Ugetsu watched Shimura Danzo and the ANBU who 'accompanied' him disappear behind the door and lowered his eyes, hiding his emotions at the moment.
The image of a poor little girl who has been wronged and is seeking justice from others still needs to be maintained.
No matter whether others believe it or not, you still have to show it.
“…I’m so sorry.”
Watching the door close, the Third Hokage said exhaustedly.
The matter of the Nine-Tailed Fox did not stump him, but today he felt like he had aged five years.
He never expected Danzo to become like this.
He thought the other person had good intentions, just like himself, and was doing it for the good of everyone in Konoha and their families.
It's just a bit radical.
But that's understandable - after all, when the teacher just passed away, Konoha was in chaos and really needed some drastic measures.
But now everything is clearly moving in the right direction.
Why still...
The third generation felt that this was their responsibility.
If he had paid more attention to Danzo in the past and stopped him in time when he showed signs of this...
"Thank you very much this time, Miss Yu Yue."
If it weren't for Miss Ugetsuki's work and efforts, neither Chiyo from the Sand Village nor Killer Bee from the Kumo Village would most likely take action.
It can be said that although Miss Ugetsu did not directly appear in this attack, she at least accounted for half of the credit for "being able to get through it safely".
Minato Namikaze also followed suit and expressed his gratitude.
Even if it was just for the fact that Chiyo-sama saved Kushina's life, he should thank her.
"No, it's me who should be thanking all the wise and powerful elders for speaking up for me."
Ugetsu complimented with a smile.
But there was no smile in his eyes.
"Then I won't delay your work. After I'm done with this, please give me a chance to express my gratitude to everyone in Konoha."
After a friendly farewell of hello, hello and hello everyone, Ugetsu left the Hokage's office with Shisui.
Only after making sure they were far enough away that no one else could hear him did Uchiha Shisui reveal a worried expression.
"Ms. Yu Yue, is this okay?"
"…Why don't you talk to Lord Danzo and I'll go back to the Uchiha…."
Of course he was moved by Yu Yue
The lady's protection, but doing so would mean that she would completely become enemies with Lord Danzo.
——Is this really worth it?
At least Uchiha Shisui himself feels that he is not worth that much yet.
“Stop, stop, stop.”
Yu Yue stopped talking quickly.
"If you do this, then all my hard work will just be in vain, right?"
"But Danzo-sama is..."
"There is nothing that is impossible."
Ugetsu felt that he had finally discovered a flaw in Uchiha Shisui.
It's just that you are too naive in your attitude towards people.
It seems that he is naturally optimistic about "his own people"... a bit like the Third Generation, or is it because of the influence of the Third Generation that there seem to be a lot of people in Konoha with this attribute?
I always wonder how could "my own people" harm me?
If there is anything, we can talk about it. He can make concessions and doesn't mind suffering a little loss.
——Although such an optimistic temperament will make people live happier and easier to make friends.
But it is a taboo in terms of interest relations.
“Those who can talk can talk from the beginning.”
Yu Yue paused.
"On the other hand, if a person is not prepared to talk to you from the beginning, then no matter how much you say, it will be useless."
"At least, it's impossible until you completely defeat him."
She thought she should give him a warning.
“Don’t have any naive illusions about impossible people. Once you give in or retreat, the other party will definitely make you give in further.”
Seeing that the boy still looked confused, she raised her hand and ruffled his hair.
"But how many steps can a person take? When the next step is a cliff, will you retreat or not?"
"To retreat is to fall into the abyss."
"If you don't retreat, then all the steps you took back before will be null and void. Not only will everything you did be meaningless, but it will also become a reason for others to attack you."
The boy lowered his head like a cat that had made a mistake.
Following Ugetsu's words, he realized how naive his previous statement was.
——It is obvious that Danzo-sama, who gave orders without any reason from the very beginning, is the type who is "uncommunicative".
Then I thought about how Lord Danzo had previously shown murderous intent towards Miss Ugetsuki.
Uchiha Shisui frowned.
If it was directed at me, the one who didn't obey orders, then it would be fine.
But what about Miss Ugetsu?
What did she do wrong?
After all, it was only me who disobeyed orders, and Miss Yu Yue was just speaking for me from her perspective.
