Sand Hidden Village——

It’s different from the past when I just played with myself.

As the technical consultant of the 'Dream Pack' and 'Hero Doll', Scorpion has become the most popular person in Sunagakure Village.

o1.

Although Scorpion still had the cold-faced and indifferent look, people no longer thought that he was arrogant, but instead thought that he was a 'master'.

Expressionless and taciturn expressions are considered to be 'deep thinking'.

Not only did Scorpio not feel happy about these rumors.

On the contrary, I think these people are even more stupid.

He wasn't smart to begin with, and now it's as if his brain is broken.

However, it cannot be said that there are no benefits at all.

It is because these people are stupid enough that they can carry out their own research better and more immersedly with private goods.

To be honest, I don't have any worries.

The resources of a village are definitely more convenient than fighting alone.

Even if you really have other plans in the future.

Then you have to earn enough before you leave.

——Except for very few issues.

"Show me what my lovely grandson is doing?"

An old woman with gray hair walked in with a brisk pace that was totally inappropriate for her age.

‘Here comes the problem. ’

Four big characters flashed over Scorpion's head.

If there is anything in Sunagakure Village that troubles Xion now, it is only his blood relative.

"Why do you look so troubled?"

Grandma Chiyo, who is a high-ranking official in Sunagakure Village and Scorpion's grandmother, walked into her grandson's new workshop with a smile and spilled some machine parts that had been dismantled at the door onto the table.

"The gadgets at the door are pretty good."

"But it's still too far to stand in the way of a grandma who wants to love her grandson - what's that look in your eyes?"

Granny Chiyo raised her eyebrows.

"Don't you want to see poor grandma?"

"You have nothing to do with the word 'poor'."

Xion put away the front mechanisms that had been dismantled into parts and began to think about whether he should upgrade them.

At least it won't be demolished silently like this again.

"Why isn't he pitiful? He obviously has a lovely grandson, but he doesn't come twice a year. He can only let the old guy half-buried in the soil come to his door on his own initiative."

"I don't know how many more times I can walk at this age."

——As strong as you are now, you won’t have to worry about it for at least ten years.

Scorpio is ready to see off guests.

Good time cannot be wasted here.

However, as if aware of Scorpio's intentions, Granny Chiyo held up a letter.

The news of Sunagakure Village certainly does not need to be conveyed by letter.

And it comes from outside the village and can be safely handed over to him.

"Miss Ugetsu's new commission?"

"right."

Granny Chiyo shook the envelope in her hand with a smile.

"It seems there is a new project."

——It is said to be an 'ally', but after all, interests come first, and it is impossible for Sunagakure Village to completely give up exploring Konoha's intelligence.

Especially the matter of Ugetsu Store and Miss Ugetsu.

This is one of their most stable and safe sources of income.

Of course, Sand Hidden Village will pay special attention to each other.

Even if Konoha is in trouble or stressed, they can generously lend a helping hand - such as bringing Miss Ugetsu to Sunagakure Village or something.

It can not only help Konoha reduce stress, but also help Miss Ugetsu.

Their Sand Hidden Village is truly the best ally.

It's a pity that they searched for a long time and couldn't find any good opportunities.

All we can know is that Miss Ugetsu has recently gotten very close to the Third Hokage's apprentice, the man named Jiraiya, and seems to be working on some new project.

But it doesn't matter, as long as there is a project, they will

There is a chance - even if Sand Hidden Village itself has no characteristics, they have scorpions!

Chiyo came this time with the expectations of the top management of Sunagakure Village:

They hope that Xia can find a way to get Miss Ugetsu to visit Sand Hidden Village.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not permanent.

But at least come and take a look and get familiar with it.

They didn't ask for too much - after all, Sunagakure Village was still too barren compared to Konoha.

If you want to make Miss Ugetsu enjoy herself in the Hidden Sand Village... that is really difficult and unrealistic.

It was enough for them that Miss Ugetsu could leave a good impression on the 'hospitable' Sunagakure Village and think of them when they had any new projects in the future.

——Even if you can't eat a lot of meat, it's good to be able to drink a lot of soup.

