Although what is currently more urgent is the reception of the Third Tsuchikage, the establishment of the Fourth Hokage is still a very important matter for Konoha Village.
After all, it is a major event that will determine the decision-makers of the ninja village for the next ten or even dozens of years.
The cards that should be there are definitely there.
But that would be after I met the Tsuchikage.
So after they returned, they didn't even take a rest and went straight to find the Third Tsuchikage.
Third Tsuchikage: ...Actually, I want to take a rest.
He must be very tired after coming all the way here at his age.
The purpose of meeting Miss Yu Yue is to express my appreciation for her. What are you doing here?
How can you people of Konoha be so lacking in tact?
But the people were already here, and they couldn't drive them away (especially since the other party was the host), so they could only start another round of friendly talks between the two shadows.
——But although it’s called a ‘friendly meeting’, there’s actually nothing special about it.
After all, the purpose of the Third Tsuchikage's visit this time was to find Ugetsu.
The Third Hokage had just returned, and he had nothing to discuss with the other Hokages.
The two looked at each other and found that the only topic they could talk about now was the "signed book theft incident" that happened not long ago and the "Triumph Meeting" that followed.
"I didn't expect that the Sky Ninja would still be here today."
The Tsuchikage was also filled with emotion when he talked about it.
As a veteran among ninjas, he had actually fought against the Sky Ninja.
But then again: "Weren't you Konoha the ones who fought them off in the end? How come you just let them go and let it develop to this day?"
The Third Hokage: "..."
That's true.
"Although we were the last ones to fight them, we couldn't do anything else. We still had to face attacks from others."
During a great ninja war, although the Sky Ninja caused a lot of trouble because of its ability to fly, in terms of combat power, it was at most a bonus.
They were too busy fighting with the other ninja villages to have the time to investigate the affairs of their defeated general.
"Didn't you investigate later?"
Unlike other ninja villages, the Iwagakure Village, especially the lineage of the Third Tsuchikage, possesses the ability to stay in the air.
As long as they need to, they can fight against the Sky Ninja Imperial City in the air.
The Third Hokage: "We are busy too. I don't know where the
, who has the time to chase a guy who can run faster than he can fight? "
That’s right, the people from the Iwagakure Village just fought off the enemies.
I didn't take them seriously at all.
"But this time I finally feel at ease."
My hometown has been raided, so of course there is no way I can make a comeback.
“But it’s just one.”
The Third Tsuchikage shook his head.
"Who knows what other people or forces are waiting for us where we can't see them?"
He expressed pessimism.
The ninja villages have been fighting for so long that they have been badly damaged and their control over each other is not as strong as before.
Just like this time's Sky Ninja.
Who among them knew that they were building a fortress on their own territory so openly?
"That's a matter for young people." Having said that, the Third Hokage smiled even more happily.
Because he is about to retire and enjoy the happiness of playing with his grandchildren.
Even if there is any action, it will be left to the fourth generation.
He is at ease, he is not in a hurry.
The Third Tsuchikage who still couldn't let go of his burden: ...
This is really annoying to say.
What’s wrong with these guys in Konoha? Why are they all so bad at talking?
This was the case with Uchiha Madara back then, and it is also the case with Sarutobi Hiruzen now.
Is it possible that this can be inherited?
While chatting, the Third Hokage also invited the Third Tsuchikage to attend the Fourth Hokage's succession ceremony.
"Now that we are here, how can we go back without participating?"
The Third Hokage looked at the only old man of the same generation as him among the current Hokage of the village with a smile.
"……snort."
The Third Tsuchikage snorted coldly.
Don't think he doesn't know what the old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen is trying to do.
Aren’t you just trying to say that the new generation of Konoha is also very strong?
Our Iwagakure Village is not bad either!
Of course, that’s what he said, but the Third Tsuchikage actually knew it too.
Compared to Minato Namikaze, the younger generations in other villages are a little inferior.
It’s not that there are no strong people in each village.
All I can say is that those who are stronger than him (approximately) are twice as old as him.
What about those who are about the same age or younger than him? It is difficult to compete head-on at this stage.
This is very frustrating.
