Forget about those little unpleasantries on the road.

Ugetsu is still very interested in his first trip after coming to this world.

Regardless of whether the trip is pleasant or not, it is still worthwhile even if it is just for market research.

If you are working in the market, of course you still have to go to the market, and then you can start in a better way to fool... ah, no, to conduct business activities.

The first destination arrived was Tanshu Street, not far from Konoha Village.

Because it is an important transportation thoroughfare connecting Konoha to the outside world, it is also a well-known business district nearby.

Most people traveling to and from Konoha Village come here to stay or transit, and slowly the scale and prosperity are getting bigger and bigger.

Although it’s called a ‘street’, it can be considered a village in size.

Because of the professional care of pharmacist Nonou, Ugetsu's condition during this trip was much better than last time.

You can even go through it all from the beginning in one breath...that's impossible.

With Ugetsu's current physical strength, he couldn't do it at his best, let alone just recovering from the original debuff state.

But even if she couldn't walk from beginning to end in one go, it didn't affect her enthusiasm for visiting.

Anyway, there is no rush, she can read it in several times.

Yuyue sat in a roadside snack shop and took a rest while thinking about what he was going to do next.

In fact, it's not just Konoha Village, there are many old-fashioned shops everywhere in the world. For Ugetsu, this is a bad thing, but it can also be said to be a good thing.

The bad thing is that it will be even more difficult for her to compete with these people in the same field.

But on the other hand, if there are new tricks and new markets, then even if these people want to get involved, they will have to spend a lot of time.

And whether you can learn the essence and achieve success is another matter.

It's a pity, Jiraiya wished he could be faster.

So now you can prepare for promotion and then create figures, give rewards or limit the area?

No matter how bad it is, you can first get some gashapon machines and put them at the door so that the water can flow...

what.

Thinking of the gashapon machine, Ugetsu turned to ask Shisui.

“Do you know where I can buy gashapon machines?”

After hearing her words, the busy young man tilted his head and asked:

"What is a gashapon machine?"

The other three people accompanying him also looked over, obviously very curious about this new vocabulary.

"It's a machine filled with egg-shaped boxes, and then there's a switch that you can twist. Turn it once and an egg-shaped box will fall out. Only after you open it can you know what's inside."

"But you can post some pictures of the grand prizes outside in advance to let people know what will be inside."

——Of course, what takes up most of the space are classic junk...fashionable items.

Yuyue briefly spoke, but the few people listening looked like they didn't understand.

Okay, it seems there is no more.

Ugetsu quickly started thinking about making a simple gashapon machine.

In fact, this is also a way of playing the blind box, but compared with the blind box, the gashapon machine has new joys. Rather than taking it directly, the gashapon machine can also provide a sense of anticipation of ‘dropping’ and ‘opening’ again.

There is also a claw machine - the claw machine really involves some technical content. Then ask Shisui if there are any ninjas who can do such professional work.

……what?

Speaking of the coin response function of the gashapon machine, it seems that it also has some technical components?

In order to prevent someone from cheating and throwing □□ in, an identification function must be installed.

Ugetsu touched his chin and looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru:?

——I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel like pressure is coming.

Ugetsu quickly looked away.

There's no rush now. You can wait until Mr. Scorpion arrives... No, it's better to wait until he arrives.

That way, even if she can't do it now, as long as she delegates the task, something can always come out of the two of them competing on the same stage.

It's such a joy to be a party to a tender, especially a Ninja party.

The little calculation in Yuyue's heart crackled again.

Through the popularity of blind boxes, Yuyue discovered that people in this world accept this somewhat uncertain and exciting sales method well. Through the popularity of hero eggs and dream bags, it was confirmed that people here also have considerable purchasing power and The need for entertainment in nurturing, hands-on and other aspects.

In this way, there is still great potential in this direction.

But we can say more about how to do it and what products to use to better attract attention.

Tuanzhu Street is bustling and lively.

Although the battle between country-based ninjas has just ended, there is no longer any shadow of war here. The merchants shouted loudly, and the customers were studying the goods carefully.

It was exactly like an ordinary, very lively market.

--Right.

At this time, there are more business opportunities.

