"If all I want is a puppet that is exactly the same as I requested, without any innovation, do I need to go out of my way to find the elite among ninjas like you? I can just go to an ordinary carpenter's shop to get a commission!"
——It’s fake. How can a carpenter’s shop have ninjas who understand ninjas? How can they make lifelike and exquisite puppets?
In addition, considering other people's work schedules and arrangements...it is definitely not possible to get them as often as you wish.
But he definitely couldn't say that. Not only could he not say that, Yu Yue also put on an expression that was both serious and regretful.
"The reason why I chose these two elites is because I believe that only you can strive for excellence and create the most perfect dolls that can best satisfy people's aspirations and wishes."
Seeing that both of them seemed to be moved, she added:
"Are you trying to say that I trusted the wrong person?"
"Of course not."
Although he was an elite ninja, Scorpion was still a teenager and was the first one who couldn't resist this provocation.
It’s just a puppet, what can’t it do?
And find a carpenter...those people can only make furniture.
Orochimaru, who was older, more experienced and more sophisticated than him, originally wanted to reconsider it, but he saw that his rival from another village had already spoken.
If he hesitated at this moment, wouldn't it seem like he was backing down?
Of course that won't work.
So he also responded with a hoarse voice,
"How come? I've just started thinking about how to make it."
Not only did Orochimaru speak, he also acted like a "professional who has entered the state" and quickly distinguished himself from the "ignorant young man".
The ignorant young man Scorpio:?
The red-haired boy sneered:
"Why else would you say you're an amateur? Isn't this a simple job? Why would you need to rack your brains to think about it?"
Orochimaru, who never said that he was racking his brains:?
But after all, he is a man who has seen the world, and he will not be moved by such a small trick.
He just sneered:
"There is no such thing as a casual job for a client. Is this the attitude you guys in the Sand Village take when accepting commissions?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several ninjas from the Sand Village changed.
“…That’s enough!”
If this continues, it will become a problem of relations between ninja villages.
The Third Hokage quickly rebuked the two of them.
After he spoke, the two of them naturally shut up and fell silent.
"Then we will follow what Miss Yu Yue said, make a plan based on Miss Yu Yue's needs, and then select the best candidates... Do you two have any objections?"
"No."
"Can."
When the two nodded, the Third Hokage turned to look at Ugetsu.
"Then this plan..."
"Please hand it over to me before 10 am tomorrow. That way, if there are any problems, we can have an impromptu meeting in the afternoon. I hope you two can make time in advance... Is that ok?"
"At your service."
Orochimaru smiled.
Scorpion ignored his reaction and nodded to Miss Ugetsuki.
"I'll be there on time tomorrow morning."
The reservations for new products came to a temporary halt, and the people who had gathered together, with no more gossip to watch, began to disperse.
But at this moment, the leaders of other ninja villages came up.
"In fact, our ninja skills are also very good. If Miss Ugetsu needs us, you can definitely consider us."
"It's the same for us. Although we may not be so proficient in puppetry, when it comes to technology, we are definitely not worse than those people in the sandy places of the Sand Village."
——This is just a map cannon.
The gaze of the Sand Village ninja immediately became hostile. But the man showed no sign of fear or retreat, instead he continued to smile:
“We will never let you regret it.”
They all reacted too.
Since Miss Ugetsu has no attachment to Konoha, they can just as well recommend themselves.
We are all doing business, so why not find one that can cause trouble for Konoha and make money at the same time?
The worst that can happen is they’ll be rejected, but then they won’t lose anything.
On the contrary, if it succeeds, it will be a huge profit.
In the face of these overt and covert infighting, Yu Yue skillfully put on a business-like smile and said:
"Of course, of course, next time."
As for when the next time will be.
Isn't it her who has the final say?
After seeing off the people from various ninja villages, Yu Yue couldn't help but stretching when no one was paying attention to her.
"I am so exhausted."
