The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World-Chapter 336. Shopping Festival

Chapter 336. Shopping Festival

---

After a while.

At the Uchiha clan compound.

"From the Hyuga clan?" Mikoto walked out, watching the departing Hyuga ninja before turning to Fugaku with a curious look. "Is there something that requires you to leave now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku shook his head with a strange expression. "No need!"

"Then why...?"

"Sasuke will be back later. He..." Fugaku paused, frowning slightly before continuing, "needs to stay at the Hyuga clan to... do his homework!"

"???"

Mikoto stared at Fugaku in confusion.

Why would he need to do his homework at the Hyuga clan? Couldn't he just do it at home?

...

That evening.

Rumors spread that eerie wails had been heard from the Hyuga compound. A passerby, overcome with fear, hurriedly left the scene.

And that very night, two children stumbled out of the Hyuga clan compound, trembling, and silently swore to themselves... From now on, whoever dares to pass by this place again is a dog!

Alas.

They kept inexplicably running into the Hyuga Clan Leader, who would then drag them away for extra tutoring.

Not long after, the entire village marveled.

The Hyuga Clan Leader was truly righteous and magnanimous!

He was even willing to tutor children from other clans.

What a good man!

...

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere.

As the opening day of the amusement park drew closer, the Yuto Group had been extremely busy.

After all, the grand opening ceremony was crucial.

They needed to attract as many visitors as possible.

Of course... Since it was an industry born from the system, Yuto wasn't worried. No matter what, there was always a safety net.

He hadn't expected that after connecting the Land of Earth to the internet, the system would upgrade again. As a result, his physical abilities had strengthened further, and he no longer needed the thermos cup in his hand.

He.

Uchiha Yuto.

Had no need for such things!

His body was in peak condition!

He had never used such things in the first place!

At the same time, his pupil power had also increased significantly, though... it remained at the three-tomoe stage, still not evolving into the Mangekyou.

Every time he thought about it...

He would recall his only "big brother" with a sad face and then sigh~

There was a way to awaken the Mangekyou, but... it would cost his family members!

Just as Yuto was reviewing his abilities, Suzune, standing beside him, suddenly slammed her hands on the table and angrily shouted, "It's too abominable!"

Hearing this, Yuto snapped out of his thoughts and turned to her with a puzzled look. "What's wrong?"

"It's that [Rootzon]!" Suzune flipped through the documents in her hands, frustration in her voice. "Their sales and user data have been skyrocketing lately, while our [Yuto Mall] has lost a significant number of customers!"

"Is that all?" Yuto chuckled helplessly and shook his head. "Don't worry. Things will stabilize eventually. People will start choosing platforms based on the products they want to buy. So, it's only natural that [Rootzon] is booming right now—after all, they've spent a fortune on ads!"

Those ads were really...

How should he put it?

Too aggressive!

In the ad-starved world of the Ninja World, they were still quite attractive.

However, while [Yuto Mall]'s products were pricier, most were genuine. Meanwhile, [Rootzon]... who knew where they found their OEMs? Their goods were a mixed bag, and as sales surged, many customers began noticing discrepancies between their products and those sold at [Yuto Mall].

So, at this stage, according to Yuto's thoughts... the priority was to maintain quality and build the brand.

He wasn't afraid of knockoffs—what he feared was not even having knockoffs.

Though they might lose many customers now, they would earn them back in the future. After all, with the rapid commercial development over the past few years, the overall income of the entire Ninja World had risen significantly.

For example, back in the day, Konoha's billion...

During the Third Ninja World War, that was an enormous sum of money, enough to make many villages take great risks to snatch it.

But now? It was just the earnings from a few more movies—if luck was good, maybe even a single film could make that much.

These days, a mere billion probably wouldn't tempt major villages to take such risks anymore.

Times had changed~

Just like the recently incorporated Iwagakure... Now, they were leveraging the internet to showcase their village's strengths, not only selling the Land of Earth's specialties online but also gaining fame for their elite construction teams.

Not only were their prices affordable, but the houses they built were also incredibly sturdy and completed at remarkable speeds, earning them widespread admiration across the Ninja World.

Nowadays, many people would go online to hire Iwagakure's ninja construction teams for their building projects!

For instance, this time, to speed up the construction of [Yuto Amusement Park], they had specifically hired Iwagakure's team—which was why the project was completed so quickly!

Moreover...

In a way, thanks to Root Studio's aggressive advertising—with promotions like "10 Billion Subsidies" and "Flash Sales"—they had attracted a large number of people to online shopping. Strictly speaking, they were expanding the entire market!

"So, we don't need to worry about it. Let's go to the amusement park in a few days and relax properly."

"But, but..." Suzune, though no longer as naive as she was during her school days and now exuding a mature charm, wrinkled her nose unhappily. "I'm still really annoyed!"

After all, she would soon be Uchiha Suzune—how could she not be angry seeing someone stealing business from her family?

Beside her, Kana also nodded in agreement, speaking softly, "Yuto-sama, don't you have any other ideas?"

After all, she would soon be Uchiha Kana—she was also furious seeing someone snatch her family's profits!

"Oh?" Yuto frowned slightly, then smiled as he looked at Kana and Suzune, who were staring at him intently. "Well, it's not like there's no way~" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Now that he thought about it...

The Ninja World's commerce had developed rapidly, especially in the Land of Rain—home to factories producing salted fish, underwear, toys, and cars, which accounted for a significant portion of online sales. Every village... had some stake in the online industry now.

With [Rootzon]'s rise and the growing number of online shoppers, perhaps this was the perfect time to...

Yuto stroked his chin, narrowing his eyes. "Maybe we can launch a shopping festival now to stimulate online shopping!"

With that, he clapped his hands and grinned at the three women in front of him. "It's decided! We'll invite Root Studio to co-host a shopping festival! Let's offer some discounts too!"

...

"Shopping Festival?!"

When the news arrived from the Yuto Group...

Deep in a hidden underground base—

Root Studio's Headquarters.

Dressed in a sleek black suit, leaning on an expensive cane, his hair neatly slicked back, the distinguished major shareholder of Root Studio—Shimura Danzo—quickly skimmed the message in his hands. His lips curled into a meaningful smirk.

"Interesting."

Using events to stimulate consumer spending?

It seemed...

The Yuto Group was officially declaring war on [Rootzon]!

"In that case... Root Studio will not back down from this fight!" Muttering to himself, his sharp eyes gleamed as he turned to his subordinates. "Summon Hiruzen and Homura! We're holding a shareholders' meeting now!"

A terrifying battle...

Was about to begin!
