Of course, the Hidden Mist Village does not welcome the fact that the Sand Village (Red Sand Scorpion) is also trying to get involved.
It was already annoying that a Hidden Rock Village popped up at this time, and now a Hidden Sand Village got involved...
So how can they, the Hidden Mist Village, prove themselves?
But in terms of technical reserves in various engineering construction areas... they are indeed inferior to others.
In the end, I couldn't say "no".
...Of course, it's not actually their turn to say 'no'.
The Fourth Mizukage could only summon the technical ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village who were relatively outstanding in terms of skills, and then repeatedly gave them instructions.
"Keep your eyes open and learn!"
"Forget about it this time, but we can't give other ninja villages the opportunity to interfere in the future!"
It is better to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost than not to mend it at all.
When faced with the people from the Hidden Mist Village, they opened their eyes wide and realized that they were the ones who wanted to steal my skills.
The Red Sand Scorpion just snorted coldly and didn't take it to heart at all.
Are you kidding? They have been researching puppet technology for so many years. If someone just stares at it and steals it, wouldn't all their years of research become a joke?
So not only did he not hide anything, he even kindly provided guidance to the people of the Hidden Mist Village - but when he was providing guidance, there were inevitably some things like:
"What, you don't understand this?"
'It's so basic, I don't understand how you could get it wrong'
"How can anyone forget something that is in the book after reading it?"
...and other spiritual dimensionality reduction attacks like these.
This caused several people from the Hidden Mist Village who came to cooperate with the work (and learn from others) to start to doubt themselves.
Am I really that stupid?
I used to think I was pretty smart, purely because the Hidden Mist Village was closed to the outside world.
Now that you are connected with the outside world, you realize that you are just a frog in the well?
The technician from the Hidden Mist Village has become autistic.
Until the end of the get off work day, he was still immersed in the blow of "how could anyone not know something that is taken for granted?", dejected and unable to recover.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Noticing that the technician from the Hidden Mist Village looked as frightened as a frost-bitten eggplant, an employee of the Ugetsu Store came over to him with concern.
It was fine before, why is it like this today?
What went wrong with the project?
"Nothing, just...
…”
The technician from the Hidden Mist Village didn't want to speak at first, but when he thought that the visitor was an employee of the Ugetsu Store, which was full of talented people, he suddenly changed his mind.
After all, Yuyue's shop is full of monsters.
They should be very experienced in the situations they encounter.
"It's just that Scorpion-sama's guidance before, I feel like I can't keep up at all."
——In fact, I feel like a fool.
"I see."
The employee at Yuyue Store had a look of understanding on his face.
The technician from the Hidden Mist Village's eyes immediately lit up.
There is indeed a way!
I have indeed met a companion!
"That's normal. After all, those people are real geniuses."
When the technician heard this, his heart warmed - it was true, it’s not that I’m so bad, it’s just that those people are so strong and so talented!
Just like those jonin and the Kages.
"But it doesn't matter, we'll just figure it out the second time!"
The smile of the technician from the Hidden Mist Village froze before it could fully bloom.
——Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
"Second time?"
"Yeah, if you don't understand it the first time, you will understand it the second time."
The man said this with a nonchalant expression on his face.
"So relax."
Technician: ...No, I can't relax.
If you don’t know something, then you don’t know it.
Even if you can learn it, it doesn't mean you will definitely be able to do it.
What you did is just like telling someone who got 60 points on an exam, "It's okay, you'll get 100 points next time."
The technician couldn't help but look at him as if he were a traitor.
I just felt like all the emotion and enthusiasm I just felt were wasted.
So this person is not a normal person.
Seeing the person who was just talking turn around and leave, the employee of Yuyue Store touched his head in confusion.
But he soon felt relieved.
——You are in such a hurry, maybe you want to go back to study.
Looking at the man's almost disappearing back, the employee felt that he understood something in an instant.
This ambition is amazing.
"What's wrong? You look so emotional."
Another Ugetsu store employee who was passing by looked at his colleague curiously.
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that everyone in the Hidden Mist Village is working so hard."
“I really like this atmosphere where everyone is working hard to improve themselves!”