The third generation of Hokage
I don’t have that idea… Well, maybe a little, but not serious, really just a little bit.
More importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to let the Tsuchikage see Konoha.
He thought Konoha was in great shape now, so he wanted others to see it too.
If this can make people feel that peace is better, then that would be great.
Although he personally experienced two Ninja World Wars, Sarutobi Hiruzen still hoped to follow the ideas of the first generation and his teacher and let peace continue.
——Besides, the fourth generation taking the throne is such a big deal.
It would be inappropriate for them not to invite the Tsuchikage.
You can't just say, 'We are going to hold a fourth-generation succession ceremony, you guys go first' and send them away, right?
So the group from Iwagakure Village extended their journey by a few days and waited for the fourth generation to take over before leaving.
The selection of the Fourth Hokage can be said to be the popular choice.
Only the couple involved were very surprised.
The feeling was probably like a pie suddenly falling from the sky and hitting you on the head, knocking you unconscious.
Of course I am happy - how many ninjas in Konoha have not dreamed of becoming Hokage?
But rather than being happy, he was more surprised and incredulous.
The couple didn't know whether to be happy or surprised and didn't sleep well that night.
So much so that on the first day, both of them were still dizzy and didn't feel it was real.
Even when Namikaze Minato went to negotiate with Ugetsu about the Tsuchikage's commission, the blond young man became unusually dazed when he heard people congratulating him along the way.
I am happy, but...
"...Can I really?"
He murmured.
To be honest, he feels unworthy of all the honors he has received now.
The war depends on everyone in the ninja village, and this time the whereabouts of the stolen books were found, thanks to the ninjas who are proficient in searching.
Most of what he did was to complete the coordination work, so that things could proceed relatively smoothly.
"Of course, it's better to say that no one else can do this job except you."
Yu Yue said affirmatively.
"It has nothing to do with qualifications or anything like that. It's just because you are the one who best meets people's expectations that you get this result."
Yu Yue tried to cheer him up.
She could see that this was the confusion many young employees felt when faced with a sudden promotion or a sudden project assignment.
Surprise and fear.
It’s not so much a lack of confidence in oneself as it is a strong sense of responsibility. One is worried that one’s own abilities may not be enough to complete the work, which may lead to problems in the project.
It’s simple at this time, just give him more confidence.
“This is the result that everyone expected.”
“You just have to do it.”
"The world of ninjas is busy and cruel. How can you hesitate? Since you have been given this responsibility, you must hurry up and adapt to your new identity. Only if you don't hesitate and are determined, can you lead everyone in the ninja village to a better future, right?"
If you don't do it, all her preparations in the early stage will be wasted.
So Yu Yue spoke even more excitedly.
After a round of encouragement and praise, Minato Namikaze felt dizzy when he went out.
——It seems like you said a lot, but when you think about it carefully, it seems vague?
The only thing he was sure of was that now that things had come to this, he must not let everyone down.
The fourth generation's succession ceremony did not take a long time to prepare for.
Instead, it continued the ninjas' usual habit of being quick and concise.
Announce, prepare and then hold.
Ugetsu, along with many Konoha ninjas and civilians, as well as foreign envoys (such as the Third Tsuchikage), witnessed him taking on the Hokage robe and putting on the bamboo hat with the word "Fire" written on it, symbolizing his status as Hokage.
At this point, the handover between the third and fourth generations was officially completed - what followed was the fourth generation's speech and the like.
Yu Yue looked at the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze on the stage. She felt that she had finally put her mind at ease, but she couldn't help but murmur.
"Why is it so ugly..."
"What?"
Uchiha Shisui heard her voice amidst the noise and leaned over to ask in a low voice. Although the two of them were standing very close to the front, they were in a corner.
Therefore, even if the two of them got together and whispered, it did not attract people's attention.
For Ugetsu's safety, Uchiha Shisui did not stand with the Uchiha clan members, but continued to protect her closely as always.
"I mean this Hokage robe and hat... looks like a bucket with a lid."
The white robe, which had nothing to do with it, was cylindrical in shape when it was put on. Add to that the bamboo hat...
Such a good-looking young man is wasted.
