34 Is This Big Enough!?

"IT'S NOT GOOD, LORD THIRD!!"

A loud shout came to Hiruzen's ear as he sat in the Hokage office.

"What seems to be the matter?" Hiruzen puzzledly asked the Ninja that had come in a hurry. He seems to be panicking and out of breath.

"I-It's the restaurant that you told me to keep an eye on, Lord Third!" The ninja's whole body perspired after thinking about what was currently going on. He had never ever seen such an event going on before in his life.

"Calm down and explain clearly, Ebisu!" Hiruzen ordered. After he had stopped Ebisu from watching over his grandson Konohamaru, he ordered the Tokubetsu Jonin Ebisu to keep tabs on Yasui's restaurant and civilian technology research facility.

He would get reports ever so often, and there was nothing wrong with the development. It's just that he had to admit that the child is a great businessman. Plus, he believes that Yasui is also a great writer like his disciple Jiraiya.

Hiruzen's hand reached under his desk and a sly blush appeared on his saggy old face. He is also a fan of the Shinobi Love Master…

"Yasui's restaurant had gathered a massive crowd, Lord Third! The crowd is so massive that a whole commercial district is taken over! This might cause a great disturbance to the village!" Ebisu was very concerned. If there were any spies that decides to create chaos and attack the at the moment, it will be extremely bad for the Village!

"It's that massive!?" Hiruzen stood up in shock and stared out the window.

Sure enough!

There is a massive black wave on the ground in a commercial district in the distance!

Hiruzen hurriedly took out his crystal ball and began to cast the Telescope Technique! He had to keep the area under surveillance.

"Immediately mobilize all the Jonins who are free and have them keep the crowd under control!" Hiruzen ordered, and the crystal ball began to light up.

"Right away, sir!" Ebisu pushed his black circle glasses up and acted very quickly, rushing out of the Hokage office!

A massive line of people covered the streets of one of Konoha's restaurant districts. People are bundled up and excitedly chatting, their faces lit up with anticipation. There are families, couples, and friends, all eager to try out the new popular restaurant that had been the talk of the town.

From what they have heard, an individual order is cheap! However, it is also said that the recipe is very delicious and complex, coming from a land far, far away. Everyone is eager to try the new dishes and experience the deliciousness of the new restaurant.

Yasui knew that it wasn't good if the people were in such a long line! When they get bored and tired of waiting, they will definitely leave!

He certainly has enough food to feed the entire village two times over, but they are stored in a warehouse in the Civilian Tech Research Facility! He didn't train enough people to make hamburgers! Even he himself did not believe that such a massive wave of people would come!

To avert this crisis, Yasui acted immediately. He summoned his clones and got them to relay messages all across Konoha.

Particularly, he relayed the messages to merchants who sell goods and people who have entertainment skills! Using the promise of a huge crowd for them to perform in front of, many entertainers went to the district and began to entertain the crowd with their skills!

Yasui also used 20 million of the 30 million Ryo that he gained over the past four years to hire performers from the brothels on the dark side of Konoha. They wouldn't be doing anything other than showing their skills.

He knew that he couldn't save them all.

However, they were always on his mind. He gave them this opportunity to work for money outside of the brothel so that they won't have to split their gains with the head mistresses.

This way, they will see hope outside of the brothel, and they will gain a little bit of money to help pay off their debts.

Before mid-morning even arrived, a festive air had already appeared out of nowhere, bringing everyone present a spark of joy and merriment.

Everyone was beaming with smiles and laughter, it's as if some invisible force had descended upon the area and filled it with a sense of elation. Music was playing from all directions, the sounds of trumpets, drums, and other instruments creating an infectious and exciting atmosphere.

People who loved to dance, danced. People who wanted to sell trinkets and snacks had also set up little stalls.

The owners of the restaurants in the districts were beyond happy when they saw such a huge crowd! Even if they were not here for their restaurants or stores, some people will occasionally come into their establishment!

As businessmen and businesswomen, they knew how to take an opportunity when it came! In just thirty minutes, colorful decorations hung from walls and ceilings, creating a jubilant atmosphere that seemed to draw people in even more from all directions.

The people's enthusiasm grew with every second. The celebratory surroundings were infectious, and soon, everyone was caught up in the party fever.

There even seems to be Jonins coming to the place and acting as security guards, stopping any fights from happening.

"Shit! Shit! Shit! It's not enough!" Yasui bit his nails as he crouched on top of the restaurant's building.

Although the entertainers helped to satisfy the crowd, and there seems to be something like a festival emerging, this isn't enough for his restaurant! He wanted to make today a day that screams out KONO BURGER!!!

"Even if I go broke, I have to get Kono Burger's name to be known by all!" Yasui was determined to not fail. He had worked too hard for this day to make his restaurant renowned.

Yasui was feeling incredibly nervous, not knowing what to do. His palms were sweaty and his heart was pounding. His breathing was shallow and he felt like his throat was closing up. He looked around desperately, searching for anything that could give him an indication of what he should be doing.

He is the organizer, but he had no idea what was going on or what was expected of him, and that only made him more anxious. He felt like he was about to burst out of his skin. He wished that he knew what was expected of him so he could do it and get through this uneasy situation.

SUDDENLY—!!!

He spotted some people that gave him the answer!

It's Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi!

He remembered that he told them about his restaurant's grand opening today, and they were very supportive. They even said that they will stop by to see if he could use some help!

Yes! He needed some help, and they were the perfect people who could help him!

Yasui quickly flickered toward his team.

"Huh!? Yasui! You told me before to stop jumping out in front of you, but why are you jumping out of nowhere and scaring me?!" Naruto grasped his heart and yelled at Naruto.

Kakashi and Sasuke didn't overreact as much as Naruto did. Nonetheless, they looked at Yasui as if they were looking at an alien. They wondered if Yasui had got anything to do with the sudden festival.

Yasui didn't have time to explain everything. He is in a rush!

"Naruto! You gotta help me! You gotta help me!" He screamed into Naruto's ear, almost making him deaf. He placed his hands on Naruto's shoulders and shook him back and forth like a rag doll.

"WHaaaaaaat????" Naruto couldn't even speak correctly because Yasui kept on shaking him!

"You! You have the power of a thousand men, Naruto! A thousand men! Don't you understand!? I have grills and food in the research facility in the village! Don't you understand what this means!? Don't you!? It means that my stonks will go up! It will go wayyyyy up! It'll go into the sky! Into space! In space, you hear me!?" Yasui continued to shake Naruto nonstop, making Naruto a little bit queasy.

As he said, he needed Naruto for Naruto's shadow clones! It's like having 1,000 free workers! He's in a Shinobi world, and he had almost forgotten about it! With Naruto by his side, he will be able to make enough hamburgers in his research facility and spread KONO BURGER all over Konoha!

"I-I don't understand!! Please let me go, Yasui!!" Naruto felt that if Yasui shook him any further, he was going to throw up.

Naruto felt like his soul was slowly leaving his mouth while Yasui continued to shake him on the spot.

"You don't need to understand, Naruto! You don't! We're going to make History! History, I say! You just have to understand that we're going to make history! If you do things right, you will also gain a little of the village's respect on a grand scale!" Yasui stopped shaking Naruto and turned his head to Kakashi and Sasuke, wondering if he should also shake them and tell them his resolve.

He also wanted to enlist them in his cause.

"Don't you dare," Sasuke made an X with his arms and shook his head. Naruto could be shaken because he's already an idiot, but he didn't want to be done in by Yasui's relentless shaking.

Kakashi also made an X sign, showing that he doesn't want to be shaken.
