The Kirigakure ninja was shocked.
The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village couldn't believe it - they even felt that this was a completely different world.
Although they have cooperated with other ninja villages, they have also been to Konoha or Sand Village to carry out missions.
But going there occasionally is completely different from living in it.
Especially this consumption concept.
Just when several Mist Village ninjas were stunned, the Sand Village ninjas discovered their whereabouts.
Especially when I saw someone I knew there, my eyes lit up.
The Mist Village ninja who was targeted by him suddenly felt a chill on his back.
——I always feel like I’m being watched as a prey.
Is it an illusion?
But the next second, the ninja from the Sand Village ran over.
"Hey you!"
The eyes of the Sand Village ninja lit up.
"Are you interested in making some extra money?"
The Kirigakure Ninja slowly typed a question mark in his mind.
The mental state of the Sand Village ninjas.
Is it really okay?
——After the Sand Village Ninja explained his purpose, the Mist Village Ninja finally understood what he wanted to do.
But the more I understand, the more complicated my feelings become, and I begin to doubt whether the way the ninjas of the Sand Village think is really okay.
"You mean, you want me to help you queue up to buy the Frozen Dream Pack component that is limited to one person?"
"You guys, to be exact."
The Sand Village ninja responded quickly.
And his eyes quickly swept over several people.
I can tell from the look in their eyes that they are not the ones who will compete with me for the limited edition dream bag.
The Sand Village ninjas were calculating with their abacus.
People you don’t know are unreliable.
Among the people I know, people from the same village cannot be trusted - if it's something else, maybe we can discuss it, but the limited dream package... Sorry, we don't know each other then.
Don't say it was purchased on behalf of someone else.
If he dared to spread the news, people would flock to buy up all the stock.
So looking for ninjas from other villages, especially those from the Hidden Mist Village who, in their opinion, have almost no material desires, would be the best candidate.
The ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village think that the ninjas from the Hidden Sand Village are weird.
Similarly, the Sand Village also thinks that the people of the Kirigakure Village are extremely weird.
Isn't it okay to just make more money?
Is it necessary to be so fussy?
They came all the way to the Sand Village to complete missions, let alone buy local specialties.
They won't even spend money on a barbecue - how weird.
It is always easy for people to go from frugality to extravagance.
The ninjas of the Sand Village, who have become accustomed to the new life and new consumption, have established a world view and consumption concept that is completely different from the past in the past few years.
Looking back at 'Traditional Ninja', I feel like everything is wrong.
——But at this time, the "thriftiness" and "loneliness" of the Hidden Mist Village are both good things.
At least they won't steal things from me.
You can also use money to impress them and ask them to help!
"us?"
The Kirigakure ninja raised an eyebrow.
"Not me, but all of us?"
He pointed to his four companions.
"Yes, I'll pay that amount."
The Sand Village ninja quickly made a universal hand gesture that all ninjas could understand.
"All you have to do is get in line and buy me the Ice Dream Pack."
The ninjas of the Sand Village, who have a lot of work to do and often need help, have long been accustomed to various "outsourcing" work methods.
Isn’t purchasing materials on behalf of others also a form of outsourcing?
It's not a big problem.
The ninjas of the Sand Village have already mastered various flexible thinking techniques.
The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village looked at each other.
Although I think the Sand Village ninjas who did this have too much money and nowhere to spend it.
but……
Since there is money, why not make it?
"Okay, let's go then."
After a brief eye contact, the Mist Village ninja agreed to the deal.
But before they took the first step, the ninjas from the Sand Village stopped them.
"etc!"
"how?"
Regret it?
The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village naturally came to this conclusion.
"To be on the safe side, I think we should sign a document."
Although the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village are all eccentric people without material desires, who knows if they will not regret seeing this limited edition product that is like a work of art?
After hearing his additional explanation, the Mist Village Ninja said: "..."
You ninjas from the Sand Village, do you really have something?
It must be a serious illness.
