Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 400 Another Invitation

"Hinata-san, this is your remaining payment and bonus. Please keep it safe."

Director Wada placed the check on the table, pushed it over, and continued with a smile, "It's another perfect ending. This time, the results are even better than the first time. Recently, TV stations and reporters have been calling my phone non-stop, all trying to get an interview with Hinata-san."

"Hey, is Hinata really that popular right now?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki asked in surprise; he was resting at home today when Director Wada came to visit, and he helped entertain the guest.

"Definitely. Hinata-san's fan mail is also a problem for us now, because there are just too many letters sent to Hinata-san, filling four large boxes in total, which we didn't bring this time."

Director Wada chuckled, but just as he was about to continue speaking, Boruto Uzumaki suddenly came up to Hinata Hyuga and curiously craned his neck to ask, "Mom, how much was your reward this time? Fifty million ryo!?"

"What? Boruto, what did you say? Fifty million taels?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki leaned closer to Hinata. Seeing the check in her hand, he counted the zeros twice to confirm it was fifty million ryo, then asked incredulously...

"Wada-san, why are there so many?"

"Of the 27 million taels, it was the actors' salaries, and the remaining 22 million taels was bonuses. As for why it was so much, it's because the TV series made money, so the investors gave everyone in the crew a sum of money."

Director Wada couldn't hide his joy and said with a smile, "Even I... hahaha, I can't say anything else, but I can tell you, Hokage, Hinata didn't go to the sauna the most."

Boruto's eyes even turned into the shape of money symbols, his mind filled with thoughts of ninja gacha pulls. He immediately grabbed Hinata Hyuga's arm and pleaded, "Give me some pocket money! My grades have improved a lot lately."

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki angrily retorted, "Hey, Boruto, didn't I just give you pocket money a few days ago? Why do you need more?"

"You two, be quiet."

Hinata Hyuga's calm words sent a chill down the spines of the Uzumaki father and son. After they quieted down, Hinata smiled sheepishly at Kazunari Wada and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Director Wada."

Director Wada said, "It's nothing. Besides telling Hinata-san this good news, there's another matter to discuss regarding the production of the next sequel. I know that Hinata-san is very tired, so filming will start next year."

"Next film... Sorry, Director Wada, I... don't really want to film it anymore."

After hesitating for a moment upon hearing this, Hinata Hyuga still refused.

She's a little scared now, but not of anything else; she's afraid that she'll gradually become unfaithful to her family.

"Why, why?"

Director Wada looked incredulous and quickly asked, "Hinata-san, our current success is arguably the best in the ninja world... no, we can't do without you! If you suddenly stop acting, this drama will lose half its value!"

"But."

"Moreover, Hinata-san has a lot of fans now. Even within Konoha, Hinata-san should have noticed it. If Hinata-san suddenly stops acting, those fans might think that it was me and the production team who stopped you from acting. If a few of them are crazy, they will vent their anger on us."

After Director Wada finished speaking, he swallowed hard, showing that he was very scared.

"Um...should I explain this to the fans?"

Hinata Hyuga understood what Director Wada said. She had also experienced the troubles of being a celebrity in Konoha. Now, when she went out to crowded places, she would use her transformation jutsu instead of her real appearance, otherwise she would be harassed by fans who would ask for autographs and photos.

Because she looks somewhat like her, Hinata Hanabi was often asked for autographs when they were in the village.

"Then Hinata-san will have to explain on television, but fans will probably come looking for you then. Most importantly, there's only one part left in the trilogy. If Hinata-san suddenly stops acting, I don't know where to find someone to replace you in a short time."

After Director Wada finished speaking, he half-kneeled and kowtowed on the table, pleading, "Please, Hinata-san, this is the last one. If you really have to quit, at least finish filming the last one. Even if it's a ninja commission, it should be done properly."

Hinata Hyuga looked troubled and said, "But..."

Naruto Uzumaki said, "Wada-san, let Hinata think about this. Don't pressure her."

"Alright, but I still hope Hinata-san will think it over carefully, after all, this is the last one."

Director Wada sighed, looking extremely unwilling. He finally pleaded with Hinata Hyuga before getting up to say goodbye and leaving.

After everyone left, Naruto Uzumaki said, "Hinata, it's up to you. It's okay if you don't want to act. If you're tired, take a good rest."

"Mom, isn't the filming next year? That's still a long time. If it's just tiring, it should be fine, right?"

Boruto Uzumaki didn't want Hinata Hyuga to give up. Besides wanting a big star mom, he also found it a happy time when no one was around to bother Hinata while she was filming.

"Hey, Boruto."

"I'll think about it some more."

Hinata Hyuga interrupted the argument between Naruto and Boruto, her expression slightly off, and got up to walk into the house; she was also very conflicted, worried about the consequences of quitting the performance, but also very afraid of continuing to perform.

Upon seeing Uchiha Yoichi, her body began to feel a faint heat, as if she were no longer herself.

If this continued, she feared she would lose her virginity again. If she hadn't come to her senses, things would have been terrible!
