The revelry continued until the afternoon.

If Chiken hadn't gone on stage and forcibly shut off the music, that DJ would probably have been spinning records all night.

"Everyone in Konoha, I'll see you tonight..." Shin hadn't finished speaking when the old man snatched the microphone from his hand.

He could only pout to express his dissatisfaction, and finally walked off the stage with a boastful smile on his face.

Chiken's eyes twitched. The shape of his brat's mouth clearly said, "Just you wait."

However, for the sake of the bigger picture, he decided to start their long-awaited father-son showdown tonight.

With a plan in mind, he picked up the microphone and addressed the audience still slumped in their seats below.

He announced directly, "The Uchiha Commercial Street is officially open for business. Please enter in an orderly fashion. Thank you for your cooperation."

Finally, he added mysteriously, "Today, everything is 20% off, and there are many mysterious shops waiting for you to discover~"

The crowd began to gradually enter the commercial street.

Even those who were too exhausted to move forced themselves to perk up after hearing about the discount and headed towards the commercial street.

The layout of the commercial street was extremely simple. The entrance was a palm-shaped pit with special significance.

In addition, various shops lined both sides of the street.

The dining area and entertainment and leisure area were located right in the center.

Overall, it wasn't too different from Konoha's architectural style.

Nawaki, as limp as a noodle, suggested weakly, "Big sis, let's go home. I can't even move anymore."

"No, I'm going to bankrupt the Uchiha!"

"Big sis, you're not just thinking about gambling, are you?"

"What are you talking about? Would I do that?"

The utterly exhausted Nawaki could only roll his Byakugan to indicate that the truth was exactly that.

The title of Konoha's Fat Sheep had been with Tsunade since she was a child.

"Let's go, let's go."

Tsunade ignored Nawaki's look.

Then she picked him up and strode towards the commercial street.

To have so much strength after jumping around for so long.

It was clear that her stamina was indeed extraordinary.

On the Hyuga Clan's side.

Hiashi was energetically holding Hizashi and Nao's hands.

"Father, are you really not coming with us?"

"No, what good stuff could that old geezer come up with?" Meitoku maintained a disdainful attitude.

Wanting him to spend money in the Uchiha's place? No way.

"Honey, aren't the three-piece sets at home pretty good?" Sakura narrowed her eyes. "You watch that TV every day, don't you?"

"I... I'm just curious how that little disc can play pictures."

Meitoku said that he was simply curious about the discs that Shin had sent over later.

Anyway, he wouldn't admit that he watched them every day.

"Honey, who are the three people in the Peach Garden Oath?"

"It's Liu Guan Zhang, the second episode started halfway through."

"..."X4

All four were defeated by his refusal to admit it.

Meitoku quickly retorted, "No, listen to me..."

"It's just pure curiosity..."X4

Before he could finish, the entire Hyuga Clan chimed in.

Meitoku, his face darkening, had no choice but to agree to go in and take a look.

"We agreed, we can't buy anything..."

He vowed, "Even if I, Hyuga Meitoku, jump off Hokage Rock and die outside, I won't spend a single penny!"

And so, the Hyuga Clan also entered the commercial street.

Inside the commercial street.

Outside the Uchiha Maid Cafe, a white-haired man was leering at the interior.

"Wow, isn't that Komi? What's she doing working at an Uchiha place?"

"That uniform, those stockings..."

"Slurp..." The white-haired pervert even wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

The Third Hokage and several high-ranking Konoha officials had entered the Uchiha Commercial Street and promptly dismissed the Uchiha clansmen who had come to greet them.

He intended to take the group for a casual stroll.

"???" They soon noticed the man's lewd behavior.

"Ahem..."

"Don't bother me, I'm busy~"

"Komi's really got some... I mean, she's really white..."

The Third Hokage attempted to divert the man's attention, but to his surprise, the man dared to ignore him.

He had no choice but to speak up again, "Excuse me, brother, what are you doing?"

"Looking at long legs, I say, old man, we're birds of a feather, no need to come over and say hello, right?"

The Third Hokage thought, Well, now.

This man was brazen enough to slander the current Hokage in broad daylight.

He raised his hand and delivered a sharp flick to the pervert's forehead.

"Ouch, old man, what are you...?" The pervert turned around quickly, wincing in pain. "Oh, it's you, Master~"

Clearly, he knew the Third Hokage.

"Little Jiraiya, are the long legs nice to look at?"

This white-haired pervert was none other than Jiraiya, the future author of the famous Make-Out Paradise series.

Even Sasuke, the last of the Uchiha, the inheritor of the Acting Skill, the nemesis of the Ōtsutsuki, known in the ninja world as Sasuke "Tailed Beast Number Two," had the honor of reading it.

"Master, I'm just gathering material! It's all the Uchiha's fault for buying the rights to my future books, I have to write them quickly."

The Third Hokage immediately said he didn't believe a word of it.

He had just been talking about how big and white something was, did he think he was naive?

Saying such things in front of so many Konoha officials, he felt he had truly lost all face.

"Don't you want to go see Orochimaru? Sigh, ever since he went to work as a consultant for the Uchiha, I haven't seen him..."

"And Tsunade... well, it's best if she never comes looking for me."

Jiraiya pouted, "Tch, who wants to see those two..."

"I just got back to the village from a mission and ran into such a big scene, of course I had to come here and take a look~"

In his mind, teammates were definitely not as good-looking as the young ladies.

"You little rascal... Huh?"

The Third Hokage had originally intended to give his unruly disciple a good scolding.

But seeing another disciple passing by made him abandon the plan. "Isn't that Orochimaru?"

After greeting the other officials, he dragged Jiraiya over to Orochimaru.

"Hello, Master. Isn't that Jiraiya?" Orochimaru said languidly after noticing them. "Why would Master drag you here personally?"

He clearly hadn't gotten enough sleep, and had dark circles under his eyes.

"Pfft... I say, Orochimaru, what's with the new look?"

"Never mind that, I'm going home to sleep." Orochimaru didn't seem to care much about Jiraiya's teasing.

The lovable Snake Sage, having been awakened by DJ Shin's music, wasn't interested in anything other than sleep.

He planned to go home and sleep, and also felt that the Uchiha were not conducive to sleep at all.

"Orochimaru, you've worked hard." The Third Hokage reached out and patted Orochimaru's shoulder in consolation.

"It's nothing, Master, I volunteered to work overtime. Shin's research is really fascinating."

"..." X2

The Third Hokage and Jiraiya were both speechless.

They both had the same question in their minds.

Namely, would anyone really volunteer to work overtime?

"The equipment in the research institute is too complete..." Orochimaru said, his tone gradually becoming excited, "That kind of thinking is really eye-opening."

He kept talking to them about many things.

Like the Big Bang theory, the theory of evolution, and so on.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds impressive." Jiraiya complained helplessly.

The adorable Orochimaru, seeing this, naturally pulled the underachieving student aside for a thorough explanation.

This, however, made the Third Hokage next to them extremely awkward.

He also wanted to ask questions, but after a long while, he finally asked with concern, "Orochimaru, weren't you going back to sleep?"

"Not sleeping. I just thought of a new idea. I need to go back to the lab and verify it."

The Third Hokage and Jiraiya, looking at Orochimaru, who had dark circles under his eyes but was unusually energetic, were both a mess in the wind.

Both of them wondered in their hearts, was it not that the Uchiha were inhuman, but that this person was trying to cultivate immortality?
