41 Chapter 41: Bookstore
Meanwhile, in Uzushiogakure, using Uzukage's endorsement and influence, he manages to sell the comic without disturbance. When Uzumaki members received comic books, it was a culture shock because they never thought art could be turned into a story.
(A/N: Remember, this world has a novel. Jiraiya tours around the world while writing a novel.)
Because most people, especially Ninjas, use brushes to write something, Setsuna is a modern person, so he created his own pen using fuinjutsu and hired a craftsman to make the pen he wanted, which is a fountain pen. He added fuinjutsu tracking so he could find his pen when he forgot where he put it.
Using a pen, he manages to copy and paste around 200 comic books, and it drains his chakra a lot. Using a 1000-shadow clone and maintaining it for a long time exhausted him.
At this time, he really wanted to use the Nine Tails Perfect Jinchuuriki Card, but he felt it was too dangerous, especially when living with the Uzumaki clan, which has been known to detect Jinchuuriki easily.
Little did he know his decision would save his life and family, Madara and Izuna would target him and there was also Black Zetsu, who might kidnap his wife and his kids.
Back to the comic book...
On earth, there is a popular bookstore called Kinokuniya. Its name translates to "Bookstore of Kii Province" (I found this one on Wikipedia). At first, he wanted to just copy the name but then remembered the meaning. After that, he named his book store Ninkinoaru, which means popular in Japanese.
P/S: Well, you got it, i know what you have on your mind.
His first book was well received by Uzumaki members. As an ally of Senju, they also wanted to live with the Senju clan in Konoha, but Hokage and Uzukage decided not to receive them because of the Uchiha clan. Hashirama is afraid that if he chooses to migrate Uzumaki into Konoha, Uchiha might rebel.
Uzukage also didn't want another war to happen because of them, after Konoha was founded, all the wars stopped instantly. There are many clans that decided just to cooperate and build a village like Konoha, and they all agreed. But if anything happens with Uchiha and Senju, there might be another war. That is why the Uzumaki clan didn't follow the Senju clan.
(P/S: Well, they are save from Sarutobi and the gang because of setsuna. On another dimension they suffered because all their clan were massacred)
On his first day, he didn't manage to sell much, only 15 books, but he didn't feel down because it was a good sign, and he also managed to watch the reactions of people when reading his comic books.
Some of them are crying.
"This sakura is so pitiful."
"I want to be like this man, who cares for others."
As a shinobi, he knows their feelings well. He didn't laugh and just sympathised with them. Little did he know, his book would sold out the next day because of the popularity of his comic books.
BLACK ZETSU DILEMMA
Black Zetsu, who has followed Madara since he was young, was anxious when he also couldn't find nine tails.
"Impossible. Did nine tails suddenly evaporate?"
This question keeps playing in Zetsu's mind, but he didn't stop searching everywhere. After a month, he then decided to help Madara gain rinnegan. At first, maybe nine tails had been absorbed into ten tails.
"It's not a good idea to approach him now, I might fail to fool him." After thinking for a while, he decides to keep watching Madara Action.
2 FOOLS BROTHERS
"Izuna, I have decided to capture 8 tails and 7 tails. I will try to use my eyes to control both of these beasts," said Madara.
"Ok, brother, but where could we find them?" asked Izuna.
"Just follow me," replied Madara.
Another day passed, and Madara managed to capture 8 tails and 7 tails. Unfortunately, his eyes can't control both beasts at the same time. So he decided to let Izuna control the seven tails and practice together to fight Hashirama.
