Gaining the Support of Hatake Sakumo and Others

At Uchiha Gōka's home, Tsunade wore a sweet expression as she happily chatted with him.

Suddenly, another series of knocks came from the door. Knock! Knock! Knock!

Tsunade was puzzled.

Hm? Why is someone knocking again?

Who could it be this time?

Could it be the Great Elder and the others coming back?

But the Great Elder had only just left.

Tsunade walked out of the living room, came to the courtyard gate, and opened it.

Seeing the crowd outside, Tsunade's expression changed.

"You all are..."

Tsunade was confused. Why had so many people suddenly come to Uchiha Gōka's home?

What had happened?

Besides outsiders like Might Duy, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Kato Dan, and Hatake Sakumo—

There were also many members of the Uchiha Clan following behind them.

Of course, most of those Uchiha Clan members had simply come to watch the excitement.

Suddenly, Jiraiya wore an extremely displeased expression and shouted, "There were rumors in the village that you and Uchiha Gōka were living together! I didn't believe them at first!"

"Tch! But now it seems Tsunade, you've really become Uchiha Gōka's woman!"

"And here I was, liking you and treating you so well!"

Called out like that by Jiraiya in front of so many people, Tsunade's face instantly flushed crimson.

Orochimaru gave Jiraiya a sinister chuckle and drove the knife in further. "Jiraiya, just give up."

"Tsunade already has a fiancé."

"Besides, Tsunade's fiancé is the Uchiha Clan head. Who knows how much stronger he is than you!"

After hearing Orochimaru's words, Jiraiya sulked.

Senju Chengshui did not seem particularly bothered by Tsunade living with Uchiha Gōka.

After all, Uchiha Gōka was now a genius-like figure, and he was also the Uchiha Clan head.

That status was worthy of Tsunade.

At that moment, a wave of commotion swept through the crowd.

Many people whispered among themselves, discussing how Tsunade was Uchiha Gōka's fiancée.

Tsunade's face reddened from everyone's looks. She quickly changed the subject and asked, "It's so late. Why have you all come here?"

Might Duy, standing at the front, said loudly, "We demand that Yehuo Snack Shop reopen."

"Yehuo Snack Shop has been closed for three days. We haven't been able to eat baijiu, Pissing Beef Balls, or Melancholy Soul-Numbing Rice."

Hatake Sakumo echoed, "We came here for only one reason: to ask Uchiha Gōka to reopen Yehuo Snack Shop."

Yūhi Shinku said, "That's right! We don't want such a fine snack shop in Konoha to stay closed."

"Tsunade, can you let us in so we can meet Karmic Fire?"

"Uh... there are too many of you!"

Tsunade looked at the dark mass of people outside. How could she possibly let all of them into Karmic Fire's home?

Even if she did, his house could not hold them all.

The crowd immediately realized that they needed to choose several representatives.

Might Duy, Hatake Sakumo, Yūhi Shinku, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and several others volunteered to step forward and followed Tsunade into the courtyard.

Everyone else waited outside.

Inside the living room, Uchiha Gōka, Tsunade, Might Duy, Hatake Sakumo, and the others sat facing each other.

Might Duy and Hatake Sakumo explained why they had come.

After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Gōka said, "Sigh. I want Yehuo Snack Shop to continue operating as well."

"But I am now the Uchiha Clan head."

"A troublesome problem has arisen within the clan."

"The Uchiha Clan currently lives in a remote area on the outskirts of the village—near the prison."

"However, the clan members strongly demand that the Uchiha Clan's residential area be moved to the city center."

"I've been worrying over this matter... How could I still have the energy to run Yehuo Snack Shop?"

After hearing Uchiha Gōka's words, Might Duy and the others were put in a difficult position.

"If Karmic Fire serves as the Uchiha Clan head, he won't have time to run Yehuo Snack Shop."

"Oh no! What are we supposed to do?"

For a moment, Might Duy and the others did not know what to do.

At that moment, Orochimaru let out a hissing laugh. "Clan Head Karmic Fire, every problem has a solution."

"I wonder what method you have in mind to keep Yehuo Snack Shop open?"

