Chapter 5 The Art of Making Money 2

What caught Suzumiya Musashi's eyes was a piece of green cloth fluttering in the wind.

Familiar background music seemed to ring in my ears.

[Put on this green tights, you are no longer an ordinary person, you can no longer touch the lust of the ninja world, from now on, Danzo will stay away from you, your partners will despise you, and people will express their respect for you with their eyes: Konoha's sophomore has another little bitch around him. ]

"My favorite tights for physical training! It's breathable and moisturizing, and has perfect lines for convenience. Once you put it on during training, you'll immediately understand how wonderful it is!" Might Guy's voice interrupted the music in his mind.

Suzumiya Musashi looked at the tights in front of him and Might Guy who was looking forward to it.

I accepted it with joy.

"Great! Brother Kai! Thank you, I will definitely practice hard while wearing it!"

"Oh ha! It's just as I thought! Musashi, I'll go back and prepare for the mission now. We'll see you on the road of youth!"

After watching Might Guy leave, Suzumiya Musashi turned around and saw two figures peeping at the door.

Nojiri Oki said with resentment: "So Musashi, you don't want to hang out with me just for this rare big guy? Bastard!"

Ayame looked worried: "Musashi, that strange piece of cloth in your hand, throw it away!"

As if the force was not enough, she walked forward, kneaded the flesh on both sides of Suzumiya Musashi's face, and said: "Listen to your sister and throw it away. Absolutely! Absolutely! You can't wear that kind of weird thing on your body. It doesn't match your face, do you hear me?"

"What are you doing?"

Suzumiya Musashi pulled the hand off his face and said seriously, "This is not a strange piece of fabric, and it's more than just a piece of clothing."

"He is Brother Kai's recognition of my youthful ninja way! He is the shining light that guides me so that I won't lose my way on the ninja road! How could I throw him away?"

"There's more than one way to be a ninja, Musashi. Listen to your sister and try a different path, okay?"

"Sister Acorus, although I like you very much, I cannot agree to this one thing."

Seeing Ayame's somewhat disappointed expression, Suzumiya Musashi softened his heart and said, "At most...at most I promise you that I will not wear this dress when I work or see you."

"Since you insist... then fine. Musashi, you must not appear in front of your sister wearing this weird thing!"

Seeing that the two ignored him, Nojiri Oki stuck his head in between them, his small eyes full of dissatisfaction: "Hey! Hey! Can't you see I'm still here? Musashi, you only have eyes for Sister Ayame, right?"

"Right? I like Sister Calamus the most, you know that?"

"But you haven't been with me for a long time! How much time have you spent with me since returning to Konoha? Tell me!"

Nojiri Oki waved his hands.

"Have you forgotten the time we spent on the run together? Have you forgotten the happiness we had when we shared half a piece of cake? Have you really forgotten the wild vegetables we dug together in the morning and the cicadas we slept with at night?"

"Where did you put our bond, you bastard!"

Suzumiya Musashi: "(#-_-)...would you like to listen to what you are saying?"

Nojiri Oki: "(╬￣Van￣)"

Suzumiya Musashi: "Okay, okay! I have to start working. I'm late and there are already guests." Before Nojiri Oki went crazy, he said without turning his head: "Come home with me later. I'll find you if I need anything."

Nojiri Oki: “…Tsk! Got it. (￣^￣)”

Under the night sky, Ooki Nojiri followed Suzumiya Musashi, chattering about his boring life in the past two days and the new book published by his own publishing house. He emphasized that the author of "Intimate Paradise" had stable updates and high quality, and he was obviously an outstanding full-time writer.

Even when they were traveling together, Suzumiya Musashi already knew about the other party's small SP attributes, but he still lamented the precocity of children in the ninja world.

A child of only a few years old actually started to watch Tsubaki. Not only that, Nojiri Oki also told him that he also had excellent painting skills learned from his father.

After returning home, Suzumiya Musashi took out a piece of paper and a pen and said to Nojiri Ooki: "If I remember correctly, you said that your painting skills are very good, right?"

Nojiri Oki was immediately proud: "That's right, don't look at my young age, but I'm a good painter... Bah, good characters!"

Suzumiya Musashi pointed to the paper and pen on the table and said, "Then draw it. I'll tell you the requirements and see how your drawing turns out."

"Girl, you're just reaching maturity, so you should have some curves, but don't be too exaggerated."

"The painting style should be cleaner, preferably with a youthful and bright feel."

"Keep your smile pure, like the sister next door."

"These are the requirements first, then you can draw!"

Nojiri Oki was a little confused, but he habitually obeyed Suzumiya Musashi's request, took out special paper and pen from his bag, and started drawing.

ten minutes later.

