I became rich through business in the ninja world

Except for Danzo, everyone else - whether it is the third generation or the senior management, is happy to see the success of this cooperation.

After all, no matter how much is negotiated, they will not lose.

And because it involves the settlement of big businesses, the feedback from Sunagakure Village is far more positive than expected.

Almost as soon as Ugetsu was finalized, the Third Kazekage personally took action.

‘A visit from the shadow of a village’ is a major event for Konoha.

Although many people came to the previous Tang Xi Competition, after all, they were only the elite jounin who led the team, and it was not an official visit, so the issue of 'reception' was not involved.

But ‘shadow’ is different.

Whatever the reason, Kage going to another shinobi village is a top priority for both villages.

So almost the entire Konoha was mobilized.

Those who clean the house clean the house, and those who clean up the gangsters and evildoers - although there is no "black" in the ninja's village, the evil is just the "street bully" who makes small troubles.

No matter how big or small, they were all caught in one fell swoop this time.

Don't say 'evil' anymore, you can't even see anyone who speaks more viciously.

Almost the entire Konoha is reorganizing the city's appearance, trying to show the most prosperous and powerful side of Konoha to the Third Kazekage.

Inspections and cleaning efforts were also stepped up in some areas and streets that were not usually involved. Under the auspices of Namikaze Minato, many 'minor troubles' that had troubled people in the past were also solved.

The happiness of Konoha villagers has also greatly increased.

——It is true that small problems such as leaking eaves, uneven roads at the door, water accumulation at corners, and rats in warehouses do not affect our lives.

But solving them will also give people a sense of joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Suddenly, the happiness of the Konoha villagers surged to the extreme.

As for Ugetsu Store, which is the top priority, Konoha is even preparing to give her a major renovation - not to mention the interior, at least the exterior will need to be renovated.

Even if expensive decoration materials are used, it doesn’t matter, the cards must stand up anyway.

Although the building where Ugetsu Store is located is not considered dilapidated (after all, Konoha has not been built for hundreds of years), as one of the older buildings in Konoha, coupled with the long-term neglect of the surface, it is inevitable that it will become obsolete.

However, facing Konoha's sincere opinion, Ugetsu decisively refused. She didn't ask anyone to completely renovate it, but only asked them to help clean the inside and outside during the night when the business was closed.

Some damaged areas on the surface were repaired, and then the road surface was reorganized.

It’s not that the roads here are bad, it’s just that the roads far away from the city center inevitably have problems of insufficient maintenance, and it’s time to solve them now.

Although Ugetsu's request was not small, it still surprised Kakashi.

He even looked at Ugetsu with suspicious eyes——

In his mind, Miss Ugetsu didn't let them tear down the house and rebuild it in two days, so she was letting them go. How could she just let them clean it up once?

After all, that was Miss Ugetsu.

Ms. Ugetsu, who doesn't leave even a drop of extra physical strength and energy to them every day.

Could it be that he was impersonated by someone?

"What's your look?"

Noticing Kakashi's gaze, Ugetsu raised his head while settling accounts.

"We don't talk about class or seniority here. If you have any questions, just ask them directly."

The young man didn't expect that his attitude had become so obvious, so he looked away in embarrassment. But I still couldn't resist my inner curiosity.

"Then...that's what I said?"

"Go ahead."

"Why didn't Ms. Ugetsu agree to let them renovate the house? It's not like your...ah, I mean, you don't have to pay extra anyway. Isn't it good to get a new house?"

so close.

Hatake Kakashi swallowed.

I almost said what I really meant.

...Miss Ugetsu probably didn’t notice.

Ugetsu: ...It’s weird if you don’t understand.

It's just that she's too lazy to worry about this little thing.

How can a qualified and magnanimous boss care about the mistakes of his employees?

Ah, I have to remember to tell Shisui later.

Give Kakashi more rotations.

I have time to think about this, but it seems that my job is too easy.

Gotta wind him up.

Young people cannot be so lax.

Thinking about the arrangement in his mind, Ugetsu answered Hatake Kakashi's question without stopping talking:

"Have you ever thought about how much business a complete renovation will delay?"

"There are so many things to sort out in the store, how busy are we just here? Besides, have you ever seen any century-old store with a shiny new appearance?"

Of course, the main reason is that Yuyue doesn't feel the need to take advantage of this.

It's great to have free sex, but free sex also requires time.

She and Konoha are not equal to each other now, but agreeing at this time is a small gain, and it is easy for the other party to look down on her.

When the relationship between two people is not equal, this is not "free prostitution", but "accepting charity". It's equivalent to putting yourself in a weak position that needs to be taken care of.

