20 Aino's keen taste

Aino and her family came to the Cafe to see, she saw the little sign and let out a breath of relief before ordering a coffee. Tenshi made her and her husband coffee, making a hot chocolate for the little girl.

Aino tasted the coffee before frowning. She got up and marched to Tenshi, saying "These pastries don't fit! You have Mochi Dango with a bitter flavor like this. Are you trying to kill me?!" Tenshi was startled and asked for advice, "What do you recommend?" Aino looked serious, rubbing her chin, "The Biscuits are fine, the cake is not a bad choice, but the mochi dango and doughnuts are ridiculous! My palate is crying!"

Tenshi didn't know what to say so he just nodded. Aino continued, "These doughnuts you picked are glazed with chocolate sauce and covered in sugar, it will make the coffee too sweet after dipping once! The best kind of these is just regular doughnuts without any toppings. The Cake would be better if it was lemon or just plain instead of cherry. The biscuits are good but you should've chosen harder ones!"

She waved her fists, Tenshi thought she was going to smash his cafe, but she continued "If I dip a biscuit in my coffee and it breaks apart, falling inside, it's ruined! This won't do! No way! Tomorrow, I'll prepare your order! Jeez! Some people!" as she went back to her seat, drinking angrily.

Tenshi was speechless and the man just smiled apologetically. Tenshi smiled gently, "Thank you, Aino-san." Aino glared at him while sipping, not saying anything. Tenshi smiled to himself.

He was jealous.

She was a really great wife…

He sighed to himself and cleaned his tools.

The end of the day

Tenshi held the pastries, seeing Naruto squatting by the side of the door, counting with his fingers and mumbling to himself. Tenshi's eyes turned under his eye lids, "Oh, Fox boy. There you are." Naruto looked up and grinned, "Uncle Lady! How ya been?!"

Tenshi pursed his lips and tossed him the box full of unsold pastries, replying "Not good. My garbage boy has been missing!" Naruto looked troubled and caught the box, "Well… I'm busy! Believe it!" Tenshi waved his hands, "I believe it…"

Before smiling gently, "I need you to throw out those fresh, baked this morning, unsold pastries." Naruto froze and opened the box to see a bunch of food inside, he closed it and looked shifty, "Heh… Sure… No problem, boss… Heh…" before running to the garbage.

Tenshi smiled happily and locked the door behind him, walking home. He saw Naruto hopping away with the box, giggling to himself. Tenshi's smile was gentle as he turned back to the road, humming to himself as he continued walking.

He looked up and said "Anbu-chan, we open early tomorrow, don't be late like today, okay?" a woman with an animal mask nearly tripped as she followed him. She wanted to complain, it was clearly his fault! Who woke up so early!?

She needed her beauty sleep!

She heard reports of 'Anbu' disappearing 5 years ago, but they weren't any Anbu that she knew… So she figured it was probably someone impersonating Anbu, since then Hokage tasked her to pay attention to Tenshi and his cafe without engaging him. So they had been watching him for 5 years…

But they never found anything.

He went home, went on dates, went to work, that's it.

Just a normal person!

Apparently, this coffee thing could purify chakra or something… She didn't get it but whatever, easy job for money. She wasn't going to complain. Since one Anbu accidentally triggered a security measure and alerted the area, they haven't approached Tenshi's home.

They went in when he wasn't home, but didn't find anything. It was empty, only normal things like pictures, stoves, etc.

Actually, all the Anbu were confused. Why were they even watching this guy again? Some even sighed that the Hokage was getting old…

Danzo frowned as his ROOT ninja were killed by Kakashi, who didn't recognize them. Of course he didn't! Only Root members knew about the Root! If a secret organization was known by everyone then what was the point of the word secret?

It was useless!

Kakashi brought the 4 Root Ninja to Hiruzen, saying that they impersonated Anbu and attacked a civilian. Hiruzen was angry! That bastard Danzo wanted to monopolize this coffee medicine! He had a stern talking to with Danzo before saying that they would share it…

For the village, of course.

But they just needed to get it.

They had stolen some beans before and ate them but nothing happened.

None of them knew that they simply had to walk in and buy some…

Not to mention, they were really making a mountain out of a mole hill! The Coffee wasn't so magical! The first time was a big cleanse, but after that it wasn't so crazy, only made you healthier because you're expelling waste!

If they ate Chakra filled Prunes, it would have the same effect! Probably even better!

If Hiruzen thought that this coffee substance would make him as strong as the Sage of Six Paths, he was a bit delusional!

This was the reason Tenshi was so confused. It was just coffee! He had a bunch everyday and nothing happened to him! Could it be he was god and didn't know it?? It was the equivalent to everyone freaking out over a snail moving slightly faster than normal.

This is why the Uchiha weren't all Kage level after drinking coffee for 5 years. It wasn't immortal medicine! After the first time, the effect decreased… After the third time, the effect was so miniscule, you wouldn't even notice it.

As for thinking it was poison… Tenshi set up a cafe, in the middle of the village, something that wasn't tea, drank it himself, walked on the streets in broad daylight… If he was selling poison, he must be absolutely retarded.

Yes, the most effective way to poison people… Drink it yourself!

A few days later

Tenshi was making coffee for his customers, humming to himself. The female Anbu ninja was reading at a table with a coffee by her side. There were a few customers inside, but nothing like before when it was full to the brim with Uchiha.

Then, a new customer walked in!

The Third Hokage himself!
