Teacher Dalong, the Famous Ninja World Novelist

"No need for your money, Kakuzu! I appreciate the thought, don't worry, our organization isn't short on cash!"

Hyuga Shin looked at the perfect employee, Kakuzu, who was dedicated to the organization, and immediately reassured him.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think, Didn't Konan in the original story dig Kakuzu's vault dry?

"Not short on cash!" Upon hearing Hyuga Shin's words, Kakuzu's eyes instantly lit up.

Sasori, who was silently grumbling to himself nearby, also felt a bit curious after hearing Hyuga Shin.

He thought that his teammate Kakuzu, who could offer eighty million Ryo, was already outrageous enough. He hadn't expected Hyuga Shin to not even care about it.

After Hidan gained a concrete understanding of one hundred thousand Ryo, he couldn't even do the math when he heard Kakuzu mention eighty million Ryo.

Now that Hyuga Shin said they weren't short on cash, not only was Kakuzu particularly excited, but even Sasori and Hidan looked at Hyuga Shin with a desire to learn.

"Leader, then how much reserve funds does our organization actually have?" Kakuzu's faith in money constantly fueled his curiosity, driving him to ask.

"Hmm, currently, one billion Ryo is not a problem."

Hyuga Shin frowned, calculated his personal vault, and stated the approximate amount.

"One, one billion Ryo!" Kakuzu's breathing instantly quickened. It was simply unimaginable that Hyuga Shin had so much money!

Sasori was also shocked by Hyuga Shin's deposit amount!

The entire Sunagakure's annual budget was only a little over three hundred million Ryo. Hyuga Shin's vault was enough to cover Sunagakure's financial expenses for three years!

Sasori, who had served as the Third Kazekage's bodyguard, knew this very well.

After all, Sunagakure was notoriously poor among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, unlike Konoha, whose annual budget was at least five hundred million Ryo.

The Land of Wind was not as wealthy as the Land of Fire, so the financial support provided was naturally not as high.

Sasori snapped out of his shock, no longer worried about the organization going bankrupt.

For an organization with only five members, Hyuga Shin's vault meant they were truly not short on cash!

When he thought about it this way, eating this meal didn't seem too excessive.

As for Hidan, he was still asking Kakuzu how much one billion Ryo was. He hadn't even figured out eighty million Ryo yet.

However, Kakuzu had no time to bother with him.

One billion Ryo! It was simply unimaginable!

He, Kakuzu, had worked for almost his entire life, completed countless missions! Faced numerous crises, extorted dozens of wealthy individuals, and still hesitated to indulge himself, yet he had only saved eighty million Ryo!

And Hyuga Shin? He could easily produce one billion Ryo! It was a complete dimensional strike!

Not only was the leader powerful, but he was also so rich!

Kakuzu's reverence and admiration for Hyuga Shin flowed like a never-ending river, like a boundless flood of the Yellow River, unstoppable.

"Leader, please tell me how you earned such a large sum of money. I've worked hard my entire life and only earned a mere eighty million Ryo. Please, tell me your method, I would be eternally grateful!"

The emotional Kakuzu could no longer suppress his curiosity and admiration, and immediately asked, even using the respectful "you."

Sasori, sitting beside him, felt speechless at Kakuzu's words. What the hell was "a mere eighty million Ryo"!

He himself had rarely seen even eight million Ryo. Most of Sasori's money was sponsored by his grandmother, Chiyo. After all, he was young and didn't have much cash.

"Puppet masters are truly f*cking expensive! Damn it!" Sasori had his first direct realization of his poverty.

"Well, about that..."

Hyuga Shin was momentarily at a loss for words.

It was really difficult to say.

He couldn't just tell them that he made it by writing adult novels, could he?

After Hyuga Shin retired from the ninja path, he had to rely on his own savings to get by.

After all, the Hyuga Clan's Main Family disliked him, so he received no financial support.

Therefore, the creation of his techniques consumed a large portion of his savings. Fortunately, before his vault was depleted, he had already achieved some results.

However, further research still required some financial support.

So, over ten years ago, Hyuga Shin embarked on the path of becoming a best-selling author in the Ninja World.

Writers in the Ninja World were quite profitable, and no one dared to pirate their works because the publishers were basically subsidiaries of the Daimyo of various countries.

