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

Sparkle was on screen, tying ropes. These were her "Ninja Tool edition" ODM Gear, prepared for herself.

Then Sparkle looked up and out the window.

At this moment, the camera followed Sparkle's movement to Naruto and Sasuke.

"Damn it!"

Naruto and Sasuke fell from the trees, both panting.

[Naruko for the win!]

[What if Naruto isn't just the male protagonist, but also the female protagonist? Actually, Sparkle and Sasuke are just supporting characters lol]

[Holy crap, that makes sense]

[Huh, is he really a genius?]

The two of them repeatedly ran towards the tree trunks, only to fall down again. They were out of breath, but they didn't give up.

Under the stirring BGM, this scene actually felt somewhat passionate.

"Aaaaah!!!"

As dusk fell, Naruto and Sasuke finally roared as they reached the treetops. They looked at each other and smiled.

Then, the scene switched to the two of them lying down.

With the tinkling of bells, a round of applause sounded.

Sparkle made her entrance.

[???]

[Did something get added?]

[Bells and ropes]

[Wait, what's that inside her collar?]

The audience noticed Sparkle's changes faster than Naruto and Sasuke.

It was actually quite obvious, because when she was clapping, Sparkle's wrists were exposed. The red ropes and bells wrapped around her arms had a very strong presence.

[The ropes from before, they weren't worn under her clothes, were they?]

[Holy crap, hot-blooded shonen anime is going this far]

[Hot-blooded anime has it tough these days]

[She's probably preparing some ninja tools. I think next episode will be a long arc. These two episodes are just daily training and preparation. Clearly, there's something big coming.]

Some viewers were analyzing rationally.

But more people were shouting "waifu" while making meaningless sounds like "Rinshi Fu" and "Kikko."

However, Sparkle's popularity did indeed increase with this. Her popularity points, which had been zero, shot up by several thousand, almost reaching her initial appearance level.

"Is it okay to have so many bells hanging on you? You can't hide your movements at all," Sasuke chimed in with a helpful comment.

"These, ah~"

Sparkle jiggled her wrists again.

However, the bells that should have tinkled this time actually made no sound.

"Actually, these are all ninja tools," Sparkle explained. "Did you guys really think they were just decorations before?"

—They were just decorations.

But this time, Sparkle began to "patch up" the previous plot, making the audience believe these were "foreshadowing."

The effect was excellent, and there was no OOC.

Perfect.

Afterward, Sparkle pulled out a steel wire, flicked her hand, and shot it onto a branch. Then, she was pulled up by the wire herself.

"Seeing you two work so hard, I've also made quite a few preparations," Sparkle said.

"Yeah, I feel like Sparkle is a bit different from how she was during the day... Oh, right, she has a lot more decorations now!" Naruto noticed.

"They're all ninja tools," Sparkle said. "I've strengthened the ninja tools I used before."

Seeing her popularity points start to dip, Sparkle decided to up the ante.

"So I've strengthened my previous rope armor undergarments."

[Wait, undergarments are just underwear...]

[I heard that people don't wear anything under their kimonos, so I thought Sparkle was the same]

[Wait, rope armor?]

[What's the big deal? The chainmail on these ninjas looks like netting. If they have chainmail, what's the big deal with rope armor?]

[Dude, but that's easy to misinterpret]

[I'm the impure one, I confess]

[Did anyone else notice Sparkle's maneuverability just now? This rope armor must be like an exoskeleton, enhancing her mobility.]

A wave of bullet comments drifted by.

Many of the comments were heading in the wrong direction.

However, this was also Sparkle deliberately misleading them, or rather, not even really trying to mislead.

It was just that the truly revealing content was only visible to Sparkle herself and her Big Sister Hinata. As for the audience… let them continue to imagine.

Sparkle's popularity had practically maxed out this time, quickly breaking into five digits again. She had become a rich person once more.

There would be double monthly tickets on December 25th, and the monthly ticket rewards would be discussed then.

However, they could start a reward for clicks and blades first.

