Amidst the cries of "If you don't buy, you will lose your blood" and "If you don't buy, you will make a mistake of hundreds of millions."

One by one, the spies lost themselves.

Humans are such easily influenced creatures.

However, these tourists are not the only ones going to the Kingdom of Water.

There are also organized groups, large and small, headed by businessmen from various countries.

In addition to advertising, selling goods, and purchasing special new products from Uyuki Store, their main purpose is to support them.

The Chuunin Examination in Sunagakure Village has opened up a new model of 'support' that can be participated by all people. People who have already tasted the fun have spontaneously started preparations this time without waiting for publicity.

Especially because last time there were fewer people coming due to various reasons, this time they started to attract people early.

Apart from anything else, we cannot lose in terms of numbers and strength.

Compared with bulk tourists, they are not only larger in number and more organized, but also have clearer goals.

"We must be the loudest this time!"

"It's the largest number of people!"

"Last time, those people from Earth Kingdom took advantage of the close distance and brought many people with them. This time I will see what they say."

"Come on, brothers! It's time to show our strength!"

——The atmosphere was ignited.

What was more irritating than the atmosphere was the rush to Yuyue store, or to be precise, the rush to Xiaonan's order.

Xiaonan:?

After finally finishing the arrangements for the Chunin Exam (advertising, flyers, etc.), she thought she could wait to get the money and buy the peripherals of "Ninja Girls".

Who would have thought that before I had time to say goodbye, the orders would come in one after another.

"This is an order from the Kingdom of Thunder group."

"There are also an additional 300 items from the Kingdom of Wind group."

"The Country of Grass has also placed an order, and they also want a big banner."

"In addition, Sunagakure Village hopes to provide customized services. They said money is not an issue."

As the orders fell in front of her one by one, Xiaonan was about to turn to stone.

But seeing that if she didn't stop the order, it seemed like the orders would continue endlessly, she still managed to regain her sense.

After all, if we don't stop, the construction period will be at least two months away.

But the Chuunin Exam is just around the corner, no, more importantly, the theme store of "Ninja Girls" is coming to an end.

How could she still go to the store if she spent all her time working?

"and many more!"

Thinking of this, she quickly stopped.

"How come there are so many?"

She actually doesn't quite understand.

Although almost all of these support items were made by her before.

But it's not like now, where all the bees are coming, right?

They are all paper products. In fact, it is the same as asking other stores to make them, right?

There are also various banners, which can also be made of cloth or wooden boards, right?

"Oh, this one."

After listening to Xiaonan's question, Ugetsu explained thoughtfully.

“Of course, because we are the ‘official partner’, the support items we produce are more authoritative.”

"In particular, we have cooperation with the Ninja Village that holds the Chunin Exams. Part of the sales of the support products will be directly given to the winners of the Chunin Exams."

——This is the so-called ‘genuine’.

Although this world has not yet formed a trend of brand recognition except for Ninja Village.

However, the strong development of Ugetsu Store in recent years and its cooperation with Ninja Village have made it difficult for imitation and counterfeit goods to survive, so people still have a high degree of recognition for Ugetsu Store.

Besides, they came here to support the Chunin Exams. How could they not buy products from the Ugetsu Store that 'sponsored' the Chunin Exams, but buy products from other shoddy small workshops?

What everyone wants is not just a support product, they want ‘official certification’ and ‘brand’.

Therefore, Ugetsu Store’s products are not just ‘support items’

, but ‘face’.

Otherwise, when the time comes, everyone will bring out their support items together, and everyone else will be the 'genuine' ones from Ugetsu Store, while I will be the only one with a bunch of handicrafts and products from unknown shops.

Wouldn't that be a shame and be thrown to the end of the world?

From now on, you won’t be able to raise your head and show your face when greeting people, okay?

It’s my intention to make it myself, but if I want the cards to look good, of course they have to be from Ugetsu Store!

"...Probably that's it."

Yuyue finished the explanation, took the warm water handed over by the gold medal assistant and took a sip.

Xiaonan: I understand, but I don’t fully understand.

Although she is young, the girl who has spent most of her life hiding and operating in secret has no idea what these people are competing for.

It's a good thing to make more money.

But there are cheaper options, so why not use them?

"Hmm...for example, if someone is holding a peripheral product of "The Girl Who Holds Back" that is not produced by Ugetsu Store, what would you think?"

"Isn't it produced by Ugetsu Store? That's not merchandise at all."

After blurting out the answer, Xiaonan covered her mouth.

She obviously hid the fact that she was a fan of "Ninja Girls" very well.

Why this time...

No, not right.

Xiaonan's face turned slightly red, and then she noticed Uyuki's smiling gaze, looking at her hand.

hand……?

No, it's the book in my hand.

