"Master... can I help?"
Naruto had been back, but he had been working himself a lot harder than either herself or Yukino were. He was also cooking them breakfast and dinner, and gave them money to go buy lunch for themselves, while he worked himself. He was building an amazing looking set ups to be used for photo sessions with the featured model. He was currently hanging upside down from the ceiling, above a beautiful red heart shaped bed, setting up curtains from the ceiling, as well as installing bright, colored lights.
"You have experience building houses or sets?"
"No..."
"Then don't worry about it too much... anything you need to talk about?" Naruto asked Wendy, since unlike Yukino, Wendy could only practice her skills while Carla had the magic to fly around. She had moments when she didn't have a lot to do, and she only had so much experience with anything.
"No... not really... I just wanted to help you out... you are my Master." Wendy squirmed where she was standing.
"Hmmmm... can you lay on the bed for a moment, right under where I am?" Naruto asked her, since he wanted to picture something. Wendy tilted her head, before she laid on the bed, looking up at Naruto. Her body sank into the bed only slightly, but the red sheets contrasted her blue hair. Naruto lifted his hands up and framed her in them, like he was taking a picture. "... you have long hair... spread it out a bit for me... ah... yeah... dig yourself deeper in the bed... and lean a little." Naruto saw Wendy following his instructions.
He placed a mental image of Erza on top of Wendy, taking the poses Wendy was doing and replacing her in his head. He could imagine Erza doing all of those poses that Wendy was doing.
"Like this?"
"Yeah, perfect... when Erza is on this bed, you're going to need to hang upside down from this bar, like I am, to get the centerfold shot for this. Yeah... I can imagine this looking good. The red lights look great with you... but for Erza I should change the color to purple... maybe pink." Naruto could see the color that worked well with Wendy, clashing a bit too much with Erza now that he had a direct comparison.
"Master, we have enough ads now... that looks fun!" Yukino came into the room, and she saw Wendy was laying on the heart bed. She rushed over and jumped on the bed as well with all of the energy of an 11 year old. Naruto hummed in thought as he looked at the girls, scratching his chin in thought.
"Stay like that for a moment." Naruto flipped off the ceiling.
-10 Minutes-
Naruto had all of the golden keys both he and Yukino owned, and he started to place them around Yukino on the bed. He scattered them on the bed near her, before he took a dragon plushie and handed it over to Wendy.
"What are you doing?"
"They can't be sexy models, but this is an innocent picture... might as well introduce the guild members in the magazine." Naruto spoke to Carla, and he gestured for her to join Wendy and Yukino on the bed. She huffed and stayed where she was, he just rolled his eyes in response and raised the camera to his eyes. "... okay... face each other more, and look towards the camera out of the side of your eye..." Naruto gave instructions to the young girls.
"Like this?"
*Click*
"Yep, seems like a good shot... okay... Yukino, with all the ads done, you are free to write an interview for yourself... about a page. Introduce yourself as a member of Lewd Gods, Wendy, you do the same thing when you're done helping me test all the set ups." Naruto was going to use Wendy's help after all. She had longer hair than Yukino did, so he could get a better picture of Erza in each set up thanks to that alone. To see how her hair would react, and the sexiest way to manipulate the hair.
Getting hair to be sexy was always hard in anything, and he wanted to have an image in his head long before Erza even showed up for her photo shoot.
"Yeah, we get to be featured-"
"No, nononono... not featured... Erza is the featured model. You two aren't models, this picture is PURELY to introduce you as members of Lewd Gods... give people a little backstory for you... also this lets us put two pages of filler into the magazine." Naruto needed to picture if he was going to put their picture and interview before or after the centerfold, but he would decide that once they had everything they needed. "Yukino... you shouldn't call yourself a model... we are playing this very close to the line." Naruto looked at the picture he took.
No cleavage showing, no panties showing, the most he could see somebody seeing as sexual in the pictures was just the fact Wendy had her bare legs showing. The dragon plushie and golden keys made the picture have more of an innocence than sex appeal.
"How close."
"Well... I'm going back to work... this set is almost done. I just need to finish hanging the curtains, and order different colored lights."
"Why does the light color even matter?"
"Because it does... you don't want lighting that will make a woman with light skin have her skin clash with her hair... with Wendy and her blue hair, red lights make her seem like she is blushing... but with Erza, the blushing maiden doesn't work... and it clashes with her scarlet hair... not to mention you don't want a color that... it matters." Naruto didn't have the time to explain to the girls just how important lighting colors could be.
-The Next Day-
"Master, Wendy is taking pictures of some weird women... they aren't Erza."
"Yeah, we do need some other models... I just offered some jewels to some hotties off the street I found. How are you holding up Wendy?" Naruto looked at the red faces Wendy, and she was getting some practice in. He looked over her shoulder, and saw that she had a bright red face. He looked at the quality of her pictures as well.
Excellent.
