Tsunade was silent and looked a bit upset.
Akabane took notice of it. It just felt weird how she became silent all of a sudden. Akabane couldn't hold it anymore and glanced back at her and asked.
"What happened to my sassy friend?"
"Uhh, annoying."
Tsunade came back to her normal self, then sighed softly.
The way Akabane handled things from the factory before was just like how her grandpa and father acted.
She was bothered by some thought and suddenly asked, "Akaba, have you ever dream of becoming a Hokage one day?"
"Hokage? I've never thought about that, but I know that becoming Hokage is a tiring task, especially for someone weak like me. All I want is a peaceful life while I run my comic store."
The way Akabane explained his dream was not a child that could be understood, especially Tsuna. With how chaotic the world currently is, he didn't know if his dream would be fulfilled.
"Hahaha, you sounded just like an old man, but I can imagine such a dream coming from you."
The tender and cheerful laughter resounded through the woods.
Akabane felt a bit embarrassed.
At this time, Tsunade's younger brother had not been born yet, and she hasn't known the tragedy that she has to suffer from. But Akabane knew it well. He could only enjoy her laugh for now.
Akabane slightly smiled a little.
"When we go back, where should we go next?"
Tsunade regains her good mood, she immediately becomes chatty again.
"This is enough for me today, this past two days, I haven't taken a good rest, and I still need to re-draw other posters that you just took from me before.."
Akabane refused with a hint of annoyance.
When they left, the factory had started printing his comics. Once he came back home, he could finish his decoration sketch and headed straight to the preparation.
"What, Akabane became a hard-worker.''
She said that with a teasing tone.
"…yeah, whatever."
Akabane sighed helplessly.
His comic store needs to sell not only the comic book but also various posters and merchandise, so he must work harder than before.
He was lucky enough to be reborn again in Naruto's world. This one-time opportunity must not be wasted.
"Well, I can see you're tired. We should go back to your home now and let your clone help you work."
"Uhh yeah.. you're rig—wait, we?"
Tsunade tried to smile as cute as possible while looking at Akabane's annoyed expression.
Akabane took a deep breath and said, "Huuh… Okay, your majesty, we'll do it your way."
Akabane has grown an immunity from Tsunade's presence, after all, he didn't intend to be lazy anyway because there are a lot of things to do.
Both of them walked slowly towards his house.
As soon as they went back, Akabane immediately took his tools and left again in a hurry.
They planned to work in the woods near his house. If it wasn't for Tsunade, he wouldn't go to the woods at all. The reason was that Tsunade still felt embarrassed from her last night's visit.
It took a few minutes to arrive at the place from his house, although not physically he was already exhausted from walking back and forth from different places.
Of course he want to complain but he knows it's impossible with Tsuna on his side who will beat him to pulp if he utter a word.
After they arrived, Akabane created a clone, then both of them started working together.
He drew large posters, but not all the paintings are from Naruto. Akabane also drew posters from other comics, such as One Piece, Bleach, and any other that he could remember.
Tsunade was supervising him at first but noticed that he was really into his drawing, so she decided to practice on a grassland a bit further from him.
Akabane spent the whole morning drawing.
However, his big posters took him a long time to finish. By the time his mother came to deliver his lunch, Akabane only managed to complete two posters.
As for Tsunade, she hasn't come back until noon.
During the afternoon, both of them are still busy with their things.
Until the evening, he took notice of a familiar figure.
On the roadside chair, there was Jiraiya deeply thinking about something. It must be something important because he looked somewhat depressed.
"Oy! Jiraiya-kun! What are you doing there alone?"
Akabane asked curiously.
Hearing his friendly voice, Jiraiya immediately stood up and said, "Akaba-kun! you finally come back!"
Then he ran towards Akabane excitedly.
"You've been waiting for me?"
Akabane put his pen down and stopped drawing. Then he looked at Jiraiya suspiciously.
Later, he found that Jiraiya was holding two pieces of crumpled paper in his hands.
"I… I tried to draw some pages but only managed to finish two. Do you mind taking a look?"
Jiraiya showed Akabane his drawing looking timidly.
"Your drawing?"
Akabane was shocked for a while then replied.
"It seems that you want to follow my path to become a cartoonist?"
Jiraiya would be a great author in the future, but to make good comics needs more than a good story.
Akabane took a look, and suddenly felt and suddenly felt shocked
He breathed deeply, then slowly continued to read it.
"What do you think of it?"
Jiraiya curiously asked.
"Jiraiya, have you shown this to Tsunade?"
Jiraiya confidently said.
"Yep.."
Speaking of Tsunade, Jiraiya could not help but sigh.
"She hit you, didn't she?"
"..yep."
"Jiraiya, the story that you told in these pages was indeed good, even I want to know what happens next. But your drawing is the problem…"
Akabane carefully chooses his words because he didn't know how to put them.
To put it short, how Jiraiya made a story from only two pages is astounding. The problem is how he drew it. There are messy lines everywhere and hard to see as a comic.
Well, his drawing skills are normal at his age.
"But I also think I've drawn it very well. It must be Tsunade's ego that just couldn't accept my art."
After hearing this, Jiraiya took back his pages with excitement, then laughed wildly with a smug face.
He didn't even notice that Akabane was giving him a critique.
"No, what I'm saying is.."
Akabane was about to explain his flaws, but when he looked up, he found that Jiraiya had already run a dozen steps away triumphantly.
Ah.. well, after all, he is the one who wrote the legendary series of the erotic book in the future.
Akabane stayed for a while, then sighed and sat down on the grass.
Jiraiya is somewhat a talented author, but there is a lot to polish.
Fortunately, his ninjutsu is at least relatively normal…
"Yeah.. normal for the current time.."
Akabane was startled for a moment.
Soon enough, he will come to learn about the seduction of ninjutsu, and it wouldn't be the same again.
"Gosh, what did I do!"
"I should've not daydreaming while having a lot to do. I'm sorry, Jiraiya."
Akabane sighed and continued his work.
If Jiraiya wants to learn to make comics, he needs to practice from now, or else it would be a waste of talent. But then again, after all, Jiraiya would release his book and become the three legendary ninjas.
But there's a catch, what if Jiraiya was too addicted to comics and the whole history of being "the child of prophecy" will change?
