Chapter 319. The Chuunibyo Boy Begins His Journey Through the Ninja World
---
That year's Winter Festival turned out to be an explosive hit.
Not only did Root Studio's new movie have a successful premiere, but Kumogakure's [Fast & Furious] also received widespread acclaim. Then came releases from Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and several other ninja villages—movie after movie, each thrilling the audience even more than the last.
Moreover, after the massive success of Root Studio's new film, their two earlier movies also regained popularity, sparking nostalgia among many viewers. Of course... back then, in order to pay off his debts, Sarutobi Hiruzen—saddled with a huge burden—had bundled up those two films and sold them to Yuto Cinema. As a result, Root Studio didn't receive any profits from their resurgence.
You could say—
It was a very lively winter.

The film industry was booming at full speed.
Soon—
A new year arrived.
Most regions of the Land of Earth were now covered by the internet, including Iwagakure. However, the general attitude toward Iwagakure netizens online was... not exactly friendly.
After all, starting a war out of nowhere—how could that go over well?
These days...
Whenever something happens in the Ninja World, it spreads instantly through the network to all connected areas.
Even someone like the legendary Uchiha Obito has become much more low-key. One misstep online, and social death is instant!
Not long ago, most people had watched online as Iwagakure started a war that nearly disrupted the very first Ninja Grand Prix. As a result, the public perception of Iwagakure's ninjas took a nosedive.
Reportedly, many Iwagakure players of Ninja World Online were hunted across villages, suffered horrible in-game experiences, and finally rage-quit with a string of curses.
You could say—
Iwagakure had joined the online world.
But the result wasn't what they had imagined. It might've been better off not joining at all!
Of course—
After that war, the Third Tsuchikage understood that if they wanted to catch up with the other major ninja villages, joining the internet era was a must.
However—
Due to the failure in that war, and compounded by a previous MLM scandal in the Land of Earth, the Daimyo's court held considerable grievances toward Iwagakure. Unfortunately... there weren't many outstanding talents among the younger generation, so the old man still couldn't retire in peace.
Even though Kitsuchi was his son, if he were to become the Fourth Tsuchikage now, not only did he lack sufficient strength, but his popularity was far too low. Pushing him up would likely cause strong opposition from the village elders, and Iwagakure would fall into chaos.
And right now—
Iwagakure could not afford chaos.
So for now, he had to keep holding on!
The only real comfort left was the new generation.
Onoki looked at the documents on the table, sighed, nodded, and murmured, "Deidara and Kurotsuchi are both talented. Maybe in a few more years..."
For Iwagakure, the most important thing now was steady development.
Their top priority had to be economic growth—catching up with the Four Great Ninja Villages was essential. That's why, recently, he'd slowly begun shifting the village's focus toward economic development.
So—road building, transport infrastructure, and network commerce were all necessary. And of course, if possible... they needed a slice of the movie industry pie too!
At that moment—
Just as the Third Tsuchikage was deep in thought about how Iwagakure could surpass the Four Great Ninja Villages in the shortest time possible—
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly—
A loud explosion!
Startling the elderly man mid-thought—he flinched with a shudder, didn't even raise his head, and roared, "Deidara! What the hell is that kid doing again?!"
That explosion... way too familiar!
He was used to it!
That brat—always blowing stuff up every few days!
It scared the life out of people!
Just as the words fell—
Whoosh whoosh!
An Iwa ninja rushed in hurriedly. Onoki glanced at him coldly. "What's that kid throwing a tantrum about this time?"
"Deidara-sama..." The Iwa ninja hesitated, then cautiously said, "He got bullied in Ninja World Online, so... he kind of lost his temper."
"It's already this late, and he's still playing games? Didn't I tell him not to get addicted to the internet?" Onoki frowned, displeasure in his voice. "He should be focusing on studying! Training hard! So he can become a valuable pillar of Iwagakure in the future!"
But seeing the Iwa ninja's helpless expression, he sighed and shook his head. "That brat..."
Ever since Iwagakure got connected to the internet, he'd become completely hooked. Always spending his money on those useless virtual items, and whenever someone tried to stop him, he'd lose his temper and blow things up—he even bombed him, the Third Tsuchikage.
Just a few days ago, word spread that he skipped class to sneak off to an internet café to grind some Nine-Tails dungeon.
As expected—
The thing he feared most had come true.
Ever since learning the Yuto Group behind it all was owned by a Uchiha, Onoki knew... none of this was good. But for the sake of development, he had no choice but to compromise. He never imagined that in barely over a month, his once-excellent student had turned into a completely different person, lost in gaming addiction.
Onoki waved his hand, dispirited. "If he doesn't want to study, then send him to open roads and clear mountains. That section already requested more Fire Release ninjas anyway! Why can't he ever get the hang of it?"
With that—
The Iwa ninja opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed and said, "Understood."
Once the ninja left, Onoki looked down at Deidara's file on the table, shook his head in frustration.
This child...
When will he ever grow up?!
...
"Damn it!"
Deidara glanced at the mission assignment from the Third Tsuchikage—his teacher—and muttered angrily.
Iwagakure ended up like this because of that old man's mistakes, falling so low that any ninja village could push them around now.
And yet—
That old man wasn't trying to restore their honor with a bold comeback, instead assigning him to what?
Road work? Mountain clearing?
What a disgrace to Iwagakure!
"Sure enough! The old man is indeed old!" Deidara clenched the clay in his hand until it cracked with a spark, then muttered with his classic chuuni look, "Only I, Deidara, can save Iwagakure!"
Just like Yan from The Tale of Ninja Perseverance, who defeated all enemies and rebuilt a strong ninja village, or just like San from Ninja Continent, who crushed his foes and spread his ideals!
And he—
Deidara!
One day will become the strongest in the Ninja World, defeating every ghost and demon out there, and make all who live submit to him!
"Hahaha~!"
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that he was the protagonist. He burst out laughing wildly, then placed his left hand against his right, palm over face, right eye glinting with imaginary light (in his own mind), and thought, "I can't stay here anymore!"
Damn it, he wasn't even ten yet!
And they wanted him to go clear mountains?
What a joke!
So he decided to leave Iwagakure and roam the Ninja World to fulfill his dreams.
Once he made up his mind, he started packing immediately.
"I need to bring my money! My phone! I worked so hard to save up for it—it's coming with me. And that limited-edition Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Sword I bought online too!"
You can't explore the Ninja World unarmed!
Unfortunately—
He couldn't take his computer. But that was fine—he was the fated protagonist. A little thing like a PC? He could just buy another later.
He was certain he had some kind of powerful bloodline limit sealed within him—it just hadn't awakened yet.
He simply hadn't gone through enough dangerous encounters like the fellow protagonists!
Deidara believed—he was different from everyone else!!!
