Chapter 98

Title: Does Devil Fruit Exist? ​​

"Kyaa~ Both Kakashi and Itachi are very handsome, I love it!" Erika squealed like a fangirl.

Although she was scammed twice, Erika didn't feel discouraged at all, but rather, she became even more excited when she saw Itachi and Kakashi.

After they left Jiraiya's stall, they then went to where Sakumo was located.

Tsunade who heard Erika's remark couldn't help but let an evil laugh and she asked.

"Itachi is very handsome, I admit, but why did Kakashi become handsome when only one of his eyes can be seen?"

"Of course, Kakashi must be handsome under the mask!"

Erika retorted loudly.

Hearing it, Tsunade mocked then replied, "How can you know that? maybe he has buck teeth or sausage lips, that's why he was covering it ."

"How can it be!"

Erika became angry hearing it and turned her head to Tsunade with a fierce expression,

However…

"Why are you so fierce?"

Tsunade asked with her fist raised threateningly.

Seeing it, Erika's fierce face immediately became tame and said meekly.

"I…I just said that Kakashi won't look like that."

"Hmph, this is what Akabane said personally, right?"

Looking at Tsunade's squinting eyes, Akabane is a little confused,

This is an unfathomable mystery. Why did she suddenly ask him when he was just a bystander on their farce? but after thinking about it carefully, he really said it.

When Kakashi just came out, many of his friends in the class were also curious about what's under his mask so Akabane said these words in a joking manner.

But if he said it, Tsunade's anger would definitely be directed at him so he plays it safe.

"Akabane big brother, really?"

Erika looked at him desperately. If there are really sausage lips and big buck teeth under the mask…

"Don't mind the details."

Playing it safe, Akabane answered without admitting it while also not denying it.

But because Erika is just a child and she didn't receive the answer she wanted, her face instantly fell, she looked like someone who's dream got broken.

----

From this road to the front is the exhibition site set up by Uzumaki Mito.

Although she is still in the stands where the Daimyo is, she still can use her clone to attend her post!

Following the two little girls who were like a tiger cub and its mother, Akabane couldn't help but sigh. And he was more determined to find a chance to use Shadow Clone and Earth Style to escape without Tsuna's noticing it.

Since if he stays longer between the two, he will be squeezed in the middle of their fight, and that will surely drain him.

"My grandma set up a stall in front of us. So be sure to be more respectful, you understand?"

Tsunade turned her head and said, trying to teach Erika.

Akabane who was at their back seeing his chance immediately used Shadow Clone and Earth Jutsu to enter the ground in a split second without Tsunade's noticing it, leaving a Clone in his previous position.

"I know, Grandma Mito is a Legendary character!"

Erika replied badly.

"Akabane, keep up, you are so slow!"

Tsunade didn't forget to call Akabane up.

"Yes, right away."

"Akabane" replied lightly, then quickened his pace, and it didn't take long for him to keep up with them.

----

In a bush more than a dozen steps away…

Akabane, who looked cautious, suddenly popped out of the earth.

'The clone did not disappear, it succeeded!' Akabane thought delightedly while sighing in relief.

If it didn't work, Tsunade will surely beat him to a pulp for tricking her without holding back her power for sure.

After waiting for Tsunade and the Princess to leave the surrounding range and waiting several minutes, he got out of the bushes, with an exhausted face.

"First go to Yunlang to take a look, then find a place to hide."

Akabane muttered while cautiously looking around.

The place where the girls will pay a visit too is definitely a dangerous place that he can't endure for long.

----

In a few minutes, he traveled to the mountain forest with ease.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Kurama Yunlang's stall. There were a lot of people there, and many people gathered around the stall to watch.

"Young Master, you finally…"

"Shh!"

Akabane directly gestured his hand to let Yunlang not make a fuss about nothing.

Kurama Yunlang didn't know what was going on, but he still did as he was told, constricting his voice obediently.

Entering the crowd, Akabane leaned over.