I have to work hard to learn new knowledge when I go back today, and I can't let the people from the Hidden Mist Village overtake me!
They are Miss Yu Yue’s trusted employees!
After the initial confusion, Yu Yue's new project began to be laid out step by step.
Although the situation in Wave Country seems a bit bad, but because of this, many times they can directly overthrow it and start over without any worries.
A bad thing turned into a good thing.
In addition, there was the great support from the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Rock Village, as well as sufficient funds.
The entire Yu Yue Express project was reorganized faster than expected.
The leaders of Yu Yue Express have also made the decision.
"I...?"
Pharmacist Nono blinked in surprise.
Although she is also an old employee of Yuyue Store.
But most of the time he works as a researcher and Yu Yue's personal doctor.
This is the first time that I have taken on such a responsibility alone.
Therefore, not only others, but even Yakushi Nono himself was shocked.
"Yes, Ms. Nono is the most suitable candidate."
Although her specialty is medical ninjutsu, her sensitivity to information and control over personnel are what Yu Yue values ​​more than medical ninjutsu.
This is the first project that is not carried out under the supervision of the Ninja Village or the Ugetsu Store. In addition, there are a large number of freelance applicants. If there is no such meticulous person in charge, Ugetsu will really feel uneasy.
In fact, Kabuto Yakushi is also a good candidate, but he is still too young, and he is not the type who is abnormally strong and can subdue people with force. If he is put outside, it is inevitable that some people will look down on or neglect him because of his age.
After much thought, I think Yakushi Nono is the most suitable.
Seeing that Yakushi Nono was still hesitant, Yu Yue emphasized, "No one else can do it except you."
...I was asked so solemnly by someone I respect.
Who could refuse?
Pharmacist Nono suppressed his panicked expression and nodded seriously:
"I understand... I will do my best to live up to Miss Yu Yue's expectations and make Yu Yue Express truly bigger and stronger, and become a world-renowned transportation company!"
“I believe in wild
Miss Naiyu can definitely do it!"
Yu Yue waved his hand.
"Then let's move on to the first project!"
"yes!"
Pharmacist Nono immediately became nervous when he heard this.
"What is it?"
"...Of course it's the team building at Ugetsu Store."
After all, they came to the Water Kingdom for team building.
Now this is just a small 'accident'.
Although this 'little accident' was a bit larger in scale and involved more people.
But it doesn't prevent it from being just an episode in the team building of Yu Yue Store.
That’s right!
It’s just because the new project has just started, it’s impossible for all employees to take part, so Yu Yue flexibly divided the team building into two shifts.
Rotational work ensures that every employee can enjoy the team-building time.
This is also one of the reasons why Scorpion was specially called here.
Of course, the main reason is to transform the ships and install port handling equipment.
but……
Now that we are here, how boring would it be to just take a boat ride and eat seafood?
"So what you mean is, can we use the Desert Star as a model to transform it into a vehicle specifically for underwater travel and sightseeing?"
The red-haired young man summarized Ugetsu's requirements.
Sometimes Scorpion has to marvel at Miss Yu Yue's imagination.
——He always felt that he was a person with very bold ideas.
But it is still far from Miss Yu Yue's wild imagination and arrangements.
At least Scorpio has never thought of making a vehicle that can move underwater.
Of course the main reason is that ninjas have their own way of walking on water and do not need any special external force.
Another thing is that the Wind Kingdom, where Scorpion was also born, is full of deserts, and the water sources are basically oases and groundwater... The sea and things under the sea are too far away for him.
Naturally, I won’t bother with this.
But just because he wasn't interested in it in the past doesn't mean he won't do it now.
Not to mention what the underwater world is like, the difficulties and technical difficulties encountered alone are a brand new challenge for Scorpio.
Scorpio is never afraid of any challenge.
"What? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with puppetry?"
Then you really
It is too narrow.
Who says puppetry can only be used on small single puppets?
Besides, aren’t waterproof and pressure-resistant technologies universal?
So Scorpio happily took on the job.
And with the support of Yashamaru and some Ugetsu employees, they quickly completed an improved version of the transportation tool for ocean sightseeing - 'Ocean Star'.
Different from the 'boat' type Desert Star.
