Naruto: The Brightest Star

After getting the documents, Uchiha Xing immediately began to choose a very good location, which not only occupied the most lively place, but also ensured that it would not be destroyed by the Nine-Tailed Fox in a year.

After determining the location, Uchiha Xing handed over the blueprint of the previous construction in the capital of the Land of Fire to specialized craftsmen to begin construction.

After confirming it, Uchiha Xing began to shuttle back and forth between Konoha and the Land of Rain to supervise the work.

"Haori~"

Uchiha Xing, who was supervising the work, knew who was coming as soon as he heard the voice.

Uchiha Xing sighed slightly, then turned to look at the red-haired woman who was running over and smiled slightly.

"Sister Kushina, what happened today?"

"What's that tone of yours? It makes me feel like I'm here to see you for something."

Uzumaki Kushina curled her lips, indicating that she was not that kind of person.

"This time it's really not because of something else?!"

Uchiha Xing raised an eyebrow and looked at Uzumaki Kushina with some distrust.

"Of course!"

Uzumaki Kushina assured, patting her chest.

"but……"

Uzumaki Kushina rubbed her hands together and said with a smile, "Are the sour plums I ate from you last time gone yet?"

Uchiha Xing looked at Uzumaki Kushina with dead fish eyes, an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Oh, you don't know, my appetite has been poor these days. I ate your sour plums and my appetite improved immediately."

Uzumaki Kushina said helplessly.

"I won't ask for it from you for nothing. I'll give you the money."

Uzumaki Kushina said as she went to get her wallet.

"No, it's just some sour plums. If Sister Kushina likes them, I can give them to you. But can I ask Sister Kushina a question?"

Uchiha Xing said as he took out a scroll, then from the scroll's "system space", he took out a large jar of sour plums in a glass bottle.

"Questions? Just ask whatever you want! I know a lot."

Uzumaki Kushina patted her chest and looked at Uchiha Xing confidently.

"I just want to know if there is a sealing technique that can seal a life form of will onto a certain creature and cannot be easily unlocked."

As soon as Uchiha Xing finished speaking, Uzumaki Kushina's originally relaxed expression suddenly became a little solemn.

"Haori, why are you asking this?"

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Uchiha Xing seriously, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"Nothing, I just encountered a special creature recently. I can't sense its chakra, and it is very difficult to kill and capture. The key is that it always sneaks into the granary to steal food. I wonder if I can seal it on a certain creature so that I can catch it."

Uchiha Xing said with some distress.

"Let me think... Can you describe its characteristics to me in detail?"

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Uchiha Star and asked.

"I don't know much, but I know it can ignore barriers and pass through various objects. It can't sense the presence of chakra, and its body is like mud. Anyway, it's super annoying! It also ruined the food I worked so hard to grow! It's unforgivable!"

Uchiha Xing said this while gritting his teeth in anger.

"Is this so..."

Uzumaki Kushina lowered her head and pondered, trying various sealing techniques, but none of them was suitable.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the sealing technique you want."

Uzumaki Kushina shook her head helplessly.

"Ok."

Uchiha Xing sighed helplessly, then handed the jar of sour plums in his hand to Uzumaki Kushina.

"By the way, Sister Kushina, if possible, you'd better go to the hospital for a check-up. I heard from the older generation that if the wife at home suddenly likes to eat sour food, she is most likely pregnant."

Uchiha Xing gave Uzumaki Kushina advice very sincerely.

"Eh? Is there such a saying?"

Uzumaki Kushina said this with some surprise, then took out a sour plum and put it in her mouth.

"I see. I'll go to the hospital for a checkup later."

Uzumaki Kushina nodded to show that she understood.

"By the way, when will your commercial building be completed?"

Uzumaki Kushina looked at the building that was more than ten meters high with great curiosity.

"It will be completed in May this year. After employee training and stocking, it will be officially opened in June. When the time comes, Sister Kushina must come and support us~"

Uchiha Xing said with a smile.

"Okay, definitely!"

Uzumaki Kushina said with a very happy smile.

……

The day of Uchiha Star's opening is coming soon.

Uchiha Star was preparing for the opening and had people prepare the salute.

After nearly half a year of promotion by Uchiha Xing, almost everyone in the village was curious about the store that Uchiha Xing came from.

As the sound of the salutes rang out, many people who had gathered in the shopping mall came out.

After Uchiha Xing announced these contents, the shopping mall officially opened.

All the residents who came here walked in with curiosity.

Uchiha Xing stood in the hall, acting as a temporary guide.

Soon Uchiha Xing saw a familiar figure.

