That day, Konoha's large bathhouse exploded.

No, it should be said that the entire street, including parts of the area outside Konoha Village, was surrounded by violent vibrations and noises.

The white-haired middle-aged man at the front who was running around and hiding looked numb.

Jiraiya originally came back as a matter of routine to report the latest information to the teacher, and by the way, he could gather information on some leisure activities that could "relax physically and mentally" after a long absence.

Although he is helping the old man collect information, writing is his current job.

How could a conscientious writer not choose materials well?

And when it comes to this matter, he is also a habitual offender. Apart from flipping over a car when he was a child, he was only caught and beaten by Tsunade later on. Therefore, he didn't think there would be any surprises this time, so he casually arrived at the 'Feng Shui Treasure Land' and started happily collecting materials.

Then there is no more.

If he had known that he would meet these people, he would definitely not have chosen to show up today.

But there are never what-ifs in the world, and he can only run away in order to save his life.

And behind him, along with the earth-shaking attack, there was a roar like a ferocious beast:

"Fuck you to pieces, Peeping Tom!"

A large crater was hammered out of the ground outside, and spider web-like cracks spread all the way to the wooden wall of the bathroom.

Directly in front of the billowing smoke was a white-haired man running at an inhuman speed.

Because he was running too fast, it was difficult for people to see his appearance clearly. They could only notice the long white hair and the conspicuous red coat.

Behind him were several women dressed simply but with murderous intent.

Their anger is so vivid that it can almost be seen physically, causing everyone who sees it to instinctively retreat.

The man at the front split his body and tried to mislead them in the direction of their pursuit.

But it's no use.

Uchiha's fire escape is superb.

The red-haired woman's strange power didn't even leave a chance to commemorate the existence of those ****.

Punch after punch, holes appeared on the ground as if hit by a meteorite. The area they passed through looked like it had been hit by a tornado.

Although the young woman wearing glasses has no destructive performance, she can always detect the man's disguise most accurately and guide the other two people in the most concise language.

Like a ruthless guide.

——How did you find out?

But the most terrible thing is more than that.

In addition to the three young women, there were several men of different ages following him around.

Forget it about everyone else...

"Why is Uchiha here too!?"

Don't you Uchiha always only play with your own people in your own clan? ? ?

When did you come to the public bath? ?

While Jiraiya was roaring in his heart, he dodged a kunai stabbed by a curly-haired Uchiha.

Although the boy is not old, his shooting angle is very tricky. If it weren't for the fact that he was also a battle-hardened veteran, he might have been tricked.

Before he could finish thinking, he flexibly twisted his waist in an S-shape to dodge another Uchiha's shuriken with sparks.

This child is younger, but the shuriken and the sparks on it are not toys for 'playing house'.

You will definitely be injured if you get hit.

However, these two seemingly extremely precise killing moves were just feints.

The shurikens and kunai that he just dodged were actually tied with steel wires. These steel wires scattered around him were the real trump cards.

"Varied--"

The white-haired man looked panicked, as if he never expected that the two of them could cooperate like this.

Itachi, who was facing an enemy formally for the first time, could not help but feel a hint of joy on his little face.

"Itachi, don't relax!"

However, the next second, there was a reminder from Uchiha Shisui. The white-haired man cracked a bright smile and disappeared into the dragnet woven by steel wires.

.

It turned out that it was just a shadow clone.

"Did he escape!?"

Metkai, who came a step too late and only had enough time to wrap a towel around his body, had a look of anger on his face.

"Damn it! If only I could be faster..."

His face was full of unwillingness.

There was both anger at the voyeur and dissatisfaction with himself for not being able to use it.

"I'm too lax...Okay, today I'll walk home while standing on my head, and then do 10,000 one-handed push-ups!"

The young man didn't hesitate at all and immediately added a number to himself.

The person involved in the escape, Jiraiya, was patting his chest and relaxing.

Terrible terrible.

I haven’t been back to the village for a while. Are all the children in the village so scary?

Especially the two Uchiha.

How big is it? It looks like he hasn't gone to ninja school yet.

You can achieve this level of ability and coordination at this age.

The Uchiha was afraid that the new star would rise again.

But the big question is, who is he? He is Lord Jiraiya.

There are probably eight hundred people who have never done this kind of thing. How could it be so easy to be caught by a few juniors?

Then where can he put his face as a celestial being?

However, when he just breathed a sigh of relief, a gust of wind blew past him.

"Minato?"

Of course Jiraiya knew the identity of the visitor - after all, he was the disciple he raised, so there was no way he wouldn't recognize it.

