Momochi Zabuza is full of confidence.
Zabuza Momochi was fully prepared.
Zabuza Momochi...found out that he was still too naive.
He queued up and got in smoothly, but...
"Make way, make way, make way!"
"Stop pushing! I can't get my little Sakura!"
"Gone! How come it's gone now? Boss, please restock it!"
"Are you selling the display board? I have money! I really have money!"
Looking at the crowded scene and the dazzling but rapidly disappearing products on the display racks, Taochi could no longer move.
"Water clone technique!"
He made a seal on the spot - after all, it was more efficient for multiple people to buy together than for one person.
But a second passed.
Ten seconds passed.
Twenty seconds...
Oh, twenty seconds didn't even pass because someone squeezing in from behind pushed Zabuza Momochi away.
"If you don't want to buy anything, don't block my way! Ms. Ritsuko! Here I come!"
But the familiar chakra fluctuations and water clones did not appear.
"You can't use chakra here."
A weak voice came.
Momochi Zabuza looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with thick dark circles under his eyes, who seemed to have been drained of all his energy, looking at him.
Although this man looked weak at first glance, judging from the fact that he could get so close without making any sound and without being discovered, he must also be a ninja.
He's also a pretty good ninja.
Seeing Zabuza Momochi looking at him, the man raised his hand and pointed at the notice board next to him with his thumb.
Because there were people around, Zabuza Momochi was unable to see the notice written on the bulletin board at the first time.
"In order to prevent ninjas from cheating, a seal has been set up here. The use of any ninjutsu, secret techniques, or bloodline limits is prohibited."
Those who do not heed advice will be severely punished.
Momochi Zabuza's eyes widened.
Sealing technique!?
No, isn’t this just a store where you buy things?
How could there be a sealing technique?!
And it was sealed to the level of bloodline limit! ?
You know, these ninjas are using sealing techniques everywhere.
But it is not a skill that any ninja can master, especially such a comprehensive sealing technique. It is impossible to do it without an expert.
can be completed.
But if they use sealing techniques just to buy things, would there be ninjas who break the rules and steal things?
Zabuza Momochi felt that these people really underestimated ninjas.
Ninja, who doesn't have some iron self-control?
Although he didn't say it out loud, his expression clearly expressed his meaning.
However, the next second, a tiny crackling sound of electric current reached their ears.
A man dressed as a ninja fell to the side with smoke coming out of his body, looking like he had been electrocuted. He was then quickly dragged away by some people and disappeared into the crowd.
Because it happened so fast, people obsessed with purchasing didn't even notice.
Even if someone smelled a burnt smell, they would just think it was because there were too many people around, causing static electricity due to friction.
The man with heavy dark circles under his eyes pursed his lips.
"Well, that's what happens when you don't follow the rules."
Momochi Zabuza: ...My face hurts, really.
"Forget it this time. You only used the clone technique without triggering the punishment function. It may not work next time."
The warning from the young man with dark circles under his eyes also put an end to Zabuza Momochi's plan to continue using ninjutsu.
It’s not that he was afraid of the electric shock, he just couldn’t afford to lose face.
A dignified ninja was electrocuted for violating the store rules - how can he live his life if he tells others about this?
If people knew his origins, the entire Hidden Mist Village would probably lose all face.
So he could only blend into the crowd and start all in according to the client's request.
Keychain, yeah, bought it.
Signboard? Can’t miss it.
A whole set of colored paper bookmarks?
And poster calendars?
Buy! Buy them all!
Zabuza Momochi had beautiful ideas, but when he took action, he was dumbfounded.
Because he found that when he was unable to use ninjutsu and ninja tools, he could not compete with those ordinary people who were too excited.
Just as he was about to reach for the key chain, he found that the three hands in front of him had quickly emptied the entire row.
Looking at the empty shelves, he chose to buy a sign first, giving the time when the store would restock.
However, when he finally squeezed to the stand, he saw that the last few seats were all bought out.
He finally caught up with the staff to restock the posters, but before he could even reach out to grab them, the crowd of people squeezed him out of reach again.
