The performances were nothing particularly special, basically just singing and dancing. As for the dances...
Jun did not know how they choreographed them there. Anyway, they all looked very characteristic of each clan's traditional dances, but they were actually quite good. They had that kind of feeling that boosts morale and is positive and uplifting, paired with the very similar clan music...
He increasingly suspected in his heart that this was adapted from some clan's traditional dance and music. As for whose clan?
He could only find out by seeing if anyone got tied up and beaten by their clan tomorrow.
Jun sighed inwardly...
This should be considered a limitation of this era!
Although he had been vigorously developing spiritual civilization construction, including music, dance, literature, movies, television, and so on, these ninjas were still constrained by the times. Most were either similar to their clan's traditions or related to ninjas.
Stories like family revenge, ninjas saving the world, or defeating evil forces to rescue the princess and live a happy life...
These things were still big sellers in this current era. After all, in an era lacking entertainment, having something to watch was already very good. What more could you want? Of course, he believed things would definitely change in the future...
No matter what it is, once you watch it for a long time, you will get tired of it, and then new things adapted to that era will inevitably appear.
Moreover...
He heard that revenge-themed movies were very popular among the Uchiha clan!
A child oppressed by his clan, with both parents dead, himself wandering outside, finally...
Rising to power and returning to the clan, wiping them out in one go!!
What a familiar story!
Jun guessed that these kinds of movies, with hatred, story, and close to ninja world life, were more favored by the current ninjas. He had watched a few himself. They were basically all variations on the same theme. An older brother who dotes on his younger brother dies, the younger brother seeks revenge; parents die, child seeks revenge; younger brother dies, older brother seeks revenge; fiancée falls in love with someone else, husband seeks revenge...
Just all sorts of messy stuff!
He originally planned to rectify this, but when he saw that some Uchiha clansmen actually awakened their Sharingan because of these TV shows and movies, Jun didn't say anything more.
Anyway, the ones doing the censorship were from the Uchiha clan. At most, in these few years, he would just watch the ones he produced himself~
So...
The entertainment in the current ninja world...
Is really lacking!!!
Jun turned his head to look at Mikoto beside him and said doubtfully, "Why are all the performers on stage from the Uchiha clan and the Yuki clan?"
People from these two clans were too easy to distinguish. Except for some special cases, most of the Uchiha clan had expressionless faces, and the Yuki clan were basically pretty boys or beauties with long, straight black hair...
And from the start of the show until now, he had really seen only handsome guys and beautiful girls!
"Because the Uchiha clan and the Yuki clan are very popular!" Mikoto, holding the child, said with a smile. "Haven't you seen that most TV shows and movies now hire people from the Uchiha clan and the Yuki clan?"
"..."
This damned world that judges by looks...
Jun shook his head helplessly, then continued watching the program...
He never thought the ninja world would also become like this. It seems he must introduce a few more tough, masculine heroes!
Otherwise, what if things go astray?
...
"There are quite a few bloodline limit clans in Uzushiogakure!" Utakata said, frowning slightly when he saw the Yuki clan members come out. "But didn the Fourth Mizukage say long ago that the Yuki clan was wiped out?"
Could it be that some Yuki clansmen escaped to Uzushiogakure?
It seems...
There must be some hidden story behind this!!!
"Why do you care so much?" Han didn't even look up, still watching the program, while reaching his hand into the snack bag next to him, grabbing a handful, and said flatly, "None of this has anything to do with us now."
Having stayed in Uzushiogakure for quite some time, he knew...
The number of foreign clans in Konoha was not as few as stated on the surface. Probably now, in the entire ninja world, no other ninja village had more bloodline limit clans than Uzushiogakure.
So...
Since other villages didn't care, why should he, a ninja abandoned by Iwagakure, care so much?
Might as well...
Han reached out to the side again...
"Smack!"
"I told you not to eat my stuff!" Utakata said angrily. "Haven't you sold chakra?"
Everyone in Uzushiogakure knew that the owner of the Four-Tails Hot Pot restaurant, the wealthy man of Uzushiogakure, started his fortune by selling chakra. He didn't believe this Five-Tails Jinchuriki hadn't sold any?
He must just be trying to take advantage now!
"I'm also very poor, you bastard!"
After selling chakra once, he had to wait a few days before he could sell again. Otherwise...
The Six-Tails simply wouldn't release chakra, so he could only sell his own, and he only had so much...
His legs would go soft after selling!
"Just a little bit." Han said nonchalantly. "As a Five-Tails Jinchuriki, how can you be so stingy over a little snack?"
Like him...
He hadn't spent much money recently, always mooching meals off Roshi. Was he proud of that?
Did Roshi say anything?
No!
Although he always had a sour face, he didn't reject him!
So...
"There are only nine, now eight, Jinchuriki. We eight should be like brothers helping each other. What's wrong with eating a couple of your snacks?"
Hearing Han's words, Utakata, as an outstanding young man, decided not to bother with this shameless uncle anymore. He said irritably, "If we're brothers, then lend me a few million Uzu gold. When my bubble bathhouse opens, I definitely won't forget you."
"I also want to open a Five-Tails Steam Sauna City!" Han rolled his eyes. Even brothers must keep accounts clear. Even Roshi wouldn't lend him money, why would he lend to others?
He sighed helplessly...
"How about you lend me five million Uzu gold first? When your big brother makes a fortune, I'll definitely pay you back, and then lend you five million more."
"..."
If I had five million, would I need to borrow from you?
Utakata decided to ignore this freeloading Five-Tails Jinchuriki. He moved the snacks to his other side and honestly started watching the performance...
This Five-Tails Jinchuriki was clearly just here to scam food and drinks!
...
"Boom!"
"Dong!"
As the final firework bloomed in the dark sky, along with the sound of a loud, resonant bell...
"It's finally over." Jun stretched, stood up, glanced at the satisfied-looking audience around him, and nodded, saying, "It was still quite good."
They had done very well to achieve this. The entertainment knowledge in his mind was ultimately beyond this era. Sometimes bringing it out might not be well-received, because this was the ninja world, not the world he originally lived in.
So...
Things that could adapt to this era were the best. There was no need to force things too much. With the popularization of education and the increasingly complete curriculum, he believed that things adapted to that future era would gradually appear, and maybe he could even see familiar things.
Besides, if the steps were too big, what if they overstretched?
This was also why in recent years he only gave a general idea and let Chiro and Hiruko research it themselves, at most exchanging some relevant knowledge for them to use as reference.
This was so that in the future, if children asked how these things were made, someone could answer!
Otherwise, once knowledge occurred, it might take many times the cost to regain it...
