It’s been a while since Yu Yue came into this world, but this is the first time she feels so confused.
Really confused.
She looked at Uchiha Shisui in shock, and asked a question from the bottom of her heart:
"You ninjas, are you so casual?"
"Ah, no, I'm not saying you can do whatever you want. I'm talking about these...hidden forces."
"Are you... so unrefined?"
Yu Yue was at a loss for words for a moment.
Wow, you are a force that can build a fortress (although I don’t know what it looks like), and you are a fierce man who could fight five people alone during the Second Ninja World War.
Why is this so... such a joke this time?
Shouldn't ninjas be doing things that are invisible, mysterious, tolerant, and grand?
You were a force that once wanted to dominate the world.
How come it's like Musashi and Kojiro in Pokémon? Do they have to turn into a shooting star and leave behind a message saying "I'll be back"?
Really...
Not only did he expose himself just for stealing 500 signed books, but his lair was also raided.
Reality is even more outrageous than fiction.
Even Uchiha Shisui didn't know how to comment this time.
He was not born during the Second Shinobi World War, but he knew what a huge and brutal battle it was.
In such a one-on-many battle, a force was finally repelled rather than destroyed, and left the stage in this way many years later... Uchiha Shisui shook his head.
He also thought it was outrageous.
"But it's a good thing after all."
Thinking of this, he smiled again.
"At least one potential enemy has been eliminated."
But the smile on the boy's face quickly disappeared.
Because he thought of another problem.
"It's just a pity for the lost signed books and the damaged books..."
Although the purpose was to eliminate the enemy and save innocent victims, it is also a fact that the book was destroyed.
That is the key thing that Miss Yu Yue has high hopes for and is preparing to launch in later activities.
Uchiha Shisui would not blame those heroes for not trying hard. After all, they had done their best under the circumstances.
But as someone who had witnessed firsthand the importance Ugetsu attached to Young Heroes and knew how much she cared about those autographed books, he still felt very distressed.
“
Ah, the book is fine, as long as the person is fine."
Yu Yue waved her hand.
It was good to know the whereabouts of the books. What she was worried about at the time was that she would not be able to explain to other booksellers, and what if someone really copied a large number of those signed books and distributed them randomly before she launched her event.
Now that the remaining books have been retrieved, there is no need to worry about it.
The book can be reprinted, and the author Jiraiya is still alive and well, so just sign it again.
She tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly said something that Uchiha Shisui couldn't understand:
"Rather, this is a good thing."
After all, it is a book that goes through such meaningful events!
Not only was it the first edition signature, but it was also such a precious and bizarre experience.
The book contains the legendary stories of heroes both inside and outside the book, and it is also a unique battle-damaged version!
Such a precious book with a rich history and story, are you afraid that its value will not double?
joke!
So loss is not only not a bad thing, but also a good thing.
Now we should consider what to do with such an expensive book.
"By the way, contact Orochimaru."
"Well, what's going on?"
Hearing Yu Yue start giving orders, Uchiha Shisui quickly entered the state of an all-round assistant and began to think about the next task in his mind.
"I'm going to temporarily customize a limited batch of hero eggs. These are hero eggs based on the ninjas of the search team that participated in this battle. Well, let's tentatively name the series 'Running Heroes'."
If they hadn't run back and forth to sign books, there wouldn't have been this happy ending, right?
"A hero must act like a hero."
Good reputation and money were earned.
It's a huge profit for both her and the ninjas.
"Not only that, we will also use half of the sales of this series of hero eggs to provide welfare for the corresponding ninja villages... that is, to give them to orphanages or to the disabled and orphaned children in the ninja villages."
"I know that the ninja village will have arrangements even without me, but now all ninja villages are in a stage of reconstruction, so the more money the better."
"Maybe I can get some vocational training...get a prosthetic limb or open a store or something?"
In fact, for those who are unable to continue working as ninjas, their lives are not so poor.
Just a lifetime
For those who want to be a ninja and think that their life will end with a ninja career.
Suddenly not being able to be a ninja was like having their life taken away from them.
All the plans and expectations are gone.
Just like Uchiha Ken.
It's not that he can't do anything, but there is no other direction for him to work hard.
I can only stay at home with the knowledge that 'I have become a useless person' and 'I can only hold others back', avoiding the strange looks from others.
