Ugetsu stroked his chin.
When the support event is getting so big, instead of looking for me, they want to spend money on the Sand Village... Are they trying to steal my money?
It’s not that Ugetsu is arrogant.
Instead, she is the real organizer of the event - the Chunin Exam is an important event for ninjas, and even if you sponsor it, they will not allow you to change the competition itself just because you spent money.
So even though Ugetsu was the title sponsor, he did not directly attack the Chunin Exam. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to cover all content except the Chunin Exam.
She doesn't care about the exam.
It's like sponsoring a ball game.
Whether the game is exciting or not is a problem for the players and coaches.
What she did was to book the stadium.
Do your own advertising around and buy peripherals outside the stadium.
In this case, instead of finding yourself to get involved, go directly to the team to talk.
It was hard for her not to think that someone was trying to steal her advantage.
This is interesting.
"Let's go meet this 'sponsor'."
Yu Yue decided to find out.
For the Third Kazekage, this sudden "donation" was also very rare.
It didn’t come earlier, it didn’t come later, but it happened at this moment.
If he went there, he would definitely agree - after all, no matter how suspicious the other party was, he had to let the ninja village survive first, right?
But now they are rich, and the other party came at the time when Lord Yu Yue was holding an event.
So he chose to consult Yu Yue's opinion.
——What if it’s a businessman who has connections with Ugetsu-sama?
He looked across at the man in a cloak and monocle, and the three young girls standing behind him.
Although the three of them acted very approachable, their attitudes were filled with arrogance that was difficult to conceal.
This is enough to prove that he doesn't think highly of himself, or the Sand Village. But he still wants to sponsor it?
Yu Yue had a similar feeling.
But rather than calling it 'arrogance', she felt it was more 'insincere'.
Businessmen invest with a purpose.
Unless it is just a small amount of sponsorship for university student activities, I don't care about other things, like large-scale cross-border activities like this one.
It's either for fame or for money.
There is always an urgency.
But the man in front of him seemed absent-minded.
"So do you want to sponsor the Sand Village, or do you want to sponsor the Sand Village's support activities?"
Yu Yue specifically asked about the two matters separately.
"Hmm? Either is fine."
This person's answer also confirmed Yu Yue's guess.
It is obvious that his sponsorship has other intentions.
At least the purpose has nothing to do with the Chunin Exams or the cheering activities.
Her thoughts changed.
"It's like this. Regarding this Chunin Exam, we have a quota requirement. It can't be less than this amount at least."
She gestured.
Noticing this number, the man's expression froze for a moment.
——Are you robbing me?
"If it were any other time, there wouldn't be so many, but now is the Chunin Exam. There are just too many merchants who want to participate, and we have no choice but to use this to limit them... Otherwise, it would hurt feelings if we allowed someone to participate and didn't allow someone to participate."
Ugetsu put on an expression that said, "I'm helpless too, you can understand that, right?"
"this……"
"It's a rare event of this magnitude, so of course we have to give priority to high-quality sponsors."
Of course it's fake.
This event was organized by her from beginning to end, and all the participants were attracted by her... She used her exquisite persuasive ability to attract them.
"Of course, we don't look down on people who can't afford the investment. In fact, I think every businessman has great potential and a promising future. It just takes some time."
“I believe there will be opportunities for cooperation next time.”
...This is really infuriating .
On the surface, I'm saying that I don't look down on anyone.
In fact, every word and sentence means "Don't come if you don't have money."
That's right, I just look down on you.
——How can a man who does great things tolerate such injustice?
The man's originally nonchalant smile was distorted for a moment.
"Of course, of course."
"There should indeed be an audit, and we can't let in any unscrupulous people."
Yu Yue immediately put on a smile and said considerately:
"As for this sponsorship... Of course, if you feel it's not appropriate, that's fine too."
"Sponsorship, definitely sponsorship."
No matter how painful it is, you still have to pay this money.
