If you let her choose, she will inevitably have to face the decision of who to choose and who not to choose.

The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, and she couldn't bear to make anyone sad.

It would be better to decide by drawing lots directly.

This is probably the most fair and just result.

After all, luck is something you can’t blame others for.

To prevent someone from cheating through the minutiae.

Although Ugetsu made the draw, it was Uchiha Shisui who was responsible for monitoring the draw.

The boy did not put all the lottery papers into a box for everyone to draw like a normal lottery.

——Because this behavior is not 100% confidential to the ninjas.

If the guarantee is not complete, someone will be able to figure out the problem through subtle differences, or secretly use secret techniques to cheat.

In order to avoid this situation.

All the lots were rolled into vertical strips and held in his hand.

"You can only draw it once. If two people choose the same plant, the one who encounters it first counts."

At first, the Uchiha were a little happy when they saw that Uchiha Shisui was in charge.

After all, we are all of the same race, what if?

Besides, they did this to help Miss Ugetsu, so it's not a bad thing.

But seeing Uchiha Shisui's smile, the Uchiha fell silent.

Although this guy Shisui usually seems easy to talk to, when he really makes up his mind, what others say is useless.

Even if you are from the same clan, they will never give you face.

This time it really just depends on luck.

People looked at each other and invariably saw competition in each other's eyes.

After all, at this time, they are no longer just companions, but rivals competing for the same job!

It’s competition for jobs!

Drawing lots will certainly not take much time.

So the results came out quickly——

Naturally, some people are happy and some are worried.

"You are our Uchiha representative!"

The two Uchiha winners were surrounded in the middle.

"Please rest assured, clan members, I will definitely clean up all the filth that hinders Miss Yuyue."

...Although this matter may have nothing to do with cleaning.

But it’s not a big problem, as long as you know what it means.

Another Uchiha girl also patted her chest and said:

"Definitely! The disharmonious factors must be corrected."

This statement also...

But they all received her determination!

That’s right, no problem!

On the other side, Metkai and Shiro, who had won the lottery, were also surrounded by the employees of Ugetsu Store.

"You must give credit to Ugetsu Store!"

——Although in principle, everyone who comes can be regarded as an employee of Ugetsu Store.

But after all, some people leave their jobs and some work part-time.

In the eyes of people who have been working at Ugetsu Shoten for a long time, those people cannot be regarded as Ugetsu Shoten people with upright roots.

So losing to them or something like that is absolutely not allowed.

"give it to me!"

Metkai raised his thumb in the air.

Bai on the side also nodded.

"We will not lose the face of Ugetsu Store."

Some people are happy, and naturally some people are sad.

"...Why is it you?"

Shiranui Genma looked at Hatake Kakashi and Aburame Ryoma who were drawn in front of him, and his whole body felt bad.

"Yeah...I want to ask too."

It's not that Kakashi Hatake hates work.

It's just that he doesn't have to do the job in front of him, nor does it mean that no one wants to do it.

...Why did he just hit him?

This kind of comparative work is so boring.

After working hard for a long time, apart from satisfying your vanity and gaining some meaningless false honors, you can only get endless emptiness and physical exhaustion. What's there to fight for?

Isn’t it happy to say ‘Yeah, yeah, okay’, ‘Okay, okay’, ‘It’s all okay’?

The silver-haired boy put on his dead eyes on the spot.

Aburame Ryoma, as the oldest person present, cleared her throat:

"Okay, we are ninjas. Now that the results are out, don't have any complaints."

He was talking, but he was shaking his head in his heart.

Things are really getting better now.

The juniors actually started to get upset over this trivial matter.

At that time, there was no reason for you to be emotional, the mission was the mission.

If I give it to you, I give it to you. If I don’t give it to you, there is a reason. Just shut up and execute.

"...Or Aburame-sama, you want me to go?"

Shiranui Genma had a new idea.

