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

Chapter 78: Author's Note on the Launch of Sanjiang+

First of all, thank you all for your support. This book has also been a great success.

I made an appointment with the editor to put it on the shelves at noon on Wednesday, that's right, today!

If you have money, please support us financially; if you don't, please vote!

Thank you everyone! Thank you so much!

There are also some questions that readers have been discussing intensely, so I'll answer them one by one here. There might be a slight spoiler, but it won't affect your viewing experience.

1: Regarding the argument that the protagonist hates the fourth generation couple, and the argument that the protagonist is cold-blooded, this issue was discussed intensely in the early stages.

First of all, the protagonist does not hate the fourth generation couple; he simply doesn't care.

Of course, he's not cold-blooded at all. The protagonist takes good care of the people around him and has a pretty good personality, which should be reflected in this aspect.

Regarding the reason why the protagonist doesn't care about the fourth generation couple, I also left a plot hole in advance, which is about the darkness in the protagonist's heart. I mentioned this point twice.

This relates to the protagonist's background before his time travel, which is that he was an orphan. This is a minor spoiler, but it's also the reason why the protagonist is carefree, casual, and irresponsible.

Then this group of people popped up, saying all sorts of things, saying the protagonist was heartless, or that you have to owe people favors just because you transmigrated, and so on.

Let's not talk about the protagonist's orphan background yet, since that plot hole hasn't been filled in.

Even if he didn't time travel, just considering Naruto Uzumaki's status as an orphan protagonist, do you think he has any reason to hate the Fourth Hokage and his wife?

Everyone talks about the orphanage meme on Qidian, but I really want to ask you all, do you really understand orphans?

Excluding children of martyrs, and children who died accidentally or from illness after they were old enough to remember things, this refers only to abandoned infants.

I can tell you all with absolute certainty that I understand, I understand very well.

My wife was abandoned by her biological parents at birth, but fortunately, her current parents raised her as their own daughter.

Honestly, when I asked her what would happen if her biological parents came looking for her, her murderous tone didn't seem fake.

My parents divorced when I was seven. My mother pushed me away and said she didn't want children.

I'm not an orphan, but this incident had a significant impact on me. For many years, I harbored a strong distrust of men and lacked emotional security. I didn't answer a single phone call from my mother for several years.

And because my father was often away on business trips, I lived with relatives for a period of time.

Although they treated me very well, the feeling of being dependent on others was unpleasant. I couldn't bring myself to ask for pocket money, buy new clothes, or even a school uniform. I felt inferior to everyone else in every way.

As a result, I am very sensitive to other people's expressions, so sensitive that I can tell at a glance what other people's emotions and general thoughts are about me.

For people with distinctive appearances, I can even discern their general personality and certain qualities from their faces with an accuracy rate of up to 80%. However, this is only effective during the first few meetings. Afterward, my judgment is affected by further interactions with the other person. This ability has been consistently effective to this day, which is nothing short of mystical.

That's why I hate dealing with interpersonal relationships, because although I can tell, my emotional intelligence isn't actually that high.

In addition, I have a terrible temper, and I can easily break people's defenses with just one sentence. Over time, I've become indifferent to interpersonal relationships and other people's opinions.

After I turned nine, I was basically raised in a free-range manner, so I have a strong aversion to the word "family" and my judgment of relationships is not based on blood ties, but on the emotional relationship between each other.

Do these states seem familiar?

That's right, it's basically about the protagonist's attitude towards interpersonal relationships.

My wife and I are considered relatively lucky, but we share similar commonalities, while the situation of a true orphan is far more complex.

I've seen many such examples around me, and I've also met many orphans. Even if they manage to escape their circumstances, they can never truly shake off the influence of their past.

Girls are easier to deal with, but boys, especially orphans who have struggled their way up from the bottom, harbor hatred without asking any questions.

Those who can stand tall are even more terrifying; they have goals and no weaknesses—they are all ruthless!

This applies not only to orphans, but also to many children from divorced families who grow up alone.

A scar won't bloom unless the parents are rich.

Even if one is moved by family affection for a time, there will always be a hard part in one's heart, which will be catalyzed again without restraint when a conflict arises someday.

The love that Minato and his wife had for Naruto was, of course, undeniable.

"But no matter what your reasons are, you can't let me down! Because the only thing that keeps me going is myself!"

This is what orphans think!

It's true that I'm selfish, but how can I survive if I'm not selfish?

The prince's background is even more messed up, as everyone knows. If he weren't the male lead, he would definitely turn evil, and hatred would be inevitable.

As for the protagonist, needless to say, let's leave aside his past life and background for now, since the plot holes haven't been filled yet.

But why would a grown adult eagerly acknowledge someone a few years older than themselves as their parents? Doesn't that seem strange?

You guys are great, that's true, but we really don't have that emotional foundation!

