This is Kusagakure.
Scientific Ninja Tool manufacturing plant.
today.
Land of Grass It is still snowing heavily outside, and the cold winter wind is blowing slowly.
However.
at this time.
All the workers' faces were full of excitement.
After all, today... the wages are finally due!
To be honest, they have no expectations for wages. After all, they have been working for several months since Land of Grass, but they still have not received a penny.
Of course, everyone doesn't care about this.
After all, when they were at Land of Rain, they didn't have a job, were hungry, and were scared. But when they came to Land of Grass... they no longer had to worry about these things.
Not only do they now have a job, but as long as they work, their children can also have food to eat. What's left to be dissatisfied about?
The result was unexpected...
Kusagakure is actually giving them money now!
All the promises made by the leader at that time were fulfilled one by one, and he also said that they would be given holidays after their wages were paid!
So, at this very moment...
Although it was getting late, everyone still obeyed the orders seriously and stood there with their heads held high in their green labor protection uniforms issued by Land of Grass, their faces full of excitement!
Kawaisuke is one of them, and he is still standing at the front of the queue, looking at his wife and daughter not far away, and the corners of his mouth can't help but raise slightly.
At this time, even his daughter was standing quietly wearing the small green labor protection uniform issued to her by Land of Grass.
Don't tell me yet.
This dress is warm in winter and cool in summer. It's very comfortable to wear!
Of course, he was a little nervous at the moment. After all, Excellent Employee...
I don't know if I can get it?
Although Captain Yamato said that it had been registered for him and that there was absolutely no problem, when he actually stood here, he was still quite nervous!
Thinking back to some time ago... because he got too close to the spy, he was quite scared at the time. He was worried about being misunderstood by Grass Ninja, and then losing his job, unable to be selected, and even worried about whether his wife and daughter would be harmed.
You must know that Grass Ninja came to investigate in person!
At that time, he thought that he must be taken away. After all, Ninja-sama... is a very scary existence.
However.
They just asked him a few questions, and then did not take him away. They also told him to work hard. They had already investigated clearly that they had nothing to do with this matter, so there was no need to worry about being misunderstood!
Grass Ninja.
What a great group of people!
They actually believed him to be innocent without tortured him.
You must know that if it is other ninjas, regardless of whether they are innocent or not, they will be brutally interrogated first!
Thinking of this, Kawaisuke became angry again.
He had already come to Land of Grass to work, so why was Rain Ninja still so persistent that he sent people to infiltrate Kusagakure to find out the information?
Is it over yet?
Kawaisuke sighed melancholy in his heart. Fortunately, he thought that guy was a good person at the time and was ready to invite him to his house for dinner.
The results are all lies!
At this time.
Just when Kawaisuke was complaining in his heart that colleague Fei was a liar.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
He seemed to feel something, and he raised his head together with the others and looked upward.
When they saw the figure walking in, everyone's faces suddenly became excited.
The leader is actually here?!
The leader is here!
And the other side.
"That's the leader Land of Grass?" Kyusuke and Daibutsu also saw it, picked their noses, and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't look like anything special~"
Originally they didn't want to come, but Daibutsu was curious, and with Yahiko's invitation, they came over to take a look.
He pursed his lips and said in a somewhat resentful tone, "I might as well sleep in the dormitory! It's so boring!"
The words just fell.
"Shut up!" Daibutsu directly covered his mouth, looked at the eyes around him with embarrassment, and said with a smile, "This guy didn't do it on purpose, he just said something wrong!"
Really!
What are you talking about here?
Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?
Yahiko and Nagato next to him also looked at him helplessly. They knew that this guy... was actually a good person, but sometimes he was a bit arrogant.
But Konan... glared at him. She felt disgusted with everyone who scolded Teacher Amang!
Obviously Teacher Amang... it's so good when there are no homework assignments!
There are still people scolding Teacher Amang?!
How abominable!
"Are you still being arrogant?" Daibutsu glanced at the green labor insurance suit Kyusuke was wearing, "Listen honestly!"
"I, I... I only wear this dress because it was gnawed by a dog and I have nothing to wear!"
"I know." Daibutsu nodded expressionlessly. He didn't say anything about it, but simply said, "I heard that the person in charge of the engineering team came to you some time ago and offered you a generous salary. He wants you to help?"
"???"
How did you know?
Obviously I didn't say that!
