Chapter 12 Uchiha's Wavering
Later, when she mentioned it to her good friend, Uzumaki Kushina, who had bright red hair, Uchiha Mikoto also looked helpless.
Unlike Uchiha Mikoto, who spends most of her time in the Uchiha clan's territory, Uzumaki Kushina knows more about the situation.
"You're talking about the Sugar Syrup Battle, right?"
"Tangxi... a battle match?"
As for what syrup is, Uchiha Mikoto knows.
After all, Itachi had brought it back before, saying it was a product of the store, and had even seriously shown her how to play with it.
But then again, isn't it just candy that you can play with? How does it have anything to do with class?
"Ahh." Uzumaki Kushina gave a teasing smile.
"That's because, of course, Itachi is teaching."
Uchiha Itachi, the 'master' of the sugar syrup shop, was a reputation even she knew.
To be honest, if she didn't feel that it was inappropriate for her to participate, she would have wanted to learn from Itachi.
How cute is the little boy who teaches others seriously.
Although she prefers the lively and cute side of children, this mature and steady look is also very attractive.
"You always hang out in the Uchiha clan territory, so you may not know that Itachi is now the most popular technique teacher among the children."
“Is that so?”
"That's right, don't worry."
Uzumaki Kushina patted her friend's shoulder vigorously and said with certainty.
Uchiha Mikoto looked at her friend who had a look of certainty on her face, and accepted the answer dazedly.
After returning home, she couldn't help but tell her husband about it.
"…I didn't expect Itachi to get along so well with the other kids."
As an Uchiha, Uchiha Mikoto certainly would not have any opinion about the family, but as a mother, she certainly hoped that her children could live a good life.
After all, it's better to be welcomed than to be excluded.
"It seems that Miss Ugetsu is really amazing."
Uchiha Mikoto was grateful from the bottom of her heart to the person who took care of her son.
"Um."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
He didn't talk about it like his wife did, but his affection for her was no less than hers.
"Let's ask the security team to go over there more often when they patrol."
Although the leaves
Although there are no particularly evil people, there are many who steal petty things or like to take advantage of others and cause trouble.
As the Konoha guard force, the Uchiha still has a certain deterrent power.
Miss Yu Yue has achieved such success at such a young age, and some people might be jealous.
If they go around more often, I believe those people will be more restrained.
Uchiha Fugaku thought about it while making a new work plan.
However, what no one expected was that his plan would drag Uchiha into the emerging "claws" of Tangxi.
As we all know, the Uchiha clan is a very proud clan, and their pride is reflected in every aspect.
Bloodline limit, strength, the identity of the founding ninja clan of Konoha Village and the security force.
To put it simply, they exude an aura of 'I'm awesome, I'm strong, and as the largest clan in Konoha, I cannot be weaker than others'.
Even when they were transferred here for patrol, they still had an air of "the boss has arrived".
Of course they knew about trendy things like sugar syrup, and they even knew that there were Uchiha working here.
But they didn't take it seriously.
After all, it's just a piece of candy that you can play with, what's so great about it?
Rather, making such a big scene for a piece of candy is just a waste of time! Ordinary people can do that, but the Uchiha definitely won't.
That’s right, Uchiha is so arrogant and strict!
Until they were ridiculed during an altercation during patrol.
That's right, the Uchiha, a famous family of Konoha and the owner of the bloodline limit of the Sharingan, one of the three major eye techniques , was ridiculed for "not knowing the sugar syrup technique".
"What do you mean by disdain? You just don't know how to do it."
"You're just boring no matter how you open your mouth. Have you ever played it? How can you have the nerve to comment if you haven't played it before!"
"Do you really know how much technical content is involved here?"
"That's right, how to shape the syrup while it's still soft, how to use the time when the syrup starts to harden... How dare you say that when you don't know anything!"
"That's right, do you know how hard it is to make the syrup reach the state you need, and how much technology and science are involved?!"
Uchiha…Uchiha was dumbfounded.
Isn't this just a piece of candy that can be played with? How did it rise to the level of technology and science?
What's going on here?
But
If he was stumped by such a question, he would not be an Uchiha.
The Uchiha answered immediately.
"So what? Didn't the Uchiha teach you the sugar syrup technique? We just don't want to invest too much effort in this area."
Uchiha Itachi! That's also Uchiha!
But others don't buy their story.
"Itachi-sama is Itachi-sama! Can you compete with Itachi-sama?"
"No way Itachi-sama knows it at such a young age, but you guys who are working don't know it?"
Although people didn't say "You guys are delicious" directly, their attitude and eyes revealed this meaning.
——This has stirred up a hornet's nest.
" How could I not!"
Following the shout of one Uchiha, the other Uchiha on patrol followed suit and made harsh remarks.
"Of course we do!"
"Not only can I, I can do it better than any of you!"
An Uchiha shouted with his neck stiffened.
"Then let's compete!"
"Let's compete!"
As a result, the entire Uchiha area was swept by a syrup fever.
They don’t necessarily all like to eat candy, nor do they necessarily really love the various ways to play with syrup.
But they were Uchiha.
Konoha's TOP Uchiha!
How can we fall behind?
As a result, the "syrup fever" in the entire Konoha was raised to a whole new level.
"Did you participate in the sugar syrup competition?"
"Do you know treacle?"
"Of course I know. He's the one who organized the sugar syrup competition, right?"
"Even those arrogant Uchiha are participating, so it must be amazing."
Humans are creatures that are very susceptible to following trends.
