The two children were cautiously counting the orders of the participants of the tasting conference.

Ugetsu is also busy with the statistics of contestant registration forms and the coordination of sponsor advertising spaces——

Except for the first year when Ugetsu had to travel around and talk to the ninjas about the benefits of "advertising spots", she never worried about the advertising spots in subsequent games.

Now it’s even to the point where bidding is required.

As a skilled contractor, Konoha is very familiar with this.

They didn't even need Yuyue to put in special preparations, they could have done all the preliminary preparations.

From venue preparation to participant arrangements.

The Yuyue Store only needs to come up with the list and rules, and finally prepare for acceptance and appointment to participate in the bidding.

That's called a painless, fully automatic operation.

It was obvious that this was not the first time, even the principle had to be broken into pieces and smashed by Yuyue to explain.

After listening, I have to hold two or three more meetings to confirm.

Now, they will even take the initiative to inquire about the progress of Uyuki Store's activities this year, and then take the initiative to take over all the work of guest reception, security protection and even the hosting of the auction.

And also learned to optimize activities and upgrade supplies when existing conditions permit.

For example, in the first year they were only given water, but in the second year they were provided with snacks and stationery such as paper and pens.

In the third year, they even produced a lot of souvenirs with the Konoha logo.

How about the adaptability of ninjas?

Most of the participants in the auction are suppliers of raw materials for various sweets.

Those who sell cane sugar, those who sell flour, those who sell molds.

There are also a few that are relatively irrelevant - such as fabric merchants and the like.

However, considering that many high-end dessert gift boxes are still packaged in cloth, it seems that it cannot be said to have nothing to do with it.

Let’s talk about the most special one among these advertisements.

That would also be called the ‘Sunagakure Village’.

That's right.

The representative of Sand Hidden Village also sat in the bidding room in an upright manner.

Although they are not the supplier of the dim sum ingredients.

But they are tourist attractions.

Tourist resorts also have various specialties, so it makes sense for them to buy an advertising space to promote themselves in a 'food event', right?

——That’s so reasonable.

Reasonable Konoha people's teeth hurt after hearing this.

No, we are all Ninja Village, why are you the only one showing off like this and doing so many tricks?

But what's even more annoying is that they really can't refute it.

After all, Sunagakure Village's tourism and sales of various products have really flourished in recent years.

Although no one has specific statistics on how much Sunagakure Village earns.

But seeing how much money they have spent in the past two years is enough to prove that they have really made a lot of money.

Otherwise, how could Sunagakure Village, which used to be eager to break a coin in half and use it, do such a thing?

Not to mention going out of their way to spend money on advertising space.

Not to mention that the past is gone, but it is now. Which ninja village has thought about this?

It's still just their Sunagakure Village.

Facing the complicated looks from the Konoha ninjas, the representative of Sunagakure Village - Yashamaru just smiled.

Even Ma Ji, who was accompanying him, had a very calm expression and seemed not to think there was anything wrong with this at all.

That's natural,

It was completely impossible to see that he had ever been uneasy because of doing business in Ninja Village in the past.

As a very traditional ninja, Maki had always believed that if the ninja village put a lot of energy and manpower into business, it would be putting the cart before the horse for ninja work.

On the contrary, it will put the Ninja Village into crisis.

It's just that he was nervous for a year, two years, three years... The crisis he imagined never came out.

On the contrary, everyone's income is getting better and better, and their lives are getting better and better.

Even the furniture in his house has been changed.

Then Maki calmed down - would there be any crisis to the Ninja Village?

Are other ninja villages doing as well as Sunagakure Village? Do they have the courage to resolutely transform Sunagakure Village?

of course not.

Sand Hidden Village is the best!

So when Sunagakure Village decided to participate in the auction, Ma Ji became the one who supported it the most firmly, and even volunteered to accompany Yashamaru to participate in the auction.

——It’s true that ‘as long as you live long enough, you can see anything’ in every sense of the word.

"Cough cough."

The Konoha ninja who was in charge of hosting took back his attention and cleared his throat.

"Welcome all guests to Konoha to participate in this 'Sugar Art Competition' advertising space auction. There are a total of twelve billboards participating in the auction. This is the corresponding location diagram." He said, raising his hand to gesture. On the huge schematic diagram behind him, there are a total of twelve blank spaces marked with different numbers around the site - these blank spaces are the advertising spaces for this bidding.

"The auction will still adopt the placard bidding mode. Each of you will have a number plate representing each guest. Each person is limited to one bid. After the auction officially begins, please raise your placard to bid."

