Multi-Anime, I Stand on the Frontline of Popularity Supremacy

When wearing ODM Gear, specialized straps are worn beneath the uniform to secure the entire body, which helps maintain direction and gravity.

It wouldn't be impossible to replace these with ropes.

"Besides, I already had traces of various ropes on my clothes before, so I don't even need to 'prepare' for this."

Because she had a "foreshadowing" beforehand, Sparkle could directly use ODM Gear techniques.

Those ropes themselves were actually an accessory for Honkai: Star Rail Sparkle's fashion coordination. Sparkle thought they were great, making her look better and more recognizable, so she used quite a lot of them.

Later, Sparkle could completely tell everyone that she actually had such ODM Gear and ninja tools before. This was entirely plausible.

"These ropes themselves can't be just anything."

She needed to find some sturdy materials.

As for the "power source," if it really didn't work out, it could be omitted, and her own Chakra could be used to assist movement. The advantage was that it was convenient for training and practice. The disadvantage was that "endurance" wouldn't be good for long-distance assaults.

It was equivalent to... a human-powered airplane?

As for comfort, Sparkle didn't need to worry about it.

Normally, things like ropes, when in contact with human skin for a long time, would cause pain even if they felt comfortable at first. This was because the skin would constantly rub against itself, and the initial comfort would gradually turn into pain, especially with more delicate skin.

Don't underestimate the harm this "subtle influence" could bring to the body. Even comfortable stockings, when worn to sleep sometimes, could cause a dull ache in the toes the next day due to the tightness from the night.

In many cases, stiff necks followed the same principle.

Sparkle was different.

Sparkle had a scarless physique, or rather, a callus-free physique. Although it seemed like she would feel pain from the ropes, it was actually the opposite.

Because Sparkle's body had excellent recovery abilities, even if the ropes were tightly bound to her skin, she could maintain the same comfort she felt upon first contact. Wearing tight stockings for several days and nights wouldn't cause pain.

When facing heavy, powerful impacts, Sparkle needed to endure more pain than ordinary people, but in this slow process, she was less likely to get injured.

"If the ODM Gear straps were replaced with ropes, and then using them as a 'skeleton' and 'support,' drawing steel wires from my body to assist movement..."

Sparkle closed her eyes and thought for a moment.

Inspirations were flooding her mind. This passive ability was truly useful.

"But if I tie them like this, the shape of the ropes isn't very good."

Sparkle tilted her head.

"Right, how is a turtle shell... tied?"

Sparkle opened her collection of comment posts.

"...Hmm, I didn't notice it before. Appreciating it carefully, this person is truly a master."

Sparkle now had a complete plan on how to "localize" the ODM Gear.

Chapter 37: Let Big Sister Help Me Put It On~

Speaking of which, the metal craftsmanship in the Naruto World was actually quite outstanding.

Although many people mistakenly thought everyone in the Naruto World wore mesh armor, it wasn't actually mesh armor. It was just that the production team was lazy and drew it as mesh armor; in reality, it was close-fitting chainmail.

If you paid attention in the original work, you would notice that sometimes the sound effects for this "mesh armor" included the clashing of metal.

This kind of chainmail was very thin, truly resembling mesh armor, and most importantly, it could be worn close to the body without pinching the flesh.

So, starting from this angle, the materials for creating a "Naruto version of ODM Gear" were found.

This week, Sparkle attended another action scene class, thoroughly mastering the application methods of ODM Gear.

Of course, the main focus was understanding the movement techniques of ODM Gear to facilitate her "recreation" of it.

These were considered "extracurricular activities."

And in the Naruto World, she had also gathered the materials she wanted.

By weaving reinforced steel wires with some woven fabric, a tough yet soft rope was formed. Sparkle couldn't leave any marks on it with kunai, shuriken, or even large swords and ninjutsu; the effect was excellent.

"It's even more useful than that thin chainmail. If it were woven directly onto the body to become 'rope armor,' that might also be good."

These ropes could be secured to her body.

However, for the cables used to anchor to buildings and for pulling, such thick ropes wouldn't be needed. Only fine steel wires, almost invisible to the naked eye, would suffice.

Just as the world of Giants had its "black technology," in the world of Naruto, a thin steel wire could also bear a person's weight.

More importantly, these fine steel wires were not easily seen.

"But this kind of thing is a consumable."

Unlike the sturdy rope armor on the inside, this equipment, which needed frequent engagement with enemies, would be more suitable to be made with a "quick-release" method. This way, if the steel wire was grabbed or cut by an enemy, or in other situations, she could quickly replace it.

"And then there are backups. Right, I can store them here." Sparkle took out the bell.

Sparkle looked out the window. She was on the third floor, which offered a view of the distant spot where Naruto and Sasuke were practicing climbing trees.

At first, the two could only climb a few meters, but now they could run continuously up the branches. Although they still couldn't stop, they were close to the treetop.

Naruto's progress was particularly outstanding. Even while climbing the tree, he also had to maintain his transformation, yet Naruto was subtly faster than Sasuke.

From this perspective, having Naruto maintain his transformed state did indeed help his chakra control.

