After returning from the Sand Village, Shiranui Genmamon spent a rather leisurely vacation.
Clean up the house and go for a stroll on the street.
Or you can go to the claw machine to practice your hand feeling - because of the wobbly big clamp, many ninjas will challenge their operating ability.
Although the clips are not very powerful, they can be inserted into the corners accurately. For example, the gaps in the doll's clothes, the gaps between the neck and the arms, as long as they are inserted into and hung on the clips, there is still a great chance that they will be clipped out.
We are all ninjas, how can we not be able to do this?
Play three or five rounds, and then buy two cups of milk tea at the milk tea shop.
In short, it is quite moisturizing.
So when the new task came, he was even a little impatient.
He has completely recovered from the fatigue caused by being busy in the Sand Village, and now it's time for him to show his skills!
Just this mission...
"Delivering the latest novel to Short Book Street... is that so?"
Now ninjas are needed to transport books?
"This is a request from publishers and bookstores. They want to get the books to bookstores as quickly as possible."
Minato Namikaze, who issued the task, paused.
“They even added money.”
Genmamon Shiranui, who was about to mutter a few words, immediately shut up.
Who cares what the reason is?
Add money and everything is negotiable.
So he rode overtime and worked all the way to the publishing house, and then rushed over mountains and across rivers to bring the book to the bookstore on Short Book Street.
Just a few hundred books, this weight is not a problem for him!
He was a man who had experienced the hardships of carrying hundreds of kilograms of beef and mutton from the Sand Village.
Are you afraid of this weight?
The bookstore manager was very satisfied with his excellent speed, so he specially opened a book for him.
"This is a popular story, and it's about ninjas! Just take it back and read it!"
Without waiting for Shiranui Genmamon to refuse, he quickly stuffed the book into Shiranui Genmamon's arms.
Genmamon Shiranui blinked and accepted the book "Young Heroes" (Part 1) with a beautiful cover.
Different from the blurred covers that are popular in this era.
The cover of this book features several young boys and girls.
Everyone's image is very
Bright, with vivid expressions - like a carefully painted painting.
But Shiranui Genmamon was not a person who liked reading, so he just stuffed the thing into his luggage and forgot about it.
It was not until two days after he returned that he remembered that he had not yet finished packing his luggage, and was spotted by Bingzu Leitong who happened to be looking for him. Bingzu Leitong had originally come to ask him out for dinner and to arrange a sparring match tomorrow, but now he was distracted by the novel.
"What is this? Xuanjianmen, did you buy a novel to read?"
They picked up the novel with the exquisite cover and shook it twice.
——I didn’t expect that Xuanjianmen has such a quiet preference?
Only then did Shiranui Genmamon remember the book that the bookstore owner forced him to buy.
"No, it's not. It was given by the employer of this mission."
He recalled.
"It's a hot ninja story or something..."
"It's a story about ninjas."
The similarities are a bit interesting.
"Then I'll take it back and have a look."
"You can take it."
Genmamon Shiranui didn't care at all.
He had no interest in novels. If it was about ninjutsu or the latest analysis of hidden weapons, he might take a look. But forget about novels, because they were just stories made up by others.
The result was something he never expected.
The next day, he arrived at the same time as he had agreed with Bingzu, but found that the other party was late.
After waiting for a while and still not seeing anyone, he simply went to the house. He knocked on the door several times and thought something had happened to the other party before he finally heard some movement from inside.
“What are you doing!”
They said the same unpleasant words.
"What are you doing... Didn't you ask me to spar with you?"
Looking at his companion who looked angry for some reason, Shiranui Genmamon was confused.
He is the one who was stood up, so if anyone is angry, he should be the one, right?
It was only then that they reacted.
"Ah... that's what happened."
He rubbed his face and then got startled.
"Is it already this time gate?"
"Yeah." Shiranui Genmamon looked puzzled, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
How could you not even notice that the time gate had arrived?
"That's it..." He hesitated and said in the same way, "That's it
Yes...I read the novel."
"……ha?"
All the thousand books on Genma Shiranui's mouth fell off.
"You said you didn't notice the time gate just because you read a novel?"
However, his attitude made Bingzu Leitong unhappy.
"How can you say just that? That's 'Young Heroes'!"
How can that be compared with those shallow and useless novels! ?
Genjianmen Shiranui slowly formed a question mark in his heart.
