Chapter 9 Newcomers start work
early morning.
When the streets were still quiet, a young man arrived at the door of Yu Yue's shop.
A young ninja with silver hair, one eye, and a mask on his face.
He looked at the slightly shabby shop door and hesitated for the first time in his mission.
In fact, at the beginning, Kakashi Hatake really didn't want to take on this task of working in the store.
At this time, he was ready to enter the Anbu.
This is all he can do now as he has no relatives and can't even hug his companions.
The task is good.
If he keeps on carrying out the mission, he won't remember those things.
So he always longed for more tasks, so many that he had no time to think and could forget those bloody nightmares.
Even if he has to face the same danger as on the battlefield, it doesn't matter, as long as he can forget it.
However, the teacher he hadn't seen for a while gave him such a job as soon as they met, and Kakashi Hatake was still very confused.
but……
He touched his hair.
The teacher rubbed his head and asked so much, could he still refuse?
Just think of it as a way to kill time.
With this thought in mind, the boy knocked on the store door.
"I'm coming, the store isn't open yet...ah, Master Kakashi."
"Uchiha...Shisui?"
Uchiha Shisui, who opened the door, was stunned, and Hatake Kakashi was also stunned.
Obviously, neither of them expected to see each other here.
But they were all ninjas after all, so they wouldn't come up with a 3,000-word conspiracy in their heads and let the misunderstandings go on. The two of them explained their situations to each other in a few words, and then walked into the living room at the back of the store.
Hatake Kakashi's eyes quickly scanned the room they were in.
"I'm Hatake Kakashi...I'll be working here for the time being."
The boy's self-introduction was as cold as he seemed, but his eyes were already quickly observing the situation here.
The shop owner... He had heard of this girl before. She was the girl who opened a shop despite her sick body after her father disappeared. Although her spirit was admirable, she was just an ordinary child.
What really concerned him were the two Uchiha here.
The villagers couldn't recognize him, but there was no way he could make a mistake.
Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, one is a male
One is the recognized Uchiha rising star, and the other is the clan leader’s son.
Is there something special about this store that he has not noticed? Otherwise, why would there be two such important Uchiha here?
Like Shisui, the boy had just returned from the battlefield and was still very sensitive.
He also paid more attention to this mission that was suddenly given to him. Maybe there was some important mission hidden here, so he had to cooperate with the two Uchiha.
Then he received his first important task here -
Stir the syrup.
The boy who had struggled to survive the battlefield and had a Sharingan that could not be closed looked at the two small wooden sticks in his hands and the ball of brown syrup on them with a confused look on his face.
"As an employee of the original store, how can you not know how to stir the syrup? How can you be the referee for those kids who come to compete seriously?"
Ugetsu said as he handed the teaching job over to the two Uchiha.
"I won't say anything more. The work in the store is very difficult. Before the store opens, they will take you through the process, and then you will follow them for a practical internship. One day is enough, right?"
Yu Yue began to explain skillfully.
"..." Hatake Kakashi was stunned for a moment.
What?
"No way, Itachi learned it in just one day?"
The ninja couldn't hear this.
Hatake Kakashi swallowed the words that were about to come to his lips and immediately confirmed it.
"Of course."
"Mr. Kakashi, please pay for three servings of syrup."
Behind the counter, the young man standing on a stool turned around and greeted the person behind him.
"OK."
"Mr. Kakashi, could you please ask Brother Shisui to get the next batch of syrup? Also, the drinks are running low, please refill them."
"…I'll go right away."
Kakashi, wearing the same apron, was busy running around in and outside the store.
While calculating the bills, he was stirring the syrup and running around to restock the goods.
His mind was dominated by all kinds of numbers, and he had to be busy listening to all directions so as not to miss any entrustment from any customer or other "colleagues".
To some extent, it also satisfied his desire to be too busy to think about various things.
From being unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming proficient with practice, Hatake Kakashi did it in just one day, just as he promised.
Yu Yue, who took the time to stare at people, saw this and nodded in satisfaction.
Now that she can keep up, she should prepare for the next step.
"Itachi, go ahead."
"Okay, Ms. Ugetsuki."
Ugetsu said and Itachi nodded, jumping off the stool and walking towards the counter where his children were looking at him expectantly.
"Who's going to start?"
"I!"
"It's me!"
"All of you go away, let me who bought a large portion of syrup come over!"
"……hateful!"
The children who bought the syrup began to gather around Uchiha Itachi.
The reason why they took such action was also arranged by Yu Yue.
The characteristic of syrup is that it can be eaten and played with.
To eat, you only need a mouth, but to play well, it is not enough to have hands. To play well, it is a technical job.
Rather than letting the kids mess around in groups of two or three and then lose interest, of course the way to play is to upgrade the gameplay, show them more and cooler technologies, let them immerse themselves in them and can't stop, so as to maintain the popularity of the product.
Things that are too easy can easily make people lose interest, but the gameplay that requires technical skills and can be continuously upgraded and iterated is a different story.
So the game is always updating versions and new gameplay.
In reality, games and toys that can be passed down from generation to generation also have this characteristic.
Uchiha Itachi, who has mastered this technology and is of the same age as them, is the best promoter.
There is no need for him to prepare anything special or go find anyone.
