Chapter 42: Seeking Ways to Earn Money

It was quite a surprise for Sasuke to encounter someone like Naruto, who was often seen as a hindrance, in such an academic setting.

But considering that Naruto had single-handedly raised the average score of the entire grade during this period, Sasuke felt that this result seemed normal.

He was even one of the influences behind Naruto's change.

On the other side, Naruto asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Sasuke retorted. "As a student, doing more homework and practicing more is a normal thing in itself.

"But you, are you finally ready to catch up on your studies?"

"No, it's not that," Naruto shook his head, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Sasuke looked at him twice and knew what he was holding back.

Without waiting for Naruto to speak, Sasuke took the lead and said, "Sit down and talk about it! I already know your intention."

Naruto: "Huh?"

Still a little confused, Naruto saw Sasuke return to his original seat, so he followed and sat down opposite Sasuke, feeling a bit uneasy.

Sasuke tapped the table twice with his fingers, reminding him, "You can take out the draft you wrote. Don't be nervous; whether it's good or not, this piece is the result of your hard work during this period. I won't laugh at you."

"You... how do you know what I was going to say before?" Naruto's eyes widened, not understanding how Sasuke knew what he was thinking before he even spoke.

Sasuke pointed to his own black eyes: "In front of these eyes, ordinary people can rarely hide their secrets, unless you restrain yourself from thinking about it.

"But it's really surprising that you can complete a work so quickly. I thought you would slack off."

"No, being lazy is not my style," Naruto argued, then took out the notebook and added, "Well, because it's handwritten, the words may be a little sloppy, but I really wrote it seriously. Can I really exchange these things for money at the bookstore?"

Sasuke didn't say much about this.

Although he saw Naruto's talent in this area, the image of Naruto being a hindrance was deeply rooted in the minds of everyone at the ninja academy.

Occasionally, there is a change of character, which greatly improves the average quality of the whole class. It is not because Naruto has grown so strong, but purely because he had fallen to the bottom before, so any improvement is noticeable.

As for the fact that Naruto really produced a work this time, it is true.

Considering that the ninja academy is a place where students are managed in a centralized manner, unless Naruto has mastered the skill of slacking off accurately, there is not much time left for him to write, and he can only create works. It is certain that he has calmed down recently.

No wonder he has not caused any farce in the academy recently.

All his time was spent writing.

Taking the book that had been stained with traces of time, Sasuke first looked at the name on the cover that was still neat, and then flipped through the text, immediately noticing that the handwriting gradually became sloppy.

As someone who has also studied ninja codes, Sasuke has the ability to decipher ordinary codes in a short time. At this moment, when he opens the Sharingan, he can naturally read Naruto's text without any obstacles.

The two-tomoe Sharingan is now used for the right purpose.

The white kitten leaned on Sasuke's shoulder, and its eyes also fell on the book. Following Sasuke's eyes, it examined the results of Naruto's efforts: "The writing is a bit immature, it is really the writing style of a primary school student. The words and sentences are very simple, and he tried to use some skills in the beginning, but he seemed to give up in the end..."

Sasuke listened to the system projection chattering, but his expression remained normal. He just turned the pages one by one, comparing the feeling he had when he read other books.

Novels, movies, comics, and even literary classics—all works with literary or entertainment value are very helpful in cultivating sentiment and developing abundant emotions.

In the past, Sasuke was not very aware of this.

Now that he has upgraded from a single tomoe to a double tomoe, he has realized that his overall strength has increased by more than one level, and the effect is much better than when he first awakened the Sharingan. Naturally, his attitude towards these things has changed.

It turns out that walking on the right path to becoming stronger not only has a more stable foundation but also a faster speed of becoming stronger.

Although Naruto's skills and even his core are very immature, he is at least considered talented. It is not difficult to read.

Sasuke reads page by page and sees that although the plot is the same as the current popular routine, the connection is very natural, and the emotional progression is natural, as if the author has imagined that there can be such an exciting story.

Sasuke can know this belief in Naruto without reading the narration.

After all, a certain yellow-haired man said that he wanted to be Hokage quite openly and never concealed it, but he would be ridiculed by others every time he said it.

The idea of the article is consistent with the behavior of the person, which can be confirmed to be Naruto's own idea.

He showed his belief in becoming Hokage, as well as the recognition of the public, the surprise of competitors, and all kinds of desires that came with it in the article he wrote, giving the article a surging appeal.

But apart from the main text, in reality, a certain yellow-haired man looked at the test on the other side, and his heart was a little up and down.

When he was writing, he put himself into the story, so he became more and more excited, but it was hard to say whether Sasuke would recognize this work.

Especially when Sasuke read it, his expression was very calm.

Whether it was good or not, it was completely impossible to tell.

What he didn't know was that Sasuke was not sure whether this work was good or not during the reading process, and he was not working in the bookstore. He is not a best-selling author like Jiraiya.

After reading the first 20,000 words, Sasuke quickly flipped to the last page, mainly to make sure whether Naruto was slacking off.

After that, Sasuke closed the book, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and his eyes fell directly on the narration that had just unfolded.

[Item: Uzumaki Naruto's novel. Judgement: Has certain commercial value.]

[As a ninja story written by ninja students themselves, this article has its unique advantages. It also has a unique perspective that excellent ninjas and ordinary civilians cannot see. Under the unique narrative skills of the writer himself, the story is written relatively smoothly. The story fits the market and has unimaginable competitiveness for ordinary people.]

[This is something that even the cub host could not have expected. It turns out that a quiet guy who is not good at speaking also has moments to move people by selling his dreams.]

```

After reading the reviews, Sasuke knew that this provocation that he had just tried before had obviously produced results that could be converted into money.

The narrator knows the past and the future. There is only what he cannot understand, but nothing he cannot see.

Since this article has been judged to have potential, it naturally has sufficient commercial potential.

All it needs is an appropriate channel.

It is precisely because the emotions in this article are so sincere that it can prove Naruto's determination and desire to become Hokage.

In contrast, in terms of behavior, after having a goal to move forward, Naruto has made fewer noisy actions recently.

This is really wanting to be Hokage!

But Sasuke, who feels that there is something wrong with this village, also has the goal of becoming Hokage. He does not want to give up the position of Hokage to Naruto just because this story is still quite appealing.

That's impossible!

The other party has produced a finished product, so in this story, we should not let the other party suffer a loss.

Sasuke pushed the text back and said in a flat tone, "The writing style is immature, the words are too few, and some sentences are really not mature enough. Seeing that you have started to hang out in the library, it is obvious that you have the idea of solving the accumulation problem."

"If you agree, I can help you run this book. As an intermediary, I will collect the due remuneration at that time."

"Is it really not possible?" Naruto saw Sasuke's expression was calm, and his mood had fallen to the bottom. He lowered his head and then noticed the following content, "Wait, you want to help run this book... Is my writing okay?!"

As a representative of being incompetent at everything, he was ready to make a comeback, and the twists and turns in Sasuke's words immediately surprised and delighted him.

Sasuke spoke, his tone was soothing and calm, revealing the confidence of Uchiha: "I said, my eyes have seen the answer!

"I said you have a talent in this area, you have a talent in this area, prepare to change into a nice outfit after you have income in a while! People without confidence can't do anything."
