Multi-Anime, I Stand at the Forefront of Popularity Supremacy

"Hanabi..." Hinata watched her younger sister from behind with concern.

"Finally, Sasuke Uchiha."

"Ah!" Naruto, who had been excited moments ago, deflated instantly.

"...Class 8... Class 9... Class 10... That's all." Iruka finished the assignments.

Naruto couldn't hold back anymore. He stood up and pointed at Sasuke Uchiha, "Teacher Iruka, why do I, someone so outstanding, have to be in the same class as that guy!"

"Sasuke is the best performer among the graduates, and Hanabi was first in the written exam..." Iruka said, hands on his hips, looking at Naruto, "and you, Naruto, are the dead last!"

Hanabi watched the video with amusement.

As Iruka explained, something like a tag actually appeared on the video.

When Iruka mentioned Sasuke, the words "Overall First" appeared. When he mentioned Hanabi, "Theory First" appeared. And when he mentioned Naruto, a virtual scale, labeled "Dead Last," was shown crushing Naruto.

"To make each class's strength equal, this is the only way," Iruka finished, and the class erupted in laughter.

Naruto looked to his side.

Hanabi had a gentle smile on her face.

"Don't you dare drag me down, Dead Last," the arrogant cool guy, Sasuke, looked straight ahead.

"What does 'Dead Last' mean!" Naruto retorted, unconvinced.

"Do you want to fight, Dead Last?" Sasuke scoffed.

"If you want to fight, let's fight!" Naruto rolled up his sleeves. Hanabi said nothing from the side, only smiling, but her expression clearly said, "Fight, hurry up and fight."

"That's enough, Naruto. This afternoon, we'll introduce your Jonin teachers. Alright, dismissed." After Iruka spoke, everyone dispersed.

"Shall we go eat together? My treat," Hanabi immediately invited the two.

"No," Sasuke turned and left.

[Hanabi Rejected Three Times]

[Noble Phantasm - Even After Being Rejected Three Times]

[LOL, from the very first episode, Hanabi's invitations have never succeeded]

Hanabi: ???

Is that the main point here?

Although she gained quite a lot of popularity, this was too ridiculous.

Worrying about the mental state of this audience. JPG

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you respond like that when Hanabi invites you!" Naruto was very angry.

"Then Naruto, shall we go? Ichiraku Ramen?" Hanabi looked at Naruto.

"Eh, Ichiraku Ramen!" Naruto's attention instantly shifted from Sasuke to Hanabi.

"Of course... um... Ah! Today, I'll pass today!"

Naruto's expression suddenly changed drastically, and his stomach made a strange noise.

Then, he ran away as if escaping.

[Rejected Four Times in an Instant]

[Can't, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts]

[Hahaha]

So many happy, silly netizens.

If they are happy, then let them laugh.

At this moment, the screen also changed. On the screen was the Third Hokage bringing Kakashi to Naruto's home to check on him. Then, Kakashi keenly discovered Naruto's expired milk...

"Where is Kakashi-sensei..." Hanabi remained in her seat, still thinking about how to deal with Kakashi.

Collaborate with Naruto and Sasuke?

No! No! No!

Cooperate sincerely, then pass the exam together?

That could indeed work.

Although Naruto and Sasuke didn't get along, they actually had good chemistry. If they pulled off a combo, shouting a few lines about bonds and friendship, Kakashi might actually let them pass.

But... there's no drama!

It's not interesting, that's the original sin!

The audience is from 2024, not 1994. This routine from thirty years ago won't work.

"Hmm, I've decided. That's how we'll do it."

Hanabi had a good idea.

This time, she was determined to give Kakashi some psychological trauma, no matter what.

What if Kakashi goes berserk?

Nothing will happen.

One can live without living, but one cannot live without life.

Hanabi decided to do something big for Kakashi.

Although there are different worlds and performances, it's not a particularly fast-paced genre. Before writing, the author will do their best to find underlying materials like setting books and interviews, unless it's a purely original work with only one anime.

While fanfiction can involve secondary creation, the author believes that the premise of secondary creation is to respect the original work's settings. It's about causing a butterfly effect and creating interesting scenarios based on the original settings, unless it's nonsensical.

Here's a fun fact: many authors used to write that in Lelouch's world, tanks could crush mechs, claiming Lelouch's world never developed tanks. But according to the settings, Knightmare Frames actually replaced these traditional war machines.

Fanfiction for Honkai Star Rail and Honkai Impact 3rd is even more chaotic, but Honkai Impact 3rd can't be entirely blamed, as they've been retconning their own story.

Chapter 14: I don't want what you think, I want what I think.

After this "plot," Hanabi noticed that the Dimensional Popularity Stage's screen had switched to other characters.