The young ninja, who had never experienced a shopping frenzy, was completely confused.
He thought he should be a reef in the waves.
No matter how strong the wind blows or how strong the waves are, it remains unmoved.
But now he felt like a jellyfish in the sea.
He floats wherever the sea water rushes to.
I can see the thing I want to buy is right in front of me, but I can't get close to it no matter what.
Not only can we not get closer, but we will get farther and farther away.
And this happened not just once, but many times.
People inside don't give him any chance, and people from outside are also rushing in to join the fight.
Zabuza Momochi's face under the mask was about to crack.
What's going on?
There are ninjas among these people, but most of them are ordinary people, right?
Could it be that I can’t even handle ordinary people?
But now is not the time gate where he is stuck. The young ninja from the Hidden Mist Village can only go against the crowd with difficulty and attack the surrounding goods again.
This time, it will work!
When Momochi Zabuza finally picked up most of the goods and went to queue up to pay, he no longer looked like the neat ninja he had been when he arrived.
The neat clothes were squeezed into wrinkles.
The small accessories on the clothes were torn to pieces.
The sweat all over his body not only soaked his clothes, but also the mask on his face.
Even so, sweat continued to drip from his forehead and soak into the mask.
Perhaps because the look was too tragic, when it was finally his turn to pay, the checkout employee even gave him a pack of tissues printed with "Ninja Girl".
"Thanks."
Momochi Zabuza really needed this, so he didn't hesitate and simply thanked him and took one out to wipe his sweat.
Soon he realized that this one was not enough, so he pulled another one.
When he finally wiped the sweat off his head and felt more comfortable, he suddenly noticed several gazes around him.
?
He stopped and looked over, and saw that everyone around him was looking at him with an expression of disbelief or "thunder from the blue".
What's wrong?
Didn't I just wipe the sweat off my face?
Are there any taboos?
Momochi Zabuza was stunned as it was his first time to come to such a place.
"You actually...actually used up the tissue!"
The young man closest to him, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning, covered his chest and took half a step back.
Aren’t paper towels meant to be used?
He was puzzled for a moment.
But soon, those people revealed the answer:
"That's a tissue with the chakra seal of "The Girl Who Endures" printed on it!"
And there is nothing to sell!
That is a rare and out-of-print treasure... a treasure!
The other girl also had difficulty breathing.
She simply couldn't believe that someone would get such a treasure and use it instead of worshipping it.
What a family background!
No, are you really a fan of "Ninja Girl"!
The people around looked at Zabuza Momochi with suspicion.
The look in his eyes, as if he was looking at an enemy, made even a ninja like Zabuza Momochi, who was experienced and had seen many storms, shudder.
"My dear guest, you need to pay the bill."
Fortunately, the voice of the employee behind the counter saved him.
"OK."
Momochi Zabuza took out his wallet, and the moment he paid the bill, the door froze.
——What the hell is this amount???
Momochi Zabuza, who spent almost all his money on necessary daily necessities and ninja gear, was dumbfounded.
"guest?"
Before Momochi Zabuza could take out the money, the employee tilted his head and called out again.
"Well... I'll give it to you right away."
That being said, but when he gave the money, Zabuza Momochi's heart was still beating fast.
On the one hand, it’s expensive, and on the other hand…
Lord Kisame, the money you gave is not enough!
Hoshigaki Kisame did leave a lot of money (Zabuza Momochi also thought it was a lot at first).
But he wants a lot.
Just like most loyal fans will buy more than one piece of peripheral products.
I also bought a lot of Hoshigaki Kisame.
There are three copies of this one and five copies of that one. If anything is missing, just make up for it with the other one.
Momochi Zabuza, who didn't think the little gadgets could be expensive at all, obediently bought them according to Hoshigaki Kisame's instructions.
In addition, the crowded situation did not allow him to look through the price tags one by one.
The end result was that Zabuza Momochi even had to pay an extra subsidy.
——Lord Kisame, you must give me the money back.
It is not easy for the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village to make money, so their small treasury is naturally not as rich as that of the ninjas of the Hidden Sand Village who have been wealthy for so many years.