Don't say West
If you want to wear leather shoes or something, at least you should wear some clothes that are distinctive and beautiful.
With this hat on, her appearance, which scored 100 points, dropped straight to 70 points or less.
Uchiha Shisui, who had never thought about it this way, tried hard to hold back his laughter.
——It’s over. After Miss Yu Yue said this, he seemed to think that it was a bit similar.
"Well, this Hokage hat was passed down from the first generation."
This is a symbol of inheritance.
Yu Yue couldn't help but mutter: "Then your first generation Hokage's aesthetic taste is really..."
There must be something wrong.
However, halfway through her words, she seemed to remember something and turned her neck to look around.
She had never noticed it before because she was so busy trying to survive and expand her business.
In fact, this "rustic country style" is not only reflected in the outfit of the Hokage, it is the universal style here!!!
On the left side, you can see earth-colored and green vests.
On the right is a green vest paired with a fishing net.
…In short, it’s a big collection of green, earthy tones and black.
In comparison, Uchiha Shisui's dark turtleneck pullover can be considered "fashionable".
No wonder I always feel that the Uchiha people are much more handsome than others.
It really talks about the importance of dressing.
She couldn't help rubbing her eyes.
"Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
I saw her looking around and rubbing her eyes.
Shisui moved closer with concern.
"Excuse me."
After saying this, he gently stroked Yu Yue's cheek with his hand and looked into her eyes.
The Uchiha were far more concerned about their eyes than anyone else. Seeing Yu Yue rubbing his eyes until they turned red, he was of course even more concerned.
"No, it's just spicy... No, I mean it seems like my eyelashes pricked my eyes."
Yu Yue actually wanted to say that her eyes were burned by this strange yet surprisingly uniform combination of clothes.
But when you think about it, people just ended the war and it's normal that they don't care about dressing up.
Realizing that he shouldn't have thought that way, Ugetsu quickly changed his words.
"It's okay, it will be fine in a moment."
Yu Yue blinked a few more times to prove that she was fine.
The young man shook his head in disapproval.
"I'll get you some eye drops later."
He looked at Yu Yue's eyes.
Eyes, seriously.
"Eyes are very important."
"I really didn't...Okay, thank you then."
There's no need to be too serious with people who care about you.
Yu Yue chose to compromise.
However, she still added one more item to her plan in her mind - no, she had to put the work of improving her aesthetics and increasing the selection of clothing on the table.
The war is over, now it's time to live a good life.
People should certainly have a colorful life and enjoy it.
Unfortunately, I still don’t have enough manpower.
There is no talent in this area.
Ugetsu sighed.
Why aren't there any ninjas who can sew quickly and become fashion designers?
well.
Yu Yue sighed in her heart.
After all, there is still too little diversity among ninjas.
It would be great if every ninja could have as strong professional abilities as Sasori, Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
What a pity.
Because it was his student who succeeded Hokage, Jiraiya, who was finally able to get rid of his work and come out to witness, suddenly shuddered.
He scratched the back of his head and looked around, trying to figure out what was causing his shivers.
But everything around was normal, nothing was wrong.
He could only look at his old teammate Orochimaru not far away.
"do what?"
Jiraiya's movements were so big that Orochimaru, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, certainly couldn't have failed to notice.
In fact, with Orochimaru's identity, he could definitely stand at a higher and more forward position.
But as a loser in the competition, he felt that such a position was meaningless.
——It is better to say that the loser should hide in the shadows and not go to the front to cause trouble.
Actually, to be honest, Orochimaru was not completely indifferent.
There is also a feeling of reluctance.
After all, this is the position of the Fourth Hokage.
It is the highest honor a ninja can receive in his life.
It represents people's recognition of a ninja's career and strength.
Even if Orochimaru was not that loyal to Konoha and was not prepared to devote himself wholeheartedly to the village, he still wanted this honor.
But to be honest, I have to say that it is painful...
Actually, it’s hard to say.
At least it was much calmer than he had imagined.
Maybe it has something to do with the countless unfinished tasks on hand.
After the Hero Egg of 'Running Hero', Ms. Ugetsuki took on the job of making Hero Eggs for the Land of Earth and Iwagakure Village.