Flower.
After all, this is a ticket to finding someone.
The man - Hyde also laughed.
But this smile looks so forced no matter how you look at it.
"Then I can also move into the outer city..."
"Of course, but please be careful. The atmosphere in the outer city is quite enthusiastic right now, and everyone may be quite excited."
"No problem, I definitely won't bother with them."
As long as he finds the person, who cares whether there is any activity or not.
If it weren't for the caravan he had been chasing being here, Hyde would have never planned to come.
After handing over a huge sum of money, Hyde left Fengying Building with a gloomy face and walked towards the outer city.
"Damn it, if it weren't for the Gray Stone..."
Hyde has spent years searching for the legendary Grayl Stone.
However, even though he destroyed the village that was said to hold the Gray Stone, he was unable to obtain accurate information.
Recently, we finally got information that those who might know the news are now wandering merchants, traveling between countries to do business.
The latest news is that they came to the Sand Village to participate in the Chunin Exam.
In order to be able to act more reasonably in the Sand Village, he thought about donating some money to the poor Sand Village.
For the sake of money, the Sand Village should turn a blind eye to what happened between him and the caravan.
Maybe he could even hire ninjas from the Sand Village to capture those people.
But I didn't expect that when I arrived in the Sand Village, I found that it was completely different from the impression I had of it.
Not only is there an "outer city" that you've never seen before, but it's also so lively that one would think they're visiting a capital city.
——It’s outrageous.
I have only been investigating the Gray Stone for the past few years, how did it turn out like this?
You found the mine! ?
As a result, what was originally thought to be a small amount of money that could be solved turned into a huge loss.
Hyde took a few deep breaths before calming down.
It’s okay, these investments are necessary.
As long as we can find the Gray Stone, it will all be worth it.
Don't even talk about money then.
The whole world is his.
"Lord Hyde, would you like us to..."
The girl with a ponytail following behind him spoke with a grim expression.
Although she didn't finish her words, everyone understood the meaning of what she didn't say.
"No, now is not the time for us to act."
Although he hated that little girl to the core, he would not get into a conflict with her until they achieved their own goals.
Sometimes it's that simple to hold a grudge against someone.
Sometimes it’s just because of a look or a word.
This is what Hyde is like at this moment.
When he achieves his goal, the first thing he will do is to take action against that little bitch who caused him to lose a large sum of money.
After watching Hyde leave, Ugetsu narrowed his eyes and said to the Third Kazekage:
"It's better to find someone to keep an eye on him."
"What's the problem?"
"That guy has other intentions than drinking."
It's not for the Chunin Exam, nor for making a fortune from support activities, and certainly not for supporting a favorite player.
Under such circumstances, he still gritted his teeth and admitted his sarcastic words and took out such a large sum of money.
There must be something else he wanted.
"I'm afraid it's still something that can't be brought to the table."
The Third Kazekage frowned.
When it comes to money, he never doubted Yu Yue's analysis, so he made a judgment in his mind.
"How about we ..."
The Third Kazekage made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Yu Yue: “…That’s not the case.”
You ninjas are too absolute.
"Then I'll send an ANBU to keep an eye on it."
The reason why the Third Kazekage made such an absolute decision was that he wanted to know Ugetsu's judgment of him... Of course, in addition to this, he also wanted to solve the problem once and for all.
After all, now is the critical moment of the Chunin Exam. Whether out of responsibility to the ninjas or to the support activities (money-making activities), he feels that it would be better to solve it once and for all.
"Well, let's see what his purpose is."
He had just given a large sum of money, and then he was fired. The negative impact caused is far greater than getting rid of this person and the potential crisis he may bring.
So just when Hyde thought he had 'spended his money to avoid disaster', several Anbu members of the Sand Village who were experts in concealment had already started monitoring him.
Not to mention actions, even the daily routine, what was eaten and what was drunk, is clearly known to the Sand Village.
He was looking for a wandering caravan.
