Chapter 44 – Novel publishing

Days always repeat yesterday. Such days are not boring, but they are too monotonous.

This morning, Chiba was writing a novel. He heard someone knock on the door and opened the door to see that he was a ninja.

“My lord, what’s the matter?”

“The school asked me to inform you to go to the school to sign up tomorrow.”

“Got it.”

It turned out to be the recruits of the Ninja School every year. Chiba just reached school age this year, so the school will send a notice.

To be honest, if you don’t go to school, Chiba doesn’t care at all. Mainly, it’s too boring at home. You can meet a few new friends at school.

After completing all the practice today, Chiba went to sleep.

The next day, after Chiba finished her practice in the morning, she went home and changed into clean clothes and went to Ninja School to sign up.

Chiba arrived at the Ninja School. There were dozens of people lining up to sign up here. Chiba was in the crowd and saw a Uchiha child who was led by an adult to sign up. The reason why Chiba paid attention to him was because the others who signed up were all A child from a civilian family.

Chiba walked to the side and just heard Uchiha Tomitake. It turned out that he was Uchiha Tomitake, the future Uchiha patriarch, Konoha guard captain, and also the father of Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke. Unfortunately, he died in the hands of his son. , But not worthy of sympathy.

Chiba queued to the end of the line and waited a long time before it was his turn. After filling in the information, Chiba went straight back.

Ninja School is still a few days away, and Chiba didn’t take the beginning of school seriously.

School will start in a few days. Chiba has basically stayed at home these few days. The novel has been completed, so I will discuss publication with Aunt Mito.Chiba sorted out the manuscript and went out to find Mito.



Came to Thousand Hands Residence.

“It’s Little Chiba, Tsunade hasn’t come back yet.”

“Aunt Mito, I am not looking for my sister, I am looking for you.”

“Find me?”

“I recently wrote a novel in my spare time. I want to get you to sign a name, write a good comment by the way, and help me contact the publishing house.”

“You still write a book!”

Mito’s expression was a little surprised.

“This is a book I wrote. Please read it through Aunt Mito.”

Chiba respectfully handed over the deposited manuscript, and Mito took it over. She thought that Chiba was writing a fairy tale, but she did not expect it to be a romantic novel.

Mito didn’t think Chiba could write very well, but at this point, she was deeply attracted by the story.

As time passed, Chiba became impatient, from sitting upright, to lying reclining with his head in his hands, until finally Chiba fell asleep.

When Chiba woke up from the cold, he found that Mito was still looking at the manuscript quietly, but his eyes were clearly passing by.

Chiba looked at the weather outside, and it was too early. It was estimated that Mito would not be able to finish it for a while, so he went back without saying hello.

The next day, as soon as Chiba came back from practicing, the people from the Qianshou family came over and informed him that Mito-sama wanted to see him.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)Chiba knew it was related to the novel as soon as he guessed it.

“Aunt Mito, you don’t seem to be in good spirits.”

“It’s okay.”

In fact, the reason is that Mito read the novel all night last night and kept seeing it at two o’clock in the morning.

Anyone who likes to read novels knows what’s going on.

“Chiba, your novel is so well-written, the words are accurate, the feelings are also delicate, the plot is twists and turns, it makes people feel one after another, your novel is published, it must be very popular.”

“That’s great, then can you ask Hokage to sign the book.”

In the previous life, those best-sellers would ask people to sign and write a preface, so that the books would sell better.

“I’ll go and invite the little monkey, it’s okay.”

“That’s great, thank you Aunt Mito.”

“What are you kidding me about, but your talent for writing novels is as high as your talent for cooking, so next time you publish a new book, remember to let me read it first.”

“no problem.”

After coming out of Mito’s house, Chiba even talked about how much a book would cost, but didn’t say how much money he made for a book. He believed that Mito would take care of it for himself.

The fact is also true. On the next day, someone from a publishing house contacted him. That person was not arrogant because he was a child. Chiba knew that he was afraid of Mito.Chiba invited him into the house, but did not invite him to drink the water. Chiba’s rude behavior made the person not angry, but more respectful.

He took out two contracts from his bag.

“How come there are two contracts?”

“My lord, one of the two contracts is a buyout and the other is a share.”

“How do you say the buyout, how do you say the division.”

“If you want to buy out, we will buy out at two hundred thousand words. If it is divided, we can only give you 20% of the net profit.”

In other words, if you buy out, you can only get 40,000 yuan for this book. If it is divided, if it sells well, it may be more.

Whether a book will sell well or not is actually unpredictable, so many authors will choose to buy out, and a small number of people who are confident in their own work choose to cooperate and share.

Chiba lost the contract without even reading it.

The man suddenly became nervous.

“Do you really think I’m so foolish? I believe you have read this book and asked someone to evaluate it. I don’t need to say how the book is. Needless to say, it is directed at Mito and Naruto’s signature and preface, this book will not worry about selling, now you take 20% to send a beggar!”

Although Chiba’s tone was plain, the person on the other side was fidgeting. Indeed, as he said, this book is absolutely exquisite. As long as there is a little publicity, it will definitely not worry about selling.

“Then how appropriate do you think.”

“I want this book to make 40% of the net profit.”

In other words, if the book is sold for 40 yuan, Chiba will get 16 yuan.”This……”

“This is my bottom line. Your interests have been fully considered. If you still hesitate, I believe there will be many publishers willing to accept my price.”

“Well, my lord, you are really a good negotiator. Let’s re-enact the contract.”

Next, Chiba and him negotiated all the details of the contract. Finally, the contract was okay, and then he signed his name.

“Happy cooperation, Mr. Chiba.”

“Happy cooperation.”

The person who sent away from the publishing house, Chiba did not worry about the matter, but Mito and Hokage-sama supported him, I believe he dare not engage in ghosts.

The previous contract had delayed his practice, so Chiba hurryed.

Picking up the domineering knife, Chiba waved it once and again. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, Chiba put away the knife and his arm was about to be broken.

The talent for cultivating the sword is really poor. It has been a few days since I can’t find the feeling, except for the improvement of proficiency, there is no substantial progress.

It seems that if you want to become stronger, you have to rely on the system. The burst rate of the fragments of this system is too low. If this continues, in the late stage of Naruto, he is still cannon fodder.

Chiba intends to temporarily abandon the practice of swordsmanship and focus on the three aspects of forbearance, body, and fantasy.

At present, only these three aspects can quickly improve their strength.

Tomorrow is about to go to school, Chiba sees that it is time for bed, so he quit the game to go to sleep.
