Faced with enthusiastic businessmen, Yu Yue will naturally not treat them coldly - although it is not a vertical field, everyone has cooperation.
When we make money together, of course we want it to be good for you, for me, and for everyone else.
So after a while, Yu Yue's arms were filled with all kinds of enthusiastic feeding.
The pace of inspections is getting slower and slower.
There's no way, there are just too many people around.
With so many people talking, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
It's getting bad.
Yu Yue was chatting and laughing with the men and women around her, while sighing in her heart.
Miscalculated.
I didn’t expect to be noticed at first sight… and I didn’t expect people to be so enthusiastic.
Although most of the people who work with Yu Yue are very enthusiastic and attentive.
But this was the first time that so many people gathered together and surrounded the place.
This made it impossible for Yu Yue to move forward. She could only stay here and watch as more and more people came to her, making it increasingly difficult to escape.
"…Ms. Ugetsuki, what do you think?"
"No, no, our approach is better."
"Ms. Yu Yue, please try it. My new product is absolutely amazing! If we promote it, it will definitely become popular all over the world!"
"Bah! You're old enough, have some shame!"
When there are too many people, and everyone is trying to elevate themselves and kick their competitors down, friction will naturally arise.
"Boss! We are out of stock! What should we do?"
Just then, an anxious young female voice suddenly rang out.
Because no names were mentioned and they were very close, most of the people surrounding Yu Yue quickly turned their heads away.
Not enough goods?
You can't say that at this time.
This is the best way to communicate with Miss Yu Yue...
Um?
"Ms. Ugetsu?"
When people turned around, they found that Miss Ugetsu, who was supposed to be standing in the middle of the crowd, had disappeared without a trace.
"Where is Miss Ugetsuki?"
“I didn’t see it.”
"Neither have I."
The merchants who stayed behind discussed the matter in amazement for a while, but after looking around for a long time, they could not see Yu Yue. They could only disperse in disappointment.
After all, they gathered together for Miss Yu Yue, in order to find more and better business opportunities to make money.
.
Now that the 'opportunity' is gone... I might as well go back to my business.
At least make the money you have now.
Money is so cute, much better than these insidious and cunning guys.
Some dessert shop owners who were already in competition or conflict looked at each other, then turned away in disgust.
"snort."
The crowd gradually dispersed, and everything at the tasting session seemed to have returned to normal.
"call."
Yu Yue, who was pulled to hide behind a pillar, patted his chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the two of them were hiding behind a nearby pillar leading to the rest area, leaning against the visual blind spot formed by the pillar and the people around them.
Just now, Yu Yue didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being noticed and surrounded by others.
"Ms. Ugetsu is really popular."
Uchiha Shisui, who rescued the person at the critical moment, said with a smile.
"Don't say it, it's just an unprovoked disaster."
She leaned back and relaxed.
I originally wanted to lean against the pillar and relax.
But what touched his back was not a cold icicle, but a warm human body.
"Leaning on the ice isn't good for your health."
The curly-haired boy who half-blocked Yu Yue with his body said with a smile.
"Miss Ugetsu, Shisui."
The expressionless boy also returned.
"Itachi, did your voice just change?"
When she saw Uchiha Itachi, Yu Yue thought of the anxious voice just now, which sounded like that of a real shop clerk.
"I learned a little bit."
The boy who was asked pursed his lips a little embarrassedly.
This was also the first time he used this voice changing technique.
And the voice became female.
——That’s right, the voice that was anxiously calling out to the boss just now came from Uchiha Itachi.
The purpose is to attract their attention and give Uchiha Shisui the opportunity to take the person away.
The result was just as they both planned.
One attracts people's attention, and the other jumps down from above to pick the person away.
This was the plan they made after noticing that Yu Yue was surrounded. Originally, the two of them were shopping at various stalls according to the plan.
But as ninjas, they would certainly notice the unnatural situation at the scene - so the two of them
They all looked at the crowd, mainly at the place where the shop owners were strangely gathering.
Then I saw Miss Ugetsuki who was surrounded.
At first, Uchiha Itachi thought that Miss Ugetsu was negotiating business with someone again, and he just felt admiration.
But Uchiha Shisui shook his head and took the initiative to find Uchiha Itachi:
"Ms. Ugetsu is in trouble."
Uchiha Itachi:! ?
How can you tell this?
The young man looked at her a few more times in disbelief - Miss Ugetsu, who was chatting and laughing with others, didn't look like she was in any trouble at all.
But Uchiha Shisui said with certainty:
"Ms. Ugetsu is already getting impatient."
"Maybe he's entangled and can't leave... We have to go and help him."
