Chapter 185 Job Fair
Yuyue Store never hides its recruitment.
On the contrary, Yu Yue wishes that all the talents in the world could see her recruitment.
The talented people in this world are all capable and easy to talk to, and she likes them very much.
Compared to the applicants in another world who think they are the best in the world just because they have achieved a little success, the employees in this world are simply the reincarnation of Bodhisattvas.
Gender, origin, age, etc., are not important.
But for people in the ninja world, this is subversive.
Because there is no discrimination, as long as you work diligently, you will get the corresponding rewards, and all kinds of grievances and hatreds from the outside world will not be brought in.
This has become a holy place in the minds of many people who have been persecuted for various reasons in the past.
In the past, people didn’t come because most of them were just waiting and watching.
They have lived through hard times for many years and really don't have the courage to take risks.
If they are not allowed to see the actual results, they will never dare to gamble.
The days of wandering were like scars deeply engraved in their hearts. Even though their current life could not be described as happy, they did not have the courage to take risks for an unknown opportunity.
Life may be hard now, but at least we can live well.
But if you gamble... then no one knows what the result will be. If you are lucky enough to have a good ending, it's fine, but if not, what if it makes things worse?
Even if you dare, what about your fellow tribesmen behind you?
Who would dare to take risks with their own people, who are already few in number?
Therefore, even though they had seen recruitment information at Yuyue Store several times before, they did not dare to take action.
Just watch those who are in similar situations as you to help you explore the way forward.
One month, two months.
One year, two years.
After several years of observation, they have determined that Yuyue Store is truly a paradise for "poor people" like them, so they will naturally not miss this opportunity to apply for the job.
Especially for the Uzumaki clan scattered everywhere.
"Mother!!!"
The red-haired girl with glasses rushed home grabbing a piece of paper.
The mother, who also had beautiful red hair, looked at the other person in surprise.
"What's wrong? You can't be so impatient. You have to..."
"Yuyue Store, Yuyue Store is hiring!
And, we are hiring people who are good at sealing techniques!"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, her mother was stunned.
"Really?"
She quickly took the recruitment notice from the girl's hand.
“Really…”
The woman was a little dazed.
"Mom! Let's go!"
The red-haired girl with glasses said excitedly.
"Mom is from the Uzumaki clan! When it comes to sealing techniques, no one is more proficient than us!"
She looked excited.
Although life is not bad now because there is no war, that is the Ugetsu store.
The most novel, magical and amazing things in the world all come from there.
There are also stories like "Young Heroes" and "Ninja Girls" that you never get tired of watching.
Because the news from Kusagakure Village is lagging behind, she still hasn't bought several limited edition peripherals.
There are second-hand ones, but the prices are beyond her ability to afford now.
If I could work in Ugetsu Store, I would definitely not miss it again.
She didn't want to make up for the missed limit.
They can’t even get them by force, how could there be any stock left?
Seeing her daughter's excited expression, the red-haired woman's expression became firm.
"I see."
She carefully smoothed the job posting in her hand.
"Karin, pack up, we'll leave tomorrow."
Now that you have decided to go, it is better to go sooner rather than later.
Although she is quite confident in the art of sealing, there will always be people better than you.
You can't really feel safe just because you are a member of the Uzumaki clan.
Besides.
Even if it’s the Uzumaki clan… she’s not the only one there.
If other members of the tribe who escaped from the genocide also saw this job posting, they would surely be tempted. If there were not enough positions, or if they were not selected, or if they were a step too late and the positions were already filled...
No, it can't.
Thinking of this, the woman's heart sank even more.
"No, we're leaving tonight!"
"Tonight? That's too short a time. We won't have enough time to clean up."
Her clothes, her collections...
It would take several hours just to figure out how to bring those.
“
Just take the essentials, we have to be quick.”
The woman looked at her child seriously.
"Yu Yue Store didn't say how many people they were hiring. If we go too late and the recruitment quota is full, we don't know when the next one will be."
Hearing her mother say this, the girl named Karin also shuddered violently.
"I understand, I'll go clean it up right away!"
If I really get shut out because I’m a step late, and miss out on future limited edition peripherals and new works…
She will regret it all her life.
Similar things are happening in many places.
Because the world has been quite peaceful since the Third Shinobi World War, and there have been almost no conflicts and frictions between ninja villages that need to be resolved violently, those bloodline limit ninjas who have fled everywhere have also been given a glimmer of hope.
Whether hiding in the deep mountains and forests, or blending into other ninja villages.
