Naruto Bloodline Theory? It's Just Trash

"Sorry to trouble you..."

Tsunade nodded.

After Sasuke left, she sighed.

"Old man, I think I understand you a little better now..."

"Tsunade..."

Impure World Reincarnation Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped out from the shadows of the office.

Watching Tsunade's melancholy expression, his gaze could not help but dim.

There was no helping it.

This was Konoha.

This was Konoha's darkness.

Someone had to bear everything... for the Will of Fire to keep functioning.

Danzo was gone.

Then Sasuke would become the new "Root."

And Sasuke's strength was enough for him to handle everything...

"Grandma Tsunade~!"

A knock sounded at the door.

Naruko's energetic voice came from outside.

Tsunade composed herself. "Come in..."

Regarding the Upcoming Plot and Word Count

As the title says, first of all, thank you all for your subscriptions, tips, blades, and support.

This book is nearing its end.

Basically, it will be finished at the beginning of next month.

I originally planned to write one million words.

Instead, I ended up writing 1.4 million... completely unexpected.

In the end,

I'll write through Naruko's ages seventeen to... nineteen, ending with [THE LAST movie].

No helping it, there are still half a month left. At the very least, I need to finish off my attendance bonus... gotta make a living...

Attendance bonus, attendance bonus, attendance bonus!

It's really about to end.

Yeah, it's about to end, about to end...

Though I'm very reluctant.

This is the end.

I've already created a folder for the new book. It'll still be Naruto—Naruto is my specialty. I only write Naruto.

This is my obsession in life.

As for the exact content of the next book, we'll see. After all, it's only a newly created folder... a lot of things haven't been decided yet.

At the earliest, it'll launch in September.
