Ugetsu certainly didn't expect to have Kakashi Hatake sort out all the registration forms alone.

It's just that he was the first one to meet him, and he was the first to catch the young man.

Later, Shisui, who was responsible for cleaning up and closing the store, and Itachi Uchiha, who had been procrastinating for a long time and finally finished teaching, came back and joined the tidying up team.

——The manpower is still insufficient.

Looking at the three people who turned pale, Yuyue couldn't help but sigh.

But it is impossible to recruit people at this time.

Who knows what the purpose of the workers recruited at this time when the competition is about to begin?

So I can only work hard and persevere until the day of the competition.

"Stay through it today and you'll be fine tomorrow."

They are all young people, so there is no big problem.

"But you said that yesterday and the day before yesterday."

Kakashi couldn't help but said in a hoarse voice.

"Isn't it because everyone was not very efficient yesterday that we didn't finish the work?"

She patted the table.

"Work is like this, it will never disappear, it will only keep piling up. Today's laziness is tomorrow's nightmare."

"Today's hard work is to have a better rest tomorrow."

Yuyue threw out bowl after bowl of chicken soup without thinking.

——But we were not lazy yesterday.

Hatake Kakashi was confused.

However, when he looked to his left and then to his right, he only saw two Uchihas with expressions full of shame. He couldn't help but be startled.

...Could it be that he is really too lazy?

For the first time in his life, the silver-haired boy questioned his ability and attitude at work.

Is it really because he hasn't come back to do ordinary work for too long, so he can no longer keep up with the pace of work in the village?

The boy's self-doubt can be answered, but the rainy moon on the other side continues.

"So everyone, try your best, and I'll treat you all to a big dinner when the competition is over."

Ugetsu, who was fully in working mode, began to skillfully hang carrots.

If you want people to move, you need a bait that is visible and can be obtained with hard work.

"Really? Can barbecue be used too?"

Uchiha Shisui cooperated very well and endured the sting in his throat and echoed.

A qualified subordinate will never leave his boss alone. So even though his throat hurt, Uchiha Shisui still responded proactively.

"No problem at all."

Yuyue patted her chest and assured, and very considerately provided tea and drinks for the three people who worked overtime.

Of course, the three people responsible for carrying it were Shisui.

Ugetsu took the time to start drawing up the schedule.

Originally, Ugetsu only arranged one morning.

But with the addition of Uchiha, the number of applicants increased tremendously. Not to mention finishing it in one morning, it seems that even completing the pre-selection will be a problem.

In addition, it is necessary to increase security, maintain order, guide the audience, and award awards.

Just relying on the four of them would definitely not be enough.

no solution anymore.

Ugetsu put down the pen, took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Please bring in foreign aid.

The first large-scale event, the first opportunity, must come to a perfect conclusion.

Just like that, Ugetsu knocked on the door of the Hokage's office as a matter of course.

"Are you saying that you want us to send someone to be responsible for maintaining order and security?"

The Third Hokage looked at the girl standing in front of him with a confused expression.

"Yes, although it is an event in our store, it is also a big event that is popular all over Konoha and even attracts external tourists. As the absolute core of Konoha Village, how can the Hokage and all the ninjas not participate in it. "

Seeing the Hokage frowning thoughtfully, Ugetsu quickly worked harder:

"I'm still young, so it's inevitable that there will be things that I don't think about enough and I can't predict. If something goes wrong at the event, our store's problems will be small, everyone in Konoha Village will have problems, and Konoha's ninjas will lose face. That’s a big accident.”

"This……"

In fact, the Third Hokage didn't quite understand why a store's problems were related to 'Konoha's face'. But seeing the serious look on her face when she said it, he couldn't help but think along her train of thought.

As Hokage, he must protect everyone in the village.

As a member of the village, Miss Ugetsu is of course within the scope of this protection. So the 'sugar match' she organized, with contestants all over Konoha and even outsiders, was of course also their responsibility.

If something goes wrong, someone is injured or property is lost, then Konoha and the ninjas are indeed involved - after all, this is Konoha Village, the headquarters of Konoha ninjas.

Can they just watch something like this happen and not care?

Of course not.

Ugetsu said, and the Third Hokage nodded.

She opens her mouth to Konoha and shuts her mouth to ninja.

Each one of them is truly worrying and thinking about Konoha.

This undoubtedly hit the Third Hokage's heart directly.

That makes sense!

That's right! no problem!

That's it!

His eyes also changed from being tolerant and a little confused at the beginning to unshakable determination.

That's right, although it's just an activity initiated by Ms. Ugetsu's store. But without everyone's efforts, without the prosperous and peaceful Konoha that people jointly created, it would not be possible.