Seeing that the boy still didn't seem to react, Yu Yue simply clapped his hands.
"Okay, let's put an end to the unpleasant things. Let's have a meal together today to celebrate... no, to reward everyone."
"Granny Chiyo and Mr. Kirabi have worked hard. As the host, we must show some appreciation."
She pushed Shisui forward and narrowed her eyes.
Have a meal and talk about the follow-up of the project... and then I have to think about the Uchiha matter.
She could save the Uchiha from this, she couldn't just watch them get caught up in it again, no matter if this matter had anything to do with the Uchiha or not, she had to find a way to put it behind her.
By the way, she'll give Danzo a 'gift' - it's not her style to not reciprocate.
From nowhere, some strange gossip emerged from all over Konoha.
At first it was just the Uchiha.
I don't know where the rumor came from, 'The previous attacks were actually revenge by the abandoned Uchiha in the past.'
And this rumor seems to be true.
'During the Second Ninja World War, an injured Uchiha was rescued by a kind-hearted girl outside. During the recovery period, the two developed feelings for each other. Although they knew that their family and village would not allow it, they still couldn't help but get together.'
'Then the ninja said that he had a mission and would take her back after completing it. As a result, the ninja died on the battlefield. The girl didn't wait for her beloved, but found out that she was pregnant. The girl couldn't bear to abort the child of her beloved, so she struggled to survive with the child and the widow, and finally passed away. '
'Before leaving, she only had time to tell her child that your father is from the Uchiha clan of Konoha, go find him.'
'The poor boy lost his mother, and then finally came to the village, but he was regarded as a suspicious person because he said he was of Uchiha blood - because everyone knows that Uchiha never intermarry with outsiders.'
'At this time, the child's father had died in the war, so they couldn't even verify it. They could only follow the strict requirements of the village and clan and cruelly drive the child away - and then the scene not long ago happened.'
The cause and effect, even the time gate seems very convincing.
Such a legendary and dramatic story immediately won people's attention and conviction.
Even if someone doubts that this is too coincidental, after all, that is Uchiha, how could he allow his bloodline to be left outside?
Bloodline limit is not important?
But people's doubts will immediately be met with confident rebuttals from others.
"How else do you explain that the person who came here has the Sharingan?"
"Although the Uchiha had friction with everyone in the past, everyone is getting along very well now - and besides, what good would it be for the Uchiha to attack Konoha?"
"What if the Uchiha is crazy?"
"Come on, why don't you say something more outrageous, saying that Uchiha Madara is still alive, and that he came back to unify the human world?"
The argument between the two attracted the attention of a passerby, who followed suit with a few words.
"Maybe it's the Uchiha ancestor appearing."
It's just random guesses anyway, so just say whatever you want.
“It’s not impossible.”
After a burst of laughter, people continued to do their own things.
The man who made up a story that "maybe it was the Uchiha ancestor who appeared" told it to others as a joke.
"...Anyway, I'm with them, eh? Who am I with... Never mind, that's what I said anyway, don't you think it's interesting?"
The man suddenly couldn't remember who had told him that.
But the purpose is to tell the joke, so it doesn’t matter who the participants are.
Similar situations have occurred in many places, but it is hard to say who spread this gossip.
People couldn't explain it clearly, they just said they heard it from others and that's what everyone said.
Since he said so, he must have his reasons, right?
So when the villagers talked about the recent attack, they were more gossiping than angry, and more interested in watching the fun than indignant.
As for settling accounts with Uchiha?
That's even more hard to say. After all, people didn't lose anything. They just treated it as a grand eight o'clock drama.
Apart from the strange attitudes of people shaking their heads that Uchiha Fugaku often had to face when walking on the street, he would sometimes suddenly hear remarks such as "sometimes you don't have to listen too much to the elders about your own family matters" and "people who intermarry with others are also Uchiha, you still have to bring them back" during conversations.
The whole thing didn't cause much
waves.
This made Uchiha Fugaku feel embarrassed, but he couldn't help but sigh that Yu Yue's move was really brilliant.
That’s right, these weird rumors were all spread by Yu Yue herself.
Including those people who occasionally "quarrel" in the streets, these are all scripts arranged by Yu Yue.
