It’s not that this is not done well.
only……
"Isn't this the Hokage Building?"
That’s right, the work from Uchiha is the famous core building of Konoha, the ‘Hokage Building’.
It’s not that people think the Hokage Building is bad. In fact, under normal circumstances, this lifelike Hokage Building would even draw cheers. It’s just that with Scorpion’s extremely exquisite Puppet House online, this well-known Hokage Building, which is characterized by its simplicity and conventions, seems too ordinary.
Yes, yes, it is amazing that it can be done so lifelike.
But that's just a simple Hokage building.
Even the color of the exterior is similar to the original color of the syrup, and there is no special ingenuity in it. If there is no comparison with the exquisite puppet house of Scorpion, this Hokage Building with the word "fire" made on it must be well-deservedly exquisite.
But I am afraid of comparison.
Just as people's discussions were getting louder, Uzumaki Kushina's voice rang out:
"Yes, as you can see, this is the symbol of our Konoha, the Hokage Building. But!"
She bought another lawsuit.
"This isn't just the Hokage building!"
Following her voice, the people showing the works cooperated by turning the Hokage Building around and applying the lighting.
"That! That is!"
Someone discovered the mechanism.
"Isn't that the Hokage Rock?"
"Really? It's the Hokage Rock!"
"How did it merge in? It's amazing!"
That's right, Uchiha's ingenuity is to use the sense of space and visual effects to integrate Hokage Rock into the Hokage Building, and if you look closely, you will find that you can see the silhouettes of people in the room from some windows.
Excellent sense of space and superb technology, without either one of them, this work cannot be completed.
It was only because of his Sharingan that this Uchiha, who had the most dexterous hands, was able to complete such a huge workload in such a short time.
Thinking about the experience of having to be on duty and working secretly during this period, he almost wanted to shed tears of bitterness.
It’s better to work in a leisurely manner.
Although it is a bit uncomfortable to be ignored.
In fact, until yesterday, he was planning to build the Uchiha Guard Force Building.
But after watching the morning game, there are
What people said at noon made him change his mind.
The Konoha Guard Building is nice and it really represents the Uchiha.
But they live in Konoha and represent Konoha in the competition. For people, the 'Hokage Building' is the core of Konoha, a more impressive and meaningful building.
So he resolutely changed direction, and managed to complete it with the help of the Sharingan of his other companions.
He was in charge of production, while another companion with the Sharingan was responsible for checking and filling in the gaps.
By the end, he seemed to have lost all sense of his body and became one with the syrup.
Fortunately, he did not disappoint everyone's hopes.
Thinking of this, the boy who was between a young man and a teenager couldn't help but clench his fists and smile.
People who saw this scene were also convinced.
It's so exquisite... He is undoubtedly the number one.
Both of them can be said to have achieved the ultimate.
One is the ultimate in refinement, the other is the ultimate in spatial composition.
People applauded again.
The two of them held up the trophy, as well as the autograph that Ugetsu later asked Minato Namikaze for.
Compared with the Uchiha boy who showed a hint of joy on his face, Scorpion's mood was more complicated.
After all, he was from the Sand Village, but the prize was the signature of Konoha's hero.
But looking at the envious eyes of those Konoha teenagers...
Forget it, at worst I can just take it back and use it as a table leg.
After the cheers, the grand award ceremony came to an end.
Although it was getting dark, this was the time when people were satisfied after watching the game.
The bustling stalls that had just restocked their goods, as well as restaurants and shops naturally became the first choice for the guests who were leaving the venue.
Of course, some people were reluctant to leave those exquisite syrup works, but after hearing that there would be a special exhibition later, they all left happily.
The staff also began to clean up after the guests left.
The contestants from all over did not rush back, but gathered in groups of three or four with people they knew, continuing to reminisce and discuss the competition and their own experiences.
Many of them were planning to go shopping nearby later - after all, they were already here, right?
Having also experienced a long battle, they all had the same desire for bustle and prosperity.
Besides, at noon, in order to guard against others' attack
And they can only eat Bingliang Pills and drink water. Wouldn't it be a loss if they don't eat more now? Just now, they heard the people from Konoha say several names, and they were all ready to go and see.
And it was at this time that Yu Yue walked up to the victorious red-haired boy.
Scorpion noticed her the moment she approached him, but she was just an ordinary person and not worth his vigilance, so he ignored her.
"Does your Sand Village also accept commissions from all over the world?"
Ugetsu looked at the red-haired boy with a pretty face in front of him.
