Naruto: Recharging With Money System

patreon.com/YeQingtian 55+Chapters.

As night fell over Konoha, the streets grew quiet. The only figures moving were the shinobi patrols, ensuring the village's safety. For most civilians, the day had ended, and they had retreated to their homes. In this world, where entertainment was scarce, the only nighttime activities left were resting or… well, creating the next generation of shinobi.

In the Hokage's Office, Second Hokage Senju Tobirama remained at his desk, tirelessly reviewing documents. As the leader of the village, all the affairs of Konoha rested on his shoulders. Despite his deteriorating health, he refused to slow down, determined to secure the village's future before he was gone.

Unfortunately, he knew not everyone understood his burden. Too many eyes were watching, waiting for him to falter so they could claim power in his absence.

A crisp knock at the door interrupted Tobirama's thoughts.

"Second Grandpa."

The door opened, and Tsunade stepped inside, carrying a food box in her hands.

Tobirama looked up, his stern expression softening slightly. "Oh? Little Tsunade, what brings you here instead of resting?"

"Hehe, didn't you say before that you wanted to try Ishiwaka's ramen? Well, I brought some for you!"

"You brought me ramen? Hahaha." Tobirama let out a rare chuckle.

"Our little Tsunade has become thoughtful," he said warmly. "I just mentioned wanting to try it, and here you are, actually bringing it to me."

"As your granddaughter, isn't it my duty to take care of you?" Tsunade grinned. "Come on, eat it while it's hot!"

She placed the food box on his desk.

"Even Grandma liked it," she added. "I brought her a serving too."

"Oh?" Tobirama raised an eyebrow. "You brought one for my sister-in-law as well? That's quite considerate of you."

Tsunade smiled proudly. "Actually, I only bought one at first. But when Boss Ishiwaka heard I was bringing it for you, he gave me another for free and told me to take one for Grandma as well."

Tobirama opened the food box, allowing the rich aroma of the ramen to fill the office. He inhaled deeply and nodded in approval.

"The boy from the Ishiwaka family has a good heart. He hasn't forgotten our Senju clan."

Tsunade's ears perked up. "The Ishiwaka family? You mean Boss Ishiwaka? What's their story?"

She knew the Senju clan had many former vassal families, but she didn't recall much about the Ishiwaka clan.

Tobirama sighed. "There is only one person left from the Ishiwaka family now."

"What? Why? What happened to them?"

Tobirama leaned back, his expression darkening. "In truth, we Senju owe the Ishiwaka family a great debt."

Seeing her curiosity, he decided to share the story.

During the Warring States Period, the Ishiwaka clan was one of the most loyal allies of the Senju. Unlike other clans who aligned with Hashirama out of fear or political advantage, the Ishiwaka clan followed them with unwavering devotion.

Because of this loyalty, they earned the hatred of many smaller clans, who couldn't challenge the mighty Senju but found an easy target in their allies.

Eventually, these rival clans launched a coordinated attack on the Ishiwaka family.

The result?

Almost complete annihilation.

By the time Hashirama established Konoha, the once-thriving Ishiwaka clan had been reduced to a shadow of its former self. Only a few survivors made it to Konoha, and over time, they dwindled until just one descendant remained—Ishiwaka Kenichi.

Hearing this, Tsunade's fists clenched.

"So all the Ishiwaka ninjas died… for us? For Konoha? And now only Boss Ishiwaka is left?"

Tobirama nodded. "Yes. The Ishiwaka clan gave everything for the Senju… and for this village."

Tsunade looked down, deep in thought.

Pushing aside the heavy mood, Tobirama finally took a bite of the ramen.

His eyebrows raised in pleasant surprise.

Despite being packaged and transported, the noodles were still springy and had absorbed the rich broth beautifully. The seasoning was perfect, and the side ingredients complemented the dish without overpowering it.

"Hmph. This kid from the Ishiwaka family truly has talent."

Tsunade beamed. "See? Didn't I tell you? His shop is super popular! Oh, and he recently invented something called instant ramen! You just add hot water, and it's ready in minutes!"

Tobirama paused, considering the implications.

"Instant ramen?"

His first thought was: Can this be used for ninja missions?

If it provided a hot meal without requiring a fire, it could be useful for patrol squads and shinobi on long-term assignments.

"Well, well," Tobirama muttered. "That Ishiwaka boy is more capable than I expected."

Tsunade smiled. "I told you, he's really smart!"

As Tobirama and Tsunade enjoyed their meal, Ishiwaka Kenichi sat on his bed, about to enter Sage Mode training when—

[Ding!]

A familiar, annoying voice echoed in his mind.

"Dear master, have you missed me?"

Kenichi's eyelid twitched.

He sneered. "Miss you? Oh, of course. I miss you so much… I wish you'd drop dead!"

His system, the greedy, scam-artist, had returned.

"After you drained my money last time and gave me a pile of useless junk, you have the nerve to show up?!"

[Oh, calm down, dear master! You're just unlucky, that's all!]

Kenichi's vein throbbed. "Unlucky?! You split a single cup noodle machine into FIVE separate parts and made me waste money drawing them one by one! What's next? A hundred-piece puzzle for a rice cooker?!"

[Ahem… Well, a full production line is complicated—]

"Screw you!" Kenichi shouted.

If this damn system wasn't intangible, he would have beaten it to death by now.

[Alright, alright, let's not dwell on the past. I actually came with a special reward for you.]

Kenichi narrowed his eyes. "Oh? What scam are you running this time?"

[Master, didn't you once mention that you wanted to… resurrect someone?]

Kenichi's breath hitched for a moment.

Then, before him, a new lottery wheel appeared—designed eerily similar to the Hokage mobile game summon interface.

[Tada! Presenting the Resurrection Roulette!]

Kenichi's face darkened.