Although he reluctantly spent the money for an A-level mission, he was still relieved to escape that terrifying death gaze.
But soon, he started to worry again.
He had no idea that the tissue was also related to "Ninja Girl" and thought it was just an ordinary tissue so he used it.
How am I going to explain this to Lord Kisame when I go back?
I hope it won't be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
Zabuza Momochi is certainly not afraid of returning to the sea, but entering the sea by himself and being pushed into the sea by Lord Kisame are two completely different concepts.
But they are all used.
Momochi Zabuza shook his head.
I decided to leave this troubled place first to avoid any more trouble.
After all, this is a 'devil's cave' where even ordinary people can burst out with enough power to temporarily suppress a ninja like himself.
Who knows what will happen if we stay any longer?
"By the way, sir, when you were queuing, were you given a number card?"
"Yes."
Momochi Zabuza remembered the number plates he had been dealt out earlier.
He immediately took out his number plate which had become wrinkled due to the crowd.
Fortunately, although it is wrinkled, the numbers on it can still be seen clearly.
The employee behind the counter checked it and then picked up the silver bell next to him and rang it twice.
"Congratulations, sir. Your number has won the special prize."
What!?
Except for Zabuza Momochi who never paid any attention to the rules, everyone around who heard it was in an uproar.
When people noticed that the winner was the person who used the tissues generously, they all looked regretful and jealous.
Damn it, how could such a guy get it?
Obviously, obviously they are the loyal fans of "Ninja Girl"!
Although he didn't know about the number plate lottery, Momochi Zabuza was relieved when he heard that he had won the prize - at least he could atone for his sins.
The "sin" of using up the tissue should be able to be offset.
"The special prize is the right to purchase a figure of the sea ninja girl Yayoi!"
As the staff announced, the envious discussions around them reached
Extreme.
???
It’s not about winning a prize, it’s just about winning the right to purchase! ?
Momochi Zabuza's eyes widened.
——Why don’t you just go and rob it!
He almost cursed, but before he could open his mouth, he noticed the envious and jealous looks from the people around him.
——No, there’s something wrong with you guys.
This is not giving you a prize, but making you eligible to purchase... Are you envious of this?
"Sir, would you like to buy it?"
The employee behind the counter asked with a smile.
While speaking, he took out an exquisite figurine about the height of his forearm from the cabinet behind him.
The figure is very exquisite (after all, it is made by the puppeteer of the Sand Village), but the price is equally beautiful - it is equivalent to a B-rank quest.
You have to know that in the past, a B-level mission would be as difficult as fighting against a ground ninja.
Those who can leave the village and fight with ninjas from other ninja villages are basically ninjas above the level of Chunin.
Just for a little doll?
Zabuza Momochi found it hard to understand and was greatly shocked.
But thinking of Lord Kisame's instructions, he could only endure the blood dripping from his heart and nodded.
“…I’ll buy it.”
Rather than missing the chance and being thrown into the sea, it’s better to spend the money first.
After all, Lord Kisame won't let him suffer any loss...right?
Almost at the same time as he received the prize, Zabuza Momochi rushed out of the door.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take these 'trophies' back to the Hidden Mist Village (of course he was also heartbroken, as ninjas go through life and death, all for the sake of making money) - there was no other way, there were too many ninjas here.
If there are only three or two of them, we can still think of ways to deal with them, but what if there are more than ten or twenty of them coming together?
Now Zabuza Momochi is not sure he can escape unscathed.
Even when Momochi Zabuza came out to make the purchase, there was still a huge crowd of people outside, with a long queue that stretched to the point of not seeing the end.
Momochi Zabuza's keen hearing also caught the quarrel of the people at the end of the line:
"I told you to line up yesterday but you didn't believe me. You said it was close and you had to wait until you woke up to come."
A girl said angrily.
"How should I know?"
The boy who was with her looked aggrieved:
"I think we'll be here soon.
It’s only five minutes away…it’s still enough.”
"I'm not going to make it in time!"
She really had to be in big trouble before she believed what her cousin said.
If there weren't any theme stores in her city, if she didn't think her cousin was experienced in shopping...
