Chapter 92 This is Ice Escape!
Before the woman could hesitate to give an answer.
A series of black shadows suddenly rushed towards the bookstore from the side, and along with them, several pieces of paper flew out - but if you look closely, you will find that they are not ordinary papers, but "detonating talismans".
“The signed book is ours!!!”
Money moves people's hearts.
Compared to the method of obtaining it by gambling on your face and luck.
Of course, some people choose a simple and straightforward method that is 100% guaranteed to work.
For example, 'open robbery'.
"It's the three violent brothers!"
The reason for this nickname is that every time these three people appear, there will be explosions of varying sizes.
When the three brothers heard that someone recognized their identities, they were not anxious at all.
Because it's too late.
They will soon be able to...
Just when the eldest of the brothers felt that his outstretched hand was about to touch the prize behind him.
A hand grabbed his neck directly.
It is no more difficult than catching chickens and ducks.
The other two were not treated so 'gently'.
One was knocked flying and rolled all the way to the end of the street.
The other one was hit by a lightning attack and lay on the ground, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
After that, several more attacks from the ninjas fell on them.
After a series of crackling and banging colorful light and shadow effects, the two of them flapped their wings twice like fish thrown onto the shore, and then became completely silent.
Compared with the two brothers, the eldest brother, who was just grabbed by the neck and had a red face and was struggling with his hands and feet, was actually the one in the best condition.
And all the detonating talismans that flew out were duds, disappearing silently.
Although the attack of these three people came very suddenly.
But this is the place to register your bloodline limit ninja and participate in the lottery.
The concentration of bloodline limit ninjas on the battlefield will never be greater than here.
Even though the three men appeared so suddenly at the beginning that they were caught off guard, they were soon able to move with the ninja's terrifying reaction speed.
The one who had grabbed the man's neck was Jiraiya.
The other two who took action were Tsunade who took the opportunity to slack off and collect information, and Kakashi Hatake who served as an insignificant bodyguard.
How could they not pay attention to security when they released the precious autographed books?
Woolen cloth?
It’s just because the people who came are strong enough that no additional security force is deployed.
The people who came here together also proved this with their own strength.
They really don't need any additional security here.
"How dare you steal my book!"
Jiraiya would not normally use such a rough method to arrest people.
But today he was really angry.
This is his book, a testament to his glory!
How could I let such a shameless guy meet me!
"Come on, let me see who is so bold as to send you."
Jiraiya maintained just the right amount of force that wouldn't suffocate the person, but would still cause them to feel the pain of suffocation, and he pulled the person away.
Dare to touch his hard work.
"Ms. Yu Yue, just leave the person to me."
Facing Ugetsu who was looking at him, Jiraiya patted his chest with his free hand.
"If anyone dares to destroy the happy event attended by 'millions of people', I will dig out the mastermind no matter how deep he hides!"
——The people who were shocked and even doubted their ears yesterday because of the fact that "there may be tens of millions of audiences", have instantly accepted this fact today and immersed themselves in it with real feelings.
Should I say that this is worthy of a ninja's ability to accept things?
Uchiha Shisui, who was standing in front of Yu Yue, also put away his defensive posture, and the ninja tools that he had just held in his hands disappeared again like magic.
If it hadn't been in public, Yu Yue would have almost attacked the boy.
——Where is it hiding?
"You're really brave."
Tsunade, who kicked the man away, walked to Ugetsu with a refreshed look on her face.
Sure enough, she prefers such simple and direct physical activities to working at a desk in the laboratory.
Tsunade is hemophobic, but there are many ways to teach someone a lesson without making them bleed - after working in the Ugetsu Shop for some time, she has fully mastered the method of changing her way of thinking.
Being afraid of blood doesn't mean she can't "exercise her muscles" anymore.
This kick seemed to vent all the depression that had been accumulated during this period of time, and the whole person felt brighter.
"Although Jiraiya is usually careless, Miss Ugetsu can still trust him... Who is there!?"
Because of a sudden robbery - although it lasted less than two minutes.
But the person who was still standing in the corner, looking at the bookstore with hesitation seemed very suspicious.
The woman was exposed in front of everyone.
Realizing that people were looking at her, the woman's mind went blank.
Who am I and what should I say?
She was originally hesitant about whether to join in, but now she was stunned. Not to mention responding rationally, she even had difficulty organizing her words.
"I am……"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone , the woman was so nervous that she couldn't speak clearly.
The less she could explain, the more nervous she became.
The more nervous you are, the less your brain knows how to react... and then you just stand there like a computer crash.
Seeing that the woman was about to cry, Yu Yue stepped forward and comforted her softly:
"Don't be nervous, are you here to buy books?"