“Isn’t that just a novel?”
He doesn't understand.
But after hearing his words, Bingzu Leitong immediately said righteously: "Young Heroes is different! This is the journey of Chikuwa, Mayumi and Shuu for justice and salvation!"
Shiranui Genmamon: "No, it's just a novel after all."
That's just a story someone made up.
Bingzu Leitong dragged him into the house on the spot, then found the book and stuffed it into his hand:
"It's completely different. You'll know once you see it. Look!"
"Isn't it just a story..."
Shiranui Genmamon said this and opened the first page with a bit of anger in his mind.
He wanted to see what this story was about that made his teammates forget the time they had agreed to leave with him!
After reading it, I laughed at him for being so obsessed with a story.
——And then nothing happened.
On this day, neither of them came out of the same room door.
Afterwards, the two brothers almost fought over the ownership of the book.
“This was given to me by someone!”
"But you gave it to me!"
"I'm lending it to you! I'm lending it to you, understand?"
"You didn't say 'borrow' before!"
The two argued with reason.
In the end, they both felt that only one book was not enough, so they decided to go to Short Book Street together to buy another book, and only then did they calm down.
However, this peace only lasted until the two of them rushed to the bookstore on Short Book Street.
When the two arrived, there was already a line outside the bookstore on Short Book Street.
They looked at each other and almost immediately realized that something was wrong. But before they could join the team, they saw the store staff coming out:
"Sold out! 'Young Hero' is sold out!"
“Why are they sold out again!”
"I came here specially from somewhere else!"
The people in the queue wailed.
In just a few days, "Young Heroes" has become a phenomenal work that people can't put down, thanks to its powerful rhythm, plot that hits people's hearts, and the character settings on the powerful cover.
It has even caused the situation where the book is hard to come by now.
We don’t even dare to put up promotional videos like posters in the store, otherwise they will disappear as soon as we put them up.
But even if one can only see the determined expression of the blond boy as he wipes the blood off his face through the glass, there are still people who will come and stop to watch.
For Shiranui Genmamon and Bingzu Leitong, the word "sold out" was like a bolt from the blue.
"Didn't you say you brought a hundred books?"
They looked at Shiranui Genmamon with doubt, suspecting that the other party had made up a lie in order to make him give up the book.
"Really! There are hundreds of them! They're so heavy!"
Shiranui Genmamon felt wronged.
Because it was an "urgent item" that required extra payment, he had to cross mountains and rivers to carry it back!
How come it's gone! ?
He also wanted to take the opportunity to buy another copy to keep at home.
Isn't it said that you should keep two copies of something you like?
The one you use frequently will definitely wear out or break quickly, so you should keep a complete one.
However, the word "sold out" made everything come to naught.
Now, let alone collecting it, I may not even be able to keep the book I have.
Not surprisingly, the look in their eyes also changed.
Just as the two of them were engaged in a fierce eye battle, a store employee came out holding a megaphone:
"I'm very sorry, but all copies of Young Heroes in our store have been sold out. We will hire ninjas to deliver new books as soon as possible. Please be patient. As compensation, everyone who queues today can get a number plate. When new books arrive, you can use your number plate to get them first. You will definitely not be left without books to read!"
Hearing this, those who were about to leave quickly stood back in the team.
Shiranui Genmamon and Bingzu Leitong also looked at each other and quickly stood in position to receive their number plates.
At the same time, they both made up their minds.
I'll go see Lord Minato when I get back, and if there's still a mission to deliver books, I'll take it immediately - maybe I can even buy a poster from the publishing house.
That’s a publishing house! There must be one!
The young boy Chikuwa and his story conquered every reader unexpectedly.
It quickly became popular among people of all ages and became a well-deserved "top streamer".
The popularity of the story far exceeded the publisher's expectations - he knew the story would be popular, but he didn't expect it to be this popular.
The publishing house's printing presses were forced to print more copies.
Even so, the supply was still not enough.
Requests for additional orders continued to come in from bookstores in various countries.
"Young Heroes" does not portray any specific country or power, so no matter where one comes from, everyone can put themselves into the story.
Make yourself one of these young boys and girls running for salvation.
And it's different from other books that target a specific group of people.
Regardless of age, readers can find something they care about in Young Heroes.
Some people like Zhuwa's tenacity and his belief in never giving up no matter what he encounters.
I also care about the past of those experienced ninjas.