Compared to others, the boy can be described as 'refined', which makes him stand out among a group of ninjas.
Scorpion raised his eyelids without much interest.
"So what?"
This is in Konoha. Asking a ninja from another village this question, isn't that just asking for trouble?
He snorted in his heart.
But he had just won and was in a good mood so he was willing to say a few words back.
I hope this person will be more tactful and leave soon.
However, Yu Yue didn't care about his lukewarm attitude - most people with a skill were like this. She had seen even worse ones in modern times.
That doesn't mean he has any real talent or knowledge.
In comparison, Scorpio, who has both solid technical skills and innovative abilities, is good enough if he is just a little cold and impatient.
She took a half step forward, and spoke amid the vigilance of Uchiha Shisui and the alertness of everyone in the Sand Village behind her:
"Can I hire you then?"
The red-haired boy, Scorpion of the Red Sand, sneered:
"Hire me? You in Konoha?"
"No way?" Yu Yue asked in confusion, "Does it mean that I have to go to the Sand Village if I want to commission you?"
That would be a bit troublesome.
Although she had paid for Uchiha Shisui's services for the entire year, leaving the village would most likely be counted as another mission, which meant she would have to pay more.
Considering that this lousy place doesn't even have public transportation...
She really didn't want to experience the human roller coaster again.
It's enough to try it once in an emergency. If she has to do this from Konoha to the Sand Village, she'll probably be dead before she even gets there.
The red-haired boy was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips into an interested smile.
"sure."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the people of Konoha around him.
"We, the Sand Village,
We welcome commissions from anywhere.”
He emphasized the words 'anywhere'.
This is really interesting.
As a ninja from the Sand Village, he received a commission from local residents in Konoha Village, the headquarters of the Konoha ninja.
Is there anything more interesting than this?
The outcome that wasn’t decided on the field just now, maybe we can have another round here?
And this time it was the other party who came to him on his own initiative... Doesn't that mean he won the next round first?
Even if it is a very boring task, Scorpion of the Red Sand doesn't mind taking it.
Money is not important. What matters is to see these Konoha ninjas being humiliated.
His gaze returned to the girl in front of him.
This child probably doesn't know the intricacies of this matter... But now that she has spoken, she has no choice.
"What kind of work do you want to entrust?"
"That is..."
"Wait!" Yu Yue was interrupted just as she opened her mouth.
Turning around and looking in the direction of the voice, he saw the Third Hokage and other Konoha high-ranking officials approaching.
Of course, what they care about is not just one or two small commissions.
The reason they interrupted so hastily was for the sake of Konoha Village's reputation.
Just as Scorpion of the Red Sand thought.
As a resident of Konoha Village, you have to entrust people from other villages to do things in your own village - if this is not a lack of trust in the ninjas of your own village, then what is it?
For a moment, many people looked at Yu Yue with strange eyes.
Fortunately, the impact of the just-concluded "Sugar Syrup Competition" is still there, so no one immediately calls for fighting and killing.
"If there is any mission, it's the same if we entrust it to the ninjas of Konoha."
The third generation still had that cheerful smile on his face.
"Scorpion is certainly an excellent ninja from the Sand Village, but the ninjas of Konoha are not bad either."
As he spoke, his eyes moved around Namikaze Minato, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Shisui.
"Besides, we are all acquaintances now, so it's easier to talk about anything, right?"
What the third generation said is of course reasonable, but...
"Of course the ninjas of Konoha are excellent, but some technical matters..."
"Is there anything Konoha can't do?"
An unpleasant, gloomy voice came from behind the Sandai.
A man in white
A man with undressed clothes and a drooping face walked out.
"Danzo-sama."
Seeing him, people around him saluted.
"Tell me, is there anything that Konoha's ninja can't do?"
How could the Konoha Village, which he protected so carefully, be worse than the Sand Village?
"I heard that the puppetry technique of the Sand Village is unique."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yu Yue did not show any stage fright.
"Then he should have his own set of techniques and experience in making and refining puppets."
"Of course."
As puppeteers, they would rather hear people praise their "technology" and "puppet" than praise themselves.
Yu Yue's words hit them right in the heart.
Although this little girl is young and looks sickly, she is very knowledgeable.
Scorpion nodded secretly.
Even if he doesn't make money on this order... no, even if he loses some money, he will accept the commission.
It not only makes Konoha suffer a loss, but also provides service to the knowledgeable client (Party A). For the ninja, it is a perfect outcome of killing two birds with one stone.
"this……"
The third generation was also stunned for a moment. He never expected this answer.
