Be the Main God from Naruto - Chapter 33

Due to a sentiment left deep within Hinata’s consciousness, it took only a blink for Wang Yan to appear before her upon hearing her call.

“The new future…”

Wang Yan’s gaze seemed to fall on Hinata, yet also into the void.

He pierced through the layers of mist and saw countless possibilities for Hinata’s future.

The timeline he favored had thickened, indicating an increased probability of occurring. It was evident that during this period, Hinata had affirmed her inner beliefs and thoughts, finding a pursuit truly her own.

When her fate would be entirely rewritten, Wang Yan’s resource points would increase accordingly.

“Um…”

Hinata’s index fingers touched each other as she muttered, “I… I’ve encountered a difficulty.”

“Let’s hear it.”

Wang Yan did not rush her, simply waiting quietly for her to continue.

With her introverted nature, Hinata was not well-suited to be a ninja, resembling a housebound woman.

After some conversation, Hinata finally managed to clarify the whole matter.

“I see,” Wang Yan nodded slightly.

It wasn’t anything serious. With the Sannin soon to return, the Hidden Leaf Village was in turmoil, and low-rank ninjas like Hinata were almost all required to stay home on standby, awaiting the Hokage’s wartime summons.

The reserved Hinata decided to stay home and pursue her newly developed dream—creating manga!
As a beginner, her artistic skills and fundamentals were much stronger than Wang Yan had anticipated. She intricately illustrated both backgrounds and characters.

However, the initial draft she labored over and sent to the publishers was outright rejected.

“I… I don’t know what to do next. It seems I have no talent.”

Confusion was written all over Hinata’s face.

She was the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, but since her sister Hanabi was born, she had become a disposable member of the family.

Her cousin Neji, being from the branch family and harboring hatred towards all members of the main house, was certainly not going to console or help her.

At this time, Hinata could only seek the aid of Wang Yan, the “Ancestor.”

“When in doubt, consult the Ancestor. Good child, you did right.”

Wang Yan’s tone was gentle as he patted Hinata’s head, “Let me see the story you’ve created.”

“Ah?”

Hinata blinked adorably, somewhat at a loss.

This was her dreamscape; how could she present her drawings to the Ancestor here?

Before she could figure it out, Wang Yan had already concluded.

“I’ve seen your work.”

After accessing Hinata’s memories, Wang Yan smacked his lips and commented, “The story is good, with a deep literary foundation. However, this is exactly where your fault lies!”

Hinata was stunned.

Was that a fault?

Could people with less reading experience be better suited to be manga artists?

“Your story is too esoteric and convoluted, inaccessible to others. Even if someone understands it, it requires too much effort, exhausting the reader.”

Wang Yan looked at her with a half-smile, “A story that is popular and easy to understand is a good story.”

“What does ‘esoteric and convoluted’ mean?” Hinata earnestly asked for guidance.

“Some creators think they are highly talented, so they intentionally flaunt their literary flair, making their stories difficult to understand with excessive twists and turns. That’s roughly what it means.”

After receiving Wang Yan’s explanation, Hinata’s pure white eyes without pupils flickered slightly.

“A story that the readers enjoy is a good story. I understand now. Thank you, Ancestor!”

A sweet smile appeared on Hinata’s face.

“Well then, I’m off.”

With a thought, Wang Yan vanished from her dreamscape.

…

In the Land of Wind, the Hidden Sand Village.

Wang Yan slowly opened his eyes, his lips twitching slightly.

Before leaving, he had taken another look at Hinata, seeing something he shouldn’t have.

“What is this girl thinking? How did she come up with the idea to write such a story?”

Hinata’s debut was a very serious literary piece written in a refreshing style with considerable story value. Why did her style suddenly change with her second book?

“Wait… she hasn’t taken her new friends as her audience, has she? I wonder what Sakura and Ino have taught her…”

Wang Yan did not delve deeply into Hinata’s other memories.

As a master of the mind, manipulating, altering, deleting, and distorting others’ memories was easy, but reading memories could easily alter his personality.

Especially for someone as young as Wang Yan, who hadn’t even lived a century, his life experience was limited. Reading too many memories from others could lead to adverse effects.

Thus, Wang Yan generally

Only read surface thoughts.

That last glance revealed that Hinata’s idea for a new manga was about a forbidden love between two girls.

“No matter, it’s a trivial matter.”

“Attraction to the opposite sex is merely for reproduction; true love exists between the same sex. What’s wrong with a girl liking another girl? It’s perfectly normal…”

Wang Yan shook his head, reassuring himself.

“Time to check; Gaara and my love Rasa still have two days left in ‘Shadow Break the Sky.’ Let’s give Naruto and the others a break for the next two days.”

After a moment of reflection, Wang Yan’s mental energy instantly enveloped the entire Hidden Sand Village, issuing a short-term directive to all villagers’ subconscious to ignore any anomalies in the village.

With both the Jinchuriki and the Kazekage missing, without preparation, unrest was likely to follow.

Forethought is a good habit.

…

Hyuga Hiashi has been incredibly busy lately.

First, the sudden exposure of Naruto Uzumaki’s real identity and the high command of the Hokage’s lineage offered no response.

Their behavior forced people to ponder deeply—could this be a trap?

As the current head of Konoha’s foremost clan, he made every decision like walking on thin ice.

How prominent was the Uchiha clan back in the day? How untouchable? Yet later, they perished, leaving only a rogue ninja and a teenage orphan.

Hiashi did not want to follow in the Uchiha’s footsteps.

But every time he indirectly inquired about this matter with the higher-ups of Konoha, those older men and women acted as if they couldn’t hear him, all pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane—had these elite ninjas, who once dominated the battlefield, all suddenly developed dementia simultaneously?

Hiashi found this joke a bit cold.

As for someone using an illusion technique similar to that of the ancient Bij? to hypnotize them all at once, he was even less convinced.

“No one can do this.”

Hiashi reassured his convictions, murmuring himself: “It must be their conspiracy!”

It wasn’t Hiashi’s fault for being paranoid; after all, the higher-ups of Konoha had a long history of using dirty tricks, and their credibility had long been bankrupt.

“The Sannin are about to return. Whose side will they take?”

Hiashi knew the entire clan was on the brink of survival or destruction. One wrong move could lead to destruction!
