Title: For the Art!
"One Piece? Comic?"
Shamon, who was studying and perfecting the Magnet-Style technique, was really taken aback.
"Yes Teacher, the books they bring are not useful knowledge at all, but entertainment books."
Zack said and was a little worried.
Knowledge can make people powerful, but this kind of recreational book will only corrupt people's fighting spirit.
Shamon opened the comic and began to read it.
After a few seconds, Zack asked nervously: "Teacher, what do you think?"
"Not bad, the story is quite interesting."
Shamon answered after reading the first chapter.
"That's it? Don't you think it is an alternative poison!"
Zack said.
Second-Kazekage glanced at him, then put down the comic and the research scroll in his hand, he sat in a chair and said, "Zack, it's okay, the war is over."
When Zack heard his Teacher, he was stunned for a moment, then his voice rang in anger: " The current Hidden Sand Village is far from the rest, so how can we enjoy this kind of thing!"
"Zack, you have to understand that the policy during the war period may not be applicable during the period of peace."
Shamon said with a serious expression while shaking his head, "If we do our best to develop combat readiness and strength, what's the point of spending a lot of resources on the Chunin Exams."
Zack wanted to say something but didn't refute it in the end. He just said unwillingly, "So Are we just letting them spread like it's nothing?"
"Of course not."
Shamon got up and walked out.
He has already decided in his mind, and he was just not satisfied with Zack's performance before.
Since the First Kazekage, Zack has been cultivated as a successor since he was young.
However, until now, he still has not been able to become the perfect Kazekage he wants.
…
"Akabane, here they come."
Kurama Shanyuan felt their Aura and immediately poked Akabane solemnly.
"It doesn't matter, even if it is banned, we will not lose much."
Akabane indifferently said while shaking his head.
Even if they were banned, they paid only a few comics, and Akabane had already received nearly a hundred points, so he really didn't care much.
"Really?"
Kurama Shanyuan didn't understand it, but he didn't ask, lest Kazekage hear anything.
In less than half a minute, the Second Kazekage arrived.
As soon as he appeared, under his strong aura, everyone immediately stopped working-including the child outside.
"I greet Lord-Kazekage."
Kurama Shanyuan bowed and saluted, Akabane and the others would naturally not neglect the etiquette.
"You don't need to be polite. I heard from Zack about your book and realized that I misunderstood your book. So I hereby apologize seriously."
Shamon bowed slightly after speaking. No air of being a Kazekage was seen on him.
After that, Zack did not understand.
Why do you want this?
"Presumably, Zack's little brother has already mentioned it to you. In fact, ours is not the knowledge books you are looking forward to, but just some comics."
Akabane said and picked up the said comic.
"Of course, I already knew."
Shamon nodded his head, he found a stool and sat down, with an expression of "kindness" on his face, but due to his aggressive nature with his scary face, the kind expression he wanted to portray was not achieved like Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Then about our purpose, you must understand."
Akabane laughed, judging from the expressions and actions of Shamon, the other side does not intend to prohibit it.
And this is enough.
"I read the first chapter, and it's great for leisure time, but Hidden Sand Village does not have that many people, so I don't think the caravan needs to come."
Shamon said.
"Do you mean that you will send someone to our shop?"
Akabane understands what he means.
"You sell this "One Piece" in Land-of-Rivers, and we can go there and buy it."
Shamon said with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"This saves us a lot of expenses, but I hope the Comic you bought will only be circulated in Hidden Sand Village."
Akabane said knowingly.
Sure enough, The Rebel leader from before is a Spy from Hidden Sand Village.
Shamon must have received the news and collected considerable information, guessing that the spy he sent was likely killed by the Ninja of Konoha.
But there is definitely no evidence, otherwise, it would have been exchanged for more benefits.
Now Hidden Sand Village does not care about the Rebel Spy they sent, and Akabane also didn't care how many comics they buy and whether they will print it after buying.
The two sides turn a blind eye on each other doing, so everything is fine!
"Happy cooperation. "
Shamon nodded, he got up and left.
Zack froze for a moment, and then followed Shamon like a puppy.
And when they reach Kazekage's office building, he can't help asking: "Teacher, what should we do next? "
"What do you think? "
Shamon each minding their own business opened the door and casually asked.
Zack began to think.
As a Kazekage successor, he was quite qualified. It's just that his thinking is a bit radical.
But now that the stone has been set, his thinking should also change.
After thinking for a while, Zack answered: "Use the plot of the ocean in the comic to inspire the peoples fighting intent. "
"What else? "
"Make the comic as a reward, and the winner can be rewarded. "
Zack continued.
When he said this, his eyes became brighter.
"Anything else? "
"And… by the way, we can also print some and sell them to other places in Land-of-Wind at a lower price. "
Shamon was taken aback when he heard the third statement and looked at him strangely.
Zack was a little uncomfortable seeing his teacher's gaze, and after thinking about it, he realized his stupidity, the Land-of-Wind is so poor, so how can an ordinary person buy it.
"What you said is right, but only those are not enough. "
Shamon said and after a while, he continued, "I will put some comics on the first floor, so the villagers and ninjas can read it for free. "
"If you do that teacher, then what reason does the rest of the people work hard for if others can read it for free?"
Zack asked in doubt since he doesn't quite understand it.
Hearing it, Shamon's expression didn't change since he already expected it and indifferently answered.
"If there is a first volume, there must be a second volume. I will put the first volume in my building, and use the second volume as the reward, and so on.."
"so that's how it is, how I didn't expect it! "
Zack muttered to himself.
Compared with Shamon, he felt that he was really too bad.
"Go and prepare the plan."
Shamon waved his hand to let Zack leave. _
"The Kazekage really has a vision for not banning the book. Maybe this uncle's art will bloom in the Land of Wind! "
Jiraiya said hopefully.
"What are you happy about?" In the first place, do you even have a manuscript for sale in the Land of Rivers?"
Shin Yūhi asked, destroying ruthlessly his fantasy.
"Huh? "
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment and then reacted as if that was the case.
Seeing his face, Shin Yūhi didn't mind him since he finally knew why Akabane asked him to come and asked for help.
He looked at the painting in his hand, and after pondering for a moment, he tore down the painting in half since it's unbearable to look at.
Akabane called them over as a gimmick. There is actually no place for them to help.
Now that the deal is concluded, he doesn't need to draw this without his conscience.
As for Jiraiya…
He is an idiot, dont care!
Shin Yūhi held his chin in silence and thought, he decided to change the content and draw what he wanted.
Jiraaiya who got enlightened got close to Akabane and asked the important thing to become a successful Ero Mangaka.
"Akabane, can I print some and sell it to Land-of-Wind? "
Jiraiya leaned in and asked in a low voice.
Akabane considered his words and said after a while: " It is possible, but you have to get approval from the Third Hokage for you to get it printed."
"Teacher? "
Jiraiya touched his head, he didn't understand some of the essential words Akabane said that made him confused.
Shin Yūhi and Kurama Shanyuan did not understand if this kind of comics was sent to the Third Hokage, aren't they just asking for a beating?"
"You can think of it as the proof of your Comics gaining approval from the Third Hokage that will make it easy for other people to be impressed. "
Akabane smiled and gave Jiraiya the last push for him to get baited.
"It makes sense! "
Hearing it, Jiraiya nodded, his eyes are full of fighting spirit.
In order to impress the Teacher, and for art!