Three or five people can form a small trend, not to mention that there is already a wide audience, and then the much-anticipated sugar syrup competition of the old-fashioned ninja clan joins in.
Many people may not know why they started, but when they see people around them and those great celebrities doing it, they can't help but follow suit.
Of course, some people are opposed to this.
I think as long as sugar tastes good, it’s enough.
Toys... Aren't there plenty of toys? Why make such a fuss?
This kind of speech mainly comes from the elderly people everywhere.
As well as other toy shops or snack shop owners, the popularity of syrup has more or less had a certain impact on their business.
Of course, it won't cause any serious damage, but such a hot temper will inevitably make them dissatisfied.
However, under the premise that Uchiha also joined, all these speeches became "niche groups" and were criticized a lot.
"We just like it, what's wrong?"
"How amazing is this! If I succeed, I'll be the coolest kid on the street!"
"The clerk worked so hard to teach us, but he would be so lucky if he didn't hide it from other people, fearing that we would learn it!"
"After all, we just like each other. What does it have to do with you?"
Countless people were honing their skills, and the sales of Tangxi rose to a new level again, a level that surprised Yu Yue when she saw the sales.
——If this continues, she will be able to achieve medical freedom just by relying on syrup.
But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully.
After all, syrup is not like a toy like a yo-yo or a card that you can put away when you don't need it and take out when you need it. Its food nature means it is a limited-time consumable.
If you want to practice your skills with this, don’t you have to buy it repeatedly?
As a result, the trio, who were already very busy from dawn to dusk, became even busier.
When he was extremely busy, he couldn't even take a sip of water, let alone eat. Even the "training class" had to be taken in turns - there was no other way, if Itachi had to do it all by himself, he wouldn't even be able to speak, let alone train.
But even when three people took turns, their voices inevitably became hoarse.
Therefore, when they could keep silent, the three of them remained silent.
Every time you say a word, the pressure on the vocal cords increases.
Once the pressure on your vocal cords increases, it will be more difficult the next time you train.
No one wants to face this outcome.
As a result, the three people who were originally strangers inevitably became familiar with each other as quickly as riding a rocket.
What strangeness and vigilance? There is no such thing.
There is only long live understanding among the suffering workers.
What Uchiha or what the fourth generation's student.
Can they rest for an extra hour?
No, it doesn't exist.
If not, what's the point of distinguishing it?
In addition, the three of them are the best among the younger generation of Konoha.
There was no problem of who was holding back. Under the pressure of heavy work, the three of them quickly formed a "temporary team" and learned the "shift system" and "cooperation and division of labor" without any guidance. Their proficiency and tacit understanding were not inferior to those teammates who had cooperated for many years.
I never want to smell sugar again.
Kakashi sighed in his heart.
Even through the mask, the silver-haired boy could smell the sweet smell. Even he wanted to complain bitterly, but his throat was too tired to speak.
Kakashi Hatake was on duty today to explain the key points of sugar syrup techniques to the guests. As we all know, "teaching" is actually a physical job that "requires some skills".
Compared to brainpower, what is consumed the most is physical strength and patience.
Especially when facing students who just don’t understand.
The endless repetitive work is the most exhausting for people's patience and energy. And the teaching of sugar syrup skills is not like facing one's teammates or juniors.
There is also the option of 'If you can't make it work, just walk away and let him experience it himself'.
He could only talk over and over again, answer over and over again, and even help people correct their movements.
And this lecture lasted four hours.
I didn't even drink water in between.
Now that the shift has changed, he hurried back to make syrup to let Uchiha Shisui stand at the front platform so that Uchiha Itachi could get away to take over the explanation.
How come he didn't know there were so many people in the village?
No, that's not right. I should say, how come he didn't know that the people in the village were so welcoming?
And those Uchiha - you are Uchiha! How can you come to join in the fun? Don't you have your own commercial street and are fully self-sufficient?
As someone who had partnered with the Uchiha, Hatake Kakashi felt that he had a say in this matter.
He originally thought that Obito was already an outlier among the Uchiha.
I never expected that the Uchiha could have such a side to them.
Although it was not yet his turn to give lectures to the Uchiha, just preparing the syrup they needed and dealing with their strange tempers was enough to make him tired.
I really don't know how Shisui and Itachi can remain so humble and gentle in this environment.
As Hatake Kakashi was thinking, he became distracted.
But he almost immediately shook his head and cleared out all these things.
If the syrup is burnt, he will have to
Start from the beginning.
It would only take more time, although boiling syrup was better than torturing his vocal cords and patience outside. But he really didn't want to teach Tang Xi another minute.
Finally, the sun sets and the orange-red light covers half the sky.
Kakashi Hatake breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally freed.
Although there was no fighting, his vocal cords, arms, and even waist and legs almost didn't belong to him anymore.
I have to go back and rest early.
As he thought about it, he took off his apron.
We have to prepare early tomorrow morning before dawn. If we don’t rest early, we may not be able to hold on.
Just as he was quietly arranging his schedule, Yu Yue walked in with a bunch of things.
Looking closely, it was a pile of identical papers.
Ugetsu smiled when he saw Hatake Kakashi in the room.
"Great, I was just looking for you - here are the registration forms."
“…”
Kakashi Hatake had a vague feeling of foreboding.
As she spoke, she diligently placed the thick registration form on the empty table. Then, while rubbing her sore shoulders, she said to the silver-haired boy:
"Let's get these all sorted out before tomorrow, okay?"
…
No problem - what the hell!!
