Opening my Shop-2
At sharp 5 pm, I was going to open my shop. Well, It was more of a stall than a shop though.
I placed Shin-chan on the display, along with the posters. I am going to auction the four posters except Naruto's, and sell Shin-chan for somewhat cheap. When it becomes popular, then I will contact a publishing company.
I don't want my comics to be ruined by evil companies. I am sure that Kishimoto never wanted Boruto to happen. If anything, it could have been Naruto's grandchildren's generation. The technology went from 1920-30s to straight up 2050-60 in 15-16 years.
I don't think Kishimoto would have wanted to end the series, or atleast stop for a bit before releasing the sequel. No wonder he wasn't the author of that trash, and had to come and try to salvage whatever Ikemoto and whatever writer had cooked.
Anyway, it's not like my ranting would save anything. It's just that the sequel of my Naruto's story, my children's story will be far batter than burrito.
Hmm... Naruto hasn't arrived yet... Oh. He doesn't have a watch. I don't have one too. It's just that I can see the watch hanging in Ichiraku. Well, I think I should start my sale now.
"Everyone! Pay attention! I, Shiori-chan, am going to sell you guys my comic at a heavy discount today! Only 50 Ryo for each copy!
And the auction will start in an hour! Posters of Third Hokage when he was young, Tsunade beating up Orochimaru, the Uchiha Police Hero who caught the child trafficker, and the cute and genius me when I will grow up! Limited Opening Sale!"
"..."
People stared at the posters for a bit, seemingly intrigued, but then went on with their lives.
"..."
And just like that, half an hour passed, and I couldn't sell a single thing. Is there recession going on? I mean, 50 Ryos aren't that much, are they?
Finally, the first person arrived. And it was my Naruto.
"Woah Shiori-chan! Is that me!?"
Naruto bounced excitedly as he saw his poster.
"Of course! Since you are my first customer, you win it for free!"
"Yay! Thank you Shiori-chan!"
As I gave it to him, he shouted and jumped excitedly, and ran towards the Hokage building. I just hope he shows it to his Jiji and he comes here to take a look.
As soon as Naruto went away, my second customer came. Kakashi!
"Hello! Are you interested in my manga, Shin-chan? I assure you this will be the best comedy manga you have ever read. Well, there was no manga in the library anyway, and all novels were pretty boring. Only 50 Ryo! Just for today!"
"Can I take a look first?"
"I have the sample displayed here. Feel free to read it."
And Kakashi, around the age of 17-18 started reading it. If he was interested or not, I don't know.
"I will take 10 copies."
Woah... He is my best customer so far!
"Thank you for your patronage. As a reward, would you like to have a poster of yourself? Somewhere around 10 years later? You are quite handsome."
"But most of my face is covered."
"That makes it better. And just as a secret-"
I gestured him to give me his ear.
"My drawings can see vague futures. You see this picture? That will be me, sitting on a bed made out of money. And I can also give you a prediction."
"What?"
"Naruto will be the strongest and most handsome person in the world."
"Hmm, why?"
"I just know it! My drawings tell vague future!"
"Oh? Then can you tell my vague future?"
"You know, it's not something I can control. I just had a dream about it when I was asleep. And then I will have to draw it or I will just forget about it. I think it will be ready next week. Do you want to commission it? You would have to come here for auction then."
Unlike all those reincarnators who keep their knowledge close to their heart, I am going to use it to make lots of money, while also ensuring that I will become too important to be killed or my head to be messed with. And not just money, I will also manipulate things as per my benefit in matters that don't involve money.
Like, making Kakashi stronger. And leveraging my importance to get Naruto and me some important things.
"Sure. Then I will see you next week."
"So please write your name, any hard clan distinction, like the Hyugas have weird eyes, and your age."
Kakashi did as I told him, and I smiled at him.
"Thank you for the patronage! As my second customer, you will get a special surprise gift next week!"
"Oh. Thank you miss seer."
"Mention not."
After paying 500 Ryo and taking 10 copies, he left.
Another 30 minutes passed, and I couldn't sell a single copy of the manga. People did take a look at the four posters and praised me, but just left.
Though, it was auction time, and some people did come. Young Tenten with her supposedly parents, Ino, and most importantly, Fugaku, Itachi and a 3 year old Sasuke who was holding Itachi's leg. So they are obsessed with each other from the start huh.
Suddenly, I saw money in front of me. Naruto did a great job in advertising.
"Welcome everyone to Shiori Manga Store! On this opening week, I have prepared these posters for you! First is of Hokage-sama, when he was young and strong!
Second is the brave Uchiha Policeman who saved me and many children in the orphanage from the evil child trafficker!
Third is Tsunade, the Sanin who punches everything to dust, satisfied after defeating the traitor Orochimaru!
And the fourth is Shiori-sama! Living the dream that everyone has! Just look at how she is enjoying herself with her money! Isn't it your dream to live like this too!? Though, it isn't really for auction. But the first three are!"
I will frame my poster in Naruto's apartment. So that he always sees me.
"The auction will begin now! The highest bidder out of the three posters will get a surprise gift along with the olbi-getory gift!
Bidding for the first poster of Hokage-sama. Bidding starts at 500!"
"500."
.
.
.
"1000."
.
.
.
"1500."
"1500 one! 1500 two! 1500 three! This poster is sold! Please collect it with your free gift! But please don't leave to see if you are the winner of the earlier prize I mentioned!"
Some no name kid handed me the money, and I gave him a Shin-chan manga as a gift. I just hope he comes here to buy the next chapter.
"The onto the second Posted! It is the Uchiha hero! The bidding starts at 500!"
"15,000."
Everyone was shocked. Fugaku just said 30 times the starting bid! Oh my gosh! I will milk him dry till he is alive! Hahaha!
"15,000 one! 15,000 two! 15,000 three! The second poster is sold! Please collect your poster and the free gift! But please don't leave to see if you are the winner of the earlier prize I mentioned!"
Fugaku paid 15,000 and I handed him the poster and manga. I hope Sasuke gets addicted to it.
"Now the third posted for Tsunade-sama! Bidding starts at 500!"
"500!"
"600!"
.
.
.
"2000!"
"2000 one! 2000 two! 2000 three! The third poster is sold!"
Tenten bought it. Well, her family must be relatively rich since she just throws away so many weapons everytime she fights.
"The winner is the person who bought Uchiha Hero's poster! Please come forward for your gift and surprise gift!"
I handed Fugaku his obligatory gift, Shin-chan, and motioned him to give me his ear.
"I can see future of people I see. So, I will draw the future as I see it in my dream. Who should I draw? Though I haven't been able to see the future of any big person till now."
"Hmm?"
He looked at me as if I am bullshitting and I am just making things up for money. But still, he pointed towards Sasuke.
"Then please state your full name, and any special clan distinction you may have. You know, like the Hyugas have white eyes."
"Uchiha Sasuke. And Uchihas are known for Sharingan."
As Fugaku told me that he is an Uchiha, I was surprised. I mean, I acted surprised.
"So you are from the same family as the Uchiha Hero. Please thank him for me."
"I will. And also, sell me 20 copies of the manga."
Good, Fugaku is really gullible huh.
"Thank you for your patronage!"
He left contently along with Itachi and Sasuke. While Sasuke was not paying much attention and just hugging Itachi's leg, I was loud enough for Itachi to hear. And he was mature enough to understand. Though, not mature enough to think like Hokage, despite what Itachi fanclub says.
Oh well. Things will become interesting next week.
