In order to ensure the fun, Yu Yue does not plan to make this event too long.
After all, it’s just a sugar art event, not the World Cup or the Olympics.
People don't have the patience to do this even if it takes ten days or half a month.
But trying to do it all in one day wouldn't be fun either.
After discussing with the people from Konoha and Ugetsu Store, Ugetsu scheduled this event for the day.
In this way, there will be competitions and tastings every day, plus snack displays and sales, as well as various activities in Konoha, which are enough for tourists to spend a fulfilling day.
"And there's Xiaonan..."
"Miss Konan replied that she has already set off and should be in Konoha in the next two days." The golden assistant continued, "She told Miss Ugetsuki not to worry and said that she would definitely not delay our work."
Don't consider issues like identity.
Uchiha Shisui also admires Miss Konan very much and thinks that she embodies the 'Ugetsu spirit' of the Ugetsu Shop.
Be hard-working and strict with yourself.
No matter what the situation is, no matter how severe and difficult the task is, I will not make excuses or justifications, but try every possible way to remedy the situation.
"Xiaonan is also working hard."
Although Xiaonan would not openly talk about the affairs of 'Akatsuki', after all, they have worked together for many years, and Yu Yue knows some of the situation.
For example, Xiaonan came from a difficult background, and now he is running an organization with his companions.
——But at the moment, the development of the organization is not going smoothly.
"It's hard to develop smoothly with such unreliable companions."
Ugetsu also sighed when he thought about what happened during the Chunin Exams.
"That's right."
As a ninja, Uchiha Shisui has a deep understanding of this.
Although he would not despise the strength of his companions, if he really encountered a teammate who was unable to lead him, the difficulty of the mission would increase by one level.
Therefore, the examinations to determine whether a ninja is capable of performing a mission and whether he or she can take part in the Chunin Exam are very strict.
In Yu Yue's view, Xiaonan was like a single mother who was struggling to raise several untalented children.
Hard and helpless.
"But as outsiders, it's hard for us to say anything."
But for those doing business, the most taboo is to interfere in other people's affairs (especially those of business partners) based on personal subjective judgment. If it succeeds, it's fine. But if it fails, then you will be the bad guy who sows discord.
It’s hard to say whether it will be good or not by then, but the hatred is definitely set.
——We can only give her more opportunities to work (and earn money).
For the ten thousandth time, Ugetsu was thankful that he had the foresight to choose Uchiha Shisui as his helper.
If she also met Xiaonan’s companions.
Ugetsu closed her eyes.
Just imagining it, I feel like my blood pressure is out of control.
"That's Xiaonan's kind heart."
If you don't have a kind heart, who would earn money and use their own pocket to support a companion who is a burden?
Anyway, if it was Yu Yue herself, she would have kicked him out long ago.
——Of course, except for the boss’s nepotism.
That is the secret to fleece the boss. If used well at the critical moment, it will be more useful than any PPT or qualifications.
Of course, that only applies when you know how to use it.
Ordinary people should not think about such complicated operations.
Uchiha Shisui has become accustomed to Yu Yue's occasional strange remarks.
Not only will I not find it strange, but I can also roughly fill in my mind the causes and consequences that she didn't say.
For example, this time, he was probably expressing his admiration for the fact that Miss Konan actually used her own money to subsidize the organization.
As the person who has stood closest to Yu Yue for all these years.
Uchiha Shisui thought that he was still about 70% accurate in guessing Ugetsu's thoughts.
No, maybe it’s because Miss Ugetsu is too easy to understand.
Uchiha Shisui smiled even more gently.
Although he is only a teenager, as a ninja, he is different from those students born in modern society.
The troubles of students on campus are nothing more than study and interpersonal relationships, and occasionally there are some who are particularly troubled and conflicted. But most of them will not exceed this range.
Most of the news I heard was gossip between students or teachers.
Occasionally, if someone were to have a two-timing affair, it would be big news.
But Uchiha Shisui is different.
When he was just a child of age, he had already mastered the skills of killing.
