Everyone who is familiar with the Hidden Mist Village has discovered one thing.
That is, the style of painting the Hidden Mist Village and its ninjas has changed.
In the past, it was the most mysterious and cruel ninja village.
The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village are just legends to most people.
Coming without a trace, going without a trace.
The moment you see them, you will die.
But now…
Looking at these ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village who were purchasing and transporting goods everywhere, there was even a stall near the city gate with a sign saying "Recruiting temporary workers, daily wages".
These ninjas, who are usually seen as inseparable from "death" and "fear", are just like the countless people at the registry office.
He moved the table and stool and sat there quietly.
They would register if someone came, and they didn't get angry if no one came.
Just sit there properly and occasionally chat with your companions.
Even if no one is there all day.
After dark, they put away their things and waited until the first day to put them out again, repeating the previous day's actions.
Everyone in the city has gone from feeling magical at the beginning to feeling accustomed to it now.
...It's not okay if you don't get used to it.
At first, people were really scared when they saw so many ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village.
They thought the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing and they were going to be doomed, so many people hid and did not dare to approach them.
Some even simply don't go out.
I was afraid that I would accidentally offend the ninja and never see the first day of the sun again.
But people soon realized that this didn't work.
The ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village come here every day, and they would just hide away out of fear.
Do we still want to live a normal life?
Ninjas can only carry out a mission once every few days or a month.
They can't hold on.
Then someone discovered that the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village were recruiting people.
Moreover, the salary is paid on a daily basis, and the money given is very attractive.
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
Now that the money is in place, naturally someone will be willing to take the risk.
At first there were only one or two.
Then five or six.
Then, when people see that these people who receive generous daily wages are actually becoming financially well-off.
More and more people joined in.
Although the work in the Hidden Mist Village is hard, the working hours are usually more than ten hours a day.
But people are still very enthusiastic and have a positive attitude towards work.
The main reason is of course the high labor costs.
If we continue working like this, we can harvest as much as we would in half a year.
And food and accommodation are provided there.
If you want to come back, there is also a ninja escort service every week.
There were no ninjas wielding whips to keep people working.
Nor did he go to the Hidden Mist Village, a horrific hell where anyone showing their head at night would be beheaded.
They are just in designated places, doing designated work.
Some people were making small parts, while others were packing a large pile of things.
There are also people who are responsible for transporting goods from various places every day.
Everything is no different from their normal odd jobs outside.
In fact, because of the free food and accommodation, we live better than before and can save more money.
In this case, whether they go to do a short-term job for a week or stay for a month or two, they will not lose money.
After settling the accounts clearly, people naturally became more enthusiastic about working in the Hidden Mist Village.
See that I have successfully recruited enough people.
The Hidden Mist Village also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the Hidden Mist Village is not like other villages and is not as close to other places in the Water Kingdom.
Some places nearby are okay, but those that are a little further away, especially those where ninjas have been on missions before, are hard to say.
So at one point they were really worried that they might not be able to recruit enough people.
Fortunately, Yuyue Store's "free food, accommodation and delivery" method is effective, and now we can recruit enough staff.
Later on, people would even come from nearby villages to sign up at the recruitment point in the Hidden Mist Village.
As for whether you are afraid or not.
We all went together anyway!
If something really happens, it may not happen to you.
With the optimistic idea that "even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up", people began to sign up for the jobs.
The Hidden Mist Village basically accepts everyone who comes. After registering information such as birthplace, name, age, and expertise, they just wait to be taken away.
——Until a group of people came to the recruitment point in a lively manner.
This group of people came from different villages, and because the place was remote, they got together to travel.
There is strength in numbers, and we can take care of each other if anything happens on the road.
On the way here, they were still discussing what they were good at, what kind of work they could do, and what they could do after getting the money.
The atmosphere is extremely harmonious.
However……
"I'm sorry, but you don't meet our requirements."
"What?"
The middle-aged man didn't expect to be rejected at all and didn't even react.
"You just don't meet our recruitment requirements. I'm sorry, but we won't hire you."
The ninja in charge of registration repeated his speech.
This time, people around also noticed it.
People gathered around.
“Why?”
The middle-aged man shouted out of control.
"Aren't they all registered?"
He pointed to a few people not far away who had completed registration before him.
“Yes, they meet the requirements and they are all registered.”
Faced with the man's roar, the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village remained as calm as before.
"You, you are cheating!"
The middle-aged man and his fellow villagers gathered around.
"Didn't you say anyone can do it? Why can't it be done here?"
"You are kidding me, we have come all the way here!"
