In Konoha: My canned food shop is very popular in the ninja world

Chapter 198: Fireworks: We can't let him know about the jar shop! The stunning Jiraiya: Who is this author?

"A place for singing?"

Jiraiya, who was just approaching, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard what the two said.

There were so many lights on in the middle of the night, and there was a place for singing, so why didn’t I hear any singing?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya showed up and said, "Hello, is this place still open? I want to go in and experience it."

"Who are you!"

Seeing Jiraiya suddenly appear, the Hyuga clan members who were stationed there changed their expressions and asked, "How did you get here?"

Damn it, this place is close to the Hyuga clan's territory.

Who would come here at this late hour?

"It must be attracted by the light."

Next to him, another member of the Hyuga clan looked back speechlessly, shook his head at Jiraiya and said, "Sorry, this singing place hasn't opened for business yet. If you want to come, wait a few days. It will open for business in two days. We will post a notice with the specific time."

"I see."

After hearing this, Zilai understood.

It hasn't started business yet.

No wonder I didn’t hear any singing coming from inside.

Jiraiya then said goodbye to the two and left.

The two people stationed here didn't care at all and continued chatting.

Although Jiraiya left the Hyuga clan's KTV, his curiosity was not extinguished at all.

After walking for a while, he couldn't help but stop, frowned, and hesitated.

"Is the place where you sing so luxurious?"

"No, I have to go in and take a look."

Jiraiya muttered.

Finally, the irrepressible curiosity in his heart overcame his reason, so he quietly turned back and decided to find out more.

With his rich experience from many years of ninja career, he easily avoided the Hyuga clan members and quickly slipped into this luxurious building.

As soon as he entered, Jiraiya was stunned by the interior layout.

Unlike the glamorous outside, the decoration inside is modern and luxurious, with various soft lights shining on the walls and colorful neon lights hanging from the ceiling.

What made him even more curious was that the various buttons and screens on the table seemed to be modern technology that had nothing to do with the ninja world.

“Is this really the place for singing?”

Jiraiya looked around with confusion on his face.

Walking through box after box, the walls were decorated with strange paintings and all kinds of weird equipment were placed on the tables.

He didn't even recognize these devices!

Finally, he stopped in a box, and what he saw completely stunned him.

There were only a few microphones quietly placed on the table, with a row of buttons on top.

Jiraiya walked in and picked up the microphone, studying it for a moment, his brows furrowed.

"Is this also a microphone? The shape is so weird."

"What's this screen next to it?"

Jiraiya quickly noticed a strange screen device for ordering songs, and looked confused.

There is also a large screen in the front.

There are various buttons on the wall.

He looked like he was eager to try it out.

"This should be for ordering songs. The microphone is for singing."

“Like a computer?”

"But this screen is really big. I have never seen anything like this outside. Where did the Hyuga clan get this thing?"

"This level of luxury would cost a lot of money just to fake it."

"How about trying to sing a song?"

Jiraiya held his chin in thought, examining the device in front of him.

However, after thinking about it, Jiraiya immediately calmed down.

He looked around with a frown, feeling somewhat helpless.

Because Jiraiya discovered it.

If he really sang, the sound would definitely get out, and the ninjas stationed outside would soon discover what was going on here."

Thinking of this, Jiraiya sighed softly and suppressed the urge in his heart to give it a try.

As an experienced ninja, he knew that now was not the time to have fun.

Especially in such a conspicuous place.

"Forget it, let's collect information first."

Jiraiya shook his head helplessly, put down the microphone in his hand, and left the box reluctantly.

Walk out of the KTV step by step, trying not to make any noise.

With every step I take, I feel a sense of wanting more.

After all, he had never seen such a magical and technological place.

"Tomorrow, I must investigate this place thoroughly and find some information about it."

Jiraiya secretly made up his mind and decided to pay attention to this mysterious KTV.

Wait until the time is right to make a more in-depth visit.

With this thought in mind, Jiraiya quietly left the KTV with mixed feelings and disappeared into the night.

A new day has arrived.

The sun rises slowly from the east.

The golden light filled the streets and alleys of Konoha Village. Pedestrians on the streets began to get busy and the atmosphere in the village gradually became lively.

In the Hyuga clan's territory, Hyuga Hanabi, who had already finished breakfast, couldn't wait any longer.

Standing at the door of the house excitedly, with eyes shining, he quickly said, "Sister, I'm leaving first."

But she knew that today was Sister Tiantian's day to open the jars, and she must not miss this opportunity.

She must go and witness what Sister Tiantian will come up with today.

"Okay, Hanabi, you go ahead and I'll pack up the scrolls."

After hearing what Hyuga Hanabi said, Hyuga Hinata's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Hearing this, Hinata Hanabi immediately took out her own solar jet skateboard from her storage ring and stepped on it skillfully.

As the skateboard made a slight humming sound and was charged with solar energy, Hanabi pushed off the board and it quickly accelerated, speeding through the streets of Konoha.

The wind whistled in her ears, and the morning light shone on the fireworks.

"It's really convenient. It's much more interesting than the skateboard I played before."