"Aburame-sama, as the most senior person, you should be here to protect Miss Ugetsu!"

Ryoma Aburame: ...I hear you are talking nonsense.

This kind of opportunity to take action... No, he meant, how could he hand over this kind of task that was entrusted to him?

Shiranui Genma curled his lips.

I had to give up this alternative idea angrily.

Hatake Kakashi: "..."

Why don't you ask me?

Maybe having only one eye wasn't powerful enough. No matter how hard he tried, Shiranui Genma had no intention of asking him.

Hatake Kakashi: It’s no wonder you can only stay behind.

I couldn't find the right person to change my shift, so it was surprising that I could find someone to change my shift!

Dazuna sat on the chair and sighed.

The Country of Waves is a small and poor country. Thanks to the growth of trade, everyone's life has finally begun to improve. However, the good times do not last long. People are about to return to poverty because of Cardo... even worse than before. Worse days are to come.

How could this not make Dazna, a native born and raised, anxious?

But even if he knew there would be such a result, there was nothing he could do.

After all, he is just an ordinary bridge master.

Cardo, on the other hand, is the president of a large shipping company. He is as rich as any other country - let alone a small and inconspicuous country like the Country of Waves.

Even if he goes to the five major countries, he can still be on an equal footing with the great nobles.

...And this is just his apparent identity.

Not to mention the evil forces and violent groups he controls.

"……Ugh."

Just when Tatsuna was so worried that his hair fell out.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside and his daughter's voice.

"This is my home."

"Oh, thank you so much. We were worried about having no place to stay - such a heavy rain, we are really saved."

Then came the voice of a young girl.

"No, Miss Yuyue, you also helped me."

While he was talking, Dazna saw his daughter walking in.

"Ah, Dad, you are at home."

"Tsunami, come back...what happened to you!?"

Seeing the girl's embarrassment, Dazna quickly stood up and greeted her, swallowing back all the questions he originally wanted to ask.

"What happened? What happened?"

"Ah..." Tsunami noticed that she was in a mess. She blushed when she thought that she was just like this when she walked with Miss Ugetsu and others.

"Tsunami?"

"No, it's okay... I just met Cardo's minions..."

"What! How did you meet those people! Are you not injured?"

Dazuna complained as he looked around, forgetting to pay attention to the people who came in behind him.

"What the hell is that guy Kesha doing!"

"Kesha went to find someone else...ah, don't talk about me."

Tsunami quickly shook herself off from her father's confused concern.

"These are Ms. Ugetsu and Mr. Shisui...and their clerks."

She hurried

Introduce a few people around you.

"They are the ones who helped us."

Only then did Dazna raise his head and look at the few people.

They say they are ladies and gentlemen, but they are still teenagers.

Dazna looked at the people behind him.

A boy with an eyepatch.

A boy and girl with black hair and black eyes...

Oh, and there’s one who looks like a complete kid.

His eyes slid towards the child hidden in the crowd.

The black-haired child had an indistinguishable androgynous appearance, and Dazna couldn't even tell his gender for a moment.

The only one who looked like a serious adult was a man hiding his face in a hood.

The cloak itself was wrapped tightly, and the other party also wore sunglasses, making it even harder to see his expression.

...To be honest, this group of young and beautiful boys and girls plus a hooded man looks suspicious no matter how you look at it.

But no matter what, he was the one who helped his daughter.

"Thank you for helping my daughter."

Dazna thanked him first, and then said in confusion:

"Excuse me, are you..."

"Ah, I am the owner of a small shop."

The leading girl was the first to speak and replied:

"This time I was invited by my partner to do market research in the Kingdom of Water. I heard that it is very convenient to go to the Kingdom of Water from the Kingdom of Waves, so I wanted to take a boat to the Kingdom of Water from here."

The girl is smiling, and although she does not have a stunning appearance, her friendly and generous look is very contagious and it is easy for people to like her.

