Chapter 16 Preparations of all parties
Konoha suddenly had so many things going on, so naturally Danzo Shimura, the leader of the Anbu who would rather kill the wrong people than let them go at the slightest sign of trouble, also knew about it.
But because the instigator was just an ordinary person, he did not take it seriously.
In Danzo Shimura's view, ordinary people and ninjas are completely different.
What can a little girl and a store do? Can it decide the outcome of a war? Or can it bring the God of Ninja back to life?
Whether Konoha is good or not depends on the ninja.
As for ordinary people...
They could only hide behind the ninjas when danger came. No matter how many troubles he caused, he would die with just a pinch from the ninjas.
No need to worry.
What annoyed him was that his once peaceful and orderly Konoha had become so noisy, chaotic and out of order.
"outrageous."
His brows were as droopy as usual, but anyone who knew him could sense his dissatisfaction.
All the Root ninjas were on high alert, fearing that their leader, who had the final say in the Root, would get angry - every time he got angry, blood would be shed.
But the old man in front of him didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Isn't this great?"
The Third Hokage smiled and looked at the noisy street outside.
"The village has been suppressed for too long. It's time to liven up the village."
Since the war began, nothing but unpleasant things have happened. Now is the time to leave them alone and move on.
Just as Konoha has always been passed down.
Where the leaves are flying, the fire is also burning.
Then it will bring a new beginning.
Just as Miss Ugetsu said.
The Third Hokage thought this was a very good opportunity.
"Is this just a child's joke? Are you guys just fooling around with a little girl who doesn't know what she's talking about?"
Something that has no meaning and no advantages other than being noisy?
"Isn't this kind of simple happiness great? It's been a long time since the village or the ninjas have experienced it." The Third Hokage said with a smile, "I think Miss Ugetsu's suggestion is very good."
"Even if it requires the use of a large number of ninjas?"
"Even so... ah, come to think of it, there are many excellent ninjas in the Root, why not join us?"
The three generations thought very simply.
Since it was a big event for Konoha Village, the roots that also belonged to Konoha should also join in. Even if they were destined to sacrifice something for the sake of the village, it didn't mean they couldn't have fun with the village.
Shimura Danzo: “…”
He never expected that while he was trying to stop someone with his eye drops, the other party was actually trying to dig his feet.
And it's for such a boring and ridiculous thing.
Danzo narrowed his eyes and looked at his former teammates. After a long moment, he said in a hoarse and low voice:
"You're old, Hiruzen."
He has become so old that he has become confused and can no longer lead Konoha forward properly.
His Konoha must find a more correct and powerful path.
"Yeah, we're all old."
The Third Hokage did not refute, but sighed with emotion.
“Now is the time to let the young people play.”
A slight smile appeared on his old face.
"Right, Danzo."
——What a ghost.
Shimura Danzo's expression became even more uncertain.
Let young people play their part? What do young people know?
How dare they say they understand Konoha and know what is good for the village?
"It's too early."
"It's not too early. If it weren't for the war, we would have retreated long ago."
The Third Hokage shook his head.
"Once the new Hokage takes office, the two of us can drink tea and go fishing together and have a good rest."
Who wants a break?
The more Shimura Danzo listened, the angrier he became.
He even couldn't help but feel resentful towards his old teammate in front of him.
But seeing that several of his former 'old teammates' - now Konoha elders - were nodding, he couldn't lose his temper at this time.
After all, what they are saying now is 'for the future of Konoha'.
For a person who always talks about "for Konoha, for justice", this is the first time that someone uses the same words to choke him.
Whether it's that little girl or these former teammates who have become old and ignorant.
We can't go on like this.
Under his loose sleeves, Shimura Danzo clenched his fists.
Konoha made such a big fuss and had no intention of hiding it, so it was natural that other ninja villages could not have failed to notice it.
Faced with the news they heard, the leaders of each ninja village also had their own opinions.
There is one thing in common among them.
That is, they all didn't believe that there was such a big commotion in Konoha, and it was really just a store holding some competition.
They would rather believe that this was some conspiracy of Konoha.
A conspiracy to fight against them, or to make them afraid to act.
Otherwise, everyone was impoverished by the war and almost back to the time before the village was built. Why were they the only ones who could still do such fancy things?
"This is definitely a conspiracy of Konoha!"
Fengying's words were like a summary.
It expressed the thoughts of the top leaders of each ninja village.
Faced with Konoha's actions, other ninja villages will certainly not sit idly by.
They sent out investigation teams one after another. In order not to trigger a new round of war, they also used disguises and sent some elite ninjas who were good at gathering intelligence to disguise themselves and sneak into the caravan to find out what was going on.
It is impossible to cause trouble in Konoha.
But as for fighting... I really can't do it anymore.
Unlike those lone crazy people, the people in the ninja village are all wealthy and have families to support, which is a heavy burden.
After a few years, the family's assets have been almost exhausted. Most of the young and middle-aged people who are the backbone of the team have disappeared, and the new generation is useless. If the situation continues like this, even if they can win, they will soon be separated from the village.
Under such cruel pressure, people have and can only choose the most traditional and safest way.
'Lurking and spying'.
It would be best if you could blend into the event...if that's not possible, then you have to get in close contact with them.
So, the Konoha Village, which originally only enjoyed itself, inexplicably welcomed a new wave of tourist traffic.
It is unknown how much pressure was added to the Konoha ninjas, but the restaurants, hotels and related supply chain industries in Konoha made a lot of money. Some shops that were usually very popular were even more difficult to get a seat, and people had to queue up to eat.
Although Yu Yue's shop has become busier, the business hours and patterns have been fixed after all, and no matter how many people come, they have to follow the rules.