The production line, which was already overwhelmed, is now simply not enough.
Producing a new series of hero eggs means re-preparing the design and mold making.
Plus the production and preparation of raw materials...
There is also subsequent cultivation and packaging.
Orochimaru felt his breathing slow down just thinking about it.
He still has a backlog of work on the claw machine and gashapon machine commissioned by Miss Ugetsu.
It's just that the work on the 'Running Hero' series hero eggs is more urgent, so it was temporarily put aside.
I heard that Ugetsu has also reached an agreement with Sand Village and Tanshoku Street on the claw machine business, but I don’t know how to arrange it later…
Thinking of this, Orochimaru became less concerned about the competition for the Fourth Hokage.
On the one hand, the matter is done and it is useless for him to feel lost or in pain.
On the other hand, there was a pressing matter that required him to do everything he could, even using his shadow clone, to solve the problem.
Of course, the latter is more urgent and serious.
Besides.
It's not that Orochimaru is bragging.
No matter how important the Hokage is, he is only important to Konoha Village. To other ninja villages, it is just another heavyweight enemy.
And his current job.
It is aimed at users all over the world.
Regardless of country or region, people are eagerly looking forward to their products.
Isn’t this sense of accomplishment greater than that of a Hokage?
Thinking of this, he became calmer.
I even started to wonder if I left a shadow clone behind at this time, and then when I went back to work, I would be caught and scolded by those nagging and troublesome old people.
At this moment, Jiraiya came over.
"Hey, Orochimaru, you weren't trying to plot against me just now, were you?"
As the white-haired man spoke, his eyes were fixed on his old teammate.
"I have goose bumps all over my body. I looked around and found that no one else can make me feel this way except you."
Jiraiya came over with an expression that said, 'Just tell me the truth and I won't be angry.'
Orochimaru: "Do I need to do it secretly when I plot against you?"
He snorted
A sound.
Once again, I doubted whether my teammate's brain was full of water.
It’s okay for others, but Jiraiya?
Does he need to rack his brains to figure this out?
Jiraiya recalled the things that happened in the past: ...Damn it, he couldn't even refute this.
Orochimaru was right. If he really had any feelings towards me, there would be no need for me to make any special plans.
Because he would say it bluntly.
Anyway, I know for sure that I can't refuse, whether in the past or today.
…But then again.
If it wasn't Orochimaru, then who was it?
He put his hands in his pockets and thought.
It can't be Tsunade, right?
The first major task that Minato Namikaze did after he succeeded to the throne was actually related to the previous Sky Ninja.
To be precise, it is the resettlement of the rescued victims.
If this were a heroic story, the story would end with the victims being rescued and people facing the future with gratitude towards the heroes.
But in reality, rescuing people is just the beginning.
There will be follow-up work such as treatment, resettlement, and repatriation.
The treatment was okay.
The nobles gave a lot of commission money at the beginning, and later gave "consolation money" to the heroes. This money was enough to complete the treatment of everyone.
What is more troublesome is the subsequent placement.
The easiest solution is for those who know where their home is and have friends and family there.
Most of them did not stay for long, and after the triumphal meeting, they were picked up by ninjas from various villages.
The most troublesome ones are the remaining ones.
Many of these people's homes have been destroyed.
The war, coupled with the looting of the Sky Ninjas, meant that many people who originally lived in independent small villages and had never left their hometowns in their entire lives were not sure where their homes were.
The other part knows their own home, but rebuilding it when they have nothing is not something that can be done just by talking about it.
In order to trick people away, Shennong would often choose to make everyone in the village sick.
When a person is sick, he or she naturally cannot do his or her original job.
They couldn't do any farming or manual work, especially since they had been abducted for such a long time.
The village was so completely deserted that it was difficult to start life again.
These are also very unfamiliar things to ninjas.
After all, the main content of their work on weekdays is "destruction".
Rather than 'construction'.
The newly-appointed Fourth Hokage pondered for a long time and finally decided to ask Ugetsu for his opinion.
——After all, among so many people, she is the only one who looks like she knows what to do.
And Yu Yue did not disappoint his expectations and gave the answer on the spot.
