The Kakashi Trio hurried over.
Kakashi asked, "Teacher Minato, have enemies infiltrated the village?"
Minato shook his head. "No. Maybe I just imagined it."
"By the way, Kakashi, have you encountered anything strange lately?"
Kakashi rubbed his head. "Actually, there is one thing. Whenever I read, I feel a chill down my back, like a ghost is watching me."

How had he managed that?
By writing Smut Books—cuckold erotica, no less. He'd written Liao Wu as a blondie who bullied Tsunade, while Jiraiya played the cuckold and seemed to enjoy it.
Kakashi promptly took a
