Chapter 117: For a Better Tomorrow
Under Konoha Co., Ltd., a large and brand-new bookstore affiliated to Konoha Literature, in one of the lively areas, the first writer under Konoha Literature is holding a new book launch.
Inside the Hokage Building in Konoha Hidden Village, Jiraiya temporarily stopped signing and took out the anthology from the drawer, and it could be seen that there were also several of his works on it.
Since the special study, Jiraiya's literary level has improved a lot, and it is the foundation that has really accumulated little by little.
And after the release of the new book, some book friends also reacted, and Zilai gradually got rid of the previous low-level interest. Even some critics in the literary circles have rarely criticized him, a best-seller in the past, for selling meat to get sales, and his ideological realm has improved considerably.
It's a pity that he didn't wait for Jiraiya to make persistent efforts, and he was ready to write a work that surpassed the paradise of intimacy, with both praise and sales, so he put the position of Hokage on the seventh class.
"Uncle Ben hasn't held a new book launch yet, Naruto, just a few short story collections, and jointly publish a single book, and then you can hold a new book launch conference."
Jirai was also a little envious, but he had to admit the fact that in writing, Naruko dumped him more than eighteen streets.
That gap can't be made up for by reading for another ten years.
Jiraiya vaguely remembers that, according to Sakura, Naruko's kind of talent is called talent.
And thinking about Naruko, although Naruto is Naruto's shadow clone, Naruto is not Naruko, and Jiraiya feels a lot better.
Cleaning up some envious and jealous thoughts, he also paid attention to government affairs and continued to correct documents.
One look, one signature, another look, another signature, this is already a daily work routine that has lasted for a while······
Perhaps the previous leader enjoyed such a busy work, after all, the big and small things can be grasped together, and the power can be held very tightly.
More than ten years ago, after the martyrdom of the four generations of Hokage, the three generations returned to power, and soon suppressed the group that was engaged in wind and rain, and it can be said that he is handy in handling these government affairs.
But when it was Jiraiya's turn to be here, he felt that his "freedom" was bound, and his prodigal heart had gradually become unmoving.
As a character with a temperament close to "Haojie", Jiraiya doesn't value the power of the Hokage, on the contrary, he feels very uncomfortable now dealing with so many government affairs every day.
However, because of the main driving force for the change of Konoha Hidden Village, although it does not originate from him, it needs the approval of him, the fifth generation. As you can imagine, if it weren't for the five-year plan from the Hokage, they would have put a lot of obstacles on them, even if they didn't need the old guys to pay for it.
Therefore, this Hokage position, he must continue to do it.
"Since all aspects of Konoha Hidden Village are changing, the scope of the Hokage's work should also change." Jiraiya signed his name while muttering to himself, and gradually made a decision in his heart.
According to the current trend of increasing the amount of these tasks, even if he is not good at mathematics, he can calculate it, and in this way, government affairs will not be able to be handled in any way.
In one of the possible futures, Naruto took the position of the seventh Hokage of Konoha at that time, and the village was very close to modernization, but Naruto, as the Hokage, was even busier than before.
In addition to the fact that there are more things in the village, it is this kind of work mode that handles all the things in the first hand, and it is difficult to manage a larger village.
No matter how big or small, Zhuge model workers will die of overwork, not to mention this group of ninjas with the wrong major.
It's just that the shadow clone is tired and asleep, which can be said to be a manifestation of Naruto's strength.
Although he is not in the right major in politics and economics, he is not bad at mathematics, so he can naturally calculate it.
If it continues to develop like this, there is no need for other ninja villages to join forces to attack, and he, the fifth generation of Konoha Hidden Village, who turned the tide of the tide, will die honorably in the post of Hokage.
······
At the time when Jiraiya made up his mind, Naruko's new book launch was still ongoing.
"Konoha literature is booming, which writer is the most dazzling in Konoha literature, and even the brightest new star in the literature of the Fire Country?"
Under the passionate question of the person in charge, the book fans who came to support replied in unison: "Of course it's Naruko-sensei!" ”
"Naruko-sensei!"
The one-liner "Diary of a Sengoku Ninja" was a collection of beautiful short essays, and as Naruko's work, it was almost sold out on the same day.
Xu is because he studied with Sakura, and most of the short essays written by Naruko are about the Warring States period, and some of the daily lives of Tsuruma and others are reproduced with delicate brushstrokes.
So, in the end, after the collection was completed, Sakura took the name in friendship.
But it doesn't matter what the name is, readers who like it will still buy it. At this moment, there is a lot of traffic in this area, all waiting for Naruko to appear.
When Tsunade and Shizune came over, they were secretly shocked to find that the team had almost crowded out of the door.
"Is Naruko so popular?" Tsunade looked at the long line and asked for silence.
In this regard, the silence was not clear, so he had to shake his head: "I don't know either." But now that there are so many people here, do we have to keep queuing? Tsunade-sama. ”
"It's all here, it's good to take a look." Tsunade said, not leaving the room.
Now she has a lot of time, and she is not the Goyome Hokage who will die of overwork sooner or later, so she naturally has this kind of leisure.
At the front of the line, before the signing began, a girl with blond hair and a quiet temperament appeared, which made the interest of everyone who came here ignite.
After all, people love beautiful things.
And Naruko's image fits what people think at this moment, which makes them more enthusiastic.
