In addition to the stimulation brought by the blind box itself, the surrounding atmosphere group also fueled Daisuke's excitement.
In the struggle between myself, "This is the last one, I'll stop after I draw it," and people around me, "Hey, you've already drawn 9, why not get one more to make it 10?" and "If you stop now, all your investment will go down the drain," the latter will often win.
After all, this involves the issue of "sunk cost".
Not many people can calmly accept the outcome that their costs have been wasted.
After all this, the result is predictable.
It wasn't until he was pinned down that Daisuke finally came to his senses and realized what he had done.
But at the same time, he himself fell into a sage time of 'who am I, where am I, and what did I do'.
Regarding his performance, Hatake Kakashi patted him on the shoulder to show his understanding: "It's okay, you'll get used to it."
Almost every stubborn person will do this. It can even be said that the more rational people think they are and will never indulge in any little thing, the more addicted they will be in the end.
On the contrary, those cautious people who say "I'll just give it a try" are less likely to be overwhelmed because they are wary of getting addicted from the beginning.
He was used to it.
I just don't know how Daisuke's savings are...
But it doesn't really matter. He is already working at Yuyue Store anyway. The worst that can happen is that he will just have to pay back his salary for the next few months.
Anyway, he has a place to live and can have a meal in the store at noon, so he won't die.
So instead of continuing to worry about Daisuke, he convinced himself and began to lead Daisuke to experience other products in the Ugetsu store.
For example, drinking milk tea and assembling dream bags.
Maybe you can develop some little fun in life.
Although Miss Yu Yue's work here is long and the content is complicated, the corresponding salary and benefits are not less. At most, I can work for another year or two, and I will always achieve positive asset growth.
After this period of time, Hatake Kakashi finally became a mature employee of the Ugetsu Shoten and was no longer so out of place.
——Come on! Daisuke, a bright future awaits you!
On the other hand, Ugetsu felt relieved to leave the new 'Daisuke' in the charge of other people in the store.
If it comes to staring at people, even if I have two more pairs of eyes, I can't beat these eyes.
Ninjas who are like microscopes.
What's more, she has more important things to do at this time——
That is, she was ready to set off for the Sand Village.
The new demands I made to Scorpio a few days ago received a response today.
In addition to giving a positive response to Yu Yue's new request, it also implicitly expressed the request that she come in person to confirm the specific image.
But the most important thing is that they offered a very tempting condition to Yu Yue.
——You can ask Chiyo, a high-ranking official of the Sand Village, a well-known puppeteer and a famous medical master, to help her treat her illness and see if there is any method that can cure her once and for all.
There is no rush for anything else.
This alone can be said to have hit Yu Yue's pain point.
Although thanks to the existence of Yakushi Nono, she has basically lived a relaxed, healthy and happy life.
But in fact her illness was not cured.
This hidden danger has always existed.
Now there was this opportunity to 'heal'... Honestly, it was really hard for Ugetsu to refuse.
Even if there is only a one percent chance, or it cannot be completely cured, it would be a good thing to change "must find a medical ninja" to "can be improved slowly by taking medicine".
After all, medical ninjas are internal resources of the ninja village.
Yu Yue can use it, but does not have the ownership or decision-making power.
If there is a war, medical ninjas will definitely be called up.
Even if Ugetsu has strong connections, it is unlikely that he will directly affect the mobilization of ninjas in a state of war.
Therefore, for the sake of life safety, we still need to find a way to recover or a treatment method other than medical ninja.
But you can't just believe everything others say. Yu Yue is an amateur at medical ninja and medical ninjutsu.
So she first went to consult her personal doctor, pharmacist Nono.
But when she finished reading the letter to the pharmacist Nono, he looked even more surprised than she was:
"Are you talking about the elder of the Sand Village, Chiyo-sama?"
"Is he... a famous person?"
Yu Yue was stunned for a moment - could this be a celebrity?
"Yes, Master Chiyo of Sunagakure Village can be said to be the master of the puppeteers of Sunagakure Village. He has a powerful secret technique called 'Chikamatsu Tenjinshu'. Legend has it that Master Chiyo conquered a city alone using this secret technique."
