In the scorching summer heat, Hayashi Sora, a new content creator in the anime section of Bilibili, wasn't feeling very spirited. The reason was simple: his previous video had flopped.
For newcomers, it's normal to have poor-performing videos.
However, Hayashi Sora was reluctant to accept this failure. He had researched extensively for that video and was confident it would be a hit and attract many fans.
Sadly, reality gave him a harsh lesson.
"In this society, success isn't guaranteed just by hard work."
"But without hard work, you definitely won't succeed."
Shaking his head, Hayashi Sora forced himself to cheer up and went to the kitchen.
He opened the refrigerator, took out a can of Coke, poured it into a glass, and added two slices of lemon.
Gulp, gulp, gulp~
How wonderful it is to enjoy a glass of Coke in the hot summer.
After quickly rinsing the glass, Hayashi Sora sat back in front of his computer.
"I need to face reality. First of all, I have to make sure I don't starve."
Browsing through Bilibili, Hayashi Sora noticed that various compilation videos in the anime section were getting a lot of views.
After some thought, he decided to try making similar videos.
"Let's start with the anime I'm most familiar with, Naruto."
He spent several hours gathering information, writing the script, recording the voiceover, editing the video, and finally uploading it to the site.
As the sun began to set, Hayashi Sora felt his stomach rumbling. Since he hadn't bought any groceries, he decided to go out for dinner.
"I hope this video surprises me."
The video was still uploading. Hayashi Sora left his computer on as he walked out of the room, not noticing the screen flickering several times.

[Release time: Konoha Year 1517]
[Drop target: Senju Tobirama]
In the seventeenth year of Konoha, in the Hokage office, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, stretched lazily after a long day.
This was during the First Ninja World War.
In the early stages of the war, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had personally gone to the front lines to stabilize the situation and fulfill his duty to protect Konoha.
It has been over two years since the war began.
Konoha has a unique advantage with its prime location, comfortable weather, and abundant resources, making it the most prosperous village in the entire ninja world.
Because of this, the longer the conflict with Kumogakure continues, the more advantageous it becomes for Konoha.
"Based on the current situation, Kumogakure probably can't hold out much longer."
Senju Tobirama was confident of their victory in the war.
Even though Konoha had lost his brother, the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, Tobirama believed that as long as he was there, the Hidden Cloud Village (Kumogakure) would not be able to outmaneuver them.
After over two years of conflict, the Hidden Cloud Village was exhausted.
He was convinced that it wouldn't be long before Kumogakure sent envoys to negotiate peace.
When that happened, it would be time for Konoha to reap the rewards of their efforts.
Thinking of this, Senju Tobirama smiled confidently and walked away.
But just as he was two steps away from his desk, a rectangular light screen suddenly appeared on it, surprising Tobirama.
"Shua~"
Before Tobirama could react, the four Anbu ninjas tasked with protecting him appeared around him in an instant, staring intently at the light screen.
"Don't be alarmed. I don't believe any enemy can do anything right under my nose."
Tobirama was very confident about this.
Not even his elder brother or Uchiha Madara could pull off something like this right in front of him.
The sudden appearance of the light screen didn't scare him; instead, it piqued his interest.
Standing still, Senju Tobirama carefully examined the light screen. After a while, it began to change.
A slightly humorous tune started playing, followed by a male voice.
[Hi, hi, hello everyone, I am the new Anime Content Creator, Hayashi Sora. ]
[Since the data from the previous video wasn't great, I decided to follow the trend and start making review videos.]
[Since this is a review video, I'll start with the one I know best, "Naruto".]
[So in the first episode, let's talk about the First Hokage of Konoha Village, the God of Shinobi, Uchiha Madara's best friend, and the reincarnation of Ashura Chakra, and User of Wood Style: Senju Hashirama. ]
The transmission from the light curtain was slow, and some of Senju Tobirama's words were hard to grasp.
However, upon hearing Hashirama Senju's introduction, he instinctively dismissed the Anbu surrounding him.
"You four, guard the door of this room. Let no one in."
"Yes."
Once the four had left, Senju Tobirama pondered over the message on the light curtain.
He didn't quite understand the review video and such, but the word "Naruto" stood out clearly.
"So, this person is familiar with the Hokage of our Konoha Village?"
Senju Tobirama sensed something amiss, unable to pinpoint what it was.
And why did this person have so many titles for his elder brother?
He knew of the First Hokage and the God of Shinobi, acknowledging them.
But what about those titles that followed?
Uchiha Madara, does he truly deserve to be in the title?
"Wood Style" is still a Kekkei Genkai; can it warrant a title?
Perhaps it can.
As for the latest reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, Tobirama Senju truly had no clue about it.
Ashura?
Who is he?
Is my brother the reincarnation of this Ashura?
Senju Tobirama's mind raced with questions, but the video continued, leaving him no room to dwell. He forced himself to jot down the information, planning to analyze it later.
[During the Warring States Period, various "Superhuman" clans were mercenaries without a formal organization. Divided into many factions, old grudges festered and new enmities arose among the tribes.]
[However, these "Superhuman" who moved mountains, manipulated the elements, and excelled in stealth had adopted a humble moniker for themselves: Ninja.]
[Tsk, you guys are so powerful; why constrain yourselves so?]
Is this what ninja truly signifies?
Senju Tobirama raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat affronted.
[During those times, ninjas concealed their clan surnames for survival, with the average lifespan in their world barely reaching thirty years.]
[The ones bringing down the average were the armored children.]
[In times of war, the Senju, Uchiha, and other clans were renowned battlefield experts often hired by various factions.]
[In tough times, clever children often found solace in skipping stones along the river.]
[However, the average children often perished.]
[And so, our extraordinary child, Hashirama Senju, came to know Uchiha Madara guided by the red thread of skipping stones.]
"Did my elder brother really meet Madara under such circumstances?"
Tobirama Senju pondered this, realizing it was indeed the case.
But why did the words from the person in the hologram feel so nonchalant?
Well, uncertain, let's wait and see.
