In the anime industry, I stand at the forefront of popularity

Iruka is fine, but this damn fox actually dared to provoke me.

"I'm not a fox demon." Naruto looked at Mizuki firmly, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I'm the man who will become Hokage!"

"Just you! You're a last-place student who can't even graduate!" Shuimu stood up with a ferocious look on his face.

——I can't deal with Hanabi and Iruka, so I can't deal with you, the last one?!

"Naruto!" Iruka was about to go up, but Hanabi suddenly appeared in front of Iruka and stopped him. Iruka was very pleased with Naruto's awareness, but Naruto rushed out like a reckless man, which made him anxious.

"Iruka-sensei, leave it to Naruto." Hanabi smiled.

Iruka was stunned. He suddenly remembered that Naruto had said that he had learned some ninjutsu: "Wait. Could it be——"

At this moment, Naruto had already completed the hand seal: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Multiple shadow clones, hundreds and hundreds of Narutos densely filled the entire forest.

It’s not the illusion that Hanabi used before, each one is real!

"Don't come over here!"

Mizuki was stunned and was beaten up by countless Narutos.

[Don’t come over here! The bad jokes are still chasing me!]

[Why can’t I post pictures in the comments? I’m starving for memes.]

[Naruto: I don't know who I am, where I am, or what I am going to do. But I know that I have to beat you down.]

[Oh my goodness, it's a boomerang]

[In fact, Hanabi's previous illusion was also a boomerang 2333]

[It's obvious that Mizuki is really in trouble. Naruto learned the forbidden technique in one night, and Hanabi commented that Mizuki couldn't even understand it 2333]

[Even worse than the last-place student, truly inferior to a maggot]

[Mizuki: You haven't finished this topic yet, have you?]

The audience was happy, and so was the fireworks.

In this wave of camera time, she earned 10,000 points in one go, second only to her first appearance.

"It seems that the first appearance also has a bonus."

Although this trick didn't work on this "set," it would definitely be useful next time. A stunning appearance would help him gain a lot of popularity.

After beating Mizuki down, Naruto also gained Iruka's recognition, received Iruka's forehead protector, and graduated successfully.

And this is the end of the first episode.

[Gaia!]

[Just arrived, and it’s gone already?]

[Why is there only live streaming?]

[Did anyone record this?]

[I can't record it. It's encrypted. Screenshots require a premium membership. Screen recording is black. Even recording directly with my phone doesn't work. It's like keeping money secret. I'll have to wait for the website video version. I heard it's a new screening format.]

[I bought an annual membership specifically to capture the beautiful pictures of fireworks, but I can’t replay them. Outrageous]

[No wonder I didn’t see the OP]

[I guess there is no OP. This chapter is super long. I think it will be impossible to fit in, just like RE0.]

If it weren’t live, I wouldn’t be able to see the barrage that makes such a great show. What a shame.

[Go check the announcement, the comments will be retained in the video version]

[Damn, I didn't leave the fire tongs Liu Ming in the beginning, what a shame!]

——So that’s how it is?

Hanabi roughly understood the situation on the other side.

This time the so-called "Road of Ninja" will be broadcast in the form of live broadcast, and the video version and complete OPED will be available after a while.

A night passed without anything major happening, and there was no need for even a confession or investigation, because the Third Hokage was watching the whole thing with a telescope. The effect was better than Hanabi watching the anime, because the anime was only broadcast at specific times, and it was not a 24-hour live broadcast. But the Third Hokage could not only watch the whole thing, but also watch it from a different angle.

After returning home, Hanabi didn't say much, and the whole matter was sealed by the Third Hokage. Apart from Naruto's graduation and Mizuki being imprisoned and investigated, there seemed to be nothing else.

Instead, the maid Hinata Xia blamed herself, saying that she shouldn't have come back so late.

"Whoosh" they entered the bathtub and Hanabi took the opportunity to relax.

[End of Episode 1]

【Comments section is open】

[First broadcast remuneration is being settled, please wait]

After everything was over, the stage also informed Hanabi that the content of the first episode had been played.

"Then comes the contents of the Sealed Book."

The contents of the Sealed Book are very diverse. There are many random ninjutsu. Hanabi is believed to have been developed by the Second Hokage and then sealed away by the First Hokage.

Hanabi saw the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but this technique is actually useless because it is not perfect. The improved version created by Orochimaru three years later is more useful, so Hanabi only used it as a reference.

Before handing it to Iruka, Hanabi also copied the dispensable Rirenna.