——Who would regret it because of toys!
Isn’t it great to make money?
Even though I have thought a thousand times that the ninjas of the Sand Village don't look like ninjas at all.
But after all, he was the one who paid this time... The Kirigakure ninjas would never comment on their employer's plans. Naturally, they would not offend the Sand Village ninjas who were paying them.
The two sides signed an agreement.
Then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, it's finally over this time.
Even though the ninjas from Sand Village and Mist Village are weird, but with the written proof, there should be no problem.
Through this cooperation, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village earned extra money.
The ninja from the Sand Village bought several copies of their long-desired dream bags.
Everyone was very satisfied.
——It would be nice if there were more ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village.
The ninjas of the Sand Village even felt a little regretful.
No, it's not too late now.
He rolled his eyes, turned around and looked for the Mist Village ninja he had just traded with:
"Anything else?"
You can't regret it now.
The Mist Village ninja quickly took the money back.
"No, no, no, I don't regret it."
Although the Sand Village Ninjas are immersed in the joy of the limited dream pack components, they still have the necessary vision.
He quickly asked, and then put forward his mood request:
"I just want to ask if you have any other companions coming with you."
If you have any, please come and queue up to help buy them.
He even made the '￥' gesture.
The price is negotiable.
Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village: “…”
I often feel that there is something wrong with this world because I don't fit in with other ninjas.jpg
Just as truth cannot be hidden, the news of the limited edition products quickly spread to all parts of Konoha.
The people of Konoha, the tourists who came to Konoha, and the contestants all knew the news.
The ones who were most regretful, and even beat their chests, were the other ninjas from the Sand Village.
While they were beating him up, they had a friendly physical exchange with the first person who ran to buy and found a purchasing agent. At the same time, they also quickly took action to buy.
It’s a pity that all the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village have been taken by the first person.
But this can't stop the already g
etThe Sand Village Ninja who invented the magical method of "purchasing on behalf of others".
The people from the Hidden Mist Village are gone...so just choose someone else who can buy it for you.
As for the selection...
There's nothing to hesitate about.
Of course it’s the ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village.
Although they are all cooperating ninja villages, there is no shortage of people in Iwagakure and Konoha who like the Dream Pack. If we invite them, we might end up losing more than we gain, and instead ask them to find someone else to buy the limited components.
But the Hidden Cloud Village is different. It has always been famous for its fighting faction.
I'm definitely not interested in these gadgets.
Apart from the Hidden Mist Village which has no material desires, they are the most reliable!
That’s right!
So the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village found that they suddenly seemed to have become popular.
To be precise, they were suddenly warmly welcomed by the ninjas of the Sand Village.
Starting from the hotel where we stayed to the chance encounters on the street.
For a moment, it seemed as if all the Sand Village ninjas in Konoha gathered around them.
Their ways of greeting each other are also varied and strange.
There are people who actually know him.
There were also people who came from far away and said something inexplicable like "I worked with your father on a mission eighteen years ago, do you remember?"
I wasn’t born eighteen years ago!
Anyway, it seemed like it happened suddenly.
The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village have become "good partners" with ten thousand kinds of connections - God knows where they get so many "friendships" from.
But soon, the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village figured out the trick.
——These Sand Village ninjas who came here for no apparent reason are here to look for purchasing agents.
Ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village: “…”
The case is solved.
Some people who don’t care, just buy it. Although they don’t need the money, it’s not a big deal. Just consider it a favor.
But there are also those who are impatient and picky——
"What do you mean if I don't like this, why don't I buy it for you?"
Give me back the money - do I look like someone who is short of money!?
We are all working in an alliance together. Even if there are differences, how big can they be?
He's not a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.
So those who were more serious not only refused to buy the product on behalf of the customer, but went to buy it themselves.
At the beginning, they were not
I really like it.
It's purely to stimulate the ninjas of the Sand Village.
But when they got the real thing, they changed their minds.
I have to say, this little thing with ice added to it looks really good.
