Chapter 102 The Villain's Troubles

That's why people are so interested.
In addition to the stimulation of 'limited time and limited quantity', it is also because it is the 'same style'.
And it’s the same model as the ‘Excellent One’.
After all, Uchiha Shisui's performance in the Chunin Exam was quite impressive, so people would inevitably have thoughts like 'how can he be so outstanding', 'things chosen by such an outstanding person must be the best', etc.
In addition, the products of Yuyue Store have always been of guaranteed quality.
Although the product categories it produces so far are not very many.
But whether it is eating, drinking or having fun, each boutique——
It’s just a bit annoying to always have limited quantities or limited time offers.
But it's understandable that if you want quality products, you must spend time or use good materials. It's normal that you can't keep up with the supply from all over the world.
In addition, since the products produced each time never disappoint, people will naturally be more tolerant.
But for some others, limited quantity or limited time is not a disadvantage - it can even be said to be an advantage.
This is the only way to demonstrate your identity and ability.
Without some connections, how can you be the first to know about new products?
If you have connections and want to get things first, you also need to have the ability and time, right?
Isn't this a comparison?
Instead, people can find some strange fun in the standard "queue" release of the Ugetsu store.
Only Hyde couldn't understand it at all.
Is there something wrong with you?
It's just a small dish, and it's limited in quantity and time.
Are you still queuing?
For a moment, Hyde actually thought these people were crazy.
"Don't get in the way here if you're not in line!"
Just when he was in a daze, a wave of people came from all directions.
Hyde and his men happened to be standing at the intersection and were the first to be hit.
The three girls were pushed to the corners by the crowd before they even had time to react.
In fact, according to their abilities, it would be easy to deal with these "ordinary tourists".
But Hyde couldn't stop them from taking action and told them to keep a low profile.
The three of them could only be squeezed out more than ten meters and lost the protection range.
Without protection, Hyde could only be pushed and shoved around like a top.
previously
The ninja who had kindly reminded him couldn't help but curl his lips.
I have reminded you, if you don't believe me then there is nothing I can do.
In this situation, it was impossible for him to just run over and pull the person out - no, there were so many people, even for him, it would be difficult to pull the person out without affecting others.
I can only wish for the best.
Respect , blessing.jpg
Anyone who has experienced crowds knows that when there are people all around you, where you go and when you can leave are completely out of your control.
In addition, Hyde did not follow the instructions and enter the guardrail area in time, so he could only follow where others walked.
By the time they finally found a breakthrough, their signature peaked hat and monocle had been squeezed away.
The whole person looked as miserable as a stray dog ​​that had been beaten.
"Lord Hyde!"
The three female knights then hurried over and worked together to pull Hyde out of the crowd.
"Are you all right?"
"Do I look like I'm okay?"
Hyde was furious.
If it weren't for the greater good...
...No, even for the sake of the overall situation, he couldn't bear it.
Hyde's white teeth were almost broken.
He is the one who wants to rule the world, how could he endure such humiliation?
"Go mobilize 'it'."
He instructed the girl beside him.
"Now?"
The girl in the blue coat was very surprised.
“But isn’t it still under construction…”
"It's been so long in construction, it's time to see its power."
Do you really think he is so easy to bully?
"Yes, I'll follow your orders!"
The girl was ordered to leave.
At the same time, she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart.
After all, that is their 'fortress'.
Who would like to be timid when they can show their strength?
Hyde snorted coldly as he looked at the bustling crowd in the distance.
——Of course he wasn’t stupid enough to attack the Sand Village directly.
But this is the Chunin Exam, so no matter what accidents happen... it's normal, right?
The eerie trail disappeared into the darkness.
Let him see how long these people can remain happy.
On the other hand, Uchiha Shisui, who successfully "promoted goods", did not disappoint everyone's expectations.
He was the first to arrive at the oasis pointed out by the intelligence.
Compared to the desert, the oasis is not very big, but it is not easy to find a small clue within a radius of several hundred meters.
But the boy relied on the shadows cast by sunlight and moonlight to find the designated location.
Got the second intelligence.
