Through countless possible futures concerning Hinata’s destiny, Wang Yan discerned some clues.
Konoha, the Sand Village, and the entire ninja world will not enjoy peace for long.
Originally, fate had it that three years later, the twelve young elites of Konoha would all have grown up, and major events would start to occur gradually.
But now, due to his interference, many things will change, including the timing of these events.
The beauty of the butterfly effect lies precisely in this.
Wang Yan lost in thought in front of Hinata, made the young girl feel a bit aggrieved: “Old Ancestor.”
“Eh?”
“My second volume was rejected!”
Hinata gently shook Wang Yan’s arm coquettishly and with tearful, misty eyes that made her irresistibly cute.
“This little monster is much more cunning than before.”
Knowing that Hinata was deliberately acting cute, her naive appearance was hard to resist.
“How could it be rejected? I remember you saying that the first volume of ‘The Rise of the Leaf’ sold well and had good reviews… What’s the toxic plot point in the second volume?”
TalWang about her work, Hinata became serious, speaking like a little adult: “The readers want to pair Naruko with someone… Ahem… I chose someone I thought was suitable… Naruko is like a child; she needs someone older to care for her, right?”
Wang Yan curled his lip; such authors were pretentious, drawing Naruto but insisting it was Naruko as if a simple name change would fool anyone.
Quickly scanning the other’s superficial memories, Wang Yan spoke with a complex tone: “I see. The readers want Sasuke, yet you wrote Itachi. Going against the market, you’re asking for trouble.”
Caught in her little trick, Hinata blushed and grumbled in a cute tone: “It’s not Itachi, it’s… Uncle Ichiraku.”
Pfft!
Wang Yan choked on his blood, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
He never thought he would suffer internal injuries in the Naruto world, and from Hinata, no less.
Poisonous! It’s like feeding the readers crap!
Gathering his composure, Wang Yan looked at Hinata with an odd expression.
How good was the earlier plot of her manga that she hadn’t been ‘killed’ by the readers yet?
“Change! You must delete and rewrite! Let me tell you, your plot is looking for trouble… First, key characters can be bad, ruthless, and nasty, but must be beautiful! Even if a supporting character is a monster or non-human, you must draw them like handsome men and beautiful women! Do you understand the first rule of bestselling manga?”
“So, who should I write as Naruto’s partner?” Hinata revealed her true thoughts.
The two stared at each other, reading the “inspiration” and “immature ideas” flashing in each other’s minds in a split second, and Wang Yan felt a chill.
Little Hinata was repeatedly testing the limits of courting disaster.
“Disaster! Put away your bold ideas! Don’t include me!” Wang Yan immediately gave Hinata a harsh slap.
That slap from the old ancestor could be fatal!
To avoid further harm, Wang Yan glimpsed the outline of the third volume’s plot deep in the other’s mind.
Holy mother! Summoning beasts anthropomorphized, turning into cat girls, and falling in love with humans…
Beastiality or what? It’s too heavy for me!
Wang Yan, a mild ACG addict, couldn’t accept it!
He instantly gave Hinata a Dragon Chant… no, a mental suggestion.
“Since everything can be feminized, change all the male characters in your work to female. What Naruko, it doesn’t sound manly. If the readers don’t accept your original setting, you can change the setting and turn them into Yuri! The readers are like the Sage of the Six Paths, understand?”
Hinata obediently nodded.
She believed that the old ancestor’s words were indeed the truth.
The first volume’s framework was accepted because it followed the advice of the old ancestors.
After giving the advice, Wang Yan spoke gravely: “The spiritual imprint I left in your bloodline is about to dissipate. This might be our last conversation.”
“Farewell.”
Wang Yan patted Hinata’s little head: “Take care of yourself.”
After speaking, his thought form turned into a light, gradually dissipating.
Inside the Hyuga family mansion.
“Woo…”
Hinata made a sound like a kitten being abandoned, slowly opening her eyes.
Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, her gaze gradually hardened.
She would uphold the old ancestor’s will and resolutely continue on this path!
Hinata picked up an art pen and laboriously wrote six big characters on the draft paper.
“Everything
Can Be Feminized!”
…
As consciousness returned to his own body, Wang Yan suddenly felt as if he had forgotten someone…
“Rock Lee!”
During the power struggle in Konoha, the old and new clashed, and Lee, following Might Guy, ended up on the losing side and suffered defeat.
The defeat was one thing, but Lee, a straightforward soul, saw all his teammates from the Third Hokage’s camp defeated and still threw himself into the fray.
Thus, he was brutally beaten by Kimimaro, Kabuto, Hozuki Suigetsu, Tayuya, and Jirobo.
Tayuya and Jirobo went easy on him, but the other three, being cold-blooded killers, did not. Lee was defeated and severely injured, hanging by a thread.
If not for Tsunade’s compassion and talent, arranging for the medical team to save him and personally treating him, he would have likely died in prison.
Even though he narrowly escaped death, Lee completely lost the ability to be a ninja.
He couldn’t even engage in heavy physical activity in the future, let alone train or undertake missions.
As a Reincarnator, Tsunade naturally could use reward points for a full body repair, but she wouldn’t do that.
While compassionate, she wouldn’t go to such lengths for Lee.
Once maternal instincts overflow, it becomes a bottomless pit, and no amount of reward points would suffice.
This was truly sad news.
Wang Yan shook his head, his will arriving at the second floor’s intensive care unit in the Konoha Hospital.
Lee, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, with one eye almost purple, obviously blind, was barely clinging to life through IV drips.
Wang Yan was fond of the character Lee.
Lee’s character was said to be based on “Bruce Lee,” or Lee Jun-fan.
Even without this aspect, Lee’s personality and experiences alone were moving.
With no talent for ninjutsu and almost unable to use any jutsu, Lee, a reject, didn’t curse his fate. Instead, through insane effort, he became a powerful taijutsu ninja.
“Heaven’s great tasks impose first on one’s will, starve their muscles, toil their skin, and have them endure what they cannot.”
“If only Lee could inherit ONE-FOR-ALL, along with a robust physique and the Eight Gates, he could become a perfect Reincarnator warrior…”
With this thought, Wang Yan sent an invitation to Rock Lee.
In a semi-comatose state, Lee suddenly heard someone speaking to him.
“Do you want to recover, reignite your passion, and strive for your youth?”
“Yes/No”
Do you ever want a pair of Rinnegan or Sharingan eyes?