"Thank you for your support, and I hope that the future of Konoha Village can be even better." With a gentle smile on her face, Naruko recalled what she had seen and heard, as well as the difficulties in the hearts of the people she had met so far, and just tried her best to say, "The future of Konoha Hidden Village still depends on our hands to create. ”
"In literature, I'm just a newcomer, but I try to write better works. In terms of the development of Konoha economy, it is necessary for everyone in Konoha Hidden Village to work together. ”
"Thank you!"
Because of Naruko's words, the scene was very lively for a while, and the fans who came to support didn't expect Naruko to care so much about the current Konoha Hidden Village, but they felt a little more identified with Konoha in their hearts.
The decision of the five generations of Hokage on the economic development of Konoha Hidden Village must be very right,
After Naruko's sincere words fell, the signing officially began. In a sense, Tsunade didn't come very late, but it should be just right.
But she didn't bother with that, she just thought about Naruko's words and the wishes of the people in the seventh class.
Although Tsunade left the village before Naruto was born, depending on her status, there was no problem in wanting to know about the past.
Naturally, Naruto's situation when he was a child, Tsunade also indirectly understood something.
And in this year, Naruto, as a great hero of Konoha, made many contributions to the resolution of the riots. However, walking on the street, there are not many words about the Konoha heroes.
In comparison, Naruko's identity is much more popular.
[Turns out, is this Naruto's purpose?] Through a better image, so as to get more people's recognition, really, the current little ghost]
"Tsunade-sama, are you also coming to Naruko's book launch?" Not far in front of Tsunade, Shino poked out to say hello.
Today, Naruko's new book is released, and there are many people in my friends who want to come over to support, but only a few of them are free.
Among the people who want to continue the task or practice, Shikamaru is the one who wants to come over and support the most, but unfortunately he still has to continue to practice, and he can't find an excuse to come and be lazy.
Since being caught by Ning Ji to the new training ground and starting to experience what heaven and hell are, Shikamaru has only experienced a few days from thinking about struggling to escape to numb and resigned to his fate.
Lu Jiu didn't mind letting his son continue to salt, anyway, apart from his IQ, there was nothing left for this son.
However, it was not Shikaku who was in charge of the family, and his indulgence made Shikamaru's mother Nara Yoshino very dissatisfied, so Shikaku had no choice but to watch his son go to accept the transformation of the new training ground.
Without the support of his family, but with his own cleverness, in the case of too much disparity in strength, Shikamaru had no possibility of escaping, so he could only be reluctantly appointed.
And Ding Ci is still trying to bloom his youth with Kai for more delicious food. In order to fear that the energy of his youth would bloom, Ding Ci had to continue to eat food hard.
Therefore, in the end, the group of pigs, deer and butterflies, and the little girl Ino had time to come over for friendly support.
And the classes of the other squads, more or less, also had one or two people. Although, because of the large number of people on the scene, when they arrived, the queue was already very late.
For example, Comrade Nai can go to the front, mainly because everyone doesn't notice him.
And after hearing Shino's words, Tsunade said: "I just have time today, and when I pass by and see here, I just come in and have a look." ”
"By the way, are you friends with Naruto too? The geniuses of this generation seem to have a very good relationship! ”
While he was still in line, Tsunade chatted with this junior for a few words, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
No matter what generation it is, in fact, in the earliest days, the relationship is very good. I just hope that they can continue to get better.
On the stage, it seems that in order to make everyone wait for less time, Naruko's efficiency in signing is very fast, and the beautiful line of books is signed, which is very efficient.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of Teacher Naruko, and even his calligraphy skills are so profound." The Konoha villagers who received the signatures just sighed softly.
Naruko smiled silently and continued to sign.
Soon, when it was Tsunade's turn, he came out with a single book, and looking at the flowing font on it, Tsunade fell into deep thought.
What else is there that Naruto is not good at?
Almost after this signing session was over, Naruko's wrist was still very stable, and it didn't stop until the two hundred places were closed.
"I'm sorry, everyone, because that's all for the time being, the rest can't continue to sign for the time being."
Naruko smiled apologetically, and then continued: "But in addition to the release of the new book today, there will also be fifty manga here, which is a hardcover version of "The First Gaiden", but for some special reasons, that teacher can't be there. ”
And listening to Naruko's words, many of the people present who were originally very excited had to calm down their emotions again.
They didn't blame anything for Naruko's words, but they heard the news of the first Gaiden, and they thought that the author was there, and they were very emotional for a while.
However, Sakura has no intention of meeting Manyou, and unlike Naruko, she is tasked with spreading a good image.
After all, the image is well shaped, and many words are said to be easier for people to accept.
And like Sakura, she just wants to draw some comics, and she doesn't have the idea of transitioning from a literary girl to an idol girl, so naturally she doesn't need to let her friends know her identity.
Otherwise, there will be more than just some "small gifts" in her mailbox.
"Sakura-sensei still hasn't been there? That's a shame. Some book friends sighed, but after the fifty hardcover comics began to be given away, he ran faster than anyone else.
Tsunade, who hadn't left yet, glanced at the figure with a little meaning, and it could be seen that it should have been a ninja in disguise. I didn't expect to read a comic, and I was disguised as a civilian.
And after rushing to get those hardcover versions of the original exteriors, there are some book friends who stay behind and want to ask Naruko about Sakura.
Naruko could only apologize, "I'm really sorry, I don't know much, I'm grateful that everyone has waited so much time here today, but I'm going to see you again." ”
"In addition to writing, I am actually a training teacher in the new training base in Konoha Hidden Village. I hope that if anyone knows something about the technology of the new scientific ninja equipment, they can try to understand it. ”
"After all, a better tomorrow for Konoha is not something that can be achieved by a few people, it requires everyone's efforts!"