From the first ninja Chikuwa met, to the man who lost everything and turned from a 'hero' to a 'villain', Lai.
Older ninjas in particular felt this more deeply.
Maybe not as extreme as Lai's, but there will be more or less such tragedies in the wars they have experienced.
But in the past they were busy fighting, busy with life and death, and did not have much time to lament.
Now when they read the story of 'Lai' again, those once forgotten memories came roaring in like a tsunami that rolled over the mountains and seas, instantly pulling them into the ocean of memories.
“It’s a good book.”
After reading the last page, the elder closed the book and raised his hand to touch the head of the younger person who had just bought the book.
"Right! Nakamikado Shuuji is really handsome!"
Unlike Chikuwa who had to start from scratch, Nakamikado Osamu, who was very strong and handsome from the beginning, fulfilled the dreams of most children.
He comes and goes without a trace, and the real handsome guy never looks back to see the explosion.
The elders laughed when they heard this.
"That's not... No, it's nothing."
He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that it was not a "good story" worth mentioning.
It would be better if children could grow up with such innocence.
——He sincerely hopes that children will never see
Understand the pain and despair that belong to adults.
After the elders left, the children were still smiling happily because they successfully sold Amway products.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Where's my book?"
The hand that was holding the book was now empty .
He looked around but didn't see the book he had managed to snatch.
Where is my big copy of Young Heroes?
"ah!"
He suddenly remembered that he had just shown it to someone, and then he didn't seem to have returned it to him!
The child jumped up and shouted "Give me back "Young Hero"" and chased after him.
elder:……
Damn, I thought it was perfect.
How come it was discovered so quickly!
Similar things happened frequently, although they once promoted parent-child relationships.
But at the same time, the battle to defend "Young Heroes" was staged in each family.
——Until everyone has a copy, it will probably be difficult to improve the situation.
The fact that the copy of Young Heroes was hard to come by gave rise to another phenomenon.
That is, reading groups will be formed with the children who buy books as the core.
The core of the activity is for everyone to find a quiet place to read together.
But after all, everyone sees the progress and speed differently, so there will still be some conflicts.
Later, Yu Yue simply hired someone to tell stories in the milk tea shop every day.
There will be one session in the morning and one in the afternoon, with two chapters covered each time. The same chapter will be covered every afternoon and the next morning. This will minimize the possibility of people missing out on the plot and also allow those who like this section to review it.
This action immediately made the milk tea shop the most popular place in Konoha.
The milk tea shop in front of the Hokage Building was so crowded that people couldn't get in. They didn't care whether they were afraid or not, and they all flocked to the branch on Uchiha Street.
The surging crowd left Uchiha Nao and Uchiha Ken, who had never received so many people before, dumbfounded. They only managed to cope with the situation by temporarily transferring a few experienced children from the orphanage.
People who come here to listen to books will at least buy a cup of milk tea. Making, delivering and clearing the table will make people busy all of a sudden.
But even if there is enough milk tea, there are still not enough seats.
Many people simply moved chairs and sat outside, or just stood nearby and listened.
On the first day of the event,
The Uchiha who were completely unaware of the situation were shocked when they returned from their shift - they thought Uchiha Street had been occupied.
When I walked in, I noticed that everyone was listening to a book in the milk tea shop. The book they were listening to was the recently popular "Young Heroes" (Part 1).
...Then the Uchiha just stood there and listened. They also liked this story very much.
In addition to feeling that Chikuwa is very miserable and inspirational, the cool characters in it are also very popular among the Uchiha.
For example, there is Mayumi Kugisaki, a girl who can skillfully use sixty-six kinds of ninja tools.
Although he possesses unique skills, he never forgets to practice and hone himself.
When traveling outside, they never forget to be chivalrous and righteous - these Uchiha people are such people!
Especially since Mayumi Kugisaki has black hair.
Isn't this more like Uchiha!
Most of the Uchiha are Mayumi Kugisaki fans - this was something no one expected at the beginning.
Not only the usually arrogant Uchiha fell, but also the other ninjas.
To a greater or lesser extent, young people from every family also fell in love with this story.
And because of this common topic, people communicate more.
People discussing the story of Young Heroes can be seen everywhere.
Some people express their love.
Some people study the interpersonal relationships there.
Others ponder those cool skills – how great it would be if they could also have such cool moves.