After all, war makes people panic and everyone is depressed. Now that we can finally have some fun, it will only be more lively than in the past, and we will be more willing to spend money.

Didn't you notice that even the expressions of the people responsible for the escort looked much more relaxed and happy?

Especially the ninja named 'Shiranui Genma', his eyes almost flew out.

The fact that a person can stand firmly here without moving is obviously a reflection of his loyalty to his mission.

“It’s been a long time since everyone went out so relaxedly.”

Noticing Ugetsu's gaze on Shiranui Genma, and the fact that the other party didn't even notice such an obvious gaze, Uchiha Shisui leaned close to her ear and whispered in her ear.

"In the previous wars, most of the missions that required going out were on the battlefield... so everyone hasn't been to Danshu Street for a long time."

"That's it."

Yuyue nodded confusedly.

Not being a ninja, she didn't know what kind of life a ninja lived during the war.

During the war, everyone was panicked. The short book street is also deserted and depressed. Who can be happy with such a scene?

Especially for the ninjas at that time.

‘Leaving the village’ is almost equivalent to ‘going to death’.

It is normal to die, but you are lucky to survive.

That's why Shiranui Genma lost his mind when he saw such a lively Tanshu Street.

Although we can also feel that "the war is fading away" based on the changes in the village, we can only truly realize this when we go out of the village and see the changes outside.

War.

It's really over.

They can live a good life without worrying that they will never see their relatives and friends again as soon as they open their eyes, or that every time they go out will become the 'last'.

"Okay, let's go shopping."

As a considerate and kind-hearted customer, of course you must satisfy your employees' wishes within the allowed range.

They don't need to rush, so what's the point of going shopping?

You can also do market research by the way.

After Ugetsu and his party had been eating, drinking and having fun for a long time, the people from Sunagakure Village finally arrived at Tanshu Street in the dust.

"...Every time I come here, I feel like this place is completely different from us."

Yashamaru looked at the streets with people coming and going.

Scenes like this are almost never seen in Sunagakure Village and the surrounding towns.

After all, there is wind and sand everywhere, and no one would eat a mouthful of sand just to walk outside for a while.

"Don't talk too much."

Luo Sha whispered.

"Don't forget that our goal is to make Miss Ugetsu feel happy when she visits Sunagakure Village."

"I understand."

Yashamaru nodded.

This is not his first time on a mission, so he certainly knows what to say and what not to say in front of his employer.

"Let's go, we can't keep people waiting."

Scorpion issued the final command.

Three figures wearing sand-colored cloaks quickly entered the short book street.

"what happened?"

Noticing the sudden movements of Uchiha Shisui and Shiranui Genma to raise their heads, Ugetsu also looked over curiously.

"Someone..."

Shiranui Genma wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Orochimaru as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The boy from Sunagakure Village is here."

As a quasi-kage-level ninja, Orochimaru noticed the arrival of several people from Sunagakure Village earlier than the two of them. It was precisely because he noticed it that he did not act.

Almost following his words, three hooded men walked in.

"Long time no see, Miss Ugetsu."

Arriving at the table where Ugetsu was sitting, the leader took off his hood, revealing his short red hair that looked like a burning flame and his delicate, doll-like appearance.

"Long time no see, Mr. Scorpion, who are these two?"

She looked at the two people behind him.

Doesn’t he look like the puppet master who worked for Ugetsu Store before?

If it were them, they would have taken off their hoods and talked about the benefits of the Dream Bag.

"I'm the one who came to pick you up together."

Xie briefly introduced their identities.

"Rasa and Yashamaru."

"Hello."

The first person to say hello was Yashamaru. He also took off his hood, a friendly smile on his beautiful face.

"I am Yashamaru from Sunagakure Village. I am responsible for your health along the way...Ah, I am a medical ninja. If you feel any discomfort along the way, you can tell me."

"hello."

Before the pharmacist Noonoyu finished listening, the smile on his face darkened for a second - medical ninja?

Isn't this trying to steal your job?

Although Yakushi Nonou sincerely looks forward to Ugetsu's recovery, that doesn't mean that any medical ninja can take his place.

Although he spends most of his time conducting intelligence work for the root, his identity as a medical ninja is also the pride of Yakushi Nonou.