"This is my assistant Shisui, and my shop assistants."

"Hello."

The young man who was introduced followed him and bowed.

"Because the contact person I was looking for suddenly couldn't be reached, I'm really grateful for Miss Tsunami's help."

"...Nowhere, you helped my daughter. This is what you should do."

He said a little worried.

"You didn't have any conflict with Kado's people, did you?"

"No, there are only a few people, even if you..."

As soon as one of them opened his mouth, his mouth was covered by his companions around him.

"We just negotiated... maybe the other party saw that there were a lot of us and left."

A girl with black hair and eyes said with a smile, but the strength of her hands...

"He will suffocate if he does this."

Seeing the girl covering the mouth and nose of the boy who spoke earlier with her hands, her face turning purple, she felt like... something bad was going to happen.

"Ah, it's okay. He is just practicing holding his breath."

The girl said this, but her grip on her hand relaxed.

"In short, we have no conflict...but who is this Cardo?"

The leading girl asked curiously.

Doesn't really seem to know what's going on.

Dazuna sighed upon seeing this.

"You really don't know..."

"what do you know?"

"...It's a long story."

Dazna sighed and waved people towards the living room.

The living room of an old-style single-family house is so large that it can accommodate even people coming in.

Seeing this, Tsunami turned around to change clothes and prepare tea.

After all, he was the one who helped him, so how could he let his benefactors just sit there?

"Let me help too."

The boy named Shisui raised his hand.

“How can we make guests work?”

"It doesn't matter, I'm quite good at doing this - besides, it would be faster if two people do it, right?"

The curly-haired boy said with a harmless smile.

"Miss Tsunami, just tell me where the kitchen is."

Tsunami was instantly convinced.

After all, she still had to change her clothes, which would take up a lot of time.

"I'll take you."

Youth Station

Get up.

"Then Miss Yuyue, I'll come as soon as I go."

"Brother Shisui, go ahead. Miss Ugetsu is with me."

As soon as the young man left, he saw the youngest child sitting over and then showing a bright and sweet smile to the young man who left.

"..."

It always feels weird.

Dazna looked at this and that, feeling that something was not quite right, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"So? What's going on with Cardo?"

"Cado..."

Tazuna fell into memories, and through his words, the girl, Ugetsu and others, also learned more about what happened in the Land of Waves.

Cardo, who is ostensibly the president of the shipping company, controls the country of waves, which is equivalent to controlling the maritime transportation in this area.

Then he used his various resources and transportation convenience to smuggle drugs and contraband.

The Country of Waves was the transit point he chose.

It is close to the Kingdom of Fire and Thunder on one side and leads to the sea on the other. It is also convenient to go to the Kingdom of Water and other coastal countries.

...However, for the country of Waves, which relies on the sea and imports various food supplies, this is a disaster.

Whether the ship can leave the port depends on whether Kaduotong agrees.

The seafood you bring back or the things you bring back also depend on Kado’s intentions.

If there are too many cards, people will lose all their hard work.

Most of the prices and resources in the Land of Waves are controlled by Kado. He said that if prices increase, people will have no choice but to bite the bullet and pay high prices to buy things that are originally very cheap.

"...Anyway, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

Dazna shook his head.

"If you go to the Kingdom of Water, quickly find another place...don't let Cardo find you."

This group of brightly dressed children look like fat sheep no matter how you look at them.

Cardo will definitely not give up on these people.

Maybe the families of these children will spend money to redeem them...but the prerequisite is that the children are alive.

That's right, Tatsuna mistook Ugetsu and the others as the children of a merchant family and came out to practice.

After all, they all look young and innocent, and have not seen much of the world.

To be able to let such a group of children come out with peace of mind can only be said to be because the family has a strong family background and does not care about profits and losses. It just wants to let the children gain experience.

As he was thinking this, his eyes caught a glimpse of the hooded man who had been staying silently at the back.

