Upon learning that the people from the Hidden Cloud Village had changed from conducting a survey to taking the money and leaving, to now preparing to stay permanently, Namikaze Minato didn't even bother to express his surprise.
After all, with the examples of Sand Village and Rock Village, the people of Cloud Village chose to stay...
There's nothing strange about it.
After a brief explanation, the matter was over.
Yu Yue didn't care at all - no, she still cared a lot.
She cares whether these people can give her some odd jobs.
But without a cooperation contract as a guarantee, they cannot be allowed to do the work involving technology...
Maybe it can come in handy when preparing for a trade fair.
After all, this is a job they have been looking forward to for a long time, so they shouldn’t mind if I just help out a little and do some odd jobs, right?
Compared to these people, Yu Yue has someone more important to meet.
The merchant from the Land of Rain who was rescued on the way to the Sand Village finally persuaded the ninja who could use "Paper Escape" - that is, he could do anything related to paper - to come along.
It’s very touching!
Her new peripheral products will be ready in one step!
Peripheral items like dolls or hero eggs are certainly good.
But small items such as bookmarks, colored paper stickers, posters and postcards are more widely spread.
Although these things are not expensive, they have a strong presence.
They can appear in a variety of places: windows, books, mirrors, cabinets and walls.
This is the real brainwashing.
So she greeted the world's one and only "Paper Style" ninja with 200% enthusiasm.
This is not a ninja, this is simply a money printing machine.
It is much better than any workshop or factory.
Xiaonan, who was treated so warmly, was very confused.
She didn't understand why the girl in front of her was so passionate. The look she gave her was so hot that it seemed to set her on fire.
To be honest, she hadn't originally planned to come.
It was only because this merchant, who had often supplied goods to Akatsuki in the past, had repeatedly invited her kindly that she reluctantly made the trip for the sake of their past and future friendship.
To be honest, she really didn't think that there was anything about herself that was worthy of the other party's attention .
After all, compared to Yahiko and Nagato, I have always been the inconspicuous, protected one.
indivual.
Xiaonan looked at the girl in front of him numbly.
"So? What do you want to do by specifically looking for me?"
kill?
set fire?
Or kidnapping?
Anyway, the only reasons why ninjas like these are specifically sought out are for these kinds of jobs.
"Well, this is what I want you to do, using your paper escape ability."
Yu Yue took out the sketch that she had asked the illustrator to draw before.
Including posters, postcards, bookmarks and more.
She knew it, so she thought the world was terrible...
etc.
Xiaonan suddenly came to his senses.
“…Do these?”
She looked at the beautifully drawn paper in front of her with different characters and actions.
"Yes... can't you do it?"
Looking at Xiaonan's strange and surprised expression, Yu Yue asked hesitantly.
Maybe she thought ninjutsu was too simple?
But didn’t the businessman say that she could do anything related to paper?
“Not really…”
Xiaonan was just confused and didn't know how to explain it to her.
She was even a little annoyed that she had been tricked.
I'm a ninja, and you want me to do this kind of paper copying work?
"That's great." Yu Yue clapped her hands and looked at her expectantly, "When can you start working?"
"Production...oh, I mean, how many copies are produced every day?"
"Do you need any help from us?"
"That's all Miss Yuyue wants me to do?"
Xiaonan still found it hard to believe, and she couldn't help but ask again.
"Yes, that's all for now - we are still preparing for the follow-up plans, and I believe there will be many opportunities to cooperate with Miss Xiaonan in the future."
Xiaonan: “…”
She couldn't help but look around, only to find that both people present had calm expressions, as if they were used to it.
This made her start to doubt again who the problem was.
No, you are ninjas too, right?
How could I remain so calm after hearing such an outrageous request?
——Of course, compared to other requests, this request is not too outrageous.
They've gotten used to it.
“These are only
Please agree to do this job that only you can do - of course, I will not be stingy with the reward."
Yu Yue wrote a number and handed it over.
"What do you think of this amount?"
"this……"
Make some paper and give this number?
Seeing people waver, Yu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and increased the bet again.
It's good to be tempted by money. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
"How about this, I know that such a sudden commission will take up a lot of your energy... How about this, I'll increase the fee."
"Um?"
Xiaonan looked up.
"I can double... no, times the commission, but I also hope you can speed up and complete what I ask within a month."