After a brief discussion, the ninjas of Konoha looked at Ugetsu, who was sitting inconspicuously but could clearly observe the entire audience.

Seeing Yuyue nodded, he officially sounded the gong to start the bidding.

"The bidding for billboard No. 10 begins now, with a starting price of taels!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

Almost as soon as Ninja finished speaking, someone immediately made a bid - the owner of a small flour mill.

His initial target was positions 12 and 11, which were relatively poor.

After all, his family is a small workshop, and he does not have that much capital to compete with the really big businessmen.

After all, it is a big event that is famous in dessert shops all over the world, so I am satisfied just to have a seat.

With such a large scale, even if only 1% of people notice me and 10% of businessmen sign new contracts with me, I will still make money.

That's why he raised the price by half from the beginning.

But even if he added so much at once, he still did not scare away his competitors.

Many owners of small and medium-sized factories or chambers of commerce who had similar ideas to him also raised placards.

"One hundred and sixty thousand!"

"One hundred and seventy thousand!"

"One hundred and ninety thousand!"

Although the price raised each time is not much, the competition is still fierce.

In the end, the No. 12 billboard in the worst location was sold for more than three times the starting price.

Some people are happy, but others are naturally disappointed.

——Many people who were still taking chances and thinking that they might be able to catch something, now became serious.

The worst-located No. 12 was sold at this price.

What about the others?

In this way, starting with the competition on the twelfth, the businessmen are interested in what follows.

Billboards began to compete fiercely.

Of course not everyone is involved.

Those big businessmen and big factory bosses haven’t taken action yet - after all, each person is only allowed to purchase one advertising space, so how can they waste the opportunity on these small positions?

The advertising spots were taken out one by one, and finally when the host said ‘No. 5’, these people started to take action.

The price has also increased from one to twenty thousand, directly changing to 5, 8, and 10.

The atmosphere also became more intense and full of fire.

At this point, there is no chance for the small bosses to participate.

They can only look at the big bosses who continue to offer prices that they can only look up to, and secretly think: When can I do the same, it will be great.

There is no need to spend tens of thousands to compete for a corner advertising space.

Instead, he sits here and fights for the biggest and most obvious positions without changing his expression.

Eight or nine hundred thousand, more than one million.

Some people are unwilling to give up, while others are satisfied with winning the bid.

Finally, the auction reached its climax—the bidding for the absolutely core ‘No. 1’.

"This bidding starts at 100 million taels, and each increase must not be less than 5."

"!"

Almost as soon as Ninja finished speaking, someone immediately raised the price by half a million.

Although it is also added directly to half.

But this is completely different from the feeling given during the auction on the 12th.

No, I should say 'shocked'.

"One million and eight hundred thousand!"

As soon as the words of 1.5 million were spoken, someone immediately followed up.

"two millions!"

"Two million three hundred thousand!"

The participants in the auction simply felt that their eyesight was not enough.

They followed the bidding sounds and glanced at this and that.

It really didn't stop for a moment - there was no way, everyone was curious about who these big shots were who spent a lot of money.

The most eye-catching one among them is undoubtedly the Sand Hidden Village.

The representative of Sunagakure Village didn't even move.

It wasn't until Lot 1 that I bid directly as if I suddenly woke up.

He paid for the 1.5 million at the beginning.

After several subsequent quotations, Sunagakure Village did not open its mouth again until the price rose to 2.5 million.

They just opened their mouths again, and came three million - which really highlighted a 'rich man'.

Let’s compete together now

The big businessmen who were fighting were also surprised.

They all looked over.

One million is enough to commission an S-level mission. If you round up three million, that's three S-level missions.

Are all your Ninja villages so rich?

Just use the money from three S-level missions to buy one advertising space?

If the ninjas from other ninja villages heard this, they would definitely cry out for injustice.

They're not, they don't.

Three million is still a lot for them, and it is unlikely that they will spend it all just for one advertising space...

Besides, why would Ninja buy advertising space?

They are the only ones in Sand Hidden Village who don't play their cards according to rules, okay?

However, the 'spending money' in Sunagakure Village is not over yet.

No matter who increases the price, they will increase the price accordingly.

It's absolutely determined to win, and it doesn't matter how much money it costs.

——Sunagakure Village does have this idea.

As long as there are no particularly outrageous quotes: for example, someone directly quoted 1 million taels, then they are indeed very determined to win the No. advertising spot.

On the one hand, this is Ugetsu-sama's activity - Sunagakure Village, as a ninja village (self-proclaimed) that truly stands with Ugetsu-sama, how could it not support Ugetsu-sama's activities with real money?

