Chereads / Just a guy in the Elemental Nations / Chapter 12 - 12. Company

Chapter 12 - 12. Company

It's been exactly three years since the Kyuubi attack, and I'm amazed at how the village quickly got back to its knees. Konoha may be thriving for peace and tend to be more pacifist but it has a hella lot of power to command for peace, albeit a small-period.

I'm also impressed with how the spy network is effectively supplying false information towards other villages, be it major or minor ones. There's still a lot of tension with Iwa right now since the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, is dead set on killing the lightning flash and crippling the Konoha forces.

'Just you wait...'

I have a love-hate relationship with Konoha... I love it since it's giving shelter and protection for the Uchiha clan, there are also lots of nice people here. However, I don't like how dirty this village is... and I'm talking politically. Fortunately, the Yondaime's alive so I think everything won't be as lax as when the Sandaime took the seat.

For the past years, I've been as productive as I can. Since the Uchiha Clan was losing lots of money because of the Kyuubi situation, I invented a company since I couldn't just say 'Hey, I have lots of money, here have some...', although I'm strong, I don't want to make the clan lose its face by having a member who'd be irresponsible, especially at the main house.

I tapped a small black object that's on my ear as I heard a small beep, "Yes? Okay... I'm coming..."

Yes... earphones... and Yes... I have invented smartphones.

I don't need a cell tower since I just flew towards space with seals and placed a small satellite that has a bunch of seals in it that absorbs any kind of chakra within miles of radius. The connection is also verily amplified, it can cover the entire elemental nations.

I would've never created this if not for the fact that messenger hawks are a recipe for disaster. Imagine sending a very important message for a backup. No, thank you. Messenger hawks are meant to be intercepted one way or another.

Smartphones on the other hand? In this world, no one will ever know how to hack and spy since I use seals as a base for the phones, earphones, etc., and the letters of every single seal have an imprint of thousands of codes in it. I mean Swift and Brainfuck programming language. So the chances of someone cracking every code of my servers is lower than zero.

I discussed everything with uncle Fugaku before launching it, hiring fifteen non-shinobi members for sales and repair. I don't want to make an unbreakable phone, I wouldn't be able to capitalize that way. I also hired ten shinobis that are Uchihas only, not to be racist, or anything that may be called with an 'ist' but, I'd really like my clan to prosper.

I'm so obsessed with making the Uchiha clan great again since it's a hugely misunderstood clan. Because of the Nidaime's disgust, the clan was reduced to a police force. He made it so that he could monitor the Uchiha clan meticulously. There are also subtle signals of village propaganda that Uchihas are strict, cold, and evil, that's why people usually avoid us.

Anyways, I walked towards a huge building where my company was located to find a big-boobed nee-san attracting the passerby's attention. Although we Uchihas are usually outcasted, I taught my workers unnoticeable subtle genjutsus to alter someone's view towards you, and this clearly worked as thousands of people have already bought our product.

She saw me and nodded towards me with respect, I taught them that. There was no need to bow, that's cringe.

I replied with a nod in return and continued my way inside the building and saw lots of phones on the display. The designs are simple, it's really just an iPhone with the edge of a Samsung. I just combined the biggest brands to create a masterpiece. There isn't only one type of phone, there are also cheap, small, a little slow that cost almost R5000 to expensive, big, and a lot faster phones that are over R12000. I also sold wireless earbuds, from sport to comfort, qualities also depend on the price. I'm like the new Apple company, I make people broke.

I saw a big set of stairs and walk up to find a glass door. I opened it, to find someone that's newly added to our family, "Akira-ossan..."

~Flashback~

"AHHHH!!!!!" I yawned and stretched my body as much as I could as I continued sightseeing the village on top of the Hokage Monument, "Itachiiiii... do you have some food with you? You know your mom's really good at cooking, there's no way she wouldn't have some extra ther-"

"Stop blabbering already, here..." Itachi emotionlessly shove the small bag to my face, making me grin.

"So... why'd you bring me here?" Itachi asked, just eating his Dango, "You know, my father's going to give me a lecture again..."

"Come on... lighten up will ya? I'm sure your dad's just gonna give you his love taps..." I opened the box and smelled a very alluring aroma, "Kiriboshi!!!"

Sighing a little, Itachi looked at the village from above, "No wonder you always come here, the view's... confounding..."

"Umm..." I grabbed his attention for a bit, "I think you mean to say amazing, or astonishing, astounding... confounding? The hell you talking about?"

"Shut up..."

"Yeah yeah..."

We were just enjoying our time in silence while eating, then Itachi suddenly dropped a bomb.

"Did you know?"

"Know what?"

"So you didn't know?"

"Just tell me already..."

"Sigh... I thought you knew..."

"Okay just spit it out already..."

"Hmm... how do I say this... I saw... I mean, I saw your mother talking with a guy down by the river near our compound before yesterday..."

"!!!"

"..."

"!!!... *ahem* you're joking right?"

Itachi just stared at me, not a single emotion on his face...

"Oh yeah, you're Itachi, you don't joke..."

"I take offense to that..."

"Yeah whatever, but REALLY?"

"..."

"The heck I'm going right now!!!"

XXXXXXXXXX

I dashed my way towards a restaurant and bought lots of food, then went to the compound and gave the guards something good to eat for their efforts. After a little courtesy, I immediately went to my house. However before I could go near, I saw a man giving flowers to my mother. He had a built body, but I could tell he wasn't a shinobi or just not now.

I could see my mother hesitating on receiving, deciding quickly, I rushed near them, "Go, gurl! Washu waiting for!!??"

Mother was shaking for a second and then saw me cheering, she had the 'bruh' face on from the moment she saw my 'stinky ass' face, 'Ain't that what you're looking for?? A big man with a big- umphfh!"

"Y-You brat!" Mother immediately covered my mouth, making the man laugh.

'Hmm... nothing can betray my senses... he's a good guy!'

"Mom, come on... I know this guy's your type, why're you not accepting the flowers? I bet they're from the Yamanakas, you know, the expensive ones..."

Mother had a blush covering her face, I bet that's embarrassment right there...

She then took the flowers and tried to smile, "W-Why don't you come inside? Let's let you meet little Hina..."

I grinned and patted the back of the guy, "He~he! Don't worry, little Hina's just a ball of sunshine, you won't get tired of her!" 'Finally, I have someone to share the pain to...'

~Flashback End~

"Akira-ossan..."

"Hmm?" My now stepdad turned around and raised a brow, "Oh, it's you gaki, I ain't old yet you know... I could run this company for more than a hundred years, bet..."

I rolled my eyes, then sat near him, "So? Your assistant called me..."

"Really? Oh yeah!" Akira-ossan scratched his head in embarrassment, "Umm..."

I sighed as I massaged my forehead, "Don't tell me it's our-"

"Can you teach me how to download the game where you swipe up to jump then down to skid? The temple-temple thingy..."

'Kami-sama... I know you're real, I've seen Shinigami and I just have a little prayer... give me the patience to not strangle this man and throw him in the ocean...'
