Time skip: MC Age 8 years old/ A couple of months
Like an athlete, I need to consume meals based on nutritional science. I thought while a knife was in my hand and a pan in front of me.
I started chopping up various vegetables.
Vitamins and minerals were needed to stimulate tissue growth.
I added potherbs, homemade dried mushrooms and root vegetables. Then I stewed it in a pressure cooker with herbs.
The Sharingan comes in real handy for stuff like this. Especially since I live alone now... Well, Hiro did commit suicide a couple of months back.
It was just the same thing again. Funeral, people's pity and encouragement... Repeat. They thought I had some kind of bad luck. Nothing had really happened so far. My overall strength so far equates to around high Genin level.
My chakra control and swordsmanship are a notch higher than everything else. Since the Sharingan allows me to see what other people don't. Also weapon throwing... Is improving rapidly. It's like the eyes show you the hidden calculations for when you throw.
Speaking of eyes... I got my original ones after the first funeral. They are still in the same condition. Just leaving it in a glass jar full of water and burying it is fine. I do go check on it from time to time.
Leaving it in the house is risky. Anbu could enter at any time without me knowing, their profession is infiltration and espionage after all. Someone like me can't discern any hidden details from people at their skill level.
I quickly got snapped out of my thoughts as I heard the pot steaming... Finally, time to eat.
I hurriedly went and served my food on a plate. And then got a spoon as I carried it to the table. Which had a paper on it. I started reading it until I got to the bottom which read...
[--This Month--]
[Net Sales: 50000 ryo]
[Cost of sales: 2500 ryo]
[Profit: 47500 ryo]
Nearly racking in 50000 ryo a month now. I think it's time to release the next volume of One piece. I do spend the most I can for it to be in manga form and a novel one. It is more enjoyable for kids and older people can read it too.
It did start slow because I wasn't really putting a good amount of money into the novel. Meaning a limited audience to read it. But from the profit of the book, I used that for publishing it.
The money goes towards my everyday needs, and tools for training. Also, I still had money from the inheritance which was nearly 600000 ryo.
In the previous world, this would be considered a pretty good income. Earning $5000 a month could take care of a family of four. But I needed more... For equipment, and to go into the darker side of the business aspect in this world.
The black market...

Three months later...
In the streets of Konoha, a crowd of people were lining up with expectant gazes while looking at a medium-sized shop.
"More batches of fried and grilled chicken!" A worker shouted.
Another person just got his fried chicken in a small box with a happy smile on his face. He immediately took a bite out of it and you could tell the way he savoured the flavour that he liked it.
"Mhmm. So good, that boy's idea of putting this type of food in Konoha is genius. Even his ingredients are the best." He delightfully said with a mouthful as he walked off.
"Thank you, sir. Please come back again!" A boy yelled joyfully. He had smooth black hair which was wrapped in a ponytail and black dull eyes while wearing a different outfit to the other workers.
"Haha!... Don't worry. I come here all the time Yokuma. Just make sure you keep running this place and don't shut it down." He sarcastically replied to which Yokuma just nodded with smiling eyes.
--POV Yokuma--
Yes... I decided to buy out this building and its land and then remake it. There was a high demand if I put modern-day fried food on the market. And it worked in just 2 months customers kept flooding in. Books weren't my only source of income now.
Missions won't pay enough at the start. But as I keep getting higher ones it'll add up. Just look at my parents, they only earned money from continuous missions. Which was slow unless they're B, A or S level.
I want to take over the food market. Then I could buy people's stores and ingredients for a price. Like Ichiraku ramen.
I thought as I shut down my shop. It was nearly midnight now. I had no parents so none of that hassle of curfew or going to bed early. I train during the night too now. Since I just go sleep in the academy and just get someone else's notebook and copy it.

