Naruto hodgepodge

In the afternoon, Shisui hurried to the office of the Third Hokage and reported in detail the recent progress of Naruto's training. The Third Hokage smoked his pipe, frowned slightly, nodded slightly, and his eyes revealed some approval and deep thought. The Third Hokage also asked Shisui about the situation of the Uchiha family. Shisui bowed and left, but he had already sensed the coming storm in his heart.

After returning to the Uchiha clan's territory, Shisui was stopped by the hurried Uchiha Yakata as soon as he stepped into the house. He was informed of the clan meeting that would be held in the evening. As night fell, the atmosphere of the clan meeting was so solemn that it was almost suffocating. Uchiha Fugaku stood on the high platform and announced in a deep voice that the clan was under close surveillance recently. Every word was like a hammer, hitting the hearts of the clan members heavily, making the anger in their hearts almost burst out.

The faces of the clan leader and elders were stern as iron, and their eyes were fixed on Shisui. There was an unquestionable urgency in their voices: "Shisui, you must give us a clear answer about your contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Are we going to endure this kind of surveillance and control forever?" Their eyes were filled with expectation and anxiety. Obviously, the dissatisfaction in the clan had reached its peak.

Shisui took a deep breath, his eyes were firm and clear, like the deep night sky. Facing the questioning of his clansmen, he did not flinch at all: "I understand everyone's anger and anxiety, but using Naruto and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to achieve a coup is definitely not the right way. We can't let anger blind our hearts, and we can't use innocent people as sacrifices." Although his voice was not loud, every word was sonorous, revealing his unshakable determination.

The elders tried to continue to put pressure on him, but Fugaku watched the conflict between the elders and Shisui and skillfully smoothed things over. He changed the subject and began to ask about Itachi's situation. After a while, Itachi would join the Anbu, and the Third Hokage had agreed. After that, the Uchiha clan would be able to obtain important information from the Konoha high-level officials.

Under the moonlight, Shisui and Itachi walked side by side on the way home. Itachi's eyes were full of curiosity and expectation about the unknown world. He turned to look at Shisui and asked, "Brother Shisui, after entering the Anbu, will there be many exciting tasks and experiences? Can you share with me some of your experiences in the Anbu?"

Shisui smiled, his eyes revealing a kind of nostalgia and warmth. He gently patted Itachi's shoulder and said, "Of course, Itachi. I remember when I first joined the Anbu, I had a mission to sneak into a hostile ninja village to obtain intelligence. I was so nervous at the time that I accidentally stepped on a napping cat while performing the mission. The cat jumped up in fright, and I almost had a heart attack."

Itachi couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He imagined the scene and found it interesting and exciting. He asked curiously, "What happened next? What did you do?"

Shisui continued, "Afterwards, I quickly calmed myself down and continued on with my mission. But since then, every time before I go on a mission, I always check to see if there are any cats napping around, haha!"

Itachi smiled even more happily, he knew that Senior Shisui wanted to say something light-hearted. He continued to ask: "Anything else? For example, did you encounter any particularly difficult opponents when you were in the Anbu?"

Shisui thought about it, then nodded and said, "Indeed, there has been one. Once, I encountered an enemy who was good at using illusions. His illusions used the environment, which the Sharingan could not break at all. The illusions he created were extremely realistic, and I was almost trapped in it and couldn't get out."

Itachi listened with great interest. He couldn't wait to ask, "What happened next? How did you crack it?"

Shisui smiled and continued, "Later, I discovered that this illusionist had a habit. Every time he cast an illusion, he would make a specific hand seal first. I took advantage of this opportunity, pretended to be trapped by him, and then quietly observed the changes in his hand seals. Finally, at the moment when I was about to be completely swallowed by the illusion, I found the flaw in his hand seals!"

Itachi was stunned. He imagined the tense and exciting scene and asked, "What will you do then?"

