Duanmu Baiyun of Konoha

Chapter 158
The owner of the bookstore also received news that the first batch of printed editions of Jiraiya's debut novel "Strong Perseverance and Endurance" has been released.

Duanmu bought 100 copies according to the agreement, which can already cover his certain cost for such a small workshop.

The rest depends on how much he can sell.

"Boss, you don't have to worry. Jiraiya-sama's name is still very useful. If you don't focus on Jiraiya-sama's debut work as a selling point, there must be many ninjas who will buy it."

"I hope, I'll sell it first. Brother Ninja, please give me an account first. If there is income, I will transfer it to the account every month."

It is also the first time for Zilai to publish a book, so Duanmu had no choice but to say: "Okay, I will give you the account when I come next time."

Duanmu was on the front shelf, picking out eighteen banned novels. Since Jing Yin left, Duanmu felt that these novels were also boring.

Randomly took ten best-selling [-] banned adult novels, and ten fresh copies of "Strong Perseverance and Tolerance", packed them together, and prepared to send them to Jiraiya at the front line, and asked him about his account by the way.

Subsequently, Duanmu went to Miyake teacher's home.

Teacher Miyake has really changed into a nerd, and he doesn't train with Duanmu, so Duanmu can only go to train with Tejiu and the others.

Jingyin has left the village. After 16 years, Duanmu can't see Mr. Miyake getting tired of being with his wife every day like this.

"Mr. Miyake, why don't we do some training recently, and we can't waste training just because we have returned to the village!"

Miyake coughed, and said, "Hey, my teacher has recently felt a little sick. I will train with you some other day."

Duanmu saw that there was no Odagiri in the living room, so he joked with Mr. Miyake: "It's okay not to train, but teacher, please don't let your body break down. A long flow of water is the way to last."

"That's why you underestimate the teacher, don't you know that you are good at work and hard at work, don't you know?"

"This can still be 'proficient in diligence'? Teacher, just don't become an exhausted cow." Duanmu also didn't want to see Mr. Miyake's show of affection: "Mr. Miyake, who are the acquaintances of Mr. Jiraiya, please make a list Come on, I'll deliver the books."

"Oh, has the book been printed? Wait for me, I'll write you a list."

After getting the list, Duanmu was about to leave, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Miyake, you asked me to buy all the adult novels you've been thinking about day and night. The bookstore owner said it was very exciting!"

As he said that, Duanmu put several novels with very hot covers on the coffee table of Miyake's house.

Xiao Yuki's voice came from the room: "What? What did Miyake ask you to buy?"

"Sister Yukiri, don't you know? Miyake-sensei likes to read these adult novels the most. Miyake-sensei said that he never reads pirated copies, only supports genuine ones, and only genuine illustrations are authentic. He also said that these novels It fulfilled many of his fantasies!"

Miyake's wife, Odagiri, came out of the back room with a feather duster, looking menacing and not to be trifled with!
"Odagiri, listen to my explanation. This little bastard Duanmu is taking revenge on me. Recently, Duanmu is running errands for Mr. Jiraiya. He is venting his anger on me. Do you think it is Duanmu?"

When Miyake turned around, Duanmu had already run away.

Duanmu holds a lot of books, and delivers books according to the list in Muye's village.

Minato Jonin, Kosuke-senpai, some ninja friends from the same period as Jiraiya, etc.

Shinobu Minato was very pleasantly surprised after receiving the book: "Mr. Jiraiya always said that he wanted to write a book, travel, and collect materials. I always thought he was joking, but I didn't expect him to actually write a book! Thank you, Duanmu."

"You're welcome, you should, Master Minato, the story in this book is still very inspirational."

Eighty or ninety books are almost delivered.

When a person has lived in a village for more than 40 years, he has many relatives and friends, let alone a ninja with such a reputation.

Only the last few books left.

Duanmu braced himself and walked towards the Hokage Building.

This is Duanmu's first visit to Hokage Building since he came to Konoha.

Duanmu, who has a slightly introverted personality, usually only trains silently and completes tasks silently, so it is difficult to have any intersection with Hokage Building.

I don't know how others are, but Duanmu really doesn't want to lead there anyway.

No way, I had to go.

Walking into the Hokage Building, registering the visit, and hearing that it was related to Sannin Jiraiya, the staff on duty let Duanmu in.

Duanmu walked upstairs slowly.

What should I do if I go to Hokage's office later?

According to the guidelines, Duanmu came to the Hokage office.

After Duanmu knocked on the door, a voice came from inside:
"Come in!"

Duanmu pushed the door open and entered, and on the main table by the window sat the third Hokage wearing a royal robe.

To Duanmu's surprise, consultant Mitomon Yan was also inside. I don't know that consultant Mitomon Yan was talking to Sandaime Hokage about something.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was sitting on a chair and smoking a cigarette. This young ninja seemed to have been seen somewhere.

"Hello Hokage-sama! Hello Advisor-sama!"

Mito Menyan first asked, "It's Duanmu, can you still get used to the life in the village?"

Fortunately, there was Mitomonyan Advisor, who could relieve some embarrassment. Duanmu said: "Fortunately, Mr. Advisor. But I still miss the days at the front."

The Third Hokage looked at Duanmu and asked: "Duanmu Baiyun? I remembered that I just became a Chunin last year. I was very impressed by your performance last year. You appeared in some key battle mission reports this year, which is very good." young people!"

"Thank you, Lord Hokage, for your compliment. I just completed the task seriously, and there are still many shortcomings in my ability."

Third Hokage exhaled smoke and said, "Then, why did you come to see me?"

"Master Hokage, let me deliver a book to you and Mr. Advisor."

Mitomenyan was surprised: "Book? What book?"

Duanmu took out two novels by Jiraiya from his bag: "When he came back from the front line, Master Jiraiya entrusted my teacher, Joshin Miyake, to handle the publication of the novel for him. Now that the novel has been printed, I will give it to you. You and Hokage-sama will send you two copies."

Hiru Zhan Sarutobi, the third generation, stopped smoking: "What? Whose novel? Jirao also writes novels?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi remembered the old story of Raiya stealing his collection of adult novels when he was a child. Are those wonderful novels that a ten-year-old should read?More importantly, it's fine to steal it after reading it, and it won't be returned to him, this traitor.

Mito Menyan became interested: "Bring it to me quickly."

Duanmu hurriedly gave each of the two big brothers a novel.

"The Story of Strong Perseverance and Endurance is not bad."

Mitomonyan watched with relish, and kept nodding.

Sarutobi Hiruzen III also saw the title of the novel, and Duanmu clearly saw disappointment on III's face, isn't it the subject that III likes?

"My lords, I'll go first. Call me again if necessary."

After Duanmu finished speaking, he left the office of the Third Hokage, leaving the two big bosses to discuss Jiraiya's unreliable past.