As soon as they go out, they are met with sympathetic looks from others, which is more painful for them than death.
So Yu Yue was thinking about taking advantage of this opportunity to do something.
Apart from anything else, they are ninjas!
There is definitely no problem with short-distance express delivery.
Otherwise, you can be a sorter, packer, or assembly line worker...one can do the work of five.
Yu Yue thought seriously about the next plan.
Uchiha Shisui, however, rarely showed a dazed expression.
Although it was only a brief moment, it was already a very inappropriate behavior for an Uchiha.
"Excuse me for interrupting you, but are you talking about giving the sales to the five major ninja villages?"
"That's right."
"For children who are disabled or orphaned?"
"Yes."
Ugetsu responded with a different word.
"These people should have basic security in life, so I want to provide some vocational training so that they can have a second spring in life..."
"What's the problem?"
——There are too many questions.
Countless words flashed through Uchiha Shisui's mind in an instant.
Does she really know what she is doing?
Does she know about the conflicts between the ninja villages? Does she know about the knots in the hearts of the ninjas?
She knew she was doing this...
No.
Uchiha Shisui shook his head.
"No problem."
Rather, this is what Miss Ugetsu is like.
"I just feel that this is something that only Miss Ugetsuki would do."
...That's true.
Yu Yue was speechless.
"Is there anyone else who can do what I do?"
"No, I haven't."
Uchiha Shisui answered seriously.
"Only you."
This land... no, this whole world.
Miss Yu Yue is always unique.
So different.
And... so dazzling.
It's so eye-catching.
For the people in the joint search team, the emotions are actually very complicated.
Although it was a good result, strictly speaking, there were only more than a hundred books left out of the five hundred, so their mission was definitely a failure.
Even if I get scolded when I get back, it's only natural.
So they were still very nervous.
However, what they never expected was that not only were they not scolded, but they were cheered and welcomed by people as soon as they returned.
People were stunned when they saw firecrackers, streamers and other items floating in front of their eyes.
This... How come I'm still welcomed even though I haven't completed the task?
However, the welcome from so many people was not fake, and they even saw the envoy of the daimyo walking out of the crowd.
"Hey, congratulations to all the heroes for coming back."
Several envoys representing the daimyo squeezed through the crowd like a sea.
The arrogant head of the past is no longer held so high.
The tone didn't sound like anyone owed them millions.
As for the others?
That attitude is even more enthusiastic.
"I don't deserve it."
Namikaze Minato shook his head.
"We are very sorry that we were not able to bring back all the books intact."
No one wants to be the harbinger of death.
But someone has to tell others about this bad thing.
So, as the temporary captain, Minato Namikaze took the initiative to assume this responsibility.
But the daimyo's messenger shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, you have tried very hard."
"No one would have thought that such a dangerous force could be lurking in such a place. It is better to say that your ability to face danger without fear and defeat such an evil force that threatens the five major countries has far exceeded our expectations."
“You are all heroes!”
After hearing these words, the ninjas didn't know how to react.
Where have they ever received such treatment in front of noble families?
For a moment I was at a loss as to what to do.
But others ignored their reactions and continued to celebrate.
Who doesn’t like heroic stories?
Especially in the
Around oneself.
They didn't know what the Sky Ninja was, and they had never heard of it.
But it's enough for them to know that those guys were bad guys who wanted to attack them and killed hundreds of poor people.
In addition, the incident was caused by a novel about a young hero.
This element was fully utilized on the spot.
A thrilling , exciting, bizarre story with a happy ending.
Even if it is made into a movie, it has to be a hit.
Think about it.
Signed copies of famous bestsellers mysteriously disappear.
People who knew the situation also encountered accidents one after another.
A ninja from a certain village was ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly and retrieve the autographed book safely.
There were many doubts along the way, and the ninjas had a hard time moving forward. At the same time, they had to face constant pressure from their superiors and threats from competitors from other villages.
But the ninja did not give up. Instead, he faced the challenge head-on, overcame countless difficulties and obstacles, and finally caught a piece of information that was not intelligence, and followed the clues to find the culprit.
It turned out to be a group of evil people who were secretly planning to destroy the world.
Faced with such a powerful enemy, the ninjas who had been confronting each other not long ago chose to give up their personal grudges in the face of peace, were not afraid of sacrifice, and joined forces to destroy this evil force.