So as soon as the other party finished speaking, she took over enthusiastically and introduced herself.

"I'm the pharmacist Nonou, and I'm Miss Ugetsu's doctor - if you have any questions or anything you want to know, you can ask me."

She did not give a sharp rebuttal, but rather expressed her willingness to communicate "generously".

It not only establishes the identity of a senior, but also implicitly expresses the meaning of ‘you, a newbie, have nothing to do here’.

Yashamaru was not stupid, so he could naturally sense the power in this.

But he didn't care - as a ninja, you can't be too thin-skinned.

So he responded with a warm smile:

"Then I'll leave it all to Senior Medicine Master - you must be very experienced in treating Miss Ugetsu for so long."

These words are also heartbreaking.

——‘Treatment for so long’, doesn’t it mean ‘not cured’?

And adding the sentence "I have some experience" includes the meaning of "I haven't been cured for such a long time and I haven't figured it out yet."

The two medical ninjas each had a smile on their face. But the atmosphere between them felt like an icy cold wind blowing through them.

The ninjas on both sides were also stunned.

They had thought that there would be some confrontation, but they never expected that it would start with two medical ninjas.

"The medical ninja from Sunagakure Village is very eloquent."

Orochimaru spoke in a hoarse voice.

He had no grudges against the brat named Yashamaru, but as a ninja of Konoha, he had to stand on his own side.

Otherwise, if Konoha falls behind, he will lose face.

"How can you compare to the ninjas of Konoha?"

Scorpio responded with a businesslike expression.

"When it comes to rich experience, no one can compare to you."

‘Experienced’ is actually basically the same as ‘experienced’. In a special context, they actually mean ‘it took a long time but it was not done well’.

"Ha ha."

"Humph."

The two people leading the team gave a polite greeting.

Luo Sha, who finally took off his hood, finally wanted to say something.

however……

Among the remaining people opposite, one was a child, and the other one seemed to have just walked in casually.

No matter who he looks for, they will only drop the price instead of finding a place.

Therefore, he had no choice but to stop thinking and go to the protagonist to introduce himself:

"I'm Luo Sha. I'm responsible for Miss Yuyue's safety and expenses along the way."

Overhead?

I love hearing what you say.

Is there such a good thing?

Yuyue's eyes lit up.

What was even more unexpected was that Orochimaru also spoke:

"That doesn't need you to care."

The gloomy-looking man smiled.

"Of course we will arrange for Miss Ugetsu's expenses along the way. After all, everyone knows the economic situation of Konoha."

——You just said that Sunagakure Village is poor?

Shiranui Genma was stunned when he saw this posture for the first time. He looked at this and that, and all the greetings he had prepared for a long time were useless.

No, are we cooperating? Shouldn't we come up and have a friendly exchange first?

Why is this so targeted?

And the two main players are their respective team leaders.

Is this the Orochimaru-sama he knows?

Is this the 'Red Sand Scorpion' he knows?

For a moment, Shiranui Genma felt that the world was magical.

"Used to it."

When Uchiha Shisui arrived, he patted his arm with understanding and whispered comfort.

As a founding employee of Ugetsu Store and someone who had witnessed the two cooperate and compete several times, Uchiha Shisui was very calm about this.

Anyway, this is not the first time, and it will not be the last time visible to the naked eye.

Shiranui Genma: "..."

Is this something you can get used to?

Having said that, will this really not cause a crisis in cooperation between the two villages?

With deep worries, Shiranui Genma began his journey of shattering his three views.

To be honest, as a ninja who can survive the war with all his beards and tails.

Shiranui Genma can definitely be said to be experienced and well-informed.

However, everything that happened in the past few days was something he had never seen or even heard of in his life.

Every day made him doubt the experience and common sense he had accumulated in his previous ten years of life.

——At least before coming here, he never thought that one day he would see two ninja villages competing to pay people.

Normally, don’t mention paying the other party.

A peaceful breakup is always a good thing.

In this situation that the ninja could not understand, he watched Miss Ugetsu buy a fine carriage, experience all the delicious local specialties - and buy new clothes for everyone .

——Because she felt that it was a rare trip out, so everyone should bring some souvenirs (mostly beautiful) with them.

