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

Some of the lines are indeed references, so if you caught them, it's not your imagination lol.

After the wedding events in the anime, they did indeed fill in Naruto's childhood story.

Currently collecting data on Naruko...

Chapter 23: You Need to Think More, Sasuke, You Need to Think More

"Basically, this was a test."

"The content in school was just going through the motions, and yesterday's test was also led by Sparkle for the two of you."

"So when Sparkle proposed this plan to me, I agreed."

After everything was over, Kakashi Hatake began to critique the two.

"Heh heh, then I must have performed great!" Naruto, having subdued the wild boar, was now incredibly excited.

"Naruto, you completely lack an understanding of stamina allocation. While your recovery ability is good, if the wild boar had attacked during midday, your stamina would have been insufficient."

"Uh..." Naruto was momentarily speechless.

If it had come at noon, he would have basically been lying on the ground then. If the wild boar had really come, he would have just been lying there, waiting to be run over by the boar.

"Well, the final tactic was a highlight. You sensed the instability of the cliff in advance, then lured the wild boar over, using Shadow Clone Jutsu to increase the weight and pull the wild boar down." Kakashi still praised Naruto's later tactic.

"Heh heh, heh heh~" Naruto became happy again.

"That idiot definitely wasn't thinking that much at the time," Sasuke said, looking towards Sparkle.

This "test" was directed at him and Naruto. This meant that in Kakashi-sensei's eyes, Sparkle didn't need to undergo this test...

In fact, this test was also a suggestion from her.

A subtle feeling was churning within him.

Was it jealousy? Admiration? Longing?

Sasuke didn't understand himself.

"Alright, that's all for today," Kakashi said.

"Then what about our mission?" Naruto was still concerned about the mission.

"My shadow clones have already completed the patrol," Sparkle said.

Kakashi went to turn in the mission, and Team 7 dispersed.

Feeling inadequate, Sasuke continued his training.

"A genius?"

Sasuke had heard that term since long ago.

A genius of the Hyuga Clan.

A true genius.

If her Byakugan were still intact...

Before this, Sasuke had never paid attention to this matter. Even as classmates, he and she hadn't had much interaction.

But today, Sasuke understood.

She was someone capable of training and evaluating him from a higher level.

It was just like that day when he saw the destroyed training ground.

"Hoo, hoo." Sasuke finally stopped when he could no longer move.

Perhaps thinking of the destroyed training ground that day, Sasuke unconsciously walked here again.

"Hm?"

Someone was here.

"Sparkle."

It was Sparkle.

She was still wearing the same clothes from earlier, but her skirt hem was pulled up, and her sleeves were tied with tasuki – arm cords used to bind sleeves.

"Is that... a bandage?"

Sparkle's hands were wrapped in bandages, and blood was seeping through them.

In his memory, Sparkle's hands seemed to be fair and flawless, a stark contrast to the current sight.

"Good evening, Sasuke."

Sparkle turned her head.

"Your hands..."

"Ah, this, please don't mind it," Sparkle said. "Because I'm the type of person who doesn't get calluses, I tend to get injured more easily during taijutsu training. It's fine, it'll be better by tomorrow."

It didn't matter before, as Sparkle used to train at home. But as she grew older, skin abrasions and bleeding would often occur, which always worried her maid, Natsu Hyuga.

This was also why Sparkle didn't train at home.

"Kōen..." Sasuke looked at his hands.

Not getting calluses sounded like good news for a girl. But delicate skin was always so easily injured.

Moreover, her eyes were blind.

What kind of motivation kept her going?

At this moment, Sasuke suddenly realized that perhaps calling the other person a "genius" was actually disrespectful.

Sparkle was by no means someone who could be summed up by the simple word "genius."

"Compete with me," Sasuke said.

But Sparkle shook her head.

"Why? Do you look down on me?!"

Sasuke was a little agitated.

However, when two warm fingers touched his neck, Sasuke immediately calmed down.

"Because it's meaningless."

