Young Guy!

Make-Out Series.

Those four words appeared in Guy's mind.

They were Jiraiya's masterpiece, a trilogy in total.

Make-Out Paradise, Make-Out Violence, Make-Out Tactics.

Three... adults-only erotic novels.

Yet these books sold astonishingly well throughout the Shinobi World!

According to incomplete statistics, each individual volume had sold over a million copies!

Three books meant three million copies!

Even if each book sold for only 500 ryo, the entire trilogy would bring in more than a billion ryo in cold, hard cash!

After deducting publishing costs and various miscellaneous expenses.

He would still pocket at least three or four hundred million!

"What was Asuma's bounty again? Thirty-five million ryo?"

"That's equivalent to ten Asuma heads?"

Guy's gaze grew feverish.

This was all gleaming silver!

Right now, Jiraiya was merely a third-rate writer who had written The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi.

Its protagonist was named Naruto.

That was also why Minato Namikaze had named his son Naruto—he admired the story's main character.

And Make-Out Paradise was written after the Third Shinobi World War had ended and Orochimaru had defected.

Jiraiya had created it while pursuing Orochimaru's trail.

Right now, it had not been written yet!

"Get there before Jiraiya and write Make-Out Paradise?"

The thought surfaced in Guy's heart, impossible to suppress.

He felt no burden whatsoever about beating Jiraiya to it.

Although Jiraiya's books earned a great deal of money, most of it had basically gone toward repaying Tsunade's debts.

During that period, Tsunade had developed hemophobia and spent her days gambling and drinking herself into a stupor in Tanzaku Town, racking up a mountain of debt.

Jiraiya had paid back most of it for her.

That was also why, even though everyone knew Tsunade had no money, they still happily gambled with her.

They knew someone would pay her