She complained, rubbing her shoulders.
"Yes, you have worked hard."
Uchiha Shisui immediately responded with genuine emotion.
Hearing his words, Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but look sideways:
——Are you serious?
No, aren't you Uchiha so eloquent?
Kakashi, in particular, was simply incomprehensible.
No, what on earth is she tired of?
It was obvious that she was the one who rested the most, but today she sat there for most of the day and just moved her mouth.
Is this also called tiring?
What should I say, someone who has been running around all day, boiling and stirring the syrup until I almost have a broken arm?
But he soon discovered that, except himself, everyone else seemed to agree with Uchiha Shisui's statement.
This is really weird.
Therefore, when he saw Asuma Sarutobi who also had a puzzled expression, he miraculously felt a sense of comradeship.
In fact, although Kakashi and Asuma are about the same age, they have not had much contact in the past.
Basically, the level of recognition is "Oh, there is such a person, he is quite powerful."
However, at this moment, a miraculous feeling of companionship and mutual respect developed in the two of them.
Sure enough, it’s not us who are abnormal, but they who have problems.
Uchiha Itachi was even more considerate and brought back a can of unopened milk tea.
"Thanks."
I'm a little thirsty.
Yu Yue took the milk tea and took a big sip.
Then……
In order to avoid vomiting, her face almost turned green.
"What is this!"
Other people put sugar in milk tea, so this cup is just milk tea with some sugar added in, right?
Uchiha Itachi, who handed over the milk tea, turned pale.
"poisonous?"
If this is true, then he deserves to die.
"Almost... No, it's not poison."
Pay attention, as soon as you open your mouth, Uchiha Itachi's face turns purple, so Yu Yue quickly changes the words.
“It’s just too sweet.”
It’s really sweet.
As a person who only drinks 30% sugar, she judged that the sip she just drank must have 150% sugar. (At least)
It's horrible, the taste is this bad.
Those people just bought it and drank it?
Ugetsu felt that she had to re-evaluate the tastes of the people of Konoha.
This is too
It's horrible.
After hearing this, Uchiha Itachi finally let go of his worry. He tilted his head and said with some confusion.
"I just took a cup of milk tea from the Uchiha group purchase."
Yes, Yakushi Kabuto even invented "group buying" without any guidance.
Most ninjas work in families, so it's not uncommon to buy a family's worth of supplies at one time.
It's just that some individual families will make some small "customized" requests.
For example, Uchiha's 'polysaccharide'.
Qiu Dao's 'Multi-Pearl' and 'Large Cup' - Of course, since this is the first trial sale, the request for a large cup cannot be met yet.
However, if it becomes a regular product, this demand will be realized in the future.
And Yu Yue, before receiving the report from Pharmacist Kabuto, had already experienced the result of "customization".
This is so suffocating.
"Aren't you worried about gaining weight?"
Ugetsu looked at Itachi, then at Shisui.
I began to worry that after I unlocked the seal of the demon named 'Milk Tea', I would never see the boy's slim and delicate figure again.
If one day, all those ninjas who were as light as swallows jumping around on the street became a few sizes bigger, she would be committing a serious sin.
I don’t know if the universal medical ninjutsu can help you lose weight.
Let’s go back and ask the pharmacist.
Shisui was not worried about this. He smiled and said:
“We have sports.”
In fact, milk tea is a perfect drink for ninjas.
It tastes good and provides energy - in theory it can be used as a liquid ration.
It may work wonders for some situations that require a lot of capacity replenishment in a short period of time.
In addition, the taste is also good, and to a certain extent it can be changed according to your own preferences, which makes it even more attractive.
But for Yu Yue, all she saw and felt was the cup of milk tea in front of her that was so sweet that it almost made her head fly off.
But it's the boss who spends the money.
Customer satisfaction is enough.
Thinking of some of the weird aesthetics and requirements of the clients in the past, Yu Yue felt that there was nothing unacceptable about the super sweet milk tea.
