Chapter 268 Before the Game
What comes into people's sight is a huge stone human head.
People have only seen statues of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama in the Valley of the End.
But people knew about the existence of the statue and were mentally prepared.
This is different.
This statue not only suddenly appears before people's eyes, but the key point is that it is moving.
That’s right, the statue not only rises slowly before people’s eyes.
He even moves.
"Wait, what is that?"
After a brief moment of shock, people noticed the red cloth hanging on both sides of the statue's face.
"There seems to be words on it?"
"Let me see." Someone with sharp eyes looked over.
"'Welcome to the Otsutsuki Moon Village' and 'At your service with all my heart'...?"
——To be honest, this is not a particularly novel welcome.
But when the word hangs like earrings on either side of a giant head, the effect is completely different.
Then again...
"Who is this stone statue?"
Not to mention familiarity, it's a face I have never seen before.
"This is Otsutsuki Hamura, the ancestor of our Otsutsuki clan."
The head of the Otsutsuki clan who came to greet them walked up and looked at the statue with a serious face.
"Lord Hamura has protected our clan for a thousand years. He is our ancestor and our patron saint." He said, looking at the tourists coming forward: "We put his stone statue here with good wishes. We hope that he can protect you guests just as he protected us."
"Welcome to the Otsutsuki Moon Village - I believe this place will leave you with an unforgettable impression."
The Otsutsuki clan leader finished his welcome speech.
This 'special' welcome ceremony was indeed impressive.
After all, they even invited their ancestors to come out to welcome the guests!
Regardless of other experiences on the moon, the action of the Otsutsuki clan leader really stunned the guests from the ground.
At least if it were any other place, whether it was a ninja village or anywhere else... they would definitely not do such a thing.
But they can't do it, and a big part of the reason is that they "can't do it".
After all, they don't have a stone statue of their ancestors that won't be destroyed.
At first people thought that the moon was broken into several pieces and there must be nothing left.
But during the renovation, they unexpectedly found this surviving 'asset'... Well, it may also be the only lunar artifact with a true thousand-year history.
Relying on its self-repairing ability, the statue of Otsutsuki Hamura slowly recovered.
It was just because Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama and others used too rough methods when repairing the moon (just putting the broken parts back together), that they were buried underground.
It was not until the expansion of the surrounding buildings of the Otsutsuki Moon Village that it was accidentally dug out.
In fact, the Otsutsuki clan leader almost forgot about this matter.
But since it has been dug out, it is impossible to leave the statue of the ancestor buried in the ground.
So he had an idea, and decided to put the statue of his ancestor at the entrance of the teleportation array in the last few days.
On the one hand, this is the only "artifact" of the true Otsutsuki clan. On the other hand, placing such a huge statue at the entrance can also give people a feeling of being valued.
The banner that hangs on the ear like an earring is a bit...
"I wonder if Otsutsuki Hamura would be happy to have such a flexible descendant, or would he think his descendants are unfilial if he knew this."
Ugetsu shook her head.
Although the Otsutsuki clan leader reported to her that he was planning to place the statue at the entrance.
But she thought it was a conventional model with a fountain and a statue at the gate to show its grandeur.
I never expected that he would push his face directly in front of the passage like this.
...This is considered an extremely explosive act of genius in the entire design world.
"this……"
The captain of the engineering team following her didn't know how to answer.
Anyway, if his own descendants did this, they would crawl back and beat them up in their dreams.
But at the same time he also imagined it.
If your offspring don't risk their lives in this way, they will be doomed.
Why would they do this? It seems...it's not hard to understand, right?
After all, if you really want to say it, it is more important to continue than to save face.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's make arrangements for the next step."
Yu Yue rubbed her face.
“The arrival of guests is only the first step. The next step is how to wow them.
The key is to leave a lasting impression.”
The girl became serious.
"Whether it's the dubbing contest or the moon tour, there is absolutely no room for error!"
"yes!"
Watching the captain of the engineering team leaving, Yu Yue also turned around and looked at the water stop behind him.
"Let's go too."
The boy nodded as usual and stood beside her.
"Okay, so where would you like to go first, Ms. Ugetsu?"
He has memorized the map of Otsutsuki Moon Village firmly in his mind. No matter where Miss Ugetsu wants to go first, he can guarantee to take her there in the shortest time.
Yu Yue thought for a moment: "Then..."
The contestants who arrived on the moon were as shocked as the tourists.
As participants of the competition, they arrive earlier than tourists and even have their own exclusive area.