Xiaonan was obviously shaken.
Money, who in an organization doesn’t need money?
Before coming, she thought it was just a formality and she was not really prepared to work for anyone.
She never expected that this person would ask for money right away, and it was times... She really wanted to agree for a moment.
Anyway, it’s not a difficult thing for her.
But Xiaonan had seen a lot of storms after all, so she wasn't overwhelmed by the double commission money. She just said that she needed to discuss it with her companions and hoped that they could give her some time.
Yu Yue agreed readily, and then she turned around and went to discuss it with Nagato.
Nagato felt complicated after hearing this.
The current Akatsuki is neither the one led by Yahiko where everyone worked together for a better future, nor is it a huge dark organization that can threaten the entire world.
The war had just ended, and now that Hanzo the Salamander had been captured, the Hidden Rain Village had never been a wealthy place.
They are indeed... quite poor.
Nagato looked solemn:
"So how much can she give?"
"Multiples of this number."
Xiaonan responded in a deep voice.
"…Promise me."
Nagato responded with difficulty.
——In fact, he was really not interested in this kind of thing, but the other party gave him too much.
And this is exactly the time when they are short of money.
Although it is very discouraging to say this.
But even if he has no hope for this world, and wants to give it pain so that it can really wake up... then
You also need money, people and resources.
But the current situation is difficult, very difficult.
It's too difficult.
Therefore, with the help of her real 'money power', Yu Yue quickly got the answer she wanted to hear.
Great, the surrounding bookmarks and colored papers are all found.
Although it cost twice as much, it was a personal commission.
There is no need to consider the costs of site, factory, mold opening, etc.
Even according to what the merchant said, as long as it is something related to "paper", Miss Konan can use her own ninjutsu to produce it... This is equivalent to saving the raw materials.
Yu Yue didn't understand, but her pupils trembled.
How much cost can this save!
If we can get Xiaonan on board, we will have the entire production line + raw materials on board.
For Yu Yue now, all that’s left is to wait for a suitable opportunity to launch it.
As the year is coming to an end, there is actually no good opportunity this year.
After all, there are no days like Double Eleven and Christmas in this world that are called festivals but are actually for consumption.
Even if Yu Yue wanted to create such a day from scratch, she would need the right soil and enough preparation.
In the current situation where people have to travel over mountains and across rivers, it is still unrealistic to get everyone to gather in one place on time.
If you want to do it, you have to launch it simultaneously in stores in different countries and regions.
This involves the question of whether to open a branch or find a franchise, how to ensure the transportation and distribution of goods, etc.
Given the current situation, Yu Yue feels that the cost outweighs the gain.
There are too many places and too many people involved...the cost will naturally be a very considerable number.
No need.
Although there is no shopping festival, there are activities that can be used to promote national products...
For example, "Young Hero" (Part 2).
Ugetsu plans to let Jiraiya finish this work within this year when Orochimaru is less busy, so that it can be released at any time next year.
Although there are still more than two months until next year, considering that the finished product still needs proofreading, illustration printing, etc., there is actually not much time left for them.
Although good works are worth waiting for, popularity is equally important.
Yu Yue’s goal at this stage is to quickly capture the market, so it cannot keep people waiting too long.
Everyone knows that human beings are easily bored with the old and love the new.
What if someone else touched it during this period?
The trick is that the popularity of "Young Heroes" will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Yu Yue still plans to publish one book a year in two years, with the novel published in the first half of the year and the comics published in the second half of the year.
In this way, the new year will be dominated by her "Young Heroes".
If there is a kind-hearted Bodhisattva who helps her in the New Year, then next year will still be the year for her to take off from the same place.
Maybe even the animation can be completed ahead of schedule.
...However, Bodhisattvas can only be encountered by chance, and we cannot place all our hopes on them.
She still has to work hard first. Only when she has laid a good foundation and prepared well, can she seize that "luck" smoothly and calmly.
I won’t say any more. If I continue, she will start to be jealous of the Buddha again.
This is not good. You can hope for luck when doing business, but you cannot put everything on such illusory things as luck and noble people.
Ugetsu wrote the memo and gave it to Shisui - it was safer and more convenient to give it to Shisui than to keep it herself.
She didn't know where the boy usually put his things, but it seemed like everything she handed over would disappear like magic.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up and down at the young man in front of her, trying to find clues from him.