Konan followed Ugetsu's line of sight and noticed a bookmark for "Ninja Girl" tucked inside the notebook.

Although almost all the items in Ugetsu Store are made by Konan.

But she had never used any of them in the past, only this time.

"I didn't withhold this, I bought it."

However, even if his "little hobby" was exposed, Xiaonan's first reaction was not to explain his hobby, but to clarify that he had not enriched his own pockets and used his identity as a producer to withhold goods privately.

Besides, of course you have to queue up and spend money to buy the surrounding items.

Taken directly from the workshop, it has no soul at all.

"Of course, I never doubted that."

Ugetsu responded quickly.

——This is our own gold medal manufacturer, which is almost the same as a money printing machine.

I definitely can't embarrass her.

"I'm just giving you an example."

Xiaonan understood this time.

Genuine products really have a soul and are completely different from the crude imitations made by small workshops just to make money.

She realized.

The status of these support items in the hearts of the participants is just like that of "Ninja Girl" herself...

It was because I was too superficial before.

That’s not ‘spending money indiscriminately’, but pursuit and belief.

Xiaonan's face turned serious and she said solemnly: "I understand, Miss Yuyue, I will definitely complete these orders."

It only lasts for three to five days without sleeping and uses ten or eight paper avatars to start work at the same time, so it's not a big problem.

Yuyue smiled: "Then it's all thanks to you."

Ugetsu didn't know what made Konan look so serious.

But she knew that as long as the other party agreed, even if the sky fell and the earth fell, the other party would definitely complete the work with quality and quantity.

This is enough.

But she was also a little curious.

"Who does Miss Konan like from Ninja Girls?"

Even a rational and calm woman like Miss Xiaonan can contribute, she must remember this success factor.

Xiaonan was stunned for a moment.

"Ritsuko...no, it's still Sakura after all."

She changed her words mid-sentence.

"Sakura... looks a lot like a friend of mine."

Just talking about her own preferences, of course Ritsuko.

When she disobeyed the order of the organization and not only did not kill Yatsura and Yayoi, but instead let them go, what Ritsuko said to the scientist who created her is still shocking to this day.

Holding her.

"It doesn't matter even if it costs my life. This is my choice."

"Father, you have chosen the wrong tool."

Even in the endless darkness.

Even if your life has been planned from the moment you were born.

The girl still bloomed into a pure white flower in the darkness.

How beautiful, how dazzling.

Xiaonan thinks that she can't do it... No, it should be said that most people in the world can't do it.

But precisely because we can’t do it, we yearn for it and long for it.

How could anyone not like Ritsuko like this?

but.

A touch of nostalgia appeared on Xiaonan's expression.

Sakura, how much she looks like Yahiko.

He was not forced to embark on the journey, but actively chose the light.

Even if you know that this road is destined to be full of hardships, you can still move forward with a smile.

As Konan read Sakura's story, it felt like she was seeing Yahiko again.

Seeing him...or rather, people who share the same ideals as him continue to overcome difficulties and achieve success, and watch 'justice' defeat 'evil' again and again, my heart seems to have become lighter.

At least you can temporarily forget the bad reality and some bad companions.

When people choose companions, they really can’t take the lead.

Especially the kind of person who talks nice but doesn't even have a reasonable plan.

She herself is a bloody lesson learned from the past.

"...I'm sorry, did I say too much."

Xiaonan, who couldn't help but explain when she mentioned something that was in her heart, blushed and stopped.

Only then did she behave like an ordinary young girl.

He will get excited when talking about the things he likes, instead of repeating simple words like "yes" and "ok" expressionlessly like usual.

"No, I gained a lot from Miss Xiaonan's words."

Ugetsu, who had obtained the element, thanked him sincerely.

After listening to Xiaonan's words, she felt that she had grasped many eye-catching points.

After going back and sorting it out, I told Jiraiya that I should be able to come up with the third work.

He looked relaxed, as if he was going to order food at the store.

...but she provides the elements, and Jiraiya provides the complete story after integrating it.

It’s not much different from using a tablet to place an order in a restaurant.

It just so happened that he had been resting for a while, and it was time to prepare for a new job.

"Ah!"

Jiraiya, who was preparing for the port, suddenly sneezed.

The movement was so loud that it attracted the attention of people several meters around. Tsunade, who was watching next to her, couldn't help but frown.

Obviously he couldn't stand the sloppy look of his former teammate.

"do not know."

Jiraiya shook his head, then reached out to Tsunade for help.

"Tsunade, come on, help me."

Tsunade looked over with an expression of 'What are you doing again?'

"I, I seem to have lost my waist."

The force of the sneeze just now was so strong that he couldn't move his waist now.

Tsunade:"……"

Is it too late to say you don’t know this guy?

It's of course too late to say... now.