The other party had no intention of concealing his identity and said cheerfully:

"Master, long time no see."

The young man's brilliant blond hair was still covered with water vapor, and the water hung down along the hair, and finally gathered together at the tips of the hair, falling down and submerging into his collar.

"Long time no see, Minato."

Jiraiya let down his guard to greet his long-lost apprentice.

"I heard that you are now the old man's important right-hand man? Congratulations."

"No, I'm just grateful for everyone's trust."

The young man still had a harmless smile on his face.

But the hand he raised touched his master's shoulder.

"You are too humble. The fact that you can be trusted is proof of your strength."

Jiraiya didn't care at first.

He even responded to his topic.

"The old man is not the kind of person who trusts just anyone."

The implication is that Namikaze Minato must be trustworthy because he is trustworthy.

"Ah hahaha, that's probably it."

The smile on Namikaze Minato's face deepened.

"Then I can't betray everyone's trust."

——?

What do you mean?

Jiraiya was vaguely aware of something bad.

At the same time, he also noticed that his student's hand had not moved down since it was placed on his shoulder.

"Watergate?"

"I'm sorry, Master."

He said sorry, but there was no expression of guilt on the young man's face.

"After all, I can't betray everyone's trust."

Jiraiya finally came to his senses.

Good guy, when I write this "everyone", I don't mean the old man, but those women who are like evil spirits!

Jiraiya immediately wanted to repeat his old tricks and run away. After all, he was still a master. He wouldn't be helpless after being held down by his apprentice - in that case, where would he put his face?

But Namikaze Minato smiled as if he had anticipated his actions.

"Master, I have been engraved with the mark of the Flying Thunder God."

——The implication is that no matter where you escape, it will be useless.

Jiraiya: "..."

Unfilial disciple.

How could he teach such an unfilial disciple?

But if he just gave up the struggle, then he wouldn't be Jiraiya!

So Jiraiya still quickly broke away from the shackles of his apprentice and showed his poss:

"I am Jiraiya-sama, the Insect Mosennin!"

"Oh? It turns out that the peeping tom is actually the famous Jiraiya-sama."

An eerie voice sounded from behind.

A monster-like aura and fluttering red hair appeared behind Jiraiya. The shadow cast completely enveloped him.

"K-Kushina..."

The smile on Jiraiya's face stiffened.

"Although I don't think Jiraiya-sama of the 'Sannin' would do such a thing, but..." Immediately afterwards, the black-haired intellectual beauty also stepped forward.

Different from usual, a pair of scarlet eyes with magatama looked directly at the other party.

There was a bright smile on her pretty face, but that smile was full of coldness and murderous intent.

What appeared in Uchiha Mikoto's hands were not pots and pans full of household atmosphere.

But kunai and shuriken are the "killing romance" of ninjas.

"Since you are Jiraiya-sama, you will definitely not deny what you have done, right?"

She approaches again.

"How could that be?" A third voice sounded, and the young woman with round glasses looked over with a smile.

"That's Lord Jiraiya."

That's right!

Jiraiya suddenly perked up.

At this time, there is still someone speaking for me... What a good person!

However, before he was happy, he heard what the man said behind him:

"Of course he will take responsibility well."

Rather than saying 'take responsibility', her tone was more like 'rectifying the law on the spot'... something like that.

Wearing glasses and looking harmless, the director of the orphanage smiled kindly. Her hands also lit up with the green chakra that is common among medical ninjas and represents vitality.

But as someone who has teamed up with medical ninjas for a long time, Jiraiya knows better than anyone else how lethal that green chakra can be.

"Right?" x3

"..."

Namikaze Minato caught the trace and took a few steps back to get out of the way, then shifted his gaze.

That day, violent sounds and vibrations continued for a long time.

It is said that men's screams were heard.

But the voice was too elusive, and there were no words that could be judged as human language, so in the end it was just regarded as some random talk like a legend.

——As for the rumors that a certain big shot in Konoha was seriously injured due to the failure of innovative ninjutsu, that will happen later.

For Ugetsu, it was just a matter of soaking in the bath and then everyone rushed out.

She wanted to go out, but there were several similarly confused children in front of her. She could only put down what she was doing over there and concentrate on looking at the girls in front of her.

Fortunately, the children are very well-behaved and have strong self-care abilities.

When the adults leave, they all clean themselves up obediently and stand out as someone who is obedient and capable.

Ugetsu actually breathed a sigh of relief.

When Ugetsu came out with the girls here, Kabuto Yakushi also came out with the boys.