Feeling the speed of the skateboard under her feet, Hanabi looked excited.

It's not like she hasn't played with that kind of wooden skateboard before.

But that kind of skateboard is nothing compared to the skateboard with a turbo engine under my feet!

She had been practicing skateboarding in the backyard when she drove this one out yesterday.

Now this skateboard has completely replaced her means of travel in Konoha Village.

However, just as she was enjoying the pleasure of speeding forward, a shout suddenly came from the front: "That! Wait a minute!"

Hearing the voice, Hinata Hanabi was slightly stunned and subconsciously slowed down.

When I looked up, I saw Konohamaru.

Konohamaru was seen with the other two people with surprised faces, his eyes fixed on the jet skateboard under Hanabi's feet, with an envious look on his face.

"Your skateboard is so pretty."

Seeing Hanabi stop, Konohamaru strode over, his eyes full of curiosity: "Where did you buy this? I've never seen a skateboard like this. It's so cool! Where did you buy this? Can you lend it to me to play with?"

Hearing Konohamaru's words, Hanabi frowned slightly, a little impatient with Konohamaru's interruption.

She knew that Konohamaru was the Hokage's grandson.

Thinking of what her father had said, Hinata Hanabi was not willing to have too much contact with him.

"This is something I use for my own travels, I can't lend it to you to play with."

Hinata Hanabi replied coldly, thinking about leaving as soon as possible: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Hanabi stepped on the skateboard without hesitation and rushed out at full speed, not giving Konohamaru any chance to continue the conversation.

However, Konohamaru wasn't going to give up that easily.

He saw Hanabi leaving quickly, and Konohamaru hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute! I just want to try it out, really just lend it to me for a while!"

"I can buy it with money!"

However, Hanabi did not answer Konohamaru.

Anxiety also began to appear in Hanabi's heart.

Because she realized that if Konohamaru caught up with her, her trip to the jar shop would most likely be exposed.

He gritted his teeth and decided to shake off Konohamaru.

"Father has instructed us." "He is the grandson of the Third Generation. If he knows about the magical jar shop, it means that the Hokage may also know about it."

"Right now, Hokage Yinggang doesn't know about the jar."

"So we can't let him know about the existence of this shop!"

Hanabi made a decision in her heart.

So she accelerated suddenly, the skateboard under her feet made a strong jet sound, and her speed soared again, speeding on the street like a meteor.

"How could it be so fast?!"

Looking at the skateboard that almost flew out, Konohamaru's eyes widened.

He clearly saw that Hua Huo didn't step on the skateboard for a few times, and the skateboard flew out. Where did this skateboard come from?

Konohamaru sped up and tried his best to catch up, but his speed was obviously no match for the skateboard.

Seeing Hanabi's back running farther and farther away, the villagers of Konoha felt secretly annoyed.

"What the hell is that skateboard?"

However, Hanabi had already shaken him off.

At this time, Hanabi also realized that she had shaken off Konohamaru, and immediately felt relieved.

But at the same time, he was secretly worried: "This guy is really troublesome. Fortunately, he didn't catch up with me. Really, I shouldn't use this skateboard to travel so early in the morning."

When Hanabi thought so.

Konohamaru, who was completely thrown away, looked uncomfortable.

I saw such an interesting thing early in the morning.

"Hey Konohamaru, you scared me."

At this time, Udon came over, picking his nose, and said, "If I remember correctly, that is the second daughter of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hanabi."

"Konohamaru is really something. He scared people away so early in the morning. Otherwise, I would have gone up to talk to him and maybe I could have played with the skateboard."

Beside him, Kazesatsura Moegi looked at Konohamaru with some complaints: "You are too fast, Konohamaru."

“But that skateboard is really cool.”

Hearing Kazesai Moeka's words, Konohamaru said in distress: "I can't help it. I haven't seen that style of skateboard before."

"It should be made by the Hyuga clan."

Udon pondered, "As a large family in Konoha Village, the Hyuga clan must use different toys than us. This is the first time we have seen such things. They are definitely not bought."

"Then there's no way."

Konohamaru scratched his head and said, "Forget it, if we can't play, then we can't play. Next time we meet again, I'll let Moegi go up and have a chat with him."

"Let's go find Brother Naruto first."

"I don't know what Naruto-sama is busy with lately. No one is home."

“已经这么大了吗？”

While Konohamaru was scratching his head in distress and communicating with Udon and Kazesai Moegi.

Jiyingtang Bookstore not far away.

Jiraiya, who was walking over, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this scene and looked at it a few more times.

Unexpectedly, I met a familiar looking little guy.

Then he withdrew his gaze and walked towards Jiyingtang Bookstore.

When the owner of Shueido Bookstore saw Jiraiya, his eyes lit up immediately, and he came up to him with a look of surprise, and shouted excitedly: "Master Jiraiya! When did you come back?"

Jiraiya smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "I just finished collecting materials and came back recently."

As he spoke, Jiraiya glanced at the bookshelf nonchalantly, and then continued, "By the way, I came to pick up the royalties for "Intimate Paradise."

When the boss heard this, he nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Of course, of course! Please wait a moment, Master Jiraiya."

