Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 36 Simple Ambition

Okamura Tensai was furious about Naruto making a movie.

I'm not angry at Naruto, I'm angry at myself.

Just a few years after the end of World War III, Okamura Tensai, a rare director of this era, never lacked the courage to dedicate himself to art.

But courage is not the same as courting death. He might have the guts to join the fray in a regular ninja battle, but he had seen Naruto's battles. Those powerful ninjas who could usually scale walls and leap across rooftops were as fragile as babies in the face of such a natural disaster.

The player starts with a Tailed Beast Ball to cleanse the ground, and the fox spirit runs wild all over the field.

What dragon claws, lotus blossoms, scorpion paws, kangaroo leaps, double peaks piercing ears, head smashing walnuts, mice stealing cheese, antelopes leaping, aerial flying kicks, supernova burning…

Then comes a screen full of Rasengans and Rasenshuriken, focusing on overwhelming firepower.

During the day, when editing videos, Okamura Tensai was completely numb.

Especially seeing so many spectacular scenes being filmed by Naruto as a defense, he felt heartbroken and couldn't breathe!

Fortunately, the kid still had at least some filming skills, and the production team was also very professional, so they managed to cut out most of the usable footage.

Upon seeing Naruto, Okamura Tensai immediately adopted a heartbroken expression: "What a pity, I couldn't capture such a spectacular scene up close..."

"director…"

Kazeka Koyuki quickly stood up: "Um, about Naruto's identity... I'm really sorry, Naruto didn't mean to hide it."

"Hey! What are you saying?"

Okamura Tensai waved his hand dismissively: "You are a born actor, and he is a born singer. As long as you can shine on stage, I don't care about your personal issues."

As he spoke, he pointed his pipe at Naruto, a glint of fervor flashing in his eyes, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"And Yukie, you saw it too, right? This kind of world-destroying power! It's simply..."

"What is it?"

Fuuka Koyuki frowned slightly. Okamura Tensai's excited and fanatical appearance reminded her of some villains in movies.

These villainous faces twisted and merged in my mind, eventually settling into the hateful face of Feng Hua Nu Tao.

"He's practically made for the camera! Such spectacular ninjutsu, a handsome face, and a captivating singing voice—I'm absolutely confident I can train Naruto to become a top-tier dual-threat star who'll be a sensation throughout the ninja world!"

"Attention! It's top-notch! It will be a huge help to your acting career, Yuki!"

This is really...

What a simple yet ambitious goal!

Feng Hua Xiaoxue fell silent; she suddenly felt incredibly ugly.

Naruto chuckled. Sure enough, artists' thought processes are all a little abnormal.

Or maybe he's actually the most normal one?

"Is...is there a problem?"

Seeing their reactions, Okamura Tensai was somewhat disappointed; he had thought the two children would be very happy.

"No, no, no! Absolutely not!"

"Oh my, Mr. Okamura is truly visionary, quite like a god of cinema..."

"That's right, I was just too shocked. Actually, I'm quite happy!"

Naruto and Kazahana Koyuki quickly put on smiles and worked together to soothe the director's fragile heart.

Okamura Tensai snorted, seeing through their insincerity, and decided not to make a fool of himself.

"Never mind that, let's not talk about that now. About last night..."

Okamura Tensai looked at Naruto with a hesitant expression, and finally sighed heavily: "Sigh, I won't ask any more questions. Just give me the general plot as soon as possible."

"The company will cover the filming costs upfront, but you might need to reshoot some scenes. Don't you dare run away with the money, kid."

With that, he waved his hand, turned around, and left the tent.

"The director is such a nice person..."

Naruto watched Okamura Tensai's retreating figure and sighed.

After getting up and tidying up quickly, Naruto wrote down the plot he had already conceived and handed it to Okamura Tensai.

Okamura Tensai stared at the script, a pipe dangling from his lips, his brow furrowed: "Hmm... so the one who actually wiped out the Grass Ninja was that masked villain, right?"

Naruto nodded, showing no intention of hiding anything: "That's exactly how it's portrayed in the movie."

"In the movie..."

Okamura Tensai rubbed his temples, but ultimately said nothing.

Pure people are often inflexible, while smooth-talking people often find it difficult to stay true to themselves, but Okamura Tensai clearly balances the two very well.

Based on Naruto's description, he was able to guess the truth of the matter to a large extent.

Although wiping out a village is cruel, the act of eliminating all traces of a village cannot be said to be wrong. He may not agree with it, but he can understand it.

This guy is cunning; he shifted the blame onto someone else, thus avoiding a bad reputation while also making an example of someone.

This behavior can be described as a perfunctory show of respect, which is a common diplomatic practice between major powers. The catastrophic battle scene in the movie is more like a military exercise to flex military muscle.

The difference is that Naruto is an independent individual, and can only express himself through movies.

The gist is, I don't want to cause trouble, but you shouldn't mess with me either. Think twice before you do anything...

Okamura Tensai understood Naruto's meaning, so he put down all his work and started working overtime to catch up.

How long does it take for a film crew to produce a decent movie at full capacity?

Okamura Tensai provided the answer: One week!

Half a day to polish the script, three days to film the dialogue scenes, and four days to film the action scenes.

Post-production was done concurrently with filming, with Naruto handling the special effects. In the end, it took Okamura Tensai a week to film this movie titled "Naruto Shippuden: The Demise of the Grass Ninja".

Because of time constraints, most of the dialogue scenes were filmed with Kazahana Koyuki using her transformation jutsu to look like Naruto.

The movie isn't very long, only a little over an hour, but it has many elements.

Furthermore, the Grass Ninja clan has just been defeated, and the hype hasn't died down yet, so there's no need to worry about its box office success.

The only thing that puzzled Naruto was that a week had passed, and neither the major ninja villages nor the Akatsuki organization had come knocking on his door!

On the other hand, people like Onoki and Raikage A were also full of doubts—where the hell did the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki go?

"Boss! We've found the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Just as everyone was becoming increasingly frantic because they couldn't find Naruto, a black and white figure from Amegakure hurriedly poked its head out from the ground.

In the darkness, Pain, the Deva Path with his pale purple Rinnegan, slightly turned his head.

"Where?"

"The Land of Grass".

"Still in the Land of Grass..."

"They left soon. That kid was with a film crew; it seems they were shooting a movie."

Bai Jue grinned: "His perception is very strong. He almost detected me several times. I couldn't get too close. It's a pity. I still don't know what kind of movie it is. I can go see it when it's released..."

"..."

Payne paused for a moment, then slowly turned to the side, a hint of surprise flashing across his usually expressionless face.

"Making a movie?"

Update today! Sorry, only one post today. I only recovered a bit this afternoon, which took up a lot of time. Sorry everyone!