“Well done!”
Moonlight Gale couldn't hide his joy and clenched his fists.
He didn't know what the situation was like on other people 's sides, but he couldn't help but get excited because he got the information so smoothly.
In this way, they can be considered to have brought honor to the village.
And when you are happy, how can you miss a delicious meal?
Oasis has fish and rabbits, and both the software and hardware are excellent, so you can naturally have a sumptuous feast.
Even though it had nothing to do with the Chunin Exams, it was really fun to watch those handsome boys eating, drinking, chatting and laughing.
Many viewers even decided on the spot to eat grilled fish and grilled rabbit tonight.
Many people even expressed their feelings -
Why didn’t they know in the past that watching others eat could be so joyful?
I feel my mood and appetite have improved.
The other teams that successfully survived the black sandstorm also began to obtain the second intelligence one after another.
But by this time, the candidates' condition began to deteriorate significantly.
Many teams were even forced to give up because of serious injuries or reduction in personnel.
Of course, the contestants who have to give up after reaching this point are unwilling to do so.
But the first one requires the participation of the 'squad'.
Of course they couldn't go on if they had lost men or their teammates were dying.
I could only send out a distress signal to express my abstention with reluctance.
The rescue team from the Sand Village, which had been on standby when the black sandstorm began, also set out immediately. They will do their best to bring back all the candidates who have sent out distress signals.
——In fact, the fact that these candidates were able to send out a distress signal even when encountering a black sandstorm already demonstrated their strength.
If it were candidates from a peacetime era, this black sandstorm alone would have eliminated at least 70% of the contestants.
The candidates who had to give up were crying.
Come on, I was even prepared to be severely beaten by the leading ninja.
"I'm sorry! Teacher, it's us..."
However, before the candidates who were still standing could finish speaking, the teacher spoke first.
“You guys did a great job.”
Huh?
The teacher's gentle tone made people wonder if there was something wrong with their ears during the previous black sandstorm.
Otherwise, why would the teacher speak to me in such a gentle manner when facing me who gave up?
It's good enough not to give them a severe beating.
"Have a good rest. You have all worked hard."
The teacher in charge was really not angry.
——Well, I was quite angry at first.
But I noticed that the audience was not disappointed, but instead showed encouragement and were ready to seek them out for commissions in the future.
The teacher was not angry anymore.
They worked so hard to organize such a big Chunin Exam and invited so many spectators, wasn't it just to get more commissions?
Now that they have achieved their goal, giving up is actually a way to deal with it.
After all, a living and famous ninja is better than a corpse.
Not a loss at all.
After understanding this principle, the leading ninja will naturally not be angry anymore.
Of course, we still need to discuss the specific operations with the village.
"You have worked hard, take a good rest and relax."
After all, when you return to the village, there are only two possibilities: 'busiest' and 'even busier'.
The candidates had no idea what the leading ninja was planning, they just felt it was scary.
——Everything abnormal must have something wrong.
But the demon is like this...
Isn't this their end-of-life care?
The situation of individual ninjas will not affect the progress of the Chunin Exam.
Nearly 70% of the candidates successfully and tenaciously completed the first round of examinations, winning themselves a "ticket" to participate in the re-examination.
Depending on the completion time, people will have different scores and rest time.
Simply put, the sooner you finish, the more points and rest time you will get.
After all, the date of the next exam was fixed, and the sooner they finished, the longer it would be until that day.
But perhaps as long as there is competition, it will be full of various surprises and possibilities.
The first place in the preliminary round of the Chunin Exam was not always the Uchiha Shisui team that was at the forefront.
But it’s the Kusagakure team that has always shown more humor than strength.
Maybe it was because their bad luck was exhausted by the direct collision with the Desert Scorpion and the black sandstorm at the entrance.
The whole journey of the Kusagakure Village group can only be described as "good luck".
First, a black sandstorm pushed their grass ball into the wind, and then it pushed them directly to the side of the second clue point.
Yes, it’s really right next to it.
The kind that is less than a hundred meters away.
Then, due to the existence of the black sandstorm, the traps and 'false clues' originally set up at the mission point were also destroyed.
