Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching

At this point, the main storyline is considered complete.

Originally, I planned to write until Naruto and the others grew up, but after careful consideration, I felt there wouldn't be enough content to write about.

Ultimately, I decided to end it after the battle with the Otsutsuki, and write the remaining content as side stories. This would be easier to write and easier to write well.

Xiaoju almost thought I had forgotten how to write and was just overconfident.

Fortunately, with the support of my brothers, this book without Sanjiang recommendations made a comeback, and at its peak, it was only a few dozen subscriptions away from averaging 20,000.

This achievement is rare among fanfics, and Xiaoju is quite satisfied.

However, although the results were beyond expectations, Xiaoju still has some regrets about this book.

This book is Xiaoju's first to exceed three million words. For Xiaoju, a newbie, this is a lot—more than the previous two books combined.

Due to a lack of experience in long-form serialization, many problems arose during the writing process.

Xiaoju has three particularly strong impressions:

The Rain Country Ninja Master arc, the fight with Uchiha Madara, and the parallel world Fourth Great Ninja War.

The Rain Country is a major storyline that runs through the main plot and plays a crucial role in the book, but due to various complex reasons, it failed to achieve the effect Xiaoju wanted.

There are many reasons, but in my opinion, the main issues are two aspects:

One is the protagonist's character design, and the other is a lack of writing experience in this area, resulting in hollow content lacking tension.

Expanding on the latter would require thousands of words, so let me talk about the character design issue.

In the beginning, the Mu Yue I imagined was just a graduate who understood the ways of the world, with no particular ambitions. Because he traveled to another world alone, he would feel fear and loneliness, thus becoming a selfish person without much emotion.

But as the protagonist of Xiaoju, who loves happy endings, could Mu Yue always be this kind of person?

Obviously not.

In my designed plot, Mu Yue initially approached the disciples only for the rewards they carried, wanting to farm rewards, gain gold coins, and then become stronger to protect himself.

But in the process of getting along, the disciples' sincere feelings moved Mu Yue, and his mentality gradually changed, genuinely wanting to protect these disciples.

Mutual redemption is the theme I set for the disciples and the protagonist.

Mu Yue changes the tragic lives of the disciples, while the disciples use sincerity to heal a lonely transmigrator whose heart is about to close.

Although Xiaoju feels that the idea is good, actually writing it out is full of difficulties.

In the early stages, because the protagonist acted for profit, many people commented that he was not worthy of being a teacher, that he was too selfish, or too dark.

It was the first time Xiaoju's protagonist was criticized, and I was directly stunned. Coupled with the poor results at the time, Xiaoju could only try to downplay this aspect of character development.

This led to errors in the character transition, and the Rain Country Ninja Master arc subsequently had problems.

In Xiaoju's outline, Mu Yue's mindset change is very important. After completing mutual redemption with the disciples, Mu Yue no longer views the ninja world from the perspective of a transmigrator, no longer looks down on the ninja world from the perspective of an outsider.

Only such a Mu Yue can more deeply feel the cruelty of the ninja world, recall the education he received, recall the great people he respected, and ultimately decide to change the ninja world and make it peaceful.

One step wrong leads to many wrong steps, resulting in the Rain Country Ninja Master arc being a mess. But this is an important plot that runs through the main line, so Xiaoju can only delete the Rain Country plot as much as possible to maintain readability.

It is precisely for this reason that Xiaoju has always had the idea of writing a side story about Mu Yue without a cheat system, to make Mu Yue's image more complete.

Rather than some old grandfather of the disciples, an emotionless task machine and camera.

The problem with the fight against Uchiha Madara was not as serious as that of the Ninja Master, just not as good, not bad.

The reason it is so memorable is that Uchiha Madara is the core BOSS of the main world, foreshadowed for a long time, but was killed off after writing only 27,000 words.

Many readers said it was hasty, that he died too easily, that the content was not rich enough, and that emotions were not fully released.

Xiaoju reflected on it afterward and indeed felt that the content could have been richer.

The reason for this, besides writing problems, is also because I am easily influenced by comments.

