Chapter 109

Title: For Free

After looking for an opportunity to replace his clone, the memory of this period of time came to mind.

The leader of the caravan is called Yinamaru Yan, who sells some basic "iron tools" to and from Land-of-Rivers.

"Akabane Young Master, it seems that our cooperation can only be suspended."

Yinamaru Yan said helplessly.

Originally, there was Bang protection. Their trade has never had a problem. But who would have thought that Bang would be killed by a new enemy?

Before understanding the newcomer local tyrant's temperament, all trade was difficult to conduct especially for them merchants.

"Are you talking about their new leader? If that's what you are worrying about you don't have to since our clan's ninja will deal with him."

Akabane indifferently said and continued, "The first thing we should worry is, do you think my Comics can be sold here?"

Yinamaru Yan doesn't think that violent resolution is a good thing, but he also knows that it can only be done if the negotiations fail.

When Akabane finished asking, he thought about it for a while and then shook his head and said: "To be honest, we are not optimistic. Land-of-Rivers is too messy. It's hard to sell your entertainment products here for sure. "

Professional businessmen must be more authoritative in these aspects.

Akabane did not deny it, but continued to ask other things: "How about in the Land-of-Wind?"

"The same."

Said the person who was taking care of the goods and keeping their account.

"Land-of-Wind has great ambitions. Their money is used to research and purchase war weapons. How can they buy this thing!"

Yinamaru Yan said while shaking his head.

If it were not giving Yamano Izumi a face, he would not have agreed to a trial sale at all.

"Akabane, they are right, if you want to sell this in the Land-of-Wind…it's going to be difficult."

Kurama's clansmen are also not optimistic and voice their opinions.

They also do business. Although they are only inside the Land of Fire, they also know some business information in foreign countries.

"Hmm, how about if we don't sell it?"

Akabane pondered for a moment then asked, anyway, he is only doing this for points. And for money, he doesn't lack it at all.

"Not for sale?"

Not only Yinamaru Yan, but even Akabane's clansman also doesn't understand it.

"Yes, I just saw some pubs here. If you cooperate with the pub, how about giving my Comics to the pub regularly for free?"

Akabane said with a slight smile and continued, "Of course, I will pay!"

"Why do you want to do this?"

Yinamaru Yan was confused and didn't understand the meaning of this.

Not making money?

Should you spend money to show condolences to these rebel villains!

"Let them read it for free first, and wait for a while for them to like the story and then sell it later."

Akabane slightly smiled and continued,

"Also giving it for free will also make the comics circulate since some people will try to sell it for money."

"Your thoughts…"

Yinamaru Yan was stunned for a moment, and thinking about it carefully, it's really feasible.

However, the profit is still not too high.

"Is it not possible?" Akabane asked, seeing his hesitation.

"Um, no, but the profit may not be too high, you have to be mentally prepared."

Answered Yinamaru Yan.

"It's okay. If we want to develop the habit of people reading comics, you have to pay a price for it first."

Akabane answered lightly.

Giving it for free is not a bad deal for him who will receive points from them.

Of course…

Actually, Akabane has more ideas, such as mixing promotional ads in his comics to make it more interesting.

But he doesn't have any industry worthy of promotion, so he will give up for the time being.

"In this case, let's say we have established a cooperation?"

Akabane asked.

"Yes, I will bring your Comics in the future, but you need to negotiate by yourself at the tavern," said Yinamaru Yan.

"Don't worry, we will take care of this."

Said Kurama Shanyuan on the side.

He is a Special-Jounin that the Grand Elder sent to accompany the caravan with other clansmen that Akabane requested to man the Caravan.

"In this case, Shanyuan uncle, you leave a group of people here, and the rest will enter Land-of-Wind with me."

Akabane said.

"Okay."

Shanyuan nodded and then began to issue orders.

Walking out of Yinamaru Yan shop, Akabane saw many people gathered around the stall just watching the Comics from the side, not reading it all.

"It seems that your business is bleak."

Orochimaru slightly smiled. From the very beginning, he has been observing at the door.

There were many people coming and going to the shop, but no one paid for the book, but still, there are people who took it with them out of curiosity since it's free.

"It's okay. Losing money didn't hurt me that much anyway."

Akabane said lightly since he doesn't really care. 

With so many Ninjas in this town, although the strongest is only at the level of a Special Jonin, they can still contribute points to him.

As long as there are points, money and so on are not important.

"I see, so can we go now?"

Orochimaru asks while looking at the back, they have spent a lot of time here, and if they leave much later, I am afraid that there will be no way to reach the town within the Land of Wind before nightfall. 

"Not yet, we have to wait for a while."

Akabane said as he slowly sat down, and after a while, he continued, "If it's really not possible, we can be here for a while, anyway…"

"Anyway, they have given you a lot of faces, hehehe…"

Orochimaru smiled slowly. Due to his cooperation with Danzo, he read all the Big Shots in the Konoha Village.

Hatake Sagaki is always known for completing missions with no thread losses on his end. Not only did he let everyone rest more, but he also agreed to let Akabane leave the team. In any case, he treated Akabane extraordinarily.

"What are you talking about, I haven't eaten the fruit of face so there is nothing like that at all!"

Akabane twitched his lips hearing Orochimaru, he met Hatake Sagaki before he met him, so there is no special treatment At all.

"What is the fruit of face?"

Orochimaru froze for a moment but didn't understand whether Akabane's words were humorous or what they meant.

"It's a fruit from the Comics, everyone will save face for the user after eating it."

Akabane joked casually.

Orochimaru was stunned and then reacted, this guy must be cracking a joke.

Since there is no such fruit in the world.

At this time, Kurama Shanyuan walked out of the Shop.

He glanced at Orochimaru, and then calmly said: "Akabane, I left five Chunins, and the rest will go to Land-of-Wind with us."

Five Chunin…

If he didn't kill Shew from the sand village, these five are not enough to even become his warm-up.

But now, after dealing with him, these five can solve future problems themselves even if new local tyrants emerge again.

Because, due to the war, the Land-of-Rivers has always been poor.

Except for some fleeing ninjas, almost no one will run here, and most of the fleeing ninjas are at Chunin and Genin levels.

But thinking of this, I am afraid the origin of Shew is not simple.

Akabane glanced at Orochimaru while walking.

If that guy is sent by Hidden Sand Village, I am afraid it will be a little troublesome next.

However, Shew's death is more inclined to Hidden Mist's method. As long as Orochimaru is not caught, he can get away with no difficulty if problems arise.

They walked along the street, and many rogue ninjas glared at them like a tiger watching its prey.

This can be seen how chaotic really the Land of River is.

It didn't take long for Akabane to see Jiraiya-this guy probably made some mistake because he was tied up.

"Oh, an idiot is an idiot…"

When Orochimaru saw this scene, he couldn't help but mock Jiraiya to infuriate him.

"Bastard Orochimaru, I'm going to kill you!"

Jiraiya, who heard Orochimaru ridiculing him, struggled with all his might trying to get free from his position.

But due to how special he was tied, his struggle became futile.

"What's the situation?"

Kurama Shanyuan is a little confused, he remembers this guy is their teammate!

Hearing it, Hatake Sagiki's mouth twitched, but it quickly disappeared and said. "It's nothing, let's go."

Needless to say, he must have been caught while doing his research material.

Akabane, who already guessed what happened, ignored him showing no sympathy for his companions who are bound on a pole.
