Chapter 198 Hanabi: We Can’t Let Him Know About the Jar Shop! The Stunning Jiraiya: Who Is This Author?

"A place to sing?"

Jiraiya, who was touching him, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard what these two people said.

With such lights and a place for singing at night, why didn’t I hear the singing?

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

"Who are you!"

Seeing Jiraiya suddenly appearing and approaching, the expressions of the Hyuga clan members who were stationed at the station changed: "How did you get here?"

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

Who would come here at night?

"It should be the light that attracts them."

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 yet. If you want to come, just wait two days. It will open in two days." , we will post a notice when the specific time comes.”

"I see."

Hearing this, Jiraiya understood.

It's not open for business yet.

No wonder I didn't hear singing coming from inside.

Jiraiya then said goodbye to the two of them and left.

The two people stationed here didn't pay any attention and continued to chat back.

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

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

"Is the singing place so luxurious?"

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

Jiraiya muttered to himself.

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

With his rich experience as a ninja for many years, 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.

Different from the glamorous outside, the decoration inside is modern and luxurious, with various soft lights shining on the walls and various 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 a place for singing?"

Jiraiya looked around with confusion.

Walking through one private room after another, the walls were decorated with strange paintings and all kinds of strange equipment were placed on the tables.

He didn't even recognize these devices!

Finally, he stopped in a private room, and what he saw in front of him completely stunned him.

I saw a few microphones quietly placed on the table, with a row of buttons on them.

Jiraiya walked in, reached for the microphone, studied it for a while, and frowned.

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

"What is this screen next to it?"

Jiraiya quickly noticed a strange song request screen device, with confusion on his face.

There's also a big screen in the front.

There are various buttons on the wall.

It seemed like he was eager to give it a try.

"This is supposed to be for song requests, and the microphone is for singing."

"Is it controlled 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?"

"With this level of luxury, it should cost a lot of money just to fake it."

"How about trying to sing a song?"

Jiraiya held his chin in thought and looked at the equipment in front of him.

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

He frowned and looked around, feeling a little helpless.

Because Jiraiya found out.

If he really sang, the sound would definitely spread, and the ninjas stationed outside would soon notice 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 now was not the time for fun.

Especially in such an eye-catching place.

"That's all, let's collect information first."

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

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

Every step I take, there is something unfinished in my heart.

After all, he has never seen such a magical place full of technology.

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

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

When the time is right, come and visit in depth.

With this thought, Jiraiya quietly left the KTV with complicated emotions and disappeared into the night.

A new day has arrived.

The sun rises slowly from the east.

Golden light filled the streets and alleys of Konoha Village. Pedestrians on the streets began to be busy, and the atmosphere of the village gradually became lively.

In the territory of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hanabi, who had already finished breakfast, could not wait.

Standing at the door of her house excitedly, her eyes were shining and she said quickly: "Sister, I'm leaving first."

But she knew that Sister Tiantian was going to open the jar today, and she must not miss this opportunity.

She must go and witness what Sister Tiantian will prescribe today.

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

After hearing Hinata Hanabi's words, Hinata Hinata's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Upon hearing this, Hinata Hanabi immediately took out the solar jet skateboard she drove out of the storage ring and stepped on it skillfully.

As the skateboard made a slight buzzing sound and was charged by solar energy, Hanabi kicked off her feet and the skateboard accelerated rapidly, taking her speeding through the streets of Konoha.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the morning light shone on Hanabi's body.

"It's really convenient. It's much more fun than skateboarding before."

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

It's not like she has never played with that kind of wooden skateboard.

But that kind of skateboard is completely incomparable to the skateboard with a turbine engine under your feet!

When the skateboard was launched yesterday, she had been practicing skateboarding in the backyard.

Now this skateboard has completely replaced her travels in Konoha Village.

However, just as she was enjoying the rapid progress, there was a sudden shout from the front: "That! Wait a minute!"

Hearing this voice, Hinata Hanabi was slightly startled and subconsciously slowed down.

He looked up and saw Konohamaru.

I saw Konohamaru leading the two of them with surprised faces, eyes fixed on the jet skateboard under Hanabi's feet, looking envious.

"Your skateboard looks great."

Seeing the stopped Hanabi, Konohamaru strode over with curiosity in his eyes: "Where did you buy this? I have never seen this style of skateboard. It's so cool! Where did you buy this? ? Can you borrow it for me to play with?"

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

She knew that Konohamaru was the grandson of the Hokage.

Thinking of what his father said, Hinata Hanabi was reluctant to have too much contact with him.

"This is something I use on my way. I can't lend it to you for fun."

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 off the skateboard without hesitation and rushed out without giving Konohamaru any chance to continue the conversation.

However, Konohamaru did not intend to give up easily.

When he saw Hanabi leaving quickly, Konohamaru hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute! I just want to give it a try, just let me play for a while!"

“I can pay for it!”

However, Hanabi did not answer Konohamaru's words.

Hanabi also felt anxious.

Because she realized that if Konohamaru caught up with her, she might be exposed when she went to the can shop.

He gritted his teeth and decided to get rid of Konohamaru.

"My father told me." "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."

"The Hokage Yinggang doesn't know about the jar yet."

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

Hanabi decided secretly in her heart.

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

"How could it be so fast?!"

Konohamaru's eyes widened as he looked at the skateboard that almost flew away.

