If you ask me what is the most popular activity this time besides watching the Chunin Exams.
That is a variety of entertainment activities.
The most popular ones are the various treatments and massages.
Whether it is a sand bath or a whitening mask care experience, it is crowded every day.
Originally, these two items have been adjusted by professionals (even the best among professionals), and their effectiveness is impeccable.
In addition, this time manual services were also provided - that is, a group of ninjas were urgently trained to perform acupoint massage.
That kind of happiness will make anyone addicted to it.
The originally heavy body became light.
The stiff shoulders and back also relaxed.
Sleep quality has improved.
The skin that had become dark or uneven in color due to various reasons has become fair, tender and smooth.
Ah, how wonderful life can be.
If people are in good health, they will naturally be in good spirits.
This will allow us to devote more energy to supporting projects.
After completing the care, the refreshed people are full of energy to participate in various support activities.
Once your energy is exhausted, you will be physically and mentally exhausted.
Just go and queue up to take care of your body and mind.
A perfect virtuous cycle.
But it is not completely without disadvantages.
The schedule is just too full, and when our people want to do something, they often can't get a number.
The Sand Village ninja who failed to queue up again left dejectedly.
Seeing the lost look of his men, Luo Sha, who came to look for his wife, couldn't help but speak:
"Can't you really give me another seat, like after get off work..."
However, he had only said half of his words when his wife interrupted him with a murderous smile.
"I didn't make myself clear just now - can you say it again?"
Although she said 'I didn't hear it clearly', it matched her expression.
Anyone can perceive the true meaning of it.
——Can you try saying it again?
Of course Luo Sha would not be without any desire to survive.
He shut up immediately, but there was still a hint of hope in his expression.
What if my wife softens her heart?
However, Karula just sighed and opened the door of the lounge.
Inside the door, there were several ninjas lying on their backs, looking utterly horrible.
There is actually a bed in the lounge
, but most people didn’t even get into bed, they just lay down in various postures to rest.
It was obvious that he was extremely tired and couldn't even go to bed.
“The ones still working now are the last batch of employees.”
Jialuo also looked anxious. As the project leader, she was the direct person responsible for any problems that occurred with the project.
"I don't even know if the employees will be able to continue working tomorrow."
She also has a headache.
If she really stopped working because she couldn't make the rotation, doesn't that mean that she, as the person in charge, is not capable enough?
Miss Yu Yue created such a good opportunity for her, allowing her to achieve what she has today. How could she be willing to make a mistake at this time?
In fact, because it was Miss Yu Yue's event, she had specially recruited a group of people in advance. But even so, everyone was still exhausted to the limit.
It's not surprising, from the time the store opens in the morning until midnight, there is a constant stream of customers to be served.
Acupoint massage is strenuous work, and more than ten hours of high-intensity work every day is too much for anyone to handle.
Many times, as the person in charge, Karura has to lend a hand before people can turn the wheel over.
Regardless of whether she was tired or not, her hands had become whitened from applying facial masks dozens of times in the past few days.
——At this time, talking about cutting in line or working overtime after get off work, isn’t that just nonsense?
Even if it is your own husband, such a request is unforgivable!
Under Karula's death stare, Luo Sha fell silent.
He shrank his neck, trying to reduce his presence.
Alas, ever since Karura was promoted to the head, my family's status has been in danger...
Although it doesn’t seem to have been that high in the past... No, it was still better in the past. After all, he was the main source of income for the family and the head of the family!
"Excuse me……"
Just as the couple was dealing with internal issues, the voice of an outsider came from the door.
Luo Sha recognized the voice almost immediately. He was a little happy at first, and then he said:
"I'm sorry, today's appointments are full..."
"Master Yuyue, please come in."
Before Luo Sha could finish his words, he was interrupted by Karula's surprised voice.
At the same time, the instep was hit hard by the heel - as we all know, the smaller the force-bearing area, the greater the force.
The power of this attack made Luo Sha's face turn pale on the spot.