Only the device containing the real clues was preserved because it was deep and strong enough.
In addition, the black sandstorm has changed the terrain a lot.
The valley was blown into raised sand dunes, and the people of Kusagakure Village sat on their magical and versatile straw blankets and slid like surfboards to the next location.
And there were no crises or monsters encountered along the way.
On the contrary, although Uchiha Shisui's team was going smoothly in the beginning, they encountered various accidents and difficulties on the way from the second clue point to the third clue point.
Including but not limited to battles with equally huge desert creatures, the sudden appearance of quicksand, and even an encounter with sand bandits.
...is just outrageous.
Although they always managed to escape danger with their calm judgment and superb skills.
But after all, they encountered so many things, so the speed was several hours slower than the first group's "Kusa Hidden Village".
Although the other two were disappointed, second place was still a good result after all.
So Mizutani and Gekko Hayate quickly regained their form.
On the contrary, although Uchiha Shisui had a smile on his face, the sense of loss in him could be felt by everyone who knew him.
At least from Yu Yue's point of view, the other party was like a puppy caught in the rain.
"Can't accept it?"
I didn't expect that Uchiha Shisui, who always looks calm and unhurried, is also a TOP cancer?
"No……"
The boy paused, not so much because he couldn't accept the 'second place' position.
It's more like a sense of disappointment.
"sorry."
He apologized.
"Varied
"
Yu Yue blinked, not understanding why he had to apologize to her after getting second place in the exam.
“…I’ve let down Miss Ugetsuki and everyone’s support.”
That's right, rather than feeling lost or unacceptable, he felt more emptiness and panic caused by guilt.
"If I could be faster..."
If only their schedule had been tighter.
If only his every move could be a little faster...
All kinds of regrets flashed through the boy's mind, but he was not prepared to make an excuse.
In the ninja world, strength speaks.
Second place is second place.
No matter what the reason or excuse, there is no way to escape this result.
Even though he has been with Ugetsu for the past few years, Uchiha Shisui still thinks like a ninja. Or rather, because he has always been with Ugetsu, he particularly hopes to become the 'best' and prove Miss Ugetsu's excellence.
Ugetsu sighed.
"I thought you were going to say something."
As she spoke, she waved to Uchiha Shisui, and then, in the other's confused eyes, she flicked the forehead of Uchiha Shisui who was bending over.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. This is your own exam. It's better to say that we are all making money by taking advantage of your performance."
"It's enough for you to have a clear conscience."
"But……"
The boy's expression wavered, but he was still very embarrassed. It was obvious that he couldn't forgive himself so easily and let the matter go.
Seeing this, Yu Yue had no choice but to raise her hands and pinch the other person's face, forcing a 'smile'.
"You got second place and you look like you're about to cry. How do you expect others to live?" Putting aside other things, there are still people in Konoha who haven't returned yet .
"Besides, isn't there a second game?"
Yu Yue took the opportunity to pinch his smooth face again.
"Wouldn't it be nice to win it back beautifully?"
For some highly motivated people, new goals are far more effective than comfort.
Comfort will only make them recall their failure repeatedly, but new goals can help them shift their thinking to how to win next time.
Sure enough, the boy became excited when he heard this.
"I see."
He rubbed his face which was reddened by Yu Yue's pinch and said solemnly:
"Next time, I will definitely win."
Whether it's for myself or for Miss Yu Yue.
Seeing the puppy... No, the gold medal assistant finally came back to his senses, and Yu Yue no longer continued this topic.
"Come on, let's go celebrate - the others should be almost ready."
The girl turned and left.
"By the way, did you know that all the seasonings and side dishes you brought have become bestsellers? But the supply can't keep up, so I changed it to a limited-time, limited-quantity sales model."
The boy followed closely behind.
Not only did he not feel unhappy about his image and privacy being sold, but he asked seriously:
"In that case, do you need me to bring anything else to the next exam?"
If side dishes and condiments can be sold, then other products should be the same, right?
The voices of the boy and girl gradually became quieter, and eventually could no longer be heard.