Hanabi's favorite was the Multiplication Detonation Talisman, a technique only the rich could afford, but...her family was quite wealthy. Art was all about explosions, Hanabi firmly believed.

The Four Symbols Seal can be used to unlock Naruto's seal, but its main use is as a seal. It can be regarded as a "technical reserve".

As for the art of spiritualism, although it is nominally a forbidden technique, basically everyone, from humans to dogs, can do it, and many families also have it.

“I don’t know what rewards there will be later.”

……

Compared to Kotoamatsukami, Naruto is actually more likely to be feared and hated because of loneliness. In simple terms, he is PUA-ed by loneliness.

It’s a pity that this place is not suitable for performing the plot of a dead white moonlight 2333.

Chapter 9 This generation of netizens are all talented

After taking a bath, Hinata Xia came in, helped Hanabi wipe her body, and then changed into pajamas.

"call"

Before going to bed, Hua Huo must drink a glass of warm milk, then do twenty minutes of stretching exercises, and sleep until dawn, never leaving fatigue and stress to the next day.

As an idol, image management is very important. Even if you are just a supporting role now, who says you can't be the main character in the future?

Hanabi is very confident about her appearance.

Her appearance is not exactly the same as Hinata Hanabi in the "original work", but if she opens her eyes and dresses like the original, it is pretty close.

However, if Hanabi changes into a short kimono, turns her eyes red, and wears twin ponytails, she can be similar to the other Hoshitetsu Hanabi.

And if she dyed her hair white, wore a black eye mask, and held a sword, it would not be impossible for her to COS Mirror Style, but her age would not be right.

Hanabi's appearance combines these advantages.

Being able to act out any role is definitely a rare talent for an idol.

"Wow, we actually gained so much popularity in just one night?"

After waking up the next day, Hanabi discovered that her popularity had increased by more than a thousand points.

The show should have ended.

“That comment section.”

When Huo Huo checked the comments section yesterday, there was nothing in it.

The two sides' time was out of sync, and Hua Huo wasn't sure what was happening on the other side. However, when she opened the comment section today, she found many discussion threads.

Hanabi herself cannot post content, but can see discussions related to Ninja Road.

This comment section seems to come from the discussion section of the world's largest video website, and this Ninja Road was played on this website.

Although Road to Ninja is currently only being broadcast live, the comment and rating sections for the anime have already been opened.

"It's surprisingly popular." After looking around, Hua Huo found that there were quite a lot of comments. "Oh, it's related to me?"

Hanabi discovered that the number one post on the hot list of the comment section was actually a post related to herself - [How rich is Hanabi-sama based on her shoes].

The title looked quite outrageous, but since it was such a funny post, Huahuo naturally clicked on it to appreciate it.

[While you are still studying Hanabi's illusions, I discovered that Hanabi has a hidden attribute, which is a wealthy woman.]

[In fact, in the ninja school, it is difficult to tell a person's wealth and family background by their attire. But there is one exception, and that is our Miss Hanabi.]

Including Hanabi's sister Hinata, everyone's clothes are pretty much the same, modern casual wear, and they all seem to be wearing the same ninja sandals. But Hanabi stands out as something different. I don't know if you've noticed, but of all the ninjas who appear in the first episode, she's the only one wearing geta. Everyone else is wearing the same ninja sandals. And among the students at the ninja school, Hanabi is the only one wearing a kimono.

"Did anyone actually notice it?"

Because it is only a live broadcast at the moment and cannot be watched repeatedly, and there is no way to make up for missed events, Huahuo thought that not many people would notice this detail, and that people would only discover it after the video version was released.

The clothes that Hanabi wears are not only to attract more attention to the clothes, but also to create a unique image.

"Personality" is an integral part of being an idol, and shaping a personality is a characteristic that idols must have.

[Let's not talk about the kimono. She's wearing a furisode, which is actually quite common in Japanese settings. Let's start with Hanabi's shoes and try to analyze her family background.]

[The zori mentioned here are not straw sandals, but rather a type of shoe worn with a kimono. Simply put, zori are just leather sandals instead of wood.]

[I don't know if you've noticed, but the Ai-komachi Hanabi is wearing is black and reflective, a very delicate kind. This kind of shiny black lacquer with a red background is called Heidayan. It used to be black lacquer, but now plant fruits are used as an alternative paint.]