Then his wife, who had just given him a deathly stare, changed her expression to a smile and greeted him.
"What project does Lord Ugetsuki want to do? We can all do it."
Facing Ugetsu, who is not only the representative of the Sand Village but also her savior, Karula smiles as brightly as a blooming flower.
"Are you busy ?"
Yu Yue vaguely saw some scenes in the lounge - it seemed like someone was lying on the ground?
"No, not that busy."
Karula quickly closed the door of the lounge, blocking the scene of corpses strewn all over the place.
Yu Yue was also very happy when she saw Karura in front of her, who had a rosy complexion and was full of energy.
"Are you in charge now?"
"Yes, thank you all for your kindness." Compared with the past, Karura has gained a little more confidence. Becoming the person in charge has greatly improved her mental state and self-confidence. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Do you need a massage or skin care?"
"Ah, I wanted to get some products...the scar removal cream and facial mask I mentioned earlier, do you still have them?"
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
Karu paused.
"How do you want to use it? Do you need other special tools?"
"Special tools?"
Hearing this, Yu Yue became interested.
This was something that wasn't available when we started production together.
“Yes – it’s a tool we simply made based on feedback from use.”
Karula took out a small box, opened it, and then gave a very professional explanation.
"For example, this spoon can effectively prevent the temperature of your fingers from affecting the paste, and it will be cleaner to use."
"This is a cleaning cloth and cleaning solution. Our specially formulated cleaning solution is gentler than other cleaning solutions and will not irritate the affected area."
“And this membrane.”
As she spoke, she took out a roll of strange cloth made of a material between a bandage and plastic wrap from the small box.
"After using the cream, cut the corresponding size of this mask and apply it on top, which can make the cream more effectively absorbed."
Ugetsu's eyes widened.
I really never expected it.jpg
The ninjas are really dedicated. She hasn't said anything yet, they have even developed the matching accessories.
?
This initiative is too strong.
However, Garuru was a little embarrassed to say: "These are actually improved products of medical ninjas... but when facing customers, we always say that we made them."
Whether it is for sale or not is mainly because the Sand Village provides on-site service, which is cleaner and more efficient than touching each one with hands - you can't have customers come here specifically to do it, only to end up doing it themselves at home, right?
So they held a meeting together.
"If you don't think it's appropriate, we won't do it..."
"No, no, no, these are all good, please stick with them."
Ugetsu quickly interrupted Karura.
"Please persevere and provide customers with better and more complete services, which is our goal."
Also more profitable.
Although equipment is not the only basis for judging professionalism, when you have too many fancy things, it will give people a sense of superiority.
Of course it is also true that it can produce better results.
Ugetsu hadn’t originally intended to do these… but since the ninjas had already worked so hard to make them, then it could be a whole series of cinema products.
She touched her chin.
"Shisui, remember..."
"Okay, the production and use of auxiliary products, right? I will remember to remind you later."
The boy responded skillfully.
Although he had just finished his first exam, Uchiha Shisui quickly got into the work state of an assistant.
The reaction was so fast that even Pharmacist Kabuto, who was half a step slower, couldn't help but be amazed.
So angry.
I thought this guy's participation in the Chunin Exam was an opportunity, but I didn't expect him to come back so early. He was still alive and kicking, and he didn't even take a rest and just stuck to Miss Ugetsuki again.
And the reaction is so quick!
You really don't give others any chance at all.
Pharmacist Kabuto pushed up his glasses.
Others say that Miss Ugetsu cannot do without the 'genius' Uchiha Shisui.
But in Kabuto Yakushi's opinion, it should be the Uchiha who are sticking to Miss Ugetsuki.
Really...
"pocket?"
"Ah, yes."
Even though I was distracted, it was just multitasking, not a difficult thing.
"I see. We need to add ice sculptures to the rest area of ​​the beauty treatment department. How much does it cost?"
When would be a good time to deliver it?"
He withdrew his thoughts and began to think about the work that Miss Yu Yue had asked him to do.