At least I saved my life.
But on the other hand, the competitive pressure among people has also increased.
After all, there is definitely a difference between one person applying for a position and ten or even dozens of people applying for the same position.
Therefore, the ninjas who considered themselves to be "professionally qualified" began to take action nervously.
Never let others get there first!
Meanwhile, in Akatsuki's headquarters, Nagato was staring at the recruitment notice that Konan brought back.
"How about it?"
Seeing that Nagato didn't answer for a long time, Konan asked again.
"Speaking of sealing techniques, there is probably no one stronger than your Uzumaki clan."
Xiaonan thought this was a good opportunity.
She had personally experienced how good the treatment was and how reliable the Yu Yue Store was.
So after seeing this job posting, she thought Nagato could also give it a try.
They're both working to earn money, so isn't it better to work for Yuyue Store than for those small bosses who are busy and troublesome?
Nagato: "That being said, but..."
Xiaonan: "Then what's the good thing?"
Nagato: "Have you forgotten that I have been wandering with you since I was a child, and I didn't grow up in the Uzumaki clan."
Xiaonan: “…”
It seems that this is the case.
She only looked at Nagato's red hair and thought that he was from the Uzumaki clan.
But I forgot that he was also wandering
A street child born in the days of.
Xiaonan pressed his forehead.
All she could say was that the recent days had been so gentle and peaceful that she had forgotten about those things.
Those past times when we were lonely and struggling to survive.
It's strange to say, the 'past' that I used to reminisce from time to time, but I rarely think about it in recent years.
Not only do I seldom think about it, but most of the time, it seems as if I have 'forgotten' it.
If you don't try to recall it, you won't even think about it.
When I occasionally think about it, I feel very dazed.
"This has happened before."
'Is it ever really like this?'
It's like living in two completely different worlds.
"Sorry, that's it..."
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Konan was about to give up, but was interrupted by Nagato.
She turned her head and looked over with a puzzled look.
You haven't learned the sealing technique systematically in the Uzumaki clan, so why is it not impossible?
"Although I haven't learned it systematically in the Uzumaki clan, I have been exposed to sealing techniques a lot over the years."
That's true.
Furthermore, Nagato also felt that he might really have some talent in sealing techniques.
That's why he was able to research so many techniques in such a short time...even using Yahiko's corpse to make it into 'Pein'.
So if it was just a specialty of sealing techniques, then he felt that he could give it a try.
Of course, whether it can be successful is another matter.
Xiaonan: “That’s true.”
Although Nagato did not systematically learn the sealing technique and therefore could not be considered to have inherited it, the range and difficulty of the sealing techniques he had come into contact with were among the best.
"How about you apply for the job?"
Better to try...than not to try.
——After all, the money given by Yuyue Store is really a lot.
Who wouldn’t want more money, less work and less worry?
If both of them could work for the Yugetsu Store, then the income of the Hidden Rain Village and Akatsuki would probably go to a higher level.
The result of two people's heartbeat.
When Uchiha Obito came up with a new idea and tried to find someone, he discovered that not only Konan, but even Nagato, who had stayed there for many years and was like a part of the base, was missing.
"Pain?"
He walked around several times, even going to the Hidden Rain Village, but still did not see the shadow of the person who should be there.
Not to mention Konan, Nagato is a typical "shut-in".
How can this disappear?
He returned to the Akatsuki base with a confused look on his face.
As the economic situation improved, Akatsuki's base had expanded significantly compared to the past - although the staff had not yet been fully staffed, the space had already been prepared.
In the past, Uchiha Obito was quite proud of the organization's base that he had built with his own hands, but today, when he couldn't find anyone and had to stand here alone, emptiness and loneliness suddenly surged into his heart.
He is like an empty-nest old man who has worked hard all his life, only to find that there is no one around him.
There is nothing but an empty 'house'.
There was even a second when he began to doubt himself.
——After working so hard for so many years, is it really meaningful to set up an "organization" that no one can find and no one can be trusted except yourself?
Pain Mask.jpg
Let’s not discuss what impact the recruitment of Yuyue Store has on people in other places.
Just the mention of this person who came to apply for the job shocked the people who came to inquire.
It was at this time that people realized that there were so many "hidden gems" in the world - it was difficult to find a team in the ninja village that was good at sealing techniques.
But there was a huge crowd of people filling up the entire hall?
And quite a lot of them have extremely conspicuous 'red hair'.
One can't help but sigh:
There are so many people from the Uzumaki clan?
