Chapter 20: New Goods have appeared how can we stand still?

She said she still had things to do, but in reality, there was still a little bit lacking.

Filming for the opening sequence hasn’t started yet; she had to wait for the scheduled time.

As for the actor promotion, although she had obtained 50,000 popularity points, even adding the points she had saved up, she was still a little short.

“What will the promotion test be?”

A mission in this world?

Or entering a certain world with another identity to complete a specific mission or something?

“Let’s check the comment section first.”

A qualified idol needs to see the audience’s reaction first.

The Ninja Academy arc, a part of Naruto, was mostly complete.

Her “alterations” in this arc were minimal. For Hanabi, this was truly a failure. Hanabi certainly didn’t intend to follow the script step-by-step for the subsequent developments.

At the very least, Hanabi never liked this nonsensical ninja world to begin with. Everything here was very twisted.

Before preparing for the subsequent plot, she needed to see the audience’s feedback.

However, as soon as she entered, Hanabi saw a hot thread.

[Translator come in for a beating]

Hanabi found it interesting, so she clicked on it.

Only then did Hanabi realize that the production team had already started releasing character information. It seemed they were preparing for the “Standard Series Version” with OP/ED later.

The OP of this thread took Hatake Kakashi’s name and criticized it.

The person posted Kakashi’s promotional image and specifically screenshot his name.

[“Hatake” (Flag Wood) is actually a mistranslation. The kanji corresponding to his name isn’t ‘Hatake’ (Flag Wood) at all, but ‘Hata’ (Field), which is pronounced ‘Hata’ and means dry field.]

[I don’t know what the heck the translation for Kakashi is either, just translating it phonetically. The Japanese word corresponding to this name should be ‘Kakashi’ (Scarecrow). So a more precise translation of Hatake Kakashi’s name is Field Scarecrow.]

[2nd Floor: If you put it that way, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to translate Uzumaki Naruto as Spiral Maelstrom lol.]

[3rd Floor: Uchiha is also phonetic, by the way.]

[4th Floor: Obscure knowledge, Hyūga Hinata’s “Hinata” is also phonetic (kana) and can also be translated as Hyūga (Sunny Place). For example, the two translation versions of Hinata House (Love Hina) are actually the same place. Mm, that’s right, Hyūga Hinata can actually be translated as Hyūga Hyūga…]

[5th Floor: Dying of laughter, I’m Lisa Lisa then.]

[6th Floor: I want to see Ba-Ye (Lord Eight) roast the new anime; feels like this outrageous translation is material for him.]

[7th Floor: To the floor above, Ba-Ye’s anime roasts are mainly for fun/memes. For this kind of long-running shonen manga, it’s hard for Ba-Ye too.]

Hanabi tilted her head.

Hatake Kakashi’s surname corresponds to “Hata” in Japanese, meaning dry field, while Kakashi means scarecrow.

So, Kakashi’s full name means: A scarecrow in a dry field. In Japanese, it implies unspeakable loneliness and unknown suffering.

In a sense, Hatake Kakashi’s name itself is a spoiler for Kakashi’s story.

Similar mistranslations and pun jokes are actually very common in the Naruto world. Even Naruto’s name is a pun/meme, and even “Obito” is a similar pun joke.

Hanabi didn’t care about these; she cared more about the audience demographic. She wanted to see bullet comments in other languages, but it seemed she couldn’t switch to other regions yet.

“Perhaps I can see them after increasing my Actor Level. I wonder if I can reach it before the Land of Waves arc.”

It depended on the situation of the OP filming later.

Hanabi continued reading the subsequent content.

Another hot thread.

[This bell-snatching plot is simply a perfect interpretation of ‘Killing Three Warriors with Two Peaches’ (Er Tao Sha San Shi).]

This OP didn’t write a long essay but just posted a title, and people were roasting in the comments.

[2nd Floor: Killing Three Warriors with Two Peaches ended with all of them dead. Here, they passed the test smoothly. OP, don’t joke around too much.]

[OP: Killing Three Warriors with Two Peaches ended with all of them dead, that’s correct, but you have to understand the background of the story. In the story, Yanzi made three people fight over two peaches to divide the families these three belonged to. But in reality, after the three died, it led to the three families distrusting the monarch, causing them to unite against him instead. So this was an open scheme (Yangmou) that seemed very successful at the time but actually failed.]

[4th Floor: Kakashi gave two bells but made Team 7 unite to advance and retreat together. The effect is the same, but does this count as a positive application?]

[5th Floor: I understand this. Three wage-s*ave friends turned against each other because of two promotion quotas. One felt guilty after seeing his brother lose out and resigned. Another also felt he was wrong and resigned. The last one felt he ruined everything, so he also resigned.]

[6th Floor: In that case, Miss Hanabi making the two suffer first, and then uniting them herself, what classic reference is this?]

The netizens’ chat was quite interesting.

Hanabi continued reading. Many people discussed the upcoming content of the standard series version.

“Hmm, character introduction thread?”

Although most were netizen threads, official hot threads were also present. That screenshot of Kakashi earlier came from here.

At the very top was naturally the character introduction for Uzumaki Naruto.

[Uzumaki Naruto. Konoha Genin. A boy with the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed inside him. The Number One Unpredictable Ninja. Goal is to surpass all Hokages.]

[Uchiha Sasuke. Konoha Genin. A boy of the Uchiha clan. An honor student ranked first in overall grades. Shoulders an unknown darkness.]

And after the two protagonists, the third person was actually her.

[Hanabi Hyūga. Konoha Genin. The younger sister of the Hyūga twins. A genius who “lost” her Byakugan. Known for being skilled in “Genjutsu.”]

Hanabi’s image was exactly how she looked in the first episode wearing the kimono and holding the red umbrella, except the kimono on Hanabi had been changed to the upgraded one with fireworks patterns, not the style from the first episode.

“Quotation marks were put on ‘lost’? The second half of the sentence also has quotation marks? Isn’t this a spoiler?”

Hanabi tilted her head.

Fortunately, this was just an introduction and didn’t leak her secret of being skilled in Fire Style, Ice Style, and Swordsmanship.

Hanabi checked; although some people in the replies found it strange, it didn’t spark a discussion.

“Since they didn’t notice, then I’ll give them a surprise later.”

After successfully entering Team 7, Hanabi was already a member of the “Protagonist Trio,” even appearing in official promotions.

“However, this official promotion also seems to vaguely treat me as one of the three protagonists. But my positioning in the plot is clearly a Secondary Supporting Character, right?”

If someone investigated carefully, they would find that Hanabi’s screen time was actually very little.

Most of the screen time came from Hanabi using Camera Cards herself or forcefully leeching scenes. A small portion seemed to be the series retaining some dramatic and highlight moments, but overall, it was relatively little.

【The Dimensional Popularity Stage is responsible for script filming. In non-protagonist cases, promotional activities are outsourced to locals.】

【After reaching a certain level, you can plan promotional strategies using Popularity Points, or obtain related rewards through the Popularity Shop or lottery.】

The Dimensional Popularity Stage thoughtfully gave the answer.

“This is truly interesting.”

Hanabi pondered.

She was a supporting character, true, but the audience didn’t know that!

Perhaps she could play something bigger, molding herself into the true protagonist of a hidden storyline or something?

“Oh my, the Popularity Shop can be refreshed. It’s actually manual.”

The Popularity Shop Hanabi had bought out earlier refreshed.

After Hanabi clicked refresh, three items appeared before her.