He already had a rough idea in his mind about how to place an order with Bai, whether to complete it on site or send someone to transport it, and it all depended on Miss Yu Yue's final needs.
So what if you just grabbed it quickly?
I still have to continue to take part in the Chunin Exam.
Of course, the various project arrangements during the event were carried out by those who 'did not need to leave'.
Although I came here to 'observe'.
But apart from watching the game, everyone else was busy.
Except for Shiro who has the irreplaceable special bloodline limit - ice making, everyone else is running back and forth on different jobs.
Help out in the store when the Ugetsu branch in Sunagakure is busy.
If the store is busy enough, some people will be assigned to take charge of tasks such as moving, inventory, and delivering information (promotional activities).
Even Orochimaru is the same.
In addition to completing his work as the leader of the ninja team, he was also perfecting the improvements to the new technology at night, as well as optimizing the preservatives commissioned by Tsunade.
It should neither affect the efficacy nor cause harm to the human body (mainly the skin), and at the same time it should be able to extend the shelf life of the mask.
It really is a colorful and black commission.
If it wasn't Miss Yu Yue who issued the commission, even his old teammates would have been kicked out by him just for this request.
Who has the time to study something so difficult and useless?
No matter how much Orochimaru loves research, it doesn't mean he is willing to invest his energy and time in any project.
Just as a few people were discussing, a little head popped in from outside the door.
Noticing that the person inside the door included not only her beloved mother, but also Miss Ugetsuki whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the owner of the little head - Temari immediately ran in happily.
"Ms. Yu Yue!"
Temari, who has started ninja training, is much taller than before, and her body has become slimmer and no longer round.
"You are...Temari?"
Yu Yue blinked and took a moment to connect the lively girl in front of her with the girl who had fainted from crying before.
"Yes!"
Temari was overjoyed to hear that Miss Ugetsu still remembered her, and she picked up the basket in her hand on the spot.
"I brought some snacks, would you like to eat with me, Miss Yu Yue?
? "
"Sister, wait for us."
After she finished speaking, Kankuro, who was left behind, walked in, pulling Gaara, who was younger than him.
Compared to the hurried Kankuro, Gaara was much quieter.
Even though she staggered a little when her brother pulled her, she wasn't angry, she was just a little shy.
Seeing so many people around, I subconsciously stood behind my brother.
But after a few seconds, he couldn't help but look over curiously. A pair of big eyes blinked as if asking, "Who are you?"
"This is……"
Yu Yue looked at the two children, especially the youngest red-haired boy.
If she's not mistaken...
"This is Kankuro and Gaara."
Karura picked up Gaara and smiled at Ugetsu.
"Gaara, Miss Ugetsuki is our savior."
"Savior?"
The chubby red-haired boy repeated it after his mother.
"That's right. If it weren't for Miss Yu Yue, I probably wouldn't be in this world right now."
Karu does not shy away from talking about the difficult childbirth she experienced.
She often tells Gaara about this.
But this was the first time he had seen Miss Yu Yue since he was born.
"Thank you, my benefactor."
Gaara thanked him with his clumsy words.
He couldn't even say something as complicated as 'My mother's benefactor is my benefactor'.
But he had already made up his mind to classify Miss Yu Yue as one of his own.
When he is able to do so, he will definitely treat her well.
Anything is fine.
"It's really Gaara."
Yu Yue looked at the fair and tender boy in front of her happily.
This was the first child she had witnessed being born in her two lifetimes—and it was a child that almost resulted in a difficult birth.
I am really happy to see that he is so healthy now.
Even consider the children's supplies and educational toys.
After being born safely, one must also grow up happily.
Well, I'll study it more with Jiraiya when I get back - only one "Young Hero" is still too little.
I don’t know how his writing of “Ninjutsu Shoujo” (Magical Girl) is going.
I shouldn't be lazy.
Seeing the boy in front of him tick the last item on the list, Xiaonan's tense body finally relaxed.