He obviously only saw the fireworks and the skateboard flew away without stepping on it a few times. Where did this skateboard come from?

Konohamaru sped up and chased after him, but his speed was obviously not comparable to that of a skateboard.

Seeing Hanabi's back running further and further away, Konohagakure was secretly annoyed.

"What kind of magic is that skateboard?"

However, Hanabi had already shaken him off.

At this time, Hanabi also realized that she had gotten rid of Konohamaru, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, I was also secretly distressed: "This guy is really troublesome. Fortunately, he didn't catch up with me. Really, I shouldn't be using this skateboard to drive on the road so early in the morning."

When Hanabi thinks so.

Konohamaru, who was completely thrown away, looked uncomfortable.

I saw such an interesting thing early in the morning.

"I said Konohamaru, you scared people."

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

"It's true that Konohamaru scared people away so early in the morning. Otherwise, if I had gone up and talked with him, I might have been able to ride on that skateboard."

Next to him, Feng Matsuri Moe Huang looked at Konohamaru with some complaints: "You are too fast, Konohamaru."

"But that skateboard is really cool."

Hearing Fu Matsuri's words, Konohamaru said distressedly: "I can't help it, I've never seen that style of skateboard."

"It should have been made by the Hyuga clan."

Udon thought: "As the big family of Konoha Village, the toys used by the Hyuga clan must be different from ours. It is our first time to see such things, so we must not have bought them."

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Konohamaru scratched his head and said: "Forget it, if you can't play it, then you can't play it. If we meet again next time, I'll ask Moehuang to go up and have a chat."

"Let's go find Brother Naruto first."

"I don't know what Brother Naruto is up to these days. No one is home."

"Is it that big already?"

While Konohamaru was scratching his head in distress and communicating with Udon and Kazamatsu Moehuang.

Jiyingtang Bookstore is not far away.

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

Unexpectedly, I would meet a familiar little guy.

Then he withdrew his gaze and walked towards Jiyingtang Bookstore.

When the owner of Jiyingtang Bookstore saw Jiraiya, his eyes suddenly lit up and he came up to him with surprise on his face. He shouted excitedly: "Jiraiya-sama! When did you come back?"

Jiraiya smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "The collection just ended and I just came back recently."

As he said that, Jiraiya glanced at the bookshelf casually, and then continued, "I'm here to pick up the royalties for "Intimate Love in Heaven."

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

As he spoke, he quickly turned around, took out his account book and started rummaging through it.

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

After Jiraiya took it, he looked down and immediately frowned: "Why are there so few?"

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

As a best-selling work for many years, how could the income of "Making Love in Paradise" be so small?

Even if it is the largest bookstore in Konoha Village, its income should not be so small.

After all, I haven’t returned to the village for a long time.

Jiraiya looked suspicious and glanced at the bookshelf again.

However, he discovered that his copy of "Intimate Love in Heaven" was not placed in a conspicuous position on the second floor bookshelf of the bookstore. Instead, it was piled casually in the corner.

And in the most conspicuous place, there is a brand new book - "The School Life of Ninja Abin".

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

Seeing Jiraiya's confusion, the bookstore owner quickly explained: "Ah, Jiraiya-sama, the sales of "Intimate Love in Heaven" have not been very good recently, so..."

"And this book "Ninja Abin's School Life" has been very popular recently, and many readers have come to buy it, so we put it in the most conspicuous position."

"I wonder if there's no sales for "Intimate Love in Heaven"?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya couldn't believe it.

As a legend in the novel illustration world, he was actually surpassed by a work he had never heard of?

With some suspicion, he decisively picked up a book "Ninja Abin's School Life" from the bookshelf and turned to the first page.

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

"What's the content of this?"

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

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

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

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

"If there were pictures, wouldn't this become more popular?"

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

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

"These days, everyone likes something so simple and straightforward. Just watch it and it's done."

Hearing this, the corners of Jiraiya's mouth twitched slightly.

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

Unexpectedly, his "Making Love in Heaven" would be upstaged by such a book.

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

Bookstore owner: "."

Hearing Jiraiya's words, the bookstore owner suddenly looked solemn: "Well, Jiraiya-sama, you should have collected a lot of materials when you came back, 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 very good. I can share my experience with him."

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

Akka?

This pen name is too simple.

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

Hearing Jiraiya's words, the bookstore owner hurriedly said: "At that time, he also said that there would be a follow-up to this book, and he would sell it after it is completed. He even entrusted me to use channels to print and sell this book. Go somewhere else.”

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

"You don't know, this period is the Chunin Examination. In some ninja villages near the Land of Fire, there are jonins bringing ninjas here to take the Chunin Examination."

"This book appeared at this time. I don't think it should be the ninjas of our Country of Fire, the Leaf Village."

"Otherwise, this book would not have appeared at this time."

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

The bookstore owner told Jiraiya all the information he knew. Jiraiya pinched his chin and said thoughtfully, "That's it."

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

"I can leave a contact number. If you tell me, let me know 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: "Yes, just open the scroll when the time comes. Don't open it at ordinary times."

"I understand, Master Jiraiya!"

Hearing this, the bookstore owner suddenly looked solemn.

Ordinary people don't know Master Jiraiya, but he is familiar with his style.

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

From the current point of view, Master Jiraiya seems to have secretly returned to Konoha Village?

"During this period, what information does Konoha Village have?"

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