Wendy pointed the camera at every part of those women's bodies in the way he imagined. Wendy focused the camera on the parts that she herself was focusing on, which just added more life to the photos. He could feel the jealousy, envy, and desire in each photo... they weren't the highest of class of photos, but then again... they weren't the featured model, or even as hot as Erza was.
They were filler models.
They existed in the magazine in order to take up spaces, while also giving peope a little variety in the eye candy they were looking at. They were hot, but only hot as far as normal women were concerned.
"Master... is it okay to-" Wendy stopped when Naruto placed his hand on top of her skull.
"You're doing a good job, your practice with Carla is paying off. Keep doing a good job... I'm going to go do some more set work... when you have all your photos of these girls, pick out the pictures you like best." Naruto rubbed the top of her head. He approved of her work.
Wendy smiled shyly under his praise, but she did smile.
"Yukino-"
"Yes Master?"
"Here, I want you to go to the store and pick up some supplies... then I need you to run across town and... Yukino!" Naruto snapped a few times in her face to get her attention. She had turned her head, and started to look at the hot model on her back, spreading her pussy for the camera. His snaps got her attention back on him. "... these are important errands. I'm going to write you a list... I need you to drop off order forms and payment at all of these places." Naruto gave her a bag of money, and he started to write a list for her.
She nodded with excitement, ready to work as hard as possible.
She had rewards waiting for her if she worked hard after all.
-2 Days Later-
"Okay... Wendy, go get some sleep, you're exhausted." Naruto was exhausted too, but he was used to exhausting all nighters. Wendy was exhausted from the all nighter that she pulled with him, filtering out the pictures she took.
She took hundreds of pictures of those models, but only 5 were going to be selected to go in the magazine, so she needed to look at EVERY photo as closely as possible and weed out any with any flaw to them. She had pulled her first all nighter doing her job, and was about ready to pass out.
"How are you still awake Master?" Wendy couldn't imagine it.
He was working so much harder than she was, and he was only in his late teens. He acted like he had years of experience working dull jobs, and pulling stressful all nighters. He didn't even seem all that tired, despite how exhausted he must be. He was editing all of the articles and placing them in the layout, as well as editing them all himself.
Now, they only needed the photos from Erza and her interviews, and for the other models to have their pictures added to the layout.
"It takes a lot of work to make a magazine... but you still need your rest, so don't worry about it. Can you put a pot of coffee on for me before you go to bed?" Naruto was going to get back to work, picking up the rest of the supplies he needed to build the last set for Erza's pictures. They didn't have much longer before she arrived and they needed to work.
"Yes Master..." Wendy got up, stumbled a little.
"Good girl... depending on how Erza's photos turn out, I might need to redo all of the layout to really make them pop... this first issue is critical." Naruto mumbled as he looked at his layout.
He hoped that it turned out like he imagined, otherwise he was going to need to stay up all night and redo the entire layout to feature Erza more.
"How much time do we have?"
"Well... I've already contracted a distributions company, so we have about 11 days before shipments need to go out. Erza should be here within the next 2 days... we're going to print about 500,000 magazines... if they sell out, we can publically announce a reprint of the issue... good publicity... a magazine so good the first issue sold out." Naruto was putting his entire brain to use.
He was the 7th Hokage.
He was the man who controlled the village that brought the ninja world into the future, and had immense financial and population growth. He knew a thing or two about how things needed to go in order to get total success. It was also the reason why he NEEDED to use somebody as infamous, famous, as Erza was... for the shock factor that got a lot of people interested.
He also bribed more than a few stores to stock his magazine in front of more mainsteam magazines, so that his magazine would be front and center in people's view.
Carla watched as a tired Wendy left the room.
"... If you know business this well... why don't you start up a company that isn't smut?" Carla didn't know what to make of this.
He knew his stuff, so why waste the knowledge.
"Spite... I am 50% doing this for spite, and 50% doing this to follow in the footsteps of a perverted master of mine. Make sure Wendy gets to bed, and gets some rest." Naruto asked Carla, not stopping his hands from working. He was working himself to the bone to make sure that when magazines hit the shelves, that not only would everything run smoothly, but they would have a huge blowout.
Carla turned her nose up at him, but nodded her head while following after Wendy.
...
"You get some sleep too... Wendy is very impressionable... if she sees you hard at work, she will try to work herself harder." Carla left with those words. She had nothing left to say, and didn't even wait for Naruto to respond to her. He grinned at the door when she closed it.
The door was picked up.
'That should do it... fuck, being this young really makes the all nighters hit different... helps not having children.' Naruto felt more energized than he did when he was Hokage. He would guess that was just the power of being younger, and not having the stress of a family and Hokage weighing on him. Back then, one mistake could lead to huge problems, but now... one mistake just meant having a magazine that wasn't quite as good.
As if he would let himself let a mistake go through though, because any job he was going to do, he was going to give his all for.
Time to get back to work.