Once this understanding is established, even if Konoha considers itself a 'protector' or even a 'ruler' and is always available to her, it will be difficult for her to refute it.

If you're just seeking a refuge, there's nothing wrong with that - maybe even a good thing.

But what Ugetsu wants is not a low-level status where he can't live without someone to protect him.

What she wants to do is to be on an equal footing with these people.

Besides, it’s not like she couldn’t run the business without renovations.

But these are issues on another level, and have little to do with ninjas like Kakashi.

Hatake Kakashi nodded along with the first few sentences because they made sense, but he was confused by the last sentence:

"A century-old store?"

Did he remember it wrong or is Miss Ugetsu crazy?

He clearly remembered that this shop had only been in Konoha for a few years.

That’s even counting the time when it was still an inconspicuous little shop.

It would be even shorter if I only talked about Ugetsu-san.

Not to mention a century-old store, it's probably better than Full Moon.

Ugetsu looked at Hatake Kakashi and shook his head. He couldn't help but said seriously: "Kakashi, you can't just look at things by their appearance."

Kakashi Hatake: ...What if? What else to see? skeleton? That has to be there.

He really couldn't understand the inevitable connection between the 'century-old store' and the 'Ugetsu Store' and the fact that he shouldn't just look at the appearance.

"We need to take a long-term view of things and think deeply - isn't there any century-old store that didn't start from the first year?"

…Of course, everything starts from the first year.

But what does this have to do with the ‘hundred-year-old store’ you mentioned?

"But what does this have to do with what we're talking about?" The silver-haired boy often felt out of place because he couldn't keep up with the thinking of other people in Ugetsu Shop.

Yuyue said confidently: "Of course, it's a big deal. We are now building a century-old store from scratch. Although this year is only the first year, we can also say that this is the founding year and the first year of the century-old store. ah!"

The young man's face under the mask was shocked.

——Is this okay?

Can we still understand it this way?

However, she hasn't finished speaking yet:

"Everything we do now is groundbreaking for Ugetsu Store and the world, and will have historical significance in the future."

"Each project is also a brand-new project that can bring changes to the world - look at the work we are doing now, which one is not very popular and popular? This proves that as long as we work hard, With hard work, you can create new sales miracles again and again.”

"Doesn't a store like this still have hope of becoming a century-old store?"

Kakashi: Of course there is.

"As a person who can participate and have the opportunity to create a century-old store from scratch, aren't you excited? Don't you feel that you should work harder and rely on your own hands to strive for this goal?"

Excitement is excitement.

But if he continues to be overworked like this, even if he doesn't go to the battlefield, he may not see that day for fifty years.

The young man showed his dead fish eyes. He felt that he had really endured too much weight that was not appropriate for his age.

No, or he shouldn't have asked the question in the first place.

The young man thought so, but in the end he did not speak on this matter again, but returned to the original topic.

"So you're keeping this old look on purpose?"

"How can this be called obsolete? This is called a sense of history and traces of the passage of time."

The way Ugetsu looked at Hatake Kakashi was like a teacher looking at a student who can't teach no matter how hard he teaches.

There is even a bit of compassion in the care.

Can you speak?

As a businessman, how come you can’t even say the right thing?

"It is with this feeling that we can better negotiate with customers from Sunagakure Village and even the world. Stores with a history make people more reassured - after all, new stores often represent time periods, which will give people the impression that they are not. A sense of grounding.”

Kakashi was amazed, never expecting that a shabby shop appearance could make her talk about flowers.

With this eloquence alone, he has no doubt that the 'Ugetsu Store' can become a century-old store.

It’s hard to say whether other stores are new or old.

But here, Miss Ugetsu, old and new have no influence, right?

After all, even if she was given a ready-made shop that was just built yesterday, she would still be able to convince people with her ghostly words.

Teenagers sometimes feel like this:

If talking skills can also be rated, if Miss Ugetsu says she is A, then no one would dare to say she is S - maybe compared to ninjutsu of the same level, Miss Ugetsu's talking skills have a more powerful impact .

After all, if you use ninjutsu, use it.

Ms. Ugetsu's words will only continue to ferment and spread with the passage of time and product promotion.

So terrifying.

The silver-haired boy only thought for two seconds before feeling that it was not his turn to worry about Miss Ugetsu. It's better to start work early and finish work early.

The teenager is getting ready to go to work.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a pair of eyes full of stars.

"Kay?"

Why are you here? Return this expression?

The boy who was called was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Miss Ugetsu said that is so good!"

"It's amazing! It's a century-old store!"

