Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked into his nieces's tearful eyes and decided to talk her out of it early.
"Okay, don't cry. Didn't you hear the Anbu saying Eren had a sudden personality change today? Maybe he's not the right person for this."
Sarutobi had initially thought it was a good idea, but he never expected Eren to suddenly become such a rude person.
Of course, Sarutobi never imagined Eren would deceive himself all these years.
"But, uncle! You said you set up Uzumaki Eren and me on a blind date."
"Don't think about that right now. Besides, it's best for you to marry a jonin who can save you when you're in trouble."
"But!"
"That's enough, Kairi! Go home, it's late."
Sarutobi Kairi saw her uncle getting irritated and realized it was time to stop talking about the blind date. Leaving the office, she asked an Anbu to escort her and headed home.
Seeing this, Hiruzen realized that Kairi had always asked the same Anbu to drive her home. Moreover, Kairi waited in complete silence until she was certain Eren wouldn't show up.
Hiruzen nodded as if he finally realized everything and asked the Anbu behind him for information about the Anbu accompanying Kairi.
After a while, Hiruzen stopped thinking about it when he couldn't find anything wrong. He had no reason to disapprove of the two of them.
Hiruzen was unconsciously glad Eren hadn't come. If Eren had come, if the blind date had gone ahead under his pressure, and if Kairi's relationship had been revealed later, it would have made Eren hate him.
"Anyway, break into Eren's house tonight while he's sleeping and see if he's been affected by any genjutsu lately."
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as the Anbu who had received the order had disappeared, Sarutobi opened his desk drawer and pulled out a black tobacco. He had sent someone to buy it when he heard about Eren's new product, and it wasn't cheap at all.
After crushing the tobacco and placing it in his pipe, he immediately lit it and took a deep breath.
What followed next were harsh coughs that shook the entire Hokage building.

After depositing my employees' half-salaries in the black envelopes with gold trim I always use, I was about to go door-to-door to distribute the salaries when I received a notification from the system that my template similarity had been deducted by 3 points.
After some thought, the most likely reason was that the envelopes I used for paying were unnecessarily expensive.
I sighed and, too lazy to replace all the envelopes, accepted the negative rating I received and began distributing the envelopes. Thankfully, I didn't receive any more negative ratings for the envelopes, which cost so little.
I managed to maintain my concrete face as I went door-to-door, subjected to creative curses extolling my wisdom, and returned home.
My residence is the house where Kushina lived with Minato before her death. When Kushina died, I spoke with Hiruzen and inherited the house with a small sum of money.
If I were to describe its appearance, it would be a small, two-story detached house, similar to the one Naruto lives in in the Boruto anime.
As soon as I got home, I relaxed under the hot water and quickly sank into bed.
That's when I remembered another aspect of the template, both good and bad.
Trader Rekt used to open his shop every morning at 4:05 AM and close it every evening at 9:50 PM. This meant I had to open mine at the same time to maintain template similarity.
I was about to angrily gnaw on my pillow and fall asleep when I received an unexpected notification from the system.
[Template similarity -10]
[Please increase your template similarity within 10 minutes to activate the early template completion function.]
"WTF did I just do??? Is Rekt Dosn't sleep, or something like that?"
[A tip from Trader Rekt: Bedtime is when you're most at risk. You should secure yourself before going to sleep! As I always say: Don't trust anyone, not even yourself.]
"What! What do you want from me? Should I tie myself up before going to bed? What do you want?"
Cursing the system for being dragged out of bed just as I was about to fall asleep, I began taking every security precaution I could think of. I also had to act quickly, because my time was limited.
First, I locked the doors a few more times to make sure no one could enter the house while I was asleep. Then, just because I knew how to use ninjas to break into the house, I set booby traps in front of each window.
By booby trap, I simply wrapped some rope under the window. After all, I couldn't possibly have built a better trap in such a short time.
"As if a ninja were to climb through the window and fall to the ground because their foot got tangled in the ropes..."
Unfortunately, there are very few ninjas in the world who would be caught in such a simple trap.
By the time I finished setting the booby trap in front of the last window, only one minute remained on my 10-minute countdown. Fortunately, Trader Rekt found the trap I set sufficient, and my pattern similarity increased by 13 points, reaching 100% again.
With my nerves completely on edge, I lay down on my bed and fell asleep instantly, until I was awakened by the sound of something falling to the floor.