Kyusuke's face suddenly froze, and Daibutsu also understood what he meant, and said calmly, "I submitted an application some time ago, hoping to get a short-term job. After all, I really don't have much money, but because I don't have any special ninjutsu that I am good at, I can't accept the task. Finally, the people above saw that I was quite tall and knew Water Release, so they suggested that I move bricks!"
"..."
"I heard that you also agreed?"
"No! No! That's impossible. I'm the one from Yuyu...Land of Rain!" But seeing the unkind eyes around him, he remembered the Rain Ninja spy incident some time ago and was worried about getting beaten. Kyusuke quickly changed his mind and said, "How can I work here? Let me tell you, I, Kyusuke, always do what I say, even if I die! Die here! Starve to death! I won't go!"
"Haha~" Daibutsu glanced at the well-fitting labor insurance suit on Kyusuke, smiled slightly, and said nothing more.
But this expression made Kyusuke feel like he had been stepped on, and he jumped up and said, "What do you mean? I, Kyusuke, do what I say, this dress is just an accident!"
"I believe it! Okay, quiet down, Grass Ninja Leader seems to have reached the critical moment!"
The words just fell.
Hearing the cheers from all around, Kyusuke stopped making trouble and looked at the scene in front of him quietly.
Although his mouth was pursed and deflated, when he saw the happy people around him, a faint trace of envy flashed through his eyes!
"Thank you for your huge contribution to Land of Grass. Land of Grass will never forget everyone's efforts! When you come to Land of Grass, you are one of our own! Let us create a beautiful Land of Grass together!"
As Kusana finished speaking, there was another excited applause on the field, and Kusana still had a smile on his face. Then he stretched out his hand and pressed it. After everyone became quiet again, "Now let's start this year's Excellent Employee selection!"
Under the gaze of everyone.
He took a deep breath and said, "There is an employee who has always been proactive during his work. He carefully studied business knowledge and mastered the key points and skills of the job in a short time, and applied them reasonably at work. At the same time, after get off work, he took the initiative to learn from the old employees to make up for his own shortcomings. He was not satisfied with the status quo and worked hard to learn advanced knowledge! He is..."
"Kawaisuke colleague from the first team!"
The words fell.
"?!"
Everyone was slightly stunned, even Kawaisuke was stunned.
He actually... really succeeded in being rated!
Not a moment.
The stadium burst into warm applause again!
Everyone applauded and looked at Kawaisuke who was still stunned, with a flash of envy and recognition in their eyes.
They also know Kawaisuke!
That is... the employee who is the first to rush forward every time he encounters difficulties!
"Hurry up! Kawaisuke! Don't keep the leader waiting!"
"That's right! What are you doing standing still?"
"Oh oh oh~, I, I..." Kawaisuke came back to his senses, looked at the eyes around him, and saw his wife and daughter not far away who were looking happy and raising their fists to encourage him. He immediately took a deep breath, "I'm going up now!"
Finished.
Under the gaze of everyone, Kawaisuke took his steps again, but his steps were a little stiff, like a primary school student receiving a little red flower for the first time.
Somewhat overwhelmed!
But he also walked to the stage after a while.
"Don't be nervous! Your work attitude is recognized by everyone!" Kusana gave him the certificate with a smile and said, "I hope you will work hard next year~"
"I, I... I will definitely work hard." Kawaisuke accepted the certificate excitedly and stuttered, "I will not let the leader down!"
"Now... let's say a few words to everyone!"
The words fell.
Under Kawaisuke's surprised eyes, Kusana gave up his position, and Kawaisuke... looked at Kusana blankly, and then turned his head blankly, looking at the people below who were looking at him expectantly.
Say a few words?
say what?
Suddenly, he was completely confused and didn't know what to say?
Even my legs were shaking. At this moment, my heart felt like I was going for an interview for the first time!
Nervous, scared, worried!
At this time.
"Kawaisuke (Dad)! Come on!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Kawaisuke immediately came back to his senses and smiled slightly at his wife and daughter who were shouting excitedly not far away.
Looking at his wife and daughter, especially their adoring and excited eyes... At this time, he seemed to be no longer nervous.
Holding the microphone tightly in his hand, he picked it up, took a deep breath again, and said with a smile under the gaze of everyone, "Thank you, chief, and thank Land of Grass for giving me this opportunity..."