Uchiha Shisui didn't dare to say anything else, but he could probably read Miss Ugetsu's expression.
Although the other party looked relaxed and didn't seem to care.
But in fact, I'm already getting impatient.
Didn’t you see that there was no smile in my eyes?
Eyebrows... eyebrows also frowned 0.1 cm.
How could anyone not see such obvious impatience and unhappiness?
It was completely unnoticeable that Uchiha Itachi was still confused, but he trusted Shisui's judgment, so he nodded:
"How can I help?"
"We are like this..."
The curly-haired boy leaned over to Itachi Uchiha's ear and quickly told him his plan.
The plan is simple too.
Uchiha Itachi was responsible for attracting people's attention, while Uchiha Shisui was on standby on the beam in advance.
Once people's attention is drawn away, he will jump down at the speed of light, pick them up and take them away.
The movement was so fast that even people's vision couldn't process it.
Even if someone noticed it, they would just think it was a flash in their eyes, not that two living people disappeared just like that.
This is why Yu Yue suddenly disappeared from the spot and people couldn't find her no matter how hard they looked.
“It’s been a great help.”
Yu Yue said with a smile.
"Otherwise I really don't know how to get out of this situation."
——I’m actually in a dilemma.
Uchiha Itachi exclaimed.
At the same time, I also admire Shisui's keen observation skills.
I am still far from it.
Responsibility
Uchiha Itachi, who was also extremely ambitious, was immediately aroused to learn again.
No, he has to work hard too.
Try to see the essence through appearances at a glance!
Yu Yue:?
Why do I suddenly feel like something is burning?
Uchiha Shisui continued as if he hadn't noticed anything:
"What did Miss Yu Yue originally want to do? I'll go with you."
"Nothing much." Yu Yue scratched his chin, "I just came to see what's going on at the food tasting event."
After all, this is the first year that the theme mode is adopted, and Yu Yue feels that she still needs to go to the scene.
I just didn't expect this to happen.
"Why not come with us then?"
The curly- haired offered.
"Itachi and I bought a lot of food - let's go to the rest area first to try some. There aren't many merchants there, so the situation just now won't happen. Miss Ugetsu can also continue to observe."
"Speaking of which, where are the others?"
Uchiha Shisui asked again seemingly casually.
"Um?"
"Yakushi Kabuto and the others, why is it only Miss Ugetsu who is alone?"
Speaking of this, Uchiha Shisui frowned.
Although Konoha is safe, how can this be possible if no one is with Miss Ugetsuki?
In just the short time that Miss Yu Yue gave herself to 'give herself a break', such a huge mistake could be made.
How can Uchiha Shisui feel at ease to hand over Miss Ugetsuki's affairs to others in this way?
"Pharmacist Kabuto has gone to coordinate other work."
Yu Yue didn't think there was anything wrong.
There are ninjas everywhere - especially at the various venues, there are Uchiha ninjas watching over them. What could go wrong?
At most, it was like today, when we were surrounded without realizing it.
The rest area for the tasting session was also crowded.
But after all, we were the organizer, so we still managed to find a place with few people to eat and drink.
"Come."
Uchiha Shisui handed a palm-sized milk puff to Ugetsu.
"Thanks."
Yu Yue watched the lively food tasting session while taking big bites of the milk puff in her hand.
"How about it?"
The taste is good, but...
"Too thick-skinned."
Puffs that can't hold the filling are fake.
Puffs!
"Where's Itachi?"
"He was unwilling to give up, so he went to queue up to buy the three-color dumplings."
Uchiha Shisui pointed in a direction.
Behind the crowd is a shop that specializes in selling various kinds of dumplings.
Yu Yue squinted and looked in the direction of his finger for a while, but there were too many people and she didn't have the terrifying eyesight of a ninja, so she had to give up.
Forget it.
Ugetsu turned around and noticed the things around him.
All kinds of snack packaging bags were placed around them, which showed how strong the fighting power of the two Uchiha was.
Yu Yue didn't think it was strange that the two boys bought so many sweets. She just felt a little guilty, maybe 0.1g.
"I'm sorry, I disturbed you."
How can a worker meet his boss when he likes to take a break?
Especially you have to help the boss solve problems.
"How could that be?"
——It is obvious that Uchiha Shisui is not an ordinary worker.
Not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he was very happy that he could help her out of the predicament.
"Rather, I'd be happy if Miss Ugetsu could come along."
The boy responded with a smile.
Yu Yue looked over when she heard that.
The boy who grew up a lot not only grew a lot taller.
His face has also gotten rid of the baby fat of the past and has become handsome and generous - one can vaguely see the outline of his adult self.
