Ficool

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

After a day of otherworldly culture shock, everyone in Konoha Village was left reeling...

What happened today? What did I see? What did I do? These questions tormented everyone's souls as they returned home...

Thanks to the leadership of Konoha's two celebrities—Madara and Hashirama—coupled with the over-the-top music vibe, a massive disco party had erupted in the village...

"Hey, how was everyone's dancing today!" Dave grabbed the microphone Brother Roku had developed, hopped onto the stage, and shouted to the watching villagers.

"..." The villagers were stunned... They couldn't believe what they'd done... and... that kid up there looked only five or six. Why was his voice so loud?

"Today, villagers, you danced all day.

I know you might feel a bit embarrassed.

But let me ask—were you happy? You danced with such passion, letting go of all your unhappiness and worries.

All that pressure vanished with your dancing steps, didn't it?"

Dave asked from the stage.

All the villagers nodded.

Sure, it was a little embarrassing, but they didn't feel it much.

Everyone around was dancing too—no one was alone.

What was there to be ashamed of...

And indeed, after a full day of dancing, their worries seemed forgotten...

People are like that sometimes. Doing something alone feels awkward, but when everyone's in it together, it doesn't.

"Haha, just enjoy it today. Don't feel embarrassed. Look—Lord First Hokage and Lord Madara danced in front of everyone—do they look ashamed?" Dave continued.

The villagers laughed... Yeah, nothing to be ashamed of. The First Hokage himself led the dance.

"Now, let me tell you something.

From now on, every day from four in the afternoon until dusk, the Uchiha girl group will lead everyone in dancing right here.

If you want to relieve stress, come on over.

Of course, you can give them a little material support too.

After all, the Uchiha ladies need to eat, right? Also, the great music you heard today will be available for download at the Love Kidney Phone Store counter.

From now on, you can sing, dance, and listen to songs at home.

There are five songs total—ten ryō each."

Dave revealed his real goal for today...

"Some might ask—what's a Love Kidney phone? Let me explain.

The phone in my hand uses a phone card.

Each phone has a calling card inserted with eleven numbers..."

Next, Dave explained mobile phones to the villagers in detail.

Offstage...

"Whew~ Tobirama, Dave's got real business sense. Thinking up publicity like this." Hashirama, exhausted, sat half-dead on the ground and said to Tobirama beside him.

"Hmph, some bastard next to him must've taught him that. And look at yourself today—aren't you embarrassed?" Tobirama snorted coldly. He was one of the few villagers who kept his composure and didn't join Hashirama and Madara's dance frenzy.

"Hahaha, Tobirama, don't be so stiff. Besides, the village has felt a bit down these past few years since founding. Dave's idea is great—you can see it, the villagers are happy." Hashirama looked at the smiling villagers and felt joy.

"Hashirama, I won this time." At that moment, Uchiha Madara, also panting, spoke up.

"Hey, Madara—where'd you win? I'm clearly the better dancer," Hashirama said, unconvinced.

"Yo? Still not admitting it? Want a dance-off?" Madara sneered. Hashirama wouldn't concede.

"Dance-off what?" Hashirama blinked. What did that mean?

"Oh, that's something Dave came up with. Means a dance battle. Sounds smooth, right?" Madara replied.

"...."

Only after the villagers learned everything about Love Kidney phones did the event wrap up successfully.

Back at the compound...

"Uncle Madara, thanks to you and the sisters." Dave smiled at Uncle Madara.

"No problem—I loved it. Also, you said we can get the songs on this phone?" Madara asked coolly.

"Got it.

Uncle Madara, come to the store early tomorrow—I'll download the music for you! And for the sisters—the Uchiha girl group I mentioned is starting. These sisters will be in it. Songs sell for ten ryō each—five ryō to them."

Dave nodded respectfully.

"Yeah, fine." The Uchiha clan didn't care much about song money, but it went to the family. Letting clan members earn a bit was good, and Dave wasn't taking more—fifty-fifty? What a good kid.

Plus, after today's events spread, villagers' views of the Uchiha clan had shifted. Ask anyone on the street now:

"Sir, what do you think of the Uchiha clan?"

"The Uchiha with those white-legged girls? They're great.

The girls sing beautifully, dance beautifully, have white legs, and... cough cough.

I think we've all misjudged the Uchiha.

Their leader's so handsome and dances amazingly.

That's awesome.

I was wrong to blame the Uchiha before."

This was Uchiha Madara in disguise, casually asking a passerby on his way back. Well, the Uchiha girl group was definitely workable. Time for a boy band too.

"Kid, any plans for the Uchiha boy band?" Madara asked next.

"...The boy band... not yet... The girl group's just starting—the villagers might need time to adjust.

Wait until they're used to it."

Dave wiped cold sweat from his face. Uncle Madara still hadn't forgotten his center position in the boy band...

"Well, Uncle Madara—if you want to dance, you can join the girl group.

Like today—let them be backup dancers while you lead.

When the time's right, pick a few handsome clan guys for the Uchiha boy band."

Dave continued.

"Yeah, that works." Madara thought for a moment and nodded.

In Dave's view, any random girls could form a group. But the boy band couldn't be sloppy—at least wait for Kagami, Shisui, Itachi, Obito, Sasuke, and the others. That was the shared dream of Dave and his previous life's netizens...