Nature is no longer a secret.
Although the Sand Village has not yet figured out the identity of the caravan he is about to find, it is only a matter of time.
Just when the atmosphere was so lively.
The much-anticipated Chunin Exam has officially begun.
Under the influence of the cheering activities, the first Yu Yue Store Cup multi-person competition not only attracted extremely high attention and participation, but also became an unprecedented money-making event, allowing countless participants to make a fortune.
And those who make money will naturally work harder to promote and attract traffic...so under such a virtuous cycle, it eventually formed a huge scale that was unimaginable in the past Chunin Exams.
Countless wealthy businessmen, nobles and tourists participated.
The venue alone had to be temporarily rebuilt twice - it had to be rebuilt as it couldn't accommodate so many people.
——Even the exam content was urgently adjusted.
It has become a more intense and entertaining way.
Originally, the first level should have been a test of the ninjas' basic skills.
The main content is the written test.
But this would be too boring.
So starting from the first level, all levels were changed to 'actual combat'.
Anyway, basic skills are also for actual combat, so it is better to just get started with actual combat in one go.
So the first level becomes——
"Sorry for the long wait! The first round of the Ugetsu Shoten Cup Chunin Exam that everyone has been waiting for is about to begin!"
The man holding the microphone stood in the middle and spoke in a loud voice.
"The contestants of this Chunin Exam are all elites from various ninja villages! Let us look forward to their wonderful performances - the first test is intelligence gathering!"
"We have prepared dozens of intelligence points in the desert with a radius of five kilometers. Only ninjas who successfully obtain three clues and reach the designated destination can advance to the second exam!"
His voice was transmitted by speakers installed all around, ensuring that audience members sitting anywhere in the venue could hear the commentary.
That’s right, a commentary segment has been added to this year’s Chunin Exam.
In addition to inviting a ninja with secret sound skills to serve as the host, they also generously invited the Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village and the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village to serve as guest commentators.
When it comes to ninjutsu, 'Kage' is recognized worldwide as the most authoritative.
"It's actually Ying who's explaining it!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience
There was a sensation.
That's a shadow.
For most people living outside the Ninja Village, it is something they may not see once in their lifetime.
Now people are even more excited.
If nothing else, I could hear Ying explain what he saw in this exam.
That’s enough time for them to go out and brag for a long time, okay!
Seeing people's enthusiastic response, the two people were a little embarrassed, but they were still happy in their hearts.
After all, this is the best reflection of their reputation and prestige.
The real "black technology" of this competition is that they specially dug out several ninjas who know the "mirage technique".
In this way, people can watch the game comfortably in the audience seats without missing any details.
When the game scene appeared clearly in front of people's eyes, there was another uproar.
So awesome!
This is much cooler than any movie screen!
——Of course, the ninjas of Takigakure who have always used the "Mirage Technique" as a way to confuse the enemy never thought that their ninjutsu would be used in such a place one day.
"Then I'll leave."
Looking at the other Konoha ninjas preparing to set off, Uchiha Shisui also prepared to join them.
"Go ahead...be safe."
Although Yu Yue has great confidence in Uchiha Shisui, swords have no eyes after all. What if something unexpected happens?
"If it really doesn't work, just give up. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It's only real if the person comes back well."
She looked at her top assistant with concern.
Alas, after all, he is my child. How can I not worry?
She worked so hard to keep him fat and strong, not for the purpose of letting an outsider who came from nowhere take advantage of him.
After hearing her words, Uchiha Shisui not only did not feel unhappy about his ability being doubted, but instead felt warm in his heart.
For ninjas, regardless of success or failure, they only hope that people can return safely.
If you are not really close to someone and you don't care about them, you won't say it out loud.
So he nodded.
"I will, don't worry."
After saying this, he turned around and began to instruct the others.