When it comes to gossip, of course there has to be give and take, arguments and reversals.
If it's just a one-sided statement, there will definitely be people who won't agree and have other opinions.
And what Yu Yue did was to occupy both sides.
"It's the Uchiha orphan!"
"It's Uchiha Madara!"
"It's the Uchiha lunatic!"
They have already said what is true and false, good and bad, so any guesses made by others are just going around in circles in the middle.
Even because it is a joke, some of the 'truth' mixed in will be taken as a joke.
At this time, no matter who wants to use these things to incite others, they will only be treated as a joke and no one will take it seriously.
'It was the Uchiha who attacked Konoha' - this major event that could have caused a huge uproar and even completely split the Uchiha and Konoha, just passed by in people's laughter.
Except for Uchiha Fugaku and some elders who came from the Second Ninja World War who sacrificed some of their image, everything else is perfect.
However, when even some people in the Uchiha clan began to hesitantly say that "if there are clan members stranded outside, they don't mind bringing them back", Uchiha Fugaku still blushed.
——This is just a story.
Where could he find such an Uchiha 'orphan'?
However, Uchiha Fugaku's ugly expression was considered by his clansmen as him being in a dilemma.
So these Uchiha waited for the news of their family leader's reaction.
This further confirms the authenticity of this "legend".
If this wasn't the case, why would the Uchiha clan leader act so embarrassed?
When Danzo Shimura returned to work after a few days of "rest", it was too late.
When he got rid of the frustration of 'forced vacation' and was ready to show his skills, his carefully prepared impeachment of Uchiha had become a joke among people.
Even when he mentioned Uchiha Madara, others just had an attitude of "Hmm, maybe it was Uchiha Madara".
Shimura Danzo Nahara
The fire, which had already died down, flared up again.
——What do you mean?
I'm so serious but you guys are so perfunctory?
That was Uchiha Madara! The Uchiha Madara who wanted to destroy Konoha and fight a great battle with the First Generation!
"We already knew about this possibility, Danzo, you don't have to worry so much, it's okay."
People with good tempers would explain to him, but those who are impatient or silent would just respond with a "huh" or simply give him a look and let him figure it out himself.
Because he was suppressed in his own residence before and his contact with the "roots" was restricted, he did not receive these gossips in the village at the first time.
In addition, he himself does not like gossiping, so others will not come to him first to tell him about such gossip.
And it is this information gap of just a few days.
This resulted in him jumping up and down like a clown, but no one paid any attention to him.
If it were in modern times, people would probably ask with concern: "Is your village finally connected to the Internet?"
But that’s not all.
I don’t know when and where it started.
A new rumor has spread.
This time it's still related to Uchiha.
But there are rumors that there is a new data pack——
"It is said that it was Shimura Danzo who did not allow the Uchiha orphans to return."
As for the evidence?
That's obvious too.
Danzo made a big fuss about the Uchiha street closure, everyone knew it.
On that day, someone confronted Miss Ugetsu and wanted to take Uchiha Shisui away. If it weren't for the help of the Anbu and the enthusiastic people on the street, Uchiha Shisui might have been taken away by them.
Miss Yu Yue is so pitiful.
At such a young age, he has to make a living on his own and face such a vicious person who wants to steal his assistant.
Alas, how pitiful.
Adults are really...why do they bully children?
This happened on the streets, and people saw it with their own eyes.
Those ninjas actually have their own difficulties?
Also for Konoha?
People don't care that much.
They only care about what they see and touch.
Just like when the Uchiha treated people rudely, people hated them.
Miss Yu Yue is not only rich herself, but also leads people to create
receive……
That's a great good man.
Aren’t those who bully good people bad people?
In addition, there are people who have proved that Lord Danzo and the Konoha high-level officials had a big quarrel over the "Uchiha" issue that day.
What else is there to say?
Even if there are discrepancies, this matter must be related to Lord Danzo, and it was Lord Danzo who did something wrong.
Shimura Danzo: ...
Shimura Danzo was furious and helpless.
It is said that "Misfortunes often come in pairs", but for Shimura Danzo, "Misfortunes never come alone".
Before he could take any action against the Uchiha, wave after wave of troubles hit him in the face.
If it were in the past, Danzo Shimura would not have cared about these rumors.