After a brief moment of thought, Uchiha Gōka said, "As long as you help me resolve the issue of relocating the Uchiha Clan's residential area—"

"I will continue operating Yehuo Snack Shop."

Hatake Sakumo asked doubtfully, "Hm? Can we help Clan Head Karmic Fire resolve the issue of relocating the Uchiha Clan's residential area?"

Might Duy said, "Tell us. What do you need us to do?"

Uchiha Gōka smiled faintly. "The day after tomorrow is Konoha's regular meeting."

"At that time, all you need to do is support my proposal—to relocate the Uchiha Clan to the central area of the village."

"Then I will immediately reopen Yehuo Snack Shop."

After hearing Uchiha Gōka's words, Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo, Yūhi Shinku, and the others fell into thought.

Orochimaru secretly pondered, The Uchiha Clan's current residential area truly is too remote. This request isn't excessive.

Hatake Sakumo frowned as he considered it.

"During the First Hokage Hashirama's era, the Uchiha Clan lived in the village's core area."

"During the Second Hokage Tobirama's era, the Uchiha Clan was moved from the village center to the remote outskirts beside the prison."

"Perhaps Lord Tobirama wanted the Uchiha Clan to maintain security around the prison and contribute to the village."

"Now, the village prison's security is stable."

"There would be nothing inappropriate about moving the Uchiha Clan back to its original location."

Yūhi Shinku said, "The Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan were originally both great clans of Konoha, living in the central area of the village."

"Returning to their original place now doesn't seem to pose any problem."

Jiraiya, meanwhile, stared resentfully at Tsunade's curvaceous figure, his face full of jealousy as he complained inwardly, Why isn't the one living with Tsunade me?!

Might Duy did not overthink it. With a youthful smile and a mouthful of gleaming white teeth, he said without hesitation, "Karmic Fire! No problem."

"As long as you let me eat Pissing Beef Balls again, I will fully support you at Konoha's regular meeting the day after tomorrow!"

Spurred on by Might Duy—

Orochimaru, Yūhi Shinku, and Hatake Sakumo all agreed.

Jiraiya, focused only on Tsunade's curvaceous figure, agreed as well.

The group soon reached an agreement.

At Konoha's regular meeting the day after tomorrow, everyone would support Uchiha Gōka's proposal to relocate the Uchiha Clan's residence to the village center.

They also agreed to tell only jonin and a few important figures, keeping it secret from everyone else.

Uchiha Gōka promised them that once the issue of relocating the Uchiha Clan's residence was resolved, he would immediately reopen Yehuo Snack Shop.

After chatting for a while longer—

The five men left Uchiha Gōka's home.

For the sake of secrecy, the five only conveyed the consensus they had reached with Uchiha Gōka to several jonin and important figures.

As for the crowd gathered at the entrance, they merely said that Yehuo Snack Shop would resume normal business in two days.

At Uchiha Gōka's home—

Tsunade was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

In the living room, Uchiha Gōka sat comfortably on the sofa.

After his discussion with the five men just now—

Uchiha Gōka had gained some confidence in resolving the issue of relocating the Uchiha Clan's residence.

The attendees of Konoha's regular meetings mainly consisted of Konoha's upper ranks, Konoha jonin, and several prominent figures.

Occasionally, even the daimyo of the Land of Fire would attend in person.

With the support of Might Duy, Hatake Sakumo, Yūhi Shinku, and the others, there was a high chance that the issue of the Uchiha Clan's residential territory could be resolved.

Still, so many people had gathered today and come knocking at his door together to find Uchiha Gōka.

It truly took Uchiha Gōka by surprise.

He had never expected Yehuo Snack Shop's closure to make these people so eager to demand that he reopen it.

Uchiha Gōka could not help but sigh inwardly.

Stephen Chow's Pissing Beef Balls and Melancholy Soul-Numbing Rice from Food God in my previous life, along with baijiu, actually hold such tremendous appeal in the world of Naruto.

No wonder Stephen Chow was able to make a comeback with Pissing Beef Balls in Food God.

Late at night, after Uchiha Gōka and Tsunade finished dinner, they went to sleep...