They had strict control over books.

Especially books with inflammatory content, which could never be published.

Hyuga Shin, in order to earn some money to support his technique creation, decided to try writing some books.

Besides, he had a lot of free time outside of creating techniques.

Moreover, after his in-depth investigation at the time, adult novels were selling extremely well in the Ninja World.

And the Five Great Nations widely distributed these types of books because there was indeed a huge market for them.

Not only were ninjas buying them in astonishing numbers, but civilians bought even more!

It truly lived up to its name as one of the three poisons!

So, he bought several best-selling books for some research.

As expected, the writing was bland, the plot was weak, and the character descriptions and passionate scenes were merely superficial.

To him, who had the benefit of his past life's experiences, this was utter garbage!

And the kicker was that these readers were eating it up!

Unbelievable!

It seemed that the adult fiction in this world was still in its infancy, a massive goldmine!

Hyuga Shin immediately decided to broaden the horizons of these bumpkins in the Ninja World.

And make some money on the side to support his grand ambition of creating new techniques.

The key was that it was fast money!

And so, one night over a decade ago, the renowned best-selling author across the Five Great Nations, Teacher Dalong, made his grand debut!

His first book, Living with Beautiful Female Ninjas, swept through the Five Great Nations in a short period after its release!

The thrilling plot, the seductive descriptions, the stimulating scenes that made one's imagination run wild, the pain and struggle of being alluring yet reserved, loving yet unable to attain, and reluctant to part, all came vividly to life under Hyuga Shin's pen.

Like living, breathing characters, they easily drew readers into their world, letting their imaginations soar.

For a time, it was all the rage in the Five Great Nations.

This single work, disguised as adult fiction, brought Hyuga Shin a total income of over three hundred million ryo!

It was practically usury!

Robbing a bank wouldn't be this fast!

Next, Teacher Dalong went on to write The Story I Must Tell with My Beautiful Female Ninja Superior, Chronicle of Flowers in the Warring States, Inoue Takeo's Memoirs, My Ninja Career is Without Regret, To Those Beautiful Days Past, and over ten other works.

Each one was brilliant, and incredibly suggestive, yet unlike other authors, they weren't explicit or blunt.

This left readers to fill in the blanks with their own imaginations, making potent kidney-boosting pills an essential item for every fan.

Hyuga Shin understood his readers; you couldn't just tell them what the characters were like, you had to make them imagine what they would do if they were the characters.

That's how you created immersion.

An itch you can't scratch is the most unbearable. Bland descriptions couldn't compare to personal imagination.

Furthermore, Teacher Dalong also wrote a purely adult novel that sold out instantly.

To this day, it remains at the top of the adult fiction best-seller list, suppressing any authors who dare to imitate him.

These works bring Hyuga Shin hundreds of millions of ryo in royalties each year, with the lowest annual income never falling below three hundred million ryo, which is equivalent to Sunagakure's entire annual budget.

He was truly rich enough to rival a village!

And now, at this stage, wealth held no practical use for Hyuga Shin; it was merely a pile of scrap paper.

However, it was a significant support for the Spark Organization.

"Leader, do you have some... unspeakable difficulty?"

Kakuzu asked, noticing Hyuga Shin's hesitation.

"Not exactly, I just feel it might not be suitable for you to do. The organization won't be short on money in the future anyway."

Hyuga Shin felt a slight embarrassment and tried to brush it off.

He still had some pride to maintain.

He couldn't tarnish his shining image in front of the organization's members.

"Then, may I ask what industry you are in, Leader? Being a ninja probably can't earn you this much money, right?"

Hyuga Shin had underestimated Kakuzu's obsession with money.

He hadn't expected that even with his ideals and aspirations, Kakuzu would still be so infatuated with money.

"It's nothing much, I just wrote a few novels and made a little pocket money."

Faced with Kakuzu's persistent questioning, Hyuga Shin reluctantly revealed his source of income.

"Writing novels? That really doesn't seem suitable for me." Kakuzu looked a bit dejected.

"Wait, what kind of novel can possibly make this much money?! Are there any novelists in the Ninja World who earn this much?" Kakuzu's mind instantly became suspicious.

"There really are!" Kakuzu thought carefully and a guess began to form in his mind.