Such a face coupled with omnipotent strength and an expression that could not be more sincere.
"It's better to say less such things in the future."
——She really doesn’t want her golden assistant to end up being a flirtatious central air conditioner without realizing it.
I don't want to see him trapped in love affairs and unable to extricate himself one day.
"What?"
"Just happy."
"Why? I really think so."
The boy tilted his head and blinked his big black eyes, which were dotted by Uchiha, in confusion.
His expression was so genuine and certain, as if this was the most natural thing in the world for him.
Dark but bright eyes.
When he looks at someone intently, it's as if the person in front of him is his whole world.
——How scary.
I never expected that the other party had such potential to be a romantic hero.
"In short,
It’s best not to say such things to others casually.”
"How could that be?" The young man smiled innocently, "Because it's Miss Yu Yue, I said that."
Yu Yue was silent.
This is...
Even if you are a top-ranking employee, is it really okay to sincerely say such flattering words?
Doesn’t your conscience hurt?
However, before she could reply, Uchiha Itachi, who had finally bought the tri-color dango, nodded affirmatively.
"That's right, Shisui isn't the kind of person who would say that to anyone."
Although Uchiha Shisui is capable and good-tempered, he seems to be able to get along with anyone.
But actually it’s not.
Uchiha Itachi felt that he could guarantee this.
So Ms. Ugetsuki doesn't have to worry about Shisui saying such things to other people, or running off with someone.
Yeah, that's right.
"So Miss Ugetsuki doesn't have to worry at all."
Uchiha Itachi nodded secretly in his heart.
"Yes, Itachi is right - and we Itachi are also such a dedicated person." Uchiha Shisui hooked his arm around Uchiha Itachi's neck while speaking, and asked with a smile, "Isn't that right?"
"Yes."
Uchiha Itachi also nodded seriously.
Apart from anything else, he can guarantee that he will be loyal.
As ninjas, they were always single-minded in their mission.
Yu Yue looked at the two Uchiha, one big and one small.
He burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?"
The two Uchiha looked at Ugetsu with similar expressions.
I have no idea what made the other person laugh.
Yu Yue quickly shook her head: "No, it's just... I suddenly thought of something funny."
——It’s amazing that they can continue the conversation when they are talking about completely different things.
The junior category of the Sugar Syrup Competition, which was in full swing, finally reached the finals.
After fierce competition, the remaining contestants will decide the winner today to unveil the champion of this year's Sugar Syrup Competition.
Although the second and third place are also very remarkable results.
But in a competition, what people care about most is of course the 'first place'.
Especially for a profession like ninja where the average person has TOP cancer.
That means there is nothing else in his eyes except the first place.
"You stinky boy!"
The Tsuchikage, who finally found some time, went up and hit Deidara on the head.
"You two suddenly disappeared, are you trying to scare me to death?"
Tsuchikage was so angry that he grabbed one of his ears again.
Do you know what an elderly person is?
The elderly are people who have reached an advanced age and have all kinds of problems, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, back pain, and osteoporosis.
"Your ears are going to fall off! Damn it! How can you look like an old man?"
How could an old man grab someone's ear and it hurt so much, and there was no way to dodge it.
"Besides, we clearly left a note!"
"How dare you say that! Do you know that messages can be forged ? How did you learn the ninja course?!"
"How could it be so easy to forge it? If someone from the Iwagakure Village sneaked in and replaced the note, all the patrolling ninjas in the village might as well explode!"
“Besides, it’s their fault that they didn’t notice us sneaking out…Ahhh, it hurts so much, old man!?”
It's okay as long as Deidara doesn't say anything.
When it came up, the Tsuchikage and the guards who came with him became furious.
The former is because I hate you for trying to shirk responsibility.
The latter is...
Okay, so it was you who caused all the brothers to have extra training?
Because it would not be a glorious thing for Deidara and Kurotsuchi to sneak out under the heavily guarded Iwagakure Village, and if the information was leaked, it would also increase the danger for the two children.
So when sending people for additional training, the Tsuchikage simply said it was routine training.
But now that it has been said, how can people not understand?
The case is solved, the culprit is here.
——At first they thought that they were obsessed with all kinds of interesting little things and the Tsuchikage couldn't stand it anymore.
Seeing his senior brother being scolded by being pulled by the ears, Heitu dared not say a word.
He immediately shrank his neck and hid in the corner.
"Heitu, don't think you're okay."
But who is the Tsuchikage?
That’s Heitu’s biological grandfather.
While holding Deidara's ears, he turned around and yelled at Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi: ...
What's the matter? Can't you just forget about me?