"Hey? Isn't this the Hokage?! I didn't expect that the Hokage would come specially to show his support on the opening day. It really makes this humble place shine!"

Uchiha Xing saw Namikaze Minato coming over and hurried forward.

"By the way, where's Sister Kushina? Didn't she say she would come today as well?"

Uchiha Xing looked a little strange when he looked behind Minato Namikaze.

Come to think of it, ever since that day when he talked with Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Xing has never seen Uzumaki Kushina again.

"Kushina? She has been feeling unwell recently and can't come out, so she asked me to come and support you. So the one who came this time is not the Hokage, but Kushina's husband."

Namikaze Minato smiled and followed Uchiha Xing.

"I see. By the way, the sour plums that Sister Kushina took from me before should have been eaten a long time ago. We have other kinds of preserved fruits here. They are over there. I'll take you there."

Uchiha Star looked at Minato Namikaze and asked.

"No, I can just go by myself."

Kushina has been clamoring for sour plums these days, so I'd buy her some.

Minato Namikaze thought so and walked in the direction pointed by Uchiha Xing.

“There are so many people here today.”

At this time, Uchiha Jing came here with his grandson.

"Yeah! After all, it's newly opened, plus there are discounts in the first three days, so there are more people coming."

Uchiha Xing said as he looked at Uchiha Jing.

"So, grandpa is here to buy a present for his grandson?"

"Not really. I just came here to look around and see if there's anything I need to buy."

Uchiha Kagami said with a chuckle.

"Is this so..."

Uchiha Xing thought for a moment, then looked at Uchiha Jing and said, "Do you like reading novels? There is a place on the third floor that specializes in selling best-selling novels. The novels in it, such as "Three Lives of Ninja Love", "My Idiot Teammate and I", and "Scarlet Story", are all popular novels in the Land of Rain."

Uchiha Xing enthusiastically recommended his three best-selling BL novels.

Especially Scarlet, that was a book that Uchiha Xing spent a lot of effort writing, and the protagonist is the lonely and arrogant Zero!

Of course, Uchiha Xing did not dare to introduce such excellent works as "This Life Cannot Live Without White Snake", "The Fox and the Tanuki", "The Crow and the Itachi", etc. to Uchiha Jing, for fear that Shisui would see them and ruin the work.

"Really? Then I must take a closer look."

Uchiha Jing said this and was about to go upstairs.

"By the way, remember to look at the back of the book when you buy it!"

After all, "Scarlet Story" has an age limit.

Hmm? Look at the back of the book?

A question mark appeared on Uchiha Jing's head, and he couldn't help but feel confused, until Uchiha Jing picked up the book "Scarlet Tale" and saw the red prohibition pattern on the back of the book. Uchiha Jing instantly understood the meaning of Uchiha Xing's last words.

Uchiha Jing looked at the book in his hand as if it were a hot potato, and quickly put the book down and hurriedly took away "Three Lives of Ninja Love" and "Crows and Itachi" without icons.

Not long after Uchiha Jing walked by, a man with long white hair saw the book "Scarlet Tale".

"A best-selling book? I want to see what the situation is, gain some experience, and then make my own book a best-seller!"

Thinking of this, the man picked up the books with the three titles he had just heard.

That afternoon, Jiraiya read these three books.

It took Jiraiya nearly three days to finish reading all three books.

“Can books be written like this?”

Jiraiya was shocked.

Originally, Jiraiya's inspiration was like Uchiha Hoshi's hair before - pitifully little. But after reading these three books, Jiraiya seemed to have turned on some strange switch, and inspiration came instantly.

At this time, Uchiha Xing didn't know that because of the book he wrote, the writer who originally wrote pure love novels became a writer of pure "love" novels.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, nine months had passed since Uchiha Xing and Uzumaki Kushina last met.

After the Konoha store was stabilized, Uchiha Xing sent someone to take care of it for him, and he would go over to inspect it every once in a while.

Looking at the rising sales, Uchiha Star was very happy. In order to reward Kakuzu, who was so busy with finances and had no heart, Uchiha Star gave 10% of the Konoha branch to him.

Kakuzu, who had been having a grumpy face all day because Uchiha Star lost his heart, suddenly smiled.

It's just a heart, he could just get another one when the time comes. If the boss likes to play with hearts, he would give her two more to play with.

However, before Kakuzu could be happy for a few days, news suddenly came that Konoha was attacked by the tailed beasts and many buildings were destroyed.

Kakuzu was so frightened that he nearly lost another heart.

Fortunately, the Konoha branch was not destroyed.

This instantly relaxed Kakuzu's tense heart.

As long as my money is safe,

Kakuzu wiped the sweat from his forehead caused by nervousness.