Hearing someone talking, the woman nodded subconsciously.
"Are you also the owner of a bloodline limit? Are you ready to register?"
The woman was about to shake her head, but then she seemed to remember something and nodded.
It would be even more suspicious if he denied that he was the owner of a bloodline limit at this time.
Having someone to ask questions in a stable direction made her feel much better, and her thinking gradually became clearer - otherwise, if she was alone, her mind would really be blank and she wouldn't know what to say.
"Then you just need to line up... I'm the owner of Ugetsu Store, my name is Ugetsu."
"I...I'm Yukino."
Upon hearing Yu Yue's identity, the woman hurriedly responded, but her expression was more reserved than before.
"…Um, I, I may be a ninja with a bloodline limit, but I'm not very good at using it."
"It's okay, as long as you can show it. By the way, what is your bloodline limit?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, then stammered:
"It's... Ice Escape."
…
"What!?"
Ugetsu's eyes widened.
Perhaps it was because Yu Yue’s reaction was so great that the woman was also frightened.
There was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No, no."
Yu Yue quickly shook her head.
"Rather, it's great."
This is really a case of finding something without any effort after searching for a long time.
Isn’t the ice-making tool that you’ve been dreaming of finally here?
I am so brilliant for coming up with the idea of having the bloodline limit holders participate in the lottery.
“I see.”
The woman who called herself Yukino gave a dry laugh.
She actually didn't know what was good about it, but since Lord Ugetsu said so... then there must be something good about it.
Although she was confused, after this exchange, Yukino's tense nerves relaxed a lot.
The thinking is also clearer.
Now that we've come here, we can't return empty-handed, right?
"Then I'll go get in line."
At least bring back my son's favorite book.
Yukino lives in a small village where it always snows. There is not much to do in this poor village with frequent snowfall.
Reading at home is the happiest activity a child can have.
"Young Heroes" is the child's favorite book in the past two years, which has brought him countless joy.
"Go ahead, and good luck to you."
Although Yu Yue really wanted to recruit this person on the spot.
But she also knew that if she wanted to get close to the 'small animals', she couldn't be impatient.
Since she was already here, it wouldn't be too late to wait until she was done. Ugetsu even hoped that Yukino would win the special prize.
This can also increase the other party's favor towards Yuyue Store.
"Congratulations Miss Yu Yue on getting what she wanted."
Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui sincerely congratulated Ugetsu.
As the person closest to Yu Yue, he had often heard Yu Yue complain about "why there is no ninja who can turn into ice".
Today I finally got what I wanted.
Uchiha Shisui didn't think a woman would reject Miss Ugetsuki.
Or maybe he didn't think that the person that Miss Yu Yue was staring at could really escape.
However, perhaps the Bodhisattva was really tired of blessing, and Yu Yue’s sincere prayer was not fulfilled this time.
Yukino just drew a blue ball and got a poster.
...Although it is disappointing, it is actually within expectations.
At least I can bring my child back his favorite book.
Yukino quickly adjusted her mood and prepared to leave.
There is still a lot of work waiting for her at home.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw the man who claimed to be the owner of the shop.
Master Yue came over with a curly-haired boy.
"Excuse me……"
Did I do something against the rules?
Yukino became nervous again.
"No, no, it's just... Miss Yukino is from the Land of Water?"
"Yes."
Yukino blinked.
Although I don’t understand why you are asking these questions, as long as it’s not my fault, it’s fine.
"It's a long way, and it's been a hard journey."
"That's not bad..."
Hearing Ugetsu's caring words, Yukino felt a little warm in her heart.
For her who lives in a small place, it is really not easy to make such a trip.
It was just that her husband was too busy to come, and she didn't want to let her child's little wish go unfulfilled. Plus, the 'special prize' was really tempting, so she gritted her teeth and made the trip.
...But the results proved that she really shouldn't have any greedy thoughts.
"It's hard to climb mountains and cross rivers, and take a boat across the sea. Thank you so much for supporting us."
Ugetsu saw Yukino's expression relax, and then said casually:
"She is an amazing mother who devotes so much to her children."
?
Even Uchiha Shisui was a little surprised to hear Yu Yue suddenly say this.
How could she be so sure it was for the child?
However, Yukino's expression became softer.
"...No, this is all I can do for my child."
Uchiha Shisui was even more surprised.
And you got it right?
It's not surprising to see that the other person is the child's mother.
At her age, most people are married and have children, and the various marks on her hands also prove that she is someone who is often busy with housework.
"It's really impressive that you came all this way just to buy books for your children."
"Having a mother like Ms. Yukino, this child must be very happy."
"No, it's all our fault that we can't give him more..."
"I understand that parents always want the best for their children. But I don't think you can force it. You've done your best."
