Extra 1: If there was Ugetsu during the creation period (Twenty-eight)
"I always feel that..."
Yu Yue frowned as she stared at today's report.
"Is there something wrong?"
As the voice came, a slightly cool finger pressed on Yu Yue's brow.
"Frowning all the time will cause forehead wrinkles - didn't Miss Ugetsu say that herself?"
The leaning young Uchiha said with a kind and considerate smile.
"Shisui."
The girl, whose brows were pressed, sighed softly.
"You'll get beaten if you talk about forehead wrinkles in front of a beautiful girl, do you know that?"
"Sorry, sorry."
Uchiha Shisui apologized obediently, and then asked curiously:
"What's going on? Is there something wrong?"
"It's not a problem...it's just that the number of orders we've received has increased dramatically recently."
Ugetsu stroked his chin.
Having more orders is certainly a good thing, but if they increase suddenly and rapidly within a certain period of time, I always feel like something is wrong.
For businessmen, a surge or a sharp decline in business usually means that something unexpected has happened.
You have to keep an eye on it.
Especially in the ninja world, no one can predict what will happen.
But Yu Yue thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure it out.
In addition to Senju Hashirama, Yu Yue also added some tried and trusted people to the door. They were selected, and Yu Yue also had "business commission" - that is, every time they took a job, they would give a "commission" ranging from 1% to 5%, so Yu Yue was not worried that these people would have any ulterior motives.
But even if more "salesmen" were added, the business would not increase rapidly . Besides, Yuyue had been keeping an eye on the data during this period.
They were all growing steadily, not like now, where there was a sudden surge like lighting a rocket.
If they wanted help, apart from the two brothers Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, they didn't have any good relationships with anyone in this world.
The tailed beasts are familiar... beasts, but they are from that world, not here.
There can't really be such selfless and selfless people in this world who can see through their true intentions at a glance and then serve them silently and secretly, right?
But if not, then which enemy ninja joined them and wanted to take this opportunity to kill someone?
There is also
It's a bit suspenseful. After all, even Ugetsu himself doesn't know which ninja will be assigned which mission.
After all, tasks nowadays are assigned based on specialties and inclinations.
There were dozens, if not hundreds, of ninjas with similar hands and similar tendencies.
"Could it be that someone is displeased with us and wants to tire out our ninjas by piling up missions?"
Yu Yue made a joke casually.
Although there is no such thing in the ninja world, there is such thing in the real world.
Rely on quantity to suppress the opponent, bring them down and then you can monopolize the entire market or something like that.
...But here, it's unlikely.
The ninja clan earns a lot and spends a lot, so they don't have enough budget to do these things.
For those ninjas who still take jobs as a family unit, they would like to take all the tasks they can take back to their own family.
Besides.
There are so many ninjas, if there are more tasks, we can just recruit more... How could anyone do such a stupid thing?
She could never have guessed that there really were people in this world who did such "stupid things"... and they were doing more and more of them, and were about to get stuck in it and unable to get out.
At first, Black Zetsu of course refused.
He has been moving among ninjas for thousands of years, and his life is going smoothly. He has no desire to take on any "commissions".
But thinking that now was the time to win over Uchiha Izuna and alienate Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, he could only swallow his anger and agree.
After all, if they continue to be so nice to each other, how long will it take for him to fool Uchiha Madara into carrying out his plan? Although he has waited for a thousand years, he doesn't want to miss another thousand years of waiting.
It's just a nod, but when you work, there's resentment and revenge in your heart.
Several ninjas had to be dragged in for one mission. If he got more than ten or twenty of them at the same time, that meant one or two hundred ninjas had to be dragged in.
Just wanting to influence so many people to make decisions without leaving any trace...even for Black Zetsu, it would be difficult.
So much so that when he finally got it done, he even had a strange feeling of pleasure called 'sense of accomplishment'.
Although I have never done this before, it was successful with just a little effort!
However……
"That's it?"