Isn't it said that even the most advanced magic tricks have flaws?
Of course the boy would not fail to notice Yu Yue's focused gaze.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you're concerned about?"
After spending such a long time together, Uchiha Shisui also summed up some of Ugetsu's rules.
For example, if she suddenly stares at a place with an expressionless face, it means that she suddenly becomes concerned about something. If she shows a thoughtful expression, it means that she is thinking about business matters.
"Don't talk yet, let me think about it."
Ugetsu refused to ask for the answer directly and prepared to try again. To this end, she even asked Uchiha Shisui to turn around in front of her.
However, unlike most magicians who only show their front views, there is nothing unusual about Uchiha Shisui, whether from the front, side or back.
……give up!
Every profession has its own expertise. She is not good at these things, so she shouldn't waste any more time on them.
"Where do you put all your stuff?"
"Thing...ah, you are curious about this."
As the boy spoke, he flipped his hand and took out Yu Yue's memo like magic.
"Is it this? Or..."
He's talking
, his hand moved again, and Yu Yue's memo disappeared again, and then several kunai appeared between the boy's slender fingers.
"What about this?"
He said with a smile.
The boy's hand was right in front of Yu Yue, so she grabbed it as if she was attracted to it.
...The hand is a normal person's hand, and the kunai...seems to be a genuine kunai? In order to confirm whether it is the real thing or some kind of "illusion", Yu Yue raised her hand to grab it.
“Be careful!”
Seeing that Ugetsu's fingers were about to touch the edge of the kunai, Uchiha Shisui quickly put away the kunai and grabbed Ugetsu's wrist, which was even thinner than his. For the first time, he spoke in a reproachful tone:
"No matter how curious you are, you can't just touch a sharp weapon without thinking."
The tone was as if he was talking to a child who was playing with fire.
"I'm just curious if this is real or just a magic trick."
Yu Yue's guilty excuse.
"I won't use too much force."
"You can get hurt even if you don't use force. Most of the ninja's tools are very sharp, and some even have special abilities, so it's best not to even get close."
The ninja tools that can be seen are only a part of them.
Most of the time we cannot see or cannot see clearly.
For example, the Senbon is no thicker than a needle, the steel wire is completely invisible in the dark, and so on.
Uchiha Shisui gave Ugetsu some brief scientific knowledge.
Then he asked curiously.
"What is magic?"
He knew about sleight of hand - smoke bombs and the like were one type of sleight of hand.
But magic?
——In fact, your ninja skills are quite magical.
But that's definitely not the explanation.
“It’s a technique that uses various techniques to give people incredible performances.”
“Is it just for performance?”
“…That’s the case most of the time.”
Yu Yue thought about some classic magic tricks from his previous life.
"For example, they can transform a living person into something alive, or make something appear out of nothing... oh, that doesn't count. There's also a big box that they put a person in, and then they cut a knife in the middle, but the person in the box is unharmed."
"Can this be done?"
Uchiha Shisui's eyes widened.
"What kind of technology is this?
Are you saying it's an illusion?"
"No, this should be called... a trick."
"Just some little trick to deceive people's senses?"
Yu Yue said uncertainly.
"It's not a ninjutsu anyway."
The curly-haired boy nodded.
"I guess so."
"If a ninja has such a technique, it's unlikely that they haven't seen it on the battlefield."
In the final analysis, ninja techniques are still to be used in combat. No matter how deeply hidden the secret technique or bloodline limit is, it will definitely appear on the battlefield.
You can't just rely on your bloodline or secret skills and get beaten to death without using them.
When you die, you lose everything.
“…”
Although it's just a casual remark, I always feel that if things like magic or human body cutting are put into the battlefield of ninja, it is not a trick but a reality.
Yu Yue couldn't imagine such a scene.
She brought the subject back.
"So? How did you do it?"
She squeezed Uchiha Shisui's hands and arms curiously.
There was a layer of calluses on the boy's hands, dry and warm.
The arms... don't have those exaggerated hard muscles or mechanisms.
She turned it over and over several times but couldn't find anything that looked like a mechanism.
Is it possible that there is actually a black hole in my hand?
Just brush it and everything will be sucked in?
“Well.”
