As a transmigrator, Hozuki Shingetsu knew all too well what ordinary people liked to read.
The misfortunes of high-ranking leaders, the scandals of various faction heads, and rumors and gossip—without a doubt, these were the things ordinary people enjoyed discussing over tea and after meals.
The stark class divide in real life made talking about such topics all the more satisfying.
The greater the contrast, the stronger the thrill.
So Hozuki Shingetsu decided to capitalize on this and fan the flames. Using Konoha's leader, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the others as his subjects, and the classic dirty books he'd enjoyed in his previous life as his templates, he would launch the Shinobi World's first wave of sexual rumors.

But recreating one in the Shinobi World was undoubtedly impossible.
The most important reason was that there weren't enough naive intellectuals to seize political power, and the Shinobi World didn't