But it's too late to say anything now.
I can only sigh as I look at the endless queue ahead.
——I hope that when it’s my turn, there will still be things to buy.
Wow, she just wanted to spend money on her beloved little Sakura/Yayoi sister/Ritsuko sister, how could this happen.
What? Flirtatious?
How can this be called fickleness? She clearly just divided her heart into three parts and loved every ninja girl equally.
Momochi Zabuza couldn't understand their eagerness, he only knew that these products were unexpectedly in high demand.
If you don't leave now, you might not be able to leave.
The young ninja who was proficient in the 'silent killing technique' used all his strength when performing high-level missions and disappeared silently on the street.
The popularity of the theme store once again proves Miss Yu Yue’s unparalleled talent in making money.
I used to think she was being carried away or sick - isn't it a sickness to not make money?
Now everyone shuts up and starts to doubt life.
In the past, they always felt that the only thing they lacked from Miss Yu Yue was some ingenuity and luck.
It’s just that they don’t have those clever ideas, or when they have ideas, they are not as lucky as Miss Yu Yue to meet someone who can realize their ideas.
Otherwise, I would be the one making a lot of money now.
But now, after seeing what she did, I really have to admit that there is indeed a gap between them and Miss Yu Yue.
At least they definitely wouldn't dare to expose their customers to the sun for so long.
They will definitely strike while the iron is hot and sell all kinds of imaginable things right away while the heat is still high.
She doesn't look like Miss Yu Yue at all.
Not only did it sell a lot of peripheral products, it also once again aroused people's enthusiasm and passion.
Now, the heated discussion about "Ninja Girl" will definitely be extended.
I have to admit defeat...I have to admit defeat.
They actually laughed at Yu Yue for being too proud - when it was obvious that they were the clowns.
On the other hand, Yu Yue Store was also delighted with the profit.
although
However, Yu Yue's store has always been very profitable.
But as for money, who wants less?
As an employee, whether it is to support a family or to realize the value of life, of course everyone hopes that their company will get better and better.
So the better the Ugetsu store is, the happier the store employees will be.
Yu Yue is happy too.
If theme stores can be successful, it proves that similar stores can be arranged.
For example, joint stores, limited coffee shops and the like - a serving of fries that only costs a few dollars can be sold for forty or fifty dollars.
And most importantly, they can be made using various semi-finished products or syrups, which not only ensures the stable quality of the food, but also allows for easy operation.
Safety does not require the preparation of professional chefs. All you need is simple training and you can start working. (Kitchen killers are an exception)
Drinks are even simpler.
Yu Yue has its own professional R&D team, so developing beverages based on color will be a piece of cake.
As long as there are enough consumables, you can produce unlimited meals stably.
Perfect.
Then take some group photos or something.
Yu Yue wrote down another new idea.
Of course, there are already photographs in this world.
But the way of taking pictures is still quite primitive.
A camera is not what people think it is, a cube that you can carry around with you at any time.
It's the kind in history where you have to bring a tripod, prepare a piece of cloth, and put the photographer's head inside when taking pictures.
——That is to say, the current photo market.
“It’s still a blue ocean.”
"What blue ocean?"
Hearing Yu Yue's sigh, Uchiha Shisui subconsciously turned his head and looked over.
"Ms. Yu Yue wants to see the sea?"
"No, it's not." Yu Yue quickly shook her head, "It's just a metaphor... Oh, by the way, I want to buy a photo studio."
"OK."
Uchiha Shisui agreed immediately.
Although I have no idea what the 'Blue Ocean' has to do with the photo studio.
But since Miss Yu Yue needed it, he would do it.
"Miss Yu Yue, do you have any requests for the photo studio?"
"Like size or location?"
"Well... the more cameras the better, the more people who can take pictures the better."
Because she had already gotten used to the mobile age and the ability to travel around the world with just one mobile phone, Yu Yue didn't think about the sound of taking a photo at first.
But now it seems that there is a lot to be done.
Who wouldn't want to 'record happiness'?
With so many entertainment industries under his control, he could easily launch various photography services.
For example, taking photos at tourist attractions in the past could make a lot of money.