A lot of things, well organized.

It can’t be said that one is less.

Almost all the ninja-born people ran away.

But after all, we were in Konoha Village and we were just catching a peeping tom, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Yes, Ugetsu is not a peeping tom.

It's just that arresting people has to be done professionally.

Yuyue smoothed his hair, which was still wet with moisture.

As for what happened afterwards...

That’s when it’s time to let the professionals in.

Then, a man with a big face, a bruised nose and a swollen face, and who looked seriously injured was brought to Yuyue.

To be honest, this look is really relieving, but it's also quite scary.

It always felt like it wouldn't be surprising if he was gone the next second.

"...Let me make sure first, can people really survive?"

It looks like there is more air coming out and less air coming in.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like you will be taken away by a professional team in the next second.

"no problem."

It was Uchiha Mikoto who answered Ugetsu.

The beautiful and gentle housewife always has a soft and friendly smile.

"Jiraiya-sama is one of the three ninjas, and he will never be affected by this small injury."

——It’s almost swollen into two pig’s heads and it’s still a minor injury?

Ugetsu once again refreshed his understanding of ninjas.

So what is a "serious injury" for a ninja? Is it really the kind that will kill you in the next second?

But having said that, Ugetsu never expected that this 'peeping tom' would actually be a person who seemed to have a high status in Konoha.

What to say?

Is this the quirk of the rich and powerful in the ninja world?

"What does Miss Ugetsu want to do with him?"

Pharmacist Nonoyu made the inquiry as a representative.

"...Am I coming?"

Ugetsu pointed at herself.

"As a victim and the host of this event, you certainly have the qualifications."

The three women had no intention of giving him any face, and provided various suggestions to Yuyue with smiles.

Pharmacist Nonoyu even pushed up his glasses and provided various information.

I don't know where she got it.

Even when he was a child, he was buried in the earth by Tudun and fell from the eaves.

If Jiraiya hadn't reacted quickly and stopped her, she would have had six ribs and wrists broken by Tsunade, and her internal organs would have been dug out.

——Who is this woman and how can she be so scary?

Jiraiya looked at the opponent with eyes as big as ping pong balls.

Sometimes, someone who knows all about your dark past and can read it out in public is more terrifying than an enemy who can fight face to face on the battlefield.

After all, the former is just a head nod with a scar as big as a bowl, but the latter is a public execution, and it is the kind that will follow you as long as you live.

As long as you live, there will be people who remember these dark histories, and they will be brought up for discussion from time to time.

"Glanced." (Stop talking)

Jiraiya made a vague cry with a swollen face that looked like it had been thrust into a hornet's nest.

Uzumaki Kushina also revealed Jiraiya's identity in a 'considerate' way...even the fact that he was writing a book and was actually an author.

Although there was no further violence.

But all the men present, young and old, all trembled and looked at the ladies in front of them with awe.

terrible.

too frightening.

You must not offend them in the future.

Otherwise, I don’t know how I died... Otherwise, people who are not usually angry are the most terrifying when they are angry.

Isn't this a living example?

——This time, I really have to thank Mr. Jiraiya for selflessly devoting himself to fight the thunder for everyone.

Otherwise, if it happens to you one day...

hiss.

"Not only that, he is also a well-known author with works such as "The Story of Strong Perseverance"."

"He's a writer?"

Yuyue was shocked.

"That's right!" After hearing this, Jiraiya was able to do it again.

"I am the only insect hybrid insect in the world and a best-selling author."

When he mentioned this, his body no longer hurt and his speech was no longer vague.

Clearly very proud of who he is.

"Now that you know it, why not..."

"Ji Lai Ya-sama?" Uzumaki Kushina's red hair turned silent again.

"What else?"

"Not yet..."

Jiraiya shriveled up again like a deflated balloon.

"No, nothing."

However, Ugetsu's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

Famous writers...in other words, just

Is he someone who has his own traffic fans?

That would be wonderful...

It's a pity that this work doesn't sound like a big IP...

wrong.

In fact, it’s ok.

Yuyue had a flash of inspiration.

Anyway, her current products also borrow the image of ninjas.

Then the story of the ninja can be used together to create an IP.

It just so happens that he is a famous author.

Then shaping it will get twice the result with half the effort.

If he works hard and writes three, four, or five volumes a year, he can update three, four, or five versions on his own.

At the same time, there are also season-limited, regional-limited, event-limited and various special bonuses.

Such as New Year's Eve, summer festivals, and swimwear.

It's a pity that Ninja World Festival is limited... I have to say it's a pity.