It is of course impossible to say that Konoha has no technical reserves at all for puppets.
But compared with the Sand Village which really specializes in this.
That is indeed a drop in the bucket.
After all, each ninja village has its own unique secret skills.
He had never thought that someone would have such an unpopular demand.
It is true that each ninja has his own strengths, and there will be times when the client has certain inclinations or needs.
But most of the requests are for ninjutsu or genjutsu, rather than specific skills. Most of the time, people still make requests based on the result theory of "as long as the commission can be completed."
As for whether this ninja uses ninjutsu, illusion or family secret technique, it doesn't matter.
Therefore, he naturally assumed that the same was true for Ugetsu's commission.
He was speechless for a moment.
Shimura Danzo frowned:
"Is it possible that your commission cannot be completed except through puppetry?"
“Not exactly, but almost.”
Yu Yue gave them some face.
"Then tell me, what is the commission that made you feel that the puppetry of the Sand Village is the only option?"
He raised his eyebrows, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes when he looked at Yu Yue.
Noticed his instant change.
Namikaze Minato, Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui all subconsciously moved closer to Ugetsu.
Namikaze Minato frowned even more.
He certainly didn't think that Lord Danzo would attack innocent villagers of Konoha.
But it was too much to release murderous intent towards a frail and sickly little girl just because of a problem.
Even though Ms. Ugetsu's words sounded detrimental to Konoha, she had never done anything to let Konoha down, and at this moment she was only talking about her own needs.
"Danzo-sama."
He spoke.
"Namikaze Minato, it's not your turn to speak yet."
Danzo Shimura didn't give him any face at all. His eyes were still fixed on the girl in front of him, and he insisted that she explain it.
Scorpion also stared at the girl in front of him.
As a ninja, what mission has he not taken on?
Whether it's killing people or burning things or eliminating competitors, even if it's against Konoha... it's not impossible.
No matter what she said, Scorpion was ready to respond perfectly and make it look like "only a Sand Ninja could do it."
Come on, tell me what you want to commission.
The red-haired boy unconsciously became excited.
"It's like this, I need to customize a batch of figures that meet my requirements... well, they're dolls, so let's understand it this way for now."
Considering that people here might not understand what "figure" means, she switched to a more understandable term.
"……ha?"
The scene was so quiet at one point that you could hear a pin drop.
"Because the requirements are quite numerous and very detailed, I think it should be made by a puppeteer from the Sand Village who specializes in this field."
Ugetsu looked around.
"What's the problem?"
Konoha Ninja: ???
Ninja from Sand Village: ???
Scorpion of the Red Sand: ...?
Any questions?
This is a big problem.
Everyone looked at Yu Yue with something strange in their eyes.
Even the scorpions looked at each other as if they were some new species.
For a moment, he even thought that this 'client' was actually hired by Konoha to play a trick on them.
However, Yu Yue was not joking and was speaking very seriously.
“Although absolute solidity is not required, image, beauty, and production according to my requirements are necessary.”
"The puppet masters of the Sand Village should be better at this job."
Ninjas of the Sand Village: We don't know whether we are good at it or not, but we do realize that your mission is outrageous and incredible.
"You mean, you want us puppeteers to make toys for you?"
Scorpion of the Red Sand raised an eyebrow.
The teenager was not as indifferent as later generations. His beloved puppet and the technology he was proud of were treated as "toy making", which undoubtedly angered him. He stared at the girl in front of him. If she dared to say "yes", don't blame him for being rude.
However, Yu Yue seemed even more surprised than them.
"Why do you think so!?"
She was even a little angry.
"This is everyone's dream! It's the embodiment of longing!" She said, looking at the other person with a 'how can you be so superficial' look.
scorpion:"……"
It was clearly her request that was just a joke, so why does it seem like he is wrong now?
"How can you look down on your own skills like that!"
She continued.
"You've worked so hard to practice puppetry for so many years, but to you it's just something to make toys?"
I didn't say that, you said it.
Also, this is clearly our puppeteer’s business, why do you seem even angrier than us?
The ninjas of Sand Village looked at the angry Ugetsu in bewilderment. They were a little confused and felt it was very magical.
"I didn't say that."
Scorpion frowned.
“Also, what is a dream?”
What is the connection between puppets and dreams?
"Of course!"
Yu Yue said confidently.
"Because what I'm going to produce is the "Wind and Cloud Ninja" series!"
"Fengyun?"
"Ninja?"