Facing Black Zetsu's report that sounded like he was taking credit for something, Uchiha Izuna not only did not look happy, but instead frowned, with a cold expression on his pretty face:
"Look at Hashirama Senju next door. He has so much work to do and has been given more tasks than you."
Black Zetsu:?
"That can't be calculated..."
"Why not? He does much more work than you do, and you only have to do this one thing. It's not as efficient as his, and you don't have as many tasks as him. Do you think it's reasonable?"
"But he's a ninja..."
The ninja has been looking for work for a thousand years, isn't it natural that they are good at it?
"But aren't you the will of the Uchiha Stone Tablet?"
However, Uchiha Izuna didn't buy his tricks and choked him back with just one sentence.
"How, Uchiha, is it possible to lose to the Senju!"
He spoke word by word.
This is not meant to fool Black Zetsu, but is Uchiha Izuna's inner understanding.
Even if they were to cooperate, the Uchiha could never be suppressed by the Senju.
Black Zetsu: ...
This was indeed the result of his deliberate influence over the past thousand years, but why did I feel so uncomfortable when I heard it now?
"this……"
"You are the will of the Uchiha Stone Tablet. Are you willing to lose to the Senju?"
Black Zetsu: I don’t care at all, okay? What do the problems between you ninjas have to do with me?
But Black Zetsu still remembered the role he was playing at the moment, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and join Uchiha Izuna in fighting against the same enemy:
"Of course I won't accept that!"
Uchiha Izuna nodded in satisfaction: "Well said, what should you do?"
Black Zetsu:?
What? Shouldn't you tell me?
Seeing that Black Zetsu didn't speak for a long time, Uchiha Izuna shook his head disapprovingly.
"You are not willing to give up, don't you have a goal?"
Black Zetsu was completely confused, but he really didn't understand what 'goal' he should have.
Over the past thousand years, everything Black Zetsu did was just to "revive his mother". Apart from the first time, he didn't consider anything else.
But looking at Uchiha Izuna's dissatisfied look...is it possible that every ninja can do it?
He was a little panicked and a little guilty and asked:
"Then how should I set this goal?"
“That’s something you should consider.”
Uchiha Izuna recalled Miss Ugetsu's usual tone and demeanor, then sighed.
"Forget it, since this is your first time, I'll give you a goal this time."
Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good to have a goal. With a goal, you will know what to do.
"Then you should first surpass Senju Hashirama in the job of pulling missions."
Black Zetsu: "Okay...huh?"
No, I'm just talking, I'm not really planning on competing with him, right?
Shouldn't I just do it as a token of my appreciation, to gain your trust, and then, like I did with Indra, slowly create a rift between you two so that I can take advantage of the situation?
Why do you really want me to compete with Hashirama Senju?
Black Zetsu was very dissatisfied but didn't dare to show it.
After all, he is now the will of the 'Uchiha Stele'. He stands together with the Uchiha, rejoices with the Uchiha and hates with the Uchiha.
If he showed that he didn't want to compete with Qianshou at this time, he would definitely be exposed on the spot.
So he could only nod.
"I see."
"You understand, why don't you act now? Your delay is enough for Hashirama Senju to take on another mission!"
What else can Black Zetsu say in the face of Uchiha Izuna's cold urging?
I can only grit my teeth and figure out how I can get more life back.
After Black Zetsu left, Uchiha Izuna did not relax immediately - even though he had previously belittled Black Zetsu by saying that "even ninjas can walk through walls and escape underground", but being able to do this silently and without being discovered is undoubtedly beneficial in espionage work.
There are definitely only a handful of people in the entire world who are able to evade their senses to this degree.
So even though he couldn't sense the other person's breath, Uchiha Izuna showed no signs of relaxing - and he didn't even go to discuss it with his brother.
This guy is trying to gain my trust, so isn't he also trying to test his true intentions and abilities?
Now it's a test of patience... who has better skills?