As long as Uchiha Itachi 'inadvertently' demonstrated his climax technique, he would naturally attract the children's attention.
Then everything that followed fell into place.
The children were impressed by Uchiha Itachi's cool skills - some children who originally thought it was "nothing special" also rekindled new enthusiasm and pursuit.
How cool! That's awesome.
If I could learn this, I would definitely be the most beautiful person on the street! The king of technology!
They're fine, they can do it.
Tangxi is the No.1 in their hearts!
So Itachi Uchiha's job changed from selling syrup and restocking full-time to half time selling syrup and half time teaching children various ways to play with syrup.
Two sticks, three sticks
A stick, four sticks...all kinds of arrangements.
It is said that he is still studying how to play with five sticks in three dimensions, but because it has never been demonstrated, Ugetsu has never seen what it actually looks like.
But considering the little boy's usual obsessive-compulsive high demands, it should be a very impressive skill.
Thanks to Uchiha Itachi's superb technical display, the sales of syrup once again reached a new peak.
After all, "practice" also requires materials!
The children all joined in learning this cool way of playing with syrup.
In addition to the long queue for blind boxes in front of the store, children practicing vigorously with sugar syrup can be seen everywhere nearby.
When Minato Namikaze came to visit, what he saw was a lively scene that was far beyond his imagination.
It’s better not to bother you.
He stopped in the shadow nearby, quietly watching the lively and happy people, as well as his students who were working busily.
Although he still had that expressionless look, as a teacher, Minato Namikaze could easily see that he was busy.
call.
After delivering the last portion of syrup, Hatake Kakashi finally relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
If this job is difficult, it is certainly not as difficult as going to the battlefield.
But the constant calculations and busyness still consumed a lot of his energy.
What's next?
Oh, by the way, we also need to go to the back to prepare the blind box goods.
Then see how Uchiha Shisui and Miss Ugetsu are doing, and see if they need any help.
The boy, who was thinking hard even during his break, suddenly noticed a striking blond hair out of the corner of his eye.
Um?
"teacher?"
He looked in surprise at the young man standing under the shade of a tree not far away.
"I'm here to see you."
Namikaze Minato smiled and waved.
"But you looked busy so I didn't say hello to you."
"It's not that busy... it's quite busy."
Kakashi raised his hand to scratch his head, but noticed that he was still wearing gloves, so he gave up.
"Are you still getting used to it?"
“There’s nothing to adapt to.”
The silver-haired boy replied awkwardly.
"A mission is a mission and it must be completed."
“That’s right.”
Minato Namikaze raised his hand and rubbed the student's head.
He was deeply relieved to see Kakashi, who had previously had empty eyes, now like this.
In that way, the purpose of arranging him here would be achieved.
Minato Namikaze had no objection to students wanting to dedicate themselves to the village - he himself had done just that.
But that didn't mean he could watch his students die with a desire to atone for their sins.
So it’s good that Miss Ugetsu appears at this time.
Her employment commission was just right and became the optimal solution.
"Oh! It's Lord Namikaze Minato!"
"Yellow flash!"
The people around soon discovered Minato Namikaze standing here.
If we were to talk about the most popular person in Konoha at that time, it must be him who made great contributions in the war. It can almost be said that he influenced the entire world by his own strength.
People who noticed him gathered around.
Thanks to him, Yu Yue was finally able to catch her breath and rest.
The appearance of Minato Namikaze was an accident, but he has come anyway.
It would be such a waste if she did nothing.
Yu Yue rolled her eyes, and when he was able to separate himself from the enthusiastic crowd, she walked up to him.
"Hello, Mr. Namikaze."
"Excuse me for interrupting you."
Minato Namikaze bowed slightly to Ugetsu and did not treat her perfunctorily just because she was a child.
“It’s a really great business.”
"No way. It's all because of everyone's trouble."
Ugetsu responded expertly.
"You are here for..."
"Ah, I came to see if Kakashi was doing his job properly."
He had no intention of hiding anything and spoke generously.
"Mr. Kakashi is very capable and helped me a lot."
No one likes to hear others speak ill of their own children, so of course they have to praise them a lot at this time - not to mention that Kakashi's arrival really solved her urgent problem.
"By the way, since you are here, why not try our specialty?"
As she spoke, she asked Kakashi to make a portion of syrup for Minato Namikaze as well.
“Is this syrup?”
Minato Namikaze looked at the amber 'sugar' supported by two small sticks in his hands with great interest.
"Yes, it can be made into various shapes, which are both delicious and fun."
"I see."
After all, Minato Namikaze was a top ninja, and he didn't need anyone to teach him how to play. He deftly mastered the method of "playing". He quickly took two small sticks and mixed them together to make a beautiful shape.
——How should I put it? It took only a few seconds to create the logo of the Hokage Building. This really shows the depth of their love.
"How much?"
Of course, Minato Namikaze would not take advantage of others.
"It's okay. I'll give it to you." Yu Yue waved her hand generously, "Just consider it as your reward for introducing such a good employee to me."
She could still afford a portion of syrup, not to mention that she also got something more valuable.
'A product that even Minato Namikaze likes' - after this wave of publicity, are you still worried that she won't be able to sell it all over Konoha? !