After all, they are about to be responsible for the security work of the ‘Ocean Star’.

Although it has been tested several times before, after all, this is an unprecedented underwater voyage in the world. To ensure safety, Tsunade will also go into the water with the first official operation of the 'Ocean Star' to complete this twelve-hour journey. voyage.

She and Jiraiya were standing at the port, waiting for the passenger ship to depart for the 'Port in the Sea' where the Star of the Sea was located.

"Master Tsunade!"

Tsunade turned around and saw the old man greeting her.

"Ah, Mr. Dazuna."

"Tsunade-sama, hey, Keisha, don't drag me!"

As Dazna trotted, he patted his side and carefully protected himself, fearing that he would throw out his ruthless son-in-law.

"Father-in-law, didn't you still complain about leg pain two days ago? Be careful."

The man next to him smiled innocently, protected the old man from the crowd, and came to Tsunade.

"This is made by Tsunami. You can eat it on the way."

Dazuna smiled.

"Oh, I just like this. Thank you Tsunami for me."

"In other words, you helped us treat the disease, and we haven't repaid you yet - we can only provide you with this. I feel really guilty."

Because Ugetsu chose to start a new project in the Land of Waves, Jiraiya and Tsunade from the Ugetsu Store, who came with them as store employees, also stayed.

This place had just experienced exploitation. In addition, the location was in the middle of nowhere, and there was no place to have fun. Tsunade had no choice but to follow Ugetsu's arrangement and treat the people here. .

Although she was unable to see external injuries due to her hemophobia, even so, the people of the Land of Waves were still very grateful to her.

Because if she hadn't been here, they, as well as their relatives and friends, might have been suffering from illness for a long time.

Where can I be like now, not only getting rid of the pain, but also not delaying the opportunity to find a job, successfully getting a job and earning money to support the family.

Dazna shook his head.

At this time, his face no longer had the gloom and gloom of the past. Not only was he energetic, he even looked several years younger.

His personality is becoming more and more lively, sometimes even too lively.

For example, like today, I just ran away after getting something.

I don’t even think about how old he is. What if he really falls?

As a daughter, Tsunami tried several times to no avail, so she had to ask her husband to help her watch more.

Dazna's clothes are still simple, but it can be seen that they are made of comfortable and good materials.

——This is not surprising. As a famous bridge builder in the Country of Waves, after the economy of the Country of Waves was revitalized, he naturally had more work.

"That's nothing."

Tsunade's eyes fell on Kesha again.

"I've already done it thoroughly."

Noticing Tsunade's gaze, Kesha also raised his arms in a 'strong' posture, and then patted the muscles on his arms hard.

Tsunade felt a little guilty about Kesha.

Because of her fear of hemophobia, she did not directly participate in Kesha's treatment, but only helped with the treatment of internal injuries and physical conditioning afterwards.

——Although they rescued Kesha in time that day, before that, he had been severely beaten by Cardo and his men. Coupled with the heavy rain, it was true that there was more air coming out and less air coming in.

In addition, although he is physically strong, he is not a ninja after all... Tsunade was once worried that he might be disabled.

Seeing him alive and kicking now, as a medical ninja, she was really pleased.

Without saying a few words, boarding began not far away.

Seeing this, Dazna took a few steps back and waved goodbye:

"We are just here to deliver things, so we won't delay you."

After the little old man finished speaking, he did not stop, but walked into the crowd again with his son-in-law.

Although she hadn't acted as a ninja for a long time, her keen sense of unrelatedness still allowed her to capture the movements of the two of them immediately.

Kesha's persuasion and Dazna's unhappy complaints floated into her ears.

Tsunade looked at the wrapped food in her hands and smiled.

At this time, the Country of Waves is no longer the barren and desolate state it once was.

Standing on the high point of the port and looking around, there are people everywhere, up and down, left and right, in front and behind.

With the new project of Uzuki Store, and as a technical secondary school station between the mainland and the ocean, the constant flow of customers and goods has injected vitality into this country that used to be barren and had no sense of existence.

The emergence of a large number of jobs has not only boosted the income of local people, but also attracted many outsiders to settle here and make money.

And when there are more people, various industries that are created by people will also follow.

develop.

Like a snowball, the Land of Waves is becoming more and more prosperous.

Tsunade was in a daze and could not imagine what this place was like when she first arrived - not to mention her, even many people from the Kingdom of Waves who had lived here for generations could not imagine the barren and desolate appearance of this place in the past if they did not recall it deliberately.

The suffering and trauma caused by Cardo are gradually healing in the rapid development. No need to heal, it will probably be completely forgotten one day in the future by people who have already lived a happy life.

The sea breeze carrying the unique salty smell of the sea blew through Tsunade's hair along with the noisy voices.

The sound was noisy, but not annoying.