On the other hand, I really want to pursue and promote it while it’s hot.

How good their Sand Hidden Village is now.

There were only a lot of tourism projects before, but many new projects were added later in the Chunin Examination.

They can't always bother Ugetsu-sama, they have to take the initiative themselves.

It just so happens that Ugetsu Store's annual sugar art competition is a good opportunity.

I don’t really care whether I can return to Sunagakure Village in one go through this promotion.

After all, they have a lot of income points, and with multi-line blooming, they can quickly get back the money they spent.

What is important is an attitude and an opportunity to show yourself.

We can completely transform ‘Sunagakure Village’! ’ If this impression remains in other people’s minds, they will not suffer any loss.

So Sunagakure Village dared to bid.

Until the competition with Shengsheng reached 4.5 million. The sugar tycoon who fought with Sunagakure Village to the end was finally defeated.

He shook his head. It wasn't like he didn't have money.

Just not necessary.

Four and a half million is not a small amount, and there are more than twelve billboards for advertising in the entire event.

If they continue to fight and get really angry, it will be bad for both sides.

Although he was unhappy about losing to Sunagakure Village, he was certainly a good person to be able to do such a big business.

So he half-jokingly said:

"I gave this opportunity to Sunagakure Village, so I have to give some cooperation opportunities, right?"

In one sentence, the original competition and ‘capital preservation’ turned into selling favors.

Yashamaru may not know that the other party is secretly changing the concept. But he immediately greeted him with a smile and continued following what the other person said:

"Of course, it is our honor to cooperate with you."

"We are just preparing the latest oasis camp plan - please pay attention to us then."

Although the main theme of Oasis Camp is a "return to nature", allowing people to experience the most authentic camping and starry sky in the desert.

But Sand Hidden Village is not stupid enough to actually let its guests eat and sleep in the open air.

At that time, tents and the like can be simpler, but food and drink will definitely have to be worked on.

So there is really no chance of cooperation.

When the sugar tycoon heard this, he felt relieved.

Satisfied on both sides.

The largest and most central advertising space, 'No. 1', has been located in the Hidden Sand Village.

With this result, not to mention Konoha, even Ugetsu was quite surprised.

She also didn't expect that Sunagakure Village would have the courage to directly compete for the No. 1 advertising spot.

I thought those No. 3 and No. 5 were about the same.

But she still supports Sunagakure's courage.

When it comes to business, although you shouldn’t spend money as a means of resentment, but picking at the money when it’s time to spend it is not the attitude you should have in order to become bigger and stronger.

After the auction ended, Yashamaru did not immediately pull Ugetsu to say anything about it.

After just a few brief greetings, I was ready to say goodbye and get ready.

——The billboards have been photographed, so naturally we have to prepare a good publicity so as not to waste them.

Well.

As a partner of Sunagakure Village, Ugetsu will certainly not be stingy with resources at this time:

"If necessary, I can contact Miss Xiaonan."

When it comes to "flawless" large-scale works, the first choice is of course Ms. Konan.

"Thank you so much."

Yashamaru immediately thanked him.

Rather than finding someone to do it themselves, it would of course be better for Ugetsu-sama to contact a professional.

The representative of Sunagakure Village left with satisfaction.

Other businessmen who had not yet left and noticed the conversation between the two also came up.

Their needs are also very simple - they are all people who have bought advertising space. As the host, Yuyue Store can't favor one thing over another.

"You will definitely not lose money, we just want a high-quality supplier."

The products at Ugetsu Store are famous for their high quality.

It's definitely better to find her than to find someone else.

Yuyue: "..."

She never expected that business would come to her.

Forget it, let's just leave it all to Xiaonan.

In line with the principle that if you do one, you will do it, but if you do two, there is no difference. Yuyue simply prepared to entrust all orders to Xiaonan.

In addition to the twelve billboards, there are also other large promotional materials. Anyone who needs them can entrust them all.

It doesn’t matter if you didn’t get an advertising spot through the auction, you can still advertise around the food tasting event.

And directly facing various dessert shops.

It is really a vertical sales, and both parties can communicate directly after seeing each other.

There is no need for a trip to visit, and there is no middleman to make the difference.

very perfect.

After the advertising space bidding is completed, the registration form of the contestants will begin to be tallied.

Compared with the first session, the number of participants has undoubtedly increased significantly.

The content and projects have also been increased a lot.

This time it is no longer just a promotional activity for self-entertainment. It is a truly world-class project.

The gold content of various rewards is naturally different from the past.

It's just that the number of entries for ninjas of Scorpion's size is relatively much smaller - not surprising.