Isn't this what a normal person would think?

Why, do we have to create another huge wave of resonance?

Furthermore, while the protagonist may disagree, he has never expressed hatred, because he genuinely doesn't care, so there's really nothing to argue about on this point.

2. Regarding the issue of criticizing Jiraiya.

Imagine you've been living alone for three years, and suddenly some guy pops up—someone whose intentions you can immediately tell—and starts interfering in your life and giving you unsolicited advice.

Ha ha…

Some people said that if you dislike the original characters so much, you shouldn't write fanfiction. Others said that I have feelings about Jiraiya.

No, actually I really like the character Jiraiya.

Aside from his love of spying and his obsession with prophecy, he is otherwise fine in terms of his feelings for his apprentices and his personality. His quirky personality is also quite endearing.

But only children are so fixated on character filters, and I've mentioned concepts and stances more than once.

People have different ideas and positions, and may even fight each other in the future. Why should we build any strong bonds?

There's really not much to say about this. You can like it, but don't get too involved. Otherwise, what's the difference between this and reading a doujinshi and empathizing with the victim?

3. Regarding the protagonist's verbal sparring.

Throughout the entire Naruto series, almost all battles are battles of ideologies.

Zabuza – The meaning of a ninja's existence.

Gaara – The Meaning of Self-Existence.

Orochimaru—The Meaning of Life.

Payne – The Meaning of Peace and War.

Obito – The meaning of a simp.

The ideological conflict between Ashura and Indra went on for countless cycles, making Kaguya, the final boss, the most superficial character.

From this perspective, it's not unreasonable to say that the ending was changed for Boruto.

So you can say my writing isn't good, but this is something you really can't live without.

One comment is right: this is actually a kind of "struggle for the Way," and it is because of this that Naruto is so rich, even though it has many flaws in its setting.

There are also those who say I'm blaming my own opinions. Wake up, this is the protagonist's rant, not the author's third-person perspective.

Furthermore, I have mentioned before that the protagonist's verbal attacks are not necessarily correct, but the main point is to use a few words to deliver poison, destroying the enemy from both body and mind.

Actually, it might be because I'm not young anymore, so my views on some things are quite peaceful and moderate.

In my opinion, the protagonist's viewpoint still has many flaws, because many of the arguments are sophistry, avoiding the important issues and skipping over some positive possibilities of human nature.

What frustrates me most are some of the trolls. Even if we have different ideas, you can present the facts or offer your own theories.

But I don't know if she broke down or what, she started cursing in the comments section. She doesn't even have the most basic language skills. What kind of novels are you reading?

You need to see a doctor for a cerebral thrombosis; reading novels won't help.

4. Some problems with this book.

Based on feedback from some readers, we have summarized some of the issues.

First, the storyline involving the Hidden Grass Village wasn't well coordinated.

The development of his relationship with Kurama was not described in detail.

The relationship between Mabui and Samui was dealt with too early and wasn't well developed.

Another issue is the plot connections. Some readers have said that the recent plot is weak, but after reviewing it several times, I found that it is actually too dry.

I tried to gloss over the storyline of Feng Hua Xiao Xue's restoration of the kingdom, but the result was that the ending of the romance felt very weak, and all the previous characterization of Feng Hua Xiao Xue was wasted.

Then I thought about it and realized that this was really not right. Most of the plot of my book is definitely based on daily life and emotions, and that's where my strength lies. If I just gloss over everything, what's the point of writing anything?

Moreover, online novel plots have ups and downs. I've only just awakened the Rinnegan, and the skill settings are only a few chapters complete. I can't be rushing around like this!

Taking Sasuke as a disciple is a key point that lays the groundwork for the subsequent plot; he schemed against and defeated a total of two and a half cards.

If I keep going like this, I'll get a seizure!

If the relationship with Sasuke isn't portrayed well, the same mistakes will repeat themselves.

I know you might feel like the updates are too slow, but please don't let the comments section cause any issues. The plot still needs to be coherent.

I want to keep reading, but the readers aren't satisfied, and I'm slow at writing.

I suggest that if you want to keep them, it's best to keep them for a week to ten days at a time, and then see how they go. This is based on my experience.

It can't be too long or too short. If it's too long, it'll die out and you'll forget the plot. If it's too short, it won't be satisfying to watch.

A few tens of thousands of words a week is just right!

Finally, I'd like to ask everyone for a first subscription. I really won't be adding any extra chapters on the first day of release; it will still be two chapters as usual. This is because I'm a really slow writer and I especially like to get bogged down in the details of words and sentences.

However, I will try to increase the daily word count to 6,000 words.

For me, writing isn't difficult, achieving good results isn't difficult, but avoiding writing poorly is the hardest thing, which is why I'm most afraid of writing too fast.

Please continue to support me. Writing is hard work, and life is hard, so please read and cherish what you have!