"Send it to the Sand Village. Isn't the Sand Village always short of manpower?"
"Isn't the 'outer city' that we prepared for the ninjas who come to work in the Sand Village still there? Let's put them there to work first."
Rather than giving someone a sum of money and sending them away, it is better to give them a place to stay and a stable job.
They had been abducted by Shennong for such a long time, and they needed some time and opportunity to return to normal life. It would be a good thing if they could forget those nightmarish days during this transition period.
If you are homeless, you might as well stay there and continue to work.
If you want to go home, you can work here for a while to save some money, and then go home to rebuild.
"It just so happens that they are in need of a place to stay, and the Sand Village is short of manpower. Isn't this just perfect?"
Just like Ugetsu said before.
Of course, ninjas are useful, and she would definitely choose a ninja who can do the work of five to carry out her own project.
But not all jobs require ninjas.
——In other words, the number of ninjas is difficult to meet the needs of all kinds of work from all over the world. It is also a waste for a large number of ninjas to be piled up on production lines or assembly lines.
So when a project gets on track and expands in scale, hiring ordinary people as employees is an inevitable result.
It just so happens that there is a group of laborers now, and it can be said that someone will give them a pillow when they feel sleepy.
Considering the location of the Sand Village, it may not be possible to find so many people by recruiting alone.
Namikaze Minato: ...This is really something I never expected.
In addition to the unexpected thinking, there is another reason.
"...I thought you wanted all your employees to be ninjas."
I didn't expect to hear Miss Yu Yue's proposal to hire ordinary people.
After all, Miss Ugetsu's main employees have always been ninjas or people related to ninjas.
When it comes to completely ordinary people, perhaps only Daisuke
You one.
But according to Kakashi, the drive and workload displayed by Daisuke-kun at work are no worse than those ninjas.
So it is difficult to view them directly as ‘ordinary people’.
Ugetsu: ...
Of course, I hope that all my employees can be like ninjas, doing the work of three people at once, working hard and willingly, and also being innovative and reaching new heights.
But it has to be possible.
"Anyway, let's contact the people in the Sand Village first."
When talking about the people of Sand Village, we have to mention Chiyo who stayed in Konoha as a "doctor".
Of course they also told Chiyo about this plan.
Chiyo also played a key role in this large-scale treatment, and can be considered a party to it.
In response to Ugetsu's proposal, she agreed immediately, more readily and naturally than Minato Namikaze.
“That’s good.”
"Before, Scorpio complained to me that there were not enough people. It would be great if a group of people could come to help."
Thinking of the complaints in the letter her grandson had written to her before, Chiyo smiled brightly.
As the designer and producer of 'Desert Ship' and 'Desert Star', Scorpion bears the most work pressure and workload.
It is also the place where the shortage of people is the greatest.
It is obviously unrealistic to let ninjas from other villages work as temporary workers all the time.
After all, each ninja village has its own work to do.
It would be good enough if they could be responsible for the transportation and escort tasks in various places.
As for the trivial tasks inside, they certainly cannot be relied upon - there are almost no ninjas from other villages doing them now.
In comparison, ordinary people are much more stable.
Especially having so many people at once was a real help.
Even if ordinary people's work efficiency is not as high as that of ninjas, they certainly won't work as hard as those ninjas who worked hard without knowing the reason.
But there are so many of them, and if everyone is responsible for a part, it will be enough.
“…Is it really possible?”
After leaving Ugetsu Shop, Namikaze Minato caught up with Chiyo.
Although he also thought it was a good idea, it involved so many people after all.
If it was because of Ugetsu and Konoha that the Sand Village kept the people under pressure, then Namikaze Minato would feel very guilty.
"What is it?"
Chiyo raised an eyebrow.
"I mean these people...if there are too many of them, we can..."
Konoha also shares some of the responsibility.
However, before Minato Namikaze could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chiyo.
"Do you want to regret it?"
"Young man, it's not nice to cheat an old man."
Chiyo's first reaction was that Konoha thought that they might not have enough manpower and wanted to intercept them.
That won't work.
"No, that's not what I meant."
Minato Namikaze quickly shook his head and tried to explain.