As for my brother...there is still Hashirama Senju, so this guy probably won't find any opportunity to attack.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Izuna even felt a little ironic.
Since when did he start to think that it was a good thing for his brother to be with Hashirama Senju?
But compared to the 'Black Zetsu' whose history and true identity are unknown, Senju Hashirama, the 'enemy' who has long been familiar to him, is indeed safer.
At least for now
This is what the previous cooperation stage was like.
However, since we can't find a brother, it's okay to create more obstacles for Black Zetsu's work.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Izuna stood up and walked towards Senju Tobirama's office with the information and documents.
Yes, because of the increasing workload, in addition to the desk at Miss Yu Yue's place, they also added their own office.
In addition to facilitating the handling of clan affairs, it also provides a place to store the increasing amount of documents and intelligence information.
“These are new jobs.”
Uchiha Izuna said as he threw a thick stack of documents onto Senju Tobirama's desk.
After just assigning a wave of work, Senju Tobirama, who wanted to relax, suddenly looked gloomy.
——He was saying why everything went wrong so early in the morning, and it turned out that the really unlucky one was waiting here.
Although he and Uchiha Izuna don't get along, it's for work after all...
Just bear with it.
Senju Tobirama took the documents without saying anything, and directly opened the first one to start examining it.
Because Yu Yue advocates filling out forms, the content and type of the task can be basically understood with just a glance, which saves Senju Tobirama a lot of work.
However, just because Senju Tobirama remained silent does not mean that Uchiha Izuna will not speak.
——If not for this, why would he go to his archenemy’s office?
"I forgot to mention that these are all tasks that my people pulled back."
He spoke 'carelessly'.
"If there's too much work for Hashirama Senju to handle, it's okay if you don't do it."
?
I'm not happy when you say that.
What does it mean that it doesn’t matter if you don’t do it?
Do you look down on your big brother's workload?
Senju Tobirama was furious, but looking at the number of commissions piling up in front of him, he... was indeed lacking in confidence.
With the increasing number of ninjas joining and the adjustment of work, the eldest brother has indeed rarely come to look for missions recently.
But that's no reason for you, Uchiha Izuna, to step on my head and sneer at me.
"It's just that I haven't submitted it recently. After all, we don't need that little commission. It would only cause trouble to our work if we submit two copies of the same document all the time."
Senju Tobirama immediately counterattacked.
"Going to a client's house to get a commission is such a simple job. Why do you need to report it immediately after getting one?"
? You want to say I'm sunbathing?
Of course Uchiha Izuna could understand the meaning of his words, and naturally became angry.
If it were in the past, he would definitely have to compete with Senju Hashirama to see who would win, but this time, although he was angry, he still remembered the purpose of his visit - since someone as serious and refusing to admit defeat as Senju Tobirama said this, then his purpose was achieved.
After being humiliated by him, he would definitely urge Hashirama Senju to get more commissions.
Everyone can see the efficiency of Senju Hashirama. Finding a dozen or twenty commissions is just a matter of making a few more trips.
In this way, in order to 'surpass' Hashirama Senju, Black Zetsu will have to continue to spend a lot of time and energy trying to pull the trigger, while his brother can take this opportunity to get more time than Hashirama Senju to think about how to complete the plan.
Even if it is not outstanding enough, the carefully polished plan is definitely more comprehensive and complete than the one hastily written by Hashirama Senju.
It really kills two birds with one stone.
Uchiha Izuna left satisfied.
Senju Hashirama was greeted by his younger brother with an unhappy look on his face.
"Tobirama? What's going on so late at night..."
Before he could finish his words, Senju Tobirama stated his intention: "Brother, you should continue to look for commissions tomorrow."
"I've looked at the workload recently. Brother, you are indeed tired. You are the founder. How can you convince others if your workload is not as good as that of your subordinates?"
Senju Hashirama slowly, slowly typed a question mark.
...No, what has provoked him again? !