The reward would start at 12 o'clock, and they would add an extra chapter as a courtesy first~

Chapter 40: What a Swimsuit Episode (Extra chapter added, please collect~)

"Um, um." Naruto's focus wasn't on the ninja tools. "Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to wear rope as clothes?"

"My constitution is rather special. While it's usually a hindrance, it's just right at times like this," Sparkle said with a smile.

"But don't you feel that uncomfortable sensation of being bound by ropes?" Naruto asked, confused.

"I actually quite like the feeling of being bound by ropes. It gives me a sense of secure reality."

[Here it comes, Sparkle-sama's lewd words]

[Lewd words +1]

[Three times, this is the third time, a full three times]

"You attached yourself to the tree trunk with steel wire just now, using Chakra, right?"

Sasuke was more concerned about Sparkle's strength.

Sparkle had directly attached herself to a branch with steel wire and then propelled herself upward rapidly.

At that moment, Sasuke's eyes were fixed on nothing else.

"Yes. It's the same principle as how you climb trees," Sparkle replied.

"The gap... is it really this big..."

Sasuke was extremely unwilling to accept this.

He had been feeling smug about successfully climbing the tree just moments ago, but Sparkle was already using such thin steel wire to attach herself to a branch.

Naruto hadn't paid much attention to this initially, but after Sasuke pointed it out, she also fell silent.

"So, the training now enters phase two. I already said it, which is walking on water. Let's do that after a day of rest."

The screen went black again.

Naruto and Sasuke had lost their previous excitement and were instead holding their breath, preparing for what was to come.

"You two should get a good rest tonight~ Ara~"

Sparkle looked at the two of them. Perhaps it was due to their previous exhaustion, but they had already fallen asleep.

"I was hoping Big Sister would come today so we could have some fun."

Turns out everyone had fallen asleep.

Well, Hinata had fainted from sheer nervousness...

The next morning, leaving the three still sleeping to be looked after by Natsu Hyuga, Sparkle went with Kakashi for patrol.

Even though it was early in the morning, Kakashi wasn't late today.

The livestream had surprisingly resumed at this time as well.

"Good day, Teacher Kakashi."

"Good morning, Sparkle. Thank you for the matter regarding the gravestone," Kakashi said, thanking Sparkle as soon as they met.

"White Fang-senpai was a hero. This is how he should be treated," Sparkle said without elaborating.

[White Fang? Gravestone?]

[Wasn't that Kakashi's dad from before?]

[Kakashi lifted his forehead protector, and his former teammate became his dad?]

[We weren't sure before, but thinking about it now, it's highly likely it was his dad]

[Feels like there's more to this story]

[Kakashi isn't late, I'm shocked]

Another wave of surprised bullet comments swept through, and the lore hunters and detail-oriented viewers were having a field day.

Sparkle didn't care about such things.

Kagami Uchiha had contributed to Konoha, so what was wrong with repairing his gravestone? Since she had taken on Rin's and his appearance before, what was wrong with offering a small apology in this manner now?

She did it because she wanted to.

"How do you move like that?"

Kakashi had intended to ask about Naruto and Sasuke, but he noticed that while the two were traveling through the forest, Hanabi had switched to a different method.

She was using steel wires to pull herself along, and she was even managing to maintain her balance.

"I made a piece of rope armor to help maintain my center of gravity and balance," Hanabi explained. "It works quite well. If I could find a suitable device that can store Chakra, I could even save more energy."

"Hmm, that's good," Kakashi nodded.

He had wanted to teach Hanabi something as a return favor, but it seemed Hanabi didn't really need his guidance?

Was he supposed to guide her on the Rasengan?

But that was the teacher's Ninjutsu.

Yet, Hanabi seemed capable of figuring it out on her own?

"Ah, what about Naruto and Sasuke?" Kakashi asked again.

"Climbing trees is no longer a problem for them; the next step is walking on water~"

A smile spread across Hanabi's face.

She had already picked out a new swimsuit for Naruto.

[Damn, it's really a swimsuit episode]

[God, 'dead water' swimsuits?]

[Does this exist in the ninja world?]

[The antics never stop]

[They call it a swimsuit, but the only girl present is wearing a kimono]