However, although people expressed their feelings, they did not have too many thoughts.
After all, there is no need to fight now, so whether the Uzumaki clan has a large or small number of people doesn’t have much impact on them.
Just shocked.
I was shocked that there were still so many bloodlines that I thought were extinct. And, there were still so many people who were good at sealing techniques.
It feels like a huge group of animals that were thought to be extinct suddenly reappear and walk past you in a swaggering manner.
Outsiders were shocked, but the applicants who came here were quite calm when faced with such a scene.
——They had thought about this possibility before they came.
After all, if you think it's a good job, it's impossible for others not to be tempted at all.
Especially for these exiles who have no protection from the big ninja village.
The Ugetsu store, which is gradually expanding into a 'giant', is an excellent shelter.
As long as I can officially work in Yuyue Store, all the past will be over.
They no longer have to worry about being hunted by their enemies or being coveted by the big and small ninja villages.
As long as they work together and keep the Yuyue Store from going bankrupt, they and even their descendants can be sheltered here.
This is also the reason why more and more ninjas who do not have a fixed ninja village but have bloodline limits choose to work in the Ugetsu Shop.
...Of course, this is also the reason why they are all trying so hard to actively roll themselves up.
Because they didn't want the Yuyue Store, the neutral shelter they had found with great difficulty, to fall, even more than Yuyue did.
This is something that those ninjas who have lived in large ninja villages since birth and are protected by the ninja villages and their elders cannot imagine or understand.
Although the ninjas who came here to apply for the job have not yet started working, they have already had similar ideas in advance.
So when they look at others, especially those who are not of the same race, they are wary and competitive.
It's okay if it's from the same clan, but if I didn't get it and my clan did, at least I can say that it's good for everyone.
If outsiders really got this opportunity, they would be so angry that they would die.
Therefore, before they officially started applying, they "intentionally or unintentionally" began to express their desire for the job and their wish to work for Yuyue Store.
"I once worked for twelve hours straight without taking a break to draw a sealing technique."
"Only twelve hours."
Someone sneered.
"We didn't even have a sip of water for eighteen hours in order to analyze a broken seal."
Almost at the same time as the man spoke, his fellow tribesmen came up to support him.
"That's right. When analyzing something like this, even a second of delay could result in losses. We can't afford to waste time."
Although he didn't mention anyone by name, the question and contempt of "It's only twelve hours, and you still have the nerve to talk about rest?" has already floated out from his hair.
The person who spoke earlier turned green in the face after hearing this.
Looking for trouble, huh?
"I just mentioned it, look how anxious you are."
The man immediately continued.
"Who among those who specialize in sealing techniques hasn't had the experience of working 24 hours straight a few times?"
"The amazing ones can last for 72 hours at a stretch."
It means that those of us who work for 18 hours are not that good.
Although they said it lightly as if they didn't care, in fact, the faces of several people who were quite proud of their ability to work "without drinking water for 18 hours" immediately drooped.
"Seventy-two hours, that's really amazing - I just don't know which senior is responsible for which sealing technique?"
Don't be afraid of sticking your tongue out when you brag.
"This... this is a secret."
The man turned pale but still showed no weakness.
"Anyway, I can always step up if needed."
Eighteen hours or thirty-six hours is no problem!
"Who can't?"
"I can't do it for 72 hours, but 24 hours is no problem."
"I have twenty-eight hours!"
The original confrontation somehow turned into a competition of working hours.
I watched the time increase from the original eighteen hours to thirty-two hours.
Jiraiya's face turned pale.
——No, are these people crazy?
He felt that working ten hours a day in one place was a death sentence, so how dare these people talk about "thirty-two hours"?
Just because they don’t want to live doesn’t mean I don’t want to live too, right?
What if Miss Ugetsu thinks everyone can work thirty-two hours like them?
Wouldn't that make me exhausted to death?
"Orochimaru... No, Obito."
Jiraiya originally wanted to talk to Orochimaru, but when he thought that the other party was also a king of curling, and would suppress himself and Tsunade together, he turned around on the spot and looked at Obito next to him.
Since the analysis work was in charge of Obito and Orochimaru, they naturally came to the scene for this recruitment.
"What's wrong?"
Beiliu Hu was reluctant to divert his gaze away from so many talented people, so he just responded casually.
"This won't work."
Jiraiya was anxious.
"They haven't even started working yet, and they're working so hard. How are we going to live in the future?"
He doesn't want to die suddenly in middle age.