It’s not expensive anyway, so just buy it.
The Sand Village ninjas were about to cry as they not only failed to find a purchasing agent, but also had more competitors.
Why am I the only one so miserable?
"I told you a long time ago to go find the Hidden Mist Village ninjas. They have no material desires and are the safest."
"I did want to, but that guy got rid of it all!"
"Stupid, you can't pay extra to take on this urgent shopping mission!"
Someone gave some suggestions.
"They would have definitely found a way in the past."
"The people in the Hidden Cloud Village are very stubborn. Who knows if they will go against you?"
Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village: “…”
Ninja from Sand Village: "..."
For a moment, I really didn't know what expression to make.
Despite this incident, the sugar art competition still went on smoothly.
And this is the most attractive and eye-catching one.
Of course, there is still the part of the sugar syrup competition.
If you want competition, there is competition; if you want technology, there is technology.
There are sweat, tears and laughter - who doesn't like that?
So it not only occupies the largest arena, but also the most spectator seats and the broadcast of 'The Art of Mirage'.
Before the game even started, the stands were already packed.
The retailers in the beverage department of Yuyue Store were actively mobilized and began to take action.
—Except for the stalls at the two entrances.
The most common ones are the retail clerks who walk around with retail boxes with shoulder straps.
There are always people who forget to buy, or are suddenly thirsty or simply want to drink something and place an order at this time.
"Mint ice drink! Anyone want a mint ice drink?"
"Mint lemonade! Mint orange juice!"
“Try out the new tasting, buy two cups and get 20% off, buy three cups and get 30% off!”
Maybe 'discounting' is really an eternal weakness of human beings. When hearing this, some people immediately raised their hands.
"I want two cups!"
"I'll have three cups - can I choose different ones?"
"sure!"
Retailer
They walked over with a smile.
They are all trained and experienced veterans - completely different from the old me who couldn't even open my mouth when facing customers.
Whether it's taking drinks or doing mental calculations to make change, everything is done very quickly and skillfully, and will never cause any trouble to the customers.
Just when people were busy buying or discussing, the broadcast suddenly sounded.
“Thank you all for participating. This year’s Sugar Art Competition, the Ugetsu Store Cup Sugar Syrup Competition is about to begin. Please return to your work stations. Please take your seats in the designated stands. Reduce unnecessary movement to prevent accidents. Audiences with children, please pay more attention to your children to prevent them from getting lost or injured.”
As she spoke, the stands gradually quieted down, but the stadium became more and more lively.
Contestants from all over the country went to different areas according to their groups.
Some people are full of energy, while others are nervous and worried.
Some people also noticed something special.
Deidara, who was sitting on a chair and shaking his legs like an adult, soon noticed that there was a person standing in front of him.
He looked up and saw his latest 'enemy'.
"you?"
"Let's fight it out."
Little Uchiha Sasuke raised his chin.
"Don't lose before I defeat you."
ha!
Deidara rolled his eyes and stood up.
"I'm the one who should say this. Don't cry just because you lost the audition."
Challenge me?
You're still early!
Little brat, go back and work hard for a few more years!
——If this is said to two teenagers in their teens or twenties, it would be quite interesting.
But if you put it on a child whose combined age is only about ten years old...
"puff."
Ugetsu, who was looking down through a telescope and listening to Uchiha Shisui's lip-reading commentary, was almost dying of laughter.
Sure enough, no matter how cruel it is, it will be particularly funny when it happens to a four or five-year-old child.
But then again.
"Is this really okay?"
She turned and asked Uchiha Shisui beside her.
"Um?"
The boy tilted his head.
"I mean, if these two people quarreled so much and really became enemies..."
"Then let's have a fight."
Uchiha Shisui said it lightly.
"When there are competitors, people will be motivated to improve."
Uchiha Shisui really didn't think this was a problem.
After all, things are different now than they were in the past.
It's not a blood feud, so what's the big deal about a quarrel and a fight?
