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

The production team is also making jokes about Naruko themselves. But I feel like the real highlight is Hinata's various reactions lol.

Also, this Naruko and Sasuke look like a match made in heaven... Holy crap, they're so perfect together... .

Please collect, recommend, click, and vote for monthly tickets~ Anything is fine, just throw it to this weak, pitiful, and helpless little author.

Sniffle sniffle sniffle.

Chapter 29: Isn't That Better?

"Huh? Why is that?" Naruto looked completely confused.

"Training to climb trees while maintaining a transformation allows for more precise control of your chakra," Hanabi explained.

"Is that necessary?" Naruto wanted to get stronger, but before the Land of Waves arc, Naruto didn't have the same resolve he would later develop.

But since this was Hanabi's idea, and he had agreed to the terms, Naruto reluctantly transformed into a cute girl with blonde twin tails.

"Idiot." Sasuke crossed his arms coolly, looking at Naruto as if he were an imbecile.

But upon seeing Naruto's wildly swinging blonde twin tails, Sasuke couldn't help but avert his gaze.

"Under normal circumstances, chakra cannot be stored in large quantities or for extended periods. While under specific conditions chakra can exist indefinitely or for a long time, for most people, chakra is more of a 'use as needed' resource."

"Chakra is a mixture of spiritual and physical energy. When we use chakra, we first mix our spiritual and physical energy together, and this process is called chakra refinement. Although spiritual and physical energy exist within our bodies, we cannot refine them all at once."

Hanabi's "popular science" wasn't really for Naruto, but for the audience.

It was a way to showcase the world-building, attract viewers, and make them invested in the world itself, thereby increasing their engagement. This was also a method to boost popularity.

To increase popularity, sometimes you shouldn't focus the audience's attention on yourself, but rather make them realize the existence of a broader world.

This part was partially explained in the second episode with Konohamaru, but it wasn't elaborated upon.

Hanabi had seen in the discussion forums that viewers seemed to think chakra was similar to internal energy, so she was "correcting" them here.

This approach of correcting the audience's perceptions also helped deepen her own understanding and gain popularity.

[Got it, Adenosine Triphosphate, Glycogen, and Fat]

[What does that mean?]

[This is junior high biology class. The human body consumes energy, with ATP directly supplying muscles, then glycogen breaking down to supply muscles, and only then is fat consumed. Body and spiritual energy are glycogen and fat, and chakra is ATP]

[That's why losing weight is so hard, because you have to consume glycogen first, then fat]

[Damn, just talking about weight loss is making me fidgety]

[Please stop, don't continue with such a terrifying topic]

The popular science was having a decent effect, but the comments from the silly netizens were, as always, derailing the conversation.

"Improving chakra control can increase chakra utilization efficiency, allowing one portion of chakra to do the work of two. Continuously synthesizing chakra also helps us constantly strengthen ourselves," Hanabi said.

"Simply put, by constantly and precisely maintaining the use of chakra, you train your chakra control, idiot," Sasuke added, helping Hanabi explain.

"Let me put it this way," Hanabi said. "For the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, Sasuke might only be able to cast three fireballs before getting winded or even having his movements impaired. But if it were me, under the same physical and mental conditions, I could still maintain combat effectiveness after casting it five times."

"Ooooh ooooh ooooh!" Naruto shouted loudly, reminding them both that he wasn't an idiot.

"Naruto, your most proficient jutsu is the Sexy Jutsu, right? I heard you used it to defeat the Third Hokage. That's why I'm having you maintain this jutsu."

"Hehe, it's not that amazing~" Naruto, being subtly manipulated by Hanabi, felt a bit embarrassed.

"Can chakra not be stored?" Sasuke also had some questions. Although Sasuke came from a prominent clan, his clan was long gone, and he hadn't been taught much of the "common knowledge." Hanabi, from the Hyuga Clan, naturally knew more.

"Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Lady Tsunade's Yin Seal can store chakra."

"Tsunade?"

Naruto tilted his head, what was that?

"She's one of the Konoha Sannin," Hanabi said dismissively. "Besides that, in even rarer cases, chakra can be inherited or attached to others through 'reincarnation,' but this is still at the cutting edge of research and is still being studied, so you don't need to know about it."

Chakra is the combination of spiritual and physical energy. Because it possesses spirit, it can be reincarnated, and because it is physical energy, it can also be inherited. It makes sense.

"In short, Naruto, you'll maintain this form while climbing the tree. If you revert, transform again, and keep doing so until you can no longer maintain the chakra."

[Honestly, I originally thought chakra was something like internal energy, but it's different?!]

[It feels similar to stamina, I'll write a post analyzing it later]

[Chakra is a concept from India, possibly related to chakras]

[The blonde twin tails are right in front of you, and you're discussing this?]

[But that's a guy!]

[Isn't that better?!]

[It would be even better if he wasn't transformed, I'm more interested]

[???]

[Damn (a plant)]

[Why are there always such bold people popping up??]