It is both Ugetsu-san's event and Konoha's event.

Since it was a Konoha event, of course they had the responsibility to provide help. Yes, this is their responsibility and must be taken care of.

Not only must they help, but they must also do their best to maintain it so that the villagers and foreign guests can see that Konoha has not been weakened by the impact of the war.

They Konoha is still strong and has the ability to protect everything in the village!

As for the reward? What reward?

It’s already said to be their responsibility, how can they still talk about remuneration?

Isn't this a matter of course?

So Ugetsu got the support of Konoha's top ninjas, headed by the Third Hokage, without spending a penny.

After a brief silence, the Third Hokage stood up:

"I understand."

His eyes, which became increasingly cloudy as he grew older, looked straight at Yuyue. There was seriousness, sadness, and a bit of relief in his eyes.

"Konoha is prosperous... There are young people like you working hard for Konoha and fighting for the village. As the Hokage, I am really happy. Our village will definitely come out of the war and become better."

He had an expression on his face that said, 'I'm optimistic about you, you are the new generation of Konoha'.

Yuyue:......

No need to, I just want to use my labor force for free.

Not really.

"How's it going? How is work?"

Minato Namikaze asked with a smile as he finally caught his student and went home.

However, what greeted him was just a dead-eye look from the student.

Kakashi was really tired and could not speak.

Even saying 'um' feels like it's consuming your life.

Seeing his beloved student like this, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but blink. Then he tried it again.

"In a bad mood? Don't know what to say?"

The only reason he didn't think of was that he was tired.

After all, even during the non-stop fighting in the war, Kakashi never failed to respond.

It seems that it is impossible not to say it.

Hatake Kakashi sighed and made a swallowing motion, but as soon as he spoke, his hoarse voice betrayed his condition.

"……no."

"Kakashi, how does your voice sound?"

"...I'm just a little tired."

It’s said to be ‘a bit’, but the sound doesn’t sound like ‘a bit’ at all.

Namikaze Minato looked at his student with concern.

"What happened?" He thought for a moment and then said suddenly. "Did you give yourself extra training after work?"

“It’s good to work hard, but going too far will only hurt yourself.”

All he could think of was that Kakashi wanted to train like he did in the past, day and night.

Of course it's not a bad thing to want to become stronger and work hard for it, but to hurt your body is to put the cart before the horse.

However, his words not only failed to touch Kakashi, but made him want to communicate even less.

Still doing extra training.

He's too busy with work, okay?

He could barely remember the last time he touched a shuriken.

Kakashi never thought such a day would come.

He didn't die because of training or going to the battlefield, but almost lost half his life in a peaceful village.

Thinking of this, Kakashi lost the desire to continue chatting.

"It's okay, I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Finally, he only made it to nine o'clock in the evening today. He had to go back to bed early to cultivate his health. Otherwise, what would he do if he couldn't get up early to go to work tomorrow?

...that's okay too.

Minato Namikaze twitched his lips as he watched Kakashi leave.

I felt a little dazed for a moment.

But it's always a good thing to see Kakashi throwing tantrums like an ordinary child.

As the successor of the Hokage who was favored by the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze certainly knew that she went to the Third Hokage to ask for someone.

Of course he would not object to this kind of thing, and was even prepared to strongly support it, so he thought it would be a good time to find out about the situation from Kakashi and see how he is doing recently.

did not expect……

Ms. Ugetsu is really... amazing.

Whenever Namikaze Minato thinks that Miss Ugetsu is already very powerful, she will show an even more amazing side.

A small shop and a small product can make her business so prosperous. Everything is getting better. The pain of war will not affect this small shop.

Namikaze Minato felt more and more that he made the right decision by sending Kakashi there.

You may be able to protect Konoha by simply doing ninja tasks or entering the ANBU, but you will never have such an experience.

Namikaze Minato was still unclear about the impact of this activity on Konoha, but he believed that such experience and experience must be a very rare and precious memory for the person 'Hatake Kakashi'.

He hopes his students can escape the haze and pain and embrace more.

You don't have to be a 'Hero of Konoha'.

There is no need to leave famous military exploits and fame in the history of ninjas.

Although those are the highest pursuits of a ninja, they are not the goals he sets for his students as a teacher.

To have a wonderful and rich life, even a ninja would be happy and contented.

This is his greatest expectation for students as a teacher.

Namikaze Minato looked up at the bright moon and smiled.

Well, he has to work harder.

You can't be a teacher, why don't you work harder as a student?

He walked on the moonlight and walked home.

At the same time, on another street shrouded in moonlight, Uchiha Itachi, who was walking home, also met a group of people.