Somewhere else in Konoha.....
"Yokuma... He's showing promise a lot these days. Even as a half Uchiha. What do you think Fugaku?" An elderly weak voice spoke.
"Hmm... Elder, I think you may be right. He is improving a lot these days since he got his Sharingan. Which he unlocked merely at the age of seven. This is really early for an Uchiha and it is a good sign." Fugaku spoke calmly and respectfully. To which the elder nodded and added on,
"Even his temperament is not normal. After his loved ones died he didn't succumb to revenge or anything like that. But just doesn't want anyone to go through what he did. Truly a strange one."
"If that happened to us at that age... Only God knows what we would do. I never went through such trauma to awaken the Sharingan because of my talent. Also, I got the mangekyo through means which even I don't feel comfortable talking about." Fugaku reminiscently said.
"Sigh... You had to do, what you had to Fugaku. It was his choice, and he wanted you to do it." The elder pitifully glanced at him.
"But speaking about Yokuma, we need to reel him in before the old fox third does. Or even Danzo, like he did to them two. That guy will pay for his deeds soon enough." When Fugaku spoke about him, his fists and jaw were clenched showing his cheekbones. The elder also frowned at his name.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*
I was currently training in my backyard with all the new changes I made to it. Because of my hearing which was a lot better than average, I heard three light taps at the front door. To which I immediately stopped and wore a t-shirt.
Then I walked at a medium pace and quickly turned off my Sharingan as I saw a chakra signature in front of me. Putting my hand on the knob and gently opening it I saw a man towering over my height which was 5'1.
People here grow earlier than normal. My parents' height were both pretty good so with my diet and flexibility I am on the taller side of the spectrum.
At first glance, I noticed his black hair and eyes. Also, the Uchiha top he had. Why were they looking for me?.. Maybe to use my ties to their clan as an excuse to get a hold of me and take away my assets?...
Or take advantage of my situation and throw me into the war as cannon fodder because they might have despised my bloodline?..
I don't know... I'm just thinking of the worst.
While thinking all this I still had the same eye smile and polite expression on my face. But he still maintained his stoic and cold demeanour in front of me.
"The Patriarch wants to see you." He coldly stated like a robot.
"Ummm... Why does he want to see me?... Can you possibly elaborate?" I cluelessly probed to which he just tutted and replied,
"Listen brat I don't know. Can you just make this easier for me and come on. These kinds of errands are below for someone like me." He stood in an arrogant posture as he said this.
"Ok, sorry. Now can you please direct me there?" I said innocently.
"Sure, sure just come on tch. Try to catch up with me though." He arrogantly said and start leaping roof to roof. To which I did the same too.
While we were on the way their I kept thinking about what this was about. I never stopped. As I didn't know what was to come.

Finally... We reached the Uchiha compound after a few minutes. He was holding back his speed by quite a lot. Probably a special or actual jonin. But as I was going through I got the stares of other people and whispers.
They have been talking about me it seems. But what is the reason?
"Hehe kid, you should take this opportunity he gives you or your going to regret it." The man who took me here said with a smug face. To which I just confusedly raised a brow.

I was currently standing in front of Fugaku and an old man. Which seemed to be someone who the likes of Fugaku respected. With my polite and courteous expression, I looked at them both.
"Yokuma... You don't know why you're here right?" Fugaku asked amusingly. I just nodded without speaking first. It was quite an impression he gives me. Fugaku is the man who's nearly on par with Hiruzen.
He even has the mangekyo Sharingan which hardly any Uchiha have awakened. His demeanour is calm and collected. Just like how a patriarch should be. Maybe the birth of his children turned down his rational side a bit.
"We've got a choice for you. Since you are an Uchiha and have no family we want to let's say... take you in." The elder spoke after a long time.
I see now. They saw my performance and want to strengthen their clan. Ok then, this might come with benefits even if I'm getting manipulated. I can just act as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Act weak when you're strong.
While thinking this I looked at them suspiciously to which they both just acknowledged.
'It seems he has changed since that incident.' The elder inwardly thought. But then persuasively said, "Don't worry young one. We just do not want a fellow Uchiha who's alone. So we just kindly offered you to join our family."
"But of course not for free." Fugaku seriously added.
"What do you mean?... Not for free?" I asked obliviously. But I already knew why.
"There is a condition that you have to meet. That is to marry fully into our clan. Since you're half Uchiha, you have to become one with us. And there is no better way than for us to pick a girl for you to marry when you mature."
This wasn't really a hard choice. It obviously was to choose to join the Uchiha clan. I'll have a truly strong backing from Danzo. Also, this compound can help me gain more customers when I open a new shop.
And make a relationship with Fugaku. So I can finally start learning Jutsu's. Which even with my money I can't buy a single one. I'm lucky to even have that Kurama girl as a way to get Genjutsu.
"Sigh... Family... You know I have missed having one all this time. But for some reason when you asked me to join I was ecstatic but then my paranoid side came out. Which has been there since that day, And it was screaming for me to not trust you." I was seriously speaking which they listened with amusement.
"But then I started thinking. What if it is my cowardly side?... These people have given me a second chance for a family and I'm saying no?... This is what my parents would want me to do. For me to be happy and take this chance..."
"So I sincerely ask for you... No this clan to take care of me."
I bowed to which a victorious glint was in their eyes as I said this.
