Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Jobs like collecting debts or acting as thugs are nothing new.

However, given Konoha's current size and prestige, those so-called powerful underworld bosses would never dare to provoke them easily.

Even if Konoha were to venture into certain areas, there wouldn't be many opportunities.

After all, Konoha had never seriously ventured into the film industry before, and the only related tasks they occasionally received were serving as bodyguards for high-difficulty stand-ins to protect important stars.

Or perhaps it was just a ninja's personal desire for art, a cameo role for him.

So when Hiruko brought up the matter, Kakashi immediately assumed that Hiruko was trying to use the movie to launder money.

And certain shady dealings.

He asked with a suspicious look, "You don't mean you want me to wash the rice, do you?"

Hiruko widened his eyes and retorted innocently, "What are you talking about! Is that the kind of person you think I am?"

Upon hearing that it wasn't about washing rice, Kakashi visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then pressed on, "Then... there won't be any lewd content in this movie, will there?"

"You can rest assured about that!" Beiruk said seriously.

During the Warring States period, people were not particularly interested in ordinary movies, but if there were any special erotic elements, that was a different story.

But the film "Beilühu" is not like that at all.

Moreover, war is cruel enough, and people suffer greatly. Should we even be deprived of this little bit of spiritual comfort?

Demand X is the most basic part of Maslow's hierarchy of needs!

Hiruko suddenly stretched out his finger and flicked Kakashi's forehead hard.

Kakashi covered his forehead, muttering with a wronged expression, "What are you doing!"

Hiruko declared righteously, "Kakashi, how could you have such an absurd idea! I, Hiruko, will never tolerate gambling and drugs in this lifetime!"

"Getting back to the point, this is my most serious anti-war masterpiece, which I have carefully prepared!" With that, Hiruko handed the script in his hand to Kakashi.

Kakashi took the script, opened it, and began to examine it carefully...

No War in the Ninja World

(Or "Konoha Trench" or "Ninja Has No Tomorrow")

background setting

Timeline: Focusing on the Third Shinobi World War, avoiding the involvement of tailed beasts or legendary ninjas, and unfolding from the perspective of ordinary genin.

Location: A fictional, protracted battlefield where the two sides are Konoha and Iwagakure, but the "justice" is deliberately downplayed, highlighting the meaningless territorial struggle.

The tone is cold and realistic, downplaying the special effects of ninjutsu and emphasizing low-intensity but bloodier fighting such as kunai, explosive tags, and traps.

Core Theme

The collapse of the "heroic narrative": breaking the common "hot-blooded victory" of Naruto, showing how war crushes the dream of "becoming Hokage" into the despair of "just wanting to go home alive".

The system is a meat grinder: The high-ranking officials of the ninja village allude to the Danzo faction sacrificing lower-ranking ninjas for political gain, and the mission ranking system has become a death assembly line.

The blurring of the lines between friend and foe: through the protagonist's brief empathy with the enemy ninja, faith is deconstructed.

Chapter 1: Graduation Day - Shattered Dreams

The setting sun in Konoha painted the ninja academy's training grounds red.

"From this day forward, you will become ninjas who protect the village!" Iruka's voice echoed in the wind.

Koyu gripped the brand-new headband tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force.

She turned to look at her teammates beside her—Uchiha Fan's Sharingan gleamed faintly in the shadows, while Hyuga Kenta's Byakugan gazed silently into the distance.

"We will definitely become a legendary team!" Xiaoyu smiled brightly.

"Just like the Three Sannin!"

The explosion suddenly shattered the silence.

"Emergency assembly! Iwagakure has breached the border! All genin, reinforce immediately!"

The photo slipped from her hand, and the smiles of the three boys were covered by crushed footprints on the still-wet ink.

Chapter Two: The Bloodstained First Battle

"Hold this line! Those who retreat will die!"

Captain Inuzuka's roar shattered amidst the rain of arrows.

Xiaoyu lay prone in the mud, watching as the kunai pierced the back of her companion ahead.

The boy who was saying he missed his mother's cooking that morning is now crying while clutching his spilled intestines.

"Illusion Technique: Mist Servant Technique!"

The fingers forming the hand seal were trembling.

When the first enemy fell, warm blood splattered on her face.

"Well done!" Uchiha Fan's Fireball Jutsu illuminated the night.

"There are three more on the left!"

Kenta Hyuga's Byakugan veins bulged: "Watch out! Underground—"

In the flash of the detonation tag, Xiaoyu saw the captain use his body to press down on it.

"Live on...with my dog..."

The shattered ninja dog collar rolled to her feet, with half a half-eaten soldier's ration still hanging on it.

This is a companion given to him by a friend from the Inuzuka clan!

Chapter Three: The Cycle of Slaughter

"How many night raids have there been now?"

Kenta's bandages were soaked with blood.

In thirty-two days, the team changed four times.

Of the original ten, only three remain.

Xiaoyu stared at the campfire, mechanically grinding a kunai in her hand.

"We're going to ambush the Sunagakure supply convoy tomorrow."

Uchiha Fan's Sharingan swirled in the firelight: "The intelligence says they're all medical ninjas."

In the early morning mist, they crept into the camp like ghosts.

"Let's do it!"

The sensation of the kunai piercing my neck was so familiar it was nauseating.

Until the light rain lifted the tent flap—

"Mother?"

An elderly woman with a wrinkled face held an unconscious child, with a medical kit scattered on the ground.

Kenta's kunai clattered to the ground: "They are...commoners..."

"A mission is a mission." Uchiha Fan's voice sounded like it was poisoned, but Xiaoyu could see the tomoe in his eyes spinning wildly.

That day, her illusion went out of control for the first time.

All the enemies, in their frenzy, tore their own throats apart.

Chapter Four: The Meaningless Hill

"We must take Mount Aomori! This is the Hokage's direct order!"

The staff officer's scroll slammed onto the table.

Xiaoyu looked at the latest batch of replacement players—those youthful faces, just like herself a month ago.

As the bugle call to charge sounded, she heard someone humming a lullaby.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire!

Amidst the explosion of clashing ninjutsu, Kenta's Byakugan suddenly widened: "Watch out!"

The moment he pushed Xiaoyu away, ten Senbon needles pierced his chest.

"Eye roll... So you can see... so many stars..."

Xiaoyu held the gradually cooling body, the green light of the medical ninjutsu shining in vain.

Uchiha Fan stood in a pool of blood, the three tomoe in his eyes twisting and deforming.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan illuminated the battlefield, and Amaterasu's black flames engulfed the entire mountain ridge.

Three days later, the messenger ninja came running, panting: "There's a mistake! It's Aokiyama! Cease the attack!"

Looking at the charred corpses covering the mountain, Xiaoyu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard she vomited blood.

Chapter 5: The Last Light

On the eve of the armistice, the unusual moonlight illuminated the trenches.

The light rain caressed the crumpled letter paper.

Dear Mom:

I dreamt of your miso soup again today.

The war is almost over, I…”

As the sound of something cutting through the air rang out, she instinctively formed hand seals.

"Illusion Technique: Mirror of Heaven and Earth!"

The arrow changed direction, and a heavy thud could be heard in the distance. But the second arrow had already pierced her lung.

"Cough...it's really...the moonlight is beautiful..."

Blood splattered onto the letter paper.
