomoe Sharingan—Evolving” displayed in the system with some helplessness. He had been looking at those three words “Evolving” for two or three years, and there had been absolutely no change.

But besides waiting, he had no other options.

“Never mind.”

The Third Great Ninja War hadn’t started yet, and Konoha hadn’t completely declined. No rush.

The reason he wasn’t making any big moves now was fear of affecting certain plotlines, which would prevent him from reaping the benefits.

After all, his little broken system didn’t make him instantly invincible or give him a cheat that locked his health.

He did want to wander around, but in the current ninja world, even just Konoha alone, it wasn’t easy for him to break out alone.

These days, Kakashi’s reputation was growing, simply because of his powerful talent and strength, coupled with his father being the ANBU commander. It was hard not to be famous.

And Gai was one of only two children who frequently challenged Kakashi; the other was the love-struck Obito.

On his way to train with his father, he met Kakashi, who was walking towards them, coincidentally out shopping with his own father.

So, he immediately pestered him.

“Let’s have a man-to-man duel, Kakashi!”

Looking at Gai with his bowl cut, Kakashi felt a bit helpless. He had finally managed to go shopping with his father today, and he didn’t expect to run into Gai.

Might Guy naturally supported his son’s courage in challenging Konoha’s number one genius. In fact, he even set his sights on Sakumo Hatake, wanting to set a true example for his son. As his father, he too dared to challenge the strong!

“Mr. Sakumo, excuse me, please accept my challenge!”

Sakumo Hatake was a bit bewildered. For so many years, ever since he made a name for himself in the Second Great Ninja War, he had never encountered anyone who wanted to challenge him. Why did both father and son come across him today?

Kakashi wanted to refuse; he didn’t want to miss the chance to go shopping with his father.

But Sakumo Hatake didn’t give him a chance. He gently patted Kakashi’s head and nodded to Guy:

“No problem.”

Seeing his father agree, Kakashi also had no choice but to nod in assent.

He also wanted his father to see his strength.

Sakumo initially thought they were going to the training ground, but under Guy’s lead, the four arrived in a large forest behind the village.

The Might Guy father and son used to come here often to train, but after Guy became Lulin’s bodyguard, they hadn’t returned.

The first to fight were the two children. If there was any danger during their fight, Sakumo and the other father could intervene in time.

After Guy and Kakashi formed hand signs, Kakashi immediately disappeared from his spot.

Then a whip kick struck towards Guy.

Guy blocked it with his arm, then used Leaf Hurricane to force Kakashi back, before rushing forward again.

Don’t be fooled by the flashy, various elemental ninjutsu in the Naruto world; taijutsu is still one of the most important things.

A prime example is “Would you like to dance too, Madara?” He could overpower a multitude of ninjas with taijutsu alone.

And for Kakashi and Guy, who are currently genin, their chakra is even scarcer, making taijutsu even more crucial.

In the past, Kakashi could still overwhelm, or even toy with Guy, by relying on auxiliary ninjutsu like the Substitution Jutsu.

But ever since coming to Lulin’s house, with meals full of meat and fish, his nutrition caught up, and his training volume also increased, so his improvement was naturally immense.

At the very least, Guy wouldn’t lose his fighting ability after just a few hits from Kakashi.

And almost every one of Guy’s attacks, Kakashi dared not take head-on. He could sense that even though Guy’s attacks were simple, if he got hit once, he might get injured.

However, no matter how powerful an attack is, if it can’t hit anyone, it’s naturally useless.

After Kakashi dodged Guy’s powerful attack, he kicked him in the back, causing Guy to stumble.

Then, Kakashi quickly formed hand signs, Lightning Release: Raikiri!

A large amount of electricity gathered in his palm, emitting crackling sounds.

Guy immediately felt a numbness behind him. Unable to adjust his posture in time, he could only do a lazy roll, attempting to dodge the attack.

Unfortunately, the large amount of electricity still grazed Guy. For a moment, the paralyzing effect of the current made it difficult for Guy to move.

“Just give up.”

Kakashi said coldly:

“You’re not my match.”

“Give up?”

Guy endured the painful numbness in his body, struggled to stand up, casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Kakashi, his gaze becoming even more determined:

“How can a man give up so easily, Kakashi? I’ve specifically practiced a move to deal with you.”

He formed hand signs with both hands and shouted loudly:

“Eight Gates Released Formation, Gate of Opening, Open!”

A wave of air erupted from Guy’s body, spreading outwards from him.

And Guy’s hand signs weren’t finished yet; he continued to shout:

“Gate of Healing, Open! Gate of Life, Open!”

At this moment, Guy was as red as a boiling lobster, steam rising from his head, but his eyes were still as determined as before, staring intently at Kakashi.

Kakashi was somewhat horrified; he felt a beast-like aura from Guy.
