Chapter 275: Don’t let your guard down!
Although I felt a chill down my spine, the task at hand was more important.
Especially now that it is nearing the end, everyone must stand guard in this last shift.
If he fails at the critical moment, Yu Yue will have nightmares when she sleeps.
Although no activity is perfect - as long as there are people involved in the action, there will be various problems of varying sizes.
The only difference is that skilled workers, because they are more experienced and careful, can notice problems before they occur and prepare in advance.
In other words, when encountering a problem, you can solve it promptly and effectively with your rich experience.
Newbies or people who are not good at it are caught off guard when problems arise and are at a loss as to how to deal with them.
Or the accident or loss may be magnified due to handling errors , eventually leading to serious consequences.
Although Ugetsu accepts imperfections and problems, the premise is that they are not problems that can be solved.
There's nothing we can do about the uncontrollable accidents.
But if it is due to laxity or dereliction of duty by employees - then it is unacceptable.
But even though Ugetsu said it was okay, several ninjas around her still exchanged glances with her when she wasn't noticing.
"I'd better take Miss Ugetsuki to see the medical ninja later."
"That's right. Many illnesses are caused by not paying attention at the beginning and then letting it go on until later - not to mention that colds can kill people anyway."
"That's right, ninjas have all suffered, not to mention Miss Ugetsu! She can even fight a wolf!"
"Why would Miss Uzuki fight a wolf? If that happens, the ninjas who are protecting her will just crash into the wolf and die! But it's not wrong to worry. Miss Uzuki is too weak, so we still have to be careful."
"Yes, I heard that Miss Ugetsu used to go to the hospital once a month."
'Eh? Isn't it a week?'
"I heard that Miss Ugetsu has a special doctor by her side... Anyway, Shisui, you can't relax."
'I will.'
In the time it took Ugetsu to say two sentences, the ninjas quickly communicated with their eyes and expressions.
"So... are you listening?"
Although Ugetsu didn't understand the 'code' between ninjas, she could tell the status of those who were listening attentively and those who were distracted.
She certainly had no idea that these people were communicating about their own health issues.
Just frowned.
What's going on?
I just said I would stand guard for the last time, and now you're distracted?
"certainly!"
The ninja on the other side responded immediately.
"You mean... a problem, right? Don't worry, we are all paying attention to it."
Being able to multitask is the basis for a qualified ninja. Even though they had communicated more than ten or twenty sentences about Miss Ugetsu's health, they did not miss a single word of what they needed to hear.
“…”
never mind.
Maybe this is what a ninja is.
Yu Yue is not the kind of person who, when she is talking, others must stand up straight without even looking at her.
As long as they listened to and completed the tasks she assigned to them, and ensured that there were no unexpected problems with her commission, she didn't mind if they were distracted or did something else.
After finally assigning the tasks, Yu Yue clapped her hands.
"Okay, then everyone take your positions."
"Although it may be a cliché, I hope everyone understands that this is the first time we have cooperated with the Otsutsuki clan on the moon. At the same time, I hope this will not be the last."
"You probably don't want the relationship to break down because of some problems that could have been avoided, or even..."
Although Yu Yue didn't say anything to warn or blame.
But people understood what she meant immediately.
Those who were originally a little distracted or felt that they were already very serious and did not need to put in 200% of their energy also became serious.
Before Ugetsu, what did the ninjas fear the most?
That would definitely be a mission failure.
Regardless of whether you can survive or not, the stain of "failure" will follow you everywhere.
——Not to mention, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame, let alone jumping into the river.
Even if he dies, this infamy will be pinned on him.
Who can stand this?
Now you don't need to risk your life.
But the issue of honor is much bigger than before.
In the past, even if there were major mistakes, they were only known within the village, and the only people who knew about them were the villagers and nearby residents.
But things are different now.
They are not just representing their own village, they are representing all the ninjas on earth who have come here.
Their every move, every success and failure, will be known to the ninjas in various ninja villages and audiences from all over the world.
hiss--
The ninjas gasped inwardly.
Then, it was as if someone poured a basin of cold water over my head... no, ice water, and I shivered violently.
Not only does my heart feel cold, even my bone marrow feels frozen.
Nothing can go wrong.
There must be no problems!
A ninja swallowed.
Being nailed to the village's pillar of shame is unbearable, let alone expanding it to the whole world.
Not to mention themselves, even the village they came from couldn't afford to lose face in front of this person.
I believe that if the Shadows really found out that I got into trouble due to my negligence, then they would definitely let me know what it means to be 'living a fate worse than death' and 'being unable to live and unable to die'.
"Let's go check it again!"
The ninjas became more and more frightened the more they thought about it and took emergency action.
Even if you have checked it a hundred times, you have to confirm it the hundred and first time!