It’s just sweet.
Is it hard to say that you like sweet things?
What about the Internet celebrity Xue Mei Niang dirty bag fruit tea and fancy things?
of sparkling drinks.
Which one can be less sweet?
If everyone really loves sweets, then all of these can be served and arranged.
Although she could neither make snow meringue nor dirty buns, it didn't matter. She believed in the almighty ninjas. As long as she could describe it well, they would be able to find a way to make it.
She has great confidence in all the model workers.
With the final work of the competition completed, it is time for the much-anticipated harvest summary session.
All of our ten days of hard work and efforts will be reflected in this.
The location of the 'celebration party' was not the Ugetsu store, but a barbecue restaurant in Konoha.
As night fell, there were fewer guests, so Yu Yue simply booked most of the venue for the celebratory banquet.
"Are we okay here?"
Shin and Asuma Sarutobi looked at each other and looked around in confusion.
All around them are people who have devoted countless efforts and time to the Sugar Syrup Competition and have devoted themselves to it wholeheartedly for the past ten days.
The two of them seemed out of place here.
The two of them felt particularly uncomfortable.
After all, they only helped out for one day during the day, and at most they . But although they were tired, they didn't make much contribution, and both of them were very clear about that.
"You guys have worked hard all day, too."
The children from the surrounding orphanages consoled him kindly.
"That's right, if we talk about contribution, I actually only made the bamboo tube for one day..."
"I've only been weaving the cup sleeves for two days."
After they finished speaking, they patted the two on the back generously:
"Since Miss Yu Yue allowed you to come, it proves that your contribution is worthy of recognition. Don't belittle yourselves."
Is, is that so?
So my work is so important that it will be recognized by others even for one day?
The two of them felt much more at ease, and the seats under them no longer felt like pins and needles, making them feel uneasy.
At the same time, a feeling of gratitude welled up from the bottom of my heart:
Ms. Yu Yue, you are such a nice person.
At this time, 'Good Lady Yu Yue' came to the center of the reserved half after explaining the menu to the boss.
She is young, but very imposing.
After this period of cooperation, we have accumulated enough prestige.
So she clapped her hands and everyone became quiet.
She raised her teacup and drank tea instead of wine:
"First of all, I want to toast to everyone. You all have made great contributions to the successful conclusion of the first Yuyue Cup Sugar Syrup Competition, which lasted for a whole day."
"Without you, there would not be this unforgettable grand game today. Please allow me to say: Thank you, everyone for your hard work."
She bowed first, then raised the cup in her hand:
"So to celebrate our first victory, cheers!"
"cheers!"
The young people, whose eyes turned red because of her action, raised their glasses one after another, and even Yakushi Nono's glasses seemed to be misty.
She was truly grateful to Miss Yu Yue from the bottom of her heart.
Not only because she brought income to the orphanage, but also because her work and inspiration will always be remembered by the children, giving them confidence and courage.
Although Yakushi Nono worked very hard in running the orphanage, he could only guarantee the minimum level of food, clothing, and shelter.
But even if I can eat and drink to survive.
Without parents and unable to generate income, people feel insecure, especially since many of them are war orphans.
Some are from Konoha, and some were picked up on the battlefield.
Therefore, even if these children do not show it on the surface, they actually feel more or less alienated and uneasy because of living under someone else's roof.
Compared with other children living under the care of their parents and relatives, they have experienced the cruelty of the world at an early age.
Therefore, they are more nervous and humble than others.
Because they know clearly.
They have no right to be willful or angry.
Others can do it because they all have parents to support them.
But they have nothing, and in order to ensure that they can keep the orphanage, their only remaining shelter, they have to bow their heads.
You must learn not to get angry and not express your own opinions, and you must learn to listen to adults.
Yakushi Nono herself went through the same thing, so she actually doesn't want these children to repeat her old path.