For the past week, Sparkle had Naruto wear a short, pink kimono, which was convenient for movement but definitely not suitable for a boy.

After figuring out that Naruto was the type who could accept himself turning into a girl and wearing women's clothes, but couldn't accept himself being a boy wearing women's clothes, Sparkle knew this method would force Naruto to maintain his transformed state at all times.

This was even the case during missions.

"But this is also Kakashi-sensei's consideration."

For this week's missions, Kakashi had taken on a long-term patrol duty. It was already autumn, a time when it was dry and fire prevention was crucial. Preventing forest and mountain fires was also important—Konoha itself was nestled within a forest, after all.

Sparkle wasn't sure if Kakashi was doing this to help Naruto and Sasuke's training or if he was simply being lazy.

Regardless, Naruto and Sasuke patrolled in the morning and trained in the afternoon, while Sparkle and Kakashi took over in the afternoon.

"Too bad the audience won't get this benefit~"

Sparkle felt a little sorry for the audience.

The original story's sixth episode was already the Land of Waves arc.

But a slice-of-life episode had been added here. It would be several months before the Land of Waves, and she didn't know if they would continue to insert slice-of-life episodes or jump straight into the "main story."

"I'll go take a bath too."

The hot spring in the annex had finally been cleared and cleaned. While Naruto and Sasuke were still training, she decided to enjoy it herself.

Although there was a hot spring here, there was only one. It was quite large, but she couldn't possibly bathe with Naruto and Sasuke.

After rinsing off, Sparkle entered the warm bath.

Soaking in a hot spring in the deep autumn was incredibly enjoyable.

It was a shame the audience still couldn't see it.

"More than this, I'd rather soak in the hot spring with my dear Big Sister."

Due to Sparkle's influence, Hinata Hyuga in this world was quite different from the Hinata in the "original work" who would blush shyly at the sight of Naruto.

Firstly, she kept her favorite long hair. Secondly, the butterfly effect caused by Sparkle meant that Hinata's childhood "encounter" with Naruto never happened.

When Hinata was bullied by other children, Sparkle had stepped in and beaten up those brats.

"Sparkle-sama." Natsu Hyuga's voice came from outside the door. "Miss Hinata is here to see you."

"Oh, Big Sister is here~"

Speak of the devil.

Although she had only been in the bath for a short time, Sparkle immediately got up upon hearing that Hinata had arrived.

Without bothering to put on her elaborate performance outfit, Sparkle changed into a yukata and went to find Hinata.

"Big Sister~"

Upon seeing Hinata, Sparkle immediately hugged her.

"Hi-Hinata..."

Hinata was a little flustered.

This was also one of the things Sparkle found most adorable about Hinata. Every time Sparkle hugged her, Hinata would become like a startled little animal, overwhelmed by the affection.

And it happened every time, as if she could never get used to it.

Sparkle always teased her Big Sister with this.

She was too cute.

"Big Sister, why did you come here?" Sparkle asked.

"Because you haven't been home these past few days. After finishing my mission and returning home, I couldn't see you, and I felt like something was missing in my heart. So, after finishing my mission today, I came to see you..." Hinata's voice grew softer and softer, to the point where if Sparkle didn't have good hearing, she wouldn't have been able to hear her Big Sister at all.

"Sparkle is truly happy that Big Sister cares about me so much~"

Sparkle nuzzled her again.

However, seeing Hinata on the verge of fainting, she reluctantly let go.

Sparkle said, "I'm mainly here to help those two idiots in our Team 7 with their training."

After being released by Sparkle, Hinata took a long time to recover. She lowered her head, touched her index fingers together, and said softly, "Okay, Sparkle, keep up the good work..."

"Oh, right."

Sparkle suddenly thought of something.

She took Hinata's hand.

"Big Sister, I'm also testing a ninja tool. Since Big Sister is here, please help me put it on~"

As acting is work, Hinata is life. Since this was a break time with no acting, developing their sisterly bond a little and teasing her cute Big Sister was also a good game.

Not a top, but not a bottom either; she's a top-type bait bottom... cough cough...

Pixiv ID 124691072 is good. It's actually Sparkle + Kurenai with rope, but it's fan-limited and available on EX. Since it definitely can't be posted here, I'll just point you in the right direction.

It's a shame that Honkai: Star Rail Sparkle is easy to find, and while there are many Hinata Hanabi, they're mostly Western, and their physiques are too eye-searingly bad.

Even though Boruto: Naruto Next Generations' Hinata Hanabi looks great, Western aesthetics... emmmm.

Chapter 38: Entwined Rope Armor

"Wh-what is this?"

Hinata Hyuga was very flustered.

After Sparkle pulled her into her room, Hinata found it filled with various steel wires, bells, and other items, as well as many Ninja Tools.

However, the most conspicuous item was a bundle of bright red rope placed in the center.

"I'm developing a new Ninja Tool. It's completed for now, but I can't put it on properly by myself, so, Big Sister, could you help me?"

Sparkle said as she closed the door and locked it.

"Yes, if I can help." Hinata quickly replied.

"Okay, Big Sister, please follow this and help me weave these ropes into a piece of clothing."

Sparkle took out a scroll.

The scroll contained instructions for weaving the ropes.