When others were still in kindergarten, he had already started going to the battlefield with adults.
I've seen a lot of people deceiving each other and killing each other.
Looking at Yu Yue again, it is like a clear stream in the chaotic world.
Although she can be cunning at times, she has never been evil.
In this world full of fraud and pain, it is truly a very rare but precious existence.
So Uchiha Shisui has always had a sense of responsibility.
——Of course, Ugetsu also has a similar sense of responsibility.
Ninjas, especially Shisui, are good everywhere.
It's just that they are too naive and too easy to be deceived.
How can it be possible that people would trust others just because they are deceived?
Even without mentioning his outstanding work ability, just considering how much help he has provided to her in the past, Yu Yue cannot let him be fooled by others.
It's just like Miss Xiaonan. Not only does she have to work hard, but she also has to spend her heart and soul to subsidize the family... How can that be possible?
It’s scary to think about it.
...You still have to put in a lot of effort. x2
"Oh, right, the mint and dried flowers for tea from the Kingdom of Flowers..."
"Someone has been sent to get it again."
Uchiha Shisui quickly collected his thoughts and retrieved relevant information from his mind.
"Lord Orochimaru went there himself, don't worry."
That’s right, in order to express his importance, Minato Namikaze specifically entrusted this matter to Orochimaru.
As a research enthusiast, Orochimaru never expected that this job would fall into his hands.
He has so much work to do, so he doesn't have time to run around.
In fact, in Orochimaru's opinion, he is not needed at all this time.
Not to mention that few people intercept goods from the Kingdom of Flowers.
Just talk about the large-scale purge that was carried out by a joint search team formed by the Anbu of each ninja village two days ago.
After a team of this size investigated without missing a single clue, this road is now safe and no one would dare to pick up a wallet if it dropped.
But considering that it was a job for the Ugetsu Shop after all, and it would also allow the Fourth Hokage to owe him a favor.
Orochimaru agreed anyway.
But I still felt a little unhappy in my heart - why did that group of people have to intercept the work of Yu Yue Store when there were so many other things they could do?
Not only did they cut it, they also threw it away as weeds.
The same goes for the ninjas that were sent out. They were so busy tracking down the real culprit that no one thought of going to the Kingdom of Flowers to make a new one and bring it back to Miss Ugetsuki?
This is really a dead end.
Orochimaru just walked away with a sigh.
With emotion, he started a mission that would make Jiraiya and Tsunade shout "Me! Let me go!"
Without any delay, he brought back the goods that Yu Yue needed.
The beverage development manager, who came from an orphanage, counted the materials, and after confirming that they were correct, he began making the new product - speaking of summer, wouldn't mint, which has a cooling feeling of its own, be the perfect choice?
Mint candy, mint water, mint ice... What flavor is more suitable for summer than mint?
That's right, the new summer products that Yu Yue Store is going to offer are not what people think, relying on its own 'unlimited ice power' to exclusively sell ice products.
Instead, it launched the mint series at the right time - although there was mint here in the past.
But basically people use it as a spice or medicine.
There is no such thing as a 'mint flavoured' food.
After Yu Yue found out about this, she felt that this was a huge waste of mint, so she immediately started developing a mint flavor.
After investigating and selecting various mints, we finally chose a mint from the Kingdom of Flowers.
It’s edible, rich and refreshing, and it’s exactly what they wanted.
Now that we have the important raw materials, it’s time to finalize the preparation and production.
The person in charge of beverage development is a former companion of Pharmacist Kabuto. Although his mind and wisdom cannot be compared with Pharmacist Kabuto, it was developed by him after all. After seeing and hearing it, he also has his own set of words:
"Now Yuyue Store is making continuous progress in all aspects. It has been a long time since our beverage development department has had a shining moment."
He looked at his companions solemnly.
Among them are children who were born in the orphanage together, as well as children and employees who came here later for various reasons.