Including but not limited to, Miss Yu Yue does not like bitter tea, and although the desert climate is hot, she cannot be supplied with unlimited iced drinks and iced snacks.
say
During this time, his sight also swept across the white people present.
Bai suddenly felt uneasy and stepped back.
"When you wake her up in the morning, you must wake her up twice. Don't do something else just because Miss Yu Yue has responded."
Because there is a high probability that she will not be able to get up the first time, but will say "five more minutes" and continue to sleep.
Ugetsu: The smile gradually disappears.
"And we can't just prepare what Miss Ugetsu likes to eat or what she wants to cook."
This time, it was Kabuto Yakushi who avoided his gaze.
Yu Yue finally couldn't help but stood up and pushed Uchiha Shisui towards the Root Ninjas.
"You'd better go quickly. Your companions are getting anxious."
Oh my god, why are you talking so much?
Ugetsu pushed Uchiha Shisui's shoulders and pushed him out.
She really didn't want to see him again for a second!
This time the boy did not resist and was obediently pushed to the edge of the guardrail by Yu Yue.
"You can't sleep with ice fans all around you at night."
After giving his final instructions, he turned over and landed next to his companions at the starting point below as lightly as a bird.
???
Who among modern people doesn’t turn on the air conditioner when sleeping when it’s hot?
Your advice is unreasonable.
It's so hot in the Sand Village, what's wrong with having two more ice fans in your room?
On the other side, Gekko Hayate, who finally reunited with Uchiha Shisui, breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that people are here.
He was just worried about what would happen if Uchiha Shisui gave up the competition because he was worried about Miss Ugetsuki.
Fortunately, he still knew the importance of the Chunin Exam.
The first game is okay, but the second or the last game will definitely be a test of teamwork.
Uchiha Shisui and Gekko Hayate were both people who, for various reasons, had not been able to form a regular three-person team after graduation, so they got together at this time.
With them was a ninja that had never been heard of before.
He probably came from the root or the dark. Moonlight Gale judged that he probably came from the root or the dark.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the Chunin Exam at this age... and they didn't know each other. But even though they didn't know each other, they had worked together several times before leaving the village, so their strength was still trustworthy.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, there was also Uchiha
Shisui's fellow tribesmen teased:
"I thought you were going to say that Miss Ugetsu was more important and wouldn't come."
"What if something happens?"
The Uchiha had a very close relationship with the Ugetsu Shoten, so this was naturally just a friendly joke.
So Uchiha Shisui just smiled.
"Just give up when the time comes."
Moonlight Gale: "..."
Okay, I take it seriously, but not that seriously.
After all, he is Miss Ugetsu's right-hand man.
It's normal to make this decision... and for this 'famous' Uchiha genius, the Chunin Exam is not a big deal.
As long as he wants to pass, it shouldn't make any difference to him when he competes.
"But then again."
He looked around.
“There are so many people wearing the same clothes as in Young Heroes.”
At a glance, almost all of them are the three main characters.
Especially Nakamikado Osamu and Kugisaki Mayumi, the number was really overwhelming. If they were not wearing their respective ninja village forehead protectors, one would have thought this was some strange copy group instead of the 'Chunin Exam'.
"yes."
Someone echoed.
"Look, the referee is carrying the same ninja sword as Rai."
So this is not actually the Chunin Exam, but the same kind of conference as "Young Heroes".
Just as they were talking, a whistle sounded.
The contestants who were just joking or chatting with each other suddenly became serious.
Talk is talk, and noise is noise.
Something like the Chunin Exam, which determines one's future qualifications, must be given 300% attention.
"Then I declare the beginning of the Chunin Exams - the official exam!"
Following the host's voice, the boys and girls who had originally gathered at the starting point immediately disappeared from people's sight in different ways.
At the same time, the mirage technique directly above also began real-time tracking.
It shows people rushing on the road.
This was the first time for most viewers to see the ninjas on the road so clearly.
Some people were running with their hands hanging behind their backs.