And Granny Chiyo was the lobbyist they selected who could communicate effectively with Xia.

"That's pretty much it."

Grandma Chiyo said and shrugged.

"The people in the village are really like this. How much capability can a lonely old woman like me have?"

"A grandma who is not loved by her grandson is worse than a passerby in the village."

She launched her performance with excellent singing and composition.

Exaggerated sigh.

Scorpion's already expressionless face became a little colder, and the air around him cooled down.

"So, what about the benefits given by the village?"

Faced with her grandma's performance, Xie said calmly.

"Tsk."

Grandma Chiyo was speechless and looked at her grandson with gradually cloudy eyes - really, when did this kid become so shrewd?

Not cute at all!

"There's no way the village won't give me any benefits, so you can convince me by playing the emotional card."

Xie looked at her grandma calmly and smiled calmly.

Although it was just a small curve of the lips, it was enough to make Chiyo stunned.

She couldn't remember how many years it had been since she had seen her grandson smile so relaxedly.

When did it start?

From the last ninja war?

Or is it when the situation in Sunagakure Village becomes more and more serious and the atmosphere of the entire village becomes more depressed?

"What about things?"

Seeing that the old man hadn't moved and was just staring at him, as if he was looking at some exotic animal, the faint smile on Scorpion's face disappeared.

"The bigger they get, the less cute they become."

Chiyo woke up from his memories and took out a scroll from his sleeve, with a distressed look on his face and reluctant to let go:

"Be careful, this is a good thing I don't have much."

What impresses the puppet master is never money or status.

But a better puppet, or... a more precious material that can be used to make a puppet.

Puppet shapes and functions are diverse. The only thing that limits many functions is the personal strength of the puppeteer and the materials.

So puppeteers spend almost their entire lives pursuing better puppets and better materials.

Naturally, the senior management of Sunagakure Village knew this, so the "bribes" they took out were high-quality materials that even Chiyo, a well-known puppet master, would be moved by.

"grandmother."

Holding the other side of the scroll and looking at Granny Chiyo's hand that had not let go, Xie made a sound.

Chiyo wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, her aged face wrinkled more like an asshole.

She complained dissatisfiedly:

"Really, can't you touch me any more? I'm your grandma!"

Scorpion was more straightforward: "...If you weren't my grandma, you wouldn't be standing here like this."

The implication is that this is already the result of his caring for his family.

After complaining like this, Chiyo still took back his hand.

Xie opened the scroll and glanced at it quickly, and then said politely:

"That's it? What about the others?"

If you want people to do big work, you can't just send them away with something like this, right?

"This is the deposit." Granny Chiyo rolled her eyes after hearing this, and said angrily, "We have to wait until we succeed to talk about the rest."

In the final analysis, the real key is ‘Miss Ugetsu’s arrival.’ If he can’t see anyone, of course the village can’t count him as completing the mission.

To be able to give such a large deposit is already a huge investment for the village.

Scorpio is obviously not very satisfied, but after all, this is a job with a lot of money and a lot of work, so a deposit of this much is not a lot.

"I try my best."

The beautiful red-haired boy responded. Then he rolled his eyes and glanced at his grandma who was muttering about something and preparing to leave, and suddenly he had an idea.

——He thought of a temptation that even Miss Ugetsu would find impossible to refuse.

Ah, to put it this way, I really have to thank grandma for coming here specially.

Konoha has no way of knowing the plans of Sunagakure Village.

Therefore, it was another day of calm and prosperous business in Konoha.

Daisuke, who had been working at Ugetsu Store for a while, finally realized the weight of the words "Can you work overtime?"

As a newcomer, his main job is to do odd jobs.

This is actually not a problem. After all, he has just arrived, so it is normal not to be entrusted with important work.

Daisuke thinks these are normal.

but……

"Work harder, Daisuke-nii!"

The boy wearing glasses pushed up his glasses and earnestly encouraged Daisuke, who was trying his best to suppress his blush.

"Another two hundred pounds! It's done!"

——Two hundred pounds more! ?

Daisuke, who had been moving raw materials around all afternoon, almost lost his grip and threw the things on his hands.