After watching the ninjas disperse, Ugetsu, who was finally no longer surrounded, nodded in satisfaction.
Yes, that's right.
Go ahead, and we look forward to your outstanding performance.
——Although Yu Yue didn’t think that anyone would really be lazy or cause trouble.
But as human beings, there are times when we become overconfident and careless, or when we fail to deliver.
So no matter what, we still have to keep people on their toes.
"The award ceremony, and the final curtain call..."
"These have been prepared by a dedicated person. We have prepared backups for everything that will be used to ensure that nothing goes wrong. When the event is over, these unused backups will also be destroyed, so Ms. Ugetsuki doesn't have to worry about any leaks."
Uchiha Shisui's brain quickly retrieved relevant information.
"only……"
"Just what?"
“Is it really a good idea to let a child like that take on such an important job?”
The person Uchiha Shisui was referring to was of course Deidara, who was transferred to the moon by Ugetsu because of his odd behavior.
It’s not that he didn’t believe in the other party’s ability, but the reason why the other party was discovered by Miss Yu Yue... is very strange.
Plus, with such a tight timeline, the other party can really complete it in time.
What?
"Sure enough, we should let him rehearse in the illusion world for a while longer."
The "illusion world" that Uchiha Shisui mentioned is naturally not an ordinary illusion with the same flow speed as the outside world. It is an illusion of the Sharingan that can adjust the flow speed of time inside and outside.
Although there is not much time left, Uchiha Shisui believes that the illusion of the Sharingan can complete this task.
"Trust the kid."
Ugetsu smiled and squeezed Uchiha Shisui's fingers.
"If you don't worry about anything and keep an eye on everything, you will only tire yourself out."
"I don't want my dearest right-hand man to fall because of this."
Since Yu Yue said so, what else could the boy say?
What's more, his attention at this moment has been attracted by the warmth and slight force coming from his hand, and his ears are red.
Although Ugetsu felt that he was using quite a bit of force, in Uchiha Shisui's opinion, that force was more like a caress.
This is...
"……I see."
He could only nod randomly, and after hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth:
"I……"
"ah."
However, before the young man could finish his words, Ugetsu's attention was drawn to the sudden arrival of the Otsutsuki clan leader.
"What brings you here?"
The head of the Otsutsuki clan: "..."
How should I put it? I just felt a little uneasy at first - it was the first time for people on the ground, and it was the same for them, the residents of the moon.
After circling around for a few times, the Otsutsuki clan leader still felt uneasy and decided to look for Miss Ugetsuki.
In his opinion, no one in the world could make people feel as at ease as Miss Ugetsuki.
But now…
He looked at the boy, then at Ugetsu, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Some instincts that came from being a ninja (or a ninjutsu practitioner) told him.
Maybe he came at the wrong time...?
On the stage.
As the boy's persuasion succeeded more and more, more "Tailed Beast Beauties" with different appearances joined his team.
——Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing.
But even if he was rejected or even denied, even if he was angrily scolded by the tailed beasts that took their anger out on humans, or even had to go through a battle, the boy never gave up.
His voice remained firm.
His tone is always so contagious.
In fact, people didn’t pay attention to it the first time, but the second and third time, when the boy repeatedly put his words into practice with his actions, no one would ignore his words anymore.
Every word he said made people believe it.
Even if it seems hopeless.
But the boy still relied on his own strength and the strength of his companions to turn the impossible into possible.
Crush conspiracies and overcome suffering.
Crush all evil.
The evil forces that killed his parents and scattered countless people were crushed.
The innocently sealed tailed beasts were also liberated one by one and gained the freedom they most desired.
The whole world seemed to become brighter and more beautiful because of the boy.
In addition, there are spiritual beasts around him, some of which are smart, some are cute, and some are tall and mighty.
It was clearly just a "script" on the stage, but people really felt like they were getting a glimpse into the boy's world.
People followed the boy, feeling pain when he felt pain and feeling joy when he felt joy.
Therefore, when seeing the boy surrounded by so many people, not only the audience but even the staff showed happy smiles.
They blessed the boy.
Hopefully he will be able to defeat his enemies and not be bound by his miserable birth.
No more having to worry about the lonely back when leaving the place where I grew up alone.
Everybody stood beside him.
The whole world is blessing his journey.
“What a great story.”
I don't know who made such an exclamation.
There was both relief and sadness in that voice.
But more of that, I'm happy.
Be happy for everything that is in front of you.
Whether it is today's event or this story on stage.
They are all so beautiful.
It’s so beautiful that one hopes it will continue forever.
It will never end.
But then again…
"Why are these guys on stage? Is it because they are good-looking? How can humans be so superficial!"
Looking at the spiritual beasts on the field showing off their bodies flexibly, some people... some beasts couldn't help themselves. !