“So this is our chance to shine! We must let Miss Yu Yue see the power of the Beverage Development Department. We must not become a drag, and we must not let people say contemptuously, ‘Oh, that’s the . Do you have confidence?”
The young and strong people who were eager to prove themselves could not stand this provocation and immediately responded loudly with full of energy:
"have!"
"Louder, do you have confidence?"
"have!!!"
"Okay! Then let's start the final adjustments now! Group according to the original plan and start working!"
"yes!!!"
The young people who were aroused by their passion quickly rushed to their respective posts. Their passion was so high that people from other departments even wondered if they had eaten something they shouldn't have.
Otherwise, why are you suddenly so excited?
I didn’t know, I thought you won the lottery…
“The people in the beverage development department are all in good spirits.”
Might Guy, who was still in the Ugetsu Shop, liked this spirit.
He immediately put on a struggling pose:
"That's right! Work! That's the kind of passion we should have! Come on! As young people, we can't lose!"
"oh!"
It's like an infection.
The burning spirit of struggle suddenly spread again in the Yuyue Store.
From Might Guy to Daisuke, and then to the partners in other stores.
Almost instantly, the enthusiasm of all the employees in the Yuyue store rose.
Then this enthusiasm spread to the Yuyue Store.
It even affected Konoha, which was co-organizing the event.
After all, your partners are working so hard and so passionately. If you still procrastinate, it will just make you seem useless.
Konoha is the most famous of the five famous ninja villages in the world.
As a 'role model' among ninjas, it is certainly impossible for anyone to find fault with his work.
Okay, you work hard, right?
Then I will work harder than you.
...But how to work hard?
After all, there is only so much work to do, and it seems that there is nothing special that can be done to encourage them to work hard.
But it's okay, it's just a minor issue.
Nothing can stop the invincible ninja.
If they can't do the job individually, why don't they unite and do the work together?
You add a little, I add a little.
Isn’t it out now?
So some people went to repair the site - such as leveling the ground, cleaning the roadside, and adding signboards.
Some people also prepare props.
Speaking of food tasting, there must be separate stalls.
Wouldn’t it be better if they provided tables, chairs and sheds for all the stalls?
Merchants can bring their own signs and promotions, but Konoha can handle the rest.
When it comes to activities, another thing that must be taken into consideration is, of course, safety.
So the person in charge found Uchiha Fugaku again.
"You want me to increase the number of patrols?"
"To be precise, we should increase the number of patrols and arrange guard shifts at the same time."
Uchiha Fugaku frown
It's about to be twisted into a knot.
According to the way he uses it, even if there were one-tenth as many Uchiha clan members, it would still not be enough, right?
What do you mean there's an Uchiha guard standing in every row?
One in a row, listen to me, is this human language?
Even the daimyo's guards don't have so many Uchiha.
The person in charge certainly knew what was meant by Uchiha Fugaku's death gaze, but he did not back down:
"Isn't that... Uchiha is the hallmark of Konoha."
He tried to explain.
"We have to let the guests feel Konoha's sincerity, right!"
?
Uchiha Fugaku slowly typed a question mark.
Our Uchiha Street has been open for several years. Are you now talking to me about your sincerity towards our guests?
"Look at how passionate the people in Ugetsu Store are. As a partner, we in Konoha can't be outdone, right?"
The person in charge decided to go all out and directly brought up the Yu Yue Store.
"But if you're talking about money or projects, we can't compare to Ugetsu's store. So the only thing we can offer is ninjas."
"When it comes to Konoha ninjas, it must be 'Uchiha'!" The person in charge looked at Uchiha Fugaku eagerly, "Just tell me, right?"
Uchiha Fugaku: "..."
Can he still say it's wrong?
But having one Uchiha in a row is too exaggerated.
They are also responsible for the security of the entire Konoha, so it is impossible for them to put so many people on guard.
“…Only ten.”
Uchiha Fugaku compromised.
"Ten with Sharingan?"
The person in charge looked over eagerly.
Uchiha Fugaku: ...?
Do you think the Sharingan is like cabbage that you can pick at will?