He has quietly used Transformation Jutsu earlier to change his appearance and turned into a child with an inconspicuous appearance.

"What manga is this?"

Akabane picked up a copy of "One Piece" and deliberately started to talk to ask.

"The new manga is called One Piece."

Someone replied.

"Is it good to read?"

Akabane asked.

"It's hard to say since the style of painting is a bit weird."

"It's actually not bad when you are used to it, and the so-called Devil Fruit is also very interesting."

"When it is updated, you can still buy it and have a look."

With everyone asking and answering, everyone immediately started a heated discussion.

Akabane sits on the side and listens quietly. The market for "One Piece" is pretty good, and everyone can basically accept it.

But for Konoha readers, Naruto is clearly more popular.

This is a geographical advantage and it is difficult to change.

"Speaking of which, Boss Yunlang, are these for sale?"

Someone from the crowd asked, planning to buy and collect it.

"These fifty books are not for sale."

Kurama Yunlang lightly said with a smile.

"It's a pity."

Everyone sighed.

100 taels are not expensive, but these fifty copies are the first batch and are definitely worth collecting.

"Boss, what is the position of the colonel?"

"I don't know this."

Kurama Yunlang glanced at Akabane awkwardly and found that his young Master also didn't want to explain at all, so he had to answer incompetently.

"It's a pity, why is Akabane not here today."

Many people sighed.

Although it's not for sale, they still take it to read while sitting down around the stall and take a look at Comics while also talking about the plot.

Which feels really good.

Unfortunately, the author is not here…

Akabane sank into contemplation, he did ignore this.

After all, to him, colonel and so on are all common sense, and it seems that there is no need for explanation.

But now he is in Naruto World.

"It seems that I have to add a few pages of settings later. Fortunately, I didn't let Yamano-san print too much."

Akabane didn't immediately leave and just sat there while listening to his readers' thoughts about the story.

Many of the questions his readers said made him quite elucidating and helpful to the follow-up formal publication.

No wonder those games have to come to the beta first before they officially release it.

At this time, a silhouette walked in from outside, he found a place to sat down after picking up a Comic.

Orochimaru?

Although it has been disguised, Akabane instinctively feels that he is Orochimaru for some reason.

At the same time, Orochimaru also looked over.

The two glances at each other nodded their heads in acknowledgment of each other's disguise.

"One Piece, the manga that describes the sea?"

After he opened it, his eyes quickly scanned the painting, but he turned to the next page in a moment.

Akabane stood by, observing his behavior secretly.

One page, two pages…

After turning a few pages, Orochimaru finally stopped.

He pondered and asked: "Is there really a devil fruit like this in the world?"

Although his voice was not loud, it was still heard and in an instant, the people who were also reading the comics were silent.

Everyone looked over. Several people who had been talking before tried to open their mouths, but in the end, they didn't speak.

After a few seconds, someone finally couldn't help laughing: "How could it be, it's just manga, child, you think too much."

"Yes, If there is this thing, it would be too absurd."

When someone starts denying it, others will also deny it.

However…

From beginning to end, Orochimaru doesn't care about their answers, his eyes are fixed on Akabane, full of thirst for the unknown.

"How could there be devil fruits, it would be too ridiculous to have that kind of thing."

Akabane shook his head and answer knowing the question was directed at him.

Of course he knows very well that the devil fruit is true.

If he exchanges one from the system and throws it away, there will naturally be a devil fruit in the world, but his points are not coming from thin air, and he hasn't reached the point where he can redeem a devil fruit yet.

"It's a pity."

Orochimaru sighed, it seems that his interest in the Comics in his hand has diminished several times in an instant.

Although he is still flipping, it is obviously faster.

But when he flipped over, he suddenly flipped back to where a certain man was drawn. 'A rubber man?'

"The stretchable and soft physique is really interesting …"

Orochimaru thought for a moment, and then his eyes shined.

Stretching is difficult with the human body, but it is not difficult to develop the soft characteristics.

"Um, I can try it."

He noted it down and was interested in the comic again.
