Multi-Anime, I Stand on the Front Line of Popularity Supremacy

[First time thanking the admin this much]

After that, there weren't many bullet comments, probably because the admin had restricted them.

It seemed the netizens had connected the events of the story to the real world, which had terrified the admin.

"Teacher Kakashi, I'll take over here today. Naruto and Sasuke haven't had any practical experience with intelligence work, why don't we let them try?"

Sparkle said.

"Mm."

Kakashi nodded.

For Naruto and Sasuke, who were both orphaned, that last wave was indeed quite "intense."

Yeah, that's right.

Sasuke was also silent.

Although Sasuke hadn't said anything, he was eating hot pot and singing when suddenly he was caught in an indiscriminate AOE attack. His feelings right now were quite complicated.

Calling it intelligence work was just a way to let them relax a bit.

Even though so many things had happened, everyone was still going about their business.

"Inari-san~"

After learning Inari's location from Mrs. Tsunami, Sparkle found Inari again.

The child was sitting by the sea, staring blankly at the ocean ahead.

She walked over and gently patted Inari's shoulder.

"Heroes... die. They get killed by Gato..."

Inari's voice was weak.

He felt guilty, and because of his father's death, he couldn't escape the shadow cast by Gato.

[Damn, this kid's attitude towards Sparkle is completely different from how he is with Naruto]

[No duh, one's a loud blonde kid, the other's a gentle older sister. How could they be the same?]

[Sparkle, that's a woman who could be my mother!]

[Trust me, Naruto should have shown up with twin tails. I guarantee the previous speech would have worked then.]

"Naruto's parents both passed away when he was born."

"...Huh?"

Hearing this, Inari froze.

"Moreover, for various reasons, Naruto was ostracized by his peers since childhood and had very few friends."

Inari: ...

He thought of his own past experiences.

"But Naruto always kept these things hidden in his heart. He never spoke out about them to gain sympathy from others."

"Naruto never stopped moving forward. Even when he was covered in wounds, he remained optimistic and positive."

Sparkle said softly, "I don't know how you view 'heroes.' But I know that some things, if you don't do them, they will never be realized."

"It's like Gato. If you don't resist, then Gato will always be that dark cloud in the sky. But if all of you take action, perhaps Gato will turn into a paper tiger?"

"But..."

Inari tried to say something, but Sparkle pulled out a lollipop and popped it into his mouth.

"I know you're a kind child. The reason you told us about Gato's strength is because you didn't want us to be killed by Gato, right~"

[Telling a joke: getting killed by Gato]

[Looks like in the Ninja Path world, ordinary people's perspectives are very different from ninjas']

[Feels like the first arc of this story is about explaining what a ninja is]

Perhaps because the admin had been on a killing spree earlier, the netizens had all calmed down now.

"Everyone has their own path. Some paths, even if they know there will be sacrifice, people will still choose them. But those who retreat should not be blamed."

"If you want to be a hero, I will praise you; if you just endure silently, that is also a way to survive; if you want to turn and run, I will wish you a new life."

"However, you need to know who it is that paves the way in front, and who it is that builds a home for everyone. For such people, at least one should maintain respect and blessings."

"It's like heroes might die, they might sacrifice, but the traces of heroes do exist."

Inari looked up in confusion, "Traces of heroes...?"

"Ah."

Sparkle smiled, her smile incredibly radiant in the morning sun. She pointed to Inari's chest with her finger, "The traces of heroes exist right here."

Chapter Fifty-Five: That's a Woman Who Could Be My Mother!

[Life coach Hinata Hanabi]

"Think of a way to make Hanabi my mother."

"You in front, are you only going to spam that one line? I'm different. Lady Hanabi, I want to be your dog!"

"Lady Hanabi's doll, does anyone have the same one? I've been looking for ages and haven't seen it."

"There are knock-offs on Taobao, but they're cracking down hard."

"When the audience's cheers get louder, there definitely will be more in the future. Why would anyone leave money on the table?"

"Take_My_Money!"