It’s not that the standard features of Konoha and Sunagakure are not good-looking—it just doesn’t have much to do with aesthetics.

At least the green vest and the sand-colored vest are quite eye-catching.

Although she looks good wearing a sack, who can bear to let a beautiful boy and girl wear a sack?

Seeing that the men and women in front of her were all wearing clothes that suited their body shape and temperament, Yuyue nodded with satisfaction.

This is right.

As for whether it will affect their movements... to be honest, it is not easy to find daily clothing in this world that is complicated enough to affect their movements.

Basically, it’s just the basics of T-shirts, jackets, and pants, and then I change some colors and patterns.

It's so monotonous that it makes me cry. It's true that it's hard to find something nice and special.

But it doesn't matter, Ugetsu comforted herself.

This means that there is another huge market waiting for you.

When the number of repeat partners increased, and the talents and assets at hand also caught up, she entered the clothing industry.

That shouldn't be a big deal.

Thinking of this, Yuyue turned regret into motivation and bought a bunch more.

Even when Luo Sha expressed that she wanted to pick out souvenirs for her family, she took care of everything.

"It doesn't matter, buy them all."

"Is one enough for each person? How about a box? The probability of shipment is higher if you hold a box."

"How can you only buy one flower? Do you have 99 flowers? Just treat it as a wedding anniversary...what? You are not getting married this month? It doesn't matter, what is important is the concept and atmosphere."

"Actually, I suggest you have a candlelight dinner... Don't worry, leave the decoration to me. I guarantee that it will be beautiful and romantic for you."

Create concepts when there are no concepts.

Look at those festivals and anniversaries, which one doesn’t come from this?

There are also products such as Ping An Guo and Valentine's Day chocolate. Which ones are not created because of concepts and feelings?

Even many places that did not originally have this holiday or custom will celebrate it together because they like the beautiful meaning represented by this day.

As a result, there are many festivals that have nothing to do with the local area, but are celebrated or cared about all over the world, and there are corresponding "festival products".

Humans are inherently perceptual creatures. Now that we have a concept, are we still afraid of not being able to find products to sell?

As long as it matches the concept and meets people’s blessings and expectations for a better life. Even sand can be sold at a high price - think of the lavender bottles that were popular all over the country. Just put some colored sand in the bottle and add a little bit of lavender and you can sell it for several dollars.

If there were some more legends like, 'If you go to xx with the person you like and know how to bring sand, you can grow old together'.

It is estimated that in the end they will have to transport sand from other places to meet the demand.

Ten thousand plans flashed through Yuyue's mind.

Luo Sha... The people of the simple Sand Hidden Village were stunned by Ugetsu's attack.

He could only keep nodding in agreement, and then solemnly asked Yuyue to help him make suggestions.

After all, he is not even an amateur at these things, nor does he have anything to do with getting started.

In this situation, it is really a relief to have someone to help you make suggestions.

Then I bought a lot of specialty products and put them in.

——Of course, she wasn’t the one paying.

Although it was Miss Ugetsu's blessing, they could wear new clothes, sit in a high-end carriage, and hit the road in an unprecedented relaxed state.

But this is too...

"Master Orochimaru."

Shiranui Genma finally couldn't help but found an opportunity to get close to Orochimaru and asked about his worries.

"Is it really okay to continue like this?"

Where can I find a ninja who pays for an escort mission?

And it’s not just the cost of transportation, but also the cost of food, accommodation, and specialties.

How should I explain this when I go back?

However, Orochimaru didn't care.

"Don't worry, we have sufficient funds."

"..."

This is not a matter of sufficient funding.

Shiranui Genma scratched the back of his head.

If Sand Hidden Village wants to spend money, let them spend it!

Isn’t it delicious to have sex for free?

Why are you still fighting for the opportunity to spend money? Isn't this a loss-making business?

Shiranui Genma tried to make Lord Orochimaru understand, as if he was under an illusion, but the other party had already made up his mind and was not prepared to ignore him.

Confused, he had no choice but to walk away full of questions.

——After all, for ninjas, the relationship between superior and subordinate is absolute.

Unless there is an accident, lower-level ninjas have no right and cannot question the decisions of their superiors.