Besides, even if I don’t die, life is so beautiful, I can’t spend every day at work, right?
However, he thought that Bei Liuhu, who would support him, only said:
"Isn't this great? You're already full of energy before you even get here. I'm sure you'll work even harder after you get here."
Hiruko had no idea what Jiraiya was yelling about and what he was worried about.
“This way, our projects can definitely be completed faster.”
——He couldn't wait to learn about the moon and the ancestors of the Hyuga clan who might have lived on the moon.
It doesn't matter even if all those people have died.
As long as the ashes were there, he could continue his analysis.
Before the people of Hyuga know the news.
Because they could not be sure that the person in the illusion was definitely from the Hyuga clan, Ugetsu and the others did not contact the Hyuga clan to explain the situation in order to avoid any complications.
Therefore, the information that there may be someone alive on the moon, and that this person may be related to the Hyuga clan, is still only known to those who have gone to the ruins.
Even the Hokage and the Raikage were unable to get the news immediately due to the strict confidentiality measures.
They just thought that maybe something related to the sealing technique was found in the ruins, or there was a powerful sealing technique blocking the ruins, so Yu Yue recruited relevant personnel on a large scale.
Of course they are curious, but after all, it is a gift of "sincerity" to the Ugetsu Store, so the Hidden Cloud Village will naturally not ask about it at this time.
The other ninja villages were even more embarrassed to ask, not to mention that asking was against the rules and would make them seem like they were greedy for something.
Beiliuhu became more and more excited as he spoke.
“I can’t wait to start working with them.”
For all these years, for his research, he not only had to work alone, but he even had to hide from place to place most of the time.
When you encounter problems or difficulties, don’t even think about having someone to help you. You’d be lucky if you could solve them peacefully.
Now there are so many professional talents coming to help.
Maybe he could even learn a few tricks from them when they weren't paying attention...
It’s really exciting just thinking about it.
Not to mention working for thirty-two hours, he wouldn't be afraid even if he worked until he found clues to the moon.
Jiraiya: “…”
Jiraiya looked at the man who was still staring at him in horror.
Listening to the applicants' humble calls.
For the first time, I regretted my decision to get him back.
He brought you back so that he could share the hardships with him, and even share the pressure with him at times... not so that you could come back and create pressure for me!
In Jiraiya's imagination, this mild-tempered but somewhat stubborn former teammate should have been captured by him and others unwillingly, and then oppressed by Orochimaru together with him and Tsunade, and then the three of them rebelled against Orochimaru together.
But now it seems that they have found a helper for Orochimaru?
That Orochimaru is a guy who is both annoying and scary.
Wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger?
Considering what Obito has done during this period, Jiraiya became depressed.
How can I solve this problem...Should I run away early (although there is a high probability that I will be caught), or find a good place as soon as possible to announce that I want to "retreat"?
In order to avoid being captured by the two crazy people.
Just as two people who were completely on different channels were lost in thought, Orochimaru walked over.
"What are you doing here? If you have nothing to do, why don't you help me distribute the exam papers?"
Orochimaru's unique hoarse voice rang out, immediately pulling the two back from their thoughts.
"Exam paper? What exam paper?"
Isn't this a job application? Why is there an exam paper?
"The candidates for this recruitment are all specialized in 'Sealing Technique' - of course, the results on the examination papers are more telling than just words."
Orochimaru smiled.
He is the one who believes in 'questions' and 'answers' more than what people say.
Rather than talking big but doing nothing, it is better to eliminate those who are not strong enough.
He wrote nine questions on the test paper about sealing techniques from different schools and situations.
In this way, we can judge people's comprehensive strength relatively fairly and impartially.
"Wait, isn't this last question...a part of the sealing technique that we haven't yet cracked?"
Compared to Jiraiya who was completely confused, Hokage read the question at a glance and immediately found the problem.
"That's right."
Orochimaru nodded.
"For the last question, I call it a 'thinking question'. The purpose of this question is not to require them to be able to decipher it - of course, if someone can really decipher it, that would be great - I can even directly ask Miss Yu Yue to recruit people."
"The reason for asking this question is mainly to motivate them and help us find more ideas and directions."
“Perhaps the answer that we are looking for that can lead to our destination lies in these ideas.”
Anyway, no one has a clear answer to what the ancient sealing technique is.
It would be better to pool ideas from the beginning.
Sometimes, it is the accidental ideas of those who are not mature and capable enough that can lead to successful outcomes.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked at the examinee.
——Since you are here, how can you not leave something behind? !