"Yes, this is the tentative name of the series... Ah, the name is not important, it can be changed. The point is that I plan to make a series of dolls based on the heroes of each ninja village, to satisfy the dream of meeting the heroes you admire, to have a role model, and to gain the power of role models."
“What I sell is not cold commodities, but dreams and the power of role models!”
Just like countless card games
.
Is it really a game? No, they are spending money on their husbands, wives, sons and daughters!
Even if it is a dress-up game, it is about buying beautiful clothes for your daughter/son, not just for a string of cold data - otherwise, if you just want beautiful clothes, wouldn't it be enough to go out and buy one for yourself?
"???"
"You think that, for Konoha, Lord Namikaze Minato is everyone's hero, right?"
"Um."
Even the people in the Sand Village would not deny this.
"And the Third-generation Master is the head of the family that everyone trusts and admires, right?"
"That's right."
This is also true. The Third Hokage is a well-known figure, and he is a respected figure not only in Konoha Village, but also in other ninja villages.
Ninjas are so realistic and believe that strength is the most important thing.
As long as you are strong enough, you can win the respect of other ninjas.
“There are many people who regard these two as idols, right?”
“…I-Is that so?”
"So what's the problem if I make dolls of the two of them so that everyone who admires them can have one?"
The girl's voice was deafening.
?
Everyone was tired of the question mark in their mind. What was this feeling that seemed outrageous but also seemed to make a little sense?
"No. That's not right."
Scorpion of the Red Sand called a halt.
"You mean to say that you want us to be puppets of Konoha's...heroes?"
He looked as if he was eating a fly.
What is longing for or not longing for or not dreaming about or not dreaming about...
What's wrong with you letting the ninjas from the Sand Village be puppets of the Konoha ninjas? And they're puppets of the Konoha ninjas.
It would be more reasonable to entrust them with the assassination.
This time it was Konoha's turn to laugh.
They also have no way of understanding what it means to have aspirations or not, or to have dreams or not.
But they were quite happy to let the puppeteer of Sand Village make puppets for the 'Hero of Konoha'.
Although the ninja villages are not always in a state of hostility, it is so joyful to see people from other ninja villages being defeated - it is as refreshing as drinking an iced cola in the hot summer.
Will you do it?
No way, no way, the famous puppeteer of the Sand Village can't do this?
Some people smiled with gloating attitude.
But the people of Sand Village were not willing to be outdone.
"Although this job is difficult... there is no other way. Besides us, there is no one else who can do it."
A ninja from the Sand Village said this, his eyes 'subtlely' sweeping over the people in Konoha.
Although he didn't say it out loud, the meaning of "Who told you that Konoha doesn't even have the ability to make a puppet of your own hero?" was still clearly conveyed to everyone's consciousness.
The people of Konoha finally reacted.
Yes, although it is satisfying to see the people of the Sand Village get humiliated, but Konoha’s own hero is left to others... Doesn’t this seem to be saying that Konoha is incompetent?
That won't work.
So people turned their attention to the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura, hoping that they could come up with a plan to prevent Konoha from losing face.
The Third Hokage: "..."
Shimura Danzo: “…”
The current situation is that we are in a difficult situation.
In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Miss Yu Yue's request now.
It was completely a confrontation between Konoha and the Sand Village - although neither side had thought of this development.
But now that things have come to this, no one can back down.
Shimura Danzo spoke decisively:
"Who said no one can do it?"
As he spoke, he glanced in a direction behind the Third Hokage.
"As for 'technical geniuses', we in Konoha certainly have some."
He turned sideways.
"That's right, Orochimaru. I believe that with your skills, you are able to complete this task perfectly."
Orochimaru, who had been watching the fun from the shadows at the back: “?”
The others' attention also shifted to Orochimaru because of Shimura Danzo's words.
At this time, Orochimaru did not have that strange sense of clothing, but wore Konoha's universal uniform in a proper manner. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he was also stunned.
What's my skill?
Of course I have the skills, but what kind of puppet do you want me to make?
Are you crazy or am I crazy?
Orochimaru was not a man without temper, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, especially with Danzo Shimura and his teacher looking at him, there was no way he could say something that would bring shame to Konoha.
After all, what Shimura Danzo said was equivalent to putting him under a siege.
If he doesn't know how to appreciate it.
That with his
With his temper, he will definitely not get anything good done to him.
"Yes, Orochimaru's skills can definitely be trusted."
Seeing that his old teammate gave him an opportunity, the Third Hokage immediately followed suit.
"Really?"
Scorpion raised his chin arrogantly.
"Just because a ninja is good doesn't mean his puppetry skills are good."