After all, people who achieve great things don’t care about trivial matters, so what can a little message do?
If it really doesn't work, just catch a few of the ones who jump the most and teach them a lesson. There is no need to worry that the negative news will disappear.
But this time, almost everyone in the village knew about it, and even his old teammates looked at him strangely.
——Some people even talk about it specifically.
"Danzo, if you know who that orphan is, just tell us. What happened in the past is in the past, and no one will care about it."
"What we need to do now is to solve the current problems first."
Shimura Danzo turned his head sharply when he heard this.
"Do you really believe those false rumors!?"
The other party did not reply, but his eyes clearly expressed the owner's emotions.
Yes, Thaksin.
And it feels very likely.
In fact, this matter is to blame, and it is also because Shimura Danzo is usually mysterious.
He never missed any activity on Konoha's side, but almost no one knew about his own actions.
Considering Danzo Shimura's always strict attitude towards Uchiha... the more people think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.
In the past, Danzo Shimura only needed to sit there with a droopy face, and his majesty would be enough to suppress those who were inferior to him in status or fame.
But now, these people not only kept talking, but also flirted with him in front of him.
Some people even euphemistically said, "If the Uchiha clan leader can prove it, I'll believe it."
Let Uchiha prove his innocence?
If this isn’t a great shame, what is?
So within a few days
, the rumor once again spread that "During the Konoha high-level meeting, Lord Danzo had a big quarrel with other high-level officials, overturned the table and walked out in anger."
Of course, flipping the table might be an exaggeration, but the rift between him and other Konoha high-ranking officials was visible to the naked eye.
Without the tacit support of the top leaders, Shimura Danzo's actions would naturally be constrained in every way.
The entire Root's actions were like a rusted machine, no longer as efficient and fast as before. Many people even questioned his rule over the Root.
You can monitor the Anbu, but who will monitor the roots?
Just like this time.
Whether it was the closure of Uchiha Street, or the rumor that you didn't let the Uchiha people bring the orphans back.
We didn't know this in advance.
Now that things have turned out this way, it's difficult for everyone.
Once the seeds of doubt find the right place, they will quickly take root and sprout.
What's more, there are people watering and fertilizing.
The hard-working 'gardener' is working hard.
Although the 'pot' was stabbed into Danzo Shimura with a boomerang, this was only part of the action.
"Ms. Yu Yue, I've sorted it out."
Pharmacist Dou took out a stack of lists.
The above is the result of his joint efforts with pharmacist Nono.
If we were to say who among those present wanted to make Shimura Danzo uncomfortable the most, apart from Ugetsu, it would definitely be Yakushi Nono.
In order to make Shimura Danzo lose face, she wished she could use 300% of her strength.
Picking up a statistical table, Uchiha Fugaku asked curiously: "What is this for?"
"Something to make Danzo's milk tea fall to the ground."
This joke naturally follows up on the joke about the child and milk tea before Yu Yue.
"What kind of milk tea?"
Those who have never heard of Uchiha Fugaku naturally don’t know this joke.
——Are kids talking so strangely nowadays?
It's really confusing.
But it's said to be related to Danzo...
He scanned the paper in his hand quickly.
The above is just some simple data, where I have seen it, what I did, and a simple date.
As the leader of Konoha's security forces, he quickly realized what these data represented.
"What is this? The actions of the Anbu... the Root?" Uchiha Fugaku did not think that this data was too little - after all, it was the Root, and if someone could find out
It’s clear to them whether they still want to live.
"The date... is that day?"
"That's right."
'That day' - that was the day of the attack.
But he still didn't quite understand why it mattered.
Seeing this, Yu Yue kindly gave an analogy:
"While everyone is busy, and someone might even die, someone is hiding in the safest place, drinking tea and reading newspapers and doing nothing. What do you think?"
What do you think? You're still drinking tea and reading newspapers when something bad happened?
Of course it's a fire escape...
He reacted.
This is another 'exquisite little gift' prepared by Yu Yue.
Just think about it, if people knew that the Fourth and Third generations were desperately resisting foreign enemies, and other ninjas were either fighting or busy evacuating the masses, but only Danzo and his men did nothing... what would they think?