With the destruction of the evil forces, they finally returned to the Ninja Village with the signed book and completed their mission.
The last scene can be left at the moment when countless people come out to greet the wounded ninjas.
Then Ninja's girlfriend rushed out and hugged her with tears in her eyes.
In this world where entertainment is already lacking, shouldn’t we maintain a stable attendance rate of 90%+?
What a pity...
No, it’s not a pity.
You can write it down and come back to it when the technology and timing are ripe.
Just take this matter and adapt it.
Yu Yue quickly thought of a new work route in her mind.
Such a grand welcome scene was, of course, organized by Yu Yue.
Although this matter was outrageous from beginning to end, it has come to this point.
Of course, that means singing the full set of the opera.
You can't always start well but end badly.
Even if it was for Yu Yue's next commemorative limited edition hero egg, she couldn't let this matter be resolved by the village leaders saying "you did a good job".
So many readers are paying close attention.
They should be given an outlet to vent their emotions, right?
The nobles have been working so hard for so long, they should be able to show their wisdom and bravery, right?
If they hadn't been 'wise' in sending the ninjas to look for the missing 500 autographed books, how could they have uncovered such an evil force that was trying to subvert the world?
This achievement deserves to be written about in great detail, right?
So Yu Yue quickly contacted the relevant personnel to clarify the interests involved... and finally organized a welcome party that was similar to a "celebration".
The readers were very satisfied as this was a big event in which they participated throughout.
The daimyo nobles were also very happy.
Because this demonstrates their wise and brave image and decisiveness.
Only the various ninja villages, especially the top leaders and Kage, felt very complicated.
I never expected that a mission that was even forced to be carried out in the beginning would end up with such a brilliant and glorious ending.
They have been fighting each other as ninjas for so many years, but have never received this kind of "honor" and treatment.
The most that can happen is that the whole village celebrates.
As for the daimyo and nobles...
We should be thankful that they can allocate the funds on time, on time and in the right amount.
How could the ninjas dare to ask for anything else?
But now the order to celebrate has come to them, and they cannot disobey it.
Then celebrate.
We just follow whatever the adults say.
Multiple parties connected at one time.
This is how the grand celebration came about.
Nobles, tourists, ninjas, everyone was having a great time.
Of course, there were also various promotional posters for "Young Heroes" at the event.
Yu Yue also took the initiative to give a copy of "Young Heroes" to each person who participated.
“I hope the story of heroes will never end.”
As she said this, she took back the 128 signed copies of Young Heroes that the ninjas had rescued.
Apart from the thirty or so battle-damaged copies, the rest also showed more or less signs of use.
But it doesn’t matter, this feeling of vicissitudes is what we want.
“These must be kept well.”
She instructed Uchiha Shisui beside her.
"These are our future cash cows."
Opportunities are hard to come by, and such a dramatic and legendary development is something that only happens once in a lifetime.
"I see."
Uchiha Shisui smiled and nodded.
"I will definitely not let down everyone's hard work in getting this back."
Wasn’t it hard work to get it back?
In order to get them back, a force that was plotting to dominate the world was destroyed.
Hearing him say this, Yu Yue's expression became complicated for a moment.
She really didn't expect it...
"What's wrong?"
The curly-haired boy noticed her expression change and moved a little closer.
"Nothing, I just feel that this matter is really... beyond imagination."
It seems that she still has a lot to learn about the ninja world.
Uchiha Shisui nodded.
“It’s beyond imagination.”
It's just that his 'beyond' is a little different from what Yu Yue imagined.
“I really didn’t expect that a good book could have such an influence.”
Yu Yue: So, if you want influence, you must first establish an IP.
With the IP in hand, when the entertainment industry takes off in the future, won't people be crying and lining up to give them money?
However, Ugetsu would never say such realistic words in front of a good boy like Uchiha Shisui.
The bad adults who destroy children's dreams will be punished by God.
The celebration, with the nobles paying for it, the ninjas working hard, and the enthusiastic masses participating, was more lively than people expected.
Everyone was reserved at first, but gradually, influenced by the atmosphere, they relaxed.
There is food, drink and entertainment.
It's hard for the ninjas who maintain order. Ninjas and nobles from different villages gathered here. If they were all wiped out at once, it might take them ten or eight years to recover from the loss.