Only their shadows stuck together behind them showed the direction in which the two people left.
Hidden Rain Village——
"Where's Konan?"
Uchiha Obito rushed back, exhausted.
However, when he walked into the base of Akatsuki hidden in the Hidden Rain Village, he only saw Nagato reviewing documents.
Facing this companion who repeatedly made gaffes, Changmen didn't even bother to raise his head:
"We went to the Sand Village."
Nagato didn't know why Miss Ugetsu could get so many commissions just by taking part in the Chunin Exam, but there was no reason for Konan not to go.
After all, Miss Yu Yue's remuneration is generous.
And depending on the urgency of the time, there will be additional bonuses - and that's real money.
It's not an exaggeration to say that Miss Ugetsu is one of Akatsuki's main sources of income.
Uchiha Obito, who was about to find Konan for something: ...
"Why didn't you tell me in advance!?"
Even though they are my companions, I don’t even know where they are or what they are doing at the moment. What should I do?
Really, Uchiha Obito was almost vomiting blood several times because of his companions.
After all, he is still a teenager, and with the constant accidents and problems, it is really difficult for Uchiha Obito to control his emotions.
——In fact, at the beginning, Uchiha Obito was planning to stay quietly in Akatsuki and serve as a member of the atmosphere group.
As long as he acts stupid enough, no one else will care.
Even if I care about myself, I will look down on him as "he is a fool".
That way he could hide deeper and more covertly, and even if the existence of 'Akatsuki' was known to others, his secrets and purpose would not be revealed.
He and Black Zetsu can perfectly use Akatsuki as a shield to create opportunities for their own actions.
After all, when it comes to 'changing the world' or 'making the world feel pain', the tailed beasts are not the only option.
But for him and Black Zetsu, it was different.
So they had to let Akatsuki attack the tailed beasts no matter what.
Uchiha Obito's plan was going well, but Akatsuki hadn't recruited many members yet.
Before he could play dumb, something really frivolous happened.
For example, the flying section.
There was nothing but gods every day, and they didn't do much work, but they killed a lot of their own people.
Because of his existence, the already poor members of 'Akatsuki' were even worse off.
Among the few people that he and Black Zetsu had been optimistic about before—
Scorpion is extremely busy now. Not to mention persuading him to betray his village and come to them, they can't even contact him.
Even when Black Zetsu sneaked in, he was never able to successfully start a conversation.
Every time he poked his head out, he would be beaten up by the impatient scorpion.
Although the pain is not unbearable for Black Zetsu, who would be willing to be beaten again and again?
After a few times, Black Zetsu was no longer happy.
——You’re kidding. He didn’t suffer such injustice when he deceived Indra back then!
In addition, because the Sand Village undertakes a large number of commercial activities, the surveillance within the village is more frequent and stricter than in the past. If he continues like this, he might really be exposed, so he is even more reluctant to go.
As a person who has only acted in secret for thousands of years, Hei Jue is very resistant to the idea of ​​being "exposed".
Darkness is his protective umbrella and the foundation of his actions.
He is the 'shadow' of the ninjas.
Of course, it may also be related to the trauma of being beaten up by Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha the only time he was exposed.
Another candidate they are very optimistic about is Kakuzu, a rebel ninja from Takigakure who was a contemporary of the First Hokage and others.
In addition to his extraordinary strength, the opponent also possesses an economic acumen which is quite rare among ninjas.
As the person in charge of finance, he is really the best choice.
But recruit him
The problem then arises in the area of ​​'finance'.
Xiao's financial situation is not that rich at all.
Given the current situation, it is really difficult to talk about asking someone to come back to be responsible for the "finances".
The Hidden Rain Village rebuilt after the war is a gold-eating monster.
Money is needed everywhere, and the money spent is always more than the money earned.
But you said giving up - not to mention that this is Nagato and Konan's home, it's not easy to find such a big "ninja village" as a cover.
After all, they are doing things in the dark, and it is definitely not possible for them to stand in front of people openly.
But because of this, the economy of both Akatsuki and the Hidden Rain Village has never improved.