Of course he had heard of the names of Konoha's 'Three Ninjas'.
But that was just his reputation as a ninja, not his reputation for his skills.
Who can tolerate such a provocation?
No matter how unwilling Orochimaru was, he couldn't stand this kind of face-to-face attack.
He immediately laughed hoarsely:
“Knowing too much can be a hassle sometimes, because it becomes hard to choose which ones to show to others. Then I envy those who are only outstanding in one or two areas .”
Of course the Sand Village wouldn't do that.
"Damn it, you—"
Are you trying to say that we have nothing to show for it except puppetry?!
The young ninja couldn't help but curse. Fortunately, there was an experienced person beside him who covered his mouth, so that the sarcasm didn't turn into a real verbal battle.
"There's no other way. Specializing in a technology requires countless time and energy. It's not like just learning it casually. It really doesn't take much time to just learn the basics."
It's just sarcastic, who can't do that?
"That's really hard for you." Orochimaru's voice was like a snake's hissing, "It must be very difficult to have no results or breakthroughs for many years."
The two sides began to confront each other across the rain and moon.
Konoha was unwilling to lose the battle, and the Sand Village certainly was unwilling to miss this opportunity to ridicule Konoha.
As for making toys...
Is this a toy issue? No, this is a big issue of face between the two villages.
Ugetsu: ...
Can these people listen to what is being said?
She just used Konoha as an example, but she didn't say 'only do Konoha'.
Narrow-minded, these people have very narrow-minded thinking.
There are so many countries and ninja villages in the world. If you only do business with Konoha and the Land of Fire, you will be going the wrong way.
As a businessman, of course your goals have to be bigger and bigger.
Since we are going to create an IP, of course we have to include the five major ninja villages.
But there's nothing wrong with this.
She thought for two seconds.
If originally she was the only one who was commissioned, now the situation has changed.
With multiple options, that is bidding.
She made the request as the 'tenderer', and the two ninja villages competed as 'bidders' for the job she gave.
In order to win the bid, bidding companies in later generations would do everything they could - although the work of a puppet would not cause two ninja villages to tear each other apart.
But she has more room to maneuver.
No matter the price, requirements, or even the workmanship and delivery time, she can be more demanding... ahem, in short, she can select the best candidates.
Yu Yue started to eat melons and wait for both sides to show their cards.
But the ninjas soon realized that it was no use for them to continue the confrontation like this, because the decision-making power did not lie with each other, but with Ugetsu.
So both sides turned their eyes to Yu Yue at the same time.
As for Yu Yue, who was at the center of the storm, she was not afraid at all - it was not like she had not seen this scene before.
She took a step forward and cleared her throat.
"I know that both Konoha and Sand Village are excellent and powerful ninja villages. As the elites of the villages, Mr. Orochimaru and Mr. Sasori are also rare talents."
After some consolation, both sides seemed to be much calmer.
No one can ever say too much good things.
"In this situation, making a rash choice would undoubtedly be disrespectful to both parties, so I think we should follow the rules of the ninjas and speak with strength."
"Um."
"So how do we compare?"
Neither of them had any objection to her proposal.
Compared to ninjas, being weak is the original sin. When a strong person speaks, there is nothing wrong with him.
Therefore, the two of them were only concerned about how to demonstrate their strength.
Are we going to have a fight?
If they were restricted to using puppets, Orochimaru would definitely suffer.
This is unfair.
People have their own considerations.
But Yu Yue just smiled.
"Since the goal is to make dolls, then of course we need to show relevant strengths - I will write down the requirements for the 'Wind and Cloud Ninja' series dolls later." Yu Yue's eyes moved around the faces of the people around him. "And what you need to do is to make a project plan based on my requirements. Then the one who is better and more impressive will be the producer of 'Wind and Cloud Ninja'. How about it?"
Orochimaru and Scorpion looked at each other, then turned away in disgust at each other.
"That's fine with me."
Orochimaru spoke first.
Seeing that he answered so straightforwardly, Scorpion did not hesitate - otherwise wouldn't it seem that they were weak and afraid of Konoha?
"We have no objections, you are welcome to give us your suggestions." Scorpion paused, "I just wonder if there are any other explanations or considerations for this 'planning'?"
Ugetsu glanced at the two of them.
Although Orochimaru didn't ask, Ugetsu could see some inquiry in his expression. He was obviously waiting for her answer.
How can you find shortcuts ?
Then she sighed:
"You are all the best in your respective ninja villages. Why can't you exercise more subjective initiative and think creatively on your own?"!
