"???"
When Eaton heard what Aoba said, he was dumbfounded and could not believe his ears.
"You..."
"You mean..."
"The story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School..."
"Sign to..."
"Uchiha Fugaku?!"
It was as if Eaton had encountered a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. As he spoke, the corners of his mouth kept trembling, and he was completely dumbfounded.
'What kind of ability did this Uchiha Fugaku have?'
'Was it because he gave him a book?'
'There was an Uchiha Fugaku's signature on the book.'
'And the content of this book belonged to Uchiha Fugaku?'
'He…'
'Was he worthy!'
"Sigh..."
Eaton let out a long sigh. He felt that his heart had become even more irritated. This kind of thing made it difficult for him, a reader, to accept. He already did not know what Aoba's mood would be like.
Thinking of this, Eaton raised his right hand. He wanted to gently pat Aoba on the shoulder and try to comfort him. But… He just raised his hand into the air, then he stopped.
"Aoba, what do you think about this matter?" Eaton's face was full of bitterness. Now he felt that his whole body was not feeling good. He was completely in a very sullen state. His head was particularly heavy. He felt that the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School had been defiled by Fugaku.
"Hahahaha, Brother Eaton, don't feel bad. This is just a temporary expedient plan. Just take it as me taking a pen name; the pen name is Uchiha Fugaku." Aoba smiled lightly. He did not take this seriously at all. His mind had already gone to think about other things.
"It can still be like this?!" Eaton's breathing became lacking in rhythm. Originally, he just wanted to warn Aoba not to casually spread the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School. However, he did not expect that in the end, all these things would come back, causing him to suffer a great blow.
"Regardless of whether it is possible or not, we can only do this for now. After all, Danzo-sama has already determined that this book was written by Uchiha Fugaku. It is also because of this that he asked me to find out the latest plot from Fugaku. If I go and tell him now that this book has nothing to do with Fugaku, it is all written by me alone. Isn't that like fooling Danzo-sama? This way, I might be severely punished. Maybe in the future, I won't even be able to write a book. Brother Eaton, won't you have nothing to read?" Aoba said to Eaton patiently and systematically. Through his way of speaking, he finally guided these things to Eaton so that he could feel them from the bottom of his heart.
"Eh..."
Eaton was stunned. The words that Aoba had said earlier. He automatically ignored all of them. Now all he cared about was one sentence "If something happened to Aoba, no one could continue to write the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School". This was something that Eaton did not want to see at all!
"Alright..."
Eaton nodded helplessly. Although he was not the one who wrote the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School, he had watched it grow up. Now that the signature of this work had become Uchiha Fugaku, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Aoba, don't tell me that all your books will be signed, Uchiha Fugaku?"
Eaton suddenly said something that made him particularly worried. After all, the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School was only the beginning. He believed that with Aoba's talent, he could write even more brilliant stories in the future.
"It's not impossible."
Aoba did not think too much about it, but he did not intend to use his own name at the beginning. After all, he would be famous in this way. He did not want to be famous in this way. If it was a title like the "cat-faced demon", he could accept it more or less in his heart.
But if he directly used his name to write a book.
Not too good!
Aoba had previously observed the bookshelf in Eaton's office. There were all kinds of books on it. However, from the signature of those books, it seemed that they were all real names.
This was a little awkward, Aoba did not want to be famous, and he did not want to be famous in such a way. If he were to use the name Uchiha Fugaku as a pen name now.
It was just right!
Aoba felt that there was nothing wrong with this.
"It can't be..."
Eaton took a deep look at Aoba, and the expression on his face became more and more helpless. He thought about how he would see one divine book after another in the future, but the names of the authors were all Uchiha Fugaku. He had a feeling that a fly had fallen on top of a peerless delicacy, and he was in a bad mood.
"Hahahaha, this is a small matter. Brother Eaton, I have one more thing to tell you, and that is the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School. It is about to come to an end, and it won't be long before it is finished. After it is finished, it can be published."
Aoba grinned and said something that was extremely shocking to Eaton. In fact, if he hadn't figured out the problem with the pen name. Then he wouldn't dare to say such a thing.
In the Ninja World, it meant that he could publish it after he finished writing.
According to Eaton's character, once the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School ended, he would definitely find a way to publish this story.
In this way… Eaton could be considered the first person to chase after the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
"What?!"