Especially when some people gathered together, they found that some of the ninjutsu or ninja tool techniques were not impossible to do in reality.
This enthusiasm became even more uncontrollable.
The training grounds are full of children who are training (or role-playing) while shouting the names of techniques from "Young Heroes".
With the popularity of "Young Heroes", Yu Yue Store has also entered into further preparations.
For example, the 'Young Hero' hero egg.
For example, the 'young hero' action figure.
Another example is making customized versions with special colors and shapes based on the ninja tools that appear in the story (which can be used in both actual combat and non-actual combat versions).
There are also various other peripherals and collaborations.
These can all be advanced.
Secondly, there is the comic adaptation plan of "Young Heroes" (Part 1) and the publication of "Young Heroes" (Part 2).
Although Ugetsu's plan is to release the comic adaptation first, and then release it after attracting everyone who can be attracted (below), the story
It still needs to be completed in advance.
After all, by then there will be more people who will be intrigued by the plot, and they need to be better prepared.
If people accept it well and the popularity remains stable.
Yu Yue even considered launching a second or even a third season of "Young Heroes".
Even a four-part series of "Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain" would be fine.
One film a year is enough for four years.
After four years, are you still worried that you won’t be able to cultivate new reading habits among people?
Even when the time is right, she can directly change it into an animation.
The feeling of a 'character in motion' is completely different from one that only exists on paper or in words.
So Yu Yue gathered the store staff and mobilized them.
"Although we have achieved certain results, this alone is not enough." Yu Yue stopped and looked at the employees around her. "The best-selling of the novel can only be said to be the first step, but we can't be complacent because of this. The real success is still to come."
"So the relevant personnel still need to tighten their strings and prepare for the next work."
Jiraiya, who was listening in, stood up straight at once.
What the hell?
Isn’t it the end of the novel once it’s published?
At this moment, he felt that he had no choice but to stand up.
Yes, even if he made mistakes.
We've gotten into big trouble, but we can't keep going like this, right?
“But I just finished writing…”
A ninja can't just be used by one person like this, can't he?
"Yeah, you've finished the first part, shouldn't you finish the second part now? I'm not asking you to create a new story, it's not that difficult."
Jiraiya slowly typed a question mark.
Did people say so?
No, even if I wrote a draft before, it doesn't mean that 'finishing it' is as easy as eating ramen, right?
I finally finished writing a novel, shouldn't I be given a vacation?
Jiraiya felt completely unwell.
He didn't expect that after running through a sea of ​​blood and corpses for half his life and escaping death several times without ever begging for mercy, he was going to shout for help here?
Ugetsu just gave a kind smile in response.
"You are Jiraiya of the Sannin, the man who makes the impossible possible."
Jiraiya: Why the hell would I brag about this!
For a moment, he really wanted to go back in time and kill the boastful self he was.
Let you speak without restraint.
Let you brag.
Now it’s your retribution, right?
Yu Yue continued to persuade:
"Look, now you are famous all over the world."
"Where do we go, everyone has to call you 'Jiraiya' teacher?"
"It's just the last bit of hard work. If you finish it early, you can rest early, right?"
Listening to Ugetsu's advice, Jiraiya gradually calmed down.
He thought about it and found that this was indeed the case.
Since it's impossible to run away anyway, it's better to finish it early and get rid of it sooner.
"I see."
"Well, next are these 500 books. Remember to sign them."
Jiraiya: "Wait?"
What the hell is five hundred books?
"I originally wanted to order 1,000 copies, but from the perspective of value preservation, scarcity makes things more valuable, so I only need to sign 500 copies."
Listen, does this make sense?
Five hundred copies or just one?
"Can't ninjas split into multiple avatars? If you split into dozens of avatars at once, wouldn't it only take a dozen or twenty signatures for each person to be done?"
Jiraiya looked at the people around him for a moment.
I wonder who let Ugetsu know that ninjas can work by splitting themselves into two.
Is this human language?
Shadow clones can work at the same time, but doesn’t that mean the work is divided up?
When the time is released, all the information and fatigue will return to me at once. In addition to reducing the time gate, nothing else has changed?
However, his gaze received no response.
The several ninjas present all looked accustomed to it.
Minato's disciple even gave a look that said 'Just stop struggling, the result will be the same anyway'.
"Don't worry, I won't forget your hard work fee."
——Is this a matter of money?