The young man smiled and approached Yu Yue, then raised a finger to his lips and whispered:
"Trade secret."
He blinked as he spoke.
Ugetsu: ...
She said grimly, "I'm telling you, if you make fun of your boss like this, your salary will be deducted."
I think you're having an easy life.
"Sorry, sorry."
The boy raised his hands in surrender.
He clasped his hands together and begged for mercy: "Forgive me just this once."
What else can Yu Yue say when such a handsome, considerate and capable boy becomes like this?
I can only forgive him like a really good boss.
She didn't ask any further questions.
He just said in a cold voice:
"Give me the pre-sale registration form before the end of get off work today."
——Implications
Of course, don’t think about leaving get off work until you finish your work.
"OK."
The young man agreed generously.
Of course he knew that Miss Yu Yue was not really angry and was not trying to embarrass him.
Besides, it’s just a registration form, not something difficult.
After the jokes, it’s naturally time to work.
Before closing time in the evening, Ugetsu went to Orochimaru's production room with Sarutobi Asuma, who was reporting to Orochimaru.
She had to say hello to Orochimaru and then tell Jiraiya about the direction of his next work.
So that he can arrange the work at hand in advance, see whether he should finish it himself or sort it out, and see to whom he will hand it over.
There is new work to be done, and the current work cannot be thrown aside, right?
New and old jobs are both jobs and are equally important.
Orochimaru's production rooms 1-6 have all been put into operation.
Originally, the 6th and 7th were to be reserved for the later Iwagakure Village, but the 'Running Heroes' series was in short supply, so I had to use them first.
If number 7 hadn’t been almost finished, it would probably have been occupied as well.
“…I expect that we may have to expand to number ten.”
Seeing Ugetsu coming, Orochimaru simply reported his latest plan.
As a cost-conscious person, Orochimaru originally did not plan to build so many.
He always felt that the popularity was only temporary - after all, hero eggs were not edible and were not a necessity in life. After a while, people would naturally become indifferent.
In that case, the production room that we spent half a day to build will be idle. What a waste!
It would be better to build less at the beginning, and then have more people work harder.
Anyway, it would be good enough if I can handle the busiest time period.
But now this demand can no longer be met by shift work.
It still needs to be expanded - according to the current situation, it will have to be this volume for at least the next two years.
...maybe even more.
After all, outside of the Iwagakure Village, the people in the Kumogakure Village also seemed to be excited.
Assuming that each ninja village has two production rooms (tentative), the four ninja villages will account for eight in total.
"No problem, just make a budget and give it to Shisui."
Yu Yue will never suffer a loss when someone works for him, especially someone like Orochimaru who truly masters the core technology.
She certainly wouldn't haggle over such a small investment.
——Who would like a stingy partner?
"By the way, how is Jiraiya's work progressing? How long will he need to support us here?"
"It's still needed at the moment...what's wrong?"
Orochimaru knew that Ugetsu wouldn't speak without a purpose, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Is he needed somewhere? If it's two days..."
"Well... I'm planning to have him finish Young Heroes (Part 2). It's the end of the year now, so we need to reserve some time for preparation next year."
"It's a very important job..."
Orochimaru stroked his chin.
Of course he knows how popular "Young Heroes" is.
But in this case, his ninjutsu would be difficult to guarantee.
"Sure enough, I should go for the next commission..."
Orochimaru was actually not very willing to allow strangers who didn't know anything about the business to come to his production room.
But if there is really no other way, then it is not impossible to make adjustments.
Hearing him talk about the commission, Yu Yue showed a thoughtful expression.
She thought for a while, then said seriously:
"Mr. Orochimaru."
"What?"
"What do you think... Is it possible for us to rehire the Deputy Hokage to do the job?"
In modern society, many people are re-employed or look for jobs after retirement to start a second spring in life.
Actually, Naruto is also completely possible.
The work here is not strenuous.
What’s more, the current Hokage is also Orochimaru’s teacher… He knows him well, so everyone can feel at ease.
Of course, the main reason is that he is easy to talk to. As long as there is reason and evidence, it is very likely to convince him. In addition, Orochimaru is his student, so he can use both emotional and logical operations to persuade him.
Rather than looking for an outsider who you don't know well, it's better to find an 'acquaintance' who you have dealt with before and who you don't have to worry about causing any harm to your products.
