"This Uchiha Is Not Too Cool":
The story picks up after "Dark-Cloaked Madara vs. Divine Hashirama." Madara Uchiha — the War God of the Ninja World who had fled Hidden Leaf Village — was now hiding in a small nation, plotting a bold new vision for the future.
Nobody knew that a ninja so feared he could silence crying kids just by being mentioned was hiding right here!
One day, Fenghua Meihui, a little girl living nearby, knocked on his door and begged him for shelter from a deadly crisis.
It turned out her father had reported a rogue ninja collaborating with local government officials in committing atrocities. In retaliation, villains sent by those authorities tracked her family down and brutally slaughtered them all.
After receiving Madara's help, young Fenghua Meihui started assisting him with household chores while also teaching him how to interact with ordinary people;
Meanwhile, Madara taught the girl ninja techniques.
They got along well and gradually influenced each other...
"Dark-Cloaked Madara vs. Divine Hashirama":...
A full hour later,
Princess Xiaoxue finally finished reading these two screenplays.
At this moment, she couldn't even describe her reaction:!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
She'd never come across anything this insane since starting her career!
Know this: during this era,
restricted by various countries' corrupt nobility through surveillance and oppression, the still-developing film industry generally dared not criticize politics or confront existing powers directly.
Therefore, most troupes only produced old-fashioned films praising love stories and glorifying aristocrats.
Not a single troupe dared to go all-in like this!
Yet this "This Uchiha Is Not Too Cool," just from its plot already thoroughly exposed governmental ugliness and harsh realities;
Even featuring ninjas—a powerful social class everyone usually avoids!
How can they film this?
Who dares to film this?
Who possesses such audacity?
If it were ever made and released, wouldn't that get people killed?
As for another script titled "Dark-Cloaked Madara vs. Divine Hashirama," it was even scarier.
Plot twists so absurd, scenes so eye-searingly outrageous...
Xiaoxue Fenghua actually pinched her thigh hard to force herself to finish watching.
Although the storyline was indeed captivating, revealing many unknown secrets about the Warring States-era ninja world.
But this production background even involved Hidden Leaf Village!
That was one of the Five Great Hidden Villages, representing one of the Five Great Nations!
Who would dare provoke them?
Even her homeland—the Snow Country—had to behave submissively before Konoha.
What about ordinary artists like themselves, without power or influence?
If they really enraged Hidden Leaf Village,
would there still be any chance of survival?
Could this youth before me possibly be insane?"
"How dare he openly oppose Hidden Leaf?"
Xiaoxue trembled as she stared at Shimoku in shock and fear.
Compared to these explosive scripts,
what she previously worried about—"improper intentions"—suddenly seemed trivial.
Of course, if she knew,
that this youth before her
had already defeated half of Hidden Leaf Village more than once,
and that even then Hidden Leaf remained helpless against him...
He'd probably end up dropping his jaw in shock.
In truth, from Shimoku's perspective,
both films were merely tactics—a means to shape public opinion and rehabilitate the Uchiha image.
After all, the vast majority of people in the ninja world knew very little about ninjas to begin with.
Thanks to the past great wars, the Uchiha had become infamous—monsters even among ninjas...
That wouldn't help at all when he unified the ninja world in the future.
If he wanted to change people's established impressions, culture was far more effective than brute force.
Once a film like This Uchiha Is Not Too Cool got released,
and became a hit, it would definitely reshape people's perception of the Uchiha Clan!
Of course, borrowing Lord Madara's reputation while enriching his life story a bit further...
was something Shimoku had intentionally done.
Madara himself probably wouldn't mind becoming even more popular, right?
Hiss… Just imagining Madara watching this movie himself,
his twisted face, his furious cursing through clenched teeth—it made Shimoku want to burst into laughter!
Not to mention the even more explosive sequel: Dark-Cloaked Madara vs. Divine Hashirama.
The scenes were so exciting—he couldn't even dare to imagine them fully!
By then, bombarding the ninja world with one blockbuster after another,
controlling over half the public opinion in the ninja world would be essentially in their hands.
"Rule the Great Nations through cinema!"—it was right around the corner!
Shimoku pulled back his thoughts and asked straightforwardly:
"So? Miss Xiaoxue, you only need to answer whether you can shoot it or not?"
He didn't have much time to waste playing pretend with this exiled princess.
Of course, if she truly were a powerful princess holding real authority,
he might've been slightly more interested.
"This... it's way too dangerous. You could get yourself killed..."
Xiaoxue hesitated.
Though she loved the film industry, she wasn't ready to give her life for it yet.
She was only twelve years old!
She still had a bright future ahead of her,
not to mention she hadn't even experienced love yet. She certainly didn't want to risk her life recklessly...
"You don't need to worry about the script or safety."
"If we dared to make such films, we must have been prepared..."
"Even if the Five Great Nations questioned us, to us, that's hardly worth mentioning."
"And also, if you agree,"
"I can personally grant you one additional condition—within my capabilities!"
Shimoku started his persuasion mode again.
After all, although he lacked the [Kutogen],
even Itachi, Sasori, Lord Madara, and others...
had fallen victim to his legendary "HuYou technique."
Shimoku firmly believed that a naive young girl wouldn't withstand his charm.
"One condition within your capabilities?"
"That's right. Within my abilities, I can fulfill anything. Even if you wanted to destroy a nation!"
"Destroy a nation?!!!"
"How is that possible?"
Xiaoxue gasped, covering her mouth, feeling Shimoku was clearly bragging.
Shimoku smiled faintly.
"No need to hurry. In time, you'll understand how much power this offer holds."
"Now, please give me your answer."
"Will you do it?"