Shisui blinked and smiled, "I used the speed advantage of the Flickering Technique and the power of physical techniques to break the illusion. At the same time, I quickly used eye seals to cast a counter-illusion. The illusionist didn't expect that I could break his illusion so quickly. He was careless for a moment and I succeeded in counterattacking him. Then, in my illusion, he thought I was trapped and he was fighting wits with the air until he passed out."

Itachi listened with great interest and couldn't help laughing. He felt that Senior Shisui was a very interesting and powerful ninja. He suggested, "Brother Shisui, I have to report to the Anbu tomorrow, let's go to the barbecue together."

Shisui smiled at Itachi's expectant look and said, "Itachi, you were telling me about the Ninja Code a few days ago, but today you can't wait."

Itachi responded to Shisui with a smile, and the two of them went to their old place for the barbecue party.

In the evening, the Yamanaka family's dining table was filled with hot meals, and the family of three sat together enjoying this rare warm time. Ino, the precious daughter of the family, seemed particularly silent today, and her eyes revealed an unprecedented firmness.

Finally, she mustered up the courage, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and looked seriously at her father, Yamanaka Inoichi: "Dad, I've made up my mind. I want to start training seriously. I don't want to be bullied by those bad kids anymore."

When Yamanaka Hiichi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but more of it was relief. He knew that his daughter finally understood her own strength and value, which was an important step in her growth. He gently patted Ino's shoulder and said softly, "Good girl, you finally figured it out. Dad will start to guide you seriously from tomorrow, and we will work together to make you stronger."

Ino listened to her father's words, her eyes sparkled with excitement. At night, Ino lay in bed, her heart full of expectations and longings. She imagined what she would look like after becoming stronger, and imagined that next time she would not be the one being bullied, but a strong female ninja who would protect others.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was just turning pale, Naruto couldn't wait to get up, his heart full of anticipation for a new day of training. He quickly put on his training clothes, had a simple breakfast, and then hurried to the training location agreed with Shisui.

When they arrived, the sky was already filled with a faint morning light, a soft and mysterious light that seemed to contain some special power. Shisui smiled and said to Naruto: "Naruto, do you know? Morning is the best time to practice chakra. Because at this time, the energy between heaven and earth is the purest and most active. The morning light contains a special energy that can resonate with our bodies and help us better absorb and grow chakra."

Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Then what should we do?"

Shisui pointed to the ground and motioned Naruto to sit down. Then, he began to explain the details of the morning training in detail: "First, we need to adjust our breathing and let our bodies resonate with the surrounding energy field. Then, through specific hand seals and meditation techniques, we guide the energy in the morning light into our bodies. These energies will combine with our physical energy and spiritual energy to form new chakra."

As he spoke, Shisui began to demonstrate the hand seals and guided Naruto into a meditative state. Naruto followed Shisui's instructions, adjusted his breathing, relaxed his body and mind, and then slowly closed his eyes. He felt as if his body had merged with the surrounding air, and the energy in the morning light began to slowly flow into his body.

As time went by, Naruto felt his chakra growing, and his body became lighter and stronger. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the effect of morning training was so significant, which made him look forward to future training.

When the sun rose completely and the golden sunlight filled the earth, Shisui ended his training. He turned to Naruto and said, "Okay, that's it for today's morning training. You did very well, Naruto. Remember, as long as you persist, your chakra will continue to grow. When your chakra reaches a certain amount, we will move on to the next stage of training."

Naruto heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he scratched his head and asked: "Brother Shisui, does it only take a little while in the morning to practice chakra? Then I don't need to practice anything else today?"

Shisui smiled and shook his head, patiently explaining: "Naruto, you have to remember that morning is the best time to practice chakra, because the energy between heaven and earth is the purest and most active at this time, so the effect of practice will be particularly good. At other times, the growth of chakra is not as obvious as in the morning."

He paused, then continued, "The sources of chakra are physical energy and spiritual energy. So, in addition to chakra training in the morning, you should spend the rest of your time on physical training and mental training. Physical training can enhance your physical energy, while mental training can enhance your spiritual energy. Only when your body and mind are strong, your chakra will be more abundant."

