A week has passed since then, and I have been busy to create the items for my next week's sale.
And this time, I really want to make my shop super famous like in those fanfics where even the Hokage and clan heads can't resist it.
And that's why, I have decided to start a new series alongside Shin-chan.
'A Snake's Nest'
It is a horror manga that drove Naruto to tears, and he screamed as well when Orochimaru appeared out of nowhere in a two page spread, staring at the reader's soul.
I clearly remember how creeped out and scared I was when Orochimaru first appeared in the forest of death.
So, I have put extra effort to make Orochimaru VERY scary and creepy.
The story is silly though. Orochimaru kidnaps a young girl with special abilities, intending to eat her when she is grown up. But the young girl doesn't know that and stats caring for him as if Orochimaru is her father. Slowly, she falls prey to more of Orochimaru's manipulation and-
-see the next volume for that!
Honestly, I am just surprised that the public library had his picture and basic information, so that even civilians remain aware of dangerous people.
I chuckled by imagining the crying children when they get the jumpscare when Orochimaru appears all of a sudden, and stares straight at them. I have already made 5 chapters, in a week, and have printed 500 copies of it.
Sure, each chapter was 5-6 pages long, but it took me a lot of effort. Still, I am better than Ikemoto.
On the top of it, I created a poster of an older 6th Hokage Kakashi with purple lightning Kirin being dropped on something that isn't shown in the poster. But Shizune is in the background. I will be using it for publicity of my shop, and to give kakashi the idea. Stronger Kakashi is better for me, and Naruto's safety.
Then, the second poster is of grown-up Sasuke. I could have drawn him in the police or Jonin uniform, but where is the fun in that?
So I have chosen the Shippuden entry Sasuke, with his chest for everyone to see and him resting his hands on a katana. He has a cold blank look on his face, and there are depressing clouds in the background.
And for the third poster, I have created the Hokage Rock scene from the Minato One-shot manga, smiling brightly while mentioning Rasengan. Father-in-law is so cool and awesome! I am sure that I could make good money out of his face.
Now... I have to somehow convince the Hokage that I can, indeed, show a bit of future. Shizune in Kakashi's background is there for it.
But, I have a bonus poster, with Kakashi and Guy in it. Kakashi is screaming "Guy!" in one small panel, and Guy is giving his signature thumbs up just below it, and in the next big panel, it is Night Guy. The background is of war, obviously.
I can justify this as seeing Kakashi's future, and even if they don't believe in my 'ability', Guy will come to my stall and I can ask him to train Naruto.
And if they do end up believing me, I don't think they will scan me with Yamanaka jutsu at such a young age, and more so that I can't use chakra. It might lead me to not cooperate with them in the future, and they can't exactly imprison me now that I am Naruto's friend.
While this move is certainly dangerous, if successful, I will get a lot of say in how the plot progresses, get extra protection, more negotiation power, and obviously, more money.
If this doesn't work, the worst that could happen is a trip to T&I. But considering that I am a child, and only 'dream' of future after seeing a person, with questionable accuracy, they won't risk me somehow losing the ability due to their interference with how my mind works. And most importantly, they can't endanger me by having Yamanaka read my mind, given my chakra sensitivity.
Now that there have been talks about Kumo signing a treaty in two weels and the skirmishes finally coming to end, I can definitely use the Hyuga incident in my favour. But for that, I need for the Hyuga to come here. And I can only leave it to Shin-chan and plot armour for things to play out in my favour.
There is a risk, but the advantages are just too many to ignore. If I have meta knowledge, why not use it in the most profitable way? Being a seer is not very weird in this ninja world afterall. If I can prove myself, I will definitely get priority on almost the same level as Naruto for protection.
I opened my shop at exactly 5pm. As I displayed all the four posters, they soon became a center of attention.
Alright, it's time to start my sale for this week.