Jiraiya's mouth twitched a few times, and then he asked:
"……How many?"
Anyway, the result cannot be changed, so we should still fight hard for the benefits we deserve.
The ninja's family doesn't have any extra food.
Especially for someone like him who runs around everywhere, he not only has to spend money to buy information , but also save a fallen girl today and comfort a distressed young woman tomorrow. This money is really hard to stop.
——The famous 'Three Ninjas of Konoha' are actually such realistic men?
The image of the 'Three Ninjas' in people's minds has changed again.
Of course, as always, there are people who are genuinely unhappy with Ugetsu's success.
For example, everyone’s old acquaintance Danzo Shimura.
Listening to the people in the village discussing "Young Heroes" instead of the Fourth Hokage, Danzo Shimura's face was as gloomy as if water could drip.
He sent a letter.
Shin had known that this day would come, but when the moment really came, he still stood in front of Lord Danzo and chose to tell the truth.
He is a root man after all.
No matter how grateful he was to Miss Yu Yue or how guilty he felt, he still had to complete his mission.
"Tell me about the latest information."
"Is there anyone or anything she cares about?"
Xin swallowed and gave the answer.
But this answer made Shimura Danzo's expression twisted for a moment.
“I like positive people.”
“I like talents.”
"I like the jutsu that can be used."
What's the point of caring about this?
It's a demand at most.
Danzo Shimura himself also needs these.
Otherwise, he would not have asked each family to send people to join the Root again and again.
"…What else?"
Xin thought about it.
"Ms. Ugetsu is currently working with Master Jiraiya on the Young Hero project."
"Young hero..."
Just by mentioning this name, Shimura Danzo's expression twisted.
When he thought that this hot and fiery thing was made by Ugetsu and Jiraiya, he felt uncomfortable all over as if he had swallowed a bug.
Yu Yue was someone who had always made him unhappy.
Jiraiya is the beloved disciple of the Third Generation and the master of Minato Namikaze.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that the people who are against you have joined forces together.
"Besides that?"
"besides……"
Xin tried hard to recall.
If there is anything different recently, it’s the claw machine and “Young Heroes”.
But the claw machines are placed around the store and everyone can see them, so they should not be within the scope of the report.
.
Only "Young Heroes" has the latest information.
Miss Yu Yue did say a lot, but almost none of it was recent.
ah!
He thought of it.
"Ms. Ugetsu said she was going to prepare a batch of 500 signed copies of Young Heroes, saying that these would be the next killer weapon."
"Signed edition...?"
If Shimura Danzo does not pay attention to books and does not love them, he naturally will not understand their true value and significance.
He only noticed that the letter said that these five hundred signed copies were very important to Ugetsu.
On the other hand, if these can be eliminated, it will effectively disrupt her plans.
That's enough.
He has a new idea.
"I understand. You can go back now."
Danzo Shimura waved his hand at the letter.
"Don't let them find out."
"……yes."
The gray-haired boy walked backwards out the door.
I don't know when my lips were bitten and bleeding.
After all, he still betrayed Miss Ugetsu.
And I don’t know how many times I will have to experience this in the future.
…I can only repay it with work.
The boy was in a state of confusion.
I can only believe in this idea like I'm grasping at straws.
As long as he works hard enough, he can make up for Miss Yu Yue's loss.
It must be like this.
Meanwhile, Daisuke, who had just returned to his residence, suddenly sensed some movement from behind the door.
"who!?"
He stared at the door of the room vigilantly, but only noticed that the water in the cup on the table suddenly overflowed.
Then a few words formed on the table.
"What's the news?"
Daisuke was startled at first, but quickly calmed down.
——These are companions from the Hidden Mist Village contacting me.
He thought for a moment and told all the recent news.
Including Yu Yue’s return, the new claw machine in Yu Yue’s store… and how popular the claw machine he is currently in charge of is.
It’s so popular that he has to run several times a day!
In addition to replenishing the stock, you also have to take out the coins that people put in.
Otherwise the coins at the back won’t fit in !
Including the warehouse work he is also responsible for
Sometimes I am so busy that I don’t even have time to drink water.
He has to be reminded by others that it is time to eat.
Although the popular thing is the claw machine, it is Daisuke who is responsible for it, so he is also proud of it.
Uchiha Obito, who was far away, asked someone to contact Daisuke: "..."