The shape of the Sea Star is more like a shuttle - this shape is more conducive to it breaking through sea water and resisting pressure.
The tail also has a control system similar to that of a fish's tail that can be used to easily adjust the direction.
"Although the ability to resist water pressure, steering function and speed still need to be improved, for now, diving 50-100 meters for sightseeing within an hour is enough."
Scorpio gave a brief summary.
"…and considering the special characteristics of seawater and the various accidents and attacks that may be encountered underwater, at present, it is necessary to equip a shield formed by chakra to effectively improve safety."
"I have already engraved the shield conversion formula and technique on 'Ocean Star No. 1'. It only requires 1-2 ninjas above Chunin with sufficient chakra to activate it."
Wonderful!
"As expected of you."
Ugetsu praised Scorpion's work highly.
If you only say '1', the other party will consciously add '234'.
How thoughtful!
Give him a round of applause!
"Nothing."
Scorpion accepted Yu Yue's compliment with a calm expression.
The calmness almost makes the onlookers angry——
This is a compliment from Miss Yu Yue!
Besides, you have such a big project but there is no progress. How can we celebrate in the future?
They are so calm even though they made such a big news. If I jump up and down just because of a small success... wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?
But if you don’t celebrate, it’s still a success anyway.
If you don’t celebrate your success, when will you celebrate it?
Damn it, I hate this kind of nonchalant expression the most!
So after arranging the itinerary, the first group of the Ugetsu Store's Water Kingdom team-building trip continued.
The morning schedule was a regular boat trip - although the people of Kirigakure had some activities they requested for Ugetsu, such as the observation platform and swimming.
We were so busy renovating the swimming pool (why would anyone build a swimming pool on a boat?), the barbecue venue, and the spa room that we almost went bald.
But in the end, the people of Yuyue Store felt the joy of sailing on the sea.
The 'cruise ship' converted from a huge cargo ship is much more stable than ordinary small boats for sightseeing. On the calm sea, people don't even feel much shaking.
So some people who came to the sea for the first time in their lives expressed their feelings:
"People say that you get very sick on the boat, but that's not the case at all."
“It may be my physique.”
The other person who was also on the boat for the first time responded in a very serious manner.
"It seems that we are all not prone to seasickness."
——What nonsense are you talking about.
The people in the Hidden Mist Village wanted to roll their eyes when they heard this.
What do you mean it’s stable and doesn’t make you seasick? That’s because we are using a large cargo ship!
Why don't you try one of those small tour boats?
There was a look in her eyes that was not sure whether it was envy or jealousy.
Otherwise, everyone would like to work for Miss Yu Yue?
Just with this thoughtfulness and generosity, no one can help but be tempted.
It's hard for most people to have the courage to modify such a large cargo ship at will.
There are so many projects...
To be honest, they, the Hidden Mist Village, have been on the sea for so many years, but they didn't know that they could live such a comfortable life on the sea.
Not to mention the ' Sea Star'.
Thinking of the unique schedule of the Ugetsu Store employees, the ninja became even more envious.
——In order not to make herself more envious, she chose to ignore it and turned back to the cabin.
As long as I can't see or hear it, it has nothing to do with me.
However, the employees of Yuyue Store were unaware that their words and actions had stimulated others. They were still happily exploring the ship and enjoying their team-building journey.
Some people were lying on the deck looking at the sea, while others were going to the spa room to enjoy a massage. In addition to Sasori and Yashamaru, the people who came from the Sand Village also included several beauticians led by Karura.
In addition to providing services to employees who are participating in team building, they also have the task of scouting the site of the next Chunin Exam to find a location for a temporary beauty salon, as well as conducting field research and studying the special massage programs of the "Water Kingdom".
But team building is important now, so they all came to the boat together.
Of course, they also work on a rotation basis.
Those who are not working can enjoy this sea trip like other employees of Ugetsu Shoten.
Of course, there are also people who can't wait to put on their swimsuits.
“It’s so comfortable.”
Tsunade, lying on the beach chair and drinking special juice, let out a comfortable sigh.
“This is life.”
Although gambling is the most indispensable pleasure in life, it is also very happy to travel to a foreign country occasionally and experience a different life.