Maybe they wanted to preserve their strength, or maybe they wanted to hide and act as a "surprise attack from heaven", but no matter what the reason was, it could not cover up the fact that they really did nothing.
She didn't care if the Root was a hidden force hiding deep within Konoha.
Anyway, you didn't show up during Konoha's great crisis - Konoha is already in this situation and you haven't taken any action, so what are you for?
What Yu Yue wants to do is to stir up this public opinion.
What? You didn't even know Konoha had the Root? It doesn't matter. You just need to know that this is the team commanded by Shimura Danzo.
As for the purpose of the 'roots' and what they do, you don't need to understand them. You just need to know that they watch others die while they stand by and do nothing.
"Since they didn't do anything, you can't blame me for spreading the news."
The high ground of public opinion is right there, why shouldn't she stand there?
The girl ran her slender fingers across the data on the paper and smiled sweetly.
As the saying goes, the way to make an alliance stronger is to do bad things together.
Yu Yue is now in the same boat with Uchiha.
Besides, "spreading rumors" also requires the right people and venues. With the help of the Konoha Guard, who are familiar with the situation and personnel flow in various parts of Konoha, this matter can be done smoothly.
In fact, if Uchiha Street had not been closed, I would have been trapped outside, feeling anxious and not knowing what to do.
Uchiha Fugaku would not hold Yu Yue and extend
This hand.
After all, compared to Ugetsu, the 'outsider', Konoha, where he was born and raised, is more important.
Uchiha is Konoha's Uchiha. Even though there have been conflicts between Konoha and Uchiha for a long time, he still believes so.
But this incident was like a wake-up call for him to clearly realize one thing:
Just relying on the relationship with the Third Generation and Minato is not enough.
Even though in most cases they would help themselves and the Uchiha.
But the interests of the village are not always consistent with those of the Uchiha.
Uchiha Fugaku didn't want to be separated like this, but he also didn't want the same thing to happen again.
That's just like Ugetsu said.
The Uchiha needs some help…and Danzo-sama.
He closed his eyes.
Some lessons are indeed needed.
Uchiha held Ugetsu's hand - and it was not just a financial relationship.
It is not a matter of providing support in marginal areas.
But 'accomplice'.
Whether others are willing to admit it or not, Danzo has always been a core member of Konoha's power structure who has been rooted in Konoha for decades.
Moreover, to the Konoha high-level officials with whom they have deep ties, Danzo is still one of their own no matter what.
But it doesn't matter.
No matter how much affection and bond there is, there will be constant mistakes and estrangements.
It hurts more when you cut flesh with a blunt knife.
Anyway, the seeds of doubt have been planted.
She looks forward to the day when it blooms and bears fruit.
Yu Yue's wave of 'watering the flowers and fertilizing' was like water falling into an oil pan, which instantly detonated all the previous preparations.
In fact, from the "Uchiha orphan" to "Shimura Danzo hindered him from finding his family", people don't care so much about these things. They are just gossip after dinner.
But the final "inaction" really hurt people's lungs.
Konoha is fine, that's a blessing.
This was earned by countless heroes - such as the heroes of the Sand Village and the Cloud Village who fought hard regardless of past grudges.
People outside are working so hard, but you, as a high-ranking official in Konoha, are doing nothing?
How can this be justified!
For a moment, everyone was indignant.
Not only the villagers, but even some ninjas expressed their dissatisfaction.
We respect your past achievements and trust you, so we respect you and follow your orders.
——Is this how you treat us?
That's the Nine-Tailed Fox. If they're not careful or run too slowly, their entire family might be wiped out.
Now Danzo Shimura was in complete mess.
He was so overwhelmed that he had no time to take care of himself.
But the problems he faces are not limited to this.
Because the Third and Fourth Hokage came to him again.
"What a rare guest! You all came to my place together."
Faced with these two people who chose to betray him at the critical moment, Danzo Shimura naturally would not give them a good face.
You betrayed me before, so now that you realize the problem is serious you want to come to me again?
Too late!
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether it is the third or fourth generation.
Originally, their purpose of coming here was not to reminisce with Shimura Danzo, or to seek help from him as Shimura Danzo believed.
"Just tell me what you want to say, don't waste time."
The third and fourth generations looked at each other.