He doesn't want to know at all how popular and profitable Yuyue and Yuyue Store are, okay?
Who would want someone they hate to live a good life?
What about the others?
What he wants is more important and more crucial news!
"Young Heroes is also very popular. It's hard to find a copy now. Every time a bookstore restocks, they are quickly sold out. Even Yuyue Store doesn't have any extra copies."
The topic that cannot be avoided during this period is "Young Heroes".
Daisuke naturally reported the matter.
The product is so popular that if the Water Kingdom also needs it, they will have to rush to purchase it.
The merchants of the Land of Water and the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village must be more proactive...
If he said that, Mizukage-sama should understand.
Uchiha Obito didn't understand a thing.
But thinking that it would be unlikely for the next spy to be sent in within a short period of time, he finally gave up the idea of ​​just killing him.
As he was talking, Daisuke suddenly thought of an important thing and hurriedly continued: Today, Miss Ugetsu said at the mobilization meeting that she had prepared 500 signed copies of "Young Heroes", saying that this was the key to this project in the future. "
key?
The key is good.
Uchiha Obito over there finally smiled.
This is what he wants.
If it's not the key, who would care?
Daisuke continued.
"Five hundred copies will be delivered to the designated location in the near future..."
The specific date was not mentioned. It will probably depend on when Lord Jiraiya finishes signing.
The water characters on the table immediately changed:
"Keep an eye on this matter!"
"We must know exactly when to set off and which direction to go!"
Daisuke stood up straight, "Got it!"
"I will definitely not let you down, Mizukage-sama!"
Uchiha Obito nodded with satisfaction.
"What about the others?"
Daisuke thought for a moment: "...Nowadays, even if there is a premium on a copy of Young Hero, will anyone buy it?"
He reminded again carefully.
I want Lord Mizukage to understand the value of this and not let the Water Country fall behind.
Uchiha Obito: ...
If he wasn't afraid of being exposed, he would really have the urge to tear the person to pieces.
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, he simply had someone cut off the connection.
Out of sight, out of mind.
This will save you from being angry to death at a young age.
But no matter what, we finally got some key information.
You want to get a signed book, right?
He just won't let you get the book out.
We'll see how you continue to push forward then.
Just wait, and then you’ll know how powerful it is.
After being persuaded by Ugetsu, Jiraiya diligently began to write the fine version of Young Heroes (Part 2), and signed five hundred copies.
When he first looked at the mountain of Young Heroes (Part 1), he felt that he could never do it.
But as he created two shadow clones to work together, and watched the mountain that he thought was impossible to flatten gradually lower, he miraculously regained confidence - a mere 500 books didn't seem that difficult.
It seems that he will finish it in two or three days.
Jiraiya was full of confidence.
The only thing he didn't expect was that his shadow clone would accidentally lose control and run to the women's bathroom, where he was caught by a passing Uchiha.
Looking at the female Uchiha who brought people back, Jiraiya almost lowered his head to the ground.
Jiraiya felt aggrieved - he just thought about it in his mind, but he didn't feel moved.
Who knew that the shadow clone would act on its own?
In order to prevent such incidents from happening again and forcing himself to take the blame for his shadow clone, the aggrieved Jiraiya had to cancel his shadow clone and work honestly on his own.
Sign in the morning and write carefully in the afternoon.
Finally, under the surveillance of Uchiha Shisui, he neatly signed the last of the five hundred books.
When he finished writing the 500th name, he suddenly felt as if the whole world had become different.
The sky is so blue, and the roofs that we are so familiar with are so artistic.
Oh my god!
The world is so beautiful.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The handsome curly-haired Uchiha drew a √ behind the progress chart to indicate completion.
Then he said kindly:
"These five hundred
I will send you to the Ugetsu store for placement, you can take a rest now."
After all, fine writing cannot be completed in just a few days.
The most important 500 signatures have been dealt with, so it’s okay to let people take a break.
Just like Ms. Yu Yue said, we need to "combine work and rest".
Until it was confirmed that Uchiha Shisui had really left.
Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and lay down.
Then, an inexplicable feeling of expansion surged from my heart to my entire body.
This old man is so awesome!
Five hundred copies! I actually signed them all in just a few days!
I even wrote another book of tens of thousands of words called "Young Hero" (Part 2).
This is truly another breakthrough for him.
