Booming Business Sparks Danzo's Dissatisfaction

Previously, Yehuo Snack Shop had only Karmic Fire and Tsunade.

Even working nonstop all day, they could only supply tiny amounts of baijiu, Pissing Beef Balls, and Melancholy Soul-Numbing Rice.

The snacks produced by Yehuo Snack Shop were pitifully scarce.

For Konoha Village, they were not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

The villagers of Konoha Village could only feel helpless about it.

But today!

With the Uchiha Clan's full support, four new Uchiha Snack Shops opened.

As snack production surged.

Baijiu and Pissing Beef Balls—delicious to eat and fun to drink—swept through all of Konoha Village.

These snacks suddenly soared in popularity throughout Konoha Village.

From the streets to the alleys, everyone in Konoha Village was eagerly discussing baijiu, Pissing Beef Balls, and Melancholy Soul-Numbing Rice.

More terrifyingly.

As the popularity of baijiu, Pissing Beef Balls, and Melancholy Soul-Numbing Rice skyrocketed.

The Uchiha Clan, once shunned and ignored, gradually began to gain prestige within Konoha Village as well.

The villagers' favorable impression of the Uchiha Clan rose without them even realizing it.

The Third Hokage's office.

On the Hokage's desk sat a bottle of 38-proof aged liquor and a bowl of Pissing Beef Balls.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, took a few sips of the aged liquor and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Then, the Third Hokage put an entire Pissing Beef Ball into his mouth...

At that moment, Danzo Shimura glared with his dead-fish eyes, his face full of resentment.

"Sarutobi, we can't let the Uchiha Clan continue..."

Before he could finish speaking.

The Pissing Beef Ball in the Third Hokage's mouth suddenly spurted out a huge spray of urine...

It splashed directly across Danzo's face as he was about to speak.

Danzo Shimura's face was covered in juice. With a blank, stunned expression, he stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Sarutobi!"

"I'm talking to you!"

"And you actually..."

A flicker of anger appeared on Danzo Shimura's face.

Looking at Danzo's bedraggled state, the Third Hokage said somewhat apologetically.

"Oh... sorry, Danzo!"

"I only wanted to taste this Pissing Beef Ball."

"I didn't expect... this beef ball really could piss."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up another Pissing Beef Ball and examined it carefully.

"So this is the Pissing Beef Ball that has taken Konoha Village by storm?"

"Oh my! I bit into the whole thing just now... I've never experienced anything so fresh and unconventional."

"The savory richness of beef, the sweetness of Pissing Shrimp..."

"Oh... mixed together, it's even more poetic and picturesque than my first love."

"Good balls! Good balls!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi could not stop clicking his tongue in wonder.

Koharu Utatane stared blankly at the Third Hokage.

"Sarutobi, are you all right?!"

"One ball actually got you into this state."

Influenced by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado each picked up a ball and stuffed it into their mouths...

Splash!

The moment the balls entered their mouths, all three were stunned!

They marveled at the "savory beef and sweet Pissing Shrimp" inside the Pissing Beef Balls.

All three clicked their tongues in amazement.

"That brat Uchiha Gōka can actually make snacks this good!"

"No wonder he managed to cause such a huge stir in Konoha Village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the three shocked faces.

"It's not just Pissing Beef Balls."

"The bottle of 38-proof aged liquor on my desk is also quite suitable for elderly people."

"This wine can get you drunk, but it is also incredibly charming."

"And I heard that Yehuo Snack Shop has a dish called Melancholy Soul-Numbing Rice."

"Only Uchiha Gōka can make it."

"One bite will make you unable to stop yourself from feeling sorrowful and shedding soul-stirring tears."

"Oh! Even though we haven't tried it, it already sounds miraculous."

Suddenly, Danzo Shimura glared with his dead-fish eyes and said darkly.

"Enough!!!"

"Sarutobi, we can't allow the Uchiha Clan to keep promoting baijiu and Pissing Beef Balls."

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, frowned upon hearing this.

"Oh? Why shouldn't we let the Uchiha Clan continue selling baijiu and Pissing Beef Balls?"

Danzo Shimura pulled a long face and said gloomily.

"According to the information I received."

"As baijiu and Pissing Beef Balls have become popular in Konoha, the Uchiha Clan's popularity within the village has also been rising."

"More terrifyingly, the Uchiha Clan's prestige in the village seems to be improving as well."

"This outcome goes against the policies left behind by the Second Hokage!"

After hearing Danzo Shimura's words.

The Third Hokage, who had been immersed in the food, immediately grew grave and let out a slight sigh.

"Oh... I see."

"But, Danzo, the Uchiha Clan is running snack shops through legitimate business. What reason do we have to stop them?"

Danzo Shimura glared with his dead-fish eyes.

"Uh... well..."

No matter how hard he thought, Danzo could not come up with a good excuse.

At that moment, Koharu Utatane stepped forward.

"Danzo, aren't you being a little too sensitive?"

"It is only the first day the Uchiha Snack Shops have been open."

"I think we should observe them for a while first."

Homura Mitokado also nodded lightly in agreement.

After pondering for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

"Mm... that makes sense."

"The Uchiha Snack Shops provide wonderful food for Konoha Village."

"There is no reason to obstruct them."

"Danzo, as for what you said about the Uchiha Clan's popularity and prestige in the village improving..."

"Let's observe them for a while before discussing it again."

Danzo's face twisted. His gaze was gloomy, and he held his frustration inside without saying a word.

That evening, the four Uchiha Snack Shops had long since closed.

Nanga Shrine.

The Uchiha Clan held a meeting for all clan members there.

Uchiha Gōka, Tsunade, the Great Elder, Yashiro, and the others stood at the center of the stage.

In a corner of the stage.

Uchiha Setsuna was leading several young clan members in calculating the day's profits.

That day, the four Uchiha Snack Shops had sold baijiu and Pissing Beef Balls throughout Konoha.

Many clan members had participated.

Therefore, everyone was deeply concerned about the day's earnings.

A moment later.

A crafty smile flashed across Uchiha Setsuna's sinister face.

He hurried over to Clan Head Karmic Fire and reported quietly.

"Clan Head, today's revenue has been calculated."

Uchiha Gōka did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Announce it directly!"

Every Uchiha clan member below pricked up their ears and listened intently...

The four Uchiha Snack Shops had been packed that day, with an extraordinary flood of customers.

The clan members all wanted to know exactly how much money they had made.

Standing on the stage, Uchiha Setsuna curled his lips into a smirk and announced.

"Today, our four Uchiha Snack Shops made a net profit of 5,000 ryo."

"5,000 ryo in net profit is equivalent to the total income our entire clan used to earn through roughly half a year of hard work."

As soon as the words fell.

Whoosh!

Every Uchiha clan member below was stunned!
