Tokyo 1970: I'll draw Doraemon?

"When should we get together and let loose?"

He muttered to himself.

"Hirokane-senpai, Otomo-kun, and... Oikawa-sensei."

When Oikawa was mentioned, Mitsuru Adachi's feelings were somewhat complicated.

When it was number one, Shonen Future cautiously chose to increase the circulation by only 5 copies. But this time, Naruto returned to number one with rave reviews, so Future increased the circulation from 95 to 110 million copies!

After breaking through the million-level mark, it has moved up another level.

Ultimately, this stems from a lack of belief that Touch can match Future's million-copy circulation.

They believe that Naruto's ranking has declined and there are problems, so they should make decisions carefully.

After Naruto proved itself again, the editors at Mirai Publishing had no objection to the figure of 110 million, finding it reasonable.

"As long as Mr. Oikawa is there, 110 million won't be a problem."

"They'll sell out quickly, right?"

"Ah ha ha."

Editor Osamu Kamei relayed everyone's comments to Mitsuru Adachi.

If they were the pillars, then those editors would never... be so bold and relaxed.

Whenever he thinks about this, Mitsuru Adachi's mind is never at peace.

His "Touch" has clearly carried the sales of "Weekly Shonen Future" this week!

95 copies of the magazine were sold out at several bookstores and convenience stores by Wednesday!

This is all thanks to myself.

Even the children playing nearby were talking about Weekly Shonen Future.

"When I got my allowance on Thursday, I found that Weekly Shonen Future was sold out and I couldn't find it anywhere. What happened?"

"It's probably related to... petroleum, right? But I bought it, and it's really fun! It's so exciting it's making my hair stand on end!"

"Really? We're coming to your house right away!"

"Huh? In such a hurry!"

"Ok!"

The two children, with their hands behind their backs and their bodies crouching low, ran towards Mitsuru Adachi in an odd posture.

Their conversation made Mitsuru Adachi nod excitedly.

"That's right, that's exactly it. This is the price Future Society pays for looking down on me."

He straightened his back, feeling that even if Mirai-sha didn't trust him, as long as the readers knew how fun Touch was, that was enough.

however……

"Does Neji have...?"

"Ah! Don't spoil it! I've always wanted to know how Naruto defeated Neji!"

As they passed Adachi Mitsuru, the two children were talking excitedly, which made Adachi Mitsuru feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

They passed themselves and ran towards the other side.

Adachi Mitsuru turned around stiffly, looked at the children's backs, and finally felt relieved.

"I see. Even if I get first place, I can't replace Mr. Oikawa's position. The influence of Touch can't compare to Naruto."

"This idea is shared by both editors and readers."

There are still many areas where I need to learn and grow.

……

The Nine-Tails' chakra broke through the blocked meridians, dissipating outwards and even enveloping Naruto's entire body.

Seeing Naruto in this state after a week of waiting, the readers were invigorated and filled with anticipation.

They were finally about to witness the underdog's comeback genius!

"I don't know about the Hyuga clan's resentful fate that you mentioned. Since you've said that it's impossible to resist, then let it be!"

"After I become Hokage, I will help you change the fate of the Hyuga clan!"

As the two clashed, Naruto launched a psychological offensive.

The Heavenly Reversal and the Nine-Tails' chakra collided, creating a massive explosion.

Smoke and dust enveloped the venue, making it difficult for people to see the specific situation.

When the smoke cleared, they discovered two large craters in the ground.

Clearly, this was caused by the impact of the collision between the two sides in the battle.

Whoever stands up first wins.

"Naruto... Naruto..." Matsumoto clenched his fist, his heart filled with unease, worried that Naruto would be defeated.

He was on Naruto's side. Besides Naruto being the protagonist, the strong side is always more likely to gain support from others than the self-pitying side.

To his disappointment, Neji was the first to stand up.

Although his chakra was no longer enough to maintain the Byakugan, his physical condition was still quite good, while Naruto lay motionless in the pit.

"This is reality..." Neji declared his victory.

"Ah, how could this be..." Matsumoto was about to complain when the ground in front of Neji suddenly cracked open, and someone jumped out from it, executing a rising dragon punch that slammed into Neji's chin.

This powerful blow completely neutralized Neji's ability to resist.

Without a doubt, Naruto won.

"Oh! Hooray!" Matsumoto, an elementary school student, couldn't help but cheer.

"What's wrong! What's wrong!"

"What's the ending?!"

The elementary school students, who had no pocket money to buy comic books and were waiting to take over, couldn't help but go up and chat with Matsumoto after seeing his excitement.

At this point, they didn't care about spoilers; they just wanted to know the outcome of Naruto and Neji's duel as soon as possible.

"Ah, listen to me, this and that!" Matsumoto exclaimed excitedly, "Naruto used his clones as a diversion, dug a tunnel under the clones, and caught Neji completely off guard!"

"That arrogant, pathetic fellow, his face is all distorted from being beaten!"

"Wow, Naruto is amazing!"

Naruto was able to defeat Konoha's top genius genin not only because of the Nine-Tails' chakra, but also because of his indomitable spirit and battle intelligence.

His consistent efforts were also indispensable.

After all, the Shadow Clone Technique was once his least proficient ninjutsu.

That was such a disastrous effect that even a graduation exam couldn't pass, and it was impossible for Neji to miss it.

If Naruto hadn't had the spirit of never giving up and instead accepted his current situation like Neji, then even with the Nine-Tails, he wouldn't have been able to stand in the same examination hall as Neji and win.

Naruto's current position is the result of his continuous efforts.

Birds soared in the sky, and the audience at the competition venue applauded and cheered for him.

"awesome!"

"Good job!"

"What a fantastic match!"

Naruto finally received the recognition he had been longing for.

Step by step, he continued to grow, from being a bottom-of-the-class student at the ninja academy who couldn't graduate, to successfully becoming a member of Team 7.

Having completed the arduous mission in the Land of Waves and overcome numerous obstacles, passing the written test, the Forest of Death, and the preliminary rounds, they arrived here.

These are things that Neji can easily obtain.

He was a genius of the Hyuga clan, with outstanding combat power, but he was unaware of and disdained to understand the predicament of being at the bottom of the class.

All I see right now is my own predicament.

He viewed the tragic experience of separating from his family as a cruel twist of fate, an abstract concept that had been used to torment and oppress him.

So he was crushed and became a person bound by clan dogma.

Feeling that no matter how strong he was, he could not change his fate, he chose to compromise and became a maintainer of the existing order.

But he was clearly the one being oppressed.

Faced with difficulties, he chose to escape.

Naruto was different. Although he possessed the Nine-Tails, he was ignored or even hated by many people, becoming an ostracized member of the group.

His experience makes him even more prone to extremism.

But Naruto made the problem more specific, choosing to gain the villagers' approval step by step.

From Iruka to Teuchi, and then to Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke...

Even now, many audience members cheer for his performances.

By breaking down large problems into smaller ones, Naruto's situation is constantly being corrected, and his ideals are being realized.

Although the chances are slim, it is not impossible to accomplish.

This is precisely Naruto's strength, and the reason for his victory.

At the end of the manga, Hiashi Hyuga tells the defeated Neji the truth about what happened back then.

Hizashi did not commit suicide for the sake of the head of the family; his intention was to make a spontaneous choice to protect the life of his older brother, Hiashi.

This was decided by his personal will.

So in the end, Hizashi disobeyed the head of the family's orders, chose to defy fate, and gained his freedom at the cost of his own life.

Neji didn't believe it, thinking it was a conspiracy by his family.

then……