With great difficulty, he controlled his facial expression and did not let his distorted side show.

He's really going to be in bad shape.

The first day he was cleaning everywhere.

Forget it, every corner has to be wiped clean, even the eaves and walls - tmd those inspection ninjas don't have martial ethics, it's just a cleaning job, as for using ninjutsu to inspect?

There is no need to clean the next day.

He started cutting bamboo, washing bamboo, and peeling bamboo.

His hands were blistered from the cuts.

But before he could raise his hands with blood blisters to complain to Ugetsu, the gentle and quiet director of the orphanage came up and cured him with a medical ninjutsu, leaving him with no evidence to complain.

——Isn’t it said that medical ninjas are rare? Is your Konoha so rich? Even the air bubbles on the hands of temporary workers are treated with medical ninjutsu?

Later, he finally took advantage of the opportunity of the young man who had made good friends with him on the first day and needed someone to escape from Zhuzi. He thought that the work on the child's side could not be as heavy as it was.

After all, children are fundamentally different from him, a basically adult person, in terms of size and strength.

What a child thinks is heavy and difficult may not necessarily be a big deal to him.

That's why he patted his chest and said it was okay when the other party confirmed with him.

——I think of it as a job of carrying all kinds of things desperately.

From here to there, from this store to that store.

And they were all so heavy that he was confused.

Is this really the children's job?

Not to mention his trembling arms, he felt that his waist would break if he continued like this.

"Um... isn't it about to get off work? We can do it tomorrow..."

He tried to excuse himself.

At least, at least let him rest.

The young man, Kabuto Yakushi, tilted his head.

"It's time to get off work - but didn't Daisuke-san say before that it's okay? If you love your job, you can work overtime?"

"And if we don't send it over today, Sarutobi-nii will be in trouble. He won't have enough raw materials to open the store tomorrow." The young man once again showed a pure and trusting smile, "Daisuke-nii, it will be fine!"

Daisuke: "..."

Well, I don’t know what kind of overtime you’re talking about.

L

Assistant choked up.

He thought of overtime work as sorting and selling things and running errands. He had done this kind of work when he was infiltrating in the past. Not afraid at all, but!

No one said before that there was so much hard work.

Is his identity revealed?

Dai Fu Di

He looked around again, trying to find the person watching him.

Faced with such arduous and tiring work, Daisuke wondered more than once whether his identity as a spy was exposed, which was why he suffered such torture.

However, the surroundings were as quiet as ever. Apart from himself and Kabuto the pharmacist beside him, there was no other person.

——Is it because I think too much?

Is it just that this store originally had so much physical work?

No wonder they are hiring.

Although there are a few hired ninjas in the store, most of them are women and children.

In this case, someone does need to do this kind of heavy physical work.

He really didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky to be able to join in at this time.

Although the progress went smoothly, I was really tired.

But then again, this work is so tiring, how on earth did these people complete their work before I came?

As if aware of Daisuke's thoughts, Yakushi Kabuto said 'accidentally':

"Brother Daisuke can't hold it anymore?"

There was some embarrassment on his face.

"Otherwise, you'd better wait until I call Brother Metkay."

"Mike?"

Daisuke ran through the name in his mind and quickly matched it with a boy with an eye-catching watermelon head.

"That's right, Brother Metkay has to move a ton every day - sometimes he even takes a few detours for exercise."

"Brother Metkai likes this kind of job the most. He said it combines work and exercise, killing two birds with one stone. Sometimes he even drags brother Kakashi together to compete to see who can move faster."

The case was solved and it turned out to be a physical animal.

But...I can't tell.

Forget about the young man in green tights, he seemed to be an energetic taijutsu player, but that disciple of Namikaze Minato...

Why is he also a physical maniac?

Never heard of it.

Was the previous information wrong?

While Daisuke was thinking, Kabuto Yakushi's voice sounded again:

"It doesn't matter. People have to do what they can. I don't blame you."

As he said this, the expression on his face also changed to a concern of 'It's okay, I understand, it's not your fault that you are too weak'.

This is very distressing.