The voice came from behind him, and at the same time, the "Sparkle" in front of him dissipated like mist.

The battle ended before it even began.

"What kind of technique is this?" Sasuke asked in a low voice.

"Kyōka Suigetsu." For some reason, Sasuke always felt that Sparkle's voice was full of amusement when she said this name.

"At least let me see your ninjutsu." Although he had failed, Sasuke still wanted to witness Sparkle's power, not be so easily broken by this genjutsu.

"I'm afraid that's not possible yet," Sparkle said.

"How can I become as strong as you?" Sasuke pressed.

"Train. Wasn't your performance today very good?"

"I'm not talking about that child's play!" Sasuke couldn't hold back. "Only Naruto would be excited about that kind of thing!"

"I see," Sparkle understood. "Then, first, learn to recognize yourself."

"Recognize... myself?"

Sasuke hadn't expected that answer.

"Who are you, where do you come from, and where are you going." The three questions of life, while seemingly simple, were actually things that could trouble a person for a lifetime.

"I am an avenger, I will revive my clan, and I will kill that man..." Sasuke said.

"If that's the case, then all I can say is that your capacity is only this much," Sparkle said.

"You must know about the Uchiha clan."

If she knew Kakashi's news, she must know about his clan.

"If it were you—"

"Think more," Sparkle interrupted him. "Sasuke, you need to think more."

Think more?

Think about what?

"What exactly is the problem? Is the situation as it appears on the surface? Why did all of this happen?"

As she spoke, Sparkle had already removed the blood-stained bandages.

She threw the bandages on the ground, and then they ignited.

"Fire Style..." Sasuke immediately recognized it as a Fire Style ninjutsu, and its execution far surpassed his own.

"Why did all of this happen? How can one person do all this so silently? When a person makes a choice, what are they truly thinking? Don't let hatred blind you. Sasuke, you need to think more."

"And then what?" Sasuke asked.

"Bury it in your heart, and say nothing." Sparkle tidied her clothes and walked ahead.

"Say nothing?!" Sasuke vaguely felt something.

"If you can truly understand, if you can truly awaken—" Sparkle turned her head. "I will let you see my technique. My true technique."

As she spoke, Sparkle's figure gradually disappeared like fireworks.

Looking at where Sparkle had left, Sasuke fell into deep thought.

"Does she really know something?"

Sasuke fell silent.

However, he remembered Sparkle's teachings.

Bury it deep in his heart, and say nothing.

Think more.

It's not entirely inaccurate to say the Naruto World has its share of conspiracy theories.

For example, there's Danzō, and Danzō, and let's not forget Danzō...

You could say that if the Naruto World had eight measures of blame to go around, Danzō would take one, and everyone else would still owe two. Even in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Danzō still has blame to shoulder...

Finally, regarding the C3 Cube's "Love of Gimei Stranti" mentioned in private messages, it's indeed quite good. However, I rarely check my private messages. I've posted a thread about items; if there are random items, I'll select interesting items, abilities, and characters and incorporate them through a dice roll Anko system~

So please post there instead. I might not see private messages.

Chapter 24: Small and Fragrant... (Seeking Collections!)

[OP1/ED1 Filming Complete]

[Ninja Path Anime Series Version Now Online]

After a few days of training and missions, the filming for the stage play's opening and ending theme songs was completed ahead of schedule.

Upon returning home from a mission, Sparkle received a notification from the stage play.

"It's earlier than the time given by the stage play."

Based on experience, the bonus for the first episode's broadcast is much higher than for subsequent episodes. She wondered if the same would apply to the anime series broadcast.

"It's already available to watch."

Opening the stage play's interface, Sparkle found a new playlist. The first episode of the anime series was already up on the website.

The content of the first episode was similar to the live broadcast.

However, Sparkle noticed that during playback, some parts had added BGM, and some edits and shots had been changed.

During the "official broadcast," the stage play had clearly given the anime series a "fine-tuning."