As he said this, Pharmacist Nono pushed his eyes
mirror.
"But in addition to being a puppeteer, Master Chiyo also has a deep understanding of medical ninjutsu, and also has a deep knowledge of poisons and drugs."
"He has defeated many ninjas known for their use of poison and saved the Sand Village from danger many times."
"That is to say?"
Yu Yue was really interested this time.
Isn't this a very powerful character?
"If it's this lord, maybe he can really find a way to cure Miss Ugetsuki."
Yakushi Nono gave the conclusion.
"Just because medical ninjutsu can't find a cure doesn't mean medicine won't work all the way - if it's Chiyo-sama, he should be able to give at least one answer."
——All the professionals gave such opinions, and Yu Yue immediately made the decision.
She is going to the Sand Village.
When it comes to seeking medical treatment and medication, of course, the sooner the better.
Of course, it is not easy for Yu Yue to leave the village, after all, her identity is different now.
Not to mention that she is now one of Konoha's important figures, just the fact that the Sand Village has been eyeing her covetously and their determination to get her is enough to make Konoha vigilant.
Who knows if she will be throwing meat buns at a dog this time?
Therefore, several Konoha high-level officials, led by Danzo, expressed negative opinions.
They even persuaded the Hokage:
"Ms. Ugetsuki is very important to Konoha, which is currently undergoing reconstruction. We cannot afford this loss. Even if the Sand Village is an ally, they are still another village."
“We are able to form an alliance now purely because our interests align.”
"If the interests of the two villages really conflict, they will definitely not care about the friendship of their allies."
"Besides, if they were really sincere, wouldn't it be the same if they asked Chiyo-sama to come to Konoha?"
Unfortunately, they could make Dai hesitate but couldn't convince Yu Yue.
After all, she was not a ninja of Konoha. She could discuss and consider, but she would not completely follow their decisions.
Yu Yue's approach was as simple and crude as ever.
She chose to hire a Konoha ninja to take her there.
Aren’t you worried that I won’t come back?
Then let your ninja take me there. Don't you think such a big ninja village like yours doesn't even have this much courage?
Still don't believe that your ninja can bring the people back?
No way. No way.
Bar.
When it comes to dealing with those honest and face-conscious people in Konoha, Yu Yue really has a way.
Aren't you Konoha ninjas capable of that?
——Of course it’s impossible to say no.
"Isn't that enough?"
Yu Yue spread his hands and replenished the chips.
"Besides, my going to the Sand Village is also a good thing for you - aren't you allies? A visit from an important person is a way of showing goodwill."
Doesn’t this represent the trust between each other?
——These words touched Dai’s heart and immediately calmed his originally wavering heart.
That’s right, there should be more trust between allies.
If there is no trust, there will be no subsequent alliance or cooperation.
They said that letting Chiyo-sama come over was a sign of sincerity—but on the other hand, wasn’t it also a sign of sincerity that they let Ugetsu-san over?
And it shows greater sincerity.
The current Hokage was never afraid to be the one to reach out first.
In addition to his powerful strength, it is also because he is just that kind of person.
He is the kind of person who is willing to take risks.
Seeing the performance of the Hokage, Danzo Shimura's face almost fell immediately.
He and Sarutobi Hiruzen have been teammates for many years. Once the other party shows such an expression, it proves that he has made up his mind and it will be difficult to change it.
But perhaps because he had failed too many times recently, Danzo did not get angry because it was a small matter that would not affect his reputation whether he succeeded or failed.
Just walked away as usual.
There's nothing he can do if he stays here, so why is he still here?
Are you making things difficult for yourself?
Now that the biggest obstacle is gone, everything will go extremely smoothly afterwards.
After all, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En are not absolute people. Their judgment is mainly based on whether it is beneficial to Konoha. They denied it before because they thought it would be better for Konoha. But now Ugetsu and the Hokage have put forward more optimized and more beneficial suggestions for Konoha's image and development.
It is natural that they were convinced.