The abilities and credibility of the ninjas will surely fall to the lowest point.
But despite the hard work, they are still very happy.
After all, it is the people from our own village who have gained the honor, which is a good thing.
Who doesn’t like their family to be honored and recognized?
Ninjas from various villages sat together, and after letting go, they even started to drink with their arms around each other. After all, they were close friends who had risked their lives for each other, and it would be too hypocritical to distance themselves from them now.
You speak as if we are afraid of you.
Of course, there are people who cannot adapt to such an environment, but that is just their personal character, not their opinion of others.
.
With someone like Jiraiya who can be very outgoing no matter what the situation is and is very good at using treasures to liven up the atmosphere, it won't be long before those who are reluctant to let go also start to blend into the atmosphere.
Some people even started drinking.
When it comes to 'who can drink the most', people who love drinking always seem to have a desire to win that is difficult for outsiders to understand.
Boom boom boom!
At the request of some people, several wine glasses as long as someone's forearm were placed heavily on the table.
"I'm not saying that, but in our place, this is the extent of gargling your mouth."
A brown-skinned ninja raised his glass.
The Hidden Cloud Village is a well-known fighting sect.
The village respects martial arts and strength is paramount.
Their actions are also very bold - but sometimes they tend to go too far.
After he said this, others were not willing to be outdone.
"Who isn't?"
The ninja from the Iwagakure Village followed suit and picked up the cup.
"How can you not have a few drinks after work?"
The time for cooperation is over, and now is not the time to be humble.
Forget about anything else, as long as they drink and eat meat, they will never lose!
After the two of them finished speaking in unison, the pressure suddenly came to the other three ninja villages.
What a fuss... Can they still say at this time that they don’t know how to drink or can’t drink?
Of course not!
So regardless of whether they could really drink it or not, people raised their oversized wine glasses.
"Dry!"
"Hey, that's it."
"We usually drink water the same way we drink wine."
Only the ninjas from the Sand Village had a look of helplessness in their eyes.
There is no other reason. In the past, the Sand Village was poor in resources, so they certainly couldn't enjoy the "all-you-can-drink" treatment.
Occasionally drinking is just a few drinks.
It's nothing like it is now.
Is this for drinking?
These people are preparing to take a bath in wine!
But at the critical moment, it is impossible to be timid.
No, the more times like this, the more we need to show the indomitable will of the Sand Village ninjas!
“Done!”
He also raised his glass, held his breath and drank a lot.
——Then the other ninja villagers were dumbfounded.
We were just bragging, why did you take it seriously?
Of course you can drink them.
It’s not that the amount is not okay, but it’s not the right way to drink it, right?
Shouldn't you eat and drink at this time or find a way to get others to drink?
If you are bored, we will be in a difficult situation.
Are you people from the Sand Village so fierce?
However, the Sand Village ninja not only held his breath but also called out to everyone:
"It's delicious! Why don't you drink it... Don't you like it?"
How is this possible?
Then there was a constant sound of thudding sounds on the table.
It really hurts to drink it.
"good!"
"happy!"
"As expected of you, Master Ninja!"
Seeing how happy and heroic they were, some people immediately applauded.
And he was very kind to refill their cups.
"We can't let the ninjas go home disappointed. Fill it up! Fill it up again!"
"I'll treat you all to another drink, ninja-sama!"
"Me! I want to buy the ninja masters a drink too!"
Several Ninjas: ...
It's really true that you can't say anything careless.
But the bullshit has already been blown here.
If they say that they were just talking nonsense before, wouldn't that mean they would lose all their dignity and face?
drink!
At worst, I can go back and ask the medical ninja for help!
The few people who had made up their minds raised their cups again with a fearless attitude.
But at this time, they no longer have that empty competitive spirit.
Instead, a feeling of sympathy arose again.
We are all brothers, there is no need to say anything extra.
If you can't get up later, I will carry you to see the medical ninja!
“It’s really lively.”
As the team leader, Huangtu and the other four team leaders are naturally in the most core and highest place.
Looking around, the scene is bustling and harmonious.
It’s hard to believe that the people here are from different regions and different ninja villages.
"yes."
Namikaze Minato responded with a smile.
They were drinking at this table too.
It's just an ordinary cup, and the purpose is to enjoy it with restraint.
"Everyone has worked hard during this period, and it's time to relax and enjoy yourself."