Orochimaru was stunned.
Orochimaru was confused.
For half a minute his mind was truly blank.
——You are such a genius.
Orochimaru was shocked.
He never thought that someone could be so brazen as to set his sights on the Hokage. Although he was a retired Hokage, he was once a powerful figure.
Although Ying is also a ninja, most of the time, he
He is more of a 'symbol of the village' than a working 'ninja'. Basically, it can be said that the Kage of a village will hardly accept any commission unless it is needed for war.
Their job is more about keeping the village running and maintaining deterrence.
As for the retirement shadow...
I'm sorry, but it seems like this teacher is really unique.
As mentioned before, when Shadow is deployed, it is mostly on the battlefield.
The one who can compete with the Kage is often the Kage of another ninja village. Other ninjas who are not high enough will just die if they go up, unless it is a hellish round-robin battle like the one the Raikage faced.
A team of 10,000 mid-level and jonin.
That's really the case of ants biting the elephant to death.
Unless this is the case, when Kage and Kage face off, it is a fight between the two top combat forces in the ninja world - they cannot stop, and they cannot leave a way out, and the result is that it is difficult for both sides to have a good ending.
Most of the time they die together - like the second generation Tsuchikage and the second generation Mizukage in the past.
So the idea is to be able to live well enough to hand over to the next person and live a retired life.
His teacher was really the first one.
It’s no wonder that no one has thought about this in the past - after all, there was no retirement system in the past to give people the opportunity to think in this direction.
Although it was a very rebellious idea for him...
But isn't this better?
Let the teacher work for you, that’s great!
Based on his understanding of the teacher, the other party would most likely agree to this request.
Then...
Orochimaru imagined the scene, and his whole attitude brightened up a little.
As expected of Miss Yu Yue, every idea she comes up with is so novel and wonderful.
He nodded decisively.
"Sensei, he's a better choice than Jiraiya."
If you work hard and steadily, you will have more experience in using chakra... maybe it will be a magic trick.
Only Asuma Sarutobi's face turned green.
What? Let his father come to work with him?
Isn't this nonsense?
Noticing that Asuma Sarutobi had a look on his face that looked like it was about to crack, Orochimaru took the initiative to speak:
"Why, any comments?"
What a big opinion!
What's wrong with this?
But he can't say, 'I don't want to work with my dad.
It's like a child's words acting coquettishly, right?
This sounds even weirder.
He is not a child who has not yet gone to school.
Also, the old man is, after all, the shadow of the village (the predecessor), so it is unlikely that he would take on such a job.
"Think it's impossible?" Yu Yue raised an eyebrow.
"……No."
It's very possible.
Although he is the shadow of a village, the old man has always been a helpful person.
He doesn't have any image burden about being Hokage.
Thinking of this, Asuma Sarutobi became even more desperate.
It’s bad enough that I’m so busy every day that I don’t have time to meet and communicate with the girl I like, but how can I get her father to come work with me?
Is it possible that he wants to compete with his biological father?
No.
Imagining that future, his face turned green.
Ugetsu looked at Orochimaru and took the initiative to step forward:
"Although it may be a little hard to accept, isn't this a chance for you to surpass the Dai Hokage?"
"Or are you afraid? Afraid of losing to your father?"
"How is that possible!"
Although the old man is strong, he is not weak either.
"Then what are you worried about?" Yu Yue waved her hand.
"You adapted to the job earlier than him and mastered more work skills... Doesn't this give you confidence?"
——This is not a question of faith or not.
This is……
Wait, what's the question?
Asuma Sarutobi was confused by her.
"You have the right time, right place, and right people. Isn't this the best time?"
"Or are you scared?"
"How is that possible!"
How can a man say he is afraid!
Asuma Sarutobi immediately forgot his previous confusion.
"...The key is whether you can successfully persuade the old man."
He said stubbornly.
"Don't worry about that. It's our job."
Yu Yue looked at him with a smile.
"You just have to seize this opportunity and fulfill your dreams."
"Dream...huh."
I want to surpass the old man and prove that my ideas are correct... Is this my dream?
In fact, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't be sure whether this was
It was his own dream or wish, but after listening to Miss Yu Yue's summary, he suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.
Rather than constantly fighting the old man, perhaps it would be better to just demonstrate your strength?