With this, this batch of orders is officially completed.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Uchiha Itachi bowed to the young woman in front of him.
"No, this is what I should do."
Xiaonan paused, then said "thank you for your hard work" to the young man in front of him.
Although she herself has been displaced since childhood and has suffered a lot, she does not think it is natural for her children to work.
But anyway, she can rest today.
As for the rest of the work… let’s talk about it tomorrow.
In fact, Xiaonan didn't plan to stay here at the beginning.
On the contrary, she was planning to go back directly after finishing Miss Yu Yue's commission.
But I never expected that there would be so much work.
Although Miss Yu Yue also stated that these were personal orders from those people, not her commission.
But... if you have money, why not make it?
Does this have anything to do with who commissioned it?
Of course not.
Of course, you should earn all the money you can.
So Xiaonan used Yu Yue as an intermediary and took on commissions from various places.
Paper support items are fine, and non-paper ones...that's not impossible.
It's just a matter of pretending anyway.
Xiaonan can add all kinds of disguises to her "paper". As long as the boss can say it, she can make it look good.
It's not a big problem.
So she stayed there day by day.
I was thinking of leaving after completing the last order tomorrow, but now I simply don’t think about it anymore.
I left at the right time last night - I'll have to find a way to make money if I go back anyway, so I might as well make the last bit of money here.
She believed that her companions would understand her hard work.
After all, the family's situation is really not enough to make ends meet.
well.
Xiaonan didn't want to do that, but she had no choice.
But who can blame her for the fact that, except for her, no one in Akatsuki is good at making money?
That guy A Fei has been saying before that he wants to persuade a ninja with a good financial sense to join them, but I don’t know if he succeeded.
If this continues, Xiaonan feels that she will be sold to Yuyue Store.
who
The Yu Yue Store has been their most stable and generous source of funds in the past few years.
Other people.
No store that makes a lot of money is as stable as Yu Yue's store.
It is more stable than Yuyue Store, but the money given is not as generous as Yuyue Store.
It's also very helpless.
"So these are additional orders."
After checking the order and reconfirming the quantity, Uchiha Itachi took out the additional order.
Xiaonan: ...
Okay.
It's all money.
She took the new order wearily and glanced at it hastily.
Then the final total number made my breathing slow down.
Just then, the boy took out another box.
Xiaonan looked at the box, then looked at the boy.
Ask questions with your eyes.
"This is a consolation gift for you."
As he spoke, he opened the lid of the box.
"Is this... ice?"
Although there were fruits and syrup on top, Xiaonan still recognized the true appearance of the white stuff underneath.
"Yes, it's the new milk ice from Ugetsu Store. Because it's more difficult to make, it's only supplied internally now." Uchiha Itachi told him everything that Kabuto Yakushi had given him.
To optimize the speaking skills.
Pharmacist Kabuto is really an expert.
He always manages to turn his original 80% rhetoric into a 120% effect.
Although he is still young, he is already destined to be a future master of rhetoric - Yu Yue even considered for a time whether he should let him go out and become a lecturer.
Although he has strong administrative skills, how can you tell that being a lecturer is where he truly belongs.
Whether it is internal training or external publicity, he is an expert at it.
"Although Master Konan doesn't live in the store's staff dormitory, Miss Ugetsu has always treated you as a member of the store - such an internal product naturally cannot be left out of you."
Xiaonan was stunned for a moment.
It even took a while to get back to the feeling.
At the same time, a warm feeling involuntarily passed through my heart.
What should I do? She was really touched.
She even felt a little guilty - Miss Yu Yue treated her as her own, but she only treated Yu Yue Store as a money-swiping machine.
Really...
The still young Xiaonan has not become completely cold-hearted due to the passage of time.
In addition, the mind is more fragile when tired, and this blow completely broke through the defense line.
For a moment, she wanted the boy in front of her to tell Miss Yu Yue that she only needed to pay the original price in the future.
There's no need to multiply it several times.
But the painful reality of the organization's daily deficit prevented her from expressing her emotions further.