Isn’t it said that people’s memory gets worse as they age?
After training
Deidara finally managed to get his ear back.
While rubbing his ears, he moved away from the Tsuchikage and that disloyal junior sister - damn it, we were sneaking away together, why are you the only one who ran so fast?
“Ahem.”
Looking at Deidara's expression, the Tsuchikage cleared his throat.
"…How about it, do you have confidence?"
The topic changed so quickly that Deidara was a little slow to react:
"What confidence?"
“It’s number one.”
The Tsuchikage glanced outside.
There are also very strong players in the youth group, but when it comes to honors, the more the better.
He couldn't help but frowned: "Don't tell me that you want to participate in the competition even if it means sneaking away, just to take home a participation award?"
Then he really has to beat this naughty kid again.
If you want to run, just run. How can you not even have a little pursuit?
That's it.
Deidara's eyes almost rolled up to the sky.
"Of course it's no problem."
He even shook his legs.
"Except for that Uchiha brat, the others are nothing to watch."
——In fact, there are still two or three very strong ones.
But compared to those two or three people, he and Uchiha Sasuke were the ones who really had a conflict.
It must be these two who will fight to the end.
"That's good... No, who taught you to underestimate the enemy? You can't let your guard down until the last moment. Go back and copy the Ninja Code a hundred times!"
"Hey, hey! Are you crazy?"
That’s a hundred times!
Do you know how many times a hundred is? Don't just say it!
Before the Tsuchikage could get angry and give him another "Heavy Love from the Master", the powerful voice of Mitarashi Anko was heard outside:
"Dear guests, thank you for your waiting! The finals of the Junior Group of this year's Sugar Art Competition and the Ugetsu Cup Sugar Syrup Competition are about to begin. Now, please invite the contestants to enter!"
——Here it comes.
The boys and girls who had been waiting for a long time looked sharp.
What they have been waiting for for a long time is either to prove themselves to the world or to exit in disgrace.
In this final.
At this point in the competition, those who can stand here are all real masters with real skills.
The contestants from different ninja villages listened to the outside
Cheering, and starting the final preparations before going on stage.
Some of them held their hands and muttered something silently.
Some people also close their eyes and simulate in their minds the work they are about to present.
Of course, there are also farewells to relatives and friends.
Uchiha Sasuke stood up under his brother's gaze.
"Sasuke, you..."
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you are not the first.
Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment and wanted to speak to comfort his brother.
He never made such demands on Sasuke, nor did he feel that he had to have any qualifications to be his younger brother.
But he always felt that saying this would discourage the children's enthusiasm, so he hesitated and didn't say it out loud.
This time, he was finally ready to say it, but was interrupted by Uchiha Sasuke.
“I will definitely come back with first place.”
The little boy straightened his back.
"I will solve your brother's problems!"
Uchiha Sasuke's face, which still had baby fat, was full of seriousness.
There is even a spirit of desperate struggle.
Uchiha Itachi: ...
I don't know how to say this.
Uchiha Sasuke saw his brother looking at him intently, and felt even more that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
We must not lose this battle no matter what!
With the audience cheering, the contestants walked onto the field one after another.
“Boys and girls from different places with their own unique skills will show their best style here!”
As the game progressed, the Mirage Jutsu and Mitarashi Anko's commentary were all in full swing.
"Gold and silver! It's actually a production method that interweaves gold and silver! Everyone knows that syrup is originally amber in color, and it takes a lot of stirring to turn it into silver, but contestant No. 7 actually completed such a workload at the beginning!"
"Expand! Expand! Contestant No. 3's syrup has expanded into a balloon! Oh my god, it's so thin and it hasn't burst yet, how did he do it?"
"Oh! The blond contestant number four is not to be outdone! He actually uses both hands to make different shapes! So fast! He has finished the small piece so quickly!"
"Oh my god, this is the fastest speed in this sugar syrup competition!"
The powerful voice of Mitarashi Anko brings stimulating commentary to the audience time and time again.
But at the same time, her voice and praise also brought considerable pressure to the contestants on the stage.
Some of the already anxious and nervous contestants couldn't help but start making mistakes.
Although they are just some minor mistakes, they can make those with a sharp eye realize one thing.
That is the mentality of the players, which began to gradually collapse.
The final result, rather than relying on technology, depends on whether the players can adjust in time.
But adjusting your mindset is not that easy.
Finally, as another contestant used a wonderful technique, someone finally made a big mistake.
One of them accidentally hit the part he had made earlier when shaking the syrup.
The heavy syrup thrown on it directly destroyed the previously completed shape.
The man was stunned on the spot.