He danced and looked at his 'old enemy'.

"I can actually participate as one of them...it's really..."

He was so excited that he could hardly speak.

"What a pleasure! What an honor!"

When I think about the sweat and hard work involved, when I think about all my efforts being rewarded and turned into a brick of a century-old history.

Metkai's blood boiled.

"Kakashi! Let's start working hard today!"

"what?"

What does it mean to start working hard today? When do they usually stop working hard?

"No, not today, just from now on!"

Metkai said, grabbing the hand of his old enemy and rushing out like flying.

"Let's go! Let's go and make three hundred kilograms of syrup first, and then pack three hundred kilograms of blind boxes and make three hundred kilograms of milk tea... Ah, does the orphanage also need manpower? We'll go and help after get off work. Bar!"

There are 24 hours in a day! Don’t worry about having nothing to do!

Kakashi: ? ? ?

Why did he just let him hear it?

"Come on."

You can still hear the girl's brisk cheering behind you.

Looking at the gate of Konoha from a distance, the Third Kazekage felt mixed emotions.

He never expected that one day he would come to Konoha to talk about a work commission related to Suna Ninja.

If someone had said this a few months ago, he would have thought it was someone viciously mocking the poor state of Sunagakure Village and then forking people out to eat the wind and sand to wake up their minds.

"You're here."

Seeing the Third Kazekage and his companions coming from afar, Minato Namikaze and several companions behind him greeted them at the gate and bowed in salute.

The Third Kazekage's gaze passed over the man in front of him.

For ninjas like this who can change the level they occupy by one person, each ninja village will have a directory.

From Shinobu who just left home to Kage, the top leader, they all know it by heart.

"Thank you for coming to pick us up."

"Where." Namikaze Minato smiled and said kindly and enthusiastically, "Everyone has worked hard to come all the way. Please come with me to settle in."

"Hokage-sama has been looking forward to your arrival."

"Lord Hokage is interested." The Third Kazekage glanced at everyone, "We are here for the cooperation that Scorpion said. Where is Scorpion now?"

Although the letter sent by Scorpio contains a lot of things, it is inevitable that there will be omissions in this kind of matter without face-to-face conversation.

He preferred to discuss it after Scorpio explained everything in detail.

Of course he knew that Xia had accepted the research and development commission from Yuyue Store.

Although Scorpion's performance in recent times has been unsatisfactory, many people in the village have been dissatisfied. But this one thing alone is enough to add points.

After all, this is equivalent to them taking a business from Konoha, which is enough to silence those who say that Scorpion Heart is no longer in Sunagakure Village.

It's just that the Third Kazekage didn't take this matter too seriously in the past. Think of it as an ordinary task, and once it's done, it's over.

"Sir Scorpion's words..."

At the mention of Scorpion, Namikaze Minato's originally perfect expression changed for a moment.

Although it was only a very subtle change, the Third Kazekage and his entourage were elites who had experienced many battles, so they would not miss it.

There does seem to be a problem.

Seeing this, the Third Kazekage showed a fake smile and said tactfully:

"Why, is it Scorpion that's causing trouble for you all?"

"If so, then I would like to apologize on his behalf. The young man is young and energetic, so please be more considerate."

As he said apologetic words, his eyes became sharper.

The followers behind him were all experienced veterans. They noticed the change in Feng Ying's aura and tensed up. If anything unexpected happened, they would immediately spring into action.

"...No, that's not the problem."

The curve of the corner of Namikaze Minato's mouth was really close to his lips. After all, this matter was indeed...unprecedented.

"It's just that Master Xie...well, he said he wanted to retreat, so he sealed the workshop, so we don't know what the situation is now..."

They are really inexperienced.

The Third Kazekage also fell silent after hearing this.

——This sounds like Scorpion's style.

When he was in Sunagakure Village, he hated being disturbed by others.

It's not like I've never sealed a house before... No, I've done it all the time.

The hostility in the Third Kazekage's eyes faded a lot. If this is the case, then it's no wonder that the expressions on their Konoha people's faces are unbearable.

"I understand, then please take us to resettle first - I will handle the Scorpion matter."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Namikaze Minato also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Miss Ugetsu explained that 'the R&D staff have tight schedules and heavy tasks, so don't bother them if you don't want to be disturbed', but after all, they are the elites of other villages. By sealing it like this (even though he sealed it himself), they won't be able to explain to the people of Sunagakure Village if they can't hand him over, right?

Now the Third Kazekage understands and promises to solve the problem.

It was also a big help to them.

Of course it would be best if they could solve the problem of the ninjas of Sunagakure Village by themselves.