Rather, if these were the only conflicts and problems between ninjas from different villages, then they should be happy.
After all, that means there will no longer be incomprehensible and incompatible blood feuds between ninjas.
They also don't need to allow blood and hatred to continue over and over again.
"ha……"
Yu Yue didn't think things would be that simple.
At least looking at Uchiha Sasuke's angry look, he must be feeling uneasy.
As a boss, Yu Yue doesn't want all his employees to work together - if he does, he might end up being a figurehead.
My orders are not carried out, and employees look out for each other and cover up for each other when something goes wrong... then what is the point of being a boss?
This is also why there are often one or two people in the company who are incompetent and hated by others.
Because that is the leader (not just the boss), who stays behind to stir up trouble in order to prevent the employees from becoming one with each other.
But then again, although the boss doesn't want to see employees working together, he also doesn't want any blood feud between them - otherwise, if one day someone deliberately messes up the work and ruins the business in order to cheat the other, the boss will be the one who suffers.
Yes, yes, both Uchiha Sasuke and Deidara are still children.
But don’t forget that Ugetsu’s partners are also based on ninja villages.
Then the new generation in the ninja village, rounded off, wouldn't it be equivalent to her future reserve employees?
The best thing would be like it is now, with individuals in each ninja village in a perfect state of dynamic competition.
Ugetsu likes the current situation of the ninja villages.
They are unwilling to give in to each other and try to suppress each other instead of acting for personal grudges.
Oh, being a boss is so difficult.
Yu Yue sighed, but soon she felt relieved.
After all, it is a problem between children.
Maybe they will forget about it in two years - anyway, Yu Yue can't remember the classmates she had conflicts with in school anymore.
Uchiha Shisui saw that Ugetsu's frown had relaxed and knew that she had thought it through, so he didn't continue to discuss the issue.
Instead, turn your attention back to the field:
"Look, they're coming in."
Just as Uchiha Shisui said, the contestants participating in the audition walked towards the positions with corresponding numbers written on the competition field.
The only difference is that unlike the past model of placing boxes of syrup around for people to take, now that they have money and people, Yu Yue Store provides contestants with a more convenient and quick way to use the syrup.
That is, a small table with a container of syrup is placed in front of each person's seat, so that the contestants do not have to walk around, but can complete their creations on the spot.
"Good! You can see that our contestants are all ready!"
In conjunction with the mirage technique unfolding in midair, the host, Anko, also began to explain.
“This competition will still use beauty, innovation and neatness as the three criteria for selection.”
"Wasteful behaviors such as sticking to hands or dropping on the ground will result in a large number of points being deducted. In addition, cheating behaviors such as adding other substances that will denature the syrup will result in direct elimination. Please keep this in mind."
——Let’s forget about some bloodline limits that can help shape the image, such as the Sharingan or ice and melt release that can accelerate the solidification or melting of syrup.
Anyway, the Ninja Team has a lot of work to do.
However, adding things like melting and acid release will change the properties of the syrup itself, which is cheating and should be absolutely avoided.
There was no such rule in the initial sugar syrup competition.
But as the sugar syrup competition became more and more popular, more and more people joined in, and more and more people had evil intentions.
So Yu Yue held several meetings with the ninjas and dealers of the ninja village and finally decided on this new rule.
It's OK to use bloodline limits or secret techniques to increase entertainment and excitement, but it can never be done by changing the material itself.
After looking around and making sure that all the contestants had heard him, the host cleared his throat:
"Then! I declare! The Ugetsu Shoten Cup Sugar Syrup Competition officially begins!"
As the host finished speaking, the contestants on the field quickly began to take action.
Uchiha Sasuke and Deidara, who were involved in this, used 120% of their strength to start the action.
It doesn’t matter if it’s others, but losing to that brat Uchiha Deidara is unacceptable.
I just said something harsh before!
"Oh! It can be seen that the contestants are very quick this time - it shows that each contestant is already familiar with the finished product they are going to complete."