What is the original price...where can they match it?
The moment Miss Ugetsu's original price is revealed, the organization will go from being in deficit to being heavily in debt.
So she could only suppress her feelings deep in her heart.
Then decide, next time Miss Yu Yue entrusts me with something.
She'll come faster.
The total amount...maybe increase it a little bit.
For example, if Miss Yu Yue asked for one thousand copies, she would make one thousand and eleven... one thousand and two hundred copies or something like that.
You have to do it anyway, so doing a little more won’t make you much more tired.
Xiaonan made up his mind secretly.
"Then I will come to visit you again at this time tomorrow."
After completing his work, Uchiha Itachi did not stay any longer. Instead, he bowed and left after his companions who came with him put the inspected support items on the cart.
After leaving Xiaonan's residence, Xinzi and Tianma, who had traveled with him, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Working at Ugetsu Store is really not easy."
The more lively heart sighed with emotion after a long sigh.
Being busy is one aspect.
The person I faced was really scary.
For example, when the 'Miss Xiaonan' just now had a blank expression on her face, Xinzi didn't even have the confidence to speak a complete sentence, let alone hand over the work to her.
Tianma also nodded.
A pretty sister is a pretty sister, but she is also really scary.
Uchiha Itachi tilted his head when he heard this.
Will it?
"I think Miss Xiaonan is quite easy to talk to."
As long as it is work-related, the other party is very attentive and careful. If there are any problems, they will correct and negotiate carefully.
To be honest, he is much better than Lord Jiraiya (at least at work).
If Uchiha Itachi had to choose, he would still prefer to work with Miss Konan.
"ha……"
Pushing the cart
Tianma curled his lips.
“I really don’t know how you make that judgment.”
I always feel that the criteria used by Yuyue Store to judge people are a little bit off from their common sense.
Well, maybe a little more than 'a little'.
"It's just normal..."
While Uchiha Itachi was speaking, he stopped.
Not only that, his brows were also furrowed.
"What's wrong?"
Xinzi looked over curiously, but seeing Uchiha Itachi's expression, she also became serious.
"enemy?"
She moved closer to Uchiha Itachi.
“…I don’t know.”
Uchiha Itachi responded in a very light voice.
It just felt like someone was following us.
It wasn't a coincidence that we got together, but it's been going on for a while.
As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi lowered his hands, ready to fight at any time.
Tianma was a little slow and also took a few steps back, forming a back-to-back triangle formation with Uchiha Itachi and Kokoro.
Uchiha Itachi's terrifying observation skills are still very trustworthy.
If he says there is someone, then there must really be someone.
At the same time, he still had a little doubt: "This is the outer city of the Sand Village. Is there really someone who would take action here?"
The Sand Village is one of the villages without adults. Aren’t you afraid of retaliation from the Sand Village if you attack here?
"I don't know... huh?"
Before Uchiha Itachi could finish his words, he realized that the aura that was supposed to be following the three of them had disappeared.
It was as if the feeling just now was just his illusion.
The young man frowned and observed carefully for a while, but still found no clues.
“It’s gone.”
"What's missing?"
"The person who just followed us."
Uchiha Itachi said this, but there was no relief on his face.
"Stay alert... and go back quickly."
It would only be more dangerous to stay here. It would be better to go to the area of ​​Yuyue Shop as soon as possible. There are many ninjas there and they can handle anything.
"good."
The three of them quickened their pace and left in a hurry.
Until the three of them left completely.
The man who had erased his presence finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Most of the man's face was covered by a mask, with a ninja forehead protector representing the Takigakure Village on his head. He looked like an ordinary Takigakure ninja invited by the Sand Village.
But if a powerful ninja were to look, he would find that his forehead protector was a disguise.
In fact, it should be the forehead protector of the "rebel ninja".
The man looked at the red-eyed girl who was still struggling while he was holding her neck.
It was a close call. We were almost discovered.
He shook his head and sighed.
Oh, why is it so difficult to make money?
