Temari left.
After the sky completely darkened, Temari returned with two large bags of food and some household items. As soon as she entered the door, she drew the attention of the Nara father and son.
"What are you two looking at? Come over here and help!"
Remembering Uchiha Yoichi's reminder, Temari said to Nara Shikamaru and Nara Shikatai with a displeased look.
The two father and son, instinctively averse to both trouble and women, immediately stepped forward to help carry the items upon hearing Temari's shout.
After bringing the things to the dining table in front of the kitchen, Nara Shikatai finally spoke up: "Mom, why did you suddenly buy so many things?"
Nara Shikamaru also said: "And the food, why buy so much at once?"
"These need to be replaced. When will you two start caring about the household chores and groceries? We're almost out of everything at home. Why don't you go shopping next time..."
Temari said with a sour face, her expression now genuinely from the heart.
Why couldn't they remember her back then? Why didn't they believe her words?
However, Nara Shikamaru failed to notice Temari's underlying thoughts. Upon hearing her angry words, he quickly said: "I have no objections, I'm very confident leaving the household to you. If dinner is late, it's late. Shikatai, come play chess with me..."
"Oh, sure, dad, let's go...."
The Nara father and son echoed each other and swiftly left. Originally, Nara Shikamaru had some suspicions about Temari's whereabouts, but after being questioned by her, he left feeling guilty.
Handling housework is really too much trouble!
After they left, Temari's face showed a hint of dejection; Nara Shikamaru and Nara Shikatai's temperaments had been completely figured out by that jerk. What should be done next....
After dinner, when Nara Shikamaru came out of the bathroom and returned to the room, he saw Temari was already lying on the bed, facing the wall.
Nara Shikamaru thought for a moment, then turned off the light, lay down, and put his hand on Temari's shoulder: "Temari, it's been a while since we...."
"Let's sleep, Shikamaru. I'm not feeling well today, and you have a lot going on lately, so get some rest."
"...Oh, yes...we should indeed rest early."
Nara Shikamaru's tone was a bit awkward, but he still withdrew his hand and then lay in bed to rest.
The next day
Uchiha Yoichi got up early. Today was the day to depart for the Hidden Rock Village. It was originally scheduled for half a month later, but the Hidden Rock Village suddenly notified the other Four Great Ninja Villages that they could come early.
The Tsuchikage planned to convene a Five Kage Summit, possibly to discuss something, and this time it was to be held in the Hidden Rock Village.
Uchiha Yoichi was also going, wanting to make the trip early and return, buy all the valuable stuff from the Otherworld creatures, and then return to Konoha to continue developing the treasure.
"Mr. Yoichi, you're here; this is your seat."
At the Thunder Car departure station, Uchiha Yoichi saw Sakura with a suitcase. After taking the ticket from her hand, he surprisingly asked: "Sakura, are you going too?"
"I've got some matters to coordinate with the Hidden Rock Village; they need my presence."
Sakura explained simply but without much detail, as she had made some discoveries that needed to be exchanged with the Hidden Rock Village.
People from the other Ninja Villages would also be going, not just from Konoha.
Uchiha Yoichi didn't ask much more, found his seat on the Thunder Car, and quietly rested.
After the Thunder Car started, Uchiha Yoichi noticed Sakura glancing at him a few times from diagonally across, but he showed no reaction, just closing his eyes to relax.
The work on the Tenseigan Clone's side also needed to accelerate.
The mobile company was fully established, and various equipment and factories were in place; in the Ninja World, communication facilities were fully developed, yet it was the lack of mobile phones that allowed Uchiha Yoichi to seize the opportunity.

"Director Wada, Director Oyama Rin, and Director Morishita, do you have any filming plans next?"
The Tenseigan Clone had brought over all three directors from the two invested film companies, planning the next step of the plan.
"Yes, boss, next I plan to...."
"Boss, I also...."
All three directors laid out their filming plans in succession, but seeing the Tenseigan Clone's stern face, their hearts became uncertain.
"Change it."
The Tenseigan Clone said: "The next series we shoot will have only one theme."
"Boss, this...."
"Is there a problem?"
The Tenseigan Clone interrupted Director Wada, staring at the three of them. Anywhere, the financier always has the most say.
"No, no problem..."
"If there's no problem, then go and shoot it. Do your best, and I will personally reward you with five million ryo."
Faced with the Tenseigan Clone's gaze, the three directors reluctantly agreed. They couldn't fathom why the boss wanted to shoot such a themed series.
But since the funding came from him, if they didn't agree, there were many others in the Ninja World eager for such investments.
