For a moment, Tobirama Senju had a thought: maybe teaching this group of geniuses was his stroke of luck!
Having been revived, the chance to train a new generation of powerful ninja for the Hidden Leaf might just be the purpose of his return!
The only downside? All twelve of these kids looked to Hirofumi Ito as their leader!
That naturally evil Hirofumi brat!!!
But then, a small smirk crept onto Tobirama's face.
"Heh… I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. Wonder how much of a storm these kids will stir up in the ninja world under Hirofumi's lead!"
As he mused, Tobirama's stomach growled. He set up a small hot pot in his villa.
Hirofumi had left behind a stash of ingredients and seasonings in the summoning realm—flavors so delicious they put anything in the ninja world to shame. Sadly, they couldn't be taken outside.
Recently, Tobirama had come up with a new recipe.
He tossed his favorite hot pot base into the pot, added some pickled veggies, chive flowers, and other condiments, then dropped in chunks of sliced tofu into the boiling broth!
"Heh heh…
Pickled veggies and boiled tofu~
No Hokage can outshine me now!~"
After singing a couple of lines, Tobirama fished out a piece of tofu and popped it into his mouth.
"Mmm… Delicious as always! Ah! This moment calls for a song!!!
Back in the day, my tears wouldn't dry~"

Meanwhile, in the outside world, Hirofumi Ito was lying on his bed when he suddenly felt the Flying Thunder God mark left by Minato Namikaze activate!
In the next instant, Minato and Fugaku Uchiha appeared by his side.
Seeing the two, Hirofumi's heart raced with excitement. How much money had these two Hokage-level powerhouses managed to rake in this time?!
How many more strong allies could he summon with it?!
But before he could ask, Fugaku let out a creepy laugh.
"Jie jie jie jie jie…
Big Yellow Namikaze!!! You dared threaten me outside the village?!
We're back in the village now! What're you gonna do about it?!"
Hirofumi froze. Big Yellow? What the heck is that?!
Minato, unfazed, wore an expression that said everything was under control.
"Heh… Little Black Uchiha, if I can teleport you in, I can teleport you out!
You didn't really think my Flying Thunder God only works one way, did you?! Better sleep with one eye open, or I might just drop you straight into the Raikage's bed!
Tch tch tch… I bet those big, burly Cloud ninja would love a delicate little guy like you, Little Black!
Jie jie jie jie jie jie jie!"
Fugaku's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
"Ahem… Watergate, alright, I admit I got a bit loud earlier. Heh… Nothing happened, okay?! Damn it! Who cast that genjutsu just now?!"
Minato gave Fugaku a sly, knowing smile, not bothering to call out his flimsy excuse.
Hirofumi, meanwhile, was dumbfounded. Why did it feel like these two came back from their trip completely different?!
And Big Yellow and Little Black?! What was that about?!
They just went to rob some money, right? Why'd they go and change their names?!
Was Minato Namikaze not cool enough? Was Fugaku Uchiha not badass enough? Why Big Yellow and Little Black?! Those names sounded like they belonged to dogs!
"Uh… Uncle Watergate, Uncle Fugaku, what's going on with you two?! And what's with this Big Yellow and Little Black nonsense?!"
Seeing Hirofumi's confusion, Minato and Fugaku gave a quick rundown of their recent escapades.
They spilled the beans about using transformation jutsu and aliases, as well as Minato's threat to Fugaku outside the village.
Fugaku's face darkened.
Hirofumi's expression, on the other hand, turned… weird.
"Uh… Uncle Fugaku…"
"What's up, Hirofumi?"
"Did you forget? You're a summoned beast right now!
Sure, I'm the one who summoned you, but summoned beasts can cancel their contracts on their own.
If you do that, you'd pop right back into my summoning realm! You didn't think of that, did you?!"
Fugaku froze, his face cycling through a rainbow of colors.
Clenching his teeth for a long moment, he finally let out a powerless…
"Damn it!!!!"
Minato burst into laughter, having already thought of this. Who knew his buddy's brain was so slow he hadn't even considered something so simple?!
After a good laugh, Minato tossed a massive bag in front of Hirofumi.
"Hirofumi, this is the haul we got this time. It's a lot—over 1.4 billion ryo. That should be enough to summon Kushina, right?!"
Fugaku's eyes lit up with hope as he looked at Hirofumi.
Hirofumi, meanwhile, was floored.
What the heck did these two do?!
Over 1.4 billion ryo in just half a month?!
That was more than the Uchiha clan's savings over decades!
"Hold on… Uncle Watergate, Uncle Fugaku, what did you guys do?! You didn't rob the treasuries of the Five Great Nations, did you?!"
Minato scratched his head with his signature sheepish grin.
"Haha… Nah, we didn't go that far. But we did clean out a bunch of rich tycoons across the ninja world to pull this off!"
Hirofumi swallowed hard, silently mourning for those tycoons for three seconds…
But in the next moment, his heart surged with excitement!
With this kind of money, he could draw again!!!
Er… no, summon again!
And this time, he might even solve a nagging question that'd been bothering him!