He cunningly used the word "we" to make people feel that this "accident" did not just happen to him, but to all of them.
After hearing what he said, the people around him also became agitated.
People from other villages also started to worry.
They came here together, so we have to help them no matter what.
And the ninja was also very calm.
"Not only you, but your entire village will not be hired - people from other villages will not be affected by this."
Hearing his words, people from other villages looked at him sideways.
If they are not able to be hired , they will definitely fight for their own interests.
But it seems that the matter has nothing to do with me, but is only aimed at a specific goal.
They couldn't help but murmur.
...What on earth did these people do to cause such a mess?
"No! You have to give me an explanation!"
I see that everyone else can make money, but people in my village cannot.
The middle-aged man got drunk.
He even forgot that he was facing a ninja and slammed the table fiercely.
Otherwise, you will watch others become rich while you are the only one who is still standing still.
That would be even more painful than starving yourself.
The ninja was knocked on the table, but he didn't move.
But the gradually cold and suffocating air pressure around them cooled down the heated brains of the middle-aged man and several people from the same village behind him.
Only then did they vaguely realize that the person in front of them was not an ordinary job recruiter.
But a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.
He is a brutal being who can make them bleed to pieces on the spot if necessary.
Several people shrank back on the spot.
“The reason why we are not hiring you is because you have been blacklisted due to past misconduct.”
The ninja said this, feeling somewhat relieved.
The conflict between Yuyue Store and a certain village is not a hidden secret. As long as you are interested, you can find out more or less.
So the ninja was not unfamiliar with this matter, and he even felt a little happy.
As a ninja who also has a Kekkei Genkai, he is of course happy to see those who once persecuted those who have a Kekkei Genkai suffer misfortune.
I even felt a little more grateful to Miss Yu Yue.
To be honest, it’s because of the characteristics of the Water Country and the Hidden Mist Village.
They have long been accustomed to all kinds of persecution and cruelty, so much so that they have forgotten that they can seek justice like this, and no one will take the initiative to offer to seek justice for them.
——Ms. Yu Yue, you are truly the best person in the world.
As the first batch of tourists left.
The story of the Sea Paradise also spread more widely.
Some people say that there are jewels everywhere here, and that pearls are used in games.
What? You don't believe it? Didn't you see that those people came back with pearls by the bag?
There are also countless varieties of seafood, especially fish.
How many fish were there? They jumped onto the boat as soon as it passed.
After thinking for a long time, fishing enthusiasts believe that this is the only answer.
Otherwise, how is it possible for a novice who has never fished before to catch more than ten fish in a day?
And there might be some panacea there.
After all, those who came back all had rosy complexions and looked like they had had a good rest.
All kinds of legends and gossip spread more and more widely, and became more and more distorted as they spread.
In the end, there was even a legend that there was the legacy left by the Six Paths Sage.
Otherwise, how could there be so many magical and good things?
In addition, the past six months have been calm and there is nothing new for everyone to do - in the past, many of them would go to the Kingdom of Flowers to see flowers, or to the Kingdom of Hot Springs to soak in hot springs.
But after experiencing the various and novel projects such as the Fengqing Tour and the Chunin Exam, these traditional projects... seem to be useless.
It's not to say that it has no appeal at all.
But if I were to say how much I wanted to go, that’s not the case.
The result is that the sea park is less open.
People become more and more impatient.
Even after the bridge in the Wave Country was repaired, many people went to the Wave Country for a tour.
On the one hand, they have never seen a cross-sea bridge, so they go to see foreign things and eat foreign food.
On the other hand, they also thought that if they couldn't go to the Sea Park, they could also go to the Land of Waves which was closest to the Sea Park.
After all, this is where Miss Yu Yue's business is located, so there should be some fun here.
So, the newly rebuilt Wave Country inexplicably welcomed a group of tourists.
The hotel restaurants were all full.
Cruise ships that were originally used for family trips have also become popular.
With the idea that even if we couldn't go to the sea park, spending a night on the cruise ship would satisfy our craving, the cruise reservations were quickly filled up until ten days later.
In short, thousands of words can be summed up in two sentences.
One sentence is: 'Is the Sea Paradise open for business today?'
Another line is: 'Without the Sea Paradise, we would be bored and empty to death!'
Under such circumstances, various supporting facilities projects prepared for the Chunin Exam and the official operation of the Sea Park have to be rushed into emergency work.
For example, Scorpion of the Red Sand.
In fact, to be honest, although the Ocean Star projects are attractive to Scorpios, there are not many.
Not to mention the work of improving ships.
