Iguchi can't catch a break...

The day continued

The old ladies came by and Tenshi smiled at them, saying "Hello, young ladies~ Same as usual?" The old ladies waved at him, "Look at you, Tenshi. Sweet as ever. If my daughter was as sweet as you, she wouldn't be single…"

Tenshi smiled gently, "Tatsumaki is a very nice girl, I think she intimidates others." the old lady sighed, "I wish she would settle down, how long until I croak? I just want to hold a grandchild…" Tenshi laughed softly and made their coffees with a smile, saying "Iguchi is single, maybe we can set up a date?"

The old ladies looked at each other before smiling happily "That boy works hard. Mhm, stable job and handsome. Could work! Most definitely." Tenshi smiled gently, "Perfect! Iguchi comes by everyday, have Tatsumaki drop by." as he served them their coffees.

They smiled happily and went to sit down.

Kakashi sighed, another customer secured. He was getting better and better!

Naruto spied through the window and squinted before walking inside, saying "Uncle Lady! I have arrived!" Tenshi smiled gently and said "Oh? Time to take out the trash?" Naruto snorted with his hands on his hips, looking up, "Heh! No more trash for me! I have money today!" He held out…

A 50 Ryo coin.

Tenshi looked at it and sighed, "Fox-chan, this isn't enough for a cookie, let alone a Hot Chocolate." Naruto looked at him in shock, saying "NANI!? So expensive?!" Tenshi laughed softly and said, "Hot Chocolate is 400 Ryo… or one garbage dump."

Naruto wilted and almost cried, "Where's the trash… Uncle Lady…" as he sulked behind the counter, dragging the trash out and leaving, full of sadness and misery.

Tenshi covered his mouth and laughed softly before pausing and slapping his hand, damn! He laughed like a woman again! This was getting out of hand!

Naruto received his Hot Chocolate and sat down, drinking from the jar happily, licking his lips.

The other customers looked at him with unfriendly looks.

Hiruzen already left, he was Hokage after all, even if nobody believed it, he needed to be at Hokage's Office most of the day…

Otherwise if he saw Tenshi being so friendly to Naruto, he would have some choice words to say!

Though… Tenshi was friendly to everyone. Hiruzen didn't know, Tenshi was disgusted with him but he still treated him professionally.

Actually, the real reason why Hiruzen left was because he wasn't allowed to smoke inside. Aino was also aggrieved by this rule.

But what could they do?

Tenshi told them that smoking would ruin his perfect coffee bean blend! Not to mention, smoking around the Coffee Plant was a big no-no! It would ruin the flavor of the beans! Smoking while drinking was a good mix but infecting the beans pre-grind with tobacco smoke was very very bad!

If his beans were ruined, he would beat Hiruzen himself!

Hokage?! He ruined his beans, he could be god! Tenshi didn't care!

Coffee quality was Tenshi's number 1 priority, the rest was moot.

So until he got a terrasse, there was no smoking.

The days passed and a few weeks went by.

Today, Tenshi received his 50 Bottle order.

He paid the remaining 50,000 Ryo balance before thanking him. The man nodded and looked at the cafe curiously, asking for a coffee.

Tenshi looked at him through the cracks, seeing his tastes.

He smiled and made the man a macchiato.

The man tasted it and was shocked, this was really good! He smiled and finished it quickly, paying 350 Ryo before saying that if he needed more bottles, he could come back for a discount.

Tenshi smiled gently and nodded. The man left happily and Tenshi grinned, soon enough he would get his money back…

Tenshi put the bottles up for sale, they had big and bright logos on them for a reason. You see, his clients will surely buy these and take them with them. Especially Hiruzen, who would bring it to his office, when his advisors came and saw the new bottle, they would ask and Hiruzen would unknowingly advertise the cafe.

Not only this, but if a random ninja bought this bottle and traveled away from Konoha. Not only would they spread the advertising to other Villages but if he was killed and the bottle was taken, then it would continue to advertise on its own, bringing curiosity and mystery to other villages.

