He felt that there might be something very unusual behind the twists and turns, so he didn't ask about the details.
I'm afraid this is a fatal problem.
Minato Namikaze's vigilance and emotional intelligence are really a bit scary.
If Xiaonan had been asked further, he would really like to say a few more words, what a pity.
At this time, Jiraiya began to brag to everyone that his new book was selling very well.
“Minato, you don’t know, there are still many people in this village who like to read my books.
It's a pity that I ran into Xiaonan when I was looking for readers, otherwise I would have had a drink with him and seen how much he admired me as an author. "
"I knew that your work, Jiraiya-sensei, would be appreciated by the world. I like this Genshin Ninja Biography very much."
This time, Minato Namikaze said that it was very normal and the work written by the teacher was very good.
Jiraiya laughed heartily upon hearing his disciples' sincere praise. He felt that he could finally hold his head high in front of these people and proudly say that he was a great author.
Kushina's face was full of surprise. Although Minato liked the novel very much, she found it very boring.
That idiot Minato even said that if we have a child in the future, if it's a boy, we should name him after the protagonist of the teacher's novel.
She really doesn't want her children to suffer so much.
Speaking of novels, Xiaonan took out two books from his arms.
"Teacher Jiraiya, this is a book written by a travel writer from our Rain Country. You can correct it.
See if there is anything he can improve on, and he wants to be a great author like you.”
This is a book that Noah wrote specifically to attack the root ninjas, and also to tell Jiraiya that heroes are not so fake.
Youth, perseverance, slogans, are all a beautiful fantasy.
The protagonist of this book is the complete opposite of the hero from that guy called Naruto.
The protagonist is already a middle-aged man when he appears, with an identity background that is both noble and humble. He has experienced betrayal, suffering, and a past that is too painful to look back on.
He was a vulgar and rude person with a burning desire for revenge and jealousy. In the end, he was a truly ordinary person who died like a hero.
This is a true, tragic story.
"Gadfly"
Chapter 23: Hitting Jiraiya's Heart
At night, Noah finished reading the entire book of Genshin Ninja in the hotel.
As expected, you can see the end after watching the beginning.
The emotions in it are still very rich, as if it has said everything he wants to do.
A young boy gradually grows up in the face of difficult adversity through his unyielding belief, and gains the bond of everyone to become a hero who changes the world.
Some of the words are very exciting, such as the eternal pursuit of handsomeness and never giving up in the face of an enemy that is too powerful to be defeated.
The writing style is really not bad. If it were not, he would not have been able to write the hit Intimate Paradise series later on.
The reason for the poor sales is the lack of sense of immersion. Most of the people who have money to buy books are those who have experienced the beatings of society.
We have all experienced the fact that we have worked hard and persevered but still failed, so we will instinctively feel uncomfortable when seeing this kind of chicken soup-based novel.
However, if you meet someone with the same emotional attributes, there will be a strong emotional resonance.
Both Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki were deeply impressed by this book.
Might Guy and Rock Lee also tend to go this way, but their inner determination does not require such encouragement.
Jiraiya's inner thoughts are basically revealed in the book, which is childish and ridiculous, but also worthy of admiration.
It is really amazing to still keep a pure heart in such a world.
However, its weakness is also exposed, as it is largely influenced by the prophecy of the Child of Destiny, which leads to the failure to see the efforts of adults.
Basically, they all change the world from the perspective of a teenager, whether they feel despair about the adult world, or hope that the child of destiny can bring a miracle.
The awareness of a strong man is inexplicably a little distorted, but one can still see some of his heroic spirit.
"The more heroes like this, the more stubborn they are. I hope I can have a chance."
Noah, who has finished reading Genshin Ninja Legend, has gone to bed. Although the book is very thick, there is not much worth savoring.
I have always been very sad.
During the day, after taking the book called "The Gadfly" from Xiaonan's hand, he glanced at it casually and threw it aside.
He really didn't like this strange development of the story.
A young man named Arthur seems to want to help farmers and a country live better, and he likes this cause very much.
But when the conversation between the priest and the young man began, the story seemed to have slipped into a very strange situation.
The first word I dislike is religion and priest.
There are also religions in the Ninja Continent, and the routines are almost the same as in this book.
There are many small countries like the Ghost Country where politics and religion are integrated, and the people there seem to be a bunch of superstitious people. The people in such countries are also muddle-headed.
The Fire Nation also has a Fire Temple and helps people solve their problems, but it is suppressed in the big country and is not very conspicuous.
In Jiraiya's opinion, being ruled by such things would make people's minds very rigid. This young man named Arthur believed in religion and tried to break the rules.
It's so awkward that it makes people feel uncomfortable.
The second word that made him put the book down was jealousy.
Jiraiya felt disgusted because of the emergence of jealousy. Since it was for a noble cause, how could he be jealous? He was worried that his rival would take away his beloved girl just because he had excellent abilities.
Love is beautiful, career is beautiful, and this young man is desecrating these two beautiful things.
In his eyes, great things are doomed to die, and if they survive they can just keep going forward with perseverance.
There will always be unbreakable bonds that will pull you forward.
So he just read the beginning of the book and gave up, as it didn't seem to have much appeal.
It is completely different from the Genshin Ninden, as if the author wrote it specifically for himself.