"Chakra is so complicated," Naruto said, his head spinning.

"This is just the most basic stuff," Sparkle said. "The rest is too early for you. Like I said, Chakra is a combination of physical and spiritual energy. To truly increase Chakra, a physique that strengthens with age and a resilient spirit are most crucial. But you can't improve those in a short time, so improving your application efficiency is the best method. Train hard and get stronger."

[No wonder Kakashi said it was rare for Sasuke to use Fire Style. It turns out it was because he was too young and his physique was insufficient, leading to limited physical energy.]

[It's the same in the real world; a 9-year-old can't possibly beat an 18-year-old adult.]

[9 years old no, 8 years old yes.]

[Let the bullets fly for a while.]

[This is f***ing 8 years old?!]

The Bullet Comments had unconsciously drifted into discussions about movies and TV shows.

"In short, Naruto, just think of it as 'Chakra-level' weighted training," Sparkle concluded.

"I see! Sparkle, you should have said so earlier!"

Naruto suddenly understood.

If you had explained it like that earlier, I would have gotten it!

"Idiot." Sasuke didn't know how many times he'd called him that today.

"Also, after training, you don't need to go all the way back. My family's annex is not far, and I've already had someone tidy it up."

Joint training is the best scenario for feelings to heat up.

"Just you wait, in a week, I'll definitely reach the top of the tree!" Naruto clenched his little fists.

[Damn, he was a brute, but now he's a blonde with twin tails. I kinda feel like he's a bit cute?]

[I think I can really do it.]

[Calm down, that's a guy.]

[Even better that it's a guy!]

[It's over, another one is broken.]

[Actually, even if Naruto didn't change, just adding a wig with twin tails would be fine lol.]

[My bro says he needs to go calm down.]

A stream of Bullet Comments floated by.

Sparkle glanced at the Bullet Comments from other regions.

In the Japanese section, there were many comments like "Naruko www," where everyone had given Naruto a feminine nickname.

There were fewer comments in the European and American regions; they would probably have to check the comments section.

"Huh? My popularity actually increased again?"

Sparkle's popularity was almost used up, but now she found that she had gained over 3000 popularity points.

This episode was unexpected, and Sparkle had been constantly creating content. She didn't expect to gain popularity.

"Could it be that by driving the main characters to change, the popularity is also counted towards me?"

.

Author's Notes:

This was actually one of the cover options, but I didn't use it because I thought it might not pass.

The author is kyoshi9977 on X, the Honkai: Star Rail Sparkle is me.

I actually have quite a bit of content saved up. I'll push for rankings next week and have a burst of updates.

Chapter 30: Molotov Critiques New Anime Series

Sparkle felt that doing things this way might actually work.

"I wonder what the audience's world is like."

Considering that the world on the other side was largely the same as her previous life, but with many differences, simply copying wouldn't work.

She needed to "customize" based on the audience's situation.

Perhaps some plots that she considered classic shonen and hot-blooded might be considered cliché by them? Or maybe the "fujoshi" culture was prevalent there?

An excellent idol could lead trends, but as a supporting character, she currently needed to ride this wave.

Naruto and Sasuke began climbing the tree, while Sparkle spread out a picnic blanket, sat down, and activated her training mode to her limit, remaining still.

"Stage, can I know the situation on the other side?" Sparkle asked the Stage.

[Upon becoming a supporting character, permissions have expanded. Market research can be conducted, or you can wait for the Popularity Shop to refresh corresponding service options.]

She actually could.

"Can't even do market research as an Extra?"

The Popularity Points shop theoretically had everything.

But relying on that was too low probability.

"If the audience's world has a popular gender-bending culture..."

At that time, let alone Naruto, even Sasuke and Sparkle would definitely make him change into women's clothes, and even Kakashi wouldn't escape.

"Uwa!"

Naruto and Sasuke on the other side suddenly felt a chill and fell from the tree. Naruto's Transformation Jutsu also wore off.

"Damn it! You bastard Sasuke, don't mess with me!"

"Huh? You touched me first!"

Naruto transformed into a blonde girl with twin ponytails again and continued climbing the tree. Sasuke gritted his teeth and followed suit.

However, the two tacitly chose two nearby trees instead of continuing to train on the same tree.

"Stage, can I know other situations in the audience's world, for example, can I watch videos from there?"

Even if market research isn't possible, at least one can see something through audience feedback.

Just like now, Sparkle noticed that there seem to be many researchers and professionals in that world, and they can even trace absurd things like the price of her shoes.

Besides that, there are also quite a few people who just want to have fun.

Moreover, the previous Bullet Comments also revealed other Anime Series, um, that "Jump Heaven," the title itself sounds very jumpy. However, this Anime Series gives the impression that it will be a production disaster and a huge flop?

[In discussion with superiors]

[Being blamed by the leader]

[You can view popular videos related to Ninja Path]

Sparkle opened the comment section and found that a new video section had been added.

"Let me see."