Of course, this would bring trouble but also generate buzz for the cafe. There were always risks in business! Now all he had to do was sell them! Although Tenshi really hoped that none of his customers died… This was a cruel world. He finally understood that now, he wouldn't go out of his way to kill anyone but he understood and recognized that it happened.

Sometimes… you just gotta do what you gotta do… But Tenshi would rather show mercy and deal with the trouble that comes after, rather than end someone's life. He wasn't so cruel as to step on bones and eat right after.

But only once.

He was an Angel, not a Saint!

There were limits.

Iguchi was the first to buy a bottle and fill it with just coffee. He basically got an Espresso but paid 50 Ryo extra, on top of the 1000 Ryo for the bottle itself.

+1400 Ryo!

The bottles would pay for themselves!

All his customers bought them, it was too perfect!

A coffee on the go, who could say no?

The months passed slowly

Iguchi managed to create a reasonable Cafetiere only a year after.

Since then he could make one a month.

Tenshi stocked up 12 of them before putting them up for sale.

Two years passed since Tenshi received the Bottles.

His customer base expanded because of the bottles.

Danzo came around, along with the Village Elders.

Kakashi sat at a table with Asuma, Guy, and Kurenai.

Anko sat in a corner and drank a big moka while eating a pastry happily.

There were 17 bottles left on a shelf behind Tenshi as well as 8 Cafetieres.

Hiruzen, Danzo, Aino, and Kakashi each bought one.

Best part was, Tenshi sold them for 3500 Ryo each despite paying Iguchi 1500 per. As he got the hang of it, it wasn't so difficult to produce anymore.

Kakashi quit the Anbu for real this year and now… he did the same thing as before. Sat her and read from the bookshelves while drinking coffee, he might be the most relaxed person in the entire cafe.

Tenshi served customers as he talked to Iguchi, saying "No. It has to be very precise! The machine will ruin the coffee if it's even one millimeter off!" Iguchi was helpless, saying "What you're asking me to do is impossible! I can't make parts that small!"

Tenshi frowned slightly and everyone sighed, sorry Iguchi…

He snorted, "If you can't do it, then why are you disgracing yourself here! Don't you know, if the coffee flavor is off by even a single millionth of a degree, then it will be completely ruined! The parts are necessary, irreplaceable! What do you think this is? A junkyard where we serve shit? This is a cafe! I serve coffee, not sludge! You want to make a machine that produces toxic waste? And if it poisons one of my customers with its horrible imperfect flavor, what will I do? Pack up and move into your house?!"

He waved his finger and said gently with a frown, making people feel worried for him, despite the venomous words, "First that disabled child you made, now this. What am I paying you for? Tony Stark built a robot in a cave! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS! I'm asking you to just make small parts, Iguchi!"

Iguchi sighed coldly, "I'm not Tony Stark! I don't even know who that is! I can try, just don't expect anything spectacular!" Tenshi snorted, "Then hurry up and disappoint your grandfather with your trash skills. Ruining my coffee by just being in here! Go! Get out! Improve or be disgraced! I don't want to let my beans look at you any longer! Look! They're crying because they can't be used more efficiently!"

He waved a Cezve at him, saying "Go on! Come back when you succeed! You can do it! Or else!" Iguchi sulked out of the cafe and left to see his girlfriend.

Danzo sipped a coffee and sighed, "Poor Iguchi. If he had a Sharingan, he would be able to do it." Hiruzen coughed and covered his mouth, glancing at him strangely. Danzo frowned at him, "What are you looking at, Hiruzen? Hurry up and die already." Hiruzen frowned at him.

Kakashi was reading as Asuma sighed, "Poor guy can't catch a break. I feel bad for 'im." as he put a cigarette in his mouth. Kurenai plucked it from his lips, saying softly "No smoking inside, Asuma." Asuma smiled at her, saying warmly "Where would I be without you, Kurenai~"

Kakashi rolled his eyes and shook his head, can't he just read in peace?! Why did all these damn people keep ruining his relaxing time?