Because the competition has been held several times, there are no longer contestants who are unable to overcome the sticky and soft nature of syrup and cannot complete even the most basic shapes like in the past.
Therefore, the competition became more enjoyable to watch - of course, since it was a preliminary round, everyone's goal was to 'pass the competition', and it was not yet time to show off their trump cards.
The shape is rare and particularly eye-catching.
But even so, people still enjoyed watching the various shapes being formed quickly, with the host explaining the various techniques.
"Oh! Contestant No. 33 actually stretched the syrup to the extreme thinness like blowing bubbles, forming a film!"
It was also fun to have Anko Mitarashi explain things - at least it was more fun than working in the teacher's production room.
As Orochimaru's work became more and more popular, Red Bean, as Orochimaru's only disciple, had an increasing burden on her shoulders.
Although Orochimaru, through extreme time management and a full understanding of Anko's abilities, always arranges work that is just within the (extreme) range (limit) that Mitarashi Anko can accept, it is still tiring.
Besides, working in the dark in the production room is so hard.
That's why when she heard that Miss Ugetsu was looking for a host for a sugar art competition, Mitarashi Anko ran to sign up.
Not to mention that she was once a contestant and a top player in her own district. Let's just talk about the atmosphere:
Hot blood! Passion! Happy!
If she didn't feel it again, she felt like she would become a mutated person like her teacher.
...Of course I can’t tell this to the teacher.
Mitarashi Anko shrank her neck, quickly discarded these useless thoughts and continued to explain:
"Competitor No. 2's movements are also very clever! It looks like a ball, but if you look closely you will find that it is actually countless layers of extremely fine silk stacked together!"
"Contestant No. 10... Wow! This delicate arc, is it going to be an arch bridge? Or a rainbow?"
Following Mitarashi Anko's voice, the Mirage Technique also cooperated very well by zooming in on each contestant, allowing people to clearly see the works and techniques she was explaining.
The audience naturally responded by exclaiming "Wow".
Hearing the exclamations and cheers from the audience , the contestants on the field
The participants are becoming more and more excited.
Some of the more lively ones couldn't help but show off some skills that they had originally planned to put aside for later, which drew even louder cheers from the audience.
The sound was so loud that it could be heard even outside the venue.
“The kids are so full of energy.”
The Third Tsuchikage, who finally arrived in Konoha, stroked his beard.
He felt even happier when he thought that their Iwagakure Village had a part in this cheer.
Everyone in their Iwagakure Village, young and old, male or female, is so outstanding.
Such cheers are only natural.
"The children of the Hidden Cloud Village must have won an overwhelming victory."
The Raikage was not to be outdone.
On the contrary, the Third Kazekage seemed very calm, even a bit nonchalant.
——But it’s not surprising that he would behave like this.
After all, the puppeteers of the Sand Village are known for their skills, and the Sand Village has always been among the best in the successive sugar syrup competitions.
Besides, the village is now prosperous and people live and work in peace and contentment... I have reaped all the benefits, so what's wrong with giving up this little bit of false reputation?
There was even a hint of sympathy in his gaze towards the other figures.
——Oh, how pitiful, he has to earn even this little bit of false reputation.
No matter where you are, even if you don't make any money, no one will look down on you. The technology (products) of the Sand Village are also sold all over the place.
Although the performance of the Third Kazekage was not obvious, the one present was a 'kage' at the top of the ninja world, who could not notice it?
It’s just that the development of the Sand Village in recent years is indeed enviable, and the puppeteer is really dexterous.
Even if the famous 'Red Sand Scorpion' is not participating, he will definitely get a good ranking.
……hateful.
The Tsuchikage and the Raikage exchanged sullen looks.
But they soon recovered their mood.
After all, if you really want to talk about it, isn't there someone who is worse off than you?
The two of them glanced at the person on the outside at the same time.
——It’s really miserable.
Then we have to talk about the water shadow.
The Fourth Mizukage: ? ? ? !
