Chapter 14: Heaven on Earth

After listening, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but clench his fists.

He felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, wishing to immediately target Danzo.

"Damn it! I'm fired up!"

Li Xiang saw the thick smoke coming from the kitchen and quickly ran in.

Shisui coughed while trying to put out the fire.

"Hey, if you can't handle it, don't mess around."

Li Xiang didn't know Water Style, so he could only collect water from the faucet.

"I was listening to you speak and didn't notice the situation in the pot. It accidentally caught fire."

Shisui answered with an embarrassed expression.

When Li Xiang mentioned Tendou, he raised his voice, allowing him to hear the content.

As an idealistic ninja, Tendou's slogan undoubtedly resonated with him.

But he didn't expect the situation of the pot exploding.

Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment, formed hand seals, and a water dragon rose in front of him, instantly extinguishing the flames.

"Truly a genius."

Li Xiang gave a thumbs up.

Uchiha Itachi possessed Chakra of five different attributes.

After wiping his face with a towel, Shisui said helplessly, "It seems we'll have to eat outside for lunch."

Cleaning the kitchen would take time, and it would be too late to eat afterwards.

"Then let's go to Ichiraku Ramen."

Li Xiang suggested, "It's a perfect way to celebrate the establishment of Tendou. After all, we already have a good start."

Shisui scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

After all, he was the one who caused the explosion.

"How about having a feast?"

Uchiha Itachi felt that ramen was not enough to commemorate the establishment of the organization.

Li Xiang rubbed his chin.

He suggested Ichiraku Ramen because their taste was indeed good.

As for others, it was a bit of a stretch for him, a glutton from a flower-growing family.

"Let's have barbecue."

Li Xiang thought of another acceptable delicacy.

As long as there was cumin, the taste wouldn't be too bad.

Uchiha Itachi nodded in agreement.

As for Shisui, he didn't care about these things.

At the barbecue restaurant, after Li Xiang placed his order, he noticed two customers not far away.

Akamichi Chouza and Akimichi Choji.

Their physical characteristics were too obvious.

"They are from the Akamichi clan."

Shisui glanced at them and said, "Ino-Shika-Cho has always been united and strongly supports the Third Hokage. They might have a negative impact on us."

"They support the Hokage, not Sarutobi Hiruzen."

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "Unity brings strength, division brings death. The three of them are all very intelligent ninja. If our Uchiha clan and Hyuga clan cooperate, the higher-ups of Konoha will no longer dare to act against us."

Shisui listened and smiled bitterly.

If the Uchiha clan could cooperate with other ninja clans, it wouldn't be called the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, if Uchiha and Hyuga joined forces, the higher-ups of Konoha would probably have trouble sleeping.

Because they might have to move their heads while sleeping.

"So, are you saying that even if the Uchiha clan becomes Hokage, they will still support us?"

Uchiha Itachi asked.

"At least on the surface, it's hard to say in reality."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "But we can bind them through mutual interests."

"How do we bind them?"

Uchiha Itachi continued to seek advice.

"By controlling the economic lifeline of the three clans."

Li Xiang lowered his voice and talked about his ideas.

Ninjas, or ninja villages, are generally not good at making money.

Many times, they have to rely on aid from the Land of Fire.

The small Inuzuka clan had to engage in side businesses in order to sustain themselves.

For example, the Yamanaka clan ran a flower shop, and the Nara clan raised deer.

However, due to a lack of proper development, they didn't make much money. It was more like a subsistence economy, where they produced enough to sustain themselves.

The biggest expense was undoubtedly the cost of being a ninja.

Not to mention the cost of ninja tools and explosive tags, just the physical toll alone was a huge expense.

Firstly, it was common for ninjas to get injured, and secondly, physical training was like martial arts, so they definitely needed to take good care of their bodies.

Shisui furrowed his brows slightly.

What Li Xiang was talking about was completely different from what a ninja should be doing.

But the benefits were also obvious.

He was a bit puzzled as to why no one had thought of this before.

"If Tendou wants to grow stronger, they will inevitably need to make money."

Li Xiang concluded, "It's difficult to promote it throughout the entire ninja world in the name of Konoha. This is where Tendou comes in. They would never suspect that Uchiha clan is behind Tendou."

He had been in this world for ten years, and he had been thinking about it for ten years.

But Shisui didn't know that he was a time traveler.

"Compared to me and Itachi, you are the naturally gifted genius."

Shisui said with emotion, "I really want to know what's going on in your head."

"Well, it's definitely not tofu."

Li Xiang shrugged and made a lame joke.

But obviously, Shisui and Uchiha Itachi couldn't quite understand.

After the barbecue feast, Shisui took Li Xiang's information and went to the Hokage Tower.

He wanted to eliminate the vigilance caused by the replacement of the patrol team in the Konoha Police Department, so as not to affect their subsequent plans.

"Are you saying that the replacement of the patrol team members was just to advertise for a cosmetics company called Tenjinyama?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the information in front of him and couldn't help but be taken aback.

The concept of advertising existed in the ninja world.

But the most common form was about movie stars.

"You've been a bit reckless with this matter."

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe on the desk.

He didn't believe this at all.

But since Shisui said so, he couldn't possibly expose it.

At least for now, they couldn't turn against each other.

"Tian Shang Ren Jian promises to pay at least one million taels of taxes every month."

"Hmm?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately sat up and asked, "Is that really what they said?"

One million taels is already the starting price for an S-rank mission.

But S-rank missions are not easy, they are extremely dangerous.

Who knows, a few Jōnin might even die, resulting in a loss.

"Yes."

Shisui pointed to the table, "There is an agreement in that document, Hokage-sama will see it at a glance."

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately flipped through it and indeed, it was as Shisui said.

"You did well in handling this matter, but next time it's better to communicate with us in advance to avoid any misunderstandings."

Although he didn't fully believe it, one million taels was indeed not bad.

Shisui immediately lowered his attitude and apologized, "I was thoughtless, please forgive me, Hokage-sama."

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

For a moment, the office became quite harmonious.

After Shisui left, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately ordered the Anbu to investigate the origin of Tian Shang Ren Jian.

He actually hoped it was true, that way, everything would be a misunderstanding.

The next day, advertisements for Tian Shang Ren Jian sprouted up all over Konoha like mushrooms after the rain, sincerely inviting everyone to come to the Konoha Police Department for on-site observation.

The previously embarrassed LSPs suddenly had a legitimate reason to invite their girlfriends or wives to learn makeup.

Li Xiang used to like browsing the makeup section of a small website in his previous life.

Cough cough, it wasn't to get a close look at beautiful women or anything, mainly to learn techniques and improve his eyesight.

In this day and age, you can't see a person's true face without removing their makeup.

The makeup techniques in the ninja world are quite backward, at most, they would apply lipstick like Tsunade, or the Akatsuki would paint their nails.

The advanced makeup techniques and beauty effects brought by Tian Shang Ren Jian immediately caused a stir in Konoha.

But for Li Xiang, it was just the first step.

But for now, he had to attend the Uchiha clan meeting.