Kurenai visited her cheap father, Hyuga Hiashi, because Hinata Hyuga was assigned to her class, and Hinata is the heir of the Hyuga Clan.

Kurenai also brought up Hanabi's matter, but the screen cut away as soon as Kurenai started speaking.

Hanabi didn't mind. She could just ask Hiashi when she got back to know what was going on. The only ones who suffered were the viewers.

Next, the screen showed Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji discussing things together.

In the "original work," these scenes were supposed to be used for "flashbacks."

Because of Hanabi, the latter half of the third episode of "Naruto" was completely unrecognizable. Without Sakura Haruno, a whole wave of "love brain" antics was missing.

However, the Dimensional Stage understood and simply used slice-of-life scenes to "make up for it."

"Hanabi."

Hanabi was in the classroom "watching anime" and the audience's comments when Hinata arrived.

"Big Sister," Hanabi stood up.

"Um, do you want to eat together?" Hinata asked timidly.

Because of Hanabi's existence, Hinata and Naruto's childhood "plot" was also gone. But perhaps because of their childhood experiences, Hinata always seemed quite nervous when facing her, almost as if she were avoiding her.

However, each time, Hinata would grit her teeth and persevere, refusing to run away due to nervousness.

"Of course~"

Hanabi also loved Hinata's cute appearance as she desperately held back.

And it was amidst this daily life that the third episode of the anime finished.

[Key plot not concluded, rewards will be delayed until the plot is finished]

The content of the third episode was also slice-of-life, so even the rewards weren't distributed immediately.

Afterward, almost instantly, the bullet comments turned into things like "First!" and "Arrived just in time."

For Hanabi, only a morning had passed, but the audience on the other side had waited for a week with bated breath, finally getting to the fourth episode.

After having lunch with Hinata and resting for a while, it was time for the assembly. The Jonin from other teams had arrived one after another, leading them away, but Team 7 was consistently stood up.

"So slow," Naruto, bored, glanced outside and saw that their teacher still hadn't arrived. A sly grin spread across his face as he placed the chalk eraser on the door.

"How could a Jonin fall for such a crude trap?" Sasuke looked at Naruto's actions, utterly speechless.

[They'll definitely fall for it]

[That's a given, it screams contrast]

[Old trope]

[LOL]

[Not necessarily, I suspect the Third Hokage might suddenly show up and drop the chalk on his head]

[Haha, that would be even funnier]

The netizens were still having a blast.

"They definitely will fall for it," Hanabi suddenly spoke.

"Really?" Sasuke looked at Hanabi.

"Well... let me put it this way. If a Jonin is both late and falls for a super simple prank trap, what would your opinion of this Jonin be?" Hanabi asked.

"Hmm..." Sasuke's expression sharpened. "Disrespect? But why?"

"And then if this Jonin says they will conduct an exercise or a test, what would your thoughts be?"

"...I'd think it would be easy. Wait, could that be the opponent's objective?" Sasuke seemed to understand.

"As far as I know, not all graduates can become Genin. After each exam, don't you still see some 'familiar faces'?" Hanabi said.

Naruto fell into a state of confusion, "Who am I?" But Sasuke reacted, "That's right. If they can't become Genin, these people won't say anything, and might even actively avoid us out of shame. So, graduates can't truly become Genin yet?"

"Well, who knows~"

[6666]

[It seems Miss Hanabi is the intellectual support.]

[These two, one an idiot, the other a show-off, neither are particularly bright.]

[This is the straight man and the funny man, a classic pairing.]

[Even though my wife isn't dressed like a ninja at all, this kind of information-gathering ability is definitely something only a true ninja could achieve.]

[Late Teacher: I'm on the fifth floor. Hanabi: I'm in the atmosphere.]

——This is exactly the effect I wanted.

Hanabi didn't care about conspiracy theories or psychological games.

Kakashi looked decadent and lazy when he first appeared. Although there was an original anime episode saying Kakashi was actually watching Team 7 the whole time, Hanabi's Byakugan had already scanned the area—this guy wasn't there at all.

Who knew why Kakashi was late? What if he really overslept after a nap and was just groggy and late?

Hanabi's goal was to make the audience feel a sense of awe and mystery.

I don't want what you think, I want what I think.

It didn't matter what Kakashi thought. What was most important was making the audience think Kakashi was thinking what she said he was.

Hanabi wasn't guiding Kakashi, she was guiding the audience.

I, Master Director Hanabi Hyuga.

"No way," Naruto was stunned. He wondered if he should take down the chalk, but he couldn't decide whether to or not.

And just then, the classroom door was suddenly pulled open, and the chalk fell onto a head of white hair before hitting the floor.

The scene fell into dead silence.

"—He, he actually fell for it?!" Naruto screamed.