A ninja who can become a superior must be someone with more experience and insights. Compared with lower-level ninjas, they have experienced more, and have even faced life and death crises many times.

Therefore, in many cases, it is this experience and insights that can lead the entire team to turn a corner.

And after seeing that Yakushi Nonou and Uchiha Shisui were both calm, Shiranui Genma was also relieved.

After all, even if he is not relieved, there is no way to change it.

As for Sand Hidden Village, it's actually similar.

Although Luo Sha has collected a lot of gold dust, his many years of frugal ninja career have made him accustomed to spending money wherever he can.

Faced with Scorpio's lavish approach, he was somewhat reluctant.

"Scorpion, do we really want to continue like this?"

"No money?"

After hearing Luo Sha's words, Xie's first reaction was that he didn't have enough money and it was time for Luo Sha to go gold mining again.

"Enough is enough, but is it really necessary?"

Luo Sha felt that if they only considered sincerity, they had already prepared enough.

Again, they were escorted by elite ninjas, and they were willing to bear the travel expenses.

I heard that the village also specially carried out renovations.

"of course."

Xie said calmly.

"The main purpose of coming out to greet him this time, besides bringing people safely to Sunagakure Village and not giving Konoha ninjas a chance to cause trouble, is to gain favor."

"If you can't show a heart-warming side, why would Miss Ugetsu abandon the rich Konoha Village and have a favorable impression of Sunagakure Village?"

Luo Sha was stunned for a moment.

——This is true.

Luo Sha was born in Sand Hidden Village and has long been accustomed to everything in Sand Hidden Village, so naturally she won't feel anything bad about it.

But Miss Ugetsu is different.

She comes from Konoha, which is already rich.

Everything he saw and heard was also the good side of Konoha.

If you want such people to have a good impression of you and Sunagakure Village and thus influence your decision, you will have to pay a higher price.

Then consider the other person’s dedication when helping him choose souvenirs for his family.

"I understand."

Luo Sha nodded, even if he was just grateful for this kindness, the money should be spent.

——At worst, he will use Magnetic Escape to get some placer gold later.

He even found his brother-in-law with a frown:

"...Yashamaru, if you have time, you can visit Miss Ugetsu more often."

When it comes to good looks, Yashamaru is no worse than those others.

You can still get more impression points.

Yashamaru: "..."

On Orochimaru's side, Shiranui Genma came to make Orochimaru realize something.

That is, their funds are really not as sufficient as expected.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who would have thought that the people in Sand Hidden Village would be so risking their lives.

You must know that it is Sunagakure Village, the one with the worst economic situation and the worst environment among the five great ninja villages.

And Orochimaru actually didn't know how much money the ninjas from Sunagakure Village brought.

Will similar situations occur in the future?

If this happens a few more times, the existing funds will definitely not be enough - of course, Orochimaru himself must be rich.

As the famous 'Konoha Sannin', he has done A-level and S-level missions one after another. Of course, he has his own family background.

But it was his own money, and it was all arranged.

How could it be used for Konoha's mission?

Be generous and be generous to others.

So Orochimaru thought for two seconds and then sent a message to Konoha.

There’s no other meaning, just two words:

ask for money.

And in addition to his master, the Third Hokage, he also specially wrote a payment application to Shimura Danzo.

No matter what, they are still allies now, and the reason why Orochimaru appears in the escort team is because Danzo Shimura found him.

——He believes that going to Sand Hidden Village at this time will help accumulate Orochimaru's reputation.

The competition has become fierce, and Danzo Shimura will do everything he can to make Orochimaru take over.

In addition, Orochimaru understands technology. When the time comes, he will go to Sunagakure Village to see the workshop there. If he can learn how to bring it back, then all the products in Ugetsu Store can be made by Konoha alone.

To be honest, Danzo still felt uncomfortable seeing so much money being made by outsiders.

In this case, Orochimaru would naturally not be polite to him.

Materials and remittances.

Want whatever you want.

As for Shimura Danzo’s expression when he sees the bill...

What does that have to do with him?

I just acted according to the other party's instructions.

Under such overt and covert struggles, Ugetsu's first 'trip to the Kingdom of Wind' went smoothly.

