To be honest, Konan and Nagato were not particularly willing to take on such a commission.
After all, this is far, far from their goal.
But Yu Yue is really willing to spend money.
There are no weird requests, and they don't need to consume the lives of ninjas.
...Why don't you do this job?
What's more, no one knows where Jue and that guy have gone, and they haven't contacted us or given us any money.
Of course they would choose to do the job happily for money.
Xiao's life is not easy either.
Especially right after the war, the Hidden Rain Village was a mess.
It's like you tell your employees: For the benefit of the company, we are going to open a branch, and you are the one who will run this branch.
As a result, when the people arrived at the branch, the structure was already completed.
The human, material and financial resources you promised before have not yet arrived.
——Then you can’t blame people for wanting to start a new business, right?
Especially Konan and Nagato, although they have the idea of ​​"wanting to make the world feel pain to prevent tragedies from happening again", they are not prepared to directly destroy the Rain Country where they were born and raised.
Even though this place has hardly given them many good memories, home is home.
There is no substitute anywhere else.
So Xiaonan began to work hard.
Although Nagato wanted to help, he really was of no use here.
I can only help with some other work and give some encouragement.
Fortunately, if you put aside distractions and focus on work, your efficiency will be high.
Xiaonan still completed Yu Yue's order before the deadline.
Although in theory, Paper Escape can do anything as long as it is made of paper, this is the first time it has been produced in such a large quantity.
Looking at the finished products piled up in front of him, Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of accomplishment.
So many! And she did it all by herself!
This is a feeling that you won't get even if you use paper escape combat or simply make thirty or fifty explosive talismans.
She wiped the tears from her forehead, went out and said to Nagato:
"It's all ready, I'll go deliver the goods."
"……Thanks for your hard work."
In fact, Nagato also wanted to go, but 'Pain''s' appearance was still a little special.
It would be bad if others saw anything.
Besides, the Hidden Rain Village also needs a person in charge, so they can’t all leave .
"It's okay. This is also for Akatsuki."
Xiaonan smiled.
"It's all the same."
There is no such thing as hard work or not.
Rather, they should thank Miss Yu Yue for this generous reward.
After all, that 'Ah Fei' has not made any movement until now.
If we really wait for him, the day lilies will freeze.
The more I think about it, the less reliable it seems.
Originally, Konan and Nagato were not of the same kind as him, but they became companions because their goals overlapped with those of Afei.
To be honest, it’s not that close.
Especially since the other party was so unreliable at the beginning.
——In the final analysis, it still depends on themselves.
With a sigh, Xiaonan set off on his journey.
The Hidden Rain Village is quite a distance away from Konoha, but for ninjas, this is not a difficult task.
In addition, Xiaonan is traveling alone, so there is no question of whether he is a burden or not.
She easily dealt with the blind "obstacles" on the road and arrived in Konoha.
The next time I saw Yu Yue was not in Yu Yue’s store.
Instead, they arrived at the Yuyue Store employee dormitory called 'Yuyue House' .
It's called a 'dormitory' but once you enter you'll be surprised by the clean, bright and warm layout.
Whether it is the decoration or the layout, you can tell at a glance that much thought has been put into it.
Even the ninjas from the five major ninja villages were tempted, let alone Konan, who had been displaced by war since childhood.
But only for a moment.
Xiaonan immediately came to her senses and followed the people towards the rest area where Yu Yue was - but this time, her evaluation of Yu Yue store and its owner, Miss Yu Yue, was even higher.
After all, anyone who can provide such good dormitories for employees must have put a lot of thought into it.
That's good.
"I received the stuff."
Uchiha Shisui, who was in charge of the inventory, nodded.
At Yu Yue's invitation, Xiaonan straightened his body unconsciously while drinking milk tea, with expectation in his eyes.
“These are the rewards.”
As expected, Yu Yue quickly gave her a suitcase.
Just like the scenes we often saw in movies in the past.
When the suitcase was opened, it was filled with money.
'Digital' and 'cash'.
Even if it is the same amount, the visual effect is different.
The former will make people feel "Wow, there are so many", but the latter will make people unable to take their eyes away.
It’s not like Xiaonan has never seen money before.
But she didn't really earn so much money so 'easily'.
No killing, no robbing, and no need to talk too much.
and……
“Is this too much money?”