Those who can open their eyes are a minority of elites among the Uchiha.
but……
Looking at the expectant eyes of his old comrade who had fought side by side with him for many years, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't say "no" with all his heart.
He can only compromise
"…Among the ten people, there are two tribesmen who have opened their eyes."
There really needs to be two people to support the scene.
"Then there must be at least five, right?"
The person in charge tried to bargain.
"Then forget it."
Uchiha Fugaku doesn't get used to him.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the person in charge immediately became anxious.
"No, no, no, let's have two. Two is good, that's a deal!"
The person in charge ran away while saying this - fearing that the other party would suddenly go back on their word.
That's the Sharingan. Even if it only shines for a day, it will be shocking enough and enough to prove Konoha's sincerity.
The person in charge was even a little proud.
He felt that if it weren't for his life-and-death friendship with Uchiha Fugaku, no one else would be able to get such treatment.
The person in charge is very proud of it, although he won't tell everyone about it.
But he also boasted about it to his family.
"If it weren't for me, they wouldn't be able to come, not even ten Uchiha, let alone an open-eyed Uchiha!"
He was really proud of it.
In the past, the relationship between the Uchiha and the village was tense, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't say anything - the affairs of the village and the Uchiha were not something that could be interfered with by an outsider like him who had little say.
He could only sigh.
It’s better now.
The Uchiha are not only responsible for Konoha's security, but are also one of the pillars of Konoha's tourism industry.
Together with the village, they can achieve prosperity together, and they don’t have to worry about being caught in the middle anymore... How wonderful.
Until the day he saw Uchiha Fugaku talking to Ugetsu during the construction of the competition site.
"Security at the competition site? Of course, that's the responsibility of us Uchiha."
Before Yu Yue could make any request, Uchiha Fugaku patted his chest and agreed.
Not only that, he even took the initiative to increase the stakes:
"We plan to arrange six tribesmen with open eyes here, divided into two shifts to patrol all day, and will never let go of any safety hazards!"
The person in charge of Konoha: "..."
His wife turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows:
"A life-and-death friendship... oh?"
——This is a life-long friendship.
It doesn't seem to be that important.
The person in charge had mixed emotions.
Kakuzu once again received work from Ugetsu - in fact, to be more precise, it should be said that he intercepted the 'order' that Ugetsu sent to Takigakure Village.
Yu Yue, who has tasted the sweetness of large-screen live broadcasting such as the "Mirage Technique", will certainly not let such a good technology go to waste.
Although the specifications and importance of the sugar art competition
Sex is definitely not as good as the Chunin Exam.
But it is a 'world-class' competition after all, with contestants and their supporters from all over the world.
Then it has to be seen clearly and satisfyingly, right?
So she placed another order for the Mirage Technique.
Kakuzu also happily cut it off.
Good, the wealthy sponsor has placed an order again.
What Takigakure Village or not - when he was working, those young guys didn't even know where they were.
So the corners were taken and felt at ease.
Although he personally has some connections with Konoha Village, that is all in the past.
People can't let things in the past delay making money today, right?
After figuring it out, Kakuzu walked into the big change with his head held high.
According to the arrangements of the ninja village in the past, Konoha should have been more lively towards the center and more deserted towards the periphery.
But since the Ugetsu Store occupied an entire street to set up a workshop, and had to accommodate helpers from various ninja villages, plus annual activities, the outer area of ​​Konoha is now more lively than the interior.
After all, the interior was planned out in the first place.
In addition, there are the clan lands and administrative buildings of each ninja village.
There really isn't anything that can be changed.
But the situation is different in the outer areas.
There aren't many important facilities here, and although there are residents, the density is not very high.
In addition, there is no clan land or other places that involve ancestral issues here, so after some coordination, the residents accepted the arrangement of changing location.
Therefore, special planning can be carried out according to different needs.
This area is divided into production areas.
That side is divided into the reception area.
The back can also be used as a display area.
With all this, the guests must have a place to stay, right?