"I just think that this number is too large and will cause pressure on the Sand Village..."
"Of course not. How can I say too much? It doesn't matter if I say more."
Even a few months ago, Chiyo didn't believe that she could say such a thing.
After all, the Sand Village in the past couldn't even make ends meet, let alone be responsible for the food and drink of others.
But now it's different.
Then Chiyo naturally has to think according to the needs of the new Sand Village.
Okay.
Seeing Chiyo's alert look, Namikaze Minato knew that he was worrying too much.
He shouldn't look at the current Sand Village with the past mindset.
Now that his concern was resolved, Minato Namikaze went back with peace of mind.
As a result, on the first day, he met Orochimaru who came to him.
"Those people, leave some for me."
Orochimaru went back and thought about it, and felt that he should expand his production.
It would be impossible to complete the supply just relying on him, Hongdou, and the people temporarily seconded.
At least it's been difficult this year.
Rather than hiring people piecemeal, it would be better to just use the people who are already there. They have no connection with anyone else in Konoha, so there is no need to worry about people from other families or forces coming in to cause trouble.
They all come together, which makes management easier.
If there is no increase in employment after this period of work, then we can let these people go back.
If you're always busy, extend your employment time.
"If it's convenient, I'll take him away today."
Orochimaru thought this was an easy thing to do, but as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that there was something wrong with Minato Namikaze's expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Um... those people, Ms. Ugetsuki has already arranged for them to go to the Sand Village."
"Chiyo-sama said they want them all."
Orochimaru slowly typed a question mark.
"Everyone is in Konoha, how could you not think of leaving some for your own people?"
Minato Namikaze was stunned. He looked at the back of Orochimaru who left angrily and blinked.
...Well, maybe he needs to adapt to the changes in Konoha first.
If there is any change in the various ninja villages after the Triumph Conference, it is that each ninja village found that they were receiving more commissions.
The attitude towards ninjas has also improved a lot.
But what is more obvious is that the products in Ugetsu's shop are really beginning to be integrated into various ninja villages.
People don't have to go to the Sand Village to have fun.
You don’t have to buy items like Dream Bag and Snow Yarn.
But you still have to watch "Young Heroes" which shocked the five major ninja villages and most of the world.
Now, Young Heroes is truly a world-class book.
Therefore, the release of the comic version of "Young Heroes" once again triggered a buying craze among people.
Booksellers are everywhere rushing to stock up, and readers are everywhere rushing to buy.
Don’t ask, if you’re asking, it means you like it. If you’re asking, it means you want to see the handsome characters and special moves.
The ninja's moves are cool, but it's very dangerous to watch the ninja's special moves up close. It's different when you put it on paper.
You can watch it safely and with confidence.
Except for the illustrator who was exhausted from struggling to submit his work.
In order to review the manuscripts, the author Jiraiya had to create a shadow clone to take charge of the work on Orochimaru and "Young Heroes". He has been looking listless for more than ten days.
Most other people are happy.
For example, Daisuke.
Although he is a spy from the Hidden Mist Village.
But as long as he is not at work, he is an important employee of Yuyue Store!
He feels that the two are not in conflict.
In order to complete the former's work, he must first maintain the latter's identity.
If he cannot become an important, core employee, how can he obtain more important information?
It’s just like the “Young Heroes” book signing incident.
If he was just a temporary worker, how could he deliver the information in time?
Because Uchiha Obito was so angry that he was afraid that he would kill Daisuke, so he didn't contact him again. Daisuke always thought that his information played a role.
.
——As for why it turned out the way it did.
How does he know then?
Maybe those people from the Sky Ninja were too despicable and mobilized all their forces to snatch the book. The companions from the Hidden Mist Village were outnumbered and could only follow the investigation and finally catch the criminals together with the joint search team.
Daisuke felt even better when he thought that he had contributed a little to this.
Although he is not the hero on the surface.
But he could be one of the pillars that secretly supports the heroes.
Just like the ninja who taught Chikuwajutsu in Young Heroes.
If he hadn't taught Chikuwa how to use Chakra, how could Chikuwa become a hero later?
So he actually also has a share of the military medal.