She made a rough estimate and found that the money was more than they had agreed on.
"More than enough for me to give you as a bonus."
"It's really amazing that you can complete the task with such high quality and quantity in such a short time." She praised sincerely, "It's a pity that Miss Xiaonan is not an employee of Yuyue Store, so I can't give her the project bonus... I can only do my part. I hope we can continue to have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"…Anything else?"
Xiaonan looked up from the money in surprise.
After all this, isn't this just a one-time deal?
"Of course."
Yu Yue was also surprised.
She discovered that people in this world seemed to have some misunderstanding about "more".
Whether it's quantity or something else.
It's easy to feel like 'enough'.
But how is this correct?
The promotion of the first part has not caught up yet.
Don't talk about the surrounding area then.
The various poster colored papers used for promotion may not be enough.
Plus the portion that’s going to be used as giveaways or prizes.
Even if it were tripled, it might not be enough.
Because of the multi-functional stroller incident, the progress of "Young Heroes" has fallen far behind.
If you want to stir up the heat again, how can you do it without some rewards?
Yu Yue is about to contact the publisher to discuss the publication and promotion of "Young Heroes" (Part 2).
Now it’s mainly because Jiraiya’s manuscript for “Young Heroes” (Part 2) has not been published yet. Once his manuscript is published, I and the publisher can start working on it.
Now it can only be considered as an advance preparation.
There will be more orders after the event starts, but Yu Yue can’t estimate it yet, so she plans to wait and see the situation before deciding how many orders to place.
Xiaonan:?
Do that
So much, do you want to paste the house?
The girl who didn't pay attention to entertainment projects couldn't understand it, and to be honest, she didn't really want to continue doing it.
Although she didn't have to fight, she had to stay in her room most of the day and work hard, which affected the progress of other work.
In addition, the promised 'companion' has yet to show up.
She still has a mountain of things to do, how could she...
"Then please do it next time. As long as the quality and quantity are guaranteed and the work is completed on time, the compensation will not be a problem."
"OK."
Xiaonan agreed without a second's hesitation.
"Please feel free to contact me whenever you need me, Ms. Yuyue."
...It's impossible not to do it.
How could I not do it with such generous rewards?
How can a ninja be picky about his missions?
Uchiha Shisui tilted his head and smiled as he watched the two people communicating. He was not surprised that Konan would have this reaction. After all, similar things had happened to several people in the past.
Even though Xiaonan was only here to deliver the goods, since people were already here, Yu Yue certainly wouldn't just let them go without doing anything.
She simply took this opportunity to have someone prepare a super sumptuous meal, saying it was to welcome the guest - of course, the actual purpose was to gain his favor.
Such an excellent printer... With such an excellent ninja with bloodline limit, she would be itching not to recruit him under her.
It's not that she has any objection to the job of a ninja, but that kind of fighting and killing job really can't bring out her full strength.
Faced with Yu Yue's decision, Kabuto Yakushi, who could understand Yu Yue's thoughts 100%, immediately surrounded Xiaonan with a few children from the orphanage who had a very pleasing temperament and appearance.
Even if he was treated coldly, he would not back down, but would still surround her with just the right amount of enthusiasm and a bright smile.
Xiaonan is not a cold-hearted person.
It is only because of the extremely cruel and tragic things he experienced that he has become the cold-hearted person he is today.
Now looking at those enthusiastic, innocent and pure children, I can't help but think of what the three of them were like in the past.
She, Yahiko, Nagato...
The happiness she felt at that time is a 'treasure' that she will never forget in her life.
Recalling this, she became a little gentler in her attitude towards the children.
In addition to giving a lot of origami to the children, they were also more or less
I asked some questions.
For example, my favorite food is grilled fish.
But I also hate fried food.
And things like having two best friends...
Although they are not a big deal, if we only talk about improving favorability, there are still many aspects that can be done.
For example, the location and order of serving the dishes were quickly adjusted.
Tempura and the like were placed far away, while the fragrant grilled fish was placed in front.
Subtle thoughtfulness may not stand out in the overall banquet or event, but it can make individuals feel warm from the bottom of their hearts because of this kindness.
At least Xiaonan, who was present, had a small, soft smile on her lips.
Next time, I will receive a commission from Miss Ugetsuki.