In addition, with the addition of the general Uchiha Mikoto, although it has become busier, the overall impact is not that great.
She even had some free time to go out with Uchiha Shisui to help him.
Seeing the two of them walking further and further away, Uchiha Shisui finally couldn't help himself:
"Where are we going?"
“My milk tea workshop.”
Yu Yue pointed to a house not far away. The boy looked in the direction of her finger and saw a somewhat unfamiliar building.
It was called a milk tea workshop, but he clearly remembered that this place was...
"Isn't this the orphanage in Konoha?"
"That's right."
Ugetsu confirmed his words.
"But this does not conflict with the fact that it is now my milk tea workshop."
After all, no one stipulates that you can’t work part-time in an orphanage, right?
In fact, to be honest, the cost of a milk tea shop is not low.
Rent (this is the real big expense), decoration, machines, labor...the pure raw material cost is actually the least among them.
But Yu Yue is just trying to test the waters this time, and taking advantage of the event to do some on-site promotion, so renting machines and the like can be omitted.
And artificial...
Isn’t this the best, most appropriate, and mutually beneficial existence?
The orphanage needed more funding, and I needed to save costs and have reliable employees.
Isn't this just like the sleepiness hitting the pillow, and they just hit it off?
When the two of them walked to the door, two people, one big and one small, were standing at the door to greet them.
"Ms. Yu Yue, you are here."
The director, pharmacist Nono, who was smiling
"How are the preparations going?"
"Everything is going as you arranged. Everyone is working very hard. Judging from the current progress, we can definitely catch up."
The one who answered was not Yakushi Nono, but a little kid beside her.
Although he was young and looked thin and malnourished, his pronunciation and logic were very clear, which made Uchiha Shisui take a second look.
The little boy with gray hair ignored him and just stared at their 'financial sponsor' Yu Yue, nervously waiting for her response.
"That's good."
Yu Yue nodded with satisfaction and made the arrangements.
"It's a good thing to be diligent and motivated. Shisui, remember to tell Kakashi when you get back and ask him to make an extra pot of syrup for everyone."
"...Okay, I understand."
As Uchiha Shisui said this, he remotely sympathized with Hatake Kakashi who was still working for a second.
He certainly didn't know that Miss Yu Yue's trip would increase his workload.
On the other hand, hearing her
Dean Nono, the pharmacist, and the short gray-haired boy both looked moved.
As villagers of Konoha Village, they knew how popular syrup was. Of course, they also understood what kind of hot commodity it was.
You can tell by the fact that people start lining up at dawn every day.
It is because I know this that I am even more moved.
Miss Ugetsu actually gave such a precious commodity to the children.
That's so generous.
After all, the children in the orphanage have to save even their old toys to play with, let alone the hottest and most fashionable products of the moment?
Even the little boy who had been frowning all the time showed a look of joy.
"Everyone will be very happy, Dou, go tell everyone the good news later."
Pharmacist Nono touched the head of the boy beside him and said with a smile.
"……Um!"
The young man nodded vigorously. There was a gleam in his eyes, and when he looked at Yu Yue, there was a little more respect in his eyes.
Miss Yu Yue is the dean and everyone’s benefactor!
Not only do they give them the opportunity to work and earn money, but they also give them gifts.
Aside from the Dean, she was the second kindest person he had ever met.
I must work hard and never let her down.
Little Yakushi Kabuto swore to himself.
However, Ugetsu brought Shisui with him and followed the pharmacist Nono to inspect her "milk tea workshop".
Although in modern cities, blindly opening a milk tea shop without any consideration is definitely a dead end.
But this is Konoha, a barren area without even syrup. What awaits Ugetsu and her milk tea is a vast expanse of blue ocean.
In fact, Yu Yue didn't think of milk tea at first. After all, compared with other businesses, it was too inconspicuous.
But the few times she drank tea here, it was too bitter.
Whether it was the tea given to her by Shisui or the one she drank in the Hokage's office, it was all very bitter tea. Although everyone seems to be used to it, it can be seen from the various drinks that everyone buys when they buy blind boxes.
People don't complain, but that doesn't mean they really like it that much.
This reminded Yu Yue of milk tea, a popular product that is popular in every street corner and has a wide audience from kindergarten to retirement age.
It just so happens that there are many foreign businessmen and tourists recently. There is both traffic and freshness. If the promotion is done well, why worry about not becoming a hit?
to
As for why Konoha suddenly had so many more tourists... did it have anything to do with her? As a businessman, she just wanted as many tourists as possible.
These are all her potential customers.
"Here are the tasting cups prepared in advance."
Pharmacist Nono opened the temporary warehouse and began to introduce it.
"Here is a bamboo bucket you can take away."
"We have also prepared the utensils for making milk tea. Everything will be prepared strictly according to the specifications you gave. The children have also practiced it several times. If you need it, everything can be prepared within five minutes."
Pharmacist Nono proudly introduced their recent achievements.
In addition to being proud of the children's abilities, they also feel that this is a completely new path for their orphanage.
If the cooperation could be successfully completed, she wouldn't have to worry about the operating expenses of the orphanage. At least, she and the orphanage would no longer be strangled by that person.
The children who have already lost everything no longer have to worry about losing this last place of shelter.
There was both emotion and feeling in Yakushi Nono's eyes as he looked at Ugetsu.
When she was treating her before, she could never have imagined that such a thin girl with a sickly face could solve the orphanage's funding problem and provide them with a brand new way out.
I hope Miss Yu Yue's 'milk tea' can be sold smoothly...
No, not smoothly, it has to sell very well.
A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the gentle young dean. !