Especially considering the current situation that I haven't even passed my internship period yet. Daisuke quickly forced a smile.

"How could it be? I'm okay, I just have a bit of a sore hand...I'll be fine soon!"

If it is judged as "useless" at this time... let alone snooping for information, maybe one of our own people will be kicked out.

And if he is kicked out because he lacks physical strength, then he will be humiliated and thrown into his grandma's house - there will not even be a place to redress his grievances.

After all, it was not because his identity was exposed or he was caught because he acted carelessly, it was simply because he did not do his physical work well.

Daisuke himself was too embarrassed to go back.

"Really? That's great. You are worthy of being Daisuke's brother."

Kabuto Yakushi showed an expression of admiration at the right time, and with his round face and round eyes due to the good food he had eaten recently, he looked like an innocent and simple ordinary boy.

On the one hand, he was embarrassed by the admiring look in the boy's eyes, but on the other hand, he was relieved that he was finally fooled and did not notice the flash of light on the boy's glasses.

Although they accepted him, neither Uchiha Shisui nor Yakushi Nonoyu gave up their vigilance against him. After negotiation, this 'surveillance' job was handed over to the most inconspicuous and clever Yakushi Kabuto.

——If you want the pharmacist Nonou to tell you that there is a child in the orphanage, you can inherit your legacy.

Then she would just answer 'Only Kabuto'.

Probably because of the adequate nutrition during this period, the boy became visibly normal.

Not only has the body become healthier, but the way of thinking has also become more diverse under the training of Miss Ugetsu.

Coupled with his innate intelligence and sensitivity, as well as his understanding of people's hearts and emotions.

Whether you are doing intelligence work or sales work, you can do it with ease.

In addition, the child's identity is not easily suspected, so it would be perfect for him to monitor him.

Kabuto Yakushi did not disappoint their expectations. Not only did he complete the surveillance mission very well, he also used his innocent appearance as a child to direct people around.

Relying on the fact that the other party didn't know the specific work process and daily workload, he was able to do the work of several people in one go.

In this way, they can free up time to deal with essential work. The work on the newly developed fruit tea in the orphanage has also been sped up a little bit because of Daisuke's hard work.

Although on the whole, there has been no qualitative leap in the work in the Ugetsu store.

But employees have more personal time available to them.

Kakashi even came specially to thank the pharmacist.

For the first time in a long time, he can get off work at ten o'clock when the sun sets!

——It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Except Daisuke's life might not be so happy.

After agreeing to Kabuto Yakushi to continue the action, Daisuke had no choice but to grit his teeth and pick up the heavy box again and move forward. While walking, he suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen the production workshop?"

Unprepared, Daisuke, who was only in the single digits, raised a question seemingly unintentionally. After doing so much work, there must be something gained, right?

"That's right, aren't the products at Ugetsu Store selling very well? But I didn't see the production workshop at all - don't you need our help?"

"Well, there's no need for that."

Kabuto Yakushi replied 'accidentally'.

"Huh? Don't you need it?"

"Well, there are dedicated senior employees in charge."

Everything was developed by Orochimaru and Scorpio, so how can they not be senior?

"Senior staff?"

Daisuke noticed a new word keenly.

"Yes, the key positions here are all handled by senior employees."

"It's like product development... ah."

The young man had a look on his face that said, "Oh no, I spilled the beans." He also covered his mouth with his hand in a cute way.

"Anyway, that's it - don't tell others what I told you."

"Don't worry, I won't tell you."

With such a good snooping channel, how could he let others discover him?

Daisuke felt happy and the smile on his face became more sincere.

Even the heavy goods in my hands seemed to be much lighter.

Great, he finally found a breakthrough.

It must be said that Ms. Ugetsu was too imprudent. How can you employ so many children?

How do children know the importance of things, let alone keep them secret?

Daisuke looked at the boy in front of him lovingly.

——What a good boy, he got the information so easily.

Anyway, you’ve already opened your mouth, why not try to get some more information?

With this in mind, he asked casually.

"Then how can I become a senior employee? Kabuto, do you know?"

"This……"

The young man showed a hesitant expression.