The more Yuyue thought about it, the more he realized that this was a wonderful thing.

But it didn't show on her face. She still had a dull face, looking at Jiraiya in front of her as if she was ready to collect debts.

"Cough cough."

She cleared her throat.

"I express my indignation and regret that Lord Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, would do such a thing, but everyone here is a generous person, so I won't sentence you to death for this...right?"

Yuyue said, looking at the people around him.

After several people looked at each other, they nodded to Yuyue.

Expressed his agreement with Shogyue's statement.

"In that case, I think that as long as Lord Jiraiya can atone for his sins, I believe everyone is still willing to give you a chance to correct yourself."

Jiraiya: ...

Instinct seemed to be calling the police.

"It just so happens that we have a new project ready to be launched now. I believe Lord Jiraiya will spare no effort to help us free of charge, right?"

Ugetsu smiled and leaned in front of Jiraiya, emphasizing certain words.

The girl's smile is kind and sweet.

But in Jiraiya's eyes, he was like an evil ghost from hell.

He tried to look to his apprentice for some help.

However, the friendly young man with beautiful blond hair just smiled slightly, then looked away, and came to his wife to inquire about her welfare.

Jiraiya:?

Is this what I taught you?

Do you just ignore Master like this?

His eyes scanned the other men present.

Let’s not talk about those Uchihas, but the others.

The Jarhead boy had an indignant look on his face, and the exposed single eye of Hatake Kakashi, his disciple, showed pity, sympathy, but powerlessness.

——God knows how he could express so many meanings with one look in such a short time.

As for the teacher's son who he gave his last hope to...

Sarutobi Asuma showed a wishful expression, and then turned his head.

It seems that I can't bear to continue reading.

Jiraiya: ...? ? ?

What's going on?

Didn't he come back to Konoha for a while?

Why have everyone in Konoha changed their appearance?

Do you stand by and watch your compatriots suffer?

"That's if I can do it..."

"Of course you can!"

Ugetsu's voice was as firm as ever.

"You are Jiraiya of the Sannin!"

"You are also a well-known best-selling author. This thing is completely tailor-made for you. If you can't do it, then others shouldn't even think about it!"

The girl said it with such certainty that even Jiraiya himself felt that it was very reliable. Especially when everyone else is acting strangely, it is a touching thing in itself for someone to take themselves so seriously.

——Although he still doesn’t know what kind of job it is.

"Believe me, your potential is endless, but it hasn't been fully demonstrated yet."

So sure?

"One day, your

The name will definitely be popular all over the country and spread all over the world! "

Yuyue said decisively.

"As long as you cooperate with me."

"...Then, that's not impossible."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Just continue your old business and write novels."

"……what?"

"I will give you the subject matter and the script, as long as you write it in this direction and publish it - I will take care of the other publicity and promotion work."

Jiraiya had a question mark.

But then again, shouldn’t writing be about writing one’s own story?

This practice of specifying subject matter content...

That's not his Jiraiya style.

Jiraiya was a little hesitant, but Ugetsu's face appeared in his field of vision again, and Jiraiya heard the girl talk to him lightly:

"After all, Jiraiya-sama doesn't want what happened today to spread all over the world and embarrass the third generation and the entire village, right?"

That must be the devil's whisper.

Although there was a slight accident in the team building of Ugetsu Store, overall it came to a very successful conclusion.

Everyone was satisfied and got what they wanted.

——Only one person was slightly injured.

Well, in a physical sense.

Jiraiya was lying on the hospital bed, using his only remaining hand to check the temporary demand list Ugetsu had given him.

It is better to say that it is the 'only one left' because the pharmacist Nonoyu specially focused on the hand with the least injury in order not to delay him from reading Miss Ugetsu's demand list.

other parts.

For example, the ruptured internal organs, the dislocated and fractured legs, and the remaining hand were all basically maintained in a state of ‘treatment, but not complete treatment’.

Of course, for ninjas, these injuries are not fatal injuries that require attention.

Just this result...

"When did the women of Konoha become so fierce?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"The women of Konoha have always been fierce."

A familiar hoarse voice came, and Jiraiya couldn't help but look towards the door.

I saw a familiar long-haired figure walking from the shadows of the door.

"Orochimaru……"

"Let me make it clear first that I am not here to visit you."

As Orochimaru spoke, he casually threw the fruit basket used for visiting patients on Jiraiya.

It hit him right where his internal organs had been ruptured from a previous beating.

"puff--"

Jiraiya, who was hit hard for the second time, barely managed to avoid spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Are you here to murder me!?"