Eaton felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. The messages that came one after another struck his nerves to a great extent.
He had just been tangled up with the issue of the signature in Teacher Bai of the Ninja School, and now he has learned such a piece of information.
This was a very contradictory message.
As a senior reader of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School. Eaton was looking forward to the next chapter. He also wanted to see the complete version of the Teacher Bai of the Ninja School. But what he meant now was that there was nothing to see after the end.
For a moment, Eaton's mood was extremely complicated. He didn't know if he was happy or not, but something stuck to both sides.
"So fast!"
Eaton's words were full of reluctance. He had not prepared himself for this. Even though he had thousands of words in his heart, he could not say a word.
"Aoba, don't worry. Leave the issue of publishing to me. I will contact the publisher. The story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School will definitely resound in the Ninja World!"
Eaton patted his chest and promised. This was all he could do. There seemed to be no way to change anything else. Although he hoped that the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School could last longer.
But...
As a reader. He also saw it. The story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School was gradually coming to an end.
In fact, Eaton did not know. The story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School had long surpassed what Aoba had seen in the real world. There were also many points of Aoba's original work. He embedded some of the small stories he had seen in it.
But.
That was all. This framework and structure had already been determined, and it was very difficult to add any more.
"Brother Eaton, after I finish writing this Teacher Bai of the Ninja School, I will continue writing. I already have a new idea. It should be called "Binbin, a Teenager From the Ninja School!" As for the specific situation, it will only be known when it is written," Aoba said with a smile. He did not want to cut off the bond between him and Eaton easily. In addition, this bond was not only Eaton; it was very likely that he would be able to grasp Shimura Danzo.
"There's actually a new book?!"
Eaton suddenly widened his eyes. This could be said to be a blessing in all misfortune. Now, as long as there was a story to read, he would be very happy.
"Aoba, when will the new story come out? Do you want to write a little for me to see? Aiya, you have a new story. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
A smile once again appeared on Eaton's face, and he was in an extremely comfortable feeling.
The last time he was so excited. It was the first time he saw the Teacher of the Ninja School. Now just thinking about the new story, he felt very excited.
"What is the idea of this story?" Eaton asked doubtfully. His mind was already filled with the new story, and he did not have the heart to think about anything else.
"Well... probably... a ninja from another village who came to Konohagakure and rented a house to study at the Ninja School. I will not tell you the details. Wait for me to write it out!" Aoba did not like to talk about these things, so it was better to write them out.
"Okay, then you can do it. I will support you with all my strength!" Eaton had already forgotten all about Uchiha Fugaku's signature. This was no longer important as long as there was a book to read.
"Brother Eaton, there is one last thing. I have already promised the Yamanaka clan ninjas to give each of them a chapter of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School story. They can only read one chapter. I feel that it doesn't matter even if it is spread out. I just think that we can promote the book Teacher Bai of the Ninja School in this way." Aoba said seriously.
"This is not too good..." Eaton knew that Aoba had already agreed, but he still couldn't help but say, "When a book manuscript was leaked. This will affect the sales of the books!"
"Brother Eaton, believe me. You can treat this part as a public period. Anyone can see it. As long as the public period is wonderful enough and everyone is looking forward to it, everyone will not be stingy when it comes to the paid period!"
Aoba grinned. The current Ninja World was relatively backward in both ideology and technology.
This was not comparable to modern society.
When Aoba crossed over to the Ninja World, what he had mastered was not only Naruto's plot but also the knowledge of the modern world. This knowledge could help him establish a great advantage in the Ninja World.
"This... alright... Anyway, I have already agreed..."
Eaton did not really approve of Aoba's theory, but he felt that there was no point in arguing with Aoba. After all, the matter had already been confirmed. No matter what he said, he still had to show a part of the manuscript to the Yamanaka clan.
Only...
He didn't know why.
Just now, he felt that these things were more difficult to accept. But after hearing the news of the new story, he no longer cared. This made him feel like he was worried that his wife would be taken by Danzo and the others. Now, he had a new concubine.
"Aoba, you have to promise me that only I can read the new story first. You can't let others see it again." Eaton said with a straight face.
"Yes, don't worry. I won't show it to others."
Aoba nodded and replied. He could already tell that Eaton cared a lot about such things. But it didn't matter. He had already thought it through and could secretly show this story to Danzo.