Asuma Sarutobi fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Orochimaru's eyes turned and he took a step forward:
"For a teacher like you, it's useless to just explain it to him with words. He will only agree with your opinion if you have enough strength to prove that you are better than him."
——Even his most beloved student said so.
Asuma Sarutobi's mental defenses were already crumbling.
After all, they both had a point.
"It's unlikely for us, but Asuma, there's still a good chance you can do it."
"Defeat the teacher and then speak up to change him!"
Pah.
There was a sound as if something was breaking.
Asuma Sarutobi's expression was no longer wavering, but instead was extremely firm.
"I understand... I'll try my best now."
Before anyone arrives, he needs to sort out all the processes again to ensure that he can get ahead.
After all, the opponent is that old man - the former Hokage.
Jiraiya, who noticed that several people were talking about something together and ran over to join in the fun, was stunned. He looked at Asuma Sarutobi who was moving hurriedly, as if he saw another person who was about to go down a path of no return.
He opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally came close to Yu Yue, quietly pulled her and said: "Ms. Yu Yue, I think even if his past actions are unsatisfactory, you can't... push him too far, right?"
Being lazy isn't a serious crime, is it?
Using this method... Who can withstand it?
"No, no, no." Yu Yue shook her head after hearing this.
"How can this be called coercion?" Yu Yue looked at him in surprise, and then said righteously: "This is slander!"
“I’m making it up to him.”
"In the past, I failed to recognize his potential and only gave him some unimportant work, wasting a lot of his time."
"It's been so long. If his potential had been recognized, he would have become a backbone of the Ugetsu Store long ago, instead of having his talent buried like now."
Jiraiya:?
Burying talent?
What kind of talent is this? The talent of working hard?
"So he needs more intensive work to make up for the wasted time, and competing with his father is a good stimulus, allowing him to be more proactive in improving himself. Once he adapts to the current high work efficiency, won't it be easy for him to handle other tasks?"
"He may not be able to adapt to it for a while, but it is worthwhile to go through a short period of pain in exchange for high efficiency and good work habits that will benefit him for a lifetime, isn't it?"
Jiraiya was shocked: ...It was clearly overtime, why does it seem to make sense when she put it that way?
"Besides, this is also a good thing for the next Hokage. He is obviously strong and healthy. Wouldn't it be a waste for him to retire?"
"Just because he is too old to do the work of a ninja doesn't mean his life should become dull from now on."
Jiraiya: Who is dim?
"This is a chance for him to have a second chance in life!"
Jiraiya was shocked, but Orochimaru nodded in agreement. He supported Miss Ugetsu's idea very much. For him who worked in technology, "efficiency" was more important than anything else.
"That's right. Rather than doing things randomly without a direction, planned and efficient actions can complete the work faster and better."
“Competition is always an excellent way to increase motivation – teachers would be very happy if they knew they could help their sons in this way.”
Jiraiya shook his head so quickly that he almost sprained his neck.
"Orochimaru, you..."
You and we should be on the same side, right?
"What's wrong with me?"
Orochimaru glanced over with his narrow eyes.
"Jiraiya, I think you should also learn to improve your work efficiency."
"You are so old, but you are doing the same thing as people half your age. Shouldn't you reflect on this?"
Jiraiya: “…”
Forget it, he should have known that Orochimaru had never been from the same country as him.
Expecting him to "understand" me is just a foolish dream.
The possibility of him being with Tsunade might be greater than this.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said in frustration:
"Why are you saying that..."
"According to what you said, we should actually thank you, right?"
"That's not necessary. Just work hard."
Orochimaru denied it outright.
Jiraiya said thank you... forget it. In his impression, nothing good ever happened when his old teammate said "thank you".
It’s better not to thank me.
Jiraiya: Who said I should thank you? Please stop being so self-indulgent.
I was worried that if I continued talking, I would be burdened with more things.
Jiraiya quickly slipped away when no one was paying attention.
It wasn't until I could no longer see the two people that I felt a little safe.
For the first time in his life, he thought of his first teammate without any personal feelings.
Tsunade, where are you Tsunade.
Come back soon and take care of them, otherwise we will have no way to live like this!
No one knows whether Tsunade responded to Jiraiya's call.
But for Minato Namikaze, his big day was coming.
Because Uzumaki Kushina's due date is approaching.