Sunshine, waves, beach chairs... isn't this just for her?
but……
"Jiraiya, what are you looking at?"
Tsunade suddenly turned her head and looked towards the corner.
At some point, a middle-aged man with white hair was squatting there stealthily.
After being caught, he didn't run away - just kidding, running away would prove that he was guilty.
"No, nothing... I just think it's beautiful... No, the scenery is really moving."
"Really?"
"Yes, look at the sky and the sea... these are things we can't see on a normal day."
“I see.”
Tsunade stepped down from the beach chair.
Although she was approaching middle age, she still looked like a girl in her twenties thanks to the ninjutsu she developed.
She walked towards Jiraiya, grabbed his collar again, and before the other party could react, she exerted force with her feet and then swung her hands hard.
——With a whoosh, a dark shadow flew over the side of the boat and fell into the water.
"Then you should get closer."
Tsunade's voice then rang out.
Such a movement naturally attracted the attention of others.
However, since most of the people on the boat were ninjas, no one would think that this was just an ordinary "fall into the water" - after all, ninjas can use "ninjutsu" to walk on the water.
"Ah! Despicable! We agreed to go sea fishing, why did you go into the water?"
That's right, people just thought he was trying to sneak away and catch more fish.
Someone immediately put down his fishing rod.
One of the green figures jumped down right after him.
"That's right! Going into the sea and catching fish is the real youth!"
"If you're a man, you have to go into the sea and fight with fish!"
——When he started talking about youth, people didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
But the last sentence...
Boy, who isn't a man?
Plop. Plop.
The sea surface outside the ship's side splashed with water like dumplings.
Those who believed that "a real man should fight with fish" all went into the sea to catch fish.
Yu Yue: “…”
Every time she thought she had gradually understood the ninja community, some incomprehensible behaviors would always emerge...
"Okay, as long as they are happy."
Yu Yue, who was wearing a hat and fishing on the deck with a fishing rod in his hand, shook his head.
"Remember to tell the ninjas in charge of security to keep an eye out for any problems."
Those who are good at swimming will drown.
This is a saying passed down by our ancestors. Ninjas are indeed powerful, but who knows if they will suddenly get cramps or encounter other accidents?
Things beneath the sea are not as peaceful and harmless as they appear.
"I see."
Uchiha Shisui, who was also wearing casual clothes and fishing with Ugetsu, nodded.
Unlike his usual smart and practical ninja outfit, he was wearing light-colored casual clothes today.
From the unbuttoned collar, you can vaguely see the beautiful collarbone and half of the white chest.
The boy is thin.
But looking at it this way, it is actually stronger than imagined.
This must be the legendary "looking thin when dressed, and showing off muscles when undressed".
But then again…
"Your skin is so nice."
Yu Yue couldn't help but sigh.
Isn’t it said that adolescent boys are prone to acne due to endocrine problems?
But after so many years, let alone acne.
He has never even had blackheads.
And the skin is so delicate that the pores are almost invisible.
Should we say that the Uchiha have extraordinary talents, or that the ninja group has a special buff bonus?
"Um?"
The boy asked with a light nasal voice.
"Nothing, just be safe...ah, they seem to be starting to come back."
It's not so much that Yu Yue knew they were 'back', but rather that the deck was 'attacked'.
Boom!
A black shadow as tall as a person slammed into the deck from the side of the ship. The huge sound was hard to ignore even if you wanted to.
And just like the beginning, black shadows of varying sizes continued to be thrown up from the sea.
All kinds of seafood fell like rain all over the deck.
Looking at a starfish that slid not far from her feet, Yu Yue's mouth twitched.
…It’s okay now that the starfish are here.
What on earth were these people doing?
Perhaps because they couldn't bear to see the people from the Ugetsu Shoten showing off their skills in front of their own doorstep, some ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village couldn't help but join in.
Get out of the way. Get out of the way.
Your methods of catching fish are too childish.
Let the professionals come!
Once the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village who are good at water escape techniques appear, it will no longer be a matter of catching fish in twos or three.
Looking at the fish that were washed up on , Yu Yue felt that they were simply 'extinct'.
"Look at my technique of catching big fish in my net!"