I should try harder.
After finishing various tasks, Jiraiya sat down at the table again.
Although I don’t have to run around or be watched by the teacher...
Jiraiya looked at the draft of "Young Hero" (Part 2) on the table and fell into a philosophical moment of "Who am I, where am I, what did I write before, and what should I write next?"
He looked at the manuscript in front of him for a long time without moving.
——He doesn’t want to either.
But when it comes to inspiration, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it.
Jiraiya kept picking up and putting down the pen in his hand.
"I'm going to the bathroom first."
"Excuse me, Master Jiraiya, you've already gone eight times in this hour. Perhaps you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Yakushi Kabuto, who came to supervise Jiraiya, moved his gaze from Jiraiya's face down to a certain position.
Jiraiya:?
What's the meaning?
I am fine!
Seeing that this trick didn't work, he came up with another idea.
"Ah, I'm hungry. I'll go eat first..."
"What would you like to eat?"
Pharmacist Dou clapped his hands, and someone pushed a small cart in from outside.
There are all kinds of food in there.
From snacks, milk tea to staple foods, we have everything.
Jiraiya: ...
grass.
This feeling was so familiar that he seemed to feel the fear of being supervised last time again.
No, this cannot go on.
Free authors cannot duplicate
The same supervisor!
Suddenly a light bulb went off in his head and he came up with a good idea.
Yes, Miss Yu Yue had promised him before! This time, we can have a beautiful supervisor instead of that difficult guy named Kabuto Yakushi!
It's not like Jiraiya has never taken care of a child before.
But this is the first time that something is so difficult.
The problem will be easier if we change people.
He immediately smiled, rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Dou, Miss Yu Yue promised me before that she could let a beautiful woman be the supervisor."
"That's true." Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses. "Do you want to change to 'Beautiful Supervisor'?"
Jiraiya nodded immediately.
"Of course...ah, it's not that I have anything against you, Kabuto-chan, but you know, an adult male needs a source of inspiration."
It's reasonable, right? Writing a book is such a hard job that you need some encouragement and comfort.
He is not being lazy or pretentious, but making some necessary improvements for better creation!
It’s an urgent need!
"You are still young and don't understand yet."
Jiraiya soothed.
"You'll know when you grow up."
Pharmacist Kabuto: ...
If I were to become such a terrible adult, I would rather just run into death.
The boy couldn't control his expression so well, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Jiraiya didn't care either.
The child is just too young. He will understand when he grows up.
Pharmacist Dou narrowed his eyes and confirmed it one last time:
"Are you sure you want to replace the 'beautiful supervisor'?"
"Ok, ok."
Jiraiya nodded rapidly, he couldn't be more certain!
Anyway, the book had to be written, and he didn't expect to get away under Miss Yu Yue's surveillance.
Then if he can just have a pretty sister to feast his eyes on... he will surely be able to write like a god!
Pharmacist Kabuto nodded and stood up:
"I see."
He seemed to be prepared for this. He went out and said a few words to someone, and then the person at the door left.
"The new overseer will be here shortly."
"Uh-huh."
Jiraiya immediately sat back at the table cross-legged and began to imagine a bright future.
What kind of beauty will it be?
Although
It's great to have a hot body like Tsunade.
But this beautiful girl from a small family also has her own style.
Oh, I'm really looking forward to it.
Just as he was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Here we are."
What! So fast!
Jiraiya rushed to the door.
After clearing his throat, he opened the door:
"Oh, you're so welcome, we're sure to have a great time!"
Jiraiya laughed so hard that his eyes could no longer be seen.
Naturally, he didn't notice the surprise and then smile on the visitor's face:
"Yeah, I thought so too."
Sarutobi Biwako at the door smiled very kindly.
"It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect you to welcome me so warmly. Well, I can't let you down."
Sarutobi Biwako walked in briskly, and said to Yakushi Kabuto beside him with a smile:
"Leave it to me from now on, you go back first."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Kabuto Yakushi stood up, bowed to Sarutobi Biwako, then walked out the door without any hesitation.
Before leaving, he gave Jiraiya, who had already been petrified, a friendly smile:
"I believe that with this, Master Jiraiya will be able to think like a fountain and write like a god."
Jiraiya: ???
you come back???!
