Chapter 14 Mr. Kishimoto

Three years ago, on November 10, 2014, the 50th serialization of JUMP broke the shocking news: the end of the ninja era.

As far as the current development is concerned, Boruto obviously disagrees -

But at the time, everyone blessed the father of the ninja with regret and sorrow: congratulations on the end.

In fact, there were rumors that the ninja ending was the result of a halving cut.

In addition to the fact that the ending was really hasty, it was mainly because Mr. Kishimoto was crying a mess at the time.

He cried and said something to his brother, and it is said that even his brother was moved to tears. Later, countless dreamers who devoted themselves to the manga business were eager to know what the great manga artist with a circulation of 100 million copies (in Japan, not counting Chinese piracy) said at the end of a great work.

His brother was silent about this, because if he didn't say that, it would be a beautiful talk, and if he really said it, he was afraid that many people would lose their dreams-

"They (the editorial department) won't let me finish this time, so I'll go and play cards with Fu Jianyi. ”

That's about it.

He was crying at the time, and the terrible thing is that after he finished speaking, his brother cried with him - his brother was often caught as a substitute (to rush the manuscript).

The above is a bit of nonsense, but the following is true, the truth of the so-called "halving" is like this-

As early as the eighth year when Ninja began serialization, the plot progressed to the decisive battle between Sasuke and Itachi, and the original Kishimoto had already planned to set an end point here. At this time, Payne's new death, the mask of the earth, the death of Itachi, Sasuke's awakening, the Five Shadows Talks, and the main line of the group, the peak loop turn is an extremely wonderful ending point.

At that time, Mr. Yasaku Kosuke, Kishimoto's first editor-in-charge, had not yet left his post, the story had not lost its tension, and the mouth had not yet been popularized......

At that time, the masked man was the black boss, there would be no big brother (Madara), there would be no big brother (Six Immortals), and there would be no big sister (Kaguyahime), everything was so harmonious, and the end was at this moment...... Obito, the villain decides that it's you.

But (this word is frequent) -

His plan finally didn't come true, in fact, once he was over at that time, anyone who relied on this IP to eat would be unemployed, animation, comics, games, peripherals, ...... There is opposition from all walks of life to ending at this point. So the series of plots in the later period made Mr. Kishimoto lose the title of a storyteller, but he fed a large group of people, which was really involuntarily.

The same thing happened to Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball Ending) and Inoue Yuhiko (Slam Dunk Finale), but the former was tough and the latter was cunning, so they didn't get dragged for seven years. Legendary manga artist Yoshihiro Tomiyasu also suffered from this incident (at the end of the serialization of "Yuyu Hakusho"), and he went to play mahjong under the pressure of the editorial department's delays.

And Mr. Kishimoto has neither the determination of Akira Toriyama (directly sealing the pen), nor the cleverness of Yuhiko Inoue (first promising to draw a sequel, and then ...... There is no then), and there is no Tomiyasu Yoshihiro's card skills (this ...... The honest Mr. Kishimoto can only silently accept the reality.

In other words, the 300 words in the back of "Ninja" can be said to be forced out. This is also the source of the chaos of the later rhythm - not all kinds of speculation about the story itself on the Internet.

Speaking and at this time-

"I'm in pain. Kishimoto said.

Three years have passed, and now there are still a large number of professionals who can't get out of his life, and the stars are trying to suffocate this person in the studio.

It's been three years, and three years after the end, I'm still so unrelenting.

After a day of fighting with the group of businessmen, Kishimoto fell into deep despair, and then, in desperation, found the dusty revolver in the drawer - if it was, it would be another story.

What he found was actually a letter.

【Invitation letter from the Yulong Editorial Department to Mr. Kishimoto's Assignment】

The focus is on the last five words: "Invitation to Assignment".

To put it simply, this letter is an invitation for the author's cities to send envoys to each other for the purpose of exchanging technology, which is similar to that of more than 1,000 years ago, when Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty.

This invitation was written and sent by the "chief editor", the highest authority in the city of Yulong as three years ago. I sent a letter on the day of Mr. Kishimoto's end, hoping that this phenomenal author would come to Yulong as a guest.

The Yulong editorial office and the Tokyo Yamato editorial office had a period of hostility during the war, so the relationship has always been sensitive. The leader of Yulong's editorial department sent this letter just to ease the relationship between the two sides, and it has little practical significance-

That's what most people thought at the time.

Today, three years later, Kishimoto took out this letter: "No matter, let's travel to China......"

What a manga artist needs most after the serialization period is relaxation and travel.

Kishimoto Qishi directly applied to the Yamato editorial department and the Yulong editorial department, and all of them were approved.

Yulong is the largest author city in Asia, and the Yulong editorial department is the largest author city center in Asia. He made a request to the surrounding city, and the Yamato editorial office in Tokyo, where it was located, would not be able to resist. What's more, this time it was not Yulong's insistence, but the author's own intention.

Of course, a series of contracts were signed before leaving. What kind of confidential information, unique techniques, and author lists, they can't be promoted indiscriminately, and after you say it, we'll have to do what you do-

After a troublesome affair, it was liberated.