In this area, all functions are available.
Whether they want to have fun or take this opportunity to rest and adjust themselves alone, their requests can be met.
However, even if you arrive earlier than the tourists, you will still be shocked by everything.
This is the moon, after all.
Far away from the land where he lives, the moon in the night sky that was once thought to be unreachable.
They were even contestants in the first joint Earth-Moon event in a thousand years.
Just thinking about this makes people's chest unconsciously swell with a sense of honor.
The red-haired boy standing by the window raised his hand and gently pressed it against his chest.
" Nervous?"
The sudden sound made him jump away subconsciously.
Then, he saw a black-haired man standing where he was just now, waving at him:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"Ah... um." The red-haired boy shook his head and said awkwardly, "It's okay, I'm just overly sensitive."
“I see.”
The man suddenly walked to the viewing chair next to him and sat down, then patted the seat next to him in a very familiar manner. "If you don't mind, do you want to chat for a while?"
Although I didn't think I had anything to talk about with this stranger, maybe it was because the other party was too friendly, or maybe he really wanted to divert attention in this way.
After relaxing a little, the red-haired boy sat down.
The red-haired boy sat over, and what greeted him next was the 'questioning attack' from the black-haired man.
'What's your name, how old are you, where are you from' - these are the three most common questions asked by uncles and aunts.
Although these were all meaningless questions, perhaps because the other party was too friendly, the boy still answered them one by one .
And he really relaxed slowly from the response to this question and answer.
To be honest, before he mustered up the courage to sign up, he never thought that he would have such an opportunity.
In addition, being in the completely unfamiliar environment of the moon, he had been on edge since the moment he arrived here.
Until now.
"How do you feel now?"
“I’m nervous… but I’m also looking forward to it.”
The red-haired boy——Gaara responded to the man's questions one by one.
"I'm looking forward to it... So you like this very much?"
The man looked at him and asked again.
Do you like...?
Gaara was stunned when he heard this question.
It seemed that he had not thought about these things since he had been immersed in the game.
Clearly, at the beginning, he came with other ideas.
For Gaara, the dubbing auditions were more than just an amazing competition.
At the same time, it is also his way of proving himself.
Gaara was born as the youngest child in the family.
Although this earned him a lot of love, because he was the youngest in the family, he was also the least capable and had the least sense of existence.
Of course, this "lack of presence" does not mean that his family members ignore him.
He felt this way simply because he was too young to participate in activities with other family members.
'You're too young'
'This has nothing to do with children'
'You'll understand when you grow up'
'Don't worry about the kids'
Since Guo was old enough to understand things, similar words have been heard all the time.
Although Gaara was touched by the love of his family, at the same time, he felt discouraged and powerless because he could not do anything and was powerless.
He also wants to keep up with his older brothers and sisters, and even his parents.
Want to really help them, not
I can only lend a hand in unimportant areas.
That's why, when the 'Dubbing Contest' announced the worldwide auditions, I asked Uncle Yashamaru to take me to sign up.
His ideas are also very simple.
——If I can participate in such activities, it should be able to prove to my family that I can actually stand on my own, right?
However, as the game progressed, the idea of "taking a gamble" faded from his mind.
All he thinks about every day is how to hone his voice and ability to express himself.
Listening to the wonderful performances of the opponents, thinking about how I should respond next... Although everything makes people more nervous unconsciously. And the rematch that almost broke my endurance... But if I really think about it, I still feel that I am enjoying it.
Compared to ideas like 'betting one's temper' or 'proving oneself'.
The idea that 'he wants to do this' will take precedence.
Whether it was reciting lines or pondering the emotions... all the content was something he wanted to do on his own initiative and cared about.
so……
"Yeah, I like it."
After a brief thought, Gaara understood.
So he added:
“…I like it very much.”
I really like it.
"So, do you want to do this job?"
The black-haired man asked curiously.
"If... Miss Ugetsu thinks I can do it."
Although I had this idea, Gaara didn't dare to guarantee it.
After all, no one knows whether this "dubbing" can eventually become a job.
If it can become a job, then do I need myself?
But then again.
"Brother...Uncle, do you want to do this job too?"
Otherwise, why would you ask so many questions?
"Well..." The man who was asked was stunned for a moment, then he smiled cheerfully . "If possible, of course I would also like to try it very much."
“And I think I might have a bright future…”
Before the man could finish his words, a stern rebuke rang out: "Brother!!! Why are you running around again!"