The original plan of Akatsuki was to establish a mercenary organization that did not belong to any country, and then monopolize the war commissions between villages and small countries and small groups at low prices. When the conflict further expanded, they could take advantage and increase the intensity to make people fight more fiercely and ruthlessly.
As mercenaries, they can first accept A's commission to fight B, or they can accept B's request for revenge to kill A next time.
As long as you have money, everything is easy.
People who are blinded by killing will forget the cause and keep fighting, even expanding the war to more places.
In this way, they can make unlimited profits from war.
After all, wherever there are people, there will be hatred.
As time goes by, when they become stronger by making money from the war, even if the five major countries and the five major ninja villages discover them, they will have to think twice before making any decisions.
However, their plan had just begun when they died before they could accomplish their goal.
One of the reasons is that four of the five major countries, plus the ninja villages they belong to, are now doing prosperous business, and the nearby small countries and small ninja villages have also more or less received radiation care.
Especially those border areas that were originally no law enforcement area.
Now I am making a lot of money running the post station, hotel and lending business.
Even if there are occasional conflicts, they are always resolved because we are busy making money.
Naturally, it would not develop to the stage of hiring ninjas to fight.
In this case, even if they ask for a low price, it will be useless - after all, they don't hire ninjas at all.
They have no room to perform.
——This is also the reason why Xiaonan has been unable to get rid of Yu Yue’s commission, and has even become more and more dependent on him, ready to come whenever he is called.
The second reason is
There's really no one.
The few promising ones couldn't be dug out, and most of the tallest ones picked out from the short ones were killed by Feiduan for various reasons.
No one left was willing to partner with Feidan, and when Feidan acted on his own, he often let himself go.
Sometimes you earn less than you lose.
The others were not very optimistic about their work as they had a companion like Feiduan who would attack their own people at the slightest disagreement.
In this case, Xiao's offer is really not very competitive.
For someone like Kakuzu who can earn a lot of money doing odd jobs, there is naturally no need for him to join.
By then, the money earned will not only fail to increase my savings, but will also have to be paid back to the organization...
What does he want here?
Poverty alleviation?
Of course, Kakuzu didn't say anything too decisive.
After all, Akatsuki is a lawless organization, so if there are no other good choices, he can be a backup... No, he said "alternative".
So Kakuzu kept waiting for Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito to come and find him.
Maintain an ambiguous relationship that is close but not too close.
Neither accepted nor rejected it outright.
Just say that you will consider it.
Then I happily continue to take on my own outsourcing work and earn my own money.
I have to say, this Yu Yue Store is really generous when assigning jobs.
——As a person who lived in the same period as the first Hokage, Kakuzu had witnessed many ups and downs.
Beliefs, wishes, and ideals in life are all empty.
It's okay to use it to fool employers or young people.
It doesn't work for someone like him who has experienced and seen everything.
He only cares about profit.
If you give him enough money and his financial prospects seem bright, then of course he will be happy with everything.
Otherwise, just say 'let's contact you next time'.
Kakuzu was also very emotional.
I wish all employers were as generous and straightforward as Ms. Ugetsu.
...Oh, I won’t say any more. I’ll go and work for Miss Yu Yue next time.
Uchiha Obito: "..."
I was very angry.
Don't you ninjas have higher aspirations?
The world is so bad, don’t you have any idea to change him, to destroy him! ?
You are so law-abiding and yet you are greedy for money. Why did you betray the village? You might as well go back and continue to earn your money.
Failures again and again made Uchiha Obito very frustrated.
He didn't know where the problem lay, he just knew that nothing he wanted to do went smoothly except at the beginning.
This is also the reason why he has not been able to make any waves after several years and can only continue to run around in exhaustion.
Although compared to the world, money is really nothing.
But before he could turn the world upside down on his own, he couldn't help but care about this thing.
hateful.
Why is it so easy for others to make money?
Uchiha Obito felt bad, but he could do nothing about it.
--no way.
Creating an image is no longer important.
Since his classmates are unreliable, he has to take charge——
It's time for Black Zetsu to investigate which wanted warrants in the gold exchange are more valuable. !