“…Too lax.”
“If you are always nervous, you will only be tired. When you are happy, you should look happy!”
Seeing that Luo Sha still had a tense look on his face, Kirabi started to give a very rhythmic persuasion.
"Yes, but if you keep a straight face on a happy day, you will be ostracized."
?
That's true.
The others all looked over.
Realizing that he had become the focus of attention, the man from the Kizuna clan blinked.
"Why, am I wrong?"
It's not wrong, but at least it can't be stated so clearly.
Luo Sha could only cough twice.
"I'm not frowning, it's just..."
Ninja, can it really be like this?
"…and I feel unworthy of it."
Lord Ugetsu trusted them so much that he gave them the task of retrieving the items.
But they only brought back about a hundred copies.
That is one quarter.
This result is not worth celebrating so much.
He feels guilty.
When the others heard this, they also sighed.
That’s right, what’s the point of being heroes? To be honest, they are just a group of failed ninjas who couldn’t even complete their mission.
It is not reasonable or moral to say that he deserves this treatment.
"Let Miss Yu Yue decide this."
In the end, it was Minato Namikaze who came out to smooth things over.
"After all, she is the one who suffered the loss."
"Let's all be happy now. It's a rare opportunity that everyone has prepared such an event for us. If we keep a gloomy face, no one will be happy."
What he said made sense, so the expressions of several people eased up.
That’s right, at worst, they can go and apologize together after it’s over.
It really doesn't work.
They helped Yu Yue find the author and asked him to sign a few hundred copies.
For ninjas, as long as the goal is set, there are definitely more ways than difficulties.
Jiraiya, who was still wandering around having fun, suddenly shuddered.
What's going on?
He rubbed the back of his head and looked around.
There's clearly nothing.
But he inexplicably had the feeling that Orochimaru had been targeting him in the past and was trying to frame him.
——This shouldn't happen. Why would Orochimaru do this?
A lively place.
He must be still tinkering with his things in some dark room right now.
Thinking of this, he felt at ease and ran after the beautiful sisters.
It has been so long since he had a happy time!
We must have a great time this time!
This celebration was a complete success.
Readers gained joy.
The daimyo gained honor.
The Ninja Village not only preserved its reputation, but also gained a lot of extra fame.
Everyone is happy, congratulations.
Except for some people.
For example, those Root Ninjas and Anbu who had finally managed to clean up the tail and get back.
To be honest, they didn't expect things to become so big in the end.
They didn't expect that those 'Sky Ninjas' could actually train such monsters - they thought that the fortress was all they had at the beginning.
Who would have thought that there would be endless surprises later.
But I never expected that it would have such a 'hero's triumphant' ending.
As the instigators of everything, they really have very complicated feelings.
They knew it was all a misunderstanding, but they could never say it out loud in their lifetime.
Not only can I not say it, but I also have to be thankful that the matter ended with such an ending that 'has nothing to do with them'.
In this way, as long as they don't say it, the truth of the matter will be buried forever.
Apart from that, the one with a gloomy face as if water was about to drip was Shimura Danzo.
The more lively the crowd, the uglier his expression became.
"Don't make that expression."
The Third Hokage walked over to his old teammate.
"I know you think ninjas shouldn't be so lax, but it's rare to have such a good day, so we should always make people happy."
He looked around.
"Besides, haven't we arranged for the ninjas to maintain law and order? Just relax and enjoy yourself now."
"snort."
It would have been fine if the Third Hokage didn't mention it, but when he did, Shimura Danzo became even angrier.
Why should he arrange security for these people just because they are celebrating happily?
Especially when he thought that these people's heroic reputation was caused by his own orders, it was like a knife stabbing his heart.
He personally helped the rival of the candidate for the Fourth Hokage, whom he supported, ascend to the position of hero.
...Where can he go to seek justice?
Danzo Shimura tried hard to suppress the anger in his chest.
If it weren't for that incompetent guy Orochimaru, how could I have ended up like this?
He glanced at the Third Hokage beside him.
Should I say he is worthy of being Sarutobi Hiruzen's student? He is just as troublesome as this guy.
Even at this time, Danzo Shimura did not think that he had done anything wrong.
He would just think as always that it was the other people's incompetence that forced him to take action, leading to this result.
