Extra 1: If there was Ugetsuki during the creation period (XVI)
At the beginning, the ninja people did not actually regard this matter as a major event that would immediately affect them.
We actively approached them, not only because we were afraid that these two giants would really cooperate to form a monopoly, but also because we wanted to make a statement - to show that we have no intention of confronting giants like you.
Therefore, even if they lost contact with their tribesmen one by one, they were just anxious and worried, but they were not prepared to really step forward to question them or want to "settle accounts".
After all, the interests of the family are more important than those of individual members.
This is the case with Xiangtian's family, and it is also the case with other families.
But this doesn't mean it can continue indefinitely.
Especially since I heard that there are more and more jobs there, I even heard that some employers have said that instead of traveling all the way to the mountains to find the ninja clan, it is better to wait for them to send someone to register for the task.
If the former is still acceptable and considered a normal loss for the ninjas, then the latter is truly a fatal blow and will cost the lives of the ninjas.
After all, even if we lose three or five people from the tribe, we can still wait for the new generation to take over.
But without a client, there is no income.
That means standing on the brink of genocide.
However, although ninjas are powerful, they cannot influence the decisions of their employers or clients.
They can only try to make their clients change their minds.
But the methods that can be used are also very limited - as for using force, that is not allowed. Doing so will damage the reputation of ninjas all over the world. If you still want to do the ninja business seriously, you can't break this rule.
"Patriarch, we can't go on like this."
Yes, it can't go on any longer.
"Patriarch, we have to think of a solution."
"I see."
The head of the clan, who was surrounded by the clan’s high-ranking members, nodded solemnly.
“Now, let’s hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with this problem.”
Otherwise, if this continues, both people and money will be lost.
The various ninja clans were ready to make a move, while on the other side—
“How did you do that?”
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, who rarely met each other during this period, came to Ugetsu's office together.
Each of them plays a dozen different roles every day, while the other travels around the world, and also has to deal with various matters within the clan. After all this, they have fewer opportunities to meet than in the past when they had to confront each other on the battlefield from time to time.
Rarely encountered
When we are together, we naturally talk about recent developments and topics that both of us care about.
As for my younger brother's transformation, it is definitely the first one.
Both of them were very curious about what Miss Yu Yue had done to make the brothers, who used to be at loggerheads with each other and wanted to kill each other every time they met, become like this now.
This certainly doesn't mean that they suddenly become as close as brothers, like himself and Madara.
But he actually saw Tobirama and Izuna getting together to discuss something... yes, it was a discussion, not some sarcasm or even a fight.
This made Hashirama Senju feel as if the sun had risen from the west.
Maybe if you tell him now that 'the moon will fall down', he won't find it strange and may even be able to respond calmly.
After all, to be honest, he could still think of a way to deal with it if the moon fell down, but Tobirama's hostility and targeting of Uchiha...that was something he hadn't thought of a way to resolve in all these years.
I didn’t expect that this problem would be solved before peace was achieved.
So he was also particularly curious about how Miss Yu Yue did it.
Yu Yue's answer was also simple: "Of course it's because both of us have greater and more remarkable pursuits."
"In the face of such an incredible goal, personal emotions are nothing more than a minor issue."
"What great goal?"
Senju Hashirama was still confused.
After all, if we really want to talk about great goals...he has some too.
Just like in the world in the dream, they united so many ninja clans to establish ninja villages, and brought peace to the ninja world for a time... Isn't that also a remarkable practice?
"It's not like that."
Ugetsu could roughly guess what Hashirama Senju was thinking by looking at his expression.
But that's not the case.
"If you're talking about the Ninja Village, that's your 'great goal', but it's not the same as Senju Tobirama's or Uchiha Izuna's. Even if they're all working towards the same result, their goals are different, so their recognition and initiative are naturally different."
"What difference does it make?"
"Of course there is. It's like going to the same destination. Although the final destination is the same, your goal is to complete the mission, while the other person's goal is to enjoy the scenery along the way. Even if the destination is the same, the two people's goals and ways of reaching it are different. In this way, the one who fails to achieve his or her desired goal will naturally not try his or her best, right?"
"So the personal goals should be more in line with their own personalities and pursuits, so that they can take the initiative and choose to compromise on some less important things for this purpose."
"This 'not so important thing' refers to the conflict between the two of you?"
"That's right, because compared to this contradiction, they are more eager to do the work at hand to the utmost in a short period of time."
"So what is it?"
"Well... that's a trade secret."
Ugetsu raised her finger and made a 'hush' gesture.
The two people who were enjoying the listening but were suddenly stopped looked at each other, and they both felt anxious and scratched their heads.
But after all, they were at the top of the ninja industry, and the two of them quickly calmed down.
"I understand. Since this is Miss Yu Yue's exclusive secret, we will not ask about it anymore."
They are both very principled.
Originally, the two of them had forcibly brought people over without Miss Yu Yue's consent. Now, not only has she laid a solid foundation for their common goal, but she has also resolved the conflict between the two brothers, which they had been helpless to resolve.
They have already made extra efforts, and if they ask others to explain everything clearly, they are just taking advantage of others.
