As an Uchiha I became the Jinchuriki of Senju Tobirama

Chapter 28: Choosing the Right Future



Kazuki let out a mocking laugh after hearing what Tobirama said, then gave him a contemptuous look. "I'm a Konoha ninja, have you heard of any Konoha ninja becoming the disciple of someone who got a zero in the Will of Fire? You think too much of yourself, Tobirama."

Tobirama's eyes flashed dangerously.

But Kazuki spread his hands indifferently, with an attitude of you can't do anything to me, he let out a laugh, turned around and left with a very carefree air.

"Kazuki, what should I do? I definitely can't become a ninja! If I can't become a ninja, how can I make money? If I can't make money, my dream will be shattered!" When Inada Kojiro saw the gentle Kazuki, he cried even louder. "My lifelong dream is to inherit the secret dango recipe left by my grandfather and save enough money to open a three-color dango shop..."

"Why... why did I have to hand in such a disastrous exam?"

Kazuki was a little surprised when he heard it.

"Is this your dream, Inada..." Kazuki silently looked at the test paper in his hand again. This child is probably not suitable to be a ninja.

"In that case, don't be a ninja."

Inada Kojiro cried even louder. Even Kazuki said so. He probably really has no hope.

"Go open a dango shop. The shop next to Ichiraku Ramen belongs to my family, go work there, Inada."

Kazuki patted his shoulder. "I won't charge rent until you come of age. We'll talk about profit sharing after you start the business. First, try to make the three-color dango more delicious."

Inada Kojiro stopped crying immediately, and his hands began to tremble. "Really, really... Kazuki-kun!"

At the back of the room, Asuma was rubbing his still sore butt as he looked at the scene with a complicated expression. His mind was in a mess.

Asuma couldn't figure out what the Will of Fire was...

In his opinion, if Kazuki followed the Will of Fire, he should cheer for Kojiro Inada and told him not to be discouraged and continue to work hard to become a Konoha ninja.

But Kazuki didn't do that, and directly funded Kojiro Inada to open a store.

Why? Why did Kazuki encourage someone like Guy to advance step by step, but not Inada?

But seeing Kojiro Inada's happy smile, Asuma fell into confusion.

Is it such a happy thing to not be a ninja?

But that smile from the heart can't be faked, which means that Kazuki did nothing wrong.

Asuma slowly crumpled the Will of Fire test paper in his hand into a ball, stared at Kazuki intently, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his eyes became firm.

He has decided to find a suitable time to ask Kazuki in person what the will of fire is.

Compared to the hypocritical and uncomfortable scenes he heard and witnessed at home, he believed more in Kazuki who made his friends and classmates smile.

"Kazuki kid, I asked you to help him, not to ask him not to be a ninja." Senju Tobirama frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied.

"What's the use? Be a ninja to die?"

Kazuki shook his head and said slowly: "A student with such limited talent that he can barely master the three basic techniques even if he gives 110% would be lucky to even make it to chunin in his lifetime. He would most likely end up being a genin forever."

"When the war comes in a few years, people like him will be cannon fodder, and even their bones will not be found on the battlefield."

"So tell me, does Konoha need more cannon fodder or a good shop owner who makes the best three-colored dango, Tobirama?"

Senju Tobirama was stunned, he didn't think about it from this aspect.

But after careful consideration, he felt that what Kazuki said was correct, but there seemed to be something strange...

Senju Tobirama was silent, and after a moment he slowly nodded. "Maybe, what you did is right."

"Learn from me, Tobirama." Kazuki shrugged. "Of course what I did is right, otherwise how could you, who got zero points, be right?"

"Evil Uchiha kid!"

...

"It's so delicious, Kazuki, your cooking skills are really good!"

At the dining table in Kazuki's house, Guy was devouring the meat with enthusiasm, launching youthful attacks with his chopsticks at the plates in front of him, enjoying every bite.

In a short while, he had eaten eight bowls of rice.

Although Kazuki's eating manners were gentler, his appetite was not inferior to Might Guy at all.

Might Duy watched with a mixture of sadness, gratitude and shyness as his son devoured his food. Although he always spoke of youth, Might Duy was an adult with a mature mind.

The food on the table, from red to white meat, from chicken, duck, fish to medicinal dishes, was meticulously prepared, as if it had been precisely calculated.

To be honest, not even the Hokage's house would have such an opulent meal.

Only then did Duy understand what Kazuki meant by 'I will provide you with food and lodging', and what kind of treatment he was receiving…

“Duy-san, pick up your chopsticks, why are you just watching?”

Just as Might Duy was watching silently, waiting for Kazuki and Shisui to eat first, Kazuki placed a large bowl of beef in front of him with a smile, and handed him a bowl of rice.

“If you don’t eat enough, you will get sick from overwork and training, and I will have to continue to help you recuperate. Do you trust me so much, Duy-san?”

"Don't be shy, eat well so you have energy to protect our home. This is all part of the deal we agreed on."

Duy stared blankly at Kazuki in front of him who seemed to be blaming him, and smelled the aroma of beef, and was a little dazed for a while.

Duy, who had been struggling in Konoha for decades and had never been valued by others, felt the respect and warmth from others for the first time.

But Kazuki is an Uchiha…

'So what if he's an Uchiha?' Duy thought as he took a deep breath and nodded determinedly at Kazuki. Without further ado, he grabbed a rib that Guy had his eye on and began to eat it with relish.

“Father!”

“Guy, eating is also a kind of practice. If you don’t treat Kazuki’s food with a youthful attitude, it would be a sin!” Might Duy laughed and gave Kazuki a thumbs up.

"Don't worry, Kazuki, I'll be a great guardian for your home." Duy emphasized the words 'your home' with determination.

“I always believe in you, Duy-san.” Kazuki smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Kazuki didn’t mind that Duy and Guy ate a lot. On the contrary, the more they eat, the better.

Duy and Guy, who had grown up with limited resources, were now regaining their health, eating well, and when the time came to unleash their youth, perhaps they would not only kick the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist to death, but they might even kick Uchiha Madara Uchiha to death…

Anyway, it is definitely impossible for Kazuki to be kicked.

It's just a few dozen tons of meat. Compared with the power of Night Guy, it is simply cheap. No one in Konoha is willing to do this round of angel investment, and Kazuki will certainly not let it go.

Shisui, who was watching this scene, snorted coldly. Although he felt that his family did not need a guard, as a qualified younger brother, he would not question his brother's decision.

But Shisui promised himself that he would eat more than everyone else.

Shisui ate with such fervor that his face turned red, as he looked determinedly at Guy, determined to surpass him.

"That's all, Guy!" After finishing eating, Duy jumped up, full of energy. "The current training consists of washing all the dishes in three minutes, then mopping the floor three times and finally leaving the patio spotless."

"Oh! I know, father!"

"By the way, Kazuki-kun, Kakashi told me today that if you want to spar with him, go to the No. 1 training ground in the village on the weekend, he will wait for you there."

Might Guy scratched his head embarrassedly. The meal was so delicious that he forgot what his friend had said.

With that, Guy hurried off to collect the dishes, following Duy, who was already washing the dishes.

"Hey, I used to wash the dishes at home!" Shisui slapped the table. "No, I want to wash the dishes too!"

Kazuki smiled and looked at the three people who were scrambling to wash the dishes, and his eyes narrowed.

Kakashi wanted to train with him, what did that mean? A challenge from genius to genius?

On the other hand, Tobirama watched the scene with a complex look. He wondered how the lonely Tsunade was doing right now…