But there was nothing she could do.
The expenses of maintaining the orphanage alone exhausted her.
Recently, with the end of the war, the village has been faced with the need to cut down on unnecessary expenses, and even the most basic things have become difficult.
Yakushi Nono even considered
The choice to return to the roots in exchange for support for the orphanage.
Her gaze fell tenderly on Ugetsu, who was hosting the celebration party in the middle.
The gratitude and love in his eyes almost overflowed.
To her and the orphanage, the sickly-looking girl in front of them was like a ray of light in the darkness. Not only did she illuminate the darkness, she also gave them a bright direction.
Because of her, the orphanage, the children... and even herself, are where they are today.
"Then, please invite Dean Nonou to give a speech... Dean Nonou?"
Noticing that the most important person didn't move, Ugetsu turned around and called out again.
"Ah, do you want me to speak?"
Yakushi Nono stood up with a smile.
She walked to the middle, then imitated Yu Yue and bowed to everyone.
“Thank you very much today.”
She has a very gentle temperament, and when her voice is full of emotion, it is particularly touching.
Almost immediately, the children in the orphanage had tears in their eyes.
The others who were watching were also unconsciously affected and their emotions became unstable.
Unlike when Ms. Ugetsuki spoke, Yakushi Nono spoke from an emotional perspective.
It also stimulates the softest part of people's hearts.
She did not emphasize the hardships and sufferings of the orphanage, but people could sense it from her self-reliance and self-improvement speech.
She did not emphasize Miss Uetsuki's praise, but people could sense her kindness and preciousness from all this.
——Honestly speaking, Yu Yue wanted to call him a good guy after hearing this.
This is probably the person with the highest emotional intelligence and the one who understands the art of speaking the best that Yu Yue has met since she came here.
With such a talent, it would be a waste if I didn't do public relations to trick people into believing my story.
“This is talent.”
She murmured softly.
"What?"
Although her voice was very soft, Uchiha Shisui still heard her mumbling and came over to ask.
"Ms. Yakushi Nono, this is the art of speaking."
Ugetsu moved due to the slight itchy breath blowing past his ear, and then said to Uchiha Shisui seriously:
"Although you are very good, when it comes to speaking skills, you are not even as good as Miss Pharmacist." She paused and lowered her voice. "I must learn from you if I have the chance.
, if you learn this skill, the difficulty of life will be reduced by at least half. "
By then, it will only take a few minutes to fool an investor and impress a few partners and subordinates.
In the past, Yu Yue had really seen people who could dominate a company just by talking.
Compared to such talented players, she is really far behind.
You still have to study hard.
She sighed.
——If some people knew what she was thinking at this moment, they would probably shout "That's not necessary".
The current technology is enough to command people around, so what will happen if she is asked to continue her studies?
By the time Yakushi Nono had finished his speech, the atmosphere of the celebration party had already been heated up to a considerable level.
"Are we not late?"
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, I saw Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki walking in.
When it comes to today's competition, these two people have made great contributions.
One coordinated the ninjas on the Naruto side, and the other controlled the host of the normal competition.
It's only natural for him to appear at the celebration party.
"Just in time, the exciting rewarding session will begin soon!"
"Reward according to merit?"
Namikaze Minato raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, all of you are my heroes, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."
Yu Yue said with a smile, and then nodded to Pharmacist Kabuto who had been looking at her.
The boy nodded, took a deep breath and stood in front of the stage.
He suppressed his excitement and announced today's earnings.
When he said that number, everyone was shocked.
Especially the children in the orphanage.
Although they have been busy since a few days ago.
But I have no idea how much I have earned through my hard work.
Now that I heard that I actually earned so much money, I was really overjoyed.
Are you that awesome?
Oh my god, we can make so much money!
A buzz of discussion was heard.