Yu Yue started speaking skillfully.
Although most modern people don’t like to hear people talk about children.
But for those who have children, 'children' is undoubtedly
A very suitable starting point for a chat.
Not only does it give the other party something to talk about, it can also greatly reduce their vigilance.
"If only we could earn a little more..."
As Ugetsu's conversation hit the nail on the head and was very familiar, Yukino gradually relaxed. Not only could she answer the questions fluently, she even had the idea of treating the young girl in front of her as a confidant.
No one had ever understood her like this before.
Every word seemed to touch her heart.
How can there be such a thoughtful person in the world!
Naturally, I let my guard down again and again.
Especially when it comes to the topic of 'giving children a better life'.
That really got her full attention.
When Yu Yue told me that she almost died because she was sick and her family had no money for treatment, I became even more worried.
Others may just think it is a tragic story.
But it’s different when a mother hears it.
I think of myself. What if my child gets sick someday, but I don’t have the money to see a doctor?
It's so horrible.
Just imagining it makes it hard to breathe!
"The most frightening thing is that you can't even borrow money."
Borrowing money is something that is difficult to talk about - it is almost like telling others directly that you are having a terrible time and are a complete failure, which is an act of throwing away your face.
But for the sake of the children, you have no choice but to do it. The scariest thing is that when you throw everything you have to the ground, you still can't borrow money to save your children.
...suffocated.
Yukino just thought about it for a moment and felt that she was about to die.
It's so horrible.
At the same time, an unprecedented panic and desire for money also arose.
"Yeah...but I can't do anything."
She was anxious, but helpless.
Because she couldn't think of any effective way to increase her income.
After all, all she can do is take care of the home and children.
"How can you say nothing can be done?"
Seeing that Yukino had successfully spoken according to her wishes, Ugetsu hurriedly continued her efforts.
"What?"
Yukino blinked in surprise.
"Ms. Yukino can definitely come to Ugetsu's store."
"To be honest, Ms.
The Ice Escape is exactly what our Yuyue store is in urgent need of."
"In the summer, the demand for cooling products will increase rapidly. Our Yuyue store is also producing cooling products for the summer."
"We urgently need Ms. Yukino's power." Yugetsu didn't say 'Ice Escape' but named Yukino - this would make people feel more needed and valued.
Seeing that Yukino was listening to him seriously, Ugetsu started talking about his own good qualities.
"The workload here may be a little heavier than in other places, but at the same time, there are more opportunities."
"Whether you want to get promoted in a certain direction or are confused about your career prospects, you can find your own position. We provide food and accommodation, good treatment, and extra subsidies for outstanding talents."
"If you just want to find a job that can provide a stable life, that's even better." Yu Yue thought for two seconds, "We welcome outstanding talents aged 4 to 50 to come and find their own future."
Considering that Itachi was only 4 years old when he came to work.
Yu Yue set the age limit for the next generation at 4 years old. Now that she has enough money, she will consider it as investing from an early age.
Tsunade, who was listening in, slowly typed a question mark.
Your span is too big.
Is it so casual?
Also, why didn't I know about this before?
So can Jingyin be brought back to work together?
What if there is any special event or trial qualification, wouldn't she have double the chance?
Tsunade fell into deep thought.
As Yu Yue spoke, she was also thinking about it in her mind.
In fact, she had had similar ideas before.
It would be better to train a group of people yourself than to keep hiring outsiders.
Considering that children in the ninja world mature early, their bodies are much stronger than their normal peers.
You can focus on learning and training before the age of ten, and start rotating internships after the age of ten until you find the most suitable position for yourself...
It’s better to do it today than to wait for a better day. It’s a good idea to take this opportunity to implement it.
"We have cooperation with the welfare home in Konoha. Younger children can study and live with the children in the welfare home first, working part-time while studying."
"Teens or adults will be directly screened and allowed to work after being confirmed to have work ability and no bad record."
"If children don't study, it means
Losing at the starting line?"
"When parents work so hard to give their children a good life, they must also give them a good future. When Ms. Yukino works for me, your children can also learn to read and write, and have more survival skills in the future... Isn't this a perfect win-win situation?"
Ugetsu looked at the woman.
"What do you think, Ms. Yukino?"
"I……"
Of course Yukino was moved.
She was so excited. Yes, she worked hard just to give her children a better life, so that they wouldn't have to live like they do now, without any decent toys and could only hold a book and read it over and over again as a treasure.
If it's like what Lord Ugetsu said, then Bai's future will definitely be stronger than mine.
but……
Facing Ugetsu who was thinking about her in every aspect, Yukino chose to tell the truth:
"Although I have a bloodline limit, I can't fight. Is this okay?"