"No, the smile is pure. Do you understand purity? It's not ignorance or stupidity."

"Curves! Curves! Youth can't be flat!"

"Flesh! Not the chubby kind, but the kind where clothes wrap around skin!"

Half an hour later, Nojiri Oki bit his brush nervously, waiting for Suzumiya Musashi's evaluation. The latter took the drawing paper and looked at it carefully, frowning slightly.

Just as Nojiri Oki was scratching his head, Suzumiya Musashi finally put down the drawing paper.

“It’s unexpectedly good!”

"Ha! I knew that my painting skills are superb!" Nojiri Oki suddenly became proud.

Suzumiya Musashi looked at the other party with a smile and did not refute.

The painting is really good.

After Nojiri Oki was happy for a while, he said, "By the way, did you bring the "Intimate Paradise" you mentioned?"

Nojiri Oki: "(￣?w￣?)..., didn't you say you wouldn't watch it?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you have any?"

"Yes, yes!" said Nojiri Oki as he took out a book with obvious signs of being flipped from his backpack.

Suzumiya Musashi took it and began to flip through it under the latter's obscene gaze.

After a while, Suzumiya Musashi closed the book, and Nojiri Daiki immediately came over: "How is it? How is it? The work I admire is good, right?"

Suzumiya Musashi thought for a moment and commented, "Average."

"generally?"

Suzumiya Musashi nodded and said, "Yes, the illustration style is top-notch, the production is excellent, and the story is complete. But..."

"but what?"

"But the story is average." The plot of the whole work can only be said to be passable. The selling point is still the good painting style, and the fresh emotions expressed in large paragraphs of text are also okay.

"Tsk!~" Nojiri Daiki was dissatisfied: "I think you did it on purpose. This is already the best on the market. Do you know? "Intimate Paradise" is very popular in major countries and ninja villages!"

"Okay, okay, you're right, this work is still very good." Suzumiya Musashi changed the subject: "Ohki, do you want to make money?"

"Making money? No." Nojiri Oki shook his head: "Our family runs Shueido, and I don't lack money to spend."

"I mean, do you want to earn some extra pocket money?"

"No." Nojiri Oki shook his head again: "The person in charge of Shueido is my uncle, and he treats me like his own son. I don't lack pocket money."

Suzumiya Musashi: "...Fuck!"

Nojiri Oki: "What do you want to say?"

Suzumiya Musashi thought for a moment and said, "It's like this, I'm short of money recently, and I need your help to find a way to make some money."

"That's it? I don't think it's a big deal! If you need money, just tell me. What's our relationship? What's mine is yours. Just say as much as you need."

"But you can't just go and find people all day like before."

Suzumiya Musashi was touched, but still shook his head and said, "This won't work. Even if your uncles are very kind to you, I can't take advantage of you. This is not a long-term solution."

"I need money for training. The training of ninjutsu, especially taijutsu, costs a lot just on food."

"These are fine, but the ninja tools, ninjutsu, and various training resources in the future will not be a small amount, so we must consider them early."

Being a ninja is an extremely expensive profession. The various blades and resources, including the large amount of fresh meat and vegetables that he now consumes every day, are not something that an ordinary family can afford.

It has only been a short time, but he has almost spent all the difference he made from buying and selling the house.

As for Kenta Suzumiya's mission merits, he didn't want to touch them now. After thinking about it, he knew that this thing was more valuable than money.

Nojiri Oki said, "Then how do you want me to help you?"

Suzumiya Musashi said, "Shall we publish a book?"

Nojiri Ohki: "Publish a book?"

Suzumiya Musashi nodded: "Yes! Publish a book! I recognize your painting skills! Next, I will provide the story and you will be responsible for the painting. We will cooperate and split the profits in half. How about it?"

Nojiri Oki was immediately interested. He was not interested in money, but he was very interested in creating his own work!

"Okay! I'll be in charge of the drawings, and you'll be in charge of providing story ideas, but is your story okay?"

Suzumiya Musashi patted Nojiri Oki's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Trust me, let's make it bigger and stronger together and not let "Intimate Paradise" take the lead!"

Nojiri Oki's eyes lit up.

"Okay! Musashi, let's start a revolution in the ninja world!"

"Well! Let's find an appropriate short story to practice and test the waters. So, Oki, I'll tell you to remember: Acheng is a Genin who is still training. On a rainy day, the Chunin sister Mina takes him home..."

Under the night sky, two little boys huddled in front of a light, working on their debut works. From time to time, sounds of "Siguoyi!" and "Hehehehe" could be heard in the air.
