"Of course, Torifu-sama's concern is reasonable. In that case..."
Yan looked at Akimichi Torifu with a half-smile, then glanced at the other members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio:
"Since Torifu-sama is so concerned about the Shimura and Sarutobi families, why don't you give them your Ino-Shika-Cho trio's share?
That way, I won't be in a difficult position, and Torifu-sama will have done a good deed."
"???"
Akimichi Torifu was dumbfounded.
I meant to consider them, not to give them our Ino-Shika-Cho trio's share.
Are you deliberately misinterpreting my words?
Hearing this, Akimichi Torifu couldn't stay calm.
The other members of the Ino-Shika-Cho families widened their eyes in surprise!
Nara even gave Akimichi a dirty look.
"If you can't speak properly, just shut up!
Look at the nonsense you're saying, giving your family's cake to others. How could you even think of that?"
In the barbecue restaurant, many family members were staring in shock at Akimichi's darkened face.
"Ahem, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
Akimichi Torifu coughed and tried to explain:
"I was just saying to consider, consider, not to give away. Besides, this kind of thing can't be given away."
Ha!
As soon as they heard their family's cake might be given away, it turned into considering, huh?
Why didn't you say that earlier?
Yan stared at Akimichi with a blank face and asked:
"So what does Lord Akimichi mean?
Ino-Shika-Cho's cake can't be given to others, so you want other families' cakes?
Uchiha? Hyuga?
Or other families?"
"Why don't we make it clear first."
"....."
Akimichi Torifu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that everyone was staring at him with unfriendly eyes.
Good job, Uchiha Yan, I've already backed down, and you're still stirring things up!!!
Wasn't it just a few words for Sarutobi and the others?
Is it necessary?
Yan directly showed Akimichi Torifu that it was necessary!
"Since Akimichi Torifu is so generous, why not give away the Akimichi family's share?"
The first one to be unhappy was Uchiha Fugaku.
In the past, he wouldn't have dared to confront Akimichi Torifu, the big fat guy.
But now it's different. As long as Uchiha doesn't mess up, Tsunade won't target them.
With everyone on equal footing, why should I be afraid of you?
Although Fugaku was unhappy, he spoke with restraint, only targeting the Akimichi family and not involving the entire Ino-Shika-Cho.
Hiashi looked at Yan's blank face and then at Fugaku's unhappy face, and added:
"I think it's possible. Forgetting some families is indeed inappropriate, but it's best if Akimichi Torifu can consider it."
"Ah, yes, yes!!!"
Seeing this, other family members quickly nodded in agreement. It didn't concern them anyway, so they enjoyed the drama.
Even if things got heated, it wouldn't affect them, as Yan and Uchiha, Hyuga were in front.
In short, asking them to give their cake to others was impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Since Akimichi Torifu is so sympathetic to Shimura and Sarutobi families, let your family make the sacrifice.
Everyone benefits, that's the best way.
Damn it!!!
At this moment, Akimichi Torifu felt like flipping the table and cursing, but he didn't dare.
Because flipping the table would offend all the families present, and even the other two members of Ino-Shika-Cho would blame him.
Why did you bring up Shimura and Sarutobi?
If you had benefits, just keep them to yourself, why speak out?
Now look what happened.
You gave away your benefits.
Even if the higher-ups of Ino-Shika-Cho don't say anything, the people below will be unhappy and will definitely speak ill of Akimichi in secret.
Make a choice, if you don't, your Akimichi family will be out, and even Ino-Shika-Cho might be out.
Yan gave Akimichi Torifu a glance.
Either you choose your position, or I'll make you leave.
Anyway, there are plenty of ninja families in Konohagakure, we don't need you Ino-Shika-Cho.
Without you, things will still get done!
At worst, we'll bring in some well-known merchants from the village. These people are eager to wave their money and seek cooperation.
"Yan, Torifu didn't mean it that way. He just mentioned it casually. The Ino-Shika-Cho families also care a lot about the village's development.
How can such a grand event be without us?"
Nara Shikaku, who couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and took over the conversation. He regretted not speaking up earlier.
He should have known better than to bring this fat guy along.
"Cough, cough!!"
Akimichi Torifu patted his big belly and said:
"Oh dear, I haven't eaten anything since this morning. I'm a bit hungry. You guys continue, I'll go get something to eat."
Helping the Shimura and Sarutobi families get benefits, or helping his own family get benefits, Akimichi Torifu chose the latter in the end.
If he couldn't even take care of himself, how could he have the time to care about others?
He decided to take care of his own family first.
As for the Sarutobi and Shimura families, he didn't care about them.
Akimichi Torifu left, which was a sign of giving in.
Yan didn't stop there and said directly:
"In the past, some people and some families did things to Uchiha and me that I remember well.
I'm a petty person. If someone treats me badly, I remember it.
I don't mind being called petty and vengeful.
Because that's who I am."
"Are the Ino-Shika-Cho families sure they won't regret this?"
Don't stand by my side today and change your stance tomorrow. I, Uchiha Yan, won't be polite to you.
"We won't regret it."
Nara Shikaku responded promptly.
In the past and now, the Ino-Shika-Cho families have never been staunch supporters of the Shimura and Sarutobi families.
They have always supported the Hokage!
Whoever is the Hokage, they support them. Nara Shikaku didn't want the Ino-Shika-Cho families to be completely excluded because of the Third Hokage.
Losing a delicious cake is one thing, but facing Yan's targeting in the future is another.
It's no surprise that Yan will soon become the new assistant to the Hokage of Konohagakure. This position is not comparable to that of a Hokage advisor.
Once Yan takes the position, whoever he targets will be in trouble.
Even if he doesn't do it openly, just causing some trouble behind the scenes will be enough to make you suffer.
Now, when the Shimura family hears the words Uchiha or Police Department, they run away in fear.
Even the Sarutobi family members take a detour. Nara Shikaku didn't want to see the Ino-Shika-Cho families get involved.
"Very well, let's continue."
With the Ino-Shika-Cho families on his side, Yan nodded in satisfaction and continued:
"Thank you all for your support. This time, when I went to Kumogakure Village to participate in the joint Jonin exam, although the exam wasn't great, I observed that the commercial atmosphere in Kumogakure Village is indeed better than our village.
So, after discussing with Hokage-sama, we decided to expand the commercial area."
"Although our village can't compare to Kumogakure Village in terms of commercial channels and local specialties, we have advantages that Kumogakure Village doesn't have."
