Chapter 318. It's Really Not Easy For Them
---
Peaceful days passed by little by little.
Today was the Winter Festival.
It was also the day that Root Studio's new movie premiered.
So naturally, the village was extrely lively.
After all, everyone was very curious about what the newly restructured Root Studio's movie would be like...
Everyone was looking forward to it!
Over the past few months—
Iwagakure had also sent people to negotiate network coverage. Apparently, all compensations between the villages had been settled, and Iwagakure had once again suffered a massive financial bleed.
After experiencing the largest pyramid sche in Ninja World history, plus this latest round of reparations, the Land of Earth's economy still hadn't fully recovered. So, they were desperately seeking new avenues for developnt.
However—
Not long ago, when they cheerfully went to the Land of Fire to propose a partnership, they were kicked out. And now...
They thought Iwagakure could just team up whenever they felt like it?
So—
Yuto flat-out rejected them. Coverage was fine, but this ti, Iwagakure had to pay!
That pissed Iwagakure off.
"Everyone else is getting it for free, but we have to pay? Dream on!"
It's said that a few old hardliners over there even shouted about starting another war, just so this businessman could witness the might of Iwagakure.
And yet—
Not long after...
Iwagakure still agreed to Yuto Group's terms and even signed the contract under the witness of the Fourth Hokage.
Looks like—
This ti... Iwagakure really suffered big losses~
So they didn't dare to start a war recklessly again and could only choose to compromise.
Of course—
That was their own fault.
As for the originally scheduled square dance competition before the Winter Festival, it was postponed to next spring, with a newly chosen the—
[The Revival of Spring!]
What was initially expected to be a small internal competition unexpectedly beca more and more formal—now people could even sign up online.
It's just that...
The response was kind of average~
Yuto, holding the tickets, brought Suzune and the others into the cinema and found their seats.
"It looks like Root Studio isn't making a romance film this ti," Suzune frowned slightly while looking at the synopsis on the ticket. "And the screenwriter this ti isn't Mitokado-sama either—it's Danzo-sama himself!"
Honestly—
That was a bit shocking!
"It seems like Danzo-sama must've gone through a lot when he went out to start a business~"
"..."
No, he just did sothing shaful.
Of course—
Yuto didn't say that. After all, technically speaking, he should be grateful to Danzo for taking the fall for him!
And the fact that Iwagakure was so quick to compromise was also thanks to the serious losses Danzo brought to the Land of Earth. Otherwise, with those stubborn old n... the Yuto Group probably wouldn't even get a response!
anwhile, Hyuga Hanabi... no matter how many tis she thought about it, still found a million things to complain about!
The fact that Root had switched to making movies was shocking enough.
And now the screenwriter was Danzo, of all people? Even more shocking.
Just thinking about those first two so-called Konoha romance films she watched... still gave her a stomachache!
If the Sixth Hokage and Yamato-sama saw this, they'd definitely be totally confused!
Root... got redeed and started making movies?!
Who would believe that without seeing it for themselves?
"I don't know what it will be like this ti!"
Soon—
The big screen lit up.
Then—
The two glowing words [Root Studio] popped up like an ad.
Even Yuto couldn't help but sigh, "It's really getting more and more official~"
In the future, there was definitely a place for Root Studio in the film industry!
Following that—
The golden title [Konoha Partners] flashed onto the screen with a dun sound, and the movie officially began. Everyone turned to watch.
Right from the start—
The image of the Third Hokage dressed in his ceremonial fla cloak imdiately grabbed everyone's attention.
However—
Not long after—
The Third Hokage had to voluntarily step down to clear his na after being suspected by the Daimyo's court of embezzling public funds. Following that... the Third Hokage's trusted aide, the Konoha advisor Mitokado Homura, was also investigated for corruption and bribery and was forced to resign from the advisory position.
Everyone was slightly shocked.
They didn't expect Root Studio to actually dare film this part?!
So even began wondering, [Could this really be a biopic about the foundational journey of Root Studio?]
Their curiosity about the upcoming story only grew.
Truth be told—
Based on how it started, this new movie by Root Studio was already a success—it deeply stirred everyone's curiosity.
Even Yuto was watching attentively and couldn't help but sigh, [After experiencing pyramid sches, Danzo really got good at reading people's minds~]
Next up—
Danzo, the leader of Root, approached the two n who had beco lost and disoriented after being forced out of their positions.
One was the Third Hokage, who, after stepping down, spent his days dancing square dance with his wife, had his money tightly controlled by her, and wasn't even allowed to use the internet. The other, the forr Hokage advisor, had it even worse... Misunderstood as corrupt and bribed, he lost his sense of purpose and lived in silence, doing nothing all day.
At first—
When Danzo reached out to them, they refused. But in the end, after being moved by Danzo's emotionally charged speech, they reignited their dreams and agreed to work with him to create a new career in the Ninja World!
The movie was packed with subtle jabs—it was hard to even know where to begin complaining.
After that—
They fild their first movie, and many things happened during the process—for example, no one knew how to use the equipnt, there were barely any qualified people, and to get the movie released... they had to endure loads of humiliation and were looked down on by those in the industry.
Yuto's eyelid twitched watching this. Back when Sarutobi Hiruzen brought that new movie over, he had welcod it with great enthusiasm!
And now they slandered him in the film like this?
Soon after—
The first movie beca a hit, boosting their confidence. They increased their investnt and started shooting the second movie. To ensure quality, they borrowed money wherever they could. But in the end—just like in real life—
The new movie flopped!
Creditors ca knocking, and cracks started forming between the trio. Argunts, bickering, insults flew nonstop. Eventually, Danzo, unable to bear the atmosphere, left the village. Homura returned to his clan, no longer stepping outside. And Sarutobi Hiruzen... started working hard to repay their debts.
It was heart-wrenching to hear, painful to watch!
The whole movie was well-paced. From the three uniting with a common goal, pushing forward through wind and rain, mocked by others, to the big success of their first film, the crash of their second, and finally the collapse of Root Studio. Not a single dull mont. Even the sad background music was done perfectly.
Especially the scenes of the Third Hokage delivering takeout, doing background extra work, and bragging during it—deeply relatable, even made people cry.
But—
Other people might not know, but Hyuga Suzune, secretary of the Yuto Group, and the ti traveler Hyuga Hanabi definitely did.
Why are you two wiping tears?
That guy never had it that bad in real life!
In the final scene—
The Third Hokage is eating fast food by the roadside when he sees Danzo returning in a luxury car. That mont... their eyes et with deep emotion, drawing the attention of many in the movie hall.
What a touching bond~
The three rebuild Root Studio, and after rising from the ashes, the studio flourishes once again.
The End.
The audience stood and applauded.
"It's really not easy for them!"
"..."
In the whole movie hall, only Yuto—
He didn't even know where to begin roasting it!
But—
It seed like Root Studio had really regained its footing this ti.