After all, there were various misunderstandings in the first session. Those who went to Konoha Village and participated for various reasons were all carefully selected elites from each ninja village.

Even if a war breaks out, it can be a peaceful one.

Now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, the competition between the various ninja villages...oh, the competition is still there.

After all, we don’t have to be on the battlefield

Fight with real swords and guns.

Competitions for these superficial projects are actually more serious than in the past.

After all, this is also ‘technology’, isn’t it?

And if he could really defeat Konoha's ninjas on Konoha's territory, in front of Miss Ugetsu, it would be a kind of proof, a slap in the face to Konoha.

Therefore, these ninjas who came may not be good enough in terms of combat effectiveness.

But for sugar art - mainly sugar syrup and sugar painting, as well as the skills on hand, they are all second to none.

It was difficult for the ninjas to ask for the taste of "sweets". But when it comes to technology and styling, they are not afraid.

Of course, because of the existence of these ninjas, it is normal for the sugary portion of the competition to be divided into two parts: the ordinary group and the ninja group.

"There are so many people this year too."

Yuyue looked at the long registration form and pinched the bridge of her nose.

At this time, Uchiha Shisui stepped forward considerately and put his hands on her shoulders.

I don’t know whether it was because the acupuncture points were pressed or because the ninja had some magical power.

As soon as the boy exerted force with his hands, Yuyue immediately felt that his originally tense and stiff shoulders suddenly relaxed - and it didn't hurt at all.

"Yes." Uchiha Shishibo continued to wave, and his response was not slow. "I have already communicated with the Fourth Generation about the accommodation and placement. The Fourth Generation said that he will be responsible, so we don't have to worry."

After pressing his shoulders, his hands gently and deftly pinched the cervical spine.

It is also a painless but immediate method.

If it were put in the past, Yuyue would definitely be shocked.

This is much better than a store that buys a card worth RMB 100,000.

But now, she has become accustomed to it, so naturally she won't be so stunning anymore.

Even her mind is still on work,

It's certainly a good thing that Konoha helped arrange it.

Yuyue is also very satisfied.

but……

"Why don't we hold the qualifiers first next year?"

At first, because there were only those participants, she didn’t think about pre-selecting or not.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if there were only three or two participants in any place?

But now the total number of contestants from all over the country is 200... It is also time to hold the qualifiers, and only the winners from each region will come.

In this way, it will not only reduce the reception pressure here, but also ensure the excitement of the game.

Although people come to watch the game.

But only high-quality duels can capture people's hearts and souls.

The audition with so many people was somewhat awkward.

At this stage, because people in this world don’t have much entertainment, they can still support their popularity.

But after a while, when people’s pursuits increase, it won’t work.

"Qualifiers?"

"Yes, we will hold a competition locally first, and then select the top few to participate in the competition."

Ugetsu briefly talked about his idea.

"This is also good for the local area." After all, it is a large-scale event and can create more fame and profits.

“There’s also better participation for people who don’t have the luxury of traveling long distances to see the event.”

We still need to urge the nobles and famous people to quickly develop TV-related technologies.

Then people will be able to watch it on TV.

That's TV. It's such a waste to only watch three melons and two dates in total.

——But that will be next year.

This year, let’s do our best with the things at hand first.

"Tell the people who have been transferred to the preparation team to work hard these two days and finish it as soon as possible."

"learn."

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto on the other side finally realized the hard work.

Although the verification work does not require them to run around.

But for children who are full of energy but lack endurance and concentration, they sit in front of the table and face various words and numbers all day long. That's much more tiring than running around working.

On the first day, both of them felt that this was not a difficult task, and they vowed to ask Yakushi Kabuto to apologize and admit his mistake.

The next day, I felt a little guilty.

This...seems...real...

It's a little bit difficult.

Later, the two even started exchanging texts

Words are broken - as children of ninjas, although they have no problem reading and writing, they are still children after all. They face various shops with strange and complicated names.

It is inevitable that there will be some uncertainties.

At times like this, we need each other's help.

Only now did they understand why there was a thick dictionary on the table.

The other party had already anticipated the co-authorship.

The two of them continued to work while feeling mixed emotions.

If you encounter a complicated word that no one is sure about, just look it up specifically.

With this back and forth, time was naturally lost.

The efficiency is naturally getting lower and lower.

Especially when I think about the joy of twisting candy together a few days ago.

Choked up.

Uzumaki Naruto choked.

——Why on earth did he come here?

Although Uchiha Sasuke already wanted to give in.

But considering that this is a precious first-hand information about the store.