But I couldn't sleep at night, and I kept thinking about the story over and over again.
It seems that ordinary people are like this... greedy, jealous, and cowardly.
The adolescent fantasy about women, the possessiveness of vague love, the desire to confide in close people...
But without unswerving determination and awareness of life and death, how can such a person fulfill his ideals and realize his vision of making the country a better place?
Moreover, as a ninja, he understood that since this matter needed to be kept confidential, telling the secret to others would eventually lead to disaster.
It seems that the priests themselves are together with the existing state.
"Well... let's take a closer look. After all, this is a work by an author recommended by Konan."
Finding a reason that was not a reason, Jiraiya stood up and turned on the light in the room.
Well... As expected, the subsequent developments got worse.
The priest betrayed the trust of the young people and informed on them, which led to the arrest of a group of young people with dreams.
The young man who was released from prison discovered that the priest had an affair with his mother and that he was actually the priest's son.
The shattered faith caused the young man to fake his own death and escape.
Jiraiya fell silent after reading this paragraph. The author destroyed everything of this young man in a brutal way.
Moreover, cheating... this dark side word also appears in the novel, which is really unscrupulous. Such a background is despised and despised in the Ninja Continent, which is beyond description.
Family affection, love, and trust are all shattered like a broken cross.
What would you do if it was your own Naruto?
Believe in your own beliefs and never give in even if you are knocked down countless times. Then gain everyone's recognition by rescuing everyone from prison.
Even if you encounter misunderstandings, you will use your own way to solve these mysteries and gain great strength from them.
Finally, he changed the country with himself as the center, so that his biological father could understand and face up to it.
He said cool words like "It is my belief to change this country", and his beloved woman would marry him because of his courage.
...This...this is unreasonable.
There are no ninjutsu in that world, and no bodies that will not fall...but there seems to be no difference between that pistol and ninjutsu.
Jiraiya felt extremely annoyed after reading this. What on earth is this book talking about?
Why can't the protagonist rely on his own determination and perseverance to do what he wants to do, and why do so many human evils appear.
Why are the twists and turns encountered by lofty ideals so painful? This...
Jiraiya felt even more pain as he continued to watch. The pain he felt after being brought into it was like a thorn in his heart.
More than a decade later, the middle-aged man returned to his homeland with a vengeful spirit. During his escape, he suffered inhumane torture, and his dignity and soul were trampled on countless times.
Seeing this, Jiraiya almost felt suffocated.
It seems that after experiencing all this, Arthur, who is now middle-aged, returns to his homeland with an even greater ideal of continuing to change the country.
Even though he still tortured the heart of his blood father who had been promoted to bishop with a vengeful heart, venting his hatred in this way, he was also torturing himself.
Seeing this process, Jiraiya suddenly shed tears, which is understandable. The deeper the love, the deeper the hurt.
Even the love story of his return was not that attractive. The man who claimed to be an immortal only felt his eyes sore when he saw the woman who had once been married opening up her past scars.
When he was finally captured, weighed, and put himself and the gods on the scale, even one of the strongest men couldn't control his heartbeat.
Especially when the climax scene of signing the execution order was played, Jiraiya was completely immersed in it.
Chapter 24: Konoha Village is too tempting
He sacrificed his son to save the public from bloodshed, but the grace of the father and son is not worthy of the church and its followers...
The bishop's final words, which almost betrayed God, were a tragic ending.
The excitement of humanity interspersed among the great ideals was so wonderful that Jiraiya fell into deep thought after reading it.
It seems that there are many things I don’t understand. How about... take another look.
So he continued to read it again without leaving his house.
"It's also about dedicating oneself and fighting for a great cause."
"In the novels written by Jiraiya, the protagonist actually has a hint of divinity. Not only Naruto has divinity, but even the other companions have a hint of inhumanity. In the end, everyone completes the story as human beings and reaps everything they should."
"It's very much in Jiraiya's style, and it's also a good novel."
"The protagonist in The Gadfly is human throughout, never shying away from the dark side of humanity, and ends up with a more tragic reality. This is the difference between the two books."
"Fantasy, reality. Youth, middle age. Success, sacrifice. Bond, betrayal. Light, darkness."
"Two people, two paths."
"The impact of such works on him will be a thousand times stronger than on others. I'm afraid he won't be able to get over it in a short time."
Noah was explaining to Konan why he wanted to send a book to Jiraiya.
It's not really a conspiracy, but this guy is worth a little more thought.
Good people should be rewarded, and Noah admires Jiraiya very much.
From the beginning to the end, they are all heroes who are not particular about details, they value feelings and have intelligence. If you can develop a relationship with them, you need to lay the groundwork early. The earlier you get in touch with such people, the easier it is.
Just like Orochimaru, if he were a perverted snake uncle more than ten years later, it would be difficult to deal with him. Princess Orochimaru's lack of humanity is difficult to be shaken by others.
Now Jiraiya is not yet a super veteran who has been in the outside world for more than ten years, so there are still some opportunities to win him over.
"There's no need to actively recommend me as an author to Jiraiya. He will come to me on his own."
"Next, seriously participate in the Yondaime's succession ceremony, and don't get close to Minato Namikaze. His intuition and vigilance are much higher than Jiraiya's."
"By the way, don't forget to bring some gifts for your friends."