...The only adult is probably the guard or ninja hired by the family.

Thinking of this, Dazna couldn't help but look at the only 'adult' and shook his head.

Why can't this person who is a bodyguard be more aware of the crisis?

The Aburame Ryoma, who was inexplicably shown to be an extension of her hatred of steel, said:...?

Why do you always feel that this old man has a problem with me?

"Anyway, everyone from Cardo is here now?"

After hearing what Dazna said, the girl who had previously covered her mouth lit up.

"Yes, he brought all his violent groups here not long ago... there must be more than three hundred people."

"There are more than three hundred!" More than three hundred! This should be worth a few more points!

The girl's voice became louder, and her eyes seemed to light up.

Although Dazuna felt that the other party's behavior was a bit strange, she was very surprised after all. She just thought that she was shocked that there were so many bad people here.

So he continued with a serious tone:

"So you'd better take a rest and quickly change the route."

Dazuna and other people from the Kingdom of Waves are unable to protect themselves, so there is only so much they can do to help these outsiders.

"That's really nice... No, I mean, it sounds terrible."

Another young man also said quickly.

After finishing speaking, he quickly looked at Yuyue:

"Miss Yuyue, since this is the case, why not us..."

Get started now.

The young man made a secret gesture of 'cutting'.

Because the posture is very hidden, plus it is blocked by the people around you. Dazna didn't notice this.

He just thought that the boy was scared and wanted to leave quickly.

So he quickly followed: "That's right, if you know you're scared, just leave quickly."

"It's not that I don't want to keep you, but it's too dangerous for you to be here."

Yuyue looked around at the expectant eyes, and then nodded.

"Well, it's a bit dangerous."

It's just not from my side.

"That's right, especially if you have children with you."

He looked at the youngest child present, and in order to make these innocent young masters and ladies truly aware of the threat, he even added threats.

"Especially children like this are the easiest targets for bad guys."

Bai, who was suddenly brought out to talk, blinked.

Ah this.

Ugetsu also looked at the beautiful and indistinguishable Shiro.

Although he looks weak, helpless and innocent.

But really speaking...

I can probably hit you three times.

After all, it was Shisui who trained him, and his sparring partners were also Metkai and Uchiha Itachi.

...There should be no problem.

Just when Tatsuna was about to say something, the curly-haired boy and Tsunami suddenly walked in carrying trays.

"It's been a long wait. Let's take a rest."

Quite exquisite snacks were placed on a simple tray.

The tea in the cup also looks high-end.

——Anyway, it’s not something that should appear in the current Wave Country and my own home.

Dazna became more certain of his guess.

They were said to be businessmen who went on an inspection tour, but they were actually young men and ladies out for fun.

As for the 'partners' of the Water Kingdom, they should be the connections of the elders in the family.

It just doesn’t seem very reliable.

Otherwise, why would people be allowed to leave such a turbulent and unsafe place as the Country of Waves?

"Here, this belongs to Miss Ugetsu."

The boy said, placing the largest portion of snacks and the sweet-smelling tea in front of the leading girl.

The look of him never getting tired of fine food made Dazna sigh even more.

But Yuyue and the boy who left briefly began to communicate quietly.

"Did you find out anything?"

"I probably know the location of Cardo's base camp."

Uchiha Shisui responded in a low voice while helping Ugetsu place the refreshments.

That's right, the reason why Uchiha Shisui left was of course not just to prepare refreshments (although it was one of the reasons), he also left to open up information.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket.

Of course, information cannot be obtained from just one place.

"We also got information that there are more than 300 people here."

"That's so... hmm? Who's there?"

The young man turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction of the door.

People followed his gaze and saw a little boy wearing a hat looking at them curiously.

"Inari!" Tsunami hurried over to greet him, saying as he walked. "I'm sorry, this is my son, his name is Inari - Inari, please say hello to everyone."