The Third Hokage could see that he had something on his mind, but he could never imagine that the cause of this series of events was all because his 'old teammate' had someone steal the 500 signed books and had a conflict with someone else.
I just thought that his mindset hadn't yet recovered from the war, which was why he looked like this.
"Okay, I'll go take a look. Don't be so stern all the time. Cheer up a little. This is a celebration party for the hero of our village."
Even though it was a joint celebration party for all the major ninja villages, important members included Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, so the Third Hokage rounded it up and treated it as a celebration party for his own village.
After the war, they were busy with burials and mourning, and did not celebrate their victory properly.
Take this opportunity to make up for the regret.
Shimura Danzo clenched his fist.
He felt even angrier.
If he gets angry to death one day, the murderer must be the old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Many times, he really didn't know whether this guy did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Another person who also had a gloomy face and seemed eager to kill was Uchiha Obito.
He personally brought glory to the people he hated. Is there anything more ironic and disgusting than this?
Even if his teachers and companions were there...that is all in the past.
Now look at them getting a little benefit.
He felt like his heart was burning.
Why?
This is a terrible world.
And these... people who can't protect even one person.
Why are they called heroes?
The boy hid on the roof in the corner and did not move for a long time.
Only the blood dripping from his palms revealed his tormented mood.
No.
He took a deep breath.
This matter is not over yet.
He stared with cold eyes at the bustling world in front of him that had nothing to do with him.
"Celebrate, be happy..."
That's all the time you have left.
One day, he will bring destruction to this world.
This little bit of happiness now is his last mercy.
After eating and drinking, it was time for other activities. Yu Yue did not waste time and took the opportunity to announce a series of collaborations between Yu Yue Store and Young Heroes.
"Also, to commemorate this victory, Yuyue Store will launch a series of 'Running Heroes' hero eggs based on the heroes. Please pay attention to the announcement of Yuyue Store for the specific release time."
Wow--
Is this possible?
However, people were more excited than surprised.
After all, who doesn’t like heroes?
Especially things that are linked to the story of the hero that appears before you.
This is double the joy.
People began to look forward to it.
Seeing this, Yu Yue nodded with satisfaction in her heart.
The momentum is good, and it's just right for her to keep up the good work.
"In addition, we will invest half of the proceeds from the 'Running Heroes' series of hero eggs into the welfare of the five major ninja villages."
If it was just surprise and joy before, now it is "shock".
What? What did she say?
Following her words, there was an uproar at the scene.
People couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Not just common people and nobles.
Even the ninjas stopped moving in shock, looking at Ugetsu with dull expressions as he was speaking.
Before coming, they didn't expect to hear such words.
No, it is better to say that the existence of this "triumphal meeting" has already exceeded people's imagination.
Only Uchiha Shisui stood in the dark, looking up with his bright eyes at Yu Yue, who seemed like the center of the world at this moment.
Even though he had heard her say this before, Uchiha Shisui still felt his heart beating fast when he heard it again.
He didn't take other people's panic and doubts to heart.
Just looking at her straight.
However, no matter what people think or see, Yu Yue's words continue.
"The work of ninjas has always been accompanied by great risks and losses. In addition to the triumphant return, we should also look at
To the other side - ninjas are heroes, but they are also human beings, they can cry and get hurt. "
"So after this incident, Ugetsu Store made this decision. The proceeds will be used to carry out welfare activities for ninjas who are unfortunately disabled and children who have lost their parents, to help them have a better life in the future."
“Until the series stops selling, half of the proceeds from the Hero Eggs in the ‘Running Heroes’ series will be invested in this project. We always welcome everyone’s suggestions and supervision of the implementation of the funds.”
Yu Yue said she would give it away, so she would definitely give it away without any discount.
So she is not afraid of supervision at all, and she even welcomes people to supervise for her whether the money is used properly in the appropriate place by the ninja village.
Even though Yu Yue would check herself, the five major ninja villages were so far away that she couldn't keep an eye on them all the time.
Yu Yue said, and finally smiled, saying affirmatively:
"Hero, you deserve better."
People looked at the girl who was standing on the stage and speaking.
Even many, many years later, what happened today will still be firmly remembered in their hearts.
Yu Yue's words were not empty talk.
After returning, she immediately began to arrange the sales of the 'Running Hero' series of hero eggs.
This time the sale went smoother than any other time.