"It's okay. You're still young, so it's normal not to know."

Daisuke resorted to the provoking method - for children who are eager to prove themselves, the provoking method is a trick that works well every time.

There is no one who is not tricked.

Sure enough, the boy jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Of course I know!"

As if he was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, the young man took the initiative to speak again.

“Only a job well done or a knowledge of the store

Only those who have made significant contributions can become senior employees! "

Kabuto Yakushi not only told lies with open eyes, but he also said it very righteously, truly and convincingly.

——At least Daisuke believed it.

Not only did he believe it, he also firmly remembered it, ‘If you want to obtain further information, you must first find a way to become a senior employee’.

As for how to become a senior employee?

That of course means doing an 'excellent' job, or finding an opportunity to 'make a significant contribution'.

The former is probably what he is doing now.

However, considering my body size and the presence of the ‘Metkai’ jewel in front of me, it is a bit difficult to live a successful life just relying on physical strength.

The focus still has to be on ‘making significant contributions’ later on.

As for how to contribute...

I believe that the wise and powerful Mizukage-sama will not mind if he uses a few resources.

Daisuke took a deep breath and looked serious.

After all, this is also to complete Mizukage's mission.

"By the way, Daisuke-nii, please remember to try out the products in the store."

"what?"

Kabuto Yakushi said solemnly: "As an employee of Ugetsu Store, how can you not know the products in your store and not understand how to play them?" He paused and continued, "I also think you are kind, Daisuke-nii. I told you because I was capable."

"Okay... wait." He quickly realized one thing, "But I don't have time."

This day is not only busy but also exhausting.

Where does he have the energy and strength to get familiar with the product?

The young man looked strange:

"Why don't we have time? We don't have many products, so just spending a few hours a day to get familiar with them is enough."

——A few hours, listen, is this still human talk?

"Lunch break, after get off work and before going to bed... isn't that a lot of time?"

"Otherwise, getting up early in the morning is enough! Big brother is so strong, it doesn't matter if he sleeps less than ten days and a half."

Kabuto Yakushi pretended to be a senior, and said with a serious heart:

"Time is like the chakra used by ninjas. As long as you are willing to squeeze it, you will definitely have it."

?

I'm a ninja. Why haven't I heard this?

"After all, look at the ninjas, even if they are in desperate situations, they can always break through and create miracles!"

Daisuke:?

If I weren't a ninja, I might actually believe it.

But from a young man's perspective, it doesn't seem to be a problem?

After all, this is probably what ordinary children think of ninjas.

Daisuke felt a little sad for a moment.

If possible, who wouldn't want to be a heroic ninja with bright scenery, standing under the light and fighting with dignity?

Seeing Daisuke's wavering look, Kabuto Yakushi dealt another 'fatal blow'.

"Miss Ugetsu is particularly concerned about her products. If she is not familiar with them, she will definitely not be entrusted with important tasks."

"Isn't it worthwhile for the eldest brother to sacrifice ten days and a half of sleep in exchange for Miss Yuyue's favor?"

"I see."

Daisuke's face was solemn, his eyes were serious and at the same time he was really touched.

He didn't expect that he just showed a little kindness and helped the young man a few times, and he would report to him heartily like this.

It's a pity that he is a ninja who specializes in gathering information.

It is an intelligence gathering machine without emotions.

Even if he wants to take advantage of the young boy's innocent affection, he will never hesitate at all!

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome, we are all members of Ugetsu Store now. Daisuke-chan is so capable, so there will be no problem!"

After Kabuto Yakushi finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, both very satisfied.

——What a good (foolish) person.

Just have more.

Both parties are very sorry. They only regret that there are still too few swindlers who can provide help to them.

Otherwise, the progress of your mission will definitely be completed like flying.

what a shame.

The next day, Daisuke started preparing the familiar products just as Kabuto Yakushi suggested.

He is going to start with the ‘Tang Xi’ which seems to be the least difficult at present and is also the most popular among children——

After all, children are easy to talk about.

What if there is another good kid like Kabuto Yakushi who knows everything? Then isn't the information about Konoha and Ugetsu stores readily available?