It even gave Tsunade a vague illusion.

An illusion that ‘maybe days like this will continue forever’.

Although she also knew this was impossible.

But there was also such a small, really small and soft voice in her heart:

What if?

What if it really could?

If so.

Tsunade shook his head helplessly.

I must be really getting older.

Otherwise, how could such unrealistic ideas arise?

but.

If there really is such a future.

Then she must...

"I want to see how amazing this 'Ocean Star' is."

A young voice sounded.

"That's right, isn't it something similar to Desert Star?"

"It means people from the Kingdom of Water have never played before, so they spread it so well."

A group of brightly dressed young men gathered together to chat, but in their conversation they expressed contempt for Ocean Star.

"That's right, sit down for me, I'm too lazy to sit down."

"That's right! That's it!"

——It’s not because they didn’t buy tickets that they’re making sarcastic remarks here.

Yes, the few people here are all people who failed to buy the Ocean Star's qualifications and can only take the VIP sightseeing boat.

Although everyone is rich.

But rich people also have hierarchies.

The collaterals like them, who have no worries about food and clothing, are definitely not as good as those big aristocrats and tycoons who can really spend a lot of money and are rich and powerful.

With the money they have, they can eat, drink, play and enjoy life.

But for high-priced luxury goods like the Desert Star, which are prepared for the real rich, they can only look at them and shake their heads.

If you want to ride, you just have to behave and buy a ticket.

The position of the popular Ocean Star is naturally out of their reach.

Although Ugetsu Store has prepared a winning qualification for each ship.

But this one in 10,000 or even one in 100,000 chance... that is not something that ordinary people can get.

You need to know the difference between ‘good luck’ and ‘unlucky’ people.

That can also create a Mariana Trench.

Because they did not specifically avoid talking to others, this behavior of saying sour grapes before they could eat them was seen and heard by many people.

Some of them secretly agreed with this - after all, they were not the only ones who didn't buy it.

There are also those who are disdainful.

If you didn’t buy it, you didn’t buy it.

Why do you have to say you don't care?

Could this make you look good?

At this moment, a man with a round body, delicate features and a kind face walked over.

"What is the Ocean Star you are talking about?"

he asked curiously.

"You do not know?"

Several people looked at the person who suddenly spoke in surprise.

The man shook his head upon hearing this.

"I traveled here from other places. I saw everyone taking boats to participate in activities in the Kingdom of Water, so I followed them here."

He said it in an understatement, and the people around him also didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Isn't this the life of rich people?

Take a casual trip anytime, anywhere, and then change to a destination you are more interested in as you wish.

And the attribute of being a good teacher exists in most people.

Seeing someone who can give me good guidance and guidance, of course I have more desire to speak:

"Hey, it's not that big of a deal."

"That's right, it's a vehicle that can sail under the sea - you know the Desert Star, right? It's almost like that."

"Yeah, it's the same thing. I really don't know why they made an underwater version. It's so dark under the water, there's nothing to see."

"There are so many people trying to rob it. These people really have no vision."

Of course, a sour tone can't say anything good.

But the man who asked the question still grabbed what he needed.

There has never been a vehicle that can sail under the sea and is very difficult to obtain qualifications.

The man's eyes lit up.

"Then where can I buy this Ocean Star?"

"what?"

The young men who spoke at the beginning looked over.

"Didn't I say that this thing is annoying? It's unsightly and has a lot of restrictions. It's hard to get votes."

"Yeah, the qualifications for the next seven days are all booked, no chance."

"Hey!"

Seeing his companion say this, one person quickly reached out and stabbed him.

We are talking bad words, you said it so clearly... doesn't it seem like we care and go out of our way to understand it?

The person who was poked glanced at his companion in confusion, but finally closed his mouth under the warning look in his eyes.

If you don’t want to say it, just don’t say it.

"...Anyway, that's what happened."

One of them shrugged.

"Nothing."

But the tall and kind-hearted man just nodded.

"I know, so I asked where I can buy Ocean Star."

He showed a simple smile.

Several young men: "..."

And the man continued to talk.

"If I buy one myself, I don't have to buy another ticket."

"I only have two Desert Stars, and I don't have an Ocean Star yet."

The man said with a smile, his tone was as relaxed as if he were going to the market to buy a few kilograms of meat.

The expressions of several young men fell down.

——Co-author They talked so much, but they only talked about loneliness?

The man continued without caring at all:

"So you don't know either?"

"Then I'll ask others. Thank you for telling me these things."

The man left happily.

The already low mood of several people was even worse now.

Can afford two Desert Stars...

They are not on the same level at all.

I'm the clown myself?

Let’s not forget about things on the sightseeing boat.

The Ocean Star, which was officially put into use for the first time by Ugetsu Store, also welcomed its first batch of passengers.