"of course not."

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiraiya lying on the bed with caring eyes.

"It's Miss Ugetsu's new project, and we need your cooperation."

"Huh? Cooperation?"

I don't understand.

"What cooperation?"

"You'll know then."

Orochimaru said nonchalantly.

Orochimaru had long been accustomed to Miss Ugetsu's new demands that appeared from time to time.

I just didn’t expect that one day I would have to cooperate with my ‘old teammates’ again.

This made him feel somewhat complicated. At the same time, he also wanted to persuade Miss Ugetsu that it would be best to change his partner.

Although Orochimaru believed in Ugetsu's talent in business as much as he believed in his own skills, when it came to his old teammate, he was really dissatisfied and surprised.

No matter how you look at it, he is not a good partner.

Orochimaru paused, looked at him with cold eyes, and then said sadly:

"Jiraiya, you won't hold me back, right?"

Although what he said was just an ordinary question.

But Jiraiya clearly read the meaning of 'if you dare to hold me back, I'll kill you' and 'you'd better not kill me with my own hands'.

Jiraiya...Jiraiya is even more confused

Confused.

He almost shed the precious tears of a grown man.

What happened to Konoha?

Forget about those people, why are all my old teammates like this?

Is this targeting yourself?

During this time in Jiraiya's life when he was doubtful, Ugetsu was not idle either.

Although it is just adding items on the original basis.

But when it comes to ‘ip’, it is destined to become a big direction and big production in the future.

This forced Yuyue to prepare carefully.

Once you have a formed IP.

Then ‘Hero Eggs’ and ‘Dolls’ will no longer be the trivial products they are now.

Instead, it will be officially merged into the category of ‘periphery’.

And as we all know, around.

That is a real money-grabbing project.

Any IP can derive countless peripherals.

From figures to badges to towels to colored paper to standing signs...

Even daily necessities such as stationery, cups, plates, and pillows.

There is nothing that cannot be done.

Once you become famous, you can even collaborate with existing brands to create limited editions.

As long as she wants, she can even set a limit for each country.

Going a step further, you can also issue co-branded items from the five major ninja villages.

If you want to collect a complete set, you have to visit each of the five major ninja villages.

Even if the collector is a ninja, she can set up special tasks in various places, and only after completing them can she redeem the coupons.

If you are more arrogant, you can even set up a blind box here at the exchange.

The entire three or four models are placed there, but the redemption coupons can only be exchanged for one at a time.

To collect a complete set, you have to complete the task multiple times.

This will not only free up a wave of labor force, but also ensure that the difficulty of acquiring surrounding areas is limited.

This ensures that its value will not depreciate in a short period of time.

As for the management and execution of tasks...all the ninja villages are veterans and know more than themselves.

Once the cooperation is agreed upon, leave it to them and you can sit back and relax.

As for ninjas not being able to work elsewhere...

The leaders of the Ninja Village are really out of their minds if they don't want the labor of prostitutes for free.

Even if he is afraid that they will take the opportunity to inquire about the secrets of his village. Wouldn't it be better if they were not allowed to do tasks within the village?

Ninjas don't just wander around the village every day when they take on missions.

For example, what about helping a contractor farm?

What about shipping?

What about repairing houses or boats and bridges?

No matter how hard it is, you can go to a store and work as a free clerk for a day or something, right?

This won't affect the confidentiality of their village, so why can't they do it.

As long as there is life in your eyes, there are plenty of things in the world that you can entrust without affecting your own work.

Besides, don’t you often accept tasks yourself?

At least Ugetsu knew about Konoha's mission to take over the Wind Country or the Tian Country mission.

Ugetsu believed that these ninja leaders were not so rigid-minded yet.

Yuyue is happy.

Yuyue's abacus crackled.

Ugetsu grabbed Uchiha Shisui's hand.

"Shisui! We're going to make a lot of money!"

The girl's eyes were so bright, like lights illuminating the dark night.

And he likes this kind of light.

So the young man also laughed:

"Congratulations on that."

Yuyue just held his hand tightly:

"Why are you congratulating me? Of course it's us!"

As the chief assistant, how could he lose his share?

Now everything is ready, just waiting for Jiraiya to start working.

Of course, she was not a demon. Even if Jiraiya was injured like that, she would still give him time to recover.

Therefore, Yuyue considerately scheduled this meeting to the morning of the day after tomorrow.

After Jiraiya, who was still lying in bed, received the news,

Slowly, slowly, he typed a question mark.

——This is also called considerate?