"Ahem, then let's just say I can work."
Senju Hashirama changed the subject.
“Ms. Yu Yue, you don’t know what I’ve been doing during this period… ah!”
Just as Senju Hashirama was about to use gestures to explain what he had seen and heard during this period, Uchiha Madara poked him in the ribs with his elbow.
"Brief instructions."
The handsome man with a gloomy buff spoke concisely.
"……oh."
"I went there during this time..."
Senju Hashirama had to swallow back the exaggerated words he was about to say and honestly explained the recent situation.
During this period of time, he has been "running business" according to Miss Yu Yue's requirements. In simple terms, he has been taking jobs everywhere in various identities and appearances.
At first, we went to places where there were friendly gestures or cooperation, and then these people’s relatives, friends or partners also joined in.
Then other employers heard the news and took action.
And it was the first time that Hashirama Senju realized that "superior services" were actually a problem for so many employers.
He always thought that employers came to him to hire ninjas.
It was normal for them to serve, and I never thought that it would be a 'trouble' for the employer to go from his home to the ninja's base.
He never expected that just by providing "superior services" and saying a few nice words, so many employers would give him the jobs that were originally given to some long-term ninjas.
Of course, there are also people who say sarcastic or difficult things, but the one who can stand it is Hashirama Senju, the one who never takes things to heart so subtle, he may not even be able to hear it, so it is often the person who says it who has a stomachache, and he is completely unaware of it.
It highlights that whoever commits a humiliation first will be unlucky.
Coupled with Hashirama Senju's terrifyingly abundant physical strength, his high efficiency is highlighted.
The seemingly endless commissions from Yu Yue's side are precisely because of his hard work during this period.
Honestly speaking, this was much better than Ugetsu had expected - she thought it was still in the start-up phase and she still had to burn some investors' money (such as the start-up capital given to her by Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama), but she didn't expect that it had only been a short time and she had already achieved profitability.
Should we say that ninjas are truly a group that creates miracles?
After Senju Hashirama finished speaking, Uchiha Madara naturally also talked about his recent situation.
His main task is to complete the various scripts given by Ugetsu.
Including but not limited to 'leaking information and being kicked out of the organization', 'mingling among the newcomers and inciting them to do irrational things so that Miss Ugetsu can come and talk to them again', 'trying hard but always missing the chance to join so that you can only wander around anxiously and increase the anxiety and urgency of others'.
In short, the goal is to create all kinds of emotional problems for those who come so that they will finally serve the organization wholeheartedly.
Although Uchiha Madara is indeed not good at acting, he has the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan after all, so he can still complete these tasks smoothly.
In short, thanks to the internal and external efforts of the four of them, Yu Yue's work was carried out perfectly.
It was so perfect that Yu Yue even felt a little regretful that she had let them go back to the Impure World Reincarnation.
If you don't go back to the Pure Land but stay here...
Such a group of capable employees who don’t need to rest are...
Hey, do you think her business empire will really cover every corner of the world in one year?
Of course, it's just a thought.
"So what do we do next?"
It’s not that they are dissatisfied with their work. Unlike their brothers, these two are really willing to work hard for the peaceful world they have seen in their dreams.
Everything.
So let alone doing it for a while, even if they have to do this for the next half of their lives, it doesn’t matter.
But if we want peace, we have to bring in all the ninjas... at least most of them. The current speed may not be enough.
However, Yu Yue just replied with a "wait" with a smile, and let them continue to work.
The two left the room and followed Uchiha Shisui who led the way to the other side to collect the intelligence information needed for the next work.
During this process, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but ask:
"So, what exactly does Miss Yu Yue mean by 'waiting'..."
“It’s enough to maintain the status quo.”
The boy with curly hair, which was rare among the Uchiha, tilted his head.
"Is there nothing else we can do?"
Senju Hashirama said anxiously:
"We still have spare capacity. We can do anything if necessary."
"No need." Uchiha Shisui shook his head.
"If there is a need, Miss Ugetsu will arrange it. Otherwise, it is sufficient for the two adults not to do anything extra."
"but……"
Senju Hashirama still felt somewhat unwilling.
He felt that he could do more and better. Since he had the opportunity to contribute to peace, why not do more?
However, Uchiha Shisui just smiled and shook his head.
"As long as you two adults continue to maintain the status quo, you will understand after a while."
——After a while? How long will it take?
How can we make them understand?
Even though Yu Yue said many times that the ninjas needed to change their mindset and take the initiative.
Influenced by tradition, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama still couldn't understand why she not only didn't plan to let them take action when it should have been a good time to expand, but even reduced the number of places that could be joined (referring to those on a first-come, first-served basis every morning).
To them, it's simply a waste of time.
No matter how much they believed in Yu Yue in their hearts, when they saw those people who were anxious to join, and thought about the many ninja clans in the world who did not recognize them, they could not help but feel a little hesitant at midnight.
But it didn't last long.
Their doubts vanished with the latest development.
Because this time it is no longer a spy or messenger who comes to test.
Instead, the high-ranking officials or clan leaders who held power in the Ninja Clan came to visit. !
