And this was Akali’s method!
Anyone who has watched Naruto knows that Naruto’s Sexy Jutsu can instantly defeat Iruka, Kakashi, and the Third Hokage at the lower end, and even daze Ōtsutsuki Kaguya at the higher end.
Naruto’s Sexy Jutsu can be called the ultimate meta-answer of the Ninja World.
With such a heaven-defying effect, if only a small group of people like Iruka, Kakashi, and the Third Hokage got to experience it, wouldn’t it be a waste of Naruko’s peerless beauty?
So, using the temptation of learning a new Ninjutsu, on a fine, sunny afternoon, Akali found a quiet little grove and shot a set of photos with Naruto, titled “Fox Traces in the Woods.”
Then, she turned around and submitted these photos to a magazine, earning a handsome reward.
She then used this reward for a lucky draw, obtained the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, and taught it to Naruto—a true win-win…
“Oh, so that’s what you’re talking about!”
Snapping back from her memories, Akali asked in confusion, “Is there a problem?”
“Is there a problem?” Clutching the magazine in his hand, Naruto gritted his teeth.
“Of course there’s a problem!”
“Akali, what did you tell me back then?”
Naruto clenched his fists.
At the time, Akali had told him that she had a Jonin relative who was like a horny devil, whose favorite thing was photos of pretty young ladies.
Since Akali was planning to visit them soon, if she could cater to their tastes, they might get happy and teach her a few Ninjutsu techniques.
At the same time, Akali promised that she would unconditionally teach Naruto any Ninjutsu she learned from that relative.
Obtaining Ninjutsu just by using Transformation Jutsu to pose for some photos—even with Naruto’s brain, he knew this was an incredibly good deal, so he gave it a try.
And from just that one time, Akali actually managed to get him a Ninjutsu called the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Relying on the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, Naruto could still remember Iruka’s shocked expression during the previous Clone Jutsu mock exam.
So he planned to follow up, go to bookstores to study and gather material, and perfect his Path of Seduction.
But who would have thought that his Path of Seduction didn’t need perfecting—it had already reached completion!
Because on the cover of the most popular suggestive magazine recently was none other than him after using the Sexy Jutsu!
In fact, if the bookstore owner hadn’t owned three copies himself—one for preaching, one for reading, and one for collecting—and shown him the preaching one, Naruto wouldn’t even have known he had been sold out by Akali!
Although the photos he shot with Akali that day were of an aesthetic style and didn’t show anything explicit, there was still a huge difference between showing it to just one person as promised versus showing it to a whole crowd.
Just thinking about his transformed photos being used by countless people to masturbate every day, a deep, inescapable shiver ran down his spine.
At the same time, a surge of anger from being deceived rushed straight to his head!
Naruto hated deception the most!
[Ding! Emotion points from Naruto +999!]
Under Akali’s surprised gaze, Naruto’s breathing grew heavy, and wisps of an ominous Chakra began to leak from his lower abdomen.
“So angry…” Looking at Naruto, Akali was a bit surprised at first.
But thinking about Naruto’s personality, she understood why.
Thus, Akali did not panic; she had already prepared for this scenario beforehand.
“Sorry, Naruto, I lied to you!” Akali said bluntly.
“There is no Jonin who is like a horny devil. Even if there were, they aren’t in the Village right now, and the man in the Village who could be called a pervert isn’t quite that lecherous yet.”
“The photos I took of you were meant for this from the very beginning!”
“What!!?” Naruto was stunned.
He thought Akali would make a long speech to defend herself, but he didn’t expect her to admit it so straightforwardly.
So a question popped into Naruto’s mind.
“Why?” Naruto asked.
Since there was no such Jonin, it meant Akali had provided the Ninjutsu herself.
If Akali had provided the Ninjutsu just to humiliate him, then a lot of people would probably beg her to humiliate them like this.
“To sell them for money, of course!”
Akali answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
She pointed at the suggestive magazine in Naruto’s hand.
“Do you know how much this single set of photos is worth?”
“Two hundred thousand ryo!” Before Naruto could answer, Akali answered her own question.
“Two hundred thousand ryo! A B-rank mission only pays up to a hundred and fifty thousand ryo at most. Two hundred thousand is enough to post an A-rank mission!”
“A-rank missions are the domain of Jonin. A Ninja like Mizuki-sensei has never executed an A-rank mission in his entire life.”
“Yet just this one set of photos is worth two hundred thousand ryo! Naruto, do you know what kind of concept that is?”
Akali took a step forward, looking at Naruto with burning eyes.
“This…”
Naruto was stunned by the price Akali mentioned.
[Ding! Emotion points from Naruto +999!]
Of course Naruto knew what two hundred thousand meant.
Put it this way: as a war orphan, his usual living expenses came from the Village’s subsidies, which was only about twenty-five thousand a year.
Two hundred thousand ryo was a full eight years of his living expenses!
“Is it really that much?” Naruto still found it hard to believe.
Perhaps without even noticing it himself, his attention had already shifted from Akali tricking him into taking photos to sell, to the money.
And this was exactly the effect Akali wanted!
Akali pressed her advantage.
“Of course! Don’t underestimate my photography skills!”
“Oh, by the way, speaking of which, take this too!”
Akali pulled out a small stack of bills and handed them to Naruto.
Naruto took them and casually counted them.
There were 10 bills, each with a face value of 10,000 ryo, so the total was…
“One hundred thousand ryo!”
Naruto trembled all over.
Having never held such a huge sum of money before, he almost let go!
Fortunately, Naruto reacted quickly with his other hand, preventing the money in his grasp from flying away.
But Naruto was still a bit confused.
“Why are you giving this to me?”
“This is your cut. After all, you were involved, even though I tricked you into it!” Akali answered naturally.
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and a hint of suspicion appeared on her face as she looked at Naruto.
“You don’t think it’s too little, do you?”
“Taking photos requires skill and planning, and I was also the one responsible for negotiating with the magazine. I only took a fifty percent cut, which is already very fair!”
“Naruto, don’t be too greedy as a Ninja!” Akali warned him.
“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant! I just didn’t expect…”
Naruto scratched his head with a silly grin.
Trading a Ninjutsu for him to take photos, where he got the Ninjutsu and Akali got the money—but since Akali hadn’t made the details clear beforehand, it counted as a deceptive transaction.
It was like Tazuna only paying for a C-rank mission but having Team 7 fight A-rank monsters.
But not only did she give him the Ninjutsu, she also split the earned money with him fifty-fifty.
This was no longer deception!
This was a true godmother!
Without exaggeration, giving him money and Ninjutsu…
Having been lonely and helpless for so many years, Naruto had never met anyone as good to him as Akali!
What deception?
That was just his godmother hiding the truth out of kindness, fearing he would be embarrassed!
Naruto’s attitude toward Akali underwent a slight change.
Even though Akali had tricked him into crossdressing for photos and even used the Transformation Jutsu to turn into him and tease Hinata…
She was actually surprisingly nice!