When things have reached this point, Sandai will naturally not make people unhappy at this time. Of course, he immediately agreed with a stroke of his pen.

He also told Namikaze Minato that if the people of Sunagakure started fighting on their own, remember to give them some advice.

So the Third Kazekage and his followers followed Namikaze Minato without any hindrance to the house that was temporarily requisitioned as Orochimaru and Scorpion's joint workshop.

Just as Namikaze Minato said, puppets and detonating charms were arranged outside the house.

A posture of 'don't hurt me' and 'try to die'.

"This is..."

Namikaze Minato looked at the Third Kazekage implicitly.

"……excuse me."

The Third Kazekage said, using his blood inheritance limit.

The Third Kazekage's blood inheritance limit, Magnetic Release Sand Iron, can freely control things containing iron. Even in sandy open spaces, the iron content can be extracted and manipulated.

"Magnetic Release·Sand Iron Giant Needle!"

He used a giant sand-iron needle to destroy the puppet's nodes, and then wrapped the detonating talisman with sand-iron, forcibly preventing the detonating talisman from exploding, thus opening the passage to the workshop.

"Okay."

He said, walking forward and opening the door.

But before he could reach the door, the door was opened from the inside.

A long-haired man with a cold face clearly gave way.

"Please come in."

"Orochimaru of the Sannin..."

The Third Kazekage revealed the name of the visitor.

"It's an honor that Lord Kazekage knows my name."

Orochimaru said respectfully, but the expression on his face was very indifferent.

With him leading the way, the group quickly arrived at the center of the workshop.

All the messy things were removed, leaving only a strange-looking machine in the middle. The appearance of the machine was a little different from the average weight, but this was not the point. People quickly focused on its composition. superior.

There were conveyor belts and a lot of things that looked like gears of different sizes.

As for other high and low things that look like jars or boxes...that is beyond their scope of cognition.

"You guys are here?"

Scorpion, who was standing in front of the weird machine, showed no signs of being angry at being disturbed - luckily they arrived just after the completion. If it had been before the completion, it would definitely not be such a peaceful scene.

The reason why Scorpion closed the workshop was that he didn't want to explain to anyone except that he wasn't going to let Orochimaru leave before it was completed.

Even if the people in Konoha keep asking about the progress out of good intentions and want to help.

But in Scorpio's view, if you can do something like technology, you can do it, and if you can't, you can't.

If you can't do it, even if a hundred more people come, it will only cause chaos. It's better not to come in the first place.

After all, even if there are a hundred wastes, they are still wastes.

"Scorpion, how come you..."

In front of the people of Konoha, the Third Kazekage could not directly protect him no matter what.

——Just like when a school calls parents, parents always have to give a few words of reprimand to their children at the beginning.

But Scorpio obviously didn't like him.

"It's basically done."

"Is this the machine you were talking about...the machine that makes the mold used for the 'Dream Bag'?"

"The production part to be precise."

Scorpio doesn't like this kind of imprecise expression.

"In terms of raw material production, we still have some difficulties to overcome."

Orochimaru followed and began to explain.

After all, he had a share of the credit, so Xie didn't get angry because he took the lead.

"At this stage, we plan to divide the production of the dream package into two parts. One part is the preparation part you see now." Xie continued. “The other part is the production of the raw materials.”

"Do the raw materials still need to be made?"

The Third Kazekage frowned.

Wouldn't it be troublesome if this part was added?

Is this really okay?

Scorpion's face fell.

Orochimaru also had an expression on his face that said, "So it's hard to communicate with uneducated people."

But the other person was still Feng Ying no matter what, and his disgust only flashed across his face, followed by a faint business smile.

"After all, it is a high-quality product, and of course it has requirements for raw materials."

After saying this, Xie's expression became serious.

He interrupted Orochimaru and spoke himself:

"Although the process is relatively complex, there are still many difficulties that need to be overcome and things that need to be simplified. But..."

Xie said, raising his eyes to look at the third generation, his expression was rare and serious.

"One of the ingredients of the material is sand."

"Oh, Sunako..." The Third Kazekage was not very interested in this, so he just said it casually at first, but then he realized the weight of these words.

"Wait, Sand?"

"Are you talking about the kind we commonly see, sand?"

Is there sand everywhere outside the village?

The Third Kazekage understood the meaning almost immediately.

For Sand Hidden Village, sand is a business without capital.

It's not just how much you want, they can even give away tons of them for free.

If this thing can really happen...

That would be a huge profit for Sunagakure Village, a long-term business that could even be passed on to future generations.