Not to mention how enthusiastic people were, the five major ninja villages also gave the green light unconditionally.
Just talking about the merchants who came to the door, the production lines were scheduled all the way to several months later. If Orochimaru hadn't been quick to add production lines, this number might have been changed to "after a year".
But even if more production lines are added, the production pressure is still quite terrifying.
Let alone Orochimaru.
Even Orochimaru's student, Anko Mitarashi, hasn't been home for a while.
Now when she is asked to rest, her eyes are always staring blankly.
My mind is full of production arrangements and ratios.
The raw materials and production methods of the hero eggs are different from those of the 'dream bag'.
Therefore, it cannot be made on a complete assembly line like the Dream Bag - after all, that thing is inflexible and can be formed using only raw materials and molds.
In a sense, the 'Hero Egg' can be considered a living thing.
Although we don't need to watch our eating, drinking, defecating and urinating like pets, as long as it is a living thing, various accidents of varying sizes may occur during its growth process.
Even though Orochimaru said it was just a matter of changing the mold.
But in fact, there are still many small details that need to be adjusted.
It’s just that since the previous hero eggs have already been completely finalized, there’s no need to worry too much about it.
This time, everything from the mold to the color had to be done again, and the number of orders received was so terrifying.
Even Orochimaru felt that he had spoken too confidently.
He really didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying number of orders all of a sudden.
As someone who has been involved in the ninja industry for decades, if you ask him to think about ninja matters, he will definitely be able to figure it out almost exactly.
But when it comes to business.
Things like celebrity effect, chain reaction, impulsive consumption, etc... that's too far away from him.
The result is the current situation where we are unable to complete orders even though we are too busy.
As a last resort, Orochimaru had to bite the bullet and ask the pharmacist Nono to borrow some children from the orphanage to help him, and he was able to barely cope with the situation.
He now had some understanding of the feelings of the Sand Village ninjas.
I do feel a sense of accomplishment, but I'm just too busy.
All I see are orders.
Under pressure, Orochimaru even turned his attention to Jiraiya.
"Since you are free now, why not come and help me."
What he said was also reasonable.
"After all, this incident was caused by you."
Jiraiya:……???
Listen, what kind of words are these?
"How is this my responsibility!? "
Five hundred signed books were stolen, and he was clearly the victim!
How come it was Orochimaru's fault just because he had a few words with him?
No, he doesn’t want to take the blame!
"Isn't this because your autographed book was stolen?"
"That's the damn thief's business, what does it have to do with me?"
He can't just run a grocery store and sell a knife, and then if the knife kills someone, then he's the murderer, right?
Isn't this outrageous?
"Didn't you have a lot of fun at the triumphal party afterwards?"
Orochimaru glanced at him.
"Why, you agree when you're playing, but you're going to turn hostile when you're working?"
“That’s…that’s…”
Jiraiya stammered and was unable to speak.
Because he actually participated and had a lot of fun.
After experiencing the previous depression and comfort, he was completely let go that day.
Orochimaru snorted coldly upon seeing this.
"Choose now, do you come now, or do you want me to find the teacher and let the old man force you to come."
——What kind of choice is this?
There is no choice at all.
“There are still choices.”
As a teammate for many years, Orochimaru could certainly understand the other party's simple and straightforward expression.
Thinking that he had caught such a great coolie, he explained a little more in a good mood.
"The difference is whether you come here on your own or are dragged here by the teacher's ape demon."
——Then there is still no choice! ?
The latter sounds too miserable!
Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru in shock.
"You've changed, Orochimaru."
How could the Orochimaru he knew have the intention of using his teacher just to catch him doing the work?
"No, I haven't changed."
Orochimaru folded his arms and looked at Jiraiya.
"I just chose the most efficient method among many options."
When facing a man like Jiraiya, it would be better to let the most helpless person take action instead of using threats or inducements.
The first choice was of course Tsunade, but unfortunately Tsunade had lost her trace and no one knew where she had gone. He could only settle for the second best and choose someone that Jiraiya couldn't refuse.
Orochimaru believed that even if it was just for the benefit of the village, the teacher would be very happy to help.
Jiraiya: “…”
Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen was happy to help.
But at this moment, he had something more important to accomplish.
Then this is what he, or the entire Konoha high-level officials, have been arguing about until now.
That is the establishment of the Fourth Hokage. !