In the past, he felt that writing tens of thousands of words was painful enough. Now, not only can he write tens of thousands of words, he has also signed 500 copies of Young Heroes (Part 1).
Double the breakthrough, double the pleasure.
Accepting the fact that he had accomplished so much work in such a short time, Jiraiya decided to take a break as Uchiha Shisui had said.
He felt relaxed.
Very satisfied...he ran to find his students.
He was busy writing a book, and his students were also busy preparing for the position of the Fourth Hokage.
Although they are both in Konoha Village, the master and disciple have not seen each other for a long time.
This is the first time.
So he planned to go visit his students and have a meal at the same time.
As for the things I didn’t finish writing today…
Don't worry about it, it won't run away if you leave it here.
He has completed the signing of 500 books today. It is really hard work.
Jiraiya ran to the student's home happily.
I had a satisfying meal.
While eating, Minato Namikaze also mentioned Jiraiya's "Young Heroes".
"It's really hard to get a copy of the teacher's book."
The blond young man brought the last dish.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Jiraiya hasn't been out for a long time.
He knew about the book's popularity, but he learned about it mostly from Ugetsu and other people at the store.
To be honest, it doesn't feel very realistic.
Especially when I thought about the fact that I had just signed 500 books and had to finish the manuscript of "Young Heroes" (Part 2) next, I lost interest even more.
After all, the more popular it is, the harder it will be for him to regain his freedom.
"It's really exaggerated. I like this story very much."
He said with a smile.
"Yes, I like it too."
Uzumaki Kushina also responded with a smile.
"I like Mayumi, her sense of justice, and her dedication to hone her actions in order to protect others."
Most of the stories in the ninja world are romantic stories.
There are novels about ninjas, but they are not mainstream, and the protagonists are mostly male.
This is the first time that a lively, brave and outstanding woman is one of the protagonists.
So Uzumaki Kushina really liked this story.
She feels that 'Mayumi Kugisaki' is her ideal.
"……ha."
Jiraiya scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
Although he was the one who wrote Mayumi Kugisaki's story.
However, the character and gender were set according to the information given by Miss Ugetsu.
So if I really have to say something, I have to thank Miss Yu Yue.
He felt unworthy of it.
"So I decided that if the child is a girl, I'll call her 'Mayumi'."
she declared loudly.
"What?"
Jiraiya's head snapped up.
The red-haired pregnant woman looked determined.
"If it's a girl, let's name her Mayumi. I hope she can be a healthy, optimistic, upright and brave person like Mayumi Kugisaki."
In fact, Uzumaki Kushina never expected her child to be the strongest person in the world.
She only hopes that her child can grow up healthy and optimistic like Mayumi.
"If it's a boy, I hope his name is Naruto."
Namikaze Minato also joined the conversation.
"Although Chikuwa is also good, I still prefer 'Naruto' in the teacher's first book."
Jiraiya was completely confused.
"No... that's just a character in a novel, right?"
He explained hurriedly.
"It's just a made-up story... and the names are all just random ones I made up!"
When he wrote it, he never thought that his students would name their children after the characters in his book.
Forget about Mayumi.
He tried hard to think of a name for the girl.
Down.
"But Naruto, I just wrote this while eating ramen, right?"
——By the way, the idea for Chikuwa came to me while I was eating oden.
"That doesn't matter."
The blond young man smiled brightly and freely.
"Optimism, courage, and health... these are our greatest blessings for our children."
And the name is just the 'carrier' that carries these blessings.
"When he grows up and can read, I hope he can read the story of another 'Naruto', another 'Mayumi'."
...Then, understand their world and their beliefs.
I just wanted to come here to relax.
Unexpectedly, the student couple gave him such a big "shock" - the surprise was so big that it turned into a "shock".
but.
It is so heartwarming to have one's ideas acknowledged.
The white-haired man scratched his hair and smiled.
"Okay, go and finish writing (the next part) when you get back."
He walked back home with brisk steps.
...Oh, yes, I have to remind myself.
Next time when you name a dish, don’t just use whatever ingredients you see.
Just try to reach the level of 'Nakamikado Osamu' for now.
Yeah, no problem.
Jiraiya was very confident and believed that with his naming skills, he would be able to come up with many resounding names that would make children in future generations grateful to him.
——However, before he could give the characters in "Young Heroes" (Part 2) resounding names.
An outrageous news came out.
Those 500 autographed books of his were stolen. !