Finally, Shisui patted Naruto on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Hold on for a month, and I will teach you a ninjutsu that suits you. Come on, Naruto!"

After the two parted ways, Naruto went home to cook. Shisui's manuscript was also returned, and he planned to go to the bookstore to discuss the publication of the novel later.

The Kurama in Naruto's body was very satisfied with Naruto's successful training. This Naruto felt much smarter than the original Naruto, and his chakra training was very smooth. The original Naruto didn't think about anything. He did work harder when he was a child, much harder than this Naruto, but he only practiced chakra and never thought. When he graduated from the Ninja School, except for suppressing his own chakra, the remaining chakra was four times more than Kakashi. But let's not talk about his strength. Compared with his peers, he is definitely the last one, barely reaching the passing line of Genin. Except for the fight with Kiba, which he won by fart, every time he didn't rely on his own chakra. I don't know if that Naruto can survive after losing himself. Thinking about it, the Nine-Tails began to become sentimental...

Inside the bookstore, sunlight shines through the half-opened curtains onto the wooden floor, adding a touch of warmth to this book-filled space. Naruto stands by the bookshelf, his eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness, as he tells the bookstore owner about his creative ideas.

"Boss, I'd like to know something about publishing." There was a barely perceptible tremor in Naruto's voice. This was his first attempt to bring his work to the world.

The bookstore owner was an old man in his fifties, wearing a pair of round-framed glasses, with a wise and kind look in his eyes. He flipped through the manuscript in Naruto's hand, turning the pages gently and nodding from time to time.

"Well, Naruto, the subject matter of your novel is very ordinary. The ninja theme is really too common, but the content of your story is still very rich and full of the excitement of passionate young people. However, in the publishing industry, you still need to understand some rules." The boss spoke slowly, with a serious tone in his voice.

"In the ninja world, publishing a novel is not such a simple matter. First of all, the subject matter of the novel must meet the needs of the market and cannot be too niche or extreme. Of course, this does not mean that you cannot write what you like, but you must also consider the readers' acceptance while maintaining your individuality." The boss paused and continued, "Secondly, the publishing house will evaluate your work, including the writing style, plot, character creation and other aspects. If they think your work has potential, they will sign a publishing contract with you."

"What about the profit sharing?" Naruto asked impatiently. This was one of the issues he cared about most.

"In terms of profit sharing, generally speaking, the author will receive a certain percentage of the book sales as royalties. This percentage will be determined based on the results of your negotiation with the publishing house, usually between 10% and 20%. Of course, if your work is very popular and sales are high, then your royalties will increase accordingly," explained the boss.

Naruto listened to his boss's words, feeling both excited and nervous. He knew that the road to publishing was not easy, but he also believed that as long as his work was good enough, it would surely touch the hearts of readers.

"Boss, I understand. I will continue to work hard on writing and strive to have my work published as soon as possible." Naruto said firmly, his eyes full of determination and belief.

The bookstore owner smiled and nodded. He believed in the young man's talent and potential. In this world lacking in entertainment, every soul who loves writing deserves respect and expectation.

After discussing the publishing and profit-sharing issues, Naruto left the bookstore. He didn't expect that because Shinobi Po Cangqiong was about ninjas, the novel didn't have much novelty. For example, the best-selling author Jiraiya once wrote "The Legend of the Genshin Ninja", which was an inspirational novel. It was actually quite good, but the sales were not good at all. He became famous after writing "Intimate Paradise". Because there are too many rubbish novels about ninjas, no matter how good they are, they are not outstanding. If I had known earlier, I would have changed it and used fighting spirit. I should have thought about the next book. I won't write the third volume of Shinobi Po Cangqiong. Forget it. Well, I'll publish a pornographic book to beat Intimate Paradise. I've decided, Jin Ping Mei Ninja World Edition - Feng Yue Bao Jian.