The Third Kazekage's whole body tensed up with excitement.

He didn't need to think too much to see the benefits Sunagakure Village could get from it.

"Really?"

"Master Scorpion, is what you said really possible?"

Several other people in Sunagakure Village also became excited.

Can sand also be used as material?

Can sand be sold for money?

This is too unbelievable, and it must be too preferential treatment for their Sunagakure Village.

"It's just that at present, there are still many technical difficulties in the specific implementation."

It is certainly a good thing to reduce material costs, but it makes no sense if the process costs are too high.

As a technical worker, Scorpion speaks realistically. But the people in Sand Hidden Village only remember the words "sand can be used as material" and "sand can also make money".

"It doesn't matter. If it's Mr. Scorpion, it will be fine!"

"Yes! It's a technical matter! Nothing can trouble Mr. Scorpion!"

People in Sand Hidden Village may dislike Scorpio's personality, but no one does not recognize his skills.

The same is true at this time.

scorpion:"……"

So he hates dealing with these laymen who don't understand technology.

I don’t know anything yet I have wild expectations.

If it doesn't help, it will only add to the chaos.

Even though it was just a 'possibility', the Third Kazekage couldn't help but look forward to it after seeing Sunagakure Village's new income.

Is it because they are willing that Sunagakure Village is faced with constraints and lack of supplies?

Of course not.

It's because they are poor.

The barren natural environment means they need to obtain various materials at a higher cost.

It is true that they have some methods to refine placer gold to exchange for money, but not everyone has such technology. In addition, the daimyo of the Land of Wind also intends to reduce the budget of Sunagakure Village...

Thinking of the news he had received, the Third Kazekage had a headache.

Now he finally sees good things, of course he is happy.

It’s true that we don’t know how this ‘dream bag’ business will end up, but mosquito legs are also meat, and with the current situation in Sunagakure Village, they have no right to dislike it.

They are not like Konoha, who have a big family and a large business, and are rich in products.

To them, Ugetsu's commission was probably like a corner area that wanted nothing but had no sense of existence and suddenly learned that a company was coming to invest in setting up a factory.

It was a pure surprise.

Of course, the green light must be given.

Even if they really can't make much money, they haven't paid much anyway.

Coupled with the reputation of 'people from Konoha come to us to entrust cooperation', it can also fool many people.

Now that the name of the Kingdom of Wind is known, he may have to reconsider his decision.

Therefore, during the negotiation, the Third Kazekage behaved very generously.

Yuyue had originally prepared several persuasion plans, but none of them were used.

This made her somewhat uncomfortable.

There is even an awkward feeling like being punched on cotton.

But no matter what, it is better to save trouble than to have many troubles.

She is still quite satisfied.

On the contrary, the Third Hokage couldn't stand it anymore.

It's also generous.

It's no different from giving it to you for free.

Are you really like the shadow of a village?

Keep it tight.

You will make it impossible for others to talk about it.

The Third Hokage's worries were not unreasonable.

After all, if the Kazekage gives so many discounts and support, then how can Konoha, as Miss Ugetsu's hometown, not be worse than what the Third Kazekage gave?

But if it were really given as hard as the Third Kazekage, then the degree of freedom would be too high.

If nothing else, Danzo would definitely not agree.

However, the Third Kazekage not only refused to listen to the advice, but even felt that he could continue to increase his efforts.

As for the Third Hokage's 'kindness', he said very 'considerately':

"It doesn't matter. I know that your Konoha family has a big business and ninja affairs are heavy. It is really difficult to give too many manpower and discounts."

The Third Hokage and the elders nodded.

Yes, after all, we are Konoha established by the 'God of Ninja', with a big family and a busy work. It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that it’s really hard to spare their hands.

It’s good if you can understand, long live understanding.

However, next, the Third Kazekage changed the subject:

"But our Sunagakure Village is different. We have a professional team of puppet masters. When we are short of manpower, we can also use puppets to work. Unlike living people who may be affected by their status, puppet status is more stable and can be used with confidence. On a variety of highly repetitive tasks.”

???

Sarutobi Hiruzen began to feel that something was wrong. He squinted and looked at the Third Kazekage who was still talking.

"So, Miss Ugetsu, are you interested in opening a store in our Sunagakure Village?"

There was even a smile that could be described as kind on the stern and serious face of the Third Kazekage.

"I heard that Ms. Ugetsu wants to be a ninja's 'hero egg'? There are many heroes in our Sand Ninja Village."

Yuyue opened her eyes wide:? Before she even opened her mouth, the authorization was delivered to her?

Is there such a good thing?