"There is no such jutsu - ah! That's too despicable!"
As the quarreling sound came from the sea, another huge wave came with a large number of sea fish. Unlike the previous "minor fight" that only hit a small area of ​​the deck, this huge wave almost covered most of the side of the boat. Yu Yue, who was sitting on the side fishing, was naturally not spared.
In the blink of an eye , the young man next to Yu Yue moved.
He quickly held Yu Yue with one hand and stepped back, while with the other hand he pulled up the parasol next to him and held it in front of him, thus preventing Yu Yue from being soaked.
The constantly rotating parasol not only withstands the impact of the waves, but also throws away excess water.
The entire deck looked as if it had been washed by water, and all kinds of half-dead seafood were scattered everywhere.
Some people even had their faces covered with kelp that was swept up, and some were even knocked down by huge fish that fell from the sky while walking on the road and couldn't get up.
Only the area where Yu Yue was was still clean. Not to mention the 'gift from the sea', even the ground under his feet was dry.
The boy's expression also darkened.
It’s okay to play around, we are all ninjas, so it’s understandable if there’s some loud noise.
But threatening Miss Yu Yue's safety is absolutely unacceptable.
He put the parasol back into place and put Yu Yue back in the chair.
"I'll be back soon."
Before he finished speaking, the boy disappeared from the spot.
Then came the shouts of those who went out to sea to catch fish being thrown onto the deck one after another.
"ah!"
"oh!"
"Who! Who stepped on my foot?"
The farce caused by "going to sea to fish" was finally brought to an end by force.
Although it is time to relax, if you get into trouble, you get into trouble.
So the next job for this group of people became washing the deck.
The originally clean and tidy deck turned into a mess due to the efforts of several people.
Various seafoods were hanging and dripping everywhere.
Sea fish with dead eyes and mouths open and closed can be seen everywhere. From a distance, it looks like a "fish blanket" spread on the deck.
Someone even picked up a pearl from a broken shell.
...is it a pleasant surprise?
When the final reckoning was done, it was discovered that far more fish had been brought on deck than could be consumed—even including those taken back for other people's meals.
So after some selection, people only kept the most delicious and freshest ones, and returned the rest of the fish to the sea.
Finally, the tragedy of the extinction of an entire school of fish was avoided.
In the afternoon, after the deck was cleaned up to a sparkling appearance, the next project of the team building was about to begin - that is, the underwater romantic trip called "Ocean Star No. 1".
People didn't think much of it at first.
But as the colorful underwater world appeared before people, the attention of people who were accustomed to life on land was all attracted.
Whether it is the colorful coral reefs or the leisurely swimming schools of fish, they are all so different.
Looking at the dark sea surface, it is often difficult for people to imagine that there is such a colorful world underwater.
Big fish, small fish... schools of fish swam past us in groups, so close that it seemed as if we could catch them if we just reached out our hands.
An hour that usually seems so long now seems to pass in a flash.
When the Ocean Star 1 surfaced, many people were still in shock.
Huh?
Is this the end?
I feel like I'm just getting started...
Just like Urashima Taro leaving the Ryugu Palace, people were so dazed that they couldn't tell where they were or what time it was.
"I haven't seen enough! Can we do it again?"
"What a pity." Facing people's expectant eyes, Yu Yue shook her head.
If possible, Yu Yue would like to fulfill the wishes of her employees.
"The Ocean Star is still just a test model, and one hour is the maximum limit of its safe navigation at present."
Even Scorpio has to go up and check if there are any problems.
Compared with simple sand, the underwater environment is more complex and the difficulties encountered are also diverse.
"ah……"
People had no choice but to leave disappointed.
However, after Yu Yue said that there would be a chance to visit Ocean Star again in the future, he became optimistic again.
Since Miss Yu Yue said so, Ocean Star will definitely become safer and more stable in the future.
Make sure to have enough fun by then!
Because it was only a trial model for team building in Yuyue stores, Yuyue did not promote the "Ocean Star".
But the great nobles of the Land of Water and the Fourth Mizukage, who got the news, could no longer sit still.
How could my Hidden Mist Village miss out on such a good thing! ?
“Buy it! I’ll buy it back no matter what!!!”
