Chapter 275 Your book is published, where is the promised remuneration?
"Stop talking, I have a headache."
Jiraiya poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and then had a second glass, and a third glass. After three glasses of wine, he began to complain bitterly:
"I admit that I am sorry for Sheng Shu, but children of this age are too difficult to appease."
"Although they will be sensible and not make a fuss, it is very difficult to appease them once they are angry."
"if not."
Jingyi slowly put the meat on the grill and said leisurely:
"You can only take it step by step, make up for the lack of companionship, be as nice to him as possible, and let him feel your care and attention. You can't expect to reconcile in a short time. You can only rely on time to make it happen."
"But there is good news."
"What good news?"
I never understood why.
I'm in this state, what good news can there be?
Jingyi laughed and scolded:
"You asked for it. You can't blame others. The good news is that Nawaki is an optimistic person with a straightforward personality. For such a person, if you are nice to him, he will remember it. You should be thankful."
"If someone is petty and encounters such an incident, he will hate you for the rest of his life."
Jingyi was not joking, this situation was very common.
In addition, children in the ninja world mature earlier, so if you offend him, he may really hold a grudge against you for the rest of his life.
But being hated in the ninja world is not a good thing.
There are too many examples of people getting into big trouble because of holding a grudge against someone. After all, the ninja world is not a peaceful society like in the past.
What can a peaceful society do even if it is angry?
If someone stabbed you a few times with a knife, that would be considered as the end of the world.
But in the ninja world, stabbing someone with a knife is just child's play.
What you're afraid of is that the person you've offended will do something weird in secret, come up with some terrible ninjutsu, or keep enduring it and finally give you a big beating.
Look at the future Third Kazekage, he was killed by this kid called Scorpion of the Red Sand.
You started a war, which led to the tragic deaths of my parents, right?
The war was lost!
Since my enemy, Hatake Sakumo, is dead, I cannot take revenge, so I will kill you and then make you into a puppet.
Let’s look at that jealous classmate of Orochimaru. Because he was sensitive, he was not taken seriously. In the end, he did some horrible research, which indirectly and directly killed many people.
In the ninja world, a little Karami can give you a burst of energy.
Fortunately, that happens to ordinary people, and Jingyi doesn’t need to worry about this happening to himself.
Explosion?
I'll see how big you can get.
"Forget it, tell me what happened in the past two years."
Jiraiya, who didn't have much clue, became more and more worried the more he thought about it, so he decided to ignore it for the time being and first understand what happened in the ninja world in the past two years.
As he had to take care of the three members of Akatsuki organization alone, he didn't have much time to gather intelligence.
The time for occasional trips out is always limited, and I don’t know whether the information I collect is true or false.
"Nothing serious happened. You hid in the Rain Country."
Jingyi ate the barbecue and narrated slowly: "With the end of the Rain Country War, a full-scale war between the village and the Sand Village broke out. By the way, the senior was rewarded by the daimyo for his great contribution and was given the privilege of wearing the Hokage half-sleeves."
"Wait!! Which senior? What is a Hokage half-sleeve? What about the one you are wearing? This is the Hokage robe, right? It looks better than the one the old man is wearing."
Jiraiya was a little confused because what Jingyi said was brief and not detailed.
"Who else could it be other than Sakumo-senpai?"
Jingyi Xiaoxiong spread his hands, looked down at the clothes, and joked: "This is a reward given by the Daimyo. Sakumo-senpai wore it, and if I don't wear it, wouldn't it be a slap in the Daimyo's face? Do you think I like wearing this thing?"
"its not right."
Jiraiya still doesn't understand:
"Why is Sakumo-senpai's reward a Hokage half-sleeve, and yours a Hokage robe?"
"Because I have made greater contributions."
Jingyi laughed out loud.
"........."
This joke is not funny at all.
Jiraiya was stunned on the spot.
"In fact, Orochimaru also had a chance to get one, but this guy was more pragmatic. He chose the monetary reward, so the daimyo rewarded him with tens of millions of ryo. That's right."
Jingyi suddenly thought of the novel written by Jiraiya: "Didn't you say that I would get a share of the royalties after the novel is published? Where's the money?"
But don't underestimate Jiraiya's writing of small imperial books. This guy makes a lot of money from writing small imperial books.
When it comes to making money, Orochimaru and Tsunade together would have to admit defeat to Jiraiya.
They have many ways to make money, and they make a lot, but the Little Emperor's book is so popular that Jiraiya's book is spread even more widely.
The royalties came in like a flood.
"........."
Good man, I thought you had forgotten it, but it turns out you still remembered it.
"This, that........."
Jiraiya smiled shyly.
"Yes or no!"
Jingyi leaned forward a little and got straight to the point.
Don't give me the fucking hesitancy. You must have made a lot of money. If you have, then keep your word and give me my share.
Otherwise you'll be in trouble.
"Okay, here you go. I thought you forgot about it."
Money, so sad, Jiraiya took out a scroll depressedly:
"The list is in there. This is your copy. I have prepared it long ago."
Jingyi didn't bring it up, and Zilai didn't say anything either, but he did divide the money.
Giving Jiraiya a look that said "you better know your place" Jingyi put the scroll away.
Money is a bastard, but we really can't live without it. Besides, who would complain about having too much money?
Even though it hurts, it's impossible for Jiraiya to go back on his word, so he's done with it.
"So, the war between our village and the Sand Village will be over soon?"
Jiraiya couldn't help but smile when he heard Jingyi talking about the peace talks.
If possible, he didn't want to go to the battlefield to fight. Compared to others, Jiraiya naturally hoped for peace in the ninja world.
Just because he was willing to fight for the village didn't mean he liked war.
Jing nodded: "The Sand Village is already at the end of its strength and can't hold on for too long. It's just that your teacher, our Hokage, doesn't want to negotiate directly. He wants to negotiate as a winner."
"According to the current situation, the Sand Village must raise the white flag in three months at most."
The Sand Village's financial resources have been exhausted, and the period from the end of the year to the beginning of the new year is the most difficult, after all, the harsh environment of the Wind Kingdom is there.
The supplies could not be sustained, there was great resentment among the people in the country, and Konoha was determined to continue fighting. The Sand Village had no choice but to surrender.
Although they tried hard to persuade the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Konoha did not accept the Daimyo's kindness.
"Alas~~~ It would be better if the war ended sooner. Too many people in Konoha sacrificed their lives in this war."
Jiraiya doesn't like war, and he dares to say this in front of the Third Hokage.
"I think you'd better pray that the war ends later, otherwise you will have a hard time."
Jingyi picked up the juice and took a sip. As for the wine poured by Jiraiya, he pushed it aside.
Who would drink sake if they were serious?
"why?"
Will my life become difficult after the war ends?
What kind of weird logic is this?
Looking at Jiraiya who still hadn't figured out the situation, Jingyi asked with a smile: "Let me ask you, what was the thing that the village accumulated the most during the war?"
