The Days of Being the Richest Man in the Ninja World-Chapter 327. Critical Eye

Chapter 327. Critical Eye

---

The music continued, and the dance went on.

At this moment—

Jiraiya... Jitsuko-hime had no idea that because of this one dance, his close friend—Orochimaru—might never return again, and might even now be plotting something terrifying.

After all—

This was total social death in the Ninja World!

You have to understand, this was hosted by Konoha's famous enterprise—Root Studio—and broadcast live across the entire Ninja World. So, by this point... a lot of people had probably already seen this "Orochi-hime."

Of course—

Jitsuko-hime didn't care at all, continuing to sway that voluptuous figure of hers.

Truly worthy of being the Ninja World's "research" expert Jiraiya's disguise—cough cough—his hand-picked beauty. That figure, that posture, that peculiar dance style... immediately made everyone's eyes go wide, especially those who came with their girlfriends or wives... after a moment of watching, they started shifting uncomfortably in their seats.

Even the dignified Fourth Hokage was now smiling bitterly as his wife pinched his waist!

Kushina furiously tugged at Minato while scolding the pervy sage for being an old pervert, silently warning herself: she must never let Jiraiya near Naruto—what if he corrupted their child?!

As for Minato... what else could he do besides smile wryly?

After all, Jiraiya was his teacher, and because he'd wanted to show his students the world a few years ago, now on the internet... sigh, the past is past—best not to talk about it!

He just never expected that Jiraiya-sensei, Tsunade-sama, and...

He glanced at that black-haired "beauty" who looked both familiar and unfamiliar.

Could it be that Jiraiya-sensei wasn't afraid of Orochimaru catching him and feeding him to snakes?

That thing's so big?!

And yet—

He didn't know—

Jiraiya had originally designed a matching exclusive "Toad Dance Costume" for this routine—tight-fitting, cinched at the waist, blazing hot... but it was rejected. Otherwise, by now, the entire audience would probably have had nosebleeds!

Still—

The current situation wasn't much better. The venue was full of groans and screams, and paired with those dazzling lights... it really did feel a bit like a nightclub!

Three Princesses of the Nightclub?

Truly worthy of being the number-one field researcher of the Ninja World—the pervy sage who'd toured most of the Ninja World's red-light districts~

I learned it! I learned it!

At this moment—

Even Hyuga Hanabi was holding up her camera, filming the scene.

At first, she had refused.

But the moment Orochi-hime took the stage, she couldn't help but raise her camera with both hands. freewēbnoveℓ.com

If she brought this footage back... she figured Yamato-senpai might laugh so hard he'd clutch his stomach.

The Fifth Ninja World War would break out!

All because of Orochimaru!

Thinking about all the photos and videos she'd collected over the past few years... it really was dangerous. If any of it leaked into the Ninja World across the sea, the Fifth Ninja World War...

It might seriously be her fault.

But—

As expected—

That still wouldn't stop her from enjoying the show!

It was just... the vibe around her seemed a little off~

She hesitated, turned to look toward the judges' panel—and saw Yuto sitting upright, hands clasped under his chin, looking incredibly serious, as if critically evaluating the performance with piercing judgment and giving a satisfied nod.

Yuto didn't seem to be staring at the stage like other men~

But—

Hanabi didn't know—

There was no way he dared to stare right now~

Not to mention that the person on stage was just using a Transformation Jutsu—even if it were a real beauty... the moment he felt a few pairs of eyes staring at him from behind, he instantly became a righteous gentleman.

He had to watch the stage with a critical eye.

Vulgar!

Crude!

Pah!

And this was supposedly some kind of "Toad Dance"?

Who are you trying to fool?!

I, Uchiha Yuto, was absolutely watching with a critical eye!

Very soon—

The flashy lights disappeared, and the three princes of nightclubs—ugh, the three princesses of nightclubs—Jitsuko-hime and the others stopped dancing and struck a hot pose.

Meanwhile, the Third Hokage and the rest also calmed down.

"What a passionate dance!" The host walked up on stage with an awkward smile, letting out a dry laugh. "I can already hear your cheers! Who would've thought the opening performance would be so fiery? Let's give a big round of applause to the Three Princesses of Konoha! That was amazing!"

As soon as the words dropped—

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Applause rang out, and the host continued, "Now, our panel of judges will give their scores. I wonder what kind of scores they'll give?"

After a brief pause, seeing that the judges had quickly given their scores—

"Seven points! Six points! Six points! Seven point five! Five points! Oh~ my! Our esteemed Third Hokage actually gave the lowest score—only five points! Let's hear his reasons!"

As soon as he said that—

Smack—a loud slap on the table.

"Vulgar!"

"Third Hokage, you... your nose is bleeding!"

"Oh~ sorry! Just a little irritation lately, no big deal!" Sarutobi Hiruzen awkwardly wiped his nose, adjusted his posture again, and slammed the table once more in righteous indignation, glaring at the stage. "Vulgar! Crude! Who would've thought such a performance would appear in a match of this importance? As the Third Hokage... I must give it a harsh critique!"

As soon as he said that—

Off to the side, Yuto rolled his eyes. [This old guy was clearly staring without blinking just now!]

"This kind of vulgar dance! We must strictly prohibit it in public performances here in Konoha! It seriously damages the cultural image of our village! If others misunderstand, that would be terrible!" Hiruzen let out a sigh. "Sigh~ I never expected someone would perform such a dance in public... This... perhaps it's also my failure as the Third Hokage! I forgot to instill the cultural spirit of the Will of Fire!"

"Calm down! Calm down! Tsunade! Everyone's watching us!"

"Shut up, Jiraiya! Let me go down there and tear that old guy apart! His eyes were practically popping out just now!"

Jitsuko and Orochi-hime held tightly onto Tsunade on stage. Though they were stopping her, why did they still have those pervy expressions?

At that moment—

"I was looking with a critical eye!" Feeling the dangerous stares behind him, Hiruzen quickly realized he shouldn't go any further. He cleared his throat and said, "Of course! The dance itself was quite novel—like being transported to a field filled with frog croaks. Not bad! Not bad! If it could be modified a bit, I believe it would be an excellent performance. That deserves recognition." At this, he smiled at the other male judges. "What do you all think of what I just said?"

"..."

What could they say?

Of course—it was perfectly said!

Why the low scores then?

Exactly.

They were just watching seriously and with critical eyes.

No other intention at all!

At this point—

If you were to go interview ten male spectators in the audience, nine out of ten would surely say the Third Hokage was right. Truly the moral model of Konoha, a kind and upright elder.

As for the last one...

He'd probably say something even harsher than the Third Hokage!

Next—

Having received unanimous approval, the judges awkwardly invited the Three Princesses of Konoha off the stage. Jitsuko quickly coaxed Tsunade to step down.

The competition had to go on.

As for the score...

There might be ones even lower later.

Want to break some bones? No rush—wait a bit longer~

Once the Three Princesses of Konoha left the stage, the competition resumed... and everyone also withdrew their critical eyes, focusing back on the event.

As for those scenes replaying in their minds—the big... pah... white... pah pah... dance! That was just them fiercely criticizing it in their minds!

That's right!

All of it was criticism!

As the music started again, the next round of performances began.