In his opinion, those things were not difficult at all, he could just find a puppeteer to do it. There was no need to do it himself.
So a few
After solving the technical difficulties, he entered a slow and unhurried working state.
Anyway, the work can be done.
So what is the difference between meeting the deadline and meeting it ahead of schedule?
It was not until a familiar figure appeared in front of him that Scorpion narrowed his eyes.
"Kakuzu."
He immediately revealed the identity of the visitor.
As a 'veteran ninja' who survived the first generation, Kakuzu's fame and identity are not unfamiliar to ninjas of Sasori's level.
In fact, this old player is also on the wanted list of each village.
After all, over the years, there are always a few people in the village who have fallen into his hands.
It's just that because the opponent has incredible power, and has not reached the bottom line of the village, it would be counterproductive to send too many people to encircle and suppress him, so the two sides basically maintained a peaceful state.
"It's me."
Kakuzu was not at all panicked when faced with Scorpion who was not deceived by his one-sided disguise and revealed his identity.
Facing this famous ancient-level rebel ninja, the red-haired young man did not intend to back down, but instead sneered:
"Why, you still took my order?"
Scorpion of the Red Sand was not surprised that someone wanted to kill him.
He just narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at the man in front of him - having the life to accept the task is one thing, but having the life to complete it is another matter entirely.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the man opposite shook his head unexpectedly: "That's not the case."
Of course there was a reward, but he didn't accept it.
……ha?
The red-haired young man's cold expression began to crack.
"You didn't take my order, why are you running in front of me?"
Are you free?
Kaku said without hesitation: "Of course it's because of your work efficiency."
Scorpion of the Red Sand: ...?
"Your current work efficiency has seriously affected my...Yu Yue Store's profit , do you understand?"
Scorpion of the Red Sand is beginning to doubt his own ears.
What did he hear?
The man in black opposite him didn't think that what he said was anything serious.
Just continue:
"Since you work for Ugetsu Store, you must have a correct attitude and earn money well."
"Like you
This kind of work attitude of working for three days and resting for two days is not desirable."
"Wait."
There was even a hint of horror in Scorpion's expression, as if he had seen a ghost.
——No, it should be said that even if it is a ghost, it shouldn’t be so scary, right?
"Why do you come and talk about me?"
You are a well-known traitor. What does my work efficiency have to do with you?
Perhaps his reaction was too obvious, Kaku spoke without waiting for him to say anything else:
"Because I am the financial director of the Wave Country project." Although it is one of them.
"Strictly controlling the income of the Kingdom of Waves and eliminating all unfavorable conditions is my work (income)."
The Red Sand Scorpion was shocked.
He didn't even know whether he should be shocked that a traitor like you could come work in finance, or he should be impressed that Miss Ugetsu was so generous that she even dared to recruit such a person.
However, Kakuzu had no intention of continuing to be shocked with him, and just continued to speak:
"As a jonin-level ninja, you can work sixteen hours a day, but now you only work seven or eight hours a day. This is not advisable."
"I've calculated that if you work sixteen hours a day and double your efficiency, you can complete three times the current amount of work every day. If you keep doing this, the new cruise ship and Ocean Star can be delivered at least one-third of the time earlier."
"And every day a new cruise ship goes to sea earlier, it can earn an extra day's worth of money - do you know how much that is?"
Scorpio: How should I know?
What does this have to do with me?
He was only responsible for production and collecting his share of money and resources. As for how to sell it and to whom, that was not his concern.
Then he saw Kakuzu shaking his head and looking at him strangely.
As a ninja who has lived through the period when the ninja village was established, Kakuzu has experienced hard times.
So he knows the importance of money better than anyone else.
Naturally, I can't stand Scorpios and other people who don't know how hard it is to make money and just think about slacking off and being passive.
That's money, it's money!
What do you kids who have never experienced the hard times of having to stretch every penny carefully know?
"You don't even know how much that is, how dare you take a break?"
"If Miss Yu Yue didn't make money, do you think you could still live such a comfortable life?"
"Where do you think you got those precious materials?"
Kakuzu's voice didn't have much ups and downs.
But it is precisely this cold tone that makes people feel more heavy.
——Even Scorpio felt that there seemed to be a hint of truth in this.
After all, since he started working for Miss Yu Yue, not only the money he could control, but also various rare materials and equipment had become much easier to obtain.
"So if you still want to continue living like this, hurry up and catch up."
“Remember, only when Miss Yu Yue makes money can you have a good life.”
Of course the point is that he can also make money.
You should know that Miss Yu Yue’s salary includes project bonuses.