"Then find some makeup artists and men and women with good hands."
When it comes to taking photos, makeup and styling must of course keep up.
When traveling happily, how can you not take a beautiful photo of yourself with perfect makeup to bring back?
Miscalculated.
I really missed a huge market before.
...But it’s not too late to pick it up now.
"Understood."
Uchiha Shisui once again gave an affirmative answer.
Although this may be a bit of an exaggeration.
But don’t even think about buying a photo studio and finding a makeup artist.
Even if Miss Yu Yue wanted the specialties from the moon, they would not say "no".
"By the way, tell Orochimaru and ask him to see if he can improve the camera."
Although large cameras are more convenient for monopolization.
But as for photos, of course the clearer and brighter they are, the better.
Customers pay, so they have to provide products of corresponding quality.
——I believe that those distinguished VVVVIP guests don’t mind spending a little more money to have higher and more perfect quality photos.
"If Orochimaru doesn't know, then you can ask Scorpion or Chiyo."
"I understand. I will confirm this with you two."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
As Yu Yue spoke, she couldn't help but shake her head and sighed:
Alas, there are still too few technical talents.
Although Ugetsu Store has absorbed a lot of talents in the past two years, various technology-related work still relies almost entirely on the efforts of these three people, but Orochimaru and Sasori themselves are responsible for quite a few large projects.
Grandma Chiyo is getting old.
Although Yu Yue felt that Chiyo, who was born as a ninja, could still work hard for another ten or twenty years - didn't you see that she could still fight tigers and kill bears now?
But I am really old, and it would not be appropriate for me to abandon a lot of projects.
Although Tsunade is also a very outstanding scientific research talent, she is seriously biased in her studies.
He only has profound attainments in medical ninjutsu and related fields.
Speaking of which, Orochimaru seems to have an apprentice.
I don't know if I can become a disciple now... Even if I only have half of Orochimaru's ability... No, even one third or even one quarter of it would be fine.
Of course, it would be even better if the students could surpass their teachers.
By then, small matters like improving the camera can be left to her.
Well, I'll have to ask about it when I get back this time.
On the other side of the world.
Uchiha Obito has become somewhat accustomed to coming up empty-handed when trying to find someone.
So after making sure that no one would go with him, Uchiha Obito set out alone to find Kakuzu.
You have to look for it.
No one in the organization, including himself, is good at making money and settling accounts.
Uchiha Obito's idea was also very simple.
Now the main force of Akatsuki is so busy now because they want to make money from the Ugetsu store.
Then wouldn't it be enough for him to find someone who can make money and manage accounts?
This will not only solve the income problem, but also allow someone to keep track of Xiao's income and expenditure.
Right now Akatsuki's internal finances are a real mess - mainly because of that Hidan.
As the top fighter recruited by Akatsuki now, Uchiha Obito certainly cannot let him go.
As for Feiduan, seeing that Akatsuki would continue to provide him with funding, he naturally became more relaxed.
Let's make a sacrifice to the evil god today.
We'll have a ritual tomorrow to worship the evil god.
Anyway, someone is paying me, so I’m happy.
But if he is happy, others will be unhappy.
If someone could manage this, it would be a good thing.
Although the contact angles had failed in the past few times, Uchiha Obito was not discouraged.
He felt that the temptations he had offered in the past were not enough, so that the other party could not see the future in following him.
So this time he prepared quite a lot of concessions.
——Doesn’t he like money?
Then let him manage the money, and give him work to earn money.
This way, in addition to the funding for Akatsuki, he could also earn some money on his own.
Is this okay?
...Although I don’t have a good job to make money right now, it doesn’t matter.
Believe that the future will always be good.
The world is so big, he doesn't believe that he can't find a job or money to earn!
Uchiha Obito originally thought that it would be difficult to contact Kakuzu - after all, he was a top-level rebel ninja who was in hiding.
However, he didn't expect that before he could come up with any conspiracy or trick, the other party would come out.
Then I saw a huge 'Kakudo Office'.
This made him feel very troubled.
——It's so blatant, isn't it really a trap? !