"According to the latest vote of the Council of Elders."
——As expected, you can’t do it without me. Do you want me to solve it?
After hearing this, Danzo Shimura still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Now we need to set regulators on the activities of the roots."
Because it was too outrageous for him, Danzo Shimura didn't even react at first.
By the time he realized what they were talking about, Danzo Shimura stood up and smashed the table in front of him with one slap.
"How dare you place people in my base!?"
Hearing this, Minato Namikaze's expression became serious.
"Master Danzo, although you are the head of the Root, the Root is the root of Konoha. Please be careful with your words."
This is the foundation I built with my own hands, it’s the result of my hard work!
And now you say he is not mine?
This is no longer a matter of bleeding hearts.
Shimura Danzo's mind went blank.
He appeared in front of the two of them almost instantly.
The idea of ​​killing the two people at this moment and then dealing with the consequences has even emerged in my mind.
However, the hand that was half extended was forcibly pulled back.
"reason?"
"Danzo-sama, there are no records of the Root's actions and funding, so it is impossible to determine whether it is as the rumors say, in a direction that is unfavorable to Konoha."
If it is only internal and not transmitted
, then they can discuss and resolve the issue internally out of trust and other considerations.
But now it has caused negative emotions throughout Konoha...it is not a problem that can be solved simply by holding a few meetings.
"Please understand - even if it's just to prove your innocence... Danzo-sama?"
Minato Namikaze was startled and hurriedly took half a step forward to support the staggering old man.
——It turned out that Danzo Shimura was unable to withstand the blow and fainted.
The commotion caused by the roots had not spread out. So Yu Yue was just preparing for the final part of the multi-functional stroller exhibition.
Speaking of this multifunctional baby stroller, it has been . And the baby stroller trade show has also repeatedly encountered various problems and accidents.
But fortunately, this time it is finally about to begin.
Because the Nine-Tails did not hit the village directly, the entire Konoha quickly returned to normal order.
Chiyo's workshop was not damaged, and the baby carriages were still there. Because they had more time, they even made a lot of extra parts.
The exhibition hall that Yu Yue requested was also quickly completed with the help of everyone.
The ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village contributed a lot.
At the 'Thanksgiving Celebration Party' not long ago, they felt the enthusiasm of the Ugetsu Store and the people of Konoha.
This made the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village, except for Killer Bee, feel very guilty.
They only did a trivial job of evacuating the masses, but Miss Yu Yue specially hosted a banquet for them and received so much praise and boasting.
They really feel very unworthy of the favor. They have no way to repay the kindness, so they can only work hard in what they can.
——For example, the construction of exhibition halls.
This door carries the exhibition hall that was the result of the hard work of the ninjas from Konoha, Sand Village, Iwagakure Village's Ugetsu Shop, and Kumogakure Village, and was eventually divided into three areas by Ugetsu.
'Display area', 'Trial area', and of course the most important, 'Exchange area'.
The exhibitions are all pretty much the same.
First came Ugetsu’s speech and introduction.
Then there was a demonstration of the stroller's functions.
Next is the time gate where people can move freely.
The complete stroller will be displayed in several glass cases.
In addition to two complete strollers, the trial area also has some spare parts for display.
Including storage for Ninja
Racks for tools, awnings that can be painted with seals, and so on.
Individual parts are more convenient than a whole stroller, which will allow more people to experience the special features of this stroller.
Although the quantity sold is limited, it is destined to be impossible to meet the needs of all guests.
But high-quality services still need to be provided.
In fact, if possible, Yu Yue would like to launch customized services.
It’s just that the construction period is already very tight, and it’s a bit inhumane to emphasize personalization and customized services...
After all, even a ninja needs to eat and rest to survive.
But it’s not a big problem. We can just iterate these services when the second or third generation versions are released.
As for products, it is impossible to make them perfect in one go.
We have to upgrade the space door.
Taking into account the participation of people from other villages, Yu Yue specially built a building that can accommodate a hundred people this time.
Taking lighting into consideration, a large amount of glass and lights are used to display every detail to people.
Yu Yue also customized special uniforms for the employees who work as receptionists and waiters.
In order to express the clothes she wanted, Yu Yue specially found the illustrator who drew illustrations for "Young Heroes".