The carriage that had been transformed by Orochimaru and Scorpio was more comfortable than imagined.

The excellent shock absorbers only feel a slight shock even when walking on bad roads.

Although the comfort level can only be said to be passable, it is still much better than the last time I went out like a human body roller coaster.

Yuyue was very satisfied, and even thought that he could go back and set up a special production line, and negotiate with those noble and wealthy businessmen to provide high-end and supreme customized services.

How can I only travel in a luxurious car? Of course it has to be luxurious and comfortable.

A distinguished person must travel in a manner consistent with his status.

As for the price...

Since it is 'noble', wouldn't it mean to look down on the worth of the nobles if it is sold cheaply?

Of course, the price must be in line with the value.

But this is not what we need to do now. We can wait until we get to Sand Hidden Village to talk about it.

As for now, of course, I want to enjoy the joy of traveling.

Chat and eat and drink on the way, and when you get to places, buy and buy to contribute to the local GDP. This is what a qualified tourist should do.

——Only the ninjas who were forcibly changed by her were very uncomfortable.

Nothing else, because it's so comfortable.

No need to rush, no need to sleep in the open air, use the earth as your bed and the sky as your quilt.

What he ate was not Bing Liang Pills and random prey, but delicacies that had been packaged in the restaurant.

Even though I'm on the road, I can still eat ramen - it's really incredible.

In fact, Ugetsu also found it incredible.

The time she and Shisui came out before, she thought it was because she was too poor that they could only make do with food and sleep on the road.

Only when she came out this time did she realize that it was not because she was poor and the commission fee was low, but because this was the normal behavior of ninjas when they went out.

They are really used to traveling in the simplest, crudest and most economical way possible.

"Want to take a break?"

Seeing how uneasy Genma Shiranui was, Uchiha Shisui asked in a considerate voice.

"...No, it's not."

Shiranui Genma shook his head.

"It's just that, it's too..."

"It doesn't matter. Miss Ugetsu has always been generous to those who work for her."

——Is this a question of whether to be generous or not?

Shiranui Genma's eyes swept over the several Suna ninjas in front of him, and he relaxed when he saw that Rasa and Yashamaru looked as awkward as him.

It seems that this is not my problem.

But because he had been shocked so many times before, he was a little numb now.

Isn’t it just a comfortable trip? Who hasn’t tried it? (Although he has never tried it himself)

However, even if it is a modified carriage, there are still many difficulties that cannot be overcome.

For example, climbing over a mountain or crossing a river.

The infrastructure of the ninja world is really only a little better than zero.

The places where people gather and the roads that must be passed are better. There are basically roads and bridges.

But other than that, the place is completely pristine.

But for the ninjas, this is not a big problem.

So when they arrived at the place, several ninjas cooperated with each other tacitly, either using ninjutsu to resist the car or using ninjutsu to lead the horse, directly crossing the river and climbing over the mountain.

This is too tough.

Where can anyone carry a cart and a horse over mountains and ridges?

But when he thought that this was a ninja, Ugetsu, who was lying on Uchiha Shisui's back, silently swallowed what he wanted to say.

Ninja, a profession that makes the impossible possible.

It’s just carrying a carriage and horse over mountains and ridges, what’s so strange about it?

After crossing the mountain, they put the carriage down again and tied the horses - it was an exquisite and comfortable traveling carriage again.

This imaginative way of traveling once made Yuyue wonder whether there was really a need to open mountains, build roads and bridges in this world.

After all, there are bugs like ninjas. They can use the human body to complete the "shortest straight line between two points" journey.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

This time it was Yashamaru who spoke. Before he finished speaking, several people who were staying in the car on shift looked at Ugetsu.

The person involved didn’t even react.

"I think you don't look well."

Yashamaru expressed his concern sincerely;

"Do you need me to help you with treatment?"

"Ah, no no."

Yuyue quickly shook her head.

"I was just thinking about something..."

Before she could finish her words, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Next to her, Uchiha Shisui suddenly looked serious and assumed a vigilant posture.

Luo Sha, who had been sitting in the car like a stone statue, turned over and got out of the car, and at the same time did not forget to say:

"Miss Ugetsu, please don't get out of the car. No matter what happens, please don't leave the escort ninja."