There was no urging. If the escort from Konoha to the Sand Village was completed by Konoha, then it would be just an ordinary task for Konoha and there would be nothing to worry about.
As for the Sand Village also sending people to pick us up - there's no need to be afraid, okay?
The Sand Village is not as rich as Konoha.
How could the ninjas from the Sand Village be as generous as the ninjas from Konoha?
Even if we only look at the consumption volume, Konoha is definitely better than the Sand Village.
Miss Ugetsu cares so much about her business that it is impossible for her to give up a market as big as Konoha.
Thinking of this, Konoha's top leaders felt more at ease.
But no matter what, this represents the first important visit after the alliance between Konoha and the Sand Village. It is impossible to just find a few people to escort it.
Of course, being too formal is not appropriate either, as that would seem like putting pressure on the Sand Village.
So important people like Minato Namikaze or Fugaku Uchiha did not move.
Instead, it was Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze's men, and Genma Shiranui followed along.
What was more unexpected was that in addition to this person, another person also joined the team - that was Ugetsu's unshakable annual ninja, Uchiha Shisui, and... Yakushi Nono.
"Dai-sama, I think it would be safer if we had a medical ninja go with us."
In response to Ugetsu's surprised expression, Yakushi Nono replied with a smile.
"Although I 'm just a medical ninja, I won't be a hindrance - and with me here, Miss Ugetsu will be safer along the way, right?"
When you are out and about, you are bound to get a headache or fever. At this time, having a medical ninja by your side can solve most of the problems.
Very reasonable.
——Of course, this is just the superficial reason.
In fact, it was Danzo Shimura who arranged her actions.
In fact, Shimura Danzo originally wanted to insert Shin as well, so that the entire team would be composed of his own people except for that troublesome Uchiha brat.
But Xin is still too young. If he is given the task of leaving the village, others will become suspicious.
In addition, Namikaze Minato had also inserted his subordinates earlier, so Shimura Danzo's original plan had to be abandoned. He could only change direction and choose to put in a character who "would not arouse suspicion".
That was the pharmacist Nono. On the other hand, it was a good thing for Xin to stay - during this period of time, Yu Yue was away, and the entire Yu Yue store was transparent to him. He could take this opportunity to find evidence of Yu Yue's collusion with Dai.
It would be great if we could find the next plan.
That's right, Danzo Shimura still believes that there is collusion between Ugetsu, Dai and Namikaze Minato.
Otherwise, this series of events
Love, should it be explained by coincidence?
Ninjas don't believe in coincidences!
And the other side.
On the surface, Yakushi Nonou has nothing to do with Shimura Danzo.
But in fact, before she became the director of the orphanage, she had been acting as a spy for the Root.
Later, she was really tired of such a life, so she found a handle to negotiate terms with Danzo and was freed.
But one of the conditions for leaving is that she must obey when Danzo needs her in the future.
In fact, if it was just her, there was a way to escape.
But behind her is an entire orphanage.
To run an orphanage, love alone is not enough.
It also requires money and supplies.
This is a very realistic problem.
Without money, supplies and food, the children cannot survive.
Therefore, Yakushi Nono had to continue to follow Danzo's orders. While serving as the director of the orphanage, he also had to go out from time to time to gather information.
It was only with the help of Miss Ugetsu that she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and free herself from this depressing and hopeless job.
Therefore, Yakushi Nono has always been grateful to Ugetsu from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, when she received Danzo's order, she was even a little grateful for her identity as a "spy" for a moment. If not, Danzo would definitely send someone else to infiltrate. It's hard to say what will happen then.
If Danzo must find a spy to come in, it would certainly be more appropriate for him to do it himself.
Of course, we also have to thank Danzo for his self-righteousness and arrogance.
Danzo has an almost pathological confidence in the 'Root' that he created. Therefore, even though he has always been quite repulsive, he only thinks that he is slacking off.
This was the same even though she walked very close to Miss Yu Yue.
He didn't believe that any Root ninja could truly break away from him and escape from his grasp.
Yakushi Nono also once thought so pessimistically.
But now.