There are also those who can fly out by jumping nimbly on sand dunes or protruding rock walls in a few ups and downs.
There are even some called ninja beasts.
"Wow!
What is that!
The land where people were moving suddenly bulged upwards, and then a huge monster with a huge mouth and sharp teeth emerged from the desert.
Since it is an 'exam', the Sand Village would certainly not choose the safe and peaceful desert.
The competition location they chose was the 'Death Desert' which was feared by countless people in the Kingdom of Wind.
There are dangers everywhere here.
Not only is there a huge temperature difference between day and night, but there are also monsters such as desert scorpions and giant sandworms.
In addition, the ninjas taking the exam also need to find ways to get food and water. With the existence of the Mirage Technique, it is easier for ninjas to monitor cheating than in the past.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Style: Kamaitachi!"
"Go! Hayatemaru!"
Even when they suddenly encountered monsters, the boys and girls did not panic, but instead used their own ninjutsu to fight.
In an instant, ninjutsu flew everywhere and smoke and dust rose up.
The audience was nervous, but at the same time they couldn't help but exclaim that it was so exciting.
Although the audience had already thought that this would be a very exciting exam before the Chunin Exam began, after all, the dazzling moves that the ninjas had used during their training had already demonstrated their strength.
But when they actually saw the actual game, it was far beyond their imagination.
A determined expression, decisive decision-making, and a variety of equally powerful ninjutsu and moves.
Isn't this much more fun than drinking and playing dice?
Plus this isn’t a drill or training.
Every crisis is so real and so dangerous.
Every time it makes people break out in a cold sweat and their heartbeats speed up.
People exclaimed and got nervous along with the participating boys and girls.
When you see them resolve the danger through various means, either neatly or with difficulty, you will feel relieved.
While feeling at ease, you will also feel full of happiness and a sense of accomplishment.
——It was as if I had also overcome the crisis.
Yes, yes, this has nothing to do with them, but this was won by the ninja they supported (liked), so what's the difference between rounding it off and winning it themselves?
In addition, the commentator is a ninja with a special secret technique related to sound. He already has a solid knowledge of ninja, and he can also use the secret technique of sound to affect people's emotions.
The atmosphere was even more heated.
Not only was it a thrilling experience, but I also got to hear professional commentary and understand the true mystery and thrill of it.
It feels good to ask.
It feels especially good to ask again.
Then, no one knew who started shouting the names of the ninja villages and ninjas they supported (liked), and the audience seats began to boil like water heated to 100 degrees.
Many people who used to look down upon ninjas also started shouting under the influence of the atmosphere.
It's so addictive. It's so addictive.
Why didn't they know in the past that the Chunin Exams were so exciting and joyful?
You should come more often...
What? Because the previous war hadn't been held in years?
That won't work.
It would be best if this kind of competition could be held every month.
At worst, once every three months would be fine... I'll have to propose this to the daimyo when I get back.
What war are we fighting for? Let’s watch the Chunin Exam.
Amid the deafening cheers from the audience, Yu Yue began to think about similar things.
It seems that people in this world really lack entertainment.
How can this be possible?
The purpose of life is to strive to be happy.
If there were only the Chunin Exams, there wouldn't be many such transnational competitions.
Moreover, these participants are only Genin, but there are so many Chunin and Jonin among the ninjas.
I have to go back and ask if there is still a 'Jounin Exam'.
Or maybe we could organize some Chunin competition or something like that.
It feels very interesting.
And you can't just hold down the ninja and take advantage of it.
Ordinary people can also organize "cheering competitions" to increase the sense of participation.
But before that...
"Kabuto, go talk to the Kazekage and the Takigakure ninjas who are in charge of the mirage technique, and ask them to think of a way to record the scenery from the audience's side. Then we can send it to the contestants. This is a show of support for them, how can the parties involved not know about it?"
The atmosphere among the audience was heated up.
Of course, we have to arouse the emotions of the contestants.