Unlike other pregnant women, Uzumaki Kushina also serves as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
The reason why she came to Konoha was because she, like the previous Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, the first generation's wife, Uzumaki Mito, was born with the rare special chakra that could suppress the tailed beasts and the powerful vitality unique to the Uzumaki clan.
Although Jinchūriki can give birth normally, after a female Jinchūriki becomes pregnant, more of her body's energy will be used to nurture the fetus, so the effect of the seal will be weakened. Especially during childbirth, when the body is in the weakest condition, the power of the seal will be reduced to the lowest.
So her childbirth was a very risky thing, both for her personally and for Konoha.
Therefore, her delivery could not take place in Konoha Hospital like other mothers, but had to be secretly transferred to a specific "delivery room" outside the village.
Because it involves the important strategic deployment of the Jinchūriki Ninja Village, all of this is carried out in secret.
Even Yu Yue, who had always had a good relationship with them, didn't know about this.
The only people who knew about it so far were Dai who proposed it, Dai's wife Biwako Sarutobi who was in charge of Kushina's delivery, and a very small number of ANBU who were in charge of delivery and protection (supervision).
In order not to expose the secret, Namikaze Minato would use Flying Thunder God to move to the temporary delivery room after returning home to accompany his wife who was about to give birth.
"I brought the stroller that Ms. Ugetsu gave us."
He walked in with a box more than one meter high. As it was agreed in advance, this car was also made by Scorpion.
If it is ready, there is no need to wait in line.
Uzumaki Kushina seemed very excited. She went up and opened the box with her big belly.
She had liked it very much when she saw Mikoto demonstrate the functions of the stroller according to the instructions. Now that it was finally her turn to use it, she couldn't let it go even more.
After all, no matter how good someone else's stuff is, it's still someone else's.
This is what truly belongs to you.
"Because Miss Mikoto's stroller is so popular, Miss Ugetsuki asked Chiyo-sama to install an anti-theft feature."
Looking at his wife who was reluctant to let go of the stroller, Minato Namikaze spoke as if he remembered something.
"Anti-theft function?"
"Yes, there is a small seal engraved on the baby carriage. When it is normally placed, as long as it is activated, the baby carriage will be 'sealed' in place and cannot be moved..."
At this point, Minato Namikaze himself laughed.
"They said they were worried that someone might steal the baby stroller because they wanted it so badly... I never thought a baby stroller could cause such a big commotion."
Thinking of Miss Yu Yue's "trade fair site" that was under construction, he couldn't help but sigh.
Who would have thought that an event dedicated to a venue would be held just because of a baby stroller?
Even the ninjas from Kumogakure were willing to stay and wait for the trade fair just for the stroller.
Speaking of sealing techniques, that is Uzumaki Kushina's specialty. She immediately found the location of the sealing techniques engraved on the stroller and began to study it.
"Oh, here... I see, that's the principle."
"It's very ingenious. It doesn't affect the function, and it can be activated as needed... It's worthy of Chiyo-sama's work."
She was well versed in sealing techniques and nodded as she read on.
It didn't take long to figure out the working principle of this sealing technique.
"Then I can't lose!"
"Huh?"
The blond young man didn't understand why she suddenly said that.
"Minato, help me get something home."
The red-haired pregnant woman rolled up her sleeves, eager to try.
"Huh?"
The blond youth blinked in confusion, not understanding why he needed to pick up something at this time.
Did I miss something before?
"What's wrong?"
"Stop talking , go get me something, it's in the cabinet."
She became more and more excited as she spoke.
"How can we let someone who steals a baby stroller go?"
Apart from anything else, it is so dangerous for children in strollers!
"How can we just 'not take it away'? We have to make this shameless 'car thief' stay!"
Chiyo-sama's sealing technique gave her inspiration.
Since this kind of technique can be used on it, then the others can be used as well!
She will use the whole "Dragnet of Heaven and Earth, Where Can a Thief Escape" catching technique (tentative name)!
No, it would be too easy for him to just catch him. The scum who attacked the stroller (child) must be punished!
Uzumaki Kushina was instantly inspired. Her thoughts had never been so clearer. Countless sealing techniques emerged like eruptions, as if shouting "Use me! Use me!"
She made up her mind and her expression was grim.
Just wait, shameless thief, justice is coming!!