After the special plane landed at the "Yulong Second Airport", this person was completely like a chicken out of the cage, except for the pressure cooker and kitchen knife, basically nothing could stop him.

"Mr. Kishimoto—"

The reception staff at the airport is the editorial head of the Yulong editorial department. His important arrangement today is to contact this phenomenal super writer to come to Yulong.

Kishimoto stretched out his hand in a friendly manner: "Mr. Qian." ”

Qian Gong nodded respectfully: "Mr. Kishimoto." ”

After the two met, they walked side by side, exchanged pleasantries, and then Kishimoto symbolically praised the building, and he also politely excused himself, while trying to pick and choose to praise each other.

Halfway through the boast, Kishimoto found a problem: "Something is wrong......"

Qian: "What do you mean?"

"The city of Yulong is on the high seas of the North Pacific? Why is the Chinese author's city not built in Chinese mainland?"

"This ...... It's a long story. ”

Each country has its own internal affairs in this matter.

As one of the largest authorship cities in Asia and the world, there are many reasons why Yulong cannot be located inland.

For a simple analogy: a piece of Xiang pulled down by a pet anywhere at home can make the whole family uncomfortable for a long time, and Yulong City has to be half the size of Beijing, and I don't know how many lumps it can pull...... Ahem, to put it simply, such a giant city, if it appears in any country out of thin air, will cause an uproar and cause many people to be uncomfortable for many years.

Comparatively speaking, Tokyo's author's city is placed in the capital, as if there are more villages. Kishimoto couldn't understand this, just as foreigners didn't understand why Chinese broth was poured into buns and drunk.

This is one thing, and the other is the second one.

How long the history of China, there is a long hermit culture, in the Chinese culture, the master has the ability to shrink in the ravine countryside, that is the achievement and do not want to bother more, this is fully reflected in the scale of the Yulong capital.

Yulong's big and inappropriate is to fully settle the psychological needs of this group of people who need to live in seclusion, and the career of fame and fortune has been achieved. When it was time to retire, I still squeezed public toilets with others, lived in collective dormitories, and ate noodle stalls, and I didn't know what I was trying to do.

"The group of Yulong authors is very large, and it is not easy to manage collectively, so in order to ensure the construction area, it can only be relocated, and it is not possible to put it in China. ”

Kishi didn't understand it, and felt very aggrieved: "I came to China for tourism, and I ended up living in the North Pacific......"

Qian's emotions are not visible to the outside, but he knows how to observe words and feelings: "Mr. Kishimoto doesn't know, there are two airports in Yulongdu alone, and the second airport where we are currently located is used for entry. The other first airport is for departure, so to speak, for business trips. ”

"Can you go back home?"

"Just apply as per the law. ”

Kishimoto was slightly stunned, and then said with that funny avatar-like expression: "Oh~oh-"

"But there's a problem—" Qian continued, explaining, "if you're going on a business trip, you'll need to find a position in Yulong. ”

This is normal, you can't let an idler run around, people can go out, there must be errands.

Kishimoto is as kind as flowing: "Can you arrange a casual career for me? To be presumptuous, in fact, I also came here to avoid the limelight." ”

Dry: "Fame is like a river, if you are not famous, you are thirsty to drink, and fame is like bursting a." I care, but I don't know what position Mr. wants to hold in Yulong. ”

Qian's assistant has been working overtime with Qianqian for two weeks, and he is tired and tired and has to come to pick up people, and at this moment he muttered in a low voice: "I knew earlier, I would have been a teacher, the teacher is the most leisurely......"

Qian frowned and glared back at the man: "Talky!Mr. Kishimoto is going to be the teacher of Yulong's students?"

The man was so trained that he bowed his head so hard that his glasses fell off. Because this is the reason, the creation technique above the C rank is considered an important secret between the cities. This is not the nature of inviting a "foreign teacher", but inviting a foreign general to come to China to give a lecture on the equipment performance of the motherland - that is called betraying the country.

In other words, it's nothing for Kishimoto to be a teacher, and the students who are taught are bound to learn nothing.

Kishimoto's heart moved: "Are the teachers in your country very idle?"

"It's not very ......" Qian was surprised that this person was really willing to accept this errand, and suddenly an idea moved: "It is indeed very leisurely, there is a student who is very smart, and the doorman and truck driver can be self-taught, if the teacher wants to be free, he might as well take that student." ”

solved the problem of Kishimoto's placement, and killed two birds with one stone, and was able to return the favor to the student who loved to make trouble, and the little abacus in his heart jingled.

As for whether Xiao Yao can learn anything from Kishimoto-

Qian thought silently: "If you can learn it, you will make meritorious service to the feather dragon, and if you can't learn it, you will only blame yourself for not being blessed." ”

Confucius once said: In life, mixing is the foundation of life.

The saints all say that human life is nothing more than a mix, just look at how to mix. With today's means, it can be said that it has mixed up the realm and style-otherwise, how can someone be an editor in Yulong.

"If Mr. Kishimoto is interested, I will immediately start arranging this matter, and by the way, I will hand over this student's information to you-"

Kishimoto: "I'm in trouble. ”