As he said this, he quickly turned around, took out the account book and began to look through it.

After a while, the boss handed Jiraiya a paper box containing money.

After Jiraiya took it, he looked down and frowned immediately: "Why is it so little?"

Looking at the amount of money, Jiraiya was suddenly shocked.

As a best-seller for many years, how could the revenue of "Intimate Paradise" be so low?
Even though it is the largest bookstore in Konoha Village, its income shouldn't be so little.

After all, I haven't been back to the village for a long time.

Jiraiya looked suspicious and glanced at the bookshelf again.

However, he found that his copy of "Intimate Paradise" was not placed in a prominent position on the second-floor bookshelf of the bookstore, but was piled casually in the corner.

And in the most conspicuous position, there is a brand new book - "Ninja Abin's School Life".

Jiraiya's brows furrowed more and more, and he pointed at the book and asked, "What kind of book is this? It's placed in a better position than my "Intimate Paradise"?"

Seeing Jiraiya's confusion, the bookstore owner quickly explained: "Ah, Master Jiraiya, the sales of "Intimate Paradise" are not very good recently, so..."

"Also, this book 'Ninja Abin's School Life' is very popular recently. Many readers are buying it, so we put it in the most prominent position."

"My copy of "Intimate Paradise" has no sales?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya was a little bit unbelieving.

As a legendary figure in the novel and illustration world, how could he be surpassed by a work that no one has ever heard of?
With some doubt, he decisively picked up a book called "Ninja Abin's School Life" from the bookshelf and opened the first page.

As his eyes gradually scanned downwards, the expression on his face changed from initial confusion to shock, and his eyes gradually widened.

"What is this about?"

The more Jiraiya looked at it, the more incredible it seemed.

The textual descriptions in the book alone were simply astonishing, and the various bold plot developments and unexpected plot twists made him involuntarily feel shocked.

"How can a book like this be popular without any pictures?"

Jiraiya muttered to himself, his eyes lingering on the page for a long time, his heart shaken.

"If this had a picture, wouldn't it be even more popular?"

Seeing Jiraiya's expression, the bookstore owner also hurriedly explained: "Yes, Master Jiraiya, this book is indeed very popular. Almost all young ninjas are talking about it recently, and the sales have soared dramatically."

“Although the content is a bit explicit, everyone seems to like it.”

"These days, everyone likes something so simple and straightforward. As long as it's enjoyable to watch, that's all."

Hearing this, Jiraiya's mouth twitched slightly.

After flipping through a few more pages, Jiraiya slowly closed the book in his hand, feeling mixed emotions.

Unexpectedly, his "Intimate Paradise" would be overshadowed by such a book.

For a moment, Jiraiya took a deep breath and said with a complicated expression: "It seems that I have to improve the content of "Intimate Paradise"."

Bookstore owner: “.”

Hearing Jiraiya's words, the bookstore owner suddenly looked solemn: "Then Master Jiraiya, you should have collected a lot of materials after returning, right?"

"Well, I haven't sorted it out yet."

Jiraiya nodded, "Let me sort it out."

"By the way, do you know who the author of this book is?"

"Where did it come from? Can you roughly determine which country the author of this book is from?"

"I think this guy is pretty good and I can exchange ideas with him."

As he spoke, Jiraiya looked at the cover of "Ninja Abin's School Life", saw the author's name, and pinched his chin in thought.

Aka?

This pen name is too simple.

"I don't know where this one came from, but I received it some time ago, and a ninja-sama came to get it personally."

After hearing Jiraiya's words, the bookstore owner hurriedly said, "He also said at the time that there would be a sequel to this book, and he would sell it after it was completed. He even entrusted me to use channels to print and copy the book and sell it to other places."

"I feel like he should be a jonin from a certain ninja village."

"You don't know that this period is the Chunin Exam. Some ninja villages near the Land of Fire have jonin bringing ninjas to participate in the Chunin Exam."

"This book appeared at this time. I don't think it should be the ninja from our Fire Country, Konoha Village."

"Otherwise, this book would not appear at this time."

"A few days ago, this author came to collect his royalties. He was quite diligent. Maybe he was short of money."

The bookstore owner told Jiraiya all the information he knew, and Jiraiya pinched his chin and thought: "Is that so."

"Then next time he comes, remember to tell him that I, Jiraiya, want to exchange ideas with him."

"I can leave a contact number. If you tell me, let me know directly and see if I can make an appointment with him."

As he spoke, Jiraiya casually took out a scroll and handed it to the bookstore owner: "Okay, just open the scroll when the time comes, don't open it at ordinary times."

"I understand, Master Jiraiya!"

Hearing this, the bookstore owner's face suddenly became solemn.

Ordinary people don’t know Lord Jiraiya, but he is familiar with this person’s style.

As the owner of the largest bookstore in Konoha Village, he also knew about Jiraiya's other deeds.

From the current perspective, it seems that Lord Jiraiya has secretly returned to Konoha Village?

"What intelligence does Konoha Village have during this period?"

Jiraiya continued to inquire: "You know, I just came back and I don't know the situation. Tell me about some recent events."