My mind went blank and I didn't know what to do.
Although he tried to remedy the situation, how ingenious could the remedy be in such a panic?
Watching the mistake made by the person in front of him, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but tremble.
He was also under a lot of pressure - no, it would be more accurate to say that because he had the responsibility to solve his brother's troubles, his pressure was much greater than that of others.
As an Uchiha, as a younger brother who has made a promise to his favorite older brother.
How could anything go wrong for him?
Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth. He knew that he should put aside all distractions and concentrate on his work.
But he couldn't control himself and his eyes slipped to the other contestants.
Looking at those works, some grand and some exquisite, he felt a chill in his heart.
——Competition does stimulate people's potential, but it has always been a double-edged sword.
While it inspires some people, it will also discourage others.
Especially when he saw that Deidara had already completed many parts, Sasuke's heart was in turmoil.
No.
Don't scare yourself.
I haven't lost yet!
Uchiha Sasuke was cheering himself up, but he couldn't help but replay the scene of the person who made the mistake in his mind.
The irreversible shape and people's stares...
Everyone is watching their own failure.
I am in Konoha, in the Uchiha base.
In full view of the public, they were completely defeated.
What will everyone look like?
Brother...how would my brother look at me?
one
Thinking that Uchiha Itachi might be looking at him with disappointment, he denied himself.
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes turned red.
But the more afraid he was, the more he kept thinking about it.
For some reason, the following scene appeared in my mind:
After I failed, all my friends turned away from me.
When people met him again, they all had a smile on their faces, but after he left, they would turn around and whisper:
"That's the Uchiha who failed in public..."
even……
On a dark and windy night, his most beloved brother not only looked at him with disappointment, but even turned away in front of him who was crying and saying sorry, leaving only a cold sentence that made Sasuke's blood run cold:
"You disappoint me so much. I don't have a brother like you."
The little boy was so frightened by his own imagination that he froze in place, and even the movements of his hands stopped.
The semi-finished syrup also collapsed as a result.
Watching the amber sugar liquid gradually covering the fruits of his previous labor, Uchiha Sasuke became even more devastated.
The scene of the person who had made the mistake before kept repeating before his eyes - the scene that he had imagined before seemed to be about to come true.
For the first time since his birth, Uchiha Sasuke tasted the bitterness of despair and helplessness.
He subconsciously wanted to turn to his relatives and friends for help - no matter what happened in the past, they would always stand by him.
But as soon as he looked up, he realized that he was on the court.
This is his game and no one can help him.
"I don't have a brother like you. You are just a burden."
The voice that Uchiha Sasuke feared the most sounded in his ears again.
"No!!!!"
The boy bit his lip and blood flowed down his lip.
He was in pain and despair.
But because she was on the field, she couldn't even cry out loud, and could only use the slightest sound to make the sorrow from the bottom of her heart.
If it really... really turns out like that, he might as well die!!!
Uchiha Sasuke, who was desperate and terrified but unwilling to let it end, suddenly felt dazed, and then he found that his vision was clearer than ever before. The whole world was even clear to the point where every detail was visible.
Especially the syrup that is collapsing in front of me.
Although the upper part collapsed
It looks terrible.
But Uchiha Sasuke suddenly stopped panicking.
Not only was he not panicking, he also felt that he had unprecedented control over the syrup that was taking shape in front of him.
The status of each location and the problem each location have been clearly displayed before your eyes.
——He knows how to work hard!
It was like suddenly opening the door to a new world.
Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and simply tore down everything except the bottom layer and started over again.
Not only that, he also quickly took out a larger amount of syrup.
Originally, Uchiha Sasuke was unable to master the production of such a large amount of syrup.
Weight, viscosity, and varying degrees of hardness and softness will greatly affect its performance.
Rather than trying to do something big, it is better not to push the limit and perform within your best range.
But now.
Uchiha Sasuke clenched the bamboo stick in his hand tightly.
He felt that he might be able to challenge the work that existed only in his imagination.
Uchiha Sasuke devoted himself to the creation of new work, but the audience was in an uproar.
"Oh, the pressure from a competition of this magnitude is too much for a young child. Look at that child, his eyes are red from crying."
The audience who noticed Uchiha Sasuke shook their heads and sighed.
It's like mourning the death of a genius.
As soon as he spoke, the people around him looked over.
Red eyes? What red eyes?
"…They really turned red! Wait, do your eyes turn red after crying?"
"What's turning red? That's the Sharingan!"
Some ninjas who were attracted by their words also looked over.
Then he was dumbfounded on the spot——
That's not a child crying.
That's Uchiha's eyes opening!!