Therefore, he first grasps the children's preferences, and then smoothly blends in and mingle with the children.

Besides, being close to the child would have helped him maintain a good, harmless image.

Daisuke is confident.

Just kidding, he is an elite spy, how could he not even be able to handle such a trivial matter?

He will definitely become a god immediately, immediately, and on the spot!

Just wait and see, he is the newest kid king in this neighborhood!

"——How shameless."

Watching him over and over again, some of the children around finally couldn't help but sigh.

But Daisuke only felt waves of pain on his face, as if an invisible big hand hit his face.

Daisuke tried hard to control the two sticks and the sticky syrup in his hands, trying to make them act according to his wishes.

It's a pity that they all have their own ideas and cannot form the shape according to his wishes. The candy fell down softly, and it was difficult for the stick to eat as much as you wanted.

Pick it up here, slide it down there.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Minato Namikaze student looked at him with a hesitant look when he said he wanted to start familiarizing himself with the product by starting with sugar syrup.

This thing is really troublesome.

If Daisuke had witnessed the "Tangsu Contest" with his own eyes, Daisuke would never be as dismissive as he is now, thinking that Tangtang is just a "children's toy".

It's a pity that he was on a mission elsewhere at the time, and the Kirigakure Village (mainly Uchiha Obito, who controlled the Fourth Mizukage) did not take this playful activity seriously.

Although the ninjas involved talked a lot passionately, to the senior management of Kirigakure Village, it was just a large-scale playful activity.

It's not a new ninjutsu, and it can't bring any real effects.

No matter how wonderful it is, what’s the use?

Their Kirigakure Village didn't lose, and they didn't lose face in front of the other ninja villages - it was enough to know this.

As a result, Daisuke, a person with little knowledge, chose the highest difficulty level.

In fact, Hatake Kakashi originally wanted to give him a few words of advice.

But considering that he works in the store and has to walk once in the morning and evening, the order is not that important.

Besides, it’s good to start early.

After all, I have more time to practice.

——In this way, Daisuke missed the last reminder and plunged into the most difficult product in the Ugetsu store.

And unfortunately, he was publicly executed in front of the children who were watching.

It can be said to be even worse.

The children were also confused.

In their view, the employees of Ugetsu Store are the mentors of the candy world, and at worst they are the devils of the candy world. They are the existences they must look up to and the goals they are prepared to defeat in the future.

How could such a dish come out of nowhere!

Is he really an employee of Ugetsu Store?

The children looked at him wrongly, and most of them reported to the people at Ugetsu Store that someone was pretending to be a store employee.

Daisuke:……

What kind of evil is this?

Why on earth did he choose syrup?

But Daisuke is the elite of Kirigakure Village after all, so of course he will not be knocked down by this small setback - Tang Xi is not good, he can still be familiar with other things?

Can't all other products be the same as syrup?

That very popular hero egg dream bag, it's not difficult at all once you hear it.

After learning from the pain, Daisuke decided to change direction.

What's so sweet or not? Do you think people outside Konoha Village know about it?

Of course not, so if he wants to understand, he has to start with the most famous ones!

So he approached Uchiha Shisui again and expressed his thoughts.

To say that ninjas are shrewd, they are like Leeuwenhoek per person when doing tasks, and they can definitely dig out even the smallest details.

But to say that they are honest, they are really honest at ordinary times.

At least they have no idea of ​​using the company's products for free.

Just like the developers of Sunagakure Village’s ‘Dream Pack’ chose to buy it, Daisuke never thought of getting it from the store for free.

After hearing his story, Uchiha Shisui smiled and nodded.

"I understand your appeal, so let's start with the blind box."

"Since you want to experience it, of course you have to start from scratch."

The boy kindly introduced the rules and gameplay.

"Then you try it first."

"But be careful not to get in trouble."

"I'll pay attention."

Daisuke said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.

How could it be possible for this kind of gadget that only ordinary people would be interested in?

Are you kidding? He is the elite of Kirigakure Village!

……

…………

"another one!!"

Until he shouted these words, he really planned to do so.