The sooner the project in Wave Country starts to make a profit, the more bonus he can get.
In this case, Kakuzu certainly cannot allow anyone's work to be unsaturated.
——From Kakuzu's perspective.
We are all ninjas, so of course the minimum working time is eleven hours a day, and there is no upper limit.
Seeing that Scorpion was wavering, Kakuzu did not continue to force him to do so, but decided to stop while he was ahead.
After all, the core technology is in the hands of the other party, so it’s not good to push too hard.
Plus, he still has to find the next lazy person, so he is very busy!
So the people who stayed in the Land of Waves - especially Kakashi Hatake and Genmamon Shiranui - truly saw what the "King of Scrolls" was.
Compared to Kakuzu, Might Guy and Daisuke are child's play.
After all, these two people are still young.
Although they work very hard and strive for the prize, the influence of age and other factors dictate that the upper limit of their prize is limited.
From experience... that's only to the extent of 'I'll do more'.
But the angles are different.
This is the perennial king of scrolls.
For money, people will do anything and spend anything.
Coupled with his 'immortal body' with multiple hearts working together, he can really work non-stop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
This rigid condition, coupled with his nature of taking "working (making money)" as his hobby.
That really made men silent and women cry.
At least Hatake Kakashi was silent.
Isn't it good for everyone to do their ordinary work step by step?
Why bother?
You must know that work is unlimited, but life is limited.
It’s limited!
Teacher!
Why don’t you send someone to replace us?
If it really doesn't work, Miss Yu Yue can come!
“A-choo!”
Ugetsu, who was far away in the Land of Water, suddenly sneezed.
Her sneeze immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her.
Some people handed over hot water, and some people wrapped themselves in blankets.
There were also people who directly took her hand and started taking her pulse.
All of the above actions are completed within thirty seconds.
It made the parties involved laugh and cry at one point.
"I'm fine."
She looked back and saw pairs of eyes looking at her with concern.
But her words were not recognized by the people around her.
"How could that be? Miss Ugetsu's temperature is 36.9°. She's almost having a fever!"
"That's right! My skin doesn't seem to be as good as it was yesterday!"
"I'm really too tired!"
The people who worked together, especially the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, were particularly nervous.
This situation did not allow them to be nervous.
After all, if Miss Ugetsu really collapsed from exhaustion here with them, how could the Hidden Mist Village escape responsibility?
On the contrary, the person involved was very calm.
...No, isn't 36.9° a normal body temperature?
There's only one day left, how can you tell whether the skin is good or not?
Is it true that every ninja is a Leeuwenhoek?
Although I have been quite busy recently, I am also a little tired.
But Ugetsu didn’t feel like she had reached the stage of being sick where she had to rest.
She looked at Uchiha Shisui.
From the perspective of the people present, he was the most normal one.
However, the person who Yu Yue had high hopes for and hoped to end this not-so-small farce nodded and said, "Miss Yu Yue, you should take a rest."
Yu Yue:?
Good job, Uchiha Shisui.
This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes also betrayed?
Noticing Ugetsu's condemning gaze, Uchiha Shisui simply said to the others:
"Well, that's all for today. Everyone go back and sort out your work, and we'll continue tomorrow."
As the head of Yu Yue Store and Yu Yue's top assistant, his words are still very effective.
After a round of greetings, people sorted out their belongings.
Xi turned and left.
Only Ugetsu and Shisui were left.
"Okay, Miss Ugetsu, just take a break."
The young man said with a smile.
Ugetsu: ...
It's really hard to get angry when he smiles like this.
But since there isn’t much left to do today, finishing early won’t affect anything.
But Yu Yue would not let this matter go so easily, so after Uchiha Shisui sent her back to her room, she pulled her down and lay down together on the clean tatami.
"If I don't work, you have to rest."
Uchiha Shisui:?
"But I still have..."
"No, you didn't."
Yu Yue turned over and held the man down. She held the boy's hands tightly and pressed down on him.
The young man from the Uchiha family really let her control him, and the girl, who was not even a ninja, smiled when she saw this.
What about the ninja? Wasn’t it because I took him by surprise and attacked him successfully?
"——As a top assistant, even if you go back to work after taking a break, it won't delay the progress of the project, right?"
The boy had no choice but to surrender.
"I see."
"Then Miss Ugetsuki should also have a good rest."
The boy just used a little skill to make the girl lie down again.
Resting her head on the boy's legs, Yu Yue originally wanted to turn over and get up, but at this moment, a hand suddenly covered her eyes.
"Just take a rest, I will take care of the other things."!
