"Hu~"
"Thank goodness..."
Hearing the exclamations from downstairs, Takeko was very glad she decided to invite Shishou upstairs.
At the same time, she became increasingly respectful towards Shishou for his leniency.
"So, why did you invite me up here?"
"One hundred million ryo. If you don't have something of equivalent value, I won't be so easily dismissed."
Shishou took the main seat in the reception room without any sense of being a guest.
He came to Fire Source City to make money, and if possible, he didn't mind taking over all the casinos and underground banks in the city.
This way, he could secure a continuous source of income to support his future plans.
Hearing Shishou's words, Takeko's face stiffened. She then knelt respectfully beside Shishou with a flattering smile.
"How do you find me, young master?"
"Hmm?"
Looking at the beautiful boss flattering him, Shishou reached out and stroked her hair as if petting a pet.
And the female boss accepted his caress, staring at him intently.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, quite flirtatious.
Shishou stood up and kicked her away, walking to the glass window and speaking calmly,
"I want half of this casino's shares."
"What?"
Takeko, who was just getting up after being pushed down, looked at Shishou in disbelief.
He wants half of her shares; is he crazy?
Takeko glared at Shishou and clapped her hands, bringing in five figures from outside.
These were the five casino ninjas Shishou had seen earlier.
Although Shishou was powerful, Takeko wasn't to be underestimated.
"It seems you're unwilling?"
Shishou turned to look at the five casino guard ninjas who had just entered.
"How could I be willing? Attack!"
Takeko was furious. She had planned to use her charms, but he outright demanded half of her shares.
Half the shares!
Not only would she be unwilling, but those who leeched off her wouldn't agree either.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Shishou shook his head and approached the five attacking casino ninjas.
He sidestepped a kunai thrust from one and chopped his neck, knocking him out.
These casino ninjas were probably rogue ninja of genin level from some village.
Shishou didn't even use his Sharingan. In a few seconds, he knocked out all five with hand chops.
This scene left Takeko dumbfounded.
She didn't expect the ninjas who usually lorded their strength over her to be so helpless against this young man.
"I agree."
Takeko, seeing her five guards defeated in one move, knelt and raised her hands, agreeing to Shishou's demand.
"I agree to give up half the shares."
She didn't want her proud face to be bruised by Shishou.
She wouldn't be able to face anyone then.
"Tell me everything about this casino."
Shishou sat back in the main seat, gesturing for Takeko to come over.
Takeko immediately crawled to Shishou's side, massaging his legs while explaining the casino's situation.
After seeing Shishou's display of strength, she had no thoughts of defying him, fearing a beating if she displeased him.
After understanding the complex background of the Good Fortune Casino from Takeko, Shishou frowned.
He didn't expect Takeko had to hand over 80% of her profits to other casino forces every month.
"These people are really exploiting a weak woman."
And this woman is quite pitiful.
After her husband died, she was bullied like this.
Shishou thought as he continued to invade Takeko's personal space.
"..."
Takeko, blushing, rolled her eyes internally at Shishou's words, thinking,
How can you say such things with a straight face?
After leaving the Good Fortune Casino, Shishou went to other casinos, winning a few million more.
After killing some bandits who tried to rob him, Shishou found a secluded place and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha.
For the next week, Shishou sent a clone to deal with school matters while he himself scouted the casinos in Fire Source City.
With Takeko's help, Shishou quickly understood all the casinos and underground banks in Fire Source City within a week.
Excluding those with official backing from the Land of Fire, Shishou smoothly took control of the remaining casinos and banks.
Given his immense strength, things were very simple.
First, he would negotiate with the owners. If that failed, he would resort to violence.
These people weren't decent; they often did evil things, forcing women into prostitution.
Shishou had no qualms about killing them.
After using Sharingan illusions to identify a few particularly evil casino owners, Shishou devoured them with his insects in front of the others.
The remaining owners, terrified, unanimously agreed to let Shishou become their new boss.
Shishou then merged the controlled casinos into a new one called Abyssal Gambit.
He aimed to build it into a high-end, classy, renowned chain casino.
He banned all nefarious activities and even started a lottery business to support charitable causes in the Land of Fire.
He also consolidated the underground banks into a new company—
Ninja Union Bank.
Ninja Union Bank was naturally modeled after the Swiss banks from Shishou's previous life.
Its operations were similar to those of Swiss banks in his previous life.
Of course, these weren't the main reasons Shishou focused his future efforts on Fire Source City.
Iron mines and other mineral industries were his primary targets.
Whether it was for developing industry or aiming for dominance, iron mines and other minerals were crucial resources.
The only unfortunate part was that most of these industries were controlled by the official government of the Land of Fire, so Shishou couldn't seize them by force.
A single order from the Daimyo could have Konoha come after Shishou.
Until he had enough power, Shishou didn't want to openly confront Konoha.
Having set his direction, Shishou threw all tasks to Takeko.
He let Takeko manage everything while he only handled problems she couldn't solve.
With Shishou's support, Takeko quickly demonstrated her abilities, efficiently managing Shishou's casino and bank operations.