The boy said hello as his mother asked, and then asked curiously:

"Are your brothers and sisters also travelers like Chikawa?"

"Inari!"

Hearing the child's abrupt words, Tsunami quickly apologized.

"Sorry, this kid really likes "Young Heroes", so..."

"It doesn't matter, I also like the benefits from that book."

Ugetsu said with a smile.

"Do you like Chikuwa too?"

"Of course! That's a hero! Just like dad!"

Hearing someone talk about his favorite character, Inari immediately became lively and ran to Ugetsu.

"Sister, do you also like Chikuwa the most?"

"As for me, I like all the main characters equally." After all, they are all her cash cows.

Hearing Yuyue's words, the boy immediately showed a child's unique indifferent expression that he didn't know how to hide.

——The hero I like so much, how could you not be my favorite?

You and I are not the same group!

Although it was rare for Sun Tzu to meet someone with whom he could talk to each other, Dazna quickly brought up the past:

"Get some rest and leave quickly."

Noticing that people were looking at him, he could only sigh helplessly.

"It's really not to intimidate or look down on you, but Cardo is really not an ordinary person - let alone you, even if the owner of Ugetsu Store comes, he will still have to suffer... What's wrong?"

Noticing that people had weird expressions just after he finished speaking, Dazna raised an eyebrow.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"...No, nothing."

Hatake Kakashi responded while looking at Ugetsu who looked as if nothing had happened.

As expected of Miss Ugetsu, even if someone mentions her own affairs to her face, she can still respond without changing her expression or heartbeat, as if the topic really has nothing to do with her.

only……

Not to mention that the person involved brought so many people here.

Even if there weren't so many people, there wouldn't be this employee trip.

Kakashi Hatake doesn't think Miss Ugetsu will suffer in the confrontation with Cardo.

After all, that was Miss Ugetsu.

Miss Ugetsu is the one who sells people and they still have to count the money to her.

Is it difficult to deal with the shadow of a village? Are Uchiha difficult to deal with?

All of them are extremely tricky, and they are all being manipulated by Ms. Ugetsu?

The Kage have all become Miss Ugetsu's partners.

Mizukage wanted to invite Miss Ugetsu over. Not only did he have to bring the nobles along with him, but he also had to take on the responsibility of hosting the entire Ugetsu store staff.

Even if you don’t talk about the shadow. Just talking about Uchiha... Such a difficult clan, Miss Ugetsu can make people behave like toy cats... Look at all the Uchiha who are grateful to Miss Ugetsu.

Just one card... He felt that it might not be enough.

If you don't make someone wear their pants, it's because Miss Ugetsu is in a good mood and shows mercy.

"Kakashi, why do I feel like you are thinking about something very rude?"

Ugetsu narrowed his eyes when he noticed that Hatake Kakashi was looking at him without looking away.

"……how could be."

Hatake Kakashi immediately withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance.

"Ah, this snack tastes really good."

Even the topic was changed.

"Really?"

"Really, Miss Ugetsu is so good, how can anyone say something bad about Miss Ugetsu?"

"But I didn't say I was thinking of something bad, I just said it was rude."

It's over.

Hatake Kakashi turned green.

Isn't he just asking for it?

Others noticed the small movement here and looked over - but no one tried to rescue Hatake Kakashi.

Just kidding, if Miss Ugetsu is the one questioning him, it must be because he did something wrong.

"This...is..."

Just as Hatake Kakashi was racking his brains to think of a solution, he was saved by the sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the sound of footsteps, and then they saw a man who was soaked in the rain rushing in with a face full of panic and anxiety.

“Something bad is going to happen!!!”

His voice changed due to nervousness and panic.

"Kesa..."

"What happened to Kesha?"

Tsunami suddenly became anxious.

"Kesha...Kesha was captured by Cardo!"

The man was almost crying.

"And... and, he said that he 'launched terrorist activities' and had already dragged people to the execution ground!"