He held on again.

This is for my brother!

After thinking about Itachi's surprise when he saw the information he gave him, Uchiha Sasuke felt that he was motivated again.

If only my brother would smile and thank him again.

As the brainstorming progressed to the next stage, Uchiha Sasuke felt more motivated.

Even if the workload is doubled, he won't be there...

That's it.

If it were twice as likely, he would still be afraid.

What if adults had to be responsible for so much work every day?

Uchiha Sasuke shivered. I realized the horror of work at a young age.

The black-haired boy's hand stopped.

But he happened to be looked at by the young man opposite:

"Sasuke! You're lazy!"

Uzumaki Naruto was shocked.

We agreed that one person and half would do it together, how could you be lazy?

Uchiha Sasuke was furious:

"Who is lazy! I was just thinking!"

"You must have been thinking for too long, you must be lazy."

"It's all over! You idiot!"

——Children's emotions are really strange.

But being able to have such a lively quarrel proves that the work is still not saturated and there is still extra energy.

Do you want to do something?

Kabuto the pharmacist, who secretly took a look at their work, quietly closed the door and turned to leave.

The event is about to take place, and some people are too busy to move their feet.

There are also people who are stretching their backs and preparing to rest.

For example, Jiraiya wrote the last character on the manuscript paper.

After so many years of trials, he is no longer the person he used to be who felt pain when writing even one more word.

Now he can even write an entire chapter in one breath!

Oh my gosh, what an amazing improvement.

There is no such qualitative change in being promoted from chunin to jounin.

Jiraiya packed up his newly written chapter, opened the drawer, and stacked it on top of the other manuscripts he had written.

——Sure enough, writing "Intimate Love in Heaven" was such a joy.

Although this was something he had always wanted to write, before, Jiraiya always felt that he lacked inspiration and couldn't write it.

But after he took over the job of "Ninjutsu Girl" (tentative title) given by Ugetsu-san, he felt that writing "Intimate Paradise" was a flood of thoughts and it was extremely smooth.

Have no idea.

Meeting a cute tailed beast, being able to transform through the heart of chakra, etc... This kind of setting is completely beyond his ability to handle.

Let’s not talk about how cute tailed beasts are.

Just talking about the chakra heart and transformation...anyone can fight with clothes.

How could such a thing be possible just by changing clothes?

If I write it, I will be scolded to death.

Jiraiya really can't understand it, and he can't even understand it, so naturally he can't talk about writing stories that can impress other people.

Jiraiya shook his head and sighed.

Although Miss Ugetsu's decision has been proved to be correct before, this time... Miss Ugetsu, I'm afraid she's going to have a big fall.

How could something like this have an audience?

It would be better to write "Making Love in Heaven".

If he maintains this state for a while longer, he feels that he will be able to complete the first draft next month... no, maybe next month.

What exciting news.

Jiraiya felt that since he was so hardworking, he had to reward himself with a drink or two.

Just when he thought of this, he subconsciously looked around.

It was useless to see his mistress doing handwork, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Really...don't let yourself be psychologically affected.

Jiraiya touched the back of his head.

It was clear that no one was watching him at the setting stage, but Jiraiya always had visions of someone behind him from time to time.

Occasionally, it will be like this. As soon as my mind turns to the relaxing part, I subconsciously shrink my neck.

No.

Jiraiya stood up.

He is a dignified insect, Mo Xianren, how can he live such a useless life?

He, Jiraiya-sama, is going to have fun tonight!

Jiraiya doesn't just want to be happy by himself.

He is also planning to bring his old teammates together——

This old teammate is of course not Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is a cunning and annoying guy.

But when it comes to work, it is really serious. If you look for him to be happy, you are making yourself uncomfortable.

So Jiraiya's goal.

It was Tsunade who was always in tune with me when it came to eating, drinking and having fun.

I heard that guy is also very busy during this time.

If I go to her now and tell her to relax, it should be like giving help in a timely need.

Jiraiya went happily.

"Tsunade! Let's go have a drink together!"

Jiraiya opened the door to Tsunade's studio carelessly.

"Quick, tonight we-ah!"

However, before he could see the scene in the room clearly, he was faced with an iron fist.

Tsunade's fist hit Jiraiya's face, and then, as if in slow motion, a man as big as Jiraiya flew out spinning.

Tsunade's angry voice then sounded:

"Jiraiya! If the strain I finally cultivated dies! I will pay with your life!!!"

But before Tsunade could really kill Jiraiya, a shocking news came.

——That is, the order placed by Ugetsu Store from the Kingdom of Flowers was intercepted.