[Also, there are cherry blossoms and other designs painted on it, something you don't find on regular shoes. Also, looking at the texture of the painting, it seems to be imitating the grain of wood itself. This texture suggests that the material used is 柾 wood.]

[In Chinese, "柾" is the same as "柩", but in Japanese, it refers to a type of wood that is cut in a direction pointing towards the wood's axis, resulting in a straight grain pattern. Non-straight wood is called "banme", and straight wood is called "柾目".]

[In short, this thing is made of a very expensive wood. The Japanese pronunciation of "柾" is "masa," which is the same as the Japanese kanji for "雅," "正," "贤," etc., which means uprightness. This is also a hint that the Hyuga clan is a large family.]

[In modern times, a black, bright-colored Aikomachi would start at around 5,000 yen. If it were made of tung wood, the price would be about three times that. And that's for modern production, produced on an assembly line. If it were custom-made with added painting, or handmade, the price would be even higher. In ancient times, it would have been exorbitant.]

[After the graduation exam, did you notice that Hanabi changed into a different pair of shoes? It's pretty obvious; the heels are different; these are actually zori sandals.]

[This pair of shoes also has a black sole and is also painted. Based on my experience, these are likely 5-fen-3-fen zori sandals. This means they have three layers of leather, each layer 5-fen thick.]

As I mentioned earlier, "zori" aren't actually straw sandals; they're mostly made of leather. Think of it as layers of leather padding, replacing the wood of geta. The price starts at ten times that of the "kurodaiyonsokomachi" I mentioned above. If they're made of genuine leather or more expensive materials, it's not out of the question to go for hundreds of thousands of yen or even more.

[Strictly speaking, these zori sandals are "painted five-cent three-piece black and red leather zori sandals," and they start at 100,000 yen.]

[There are some rules for changing shoes here. Geta are usually worn with yukata, and in the past, they were rarely worn with furisode kimonos. Wearing geta with kimonos now is because modern people don't care about it anymore. For formal wear, Hanabi's furisode kimono is always paired with zori sandals.]

[This kind of formal attire is usually worn at graduation ceremonies. Changing shoes on Hanabi's graduation day actually symbolizes that she has become a ninja.]

[Strictly speaking, graduations should be marked with yaba zōri sandals, which have arrow-shaped sandals on the sides, symbolizing "an arrow has been shot and cannot be retrieved." These sandals are typically worn for coming of age, graduations, weddings, or to symbolize a new beginning. Incidentally, these arrow-shaped sandals are made, not painted or dyed, so few people can make them these days, only a few artisans. Ninja Road is Japanese-style, so there should be more people who can make them.]

[From her shoes, it's clear that Hanabi has a special background. At least she's a wealthy woman.]

[Finally, many people say that Hanabi-san isn't wearing tabi, but white stockings. I can confirm this, as it certainly doesn't look like tabi, especially compared to the other characters wearing geta. Pay attention to the graduation ceremony image. So, based on my years of appreciation for stockings, these must be white stockings. I'm boldly predicting they're definitely white stockings!]

"What a pervert..."

When Hua Huo saw this, she was also stunned.

Because when she went out before, she actually thought about wearing another pair of shoes.

This audience is simply amazing.

The fireworks continued to flow, followed by a string of replies.

[I'd also like to add that when Hanabi received the Book of Sealings from Naruto, the Sandaime Hokage was clearly relieved, indicating that the Sandaime was confident that Hanabi could obtain the Book of Sealings, and that her background was trustworthy enough.]

[High-heeled slippers starting at 5,000 yuan, amazing!]

[Three layers of genuine leather, it looks very expensive at first glance]

[Three! The swordsmithing competition is still chasing me! I want to make three Damascus Bowie hunting knives!]

Why bother trying to figure out things about the anime? In a TV show, the "poor" heroine claimed she was too broke to even afford a meal, yet she still lived in a villa, went to Starbucks, and frequented high-end restaurants. It was hilarious.

[What I saw was outrageous. The male and female protagonists were facing unemployment crises, and then they moved out of a school district apartment with a rent of 1.2 yuan without any hesitation. They also drove SUVs, had two Fords, and had two children in their senior year of high school.]

[Let's be honest, if a character wears a gorgeous furisode kimono and behaves like a young lady, the director, if they're not crazy, is designing her to be a wealthy woman. It's impossible to say she's so poor that she can't even afford to eat!]

[I want to see fireworks that are too poor to wear clothes!]

[Shrimp, you have no ambition! I'm different. I want to see a village where everyone is so poor they don't have any clothes.]