When their voices became quieter, Yu Yue raised her hand to stop their conversation. Then she said:
"Like I said before, you all work for me, so I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
While Yu Yue was talking, Uchiha Shisui came up holding a tray covered with cloth.
There was something angular and bulging on the plate, and people couldn't help but be attracted by it and looked over.
After Uchiha Shisui stood still, Ugetsu smiled and uncovered the red cloth.
Under the red cloth were the banknotes that she had asked Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the Hokage, to exchange in advance.
The neatly stacked banknotes are quite shocking.
——Although the bills used were small in value, the shocking effect was still achieved.
Especially when Yu Yue announced that a quarter of them belonged to orphanages, the atmosphere became so heated that it seemed as if the roof was about to be blown off.
The kids knew they were making money, but no one imagined they would make so much money.
But that’s not all.
As she spoke, she took another wad of money from the tray and announced loudly:
"Now, please invite the most outstanding performer, Kabuto Yakushi, to come and claim his prize money."
Pharmacist Kabuto, who was clapping excitedly with his companions, clapped a few more times before realizing that Miss Yu Yue was calling him.
He pointed at himself in disbelief.
"I?"
"Yes, come up quickly."
Yu Yue smiled and waved to him.
Then, when he stood beside her, she handed him the stack of 'bonus' with both hands.
Because they were all small denomination bills, this amount of money was far less than what the ninjas would earn from taking on a big job.
But for orphans who lost their parents and wandered on the battlefield, it was a huge sum of money.
Moreover, it was a huge sum of money that belonged to him alone and was earned by his own efforts.
Tears streamed down the boy's cheeks.
"Huh?"
"ah!"
The boy frantically wiped away his tears with his sleeves.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to cry... No, I just..."
"Yes, yes."
Yu Yue patted his shoulder knowingly.
"You are crying for joy."
"Come on, tell us how you feel about winning the award."
After hearing this, Pharmacist Kabuto wiped away his tears and laughed.
"yes!"
He cleared his throat and regained his original voice: "Thank you very much Miss Ugetsu for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank Dean Yakushi Nono and everyone in the orphanage. If it weren't for you, I would definitely not be where I am now."
“Thank you very much, everyone.”
He also bowed deeply.
"At the same time, I have learned a lot through this work, and I will definitely put everything into my new work and life in the future."
“I also want to tell everyone that if you take every job seriously and rack your brains to think and work hard, you will definitely gain something, just like me today. I hope everyone in the future can also achieve their own success!”
——This is also a good seedling.
Yu Yue originally thought that this was a good candidate for business, but now it seems that his speaking skills and grasp of human nature are also very good.
Are there so many talented people in the ninja world?
She saw two of them in just one Konoha village.
Moreover, they are all high-level talents who can be used directly after a little polishing.
A jack of all trades, he can complete any job satisfactorily no matter what you ask him to do.
With a smart mind and good rhetoric, he can always say the right things and achieve the desired goal without any reminder from her.
That's wonderful.
Ugetsu couldn't help but sigh as she clapped along with everyone else.
——At the same time, Minato Namikaze was also filled with emotion.
“That’s amazing.”
He murmured in admiration.
"Yes, Miss Uzuki is really amazing." Hearing his words, Uzumaki Shinkuna echoed in agreement.
"No, not Miss Ugetsu. Miss Ugetsu is of course amazing, but this child is also a talent."
His beautiful blue eyes flickered with admiration.
Then, his gaze fell on the silver-haired boy who was clapping beside him.
The expression on Minato Namikaze's face turned into helplessness.
In contrast, my students...
Forget it, there’s still plenty of time.
If he stayed with Miss Ugetsu, he would surely be able to get out of this dead end one day and embrace a new self.
What's going on?
Kakashi Hatake shuddered violently. He touched the back of his cold head and was a little confused for a moment.
Why did he always have a bad feeling during such a celebration party?
On the other side, Yu Yue also read out the names of the winners of the next round of prize money. !
