Konoha: Who's the good guy?

The boxes of items that Kushina had packed were quickly moved back using Yamanaka Kei's Flying Thunder God Technique.

After the protective barrier in the Senju mansion was reopened.

Just as they had arrived, the two walked hand in hand toward the commercial street.

As they walked, Kei Yamanaka told Kushina about his previously conceived breakfast shop plan.

Unsurprisingly, they received strong support from the other party.

She also claimed that of the dozen or so shops left to her by her grandmother Mito, several tenants were not planning to renew their leases due to the recent instability in the ninja world, so they could be used to open breakfast shops.

Naturally, the scenery in the mountains wouldn't refuse Kushina's kind offer.

In general, when opening a store in cooperation with the family, the profit distribution will be planned in advance.

We can just give Kushina a little more money later.

However, in order to avoid some dishes from not being suitable for the local environment in the Naruto world.

We still need to find someone to try it out beforehand.

"We're hosting friends at our home for lunch the day after tomorrow to try the food from our new restaurant. Anyone you'd like to invite?"

After careful consideration, Shan Zhongjing set the date for the day after tomorrow.

Although his memory palace contained many breakfast recipes, most of them were from various self-media platforms.

Not many people have actual hands-on experience in making them.

Prepare and find materials in advance, plus experiments and adjustments after actual operation.

It will take at least a day.

Moreover, he has to go to the files room tomorrow morning to select the two ninjutsu that the Third Hokage promised.

If I don't want to rush, I can only schedule it for the day after tomorrow.

"Hmm... You'll definitely invite Inoichi and the others, and Jasmine, Yoshino, and Choon should be coming too? Are you inviting Minato? I'd also like to see Honoka, hehe~ Actually, I was thinking of inviting Mikoto too, but I was afraid that everyone would be in pairs and she wouldn't be happy..."

"With Tsunade, this older single woman, around, what's there to be afraid of?"

"That's true! Hehe~ Tsunade-neechan has done a great job!"

"You actually said Tsunade is like a member of Paw Patrol? Don't single people have any rights?"

"No, that's not true~"

Kushina lightly punched Yamanaka Kei twice, looking embarrassed.

When she was at the Ninja Academy, she heard Yamanaka Kei tell the story of Paw Patrol's great achievements, and she used to dream of raising a ninja dog.

She just said it offhand; she didn't mean to mock Tsunade.

"Oh? By the way, should we call your three disciples? They really miss you."

"Damn! How could I have forgotten about such useful free labor!"

"??? Such obedient and well-behaved disciples, and all you can think of is making them do chores?"

"Good man, you must have done many good deeds in your past life, striking the wooden fish with incredible skill. Isn't it only right that your disciple behaves well?"

Shan Zhongjing raised an eyebrow smugly.

Although he was playing an electronic wooden fish, does that mean all his disciples are little angels?

Compared to Orochimaru, Obito, Nagato, and others who are skilled at performing the traditional ninja art of "killing ninjas."

His disciples were all there to repay his kindness.

It was really wrong of him to have forgotten about the three little ones.

In the future, he will definitely think of them first when it comes to things that "enhance the relationship between master and disciple".

The three little ones: ? ? ?

Kushina was amused by Yamanaka Kei's smug expression.

Meanwhile, the scenery in the mountains had already begun to consider the next steps.

After all, there are quite a few people to entertain the day after tomorrow, including the big eater Akimichi Choza and his wife.

A group of people came here with great enthusiasm to enjoy the food; we can't let them go home hungry!

He had too many different kinds of breakfast ideas in his head.

Even if they only select a portion of the production, he and Kushina alone would definitely be too busy.

You can't possibly use Shadow Clone Technique or Mind Transfer Puppet Technique just to cook a meal!

Wouldn't that kill people with exhaustion?

so......

Matt Kai is strong and has great stamina, so he'd definitely be a master at kneading dough.

Genma Shiranui was good at using ninja tools, so he must be quite skilled with kitchen knives and rolling pins as well.

Xi Ri Hong is so skillful; it would be a shame if she didn't use her little hands to make steamed buns!

As evening approached, many shops on the commercial street were already preparing to close.

Yamanaka Kei took Kushina directly to Sanmiju.

This Sanweiju restaurant was something he started when he was a fourth-year student at the Ninja Academy, along with Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, and Nara Shikaku.

Yamanaka Inoichi paid for the shop rental, Akimichi Choza used his family connections to provide various ingredients, and Nara Shikaku was responsible for sourcing spices and high-end venison that were extremely rare in the ninja world.

The three of them together account for 60% of the profits, while Yamanaka Kei, who provides the formula and is responsible for operation and management, accounts for 40% of the profits.

In the years immediately following his graduation from the Ninja Academy, Yamanaka Kei was busy with missions.

He then hired Yoshino, a senior student who was one year ahead of him, to take care of the place.

Many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Yoshino-nee, could you help me prepare some things? Just deliver them to my house before noon tomorrow."

Yamanaka Kei lifted the curtain of Sanmiju and saw Nara Yoshino, dressed in a scarlet cheongsam and with exquisite makeup, standing in front of the cashier. He immediately handed her the order form he had written.

Perhaps it's because Shikamaru hasn't been born yet, or perhaps it's due to her years of work experience.

Although Yoshino Nara is still married to Shikaku, her clothes and makeup no longer resemble the image of a virtuous housewife from the original story. She appears more refined and capable.

"High-gluten flour, sweet potato flour, rice flour, yeast..."

Yoshino Nara glanced at the list and nodded slightly.

"Then we'll leave to Yoshino-nee. We'll be going now."

"Go away, go and enjoy your date with Kushina, don't bother me while I'm doing my business."

Yoshino Nara waved her hand impatiently.

Seeing that Yamanaka Kei had pulled Kushina, who was peeking out from outside the door, away, he looked at the list in his hand again thoughtfully.

"Phew, Jing, why are you running so fast?"

Kushina was pulled along for a short distance, blinking her big eyes with a puzzled expression.

"Not only does Lu Jiu hate trouble, but I do too!"

"what?"

"Yoshino is very smart, believe it or not. Just from that list, she can guess a lot of things?"

"What's the problem?"

Kushina had a completely bewildered expression on her face.

"Yoshino-nee has said a long time ago that she wanted to expand her business. If she knew she was going to open a breakfast shop, what do you think her reaction would be?"

"Hmm... you want to run a business?"

You guessed right.

"What's the trouble?"

"Of course, she has to convince Shikaku herself. I don't want Shikaku to complain about me; that guy doesn't dare argue with Yoshino-nee..."

Yamanaka Kei sighed and explained the situation of Shikaku and Yoshino.

Since the two got married last year, Lu Jiu has complained a lot about Sanweiju, a restaurant that makes a fortune every day.

Just because she was the wife of the head of the Nara clan.

Yoshino Nara surprisingly refused to help him manage the Nara clan's medicinal herb and livestock industries.

She leaves early and returns late every day, focusing solely on Sanweiju, claiming that this is her true career.

What can be done about the scenery in the mountains?

He just wanted to replenish his savings, what did he do wrong?

If a breakfast shop were to open at this time...

Nara Yoshino will continue to be in charge of management. Just imagine how sour Nara Shikaku's face will be!

"Does Shikaku-nii really have no status in the family?"

"..."

Kushina's words left Yamanaka Kei with no way to respond.

He can speak.

Has Nara Shikaku's status in the family become even lower than in the original work due to his actions?

Well, all I can say is that Yoshino Nara truly lives up to her reputation as a woman who has managed to subdue two generations of Konoha's strategists.

Horror!