But he couldn't say it out loud...he could only feel happy in his heart.
But it’s also good to feel secretly happy.
Just as Daisuke was in a good mood and stocking the claw machine, he was on his way back.
He suddenly saw Xin, who worked at the Yuyue store with him for a long time, being persuaded by a strange man to walk in a direction.
...What's going on?
Daisuke paused.
Could it be Xin’s relative?
That's not right. Looking at that man's fawning and attentive expression, he doesn't look like a serious elder at all.
Although Daisuke used to hate this kid who kept getting involved with him.
But as a 'colleague', I can't just watch someone get into trouble.
So he strode after them and called out to them.
"Xin, aren't you going to work?"
The gray-haired boy who was called turned around.
“Who is…?”
"Hello, hello. You are also an employee of Yuyue Store, right?"
The man smiled as he saw Daisuke approaching.
"I'm from Kaido Chamber of Commerce, my name is..."
"I'm not interested in your name. What are you doing with the kids in our store?"
"Ahem, I just wanted to talk to him. Oh, by the way, my name is Ono."
The man stubbornly said his name.
"You've come just in time, come sit down with me, it's my treat!"
Ono looked at Daisuke as if he saw prey.
He has been scouting the area for some time and has a preliminary understanding of the people in Yu Yue Store.
Like Uchiha
He would not touch people like Shisui, Hatake Kakashi, and Might Guy.
The former is Ugetsu's confidant, and the latter two are very famous ninjas of the younger generation of Konoha.
It was impossible for them to reveal the news of Yuyue Store.
Maybe they would even hold him down and torture him...
So he chose to start with those who were less difficult.
For example, this child named "Xin".
I've never heard of him, nor have I seen him in charge of any project.
They must be orphans who came here to work.
Although they generally don't have access to any key information, they are easy to approach and, since they are children, they are easy to coax.
Just leak some information to yourself and you will make money.
That’s right, Ono came here to get information.
The success of the Ugetsu store, coupled with the global spread of "Young Heroes".
There are many people who are jealous and want to replicate Ugetsu's success.
But they were all confused. Even if they wanted to follow Ugetsu's example and commission ninjas to do some work, they didn't know the key.
So someone with a quick mind sent Ono to dig up information and recruit people.
It would be great if you could dig up some information, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t.
They can poach people!
When it comes to business, you don't have to be like a ninja to be competent.
They can easily poach some people from Yuyue Store and understand its internal structure and plans.
If the person can continue to be employed, then we will give him some work and some salary.
If that doesn't work, just fire him.
There is no need to think about the future.
"unnecessary."
Daisuke certainly wouldn't communicate with such a suspicious person who would attack a child.
But Ono was not discouraged.
He stopped Daisuke and grabbed his arm in a familiar manner.
"Don't be so unkind."
"We're just chatting... Does Ugetsu Store forbid you from chatting with outsiders?"
Ono tried to use provocation.
"Of course not. How could there be such a job?"
"That's it, I'll treat you, let's talk."
As Ono spoke, he used all his strength to pull the person out.
"Eat whatever you want!"
"Daisuke-nii…"
Shin looked up at Daisuke, and there seemed to be a flash of worry in his eyes.
"It's okay, go back to work."
Daisuke waved his hand.
"Don't worry, he can't do anything to me. Let's go and talk."
As a spy, Daisuke certainly understood the man's intentions.
But he changed his mind.
Now that this person has come up to him , he can easily try to get answers from him and learn about the situation of other business groups.
If I could get some important information, wouldn't it be possible to improve my status in Yuyue Store?
That's why he pretended to be persuaded by the man and went with him to talk.
Otherwise, how could he be fooled by this provocation?
Daisuke felt warm at the sight of Nobuko still looking at him with concern.
"Don't worry, it's okay, just go back."
letter:……
No problem at all!
He used his own body to fish and finally got the man to take the bait.
As a result, before he could find out any information, Daisuke came up and intercepted him.
I was angry, but I couldn't show it.
I could only beat him up a hundred times in my heart - there was something suspicious about this guy.
Now it's ruining my plan...
That’s too bad.
How can it be so bad?!