After Hanabi finished communicating with Inari, the Bullet Comments became active again.

However, the screen had already switched to Naruto's side.

After sending Inari back and receiving a wave of thanks from Tsunami, Hanabi dispelled the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

It was time to proceed with the next step of the plan.

"Gathering intel..."

Naruto walked alongside Sasuke, hands behind his head.

"The situation in the Land of Waves is truly terrible."

Unlike Naruto, Sasuke quickly recovered even though he had been caught in an unknown AOE attack.

Although his experience with intelligence gathering had previously been limited to textbooks, Sasuke adapted quickly.

"Ah..."

Naruto looked up at the sky.

Sasuke couldn't hold back any longer, "What's wrong with you, you idiot? You used to be so carefree, how did you become like this after coming here?"

"Huh?!"

Naruto was annoyed. "What do you mean by that?!"

"Naruto?"

Suddenly, Naruto heard a voice. He became visibly more energetic.

"Is that?"

Sasuke also looked over.

A woman wearing a Beiyi stood there. However, her red eyes and long, ice-blue hair were faintly visible.

She gave off a very gentle aura.

"Aunt Kushina!"

Naruto excitedly went over to greet her.

Kushina Yukiei smiled, "What a coincidence, Naruto."

"A very beautiful woman. Is she hiding herself for safety?"

Sasuke already knew the current state of the Land of Waves from his previous investigation. Unemployment was high, and selling one's children was likely not uncommon.

—A country that had lost hope.

"Sasuke, Sasuke, this is Aunt Kushina I told you about. Aunt Kushina, this is my companion, Sasuke."

Naruto was very happy.

"Aren't you two ninjas on a mission? Why are you wandering around here?"

Kushina Yukiei asked "curiously."

"We're investigating."

Sasuke, thinking Naruto might be unreliable, jumped in to answer.

"That Gunbai..."

Kushina Yukiei's attention turned to Sasuke.

She had just noticed the Gunbai behind him.

"Ah, my clan's symbol. You recognize it?"

Sasuke became wary.

"Ah, I think I saw it when I was traveling in the Land of Lightning before. Kushina Yukiei smiled."

Sasuke frowned and remained silent.

However, from the "audience's perspective," Sasuke was thinking to himself: Land of Lightning? Come to think of it, didn't the Uchiha clan live in the Land of Lightning for a while?

Nice assist!

Hanabi was pleased with Sasuke's "added drama."

The purpose of this exchange wasn't for the current situation in the Land of Waves, but for the future Hikari Uchiha.

Her "special treatment" was limited to this Land of Waves incident, so she had to seize the opportunity.

As Hanabi Hyuga, going to the Konoha warehouse to search for the Warring States Sealing History is definitely out of character.

Although Hanabi also intended to defect, it wasn't convenient to do so at this time.

If she couldn't get information from Konoha, then she would have to get it from the Uchiha Clan.

Coincidentally, according to records, the Uchiha family's ancestral home was indeed in the Land of Lightning for a period before they came to Konoha.

So don't blame Hanabi for adding her own flair.

Compared to Konoha, the Uchiha Clan's history in the Land of Lightning was more ancient, more obscure, and more convenient for fabricating history.

Hanabi felt no burden in fabricating history in the Naruto World, and it was also for the audience's viewing experience.

Besides, this kind of thing was commonplace in Naruto.

Black Zetsu did it too!

If some unnamed mastermind could do it, why couldn't she?

"Since you're working, I won't disturb you."

Kushina Yukiei glanced at Naruto, bowed, and prepared to leave.

"Actually, we don't have anything special to do—"

Naruto suddenly spoke.

He didn't know why.

Perhaps it was due to Inari's words, but Naruto subconsciously wanted to spend more time with the other person.

However, thinking of his duties, Naruto got stuck, and the half-spoken words were choked back.

Sasuke sighed.

"We don't have much to do anyway. This... Aunt Kushina lives here alone, right? Naruto, if you want to do something, go ahead. I'll handle the rest."