The round glasses on the young woman's face flashed white light.
...Whether this is really the case is hard to say.
In fact, if we ignore some of the little tricks, the combination of this escort team is still quite reasonable.
A quasi-shadow, two elites, and a medical ninja, and even
It can be said that the configuration is luxurious to a certain extent.
Konoha's top leaders were also quite satisfied with this combination.
after all……
How could the Sand Village possibly have imagined such a thoughtful combination!
Of course, Yu Yue would have no objection to Konoha's thoughtfulness.
The only trouble is that because she and Pharmacist Nono are both leaving, the work they are doing will have to be transferred.
But this is not a big problem, because the employees of Yuyue Store usually have multiple jobs and often rotate between positions to familiarize themselves with different work content, so no matter what the job is, they can get started quickly.
In addition, many positions were originally fixed - for example, the milk tea shop on Uchiha Street has always been managed by Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Naoki. The two are originally Uchiha, and they are like fish in water here.
Also, Asuma Sarutobi is in charge of the shops near the Hokage Building, so there is no need to worry.
I believe that during the time I am away, they will be able to complete the tasks with quality and quantity.
As for other places, they are all old employees - not to mention that there is now an extra handyman responsible for physical work.
So when we say 'transfer', it actually just means explaining a few more things.
So before leaving, I held another meeting with several senior employees.
Mainly arrange the work arrangements and emergency plans for the time when I am away.
As for more detailed issues...she believes that the talents she has discovered can solve them themselves.
Besides, she is definitely going to become bigger and stronger in the future. By then, she will be in charge of several projects and hundreds of employees. Does she have to make all the decisions?
That's really not enough for her even if she died of exhaustion.
Therefore, we must start from the beginning to train our subordinates' leadership and find employees with leadership potential for further development in a timely manner.
Everyone in the store nodded solemnly.
"We will fight to the death to defend Miss Yu Yue's shop!"
The boy with the pot-cut hair was always the first to speak at times like these, and excitement once again sparkled in his eyes.
That’s right! This is the new challenge!
"Kakashi! You know what I mean!"
Kakashi: ...
What should I understand?
I'm still a child and I don't want to understand anything.
——This is probably the first time since Kakashi Hatake was born that he didn't think about growing up and being independent, but instead wanted to be a child who didn't need to know anything.
“This is our chance to prove ourselves!”
And Might Guy’s chicken soup is not over yet.
"Ms. Yu Yue entrusted the store's work to us, which means she trusts us very much!"
"We must never betray this trust!"
Might Guy placed his hands heavily on Kakashi Hatake's shoulders, almost pressing his whole body on him.
"Come on! From today on, let's report with 200% effort!"
Listening to the young man's powerful voice, Yu Yue nodded with satisfaction.
That’s right, young people should be motivated like this.
Of course, there is no need to risk your life.
Of course people have to live well so they can work better and earn money.
The longer you live, the more value and benefits you can create.
So everyone must live a long life.
Seeing this, the others, whether sincere or not, followed suit and expressed their determination to work harder than when Miss Yu Yue was around, so that when Miss Yu Yue returned, she would be able to see a better Yu Yue store.
——Of course there are also some that are not so positive.
For example, Kakashi Hatake was dragged down by Might Guy and was about to enter the hell of effort.
There is also Jiraiya, an 'outside employee' who originally thought he was free, but ended up seeming to have more work .
"Oh, to help you write better."
Yu Yue suddenly tapped her palm as if she remembered something.
"What?"
Jiraiya suddenly felt a chill on his back and had a bad feeling.
"So I asked Daisama to find you a 'undisturbed' room so that you can concentrate on your creation." Ugetsu once again showed that kind and gentle smile, but to Jiraiya it looked like a devil's smile.
"Then I have also entrusted the garrison patrol work to the Konoha Guard Force. Anyway, I hope to hear good news that you have finished writing when I come back."
As Ugetsu spoke, the curly-haired Uchiha boy next to him smiled shyly.
Obviously, this "coordination" was his work.
What kind of devils are you!
Jiraiya, his breathing hitched.