"I don't even know how to use my own bloodline limit."
She looked at Yu Yue awkwardly, with cowardice brought about by inferiority in her eyes.
Compared to the other ninjas around Lord Ugetsu, she really knows nothing.
Can I really be qualified for this job?
What if I and my children are kicked out?
Although they are all "gambles", there is no chance to regret or start over in the "gambles" of life.
Her decision can truly change the fate of her and her child.
But whether this 'change' is good or bad is another matter.
"I, I don't know how to use ninjutsu either."
Bloodline limit is a very magical existence.
It allows ninjas to have special powers that others do not possess.
But 'being able to use' and 'being able to master' are two completely different concepts.
It's like a person can run at a record-breaking speed in extremely urgent situations, but if you want to fix this record-breaking speed and make it a normal state, in addition to talent, it also requires a lot of repetitive and boring practice to achieve it.
"That's OK, we have plenty of experienced staff who can provide guidance."
Yu Yue felt that this was not a problem at all.
"What else? Any other questions?"
"I...I mean, if I'm not qualified for this job..."
"I believe Ms. Xueno can
, but if you are really worried, you can also sign a contract with me."
"Three months of trial period."
"After three months, if Ms. Yukino feels that the job is not suitable for you or is indeed as incompetent as you worry, you can go home with this month's income."
"If necessary, we can even send someone to escort you back."
"I need to go back to see the kids first and tell my family...is that okay?"
Yukino was almost convinced. But since she was going out, she had to tell her family anyway.
Especially children.
There was no way she would just leave the child without saying a word.
"sure."
Not only did Yu Yue not object, she even added to the stakes.
"You can even bring your children with you. You can even bring your children with you during this period, and the benefits for children that I mentioned before will still count."
A child who has the Kekkei Genkai of Ice Release will most likely be able to use Ice Release when he grows up.
What is this called?
Buy one get one free, what a great deal.
"How about this, we go with you to your house, so you can save on travel expenses and food expenses. If you want to bring the child with you, you can also use our car."
"If you're taking kids, it would be better to have a car, right?"
When it comes to the excellent employees that she cares about, Yu Yue will not be stingy in treating them well.
This is ice escape.
Ice cream, shaved ice, iced milk tea, fruit tea, fans with ice cubes to blow cold air...
Wouldn’t next summer be wonderful?
Although this world has color TVs and refrigerators, it does not yet have air conditioners.
Before air conditioning was developed, it would have been better to develop an ice fan first.
Then I can find Scorpion and Orochimaru to study how to combine ice and fan together.
I believe they can do it.
“…Then, please!”
Yukino herself can make do with it no matter what, but as Ugetsu-sama said.
If she planned to take Bai with her, it would be better to have a car so as to avoid suffering.
In this world where going out basically depends on walking, for ordinary people and poor people, traveling long distances is basically equivalent to suffering.
Adults can still hold on for a while, but children can't.
Anyway, I am destined to accept the favor of Lord Ugetsu.
A little more then...
…I guess that’s fine.
Yukino was still a little uneasy.
But she had also made up her mind if Yu Yue could really provide her with these things.
Then she will use this life to repay Yu Yue.
Yukino said to herself in her heart.
Thus, the next itinerary of the group at Yuyue Store was decided.
They were going to accompany Yukino to the village.
But not everyone left.
Jiraiya still had to stay and watch the scene.
This is his hard work. Let him stay here, and I believe he cares more about it than anyone else.
In addition, Tsunade, Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui acted with Ugetsu.
Books and registration are certainly important.
But for Yuyue Store, Yuyue is the absolute core.
She must have protective forces around her.
So they packed their bags and set out before dawn the next day.
Although the relationship with the Hidden Mist Village has never been pleasant, and cooperation has never been reached.
But Yu Yue still has a good impression of the Water Kingdom and the people here.
After all, my first Bodhisattva was from here.
Her own golden sheep...well, she meant her golden client, who was also a great noble of the Water Kingdom.
She had always wanted to go and see this land that had nurtured countless gold medal customers.
After all, having so many gold medal customers proves that there must be more potential customers locally.
This time it just happened by chance.
Let her see what kind of 'feng shui treasure land' that is.
But before that...
"We've already set off, but I haven't asked Ms. Yukino about her child...what's his name?"
We can't arrive there and not know the name of Miss Yukino's child, right?
It will be difficult to show concern at that time.
"Bai," Yukino said with a smile while sitting across from Ugetsu.
"Because he lives in a snowy place, he is called 'Bai'."
A pure white child.
Yu Yue felt more excited.
However, when the group crossed mountains and rivers and took a boat across the sea to arrive at the village where Yukino was born, they found that the village was strangely quiet. !