Midnight, Forest of Death.
Uchiha Mikoto sat on a giant tree, studying the Water Release scroll in her hands under the bright moonlight and with her Sharingan.
The area within a kilometer was part of Shishou's giant centipede territory, so no animals dared to approach, making it very quiet.
Suddenly, Uchiha Mikoto looked towards the shadows under the giant tree.
Moments later, Shishou's figure emerged from the darkness.
"I'm taking you somewhere."
"Taking me..."
Shishou approached Mikoto, grabbed her shoulder, and in her surprised gaze, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear.
Uchiha Residence.
A swarm of insects held a kunai, hovering three hundred meters above the ground.
The next second, Shishou and Uchiha Mikoto appeared in mid-air among the swarm and then began to fall straight down.
"Where are we..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Uchiha Mikoto realized the surroundings had changed.
Next, she felt herself suddenly become lighter and was horrified to find herself in mid-air.
"Ah~~~"
The sudden weightlessness made Uchiha Mikoto's mind go blank, and she screamed instinctively.
The fear of falling made her heart pound violently, and the rushing air quickly took away her body heat.
She felt as if she were falling into an abyss, her entire body freezing, her heart filled with unstoppable terror.
In the next second, strong arms wrapped around her body, surrounding her with warmth.
Opening her eyes, Uchiha Mikoto saw Shishou's handsome face smiling at her.
Being held in his arms, feeling his warmth, Uchiha Mikoto no longer felt the fear she did before. Instead, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Looking at his young, handsome face, Uchiha Mikoto, who had calmed down, suddenly felt a tremor run through her body.
A feeling of infatuation erupted deep within her heart.
She hooked her arms around Shishou's neck, closed her eyes, and kissed him.
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto initiate a kiss, Shishou was delighted, knowing his plan had succeeded.
Then, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique again to appear in Uchiha Sasuke's room.
At this moment, Sasuke was already in a deep sleep thanks to Shishou's "help." No matter how loud the noise, he wouldn't wake up.
Coming back to her senses from the kiss, Mikoto realized the surroundings had changed again.
Recognizing the familiar environment, her pupils widened in shock. She quickly broke free from Shishou's embrace and tried to reach out to the sleeping Sasuke, but Shishou held her back.
"Mikoto, you don't want Sasuke to know you're still alive, do you?"
"Do you think a child like him can keep such a secret?"
"Do you want him to face danger again?"
Hearing Shishou's words, Uchiha Mikoto froze, no longer struggling but instead stared at Sasuke, her eyes filled with a deep love.
But in the next moment, her body trembled.
Her cheeks quickly turned red.
"You-you-you..."
Uchiha Mikoto panicked.
"Intense emotional fluctuations help you master the Sharingan."
"Don't move, you don't want Sasuke to find out, do you?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto's heart raced, her nerves on edge.
"But..."
But Sasuke is right here.
Uchiha Mikoto's emotions surged wildly, her three-tomoe Sharingan becoming even redder, and her ocular power rapidly increasing.
"There's no 'but'."
...
One hour later.
Forest of Death.
On the giant tree, Uchiha Mikoto looked at Shishou with a complicated expression.
She had initially thought that the claim of intense emotional fluctuations helping to master the Sharingan was just his perverted hobby.
However, seeing the Mangekyou Sharingan in Shishou's eyes, she was silent.
The clear evidence before her left no room for doubt.
"Who would have thought this would awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan."
"Although what just happened was indeed very stimulating."
"But this was too simple."
Feeling the changes in his ocular power, Shishou was extremely happy.
His earlier actions were just a means to subdue Mikoto.
Unexpectedly, it led to the awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
What a pleasant surprise.
Though this was unexpected, it made sense.
Shishou's Uchiha bloodline came from Phosphorescent Worms devouring the bodies of two to three hundred Uchiha clan members.
The richness of his Uchiha bloodline was on par with Uchiha Madara, the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' son. Awakening the Mangekyou with a little stimulation wasn't hard to understand.
Simple?
Hearing Shishou's words, Uchiha Mikoto froze.
Thinking about how Shishou not only mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique but also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan through her "help," and comparing it to her own failure to awaken the Mangekyou despite experiencing the clan massacre and recent humiliation, she felt a surge of bitterness and grievance.
Silent tears began to flow from her eyes.
"..."
Seeing Mikoto silently weeping, Shishou forgot about studying his Mangekyou.
He pursed his lips, cupped her face, and kissed her deeply.
There was a saying in his previous life:
When couples argue, nothing can solve it better than a good romp.
If one romp doesn't work, then two.
Shishou deeply believed this.
"You-you, you still want..."
Sure enough, Uchiha Mikoto's attention was instantly diverted, her face turning bright red...
...
Elsewhere, Uchiha Izumi, who had come looking for Mikoto after noticing her absence for too long, heard strange noises from above and paused.
Her face flushed, and she quickly hid in the shadows.
After listening for a while, Uchiha Izumi, with a red face, returned to the lab and prevented other children from searching for Uchiha Mikoto.
