The barbarians of Kumogakure also said that Liudao was a dark-skinned, super muscular man. Iwagakure also said that the place where they built their village was the place where the immortal founded the Ninja Clan.
Every ninja village has a legend like this. Who wouldn’t want to be related to such a big boss?
Konoha didn't have these because of the two super-powered guys, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, so they didn't have much desire for these legendary bonuses.
It’s just that this is the first time I’ve heard of the name and origin of the Six Paths Sage, and it’s quite interesting.
The Great Toad Immortal is very obscure about such things, and the stories pieced together by novelists like Adam are more attractive.
He felt it was interesting, but the six paths between life and death were helpless.
Chapter 31: Stop and Leave
How many people is that guy going to tell his story to? The name Otsutsuki Hagoromo, which was lost in time, is now being told everywhere by this bastard.
The immortal sighed, it seemed that the little things happening in his family would be known to the whole world sooner or later.
Moreover, the opponent's power is constantly wearing away the Yin-Yang Seal. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take about ten years to completely break it.
That will be a real headache. I hope Asura and Indra can perform better this time.
The ninja world, no, the entire world might be turned upside down by some bastard.
The perspective returns to Konoha.
Jiraiya was listening to Mr. Adam talking about the creation process of this book. After listening to it, he could only sigh that it took a lot of effort to write such a work.
Such profound skills are hidden in the details. It takes so much effort to make up a background. Does my book have any chance?
Jiraiya, who was in distress, still didn't understand what Noah's writing ideas were and what he said he didn't want to do at all.
Even more content is waiting to come.
"Mr. Adam, I would like to ask why the protagonists of the book, these young people, want to overthrow the original country instead of joining it to change the country."
"I see that the priest in the work often talks about many things in the scriptures that encourage people to be good. Wouldn't it be great if we could stick to the original text?"
Jiraiya had another doubt: even if the country was in tatters, wouldn't it be possible to change people's lives by changing the leader and the policies?
Just like the Third Hokage of Konoha was replaced by the Fourth Hokage, as long as Minato leads the village well, the country can still be saved.
"You asked very well Mr. Jiraiya."
Noah became excited when talking about this.
“This is my reasoning about this social process.”
“Maybe I’ve been to too many countries, big and small. I’ve witnessed countless joys and sorrows.
In the end, we discovered that many tragedies were actually caused by this overall environment, but this world has already developed a very good civilization and this shouldn’t be the case.
So I began to think there was something wrong with the current system.”
"what is the problem?"
Jiraiya was a little confused. Although the ninja world had a history of thousands of years, the one country, one village system had only been in place for less than a hundred years.
"If a good leader is replaced, the country or village will be better. But what if a bad leader is replaced, or a leader who becomes corrupt after taking office?"
“Time is the most ruthless force, and many people will change with it.”
"Young people full of vitality will become dull and conservative, and friends who once shared the same ideals will go their separate ways because of changes in their pursuits."
“So the issue is not about changing the leader at the top.”
Jiraiya was a little speechless, which made sense. The troubles that the old man of the third generation did in his later years seemed to prove this point.
The things that happened to Hatake Sakumo and Tsunade really made him forget about his mentor.
"The structure of this world has not changed in the past thousand years. The ninja village system has simply transformed the frequent killings and battles of the chaotic times into large-scale wars every ten years or so."
"Every time there is a world war, a country like our Rain Country will suffer, and countless people will die."
“So I’m envisioning a world situation that breaks that.”
"For example, we can ensure that this society will not experience greater turmoil from the perspective of framework and system, so that all people can become the masters of this country."
"Everyone has enough food to eat and everyone has access to books to read, so that peace can appear here in a more realistic way."
"I'm sorry, maybe it's because of my current physical condition that I unconsciously want to do something."
"Some things are not that simple. I will continue to try in my works. Even if I make mistakes, they can give some hints to those who are dedicated to peace."
This straightforward vision made Jiraiya feel uncomfortable because it was too shallow.
There were no exciting words or positive energy in them, and it was countless times worse than the Will of Fire.
But that kind of simple emotion and pragmatic action carries a burning power, as if the other party is doing something very right.
If it is used to write a novel, wouldn’t it be a bit too much?
"Why would you do such a thing?"
What this question implies is, does an author need to work so hard?
“I am a citizen of the Rain Country, the country that is always shedding tears.
After being away for so many years I thought there was some way I could save my country.
I thought that smaller countries with less war, such as the Frost Kingdom or the Taki Kingdom, would have a solution, but they didn't.
I have also been to the five major countries, in the countryside and towns... To be frank, it is not much different from the Rain Country.
Then maybe peace really isn't something that ninjas can achieve, so they began to look for other ways.
I'm sorry, I said too much and made you laugh."
Jiraiya didn't laugh, but felt sad.
He had no right to laugh at a determined seeker of truth. It turned out that there were still people working for peace.
"I said a lot of irrelevant things even though we were discussing the novel. Let's get back to the novel."
Noah acted as if he had said too much and brought the topic back to the novel.
That’s enough. The author’s identity as a peace-loving person from a small country has been established, and it was enough to give the other party a little shock.
These words will not have much effect during the period when the Fourth Hokage has just come to power, but when Konoha falls into trouble again, there may be new insights.
Noah never thought of bringing Jiraiya into the Akatsuki organization through a few communications, because this was unrealistic.
The other party's psychological defenses and needs are not something that the Akatsuki organization can provide for the time being, not even if Nagato steps in.
After that, the two began to discuss the root nature of ninjutsu.
"The protagonist's perseverance is not a problem, but ordinary people need emotional encouragement."
"It's just that Naruto's growth was too smooth. It doesn't mean that he encountered fewer enemies and difficulties."
"But... he doesn't seem like a normal person. He's a little out of touch with reality."
“If your foundation is a little empty, you can visit the world of ordinary people and see their insights on the relationship between perseverance and success.”
"After all, your book isn't just for ninjas."
"To be honest, if an ordinary person saw what Naruto did... they would probably think he was sick, or a monster."
"People will be afraid of a moral saint."
Jiraiya began to understand what the other party meant. Ninjas would think that what they wrote was nonsense, and ordinary people would also think that it was nonsense.
The sales problem is really a headache.
"I think everyone has something they are good at. Maybe this type of writing is not what you are good at. Why not expand your thinking and write something that everyone likes to read?"
Jiraiya was shaken by Adam's suggestion. In fact, when he was writing the Genshin Ninja Legend, he had the urge to start another work.
However, he still needs to think about it again. If his pen name is exposed, he may be put on the wanted list of traitors by Konoha.
This exchange lasted a long time, and most of it was Jiraiya's time thinking.
When it was time to leave at night, the immortal hesitated for a moment and left without saying anything.
I read about Adam's injuries when we were chatting. It's a miracle that he's still alive.
What he wanted to say was that since he was not dead, there was still a chance. It would be a pity for such an excellent author and peace seeker to die.
You can introduce the other person to someone who is very good at medical ninjutsu, or you can take the opportunity to meet the person you have been thinking about day and night.
But reason told him to observe for a while, so he returned to his shabby house.
I received too much information today, which was a bit overwhelming. I need to calm down.
Noah was very calm. He considered it a success if he could win over Jiraiya within five years.
And he must leave Konoha in three days, otherwise he will be targeted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Late at night, Orochimaru stood in the corner of the house with some curiosity.
"Who are you going to hire to protect you back to the Rain Village?"
Chapter 32 It turns out to be him
During the three days, Jiraiya looked for Noah again.
This time it was about book publishing. Because I had no historical achievements and was not a well-known figure, the booksellers were very cautious when accepting manuscripts.
Generally speaking, books are written by a small circle of people, who then introduce the authors to each other through certain channels.
Jiraiya, by virtue of his superior position in the ninja system, forcefully intervened in the author's group, which of course was also related to his own funding.
For an extraordinary ninja who has killed countless people to go to the bookseller's boss and ask him to publish a book at his own expense is already a huge honor.
If you want to survive in the Land of Fire, it is not a smart idea to offend the head ninja.
The other party just printed out a portion of the Root Ninja Transmissions to test the waters, and the result of the test was the same as what they had evaluated at the beginning, it was indeed not easy to sell.
But at least the relationship has been established, and the bookseller will definitely make money.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to publish their works, as they may not even get to the review stage without connections.
Even if it gets accepted, it may not be printed. What is so-called good writing and good commercial attributes depends on the individual.
However, with Jiraiya's help, the progress is naturally good. Since the book is not printed at my own expense, the bookseller has to read the work first.
"Rogue? A weird name, but it has a strong story and power."
“It is indeed a masterpiece, but it needs to be examined carefully.”
After a quick look, the other party said that it would take some time to study it, and if it was decided to be published, the author would be notified.
For a person who has no ties in Konoha, he has no time to deal with these things, so he asks Jiraiya to help him.
Jiraiya naturally had no problem with this. Although he was wandering around, he still had channels to contact booksellers. Otherwise, how would he have submitted the manuscript of Intimate Paradise in the later stages?
This is the best outcome. With one of the three Konoha ninjas watching over it, at least the process will be accelerated, whether good or bad.
After he stops worrying about the publication of his work, Noah is ready to leave Konoha.
There must be someone in the Rain Village to take charge, and Obito is currently still waiting and watching the Akatsuki organization.
If he sees a flaw, he will sneak in at any time and look for a chance to control Nagato. This time he goes back to find a chance to suppress this bastard for a few years at once.
Besides, the reform of the Rain Country has just begun, and many choices in different directions cannot be made by Yahiko alone.
"Hello, I'm here to entrust you with a mission."
I arrived at the mission commissioning office in Konoha and started filling out the mission information. As for the subsequent background check, I had already taken care of it through connections.
The ninja in charge here was an unknown Chunin who received Noah like an ordinary person.
"Adam, return to the Land of Rain..."
It's a very simple escort mission. Hire a ninja to protect you back to the Rain Country. You may be attacked by enemies on the way.
Normally this kind of mission would be a C-level mission, but considering that the war had just ended and there were wandering ninjas and bandits everywhere, it was rated as a B-level mission, and the new author was willing to pay for it so it was rated as an A-level mission.
The A-level reward is between 150,000 and 1,000,000 taels, and is generally for investigating information of the two countries and protecting important persons.
Noah was very wealthy and gave 200,000 taels directly.