She felt that her stick figure drawing would most likely drive the tailor crazy, and the crazy tailor would definitely make her suffer...so they should stop torturing each other.
The illustrator was indeed a professional. After just a short chat, he knew roughly what Yu Yue wanted.
He was even very generous and drew two versions for her to choose from.
——I’m really touched by Konoha’s good party.
The illustrator was also very curious about Ugetsu's design.
He had never seen anything like this.
No extra decorations or colors.
The whole thing is one color.
The difference is pants for boys and skirts for girls.
Not to mention, this kind of clothes with straight lines will definitely look very stylish if worn by young boys and girls in their teens and twenties.
Imagine two rows of neatly dressed, smiling young people greeting you.
Wow.
The visual effect is definitely extraordinary.
While uniforms are being made here, service training for people has also begun there.
Because it was just a small-scale exhibition, Yu Yue did not recruit anyone from outside.
A few older kids from the orphanage, plus a few ninjas from the store, would be enough.
Quantity is not the key, quality is.
From welcome to introduction, from attitude to smile, we strive for the best.
By the time the training was over, Kakashi Hatake felt like his face was about to freeze.
Is this really my face?
Why do I feel... I can't feel it anymore?
But others reacted more violently than Hatake Kakashi.
I saw a few people gathered together, but they were the only ones who kept their distance from Hatake Kakashi.
"…What do you mean?"
The silver-haired boy looked at those people who were far away from him but kept their eyes on him and whispered a few words to him from time to time.
No, aren’t we colleagues?
What is it that you have to avoid me, but you also have to stare at me and say it?
"Your face..."
"Are you really Hatake Kakashi?"
Daisuke and Might Guy, who were more familiar with him, spoke one after another.
The boy frowned.
"Why am I not Hatake Kakashi?"
Doesn't he think there's anything wrong with him?
"No way! This is the Hatake Kakashi I know! His true form is clearly a mask!"
Might Guy finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Hatake Kakashi slowly typed a question mark.
"Everyone knows the masked Hatake Kakashi, right?"
"Wait, what kind of weird title is this!"
How come I don’t know... No, that’s not right, isn’t there anyone who’s more handsome?
Do you think I'm a pervert by saying that?
"One of the famous 'Seven Great Mysteries' during the school days was the face under the mask of Hatake Kakashi!"
"How is it possible to see it just like that!"
???
Why is this topic getting weirder and weirder?
Kakashi Hatake finally couldn't bear it anymore.
“I am wearing a mask, but it’s not like the mask is growing directly on my face, right?”
"Who knows? After all, no one has ever seen that Hatake Kakashi take off his mask."
Seeing that Kakashi was still walking towards them, the others shrank closer.
"Don't come over here! Who knows if you're the real Kakashi!"
"Yes! Maybe Kakashi has been eaten by the masked monster. The current Kakashi is the masked monster, so he has no mask!"
——That’s enough.
The silver-haired boy took out the mask like a magician and put it on.
I saw a familiar mask.
Only then did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Yes, it's Kakashi.
It was the Kakashi they were familiar with.
Not only the ninja, but also several children in the orphanage showed relieved expressions as if "this is right".
This made Kakashi Hatake begin to doubt what kind of image he had in the eyes of others.
It's true that he wears a mask, but his name is not 'Hatake Mask' - how can someone's true form be a mask?
Although there were some minor incidents, all preparations are still proceeding in an orderly manner.
——Until the eve of the opening, Minato Namikaze came to her with an indescribable expression.
"…Why are there so many people suddenly participating?"
This number is obviously wrong.
Yu Yue was stunned when she saw those applications.
It is possible to temporarily increase the number of people.
But this is not just an increase but a doubling, right?
And not only the ninja village, but also the nobles...
No, what are you doing?
Come to my place for team building?
After hearing what Ugetsu said, Namikaze Minato's expression became very subtle for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the change in his expression, Ugetsu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
It seems like you know the answer?
"Um……"
Namikaze Minato pursed his lips.
In fact, he really had very complicated feelings.
"Because there are rumors that... the person who attacked Konoha did so with the intention of stealing a multi-purpose baby carriage."
Ugetsu: ...
Yu Yue: ???!
