The Hokage's office was quiet.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado frowned, deep in thought.
Cremation shop?
What was that?
The ninja world did have coffins!
There was also the concept of cremation.
However, for a while, the two elders couldn't connect the dots.
Based on their understanding of the Uchiha, they should be opening a weapon shop.
Opening a tea house or a sake shop would also make sense.
Cremation...
A genius of the Uchiha, opening this kind of thing, what kind of joke was this?
Seeing the two elders lost in thought, the Anbu seemed to feel sorry for them and closed his eyes.
"Elders, no need to think too much, it's exactly the cremation shop you're imagining."
Homura Mitokado said in a daze, "It's really that kind of cremation?"
"Yes!"
The two elders looked at each other.
"This evil Uchiha, what is he up to again?"
"How would I know? We shouldn't have put Danzo in confinement. Dealing with the Uchiha should be Danzo's job, he's the best at it."
"Makes sense!"
After a brief silence, the two of them actually looked at the Anbu: "What do you think?"
I'm kneeling and thinking! The Anbu thought to himself.
What the hell does my opinion matter, will you even listen?
"I think the Uchiha must have some kind of trick up their sleeve..."
Homura Mitokado said displeasedly, "Do you need to tell us that?"
The Anbu fell silent.
Then what do you want me to say?
Koharu Utatane suddenly said, "Do you think the Uchiha have developed some kind of forbidden jutsu? Just like..."
The two almost simultaneously thought of their teacher.
Back then, their teacher also used corpses to develop a very terrifying forbidden jutsu.
That jutsu, if not handled well, could destroy the entire ninja world, to the extent that even their teacher was afraid of it and personally sealed it away.
Could it be!
This evil Uchiha brat...
A genuine fear appeared on both of their faces at the same time.
If the Uchiha possessed such a forbidden jutsu, it would truly be a disaster for the ninja world.
Homura Mitokado's breathing quickened, and he ordered, "Mobilize all available Anbu, monitor Uchiha Itsuki with all your might, do you hear me?"
"Yes!"
"Koharu, let's go find Hiruzen and Danzo. Konoha is at its most dangerous moment. We need to unite all our forces and stop them from fighting."
"Alright!"
"E-Elders!"
The Anbu suddenly spoke, stopping Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.
"Anything else?"
"It might be nothing, just a small matter." The Anbu cautiously said, "Uchiha Itsuki put up a promotional message for his shop."
"A promotional message?"
Koharu Utatane's voice was stern, "Remember, there are no small matters when it comes to the Uchiha, understand?"
"Yes!"
"Tell us, what's the message? I want to analyze it carefully and see what secrets it holds."
The Anbu handed over a prepared piece of paper.
[Uchiha Cremation Shop, Grand Opening!]
Three days of free gifts, cremate one, get one free.
If you have friends who have lived long enough, friends who are in the way, please book in advance for them.
The furnace is preheated, first come, first served.
We guarantee to provide a service that will melt your heart, turning you into wisps of smoke with a comforting smile, soaring into the blue sky, over towering mountains, across the azure sea, until the end of the world.
P.S.: If I can't enlighten you, I'll cremate you.
From the Uchiha's most sincere blessings, you deserve it!
"..."
Koharu Utatane narrowed her eyes.
There was no mistake.
This was Uchiha Itsuki's style!
Besides him, no one in the entire ninja world could do something like this.
Homura Mitokado sighed, "Times have changed, I feel old."
Koharu Utatane looked at him, speechless.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Until Hiruzen Sarutobi walked back into the office angrily, seeing the two standing there dumbfounded and the Anbu kneeling on one knee, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
He looked suspicious and said, "What's wrong with you?"
...
"A proper Uchiha should be doing this!"
Itsuki walked around and around in the cremation shop, very satisfied with his shop. Finally, he lay down on the cabinet where the bodies were placed and let out a sigh.
His mind slowly emptied, and his expression gradually became calm.
This was a shop of over a hundred square meters.
Besides the corridor in the middle, one side was for cabinets to store bodies, and the other side was for coffins.
Walking in the middle, it felt refreshing!
Kurenai Yuhi looked at him speechlessly and said, "What are you doing? Why this line of work? You're a genius of the Uchiha, someone even Danzo can't do anything about."
"This line of work makes money!" Itsuki opened his mouth with a stiff expression, "Without money, how can I marry you?"
"You'll be short of money?"
Kurenai chuckled and said, "Besides, even if you were short of money, so what? I'm not lacking either, I'll give you as much money as you want."
Back then, Kurenai Yuhi was powerful and held a high position, and she only had this precious daughter, so naturally, she wanted to give her everything good.
Besides a house and a few prosperous shops, there was also a large sum of money to ensure Kurenai would be well-off for life.
The cremation shop Itsuki opened was actually using Kurenai's shop.
As a kunoichi, Kurenai didn't have many expenses, and her usual missions were enough to support herself.
She barely touched the tens of millions of ryo her father left her.
Itsuki said lazily, "There's no reason to spend a woman's money, that's being a kept man."
Kurenai shook her head and said, "By the way, Itsuki, when can you take off the bandages on your face?"
"Soon, in the next couple of days!"
Itsuki's hand touched his eyes.
He could feel that Shisui's power had already merged with his own.
His transformation was about to end.
What kind of dojutsu would it be?
The fusion of Shisui's dojutsu and his own must be incredibly powerful.
Itsuki was looking forward to it.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A knock on the door sounded.
"Welcome!"
Itsuki immediately jumped up, walked forward with a smile, looked at the person, and said, "Shisui, Itachi? Why are you here? Did you come to support my shop opening?"
"This..."
Shisui and Itachi were choked speechless.
Support?
How could they support this kind of thing you opened?
Buy a coffin and take it home?
Or cremate themselves?
For the former, Itachi estimated that if he carried a coffin home, his parents would break his legs.
For the latter...
Damn it, I'd be dead, so I wouldn't care about that much.
"Come, come, come!" Itsuki said enthusiastically, "Let me introduce you two, our shop has five levels of packages: ordinary, Genin, Chunin, Jonin, and Hokage."
Hearing this, not to mention Itachi and Shisui, even Kurenai's inner thoughts were like a machine gun, constantly spewing out.
There was even a Hokage level?
What were you trying to do?
Cremate the Hokage?
"Don't look at me like that!" Itsuki raised a finger and waved it repeatedly, "Every ninja in Konoha wants to be Hokage, but there's only one Hokage, which means ninety-nine percent of people don't have the chance."
"If you don't have the fate to be Hokage while alive, why not experience it after death?"
"There's no such reason in the world."
"Don't you agree?"