There must be a place to eat or buy things, right?
Gradually , the surrounding areas also developed.
The corresponding supporting facilities are becoming more and more complete.
Although such a place looks very un-'ninja village', the people in the village make money and the foreign tourists are satisfied...so who would care whether it looks like a ninja village or not?
No, there are people who care.
It’s just that I’m still recuperating at home…it’s no use having any opinions.
Who would care about a person who needs to be "cultivated" all year round?
What are your opinions?
A new emperor appoints new ministers. Now is not the time for his teammates to be the boss.
Although Minato Namikaze always looks carefree.
But I know everything in my heart.
He has his own ideas about what to do and what not to do.
Whether it is Konoha or other ninja villages, they are now at a critical moment in moving towards a new path - and who this "key" is is self-evident.
In this case, he certainly wouldn't do anything to offend others.
Therefore, although some high-ranking "elderly people" still have the status of "adults", they have limited rights and resources available.
Then it's really incomparable.
Kakuzu completed the check-in procedures - if it were him, he would certainly not be willing to spend this money in vain.
After all, when it comes to accommodation, it doesn’t matter where you live.
Isn't it enough to just find a tree hole or branch?
But as a 'technician' specially hired by Yuyue Store, Yuyue Store provides accommodation.
...Of course he won't be polite then.
Anyway, he can't exchange it for money if he doesn't live there, so wouldn't he be losing a lot of money if he doesn't live there?
Kakuzu would definitely not do such a loss-making business.
So the corner is not only to live.
I also plan to use all the free services in it to the fullest.
——As long as he uses it enough, it’s free money.
Just when Kakuzu finished checking in and went upstairs, two little rascals suddenly passed by him.
Ninja kid.
He made this judgment from an angle, then turned his eyes away without interest and continued to go upstairs.
Two kids and no money to earn… it’s pointless.
After Kakuzu left, a blond boy and a black-haired girl also came to the front desk and said they wanted to check in.
The hotel receptionist was stunned. Of course she appreciated the two cute children. Of course, there was no problem with checking them in, but...
"Where are the adults in your family?"
Whose child is this?
She even looked around for fear that she had missed the children's parents. It's not that there were no children who came to the front desk to check in, but they were always accompanied by adults.
"We are the adults."
The blond boy said confidently.
"Can……"
"There is no age limit for ninjas."
The blond boy continued.
"That's right, for a ninja, age means nothing, strength is everything!"
The girl also responded.
"Heitu is right!"
The boy immediately followed.
"We have plenty of money."
As he spoke, he casually took out a stack of money.
Not to mention accommodation, even booking a hotel would be enough.
front desk:……
Whose child is this! ?
What's wrong, sir?
The hotel receptionist still looked hesitant.
The blond boy——Deidara knocked on the table impatiently.
"I'm here to participate in the sugar art competition. Can you arrange accommodation for me? If not, we'll just leave. Don't waste my time."
He also needs to check out the venue in advance and start practicing early to get a feel for it.
Why would we waste time here?
In order to prevent themselves from being caught by the adults in the Iwagakure Village, he and Kurotsuchi had been traveling non-stop all the way and had barely been to many cities, let alone buying syrup to practice - although Deidara felt that there were only five people in the world who were better than him in syrup making skills, the necessary practice was still necessary.
Otherwise, if I fail because I’m unfamiliar with the skills, wouldn’t I be laughed at to death?
He, Deidara, came here to become famous.
I'm not here to be a laughing stock.
Front Desk: ...Okay.
If we say that they are ninjas who came to participate in the sugar art competition, then everything will be normal.
The ninjas who come to participate in the sugar art competition are more or less a little bit "special".
The hotel receptionist quickly checked them in, then watched the two children go upstairs. She then quickly switched shifts with her companions to find the person in charge.
Even if they are ninjas, they are two children from other places... For safety reasons, I should go and tell the person in charge.
The person in charge who received the news: …
He quickly confirmed again: "You said it was a blond boy and a black-haired girl, right?"!