Miss Ugetsu is fine, but that Uchiha kid.
With your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could you do such a wicked thing? ?
Good related things
All the affairs have been settled, and the next thing to do is to set off.
——It was not until she stood at the entrance of the village that Yu Yue remembered something with a stiff expression.
That is the cruel reality that people in this world still basically rely on their two legs to go out.
Of course, with the ninja, there are other ways. But this method...
Yu Yue's face suddenly turned green.
Some dead memories suddenly attacked her.
"Why don't you leave?"
Noticing Ugetsu's pause, Orochimaru raised his eyebrows in interest.
Could it be that she has come up with some new idea?
If so, he wouldn't mind hearing it now.
"No……"
Yu Yue didn't know what to say.
Even if she complained about the traffic problem, these people probably wouldn't understand.
It's just like no matter how detailed you describe it to someone who has never seen an airplane or train, he will still have no idea what it is.
"Miscalculated."
She murmured softly.
"I should have developed public transportation first..."
But it’s not too late now. When she comes back, she will prepare a contingency plan immediately. When she finds an opportunity, she must solve this urgent problem first.
Otherwise, if you go out, taking a horse or ox cart that is so bumpy that your butt is broken into pieces would be considered a luxury but it would be too painful.
She felt that she had reason to believe that the reason why the world's tourism industry was so bad was because the transportation was too inconvenient!
When I come back, I have to figure out how to get people to build bridges and roads together.
There is also the development of new means of transportation.
It doesn’t make sense that we already have TVs and refrigerators, but we can’t make a steam engine or a car!
Got a positive response from Miss Yu Yue.
The Sand Village also immediately began to prepare.
Even though the Sand Village will remain the same no matter how you clean it up, you still have to make the necessary preparations.
Their streets aren't as rich and beautiful as Konoha's, but the hospitality is definitely not inferior.
In addition, the Sand Village also specially prepared a welcoming team.
Of course, there is no doubt that the person leading the team must be Scorpio, an old acquaintance of both sides.
scorpion:……
I never thought that this job would fall on me.
Then there is the Dai Kazekage's right-hand man, Rasa.
Having him, whose status is second only to the Dai Kazekage, go to greet him is enough to prove how much the Sand Village values ​​him.
Of course, there was another important reason for sending him.
That is Rasa's bloodline limit: Magnetic Style: Gold Dust. He can collect gold dust in the desert as travel expenses.
Miss Ugetsu is not a ninja, so it doesn't matter how she lives in the open air.
Since they specially invited them here, of course they have to give them the best and most thoughtful enjoyment along the way.
Luo Sha actually didn't want to go at first.
After all, his wife was about to give birth, and they had other plans, so leaving at this time would be disadvantageous.
But he was indeed the only one who could collect 'travel expenses' while walking.
In addition, the top leaders all agreed to this decision, and as a member of the Sand Village, he honestly had no right to refuse.
Therefore, he could only rush home to explain and then prepare to leave.
His wife, who always smiles gently, wishes him to come back soon as always.
The one son and one daughter in the family are not so caring.
"Dad! Bring back the hero egg!"
"That's right! I want the newest one!"
"It must be limited!"
The two children looked at their father with sparkling eyes and tried hard to express their demands.
"…Dad is out working."
"I know! We all heard about it!"
The first to speak was the eldest daughter Temari.
"Dad is going to pick someone up - he must go to the town to pick someone up, right? Isn't that on the way?"
The next person to speak was his son Kankuro.
The two of them look different, but they look at their father with the same big, sparkling eyes.
"Dad, you can definitely do it, right?"
“…”
The child has said this, what else can the father do?
Especially when his wife is still looking at him.
Luo Sha could only let out a long sigh.
"I understand. I'll try my best to find it...but I can't guarantee it."
Because the 'Hero Egg' is produced in Konoha, it is considered an 'imported product' to the Kingdom of Wind.
Unlike the dream pack, the Sand Village and the Kingdom of Wind are both close by, and the 'Hero Egg' is not available for purchase at any time.
Especially the 'second edition' released later, and the so-called 'limited edition'.
With the Fire Nation
Just like the limitations of Minato Namikaze, the Kingdom of Wind also has its own limitations.
That is the legendary Second Kazekage - Shamon.
As the founder of puppetry and sand manipulation skills, his influence in the Land of Wind and the Sand Village is unmatched.
Especially for ninjas who aspire to become puppeteers or are currently training to become puppeteers, he is like an idol.
They all longed to get the limited hero egg of the Second Kazekage.
——The same is true for Kankuro, who has been interested in the puppeteer's skills since he was a child.
"Good! Dad said he brought it back!"
Children don't care about the 'but' from adults. They just think that their dad has promised them. Their dad is so capable, so of course he will do what he promised.
"Hello--"
Luo Sha tried to stop the two children who were running away cheering, but it was too late.
The two children had already run away without a trace thanks to their excellent physical fitness.
“There’s nothing wrong with that.”
The wife, Karula, who always smiles, gently comforts her husband.
Her belly is already very big and she is due to give birth soon.
But as a mother of two, she's not nervous about it.
Especially now that the war is over, the Sand Village has taken on a job that can make long-term money by making dream bags, so the days to come will only get better and better.
Like everyone else in the Sand Village, Karura also enjoys bringing color to the Sand Village.
Although it is just a pieced-together scene, seeing the Sand Village, which was originally just wind and sand, now has so many colors, my mood will unconsciously become better.
——The atmosphere in the Sand Village has become more relaxed, probably because of this.
Even though they cannot be eaten or drunk and are just some specially made 'parts', it is enough to make people smile like this.
Karula is a kind and optimistic person. Seeing the atmosphere in the village improve and the relationship between her husband and children becoming more harmonious, she will only be happier.
Therefore, even if her husband is a little disappointed when he leaves at this time, it will not really affect her mood. She can even comfort him instead.
"As long as you bring it back, the children will like it."
“…I hope so.”
Luo Sha's serious face relaxed a little.
He looked at Jialuo for a long while before speaking in a very low voice:
"What about you? Is there anything you want?"
In the past war-torn times, the missions were all about fighting and killing, and after leaving, you didn’t know whether you could come back safely.
People don't have enough time to prepare for the tasks, so of course they don't have the time to think about these things.
After all, just thinking about how to survive is already difficult enough.
Even two months ago, Luo Sha had never thought that such a day would come.
His children would hug him and ask for gifts.
While on a mission, he would also think about how to buy some things for his children and his wife along the way.
It's not about ninjas, and it's not about survival.
Just some 'non-essential' gadgets.
Karula was also stunned for a moment.
She hesitated at first, then blushed.
Finally, for the first time in her life, she made a small request to her husband that belonged only to the two of them:
"In that case, bring me a flower when you come back."
"……I see."
Luo Sha touched the back of his head.
Obviously he is not used to this kind of atmosphere.
But to be honest.
This feeling is actually not bad.
After packing his luggage, Luo Sha met Sasori at the gate of the Sand Village.
However, when he arrived, he saw an unexpected figure:
"Yashamaru?"
Isn’t that skinny, girl-like guy his wife’s younger brother?
"Why are you here too?"
"Brother Luo Sha."
The boy greeted with a smile.
"I will go with you two on this mission as well."
"Although my actual combat abilities are not strong, as a medical ninja, I will do my best to support you... and I will also try not to make Miss Ugetsu feel uncomfortable."
That’s right, the Sand Village also sent out medical ninjas.
Ugetsu's physical condition was no secret.
You can find out as long as you ask.
Not to mention the Sand Village who put so much effort into it.
They wanted to take a ruler and write down the length, width and height of Yu Yue and analyze it.
Of course, he would not miss the fact that Ugetsu was 'sickly', and the opportunity to increase his favorability by taking care of the 'sickly' guest.
Scorpion will be responsible for reception, Rasa will be responsible for travel expenses, and finally there will be a medical ninja to ensure the physical condition.
It's perfect.
Such thoughtfulness, could those arrogant guys in Konoha Village expect it! ? !
