17 Chapter 17: Business Situations

Touching her chin, Anko spoke again and asked curiously, "Are you a Chūnin now? I feel like you have quite a bit of chakra. If you take some level C tasks, the one-month deposit is enough."

'Chūnin'

Yuya's mouth twisted. He only has the strength of a simple Genin, okay? He only has the "Kage Bunshin" in his arsenal.

Moreover, the level C task can be upgraded to the level B task at any time! At that time, the system won't be able to save his life.

Konoha Village also has regulations: under normal circumstances, people from other villages can accept the level C and D tasks issued by Konoha, but first, you must have a clean background and not be a ninja deserter from other villages, and secondly, you must pay a security deposit. Those who do tasks have to pay half the tax!

Looking at Anko's curious eyes, Yuya responded honestly, "Senior Anko, I only have the strength of a Genin! I'm just a small shrimp. Besides, I'm not a ninja in Konoha Village, and I have to pay half the tax for the tasks I receive. I only write books honestly to make money, and if I'm lucky, the manuscript fee will be able to support my life in this village."

"Eh?" Anko smiled, couldn't help but bend down and wink at Yuya, and said with a mocking smile, "It turns out you wrote 'Konoha Love Story' and it will be sent for publication. As long as the publication causes a boom in the market, I will definitely buy some more to boost your sales! It should be a success, since the writing is very good!" Anko gave her approval.

Yuya, who got a small book fan, was in a wonderful mood.

He said "thank you for your support" to Anko's wink, and then said, "Senior Anko, you must remember to keep it a secret for me! Also, don't give spoilers to others!"

"Ah ah ah!" Waving her hands up and down, Anko shook her head to make sure she wouldn't spread the word, and then asked, "By the way, which publishing house do you plan to submit to?"

"Maru Zendo, I've already written almost a twentieth part, and the whole book can be finished in about ten days!" Yuya presented that, like "Tokyo Love Story," his "Konoha Love Story" will be compact and not procrastinated.

Anko frowned, and the moment she heard "Maruzendo," she looked at enthusiastic Yuya and confirmed again, "Are you sure you want to contribute to Maruzendo? Yanami Bookstore is also good. Think about it."

Looking at Anko with some doubts, Yuya felt a little strange. Is there something wrong with Maru Zendo? Thinking about this, his heart skipped a beat. However, he explained to Anko, "Most of the books published by Yanbo Bookstore are collections of traditional poetry and cultural categories. They shouldn't accept this type of novel. Moreover, compared to Yanbo, Maru Zendo has more types of books, right? Isn't the popular "Icha-Icha Paradise" published by Maruzendo?"

"Don't compare your own work with books, especially Icha-Icha, that trash author is not worthy!" After hearing "Icha-Icha," Anko rolled her eyes and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "The author of this kind of book should die! I really don't know why such a book can sell in the five countries."

Yuya couldn't help but sympathize with Jiraiya. It seems that while this book is considered a masterpiece by most men, it is also "detested" by most women.

However, even if you know the author is Jiraiya, not many people can move past it. No, there's also that strange woman, Tsunade. However, Tsunade is now in a very depressed situation.

"You should know that there is something wrong with Maruzendo's funds," explained Anko.

It turned out that Maruzendo, as the main publisher in Konoha Village, was able to compete with Iwanami Shoten, which was a miracle in everyone's eyes. After all, Iwanami Bookstore has a long history, while Maruzendo only emerged in the last ten years.

The owner of Maruzendo, with the best-selling "Icha-Icha Paradise" in the five major countries, can make a lot of money every year when Jiraiya writes a new book, but there is always a hidden problem. That is, Maru Zendo relies too much on this book.

However, Jiraiya is too slow to write books. You know, in addition to being a "writer," Jiraiya also runs a spy network and travels everywhere.

Except for "Icha-Icha," there aren't many more books that Maruzendo sells, but Iwanami Bookstore is different. Although it doesn't have the best-selling "H book" as a face, it has the best-selling book in the poetic genre, so overall, Yanbo Bookstore can stand.

In addition, the same Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, personally buys books at this bookstore, so how much more expensive does this bookstore want to be?

"Moreover, there is a recent rumor." Anko extended her index finger towards Yuya and said very solemnly, "My last mission was to protect the daughter of a big businessman. The boss recently lost a lot of money in business, so he took most of the funds from Maruzendo."