When most of the comments are saying to kill off the villain quickly, Xiaoju will also subconsciously speed up the progress.

This has its pros and cons. The good thing is that it's easy to know what readers want to see, the bad thing is that it's easy to have problems. After all, readers are not professional authors, and not sticking to one's own ideas can easily lead to misjudgments.

I hope that in the future, Xiaoju can become an author who both absorbs opinions and sticks to their own ideas.

As for the parallel world Fourth Great Ninja War, in my opinion, it is a regret equivalent to the Rain Country Ninja Master arc, or even greater.

Unlike the Ninja Master, which runs through the main line, the original intention of the parallel world Fourth Great Ninja War was to have fun and beat up BOSSes that hadn't been beaten, with greater operability.

And unlike the Rain Country plot, which was criticized from the beginning, the parallel world started well, with everyone praising it as more interesting than they imagined. It's no problem to say it started strong.

But because Xiaoju was in poor mental condition at that time, coupled with the fact that the previously written outline was not carefully checked, a major problem that Xiaoju hadn't anticipated arose, ultimately leading to a high start and a low finish.

The biggest conflict in the existing parallel world mainly lies in the protagonist's strength.

If the protagonist arrives with Obito and the others, then Six Paths Obito and Six Paths Madara won't appear, and they'll all be taken care of in a few moves.

But in the outline, coming to the parallel world is to fight BOSSes that don't exist in the main world, such as Otsutsuki Kaguya and Six Paths Madara.

So the protagonist can only come out at the end, otherwise the outline would be directly declared dead.

If it was just a matter of revising the outline, Xiaoju would be willing to spend more effort, but the problem is that when Xiaoju realized this, the parallel world's progress was already close to one-third, and it was impossible to make major changes.

Xiaoju could only grit my teeth and continue writing.

At that time, every time I finished writing and opened the chapter the next day to look at the chapter reviews, Xiaoju had to spend more than twenty minutes brewing courage before clicking.

At that time, Xiaoju, whose psychological resilience was poor, really wanted to uninstall Qidian and the author assistant.

But I couldn't not look, because there was already a problem, and writing with my head buried would only lead to bigger problems.

After finishing the parallel world, Xiaoju thought a lot, and the most I thought about was how to write a more fun and refreshing Fourth Great Ninja War.

In the end, Xiaoju felt that it might be better not to write about those Six Paths levels.

Because the battles are too compact, the characters don't even have time to chat.

But this is the scene of a cruel war, so you can't just stop the war and chat during intermission.

If I could do it again, Xiaoju would focus on the interactions between dual Obito and the different Kakashis.

As for the BOSSes, if we don't fight them, we don't fight them. Actually, it doesn't have much meaning, and it's not worth sacrificing the plot for the sake of fighting a BOSS.

In addition, although the main line is complete, this book will not end for the time being. Next, Xiaoju will write some side stories.

In addition to side stories that supplement the main line content, there are also some side stories that are independent of the main line. Here is a rough list:

Side Stories:

1. Mu Yue without a System (IF Route)

This time, Mu Yue doesn't have a cheat. Will he still interact with Obito and the others, and what actions will he take?

2. Obito Travels to the Original World.

Obito wakes up and suddenly finds himself alone in a parallel world.

"Since there is no Mu Yue Sage in the parallel world, then I will become the Mu Yue Sage here!"

3. Mu Yue is Killed by a Conspiracy (IF Route)

Due to unknown reasons, Mu Yue dies in battle with Uchiha Madara, and Nohara Rin is also taken away by Uchiha Madara.

The disciples' beliefs gradually diverge, and they eventually part ways.

Some want to revive Mu Yue at all costs and return to the good old days, while others believe that they should inherit Mu Yue's legacy and continue with Mu Yue's expectations.

(Will not return to the original line)

4. Supplementary Side Stories to the Main Line.

There are many of these, very miscellaneous, including the future lives of the protagonist group, as well as the content of the next generation, such as Naruto and Sasuke, after they grow up.

The side stories that Xiaoju mentioned before will basically be written.

If you have any interesting ideas or side stories you want to see, you can leave a message, and Xiaoju will absorb them as appropriate.