If he didn't tell Eaton. Danzo definitely wouldn't make a fool of himself. At this time, he was telling Eaton all this because he didn't want to expose Fugaku's matter.
As for other things… He really didn't intend to say anything else.
"Brother Eaton, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have been busy for several days. I am hungry and want to eat ramen." Aoba said to Eaton.
"Go, go, take this book away. Since you are about to finish writing it, you should work harder and write more!" Eaton seemed to be very casual, but he said what he was very concerned about, which was to write more stories about Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
"Understood."
Aoba took the red book that Eaton handed over, turned around, and walked out of the office.
Eaton did not follow Aoba. He had just received a new chapter, and it had been copied. Now that Aoba was gone.
Then used it.
...
After Aoba left Eaton's office, he directly returned to Anbu's dormitory.
In fact, even if Eaton did not go to find him, he would still take the initiative to find Eaton because he had to say hello to Eaton about Fugaku.
As for Fugaku...
Aoba suddenly felt a headache. Right now, he still did not know how to deal with Fugaku's matter. How could he let Fugaku accept this matter?
There was no problem for now, but when this story was published and the pen name was Uchiha Fugaku.
If there wasn't a suitable excuse, then after Fugaku found out about this matter, it was very likely that things would become troublesome.
After Aoba returned to the Anbu dormitory, he changed into casual clothes.
After changing clothes. Aoba's mind suddenly moved and communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula on the tower; he then used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and disappeared.
Aoba appears on the second floor of the tower the next moment. There were blank paper tags that the advanced paper clone had placed there not long ago.
Of course, Aoba was not looking for the blank paper tags this time.
He took out a cloak from a box, folded it, stuffed it into a backpack next to him, and then put the backpack behind him.
After all this was done, Aoba used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) again. What he communicated with was the Flying Thunder God Formula in the Anbu dormitory.
Swish!
Aoba's figure flashed and appeared directly in the Anbu dormitory. If not for the extra backpack behind him. It looked like he did not leave at all.
Aoba completed the process of going from the Anbu dormitory to his tower and then back to Anbu's dormitory from the tower almost in an instant.
After that, Aoba walked out of the Anbu dormitory.
From his appearance, they would not have recognized him as the cat-faced demon if it weren't someone who knew him very well in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division. Instead, he seemed more like an extremely ordinary citizen.
Aoba didn't walk in the direction of Ramen Ichiraku. Instead, he headed toward the east of Konohagakure.
He had never been there before and wasn't very familiar with that area. However, he had read many people's memories. At the very least, he still had a basic understanding of them.
That was the village's foreign trade area.
The village's import and export business was all over there. Anything sold to the outside, what the village bought, everything was opened there.
The Country of Water merchants were there to trade with the fresh seafood that they delivered over, and Aoba had already read this information from the memories of these merchants.
Half an hour later.
Aoba arrived at this area.
He looked like an extremely ordinary passerby, but his attention was on the Country of Water merchant who might be out here.
After a while, Aoba heard some movement. It was the Country of Water merchants that he had released in the afternoon.
"Damn it! That cat-faced demon is really too much! He actually did such a thing to us!"
"I feel so painful! I feel like I have been pierced into a sieve!"
"When did Konohagakure's Konohagakure Intelligence Division become so evil?"
"Those torture props are terrifying just thinking about it now!"
"Stop talking; I have goosebumps. I think I will have nightmares when I think of that cat mask."
"..."
The voices of these Country of Water merchants continued to ring out. Each and every one of them was extremely unhappy. It was obvious that they felt unfair to encounter such treatment. However, there was no other way. They simply did not dare to tell it to the cat-faced demon.
After Aoba heard these people's words, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
'Found it!'
Now that he has found these Country of Water merchants.
Aoba suddenly turned around the corner. The moment he turned around, pieces of paper on his body flew up and down. One by one, the pieces of paper flipped over his body and directly changed him into another appearance.
If the Seven Ninja Swordsman saw Aoba's current appearance, they would definitely cry out in alarm.
This was...
Satsuma Rentaro!
Aoba was now using Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique) and Henge no Jutsu(Transformation Technique) through the paper, causing his appearance to change.
After that, Aoba took out the cloak he had prepared beforehand and directly draped it over his body. He then used the hood on his cloak to cover his face. As a result, his appearance could no longer be seen.
