Traveling through three generations: Orochimaru, you become the Hokage

What is the first priority of governance? Thought.

How to decide thoughts? Of course we start with cultural promotion.

Therefore, it is natural that among the work promoted by the relevant departments of the preservation zone and cultural propaganda, there is such a work with "political significance".

We want to make a TV series that ends the troubled times of the Warring States Period, builds villages in the first generation, and promotes the will of fire, "The Will of Fire"!

This is not a difficult task. There is no need to look for special actors because ninjas know how to transform. It is also a political mission to promote Konoha's will of fire, so it is natural to mobilize Konoha's ninjas.

In terms of special effects, Konoha, which has enough ninja and ninjutsu reserves, is also completely capable.

The core issue is the script.

This kind of cultural project can be said to be a top priority, and the script must not be neglected, so the script is currently being written and revised as it is being written.

In order to write this script, it even took several years to do it. It is a political task and there is no need to make mistakes.

In order to write this script, Konoha invited several well-known novelists and playwrights in the industry.

As for Jiraiya, he definitely wants to review this kind of cultural work, especially since this work promotes the peaceful Will of Fire. He really can't attach too much importance to it.

But this time, we encountered a problem while writing the script.

Cultural works will eventually change with policy changes.

"What should I do, Jiraiya-sama! We are now advocating a ban on gambling, but the First Hokage is very fond of gambling. I have always felt that this kind of historical creation should be close to realism. But under the current ban on gambling policy, the first Hokage-sama's story should be clearly stated. It’s a good gamble, so I’m afraid it’s not appropriate. But if it’s not written clearly, the character will be too unrealistic and not three-dimensional enough. I think a three-dimensional character should show whatever shortcomings it has.”

The person in charge of the script came over to complain.

When Jiraiya heard what he said, he couldn't help but nodded. He felt that he was right. Historical creation should be close to realism, and the characters should be three-dimensional and not just majestic and upright.

But the problem is that now that the policy of banning gambling is being promoted, it is best not to go against the implementation of the policy through cultural publicity work.

If it were an earlier historical figure that had nothing to do with Konoha, forget it, there wouldn't be so many taboos.

But this is the first Hokage who founded the village.

This is too fatal.

Originally, before this anti-gambling policy existed, the issue was not too sensitive. Now that we have it, we must take it into consideration.

Jiraiya frowned and thought hard.

Of course he attaches great importance to cultural propaganda work, but as a young artistic man, he also supports being as realistic as possible.

But if you want to be as realistic as possible... you need to know what kind of bad gambler the first Hokage was. For details, you can refer to Tsunade... Tsunade before gambling was banned.

After pinching his chin, Jiraiya thought for a while and could only say: "It's better that the first generation is keen on gambling, so he deliberately ignored it."

"Can't you mention it a little bit?" The person in charge of the script was a little embarrassed.

Jiraiya knew that he still wanted to strive for truth.

Cultural creation does not necessarily need to be true, but "The Will of Fire" belongs to historical themes.

Jiraiya sighed.

He waved his hand and said: "Why don't you just think about it carefully and how to solve it? After you go back, brainstorm and discuss it. After the discussion, give all your opinions to me."

"…yes."

"So, you're worried about this kind of thing?"

They were having dinner together in the security canteen again, Tsunade said with some indifference.

Jiraiya looked at her helplessly.

"This is your grandfather after all. Can't you care about promoting Grandpa You's deeds?"

"What's there to care about? It's a fact to state that my grandpa likes to gamble. If you don't state that my grandpa likes to gamble, it will only add luster to my grandfather's face. What do I have to object to? It doesn't matter. As long as it's not malicious. As long as it’s slander, I can accept it.”

"..."

Gudong, after Orochimaru swallowed a hot shelled egg, he said: "I have a suggestion."

"What advice?"

"The first generation's good gamble can be written clearly."

Jiraiya looked at him in surprise. Wasn't this going against the no-gambling policy? It shouldn't be, Orochimaru is now the Hokage, he must consider the impact, this is to seek his own government in his position.

"Of course gambling is not a good thing." Seeing Jiraiya and Tsunade looking puzzled at the same time, Orochimaru explained: "I don't really intend to promote gambling in such an important cultural work, so, You can design a plot like this. The first generation of adults cares about the common people. He is obviously a very good gambler, but in order to realize the vision of peace, he resolutely gave up gambling."

"Isn't this inconsistent with historical facts?" Jiraiya couldn't help but ask.

Orochimaru looked at him strangely: "Why does it have to be consistent with historical facts?"

"..."

The Hokage's opinion has been issued, and it must take action.

Not long after, Jiraiya saw the freshly released related plot.

The First Hokage saw the people devastated by the war and couldn't bear it. He was a gambling addict and felt that if he continued to indulge in gambling, his life would really be wasted.

The world is already like this, why is he still addicted to gambling?

No, no!

How many people are still waiting for his salvation? This world cannot continue to be scattered like this!

"Starting today! I want to quit gambling!"

The first generation slammed the table and shouted.

He suddenly stood up and swept the cards on the gambling table to the floor with a wave of his hand.

He turned around resolutely and walked out of the casino vigorously. Outside the casino, the sun shone on him, and as he walked, it gradually rose to the highest point...

"..."

Jiraiya watched the plot here in silence.

There was a smell that he couldn't place.

A feeling of wanting to complain but not knowing where to start.

You have to say it's wrong, there's nothing wrong with writing it this way, it fits the peaceful theme of promoting Konoha's Will of Fire. You have to say it right... The first Hokage was resurrected. When he saw this scene, he probably had to say: Huh?

"Jiraiya-sama, what do you think of writing it this way?" The person in charge of the script stood up and asked with some anxiety.

"..."

Jiraiya moved his lips, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it again and again, he could only raise his hand feebly and wave it.

"So be it."

At least he named the first Hokage as a gambler, which is in line with the main theme.

How else could it be done?

Anyway, this is just a detail. As for important historical events, it should be basically consistent with historical facts.

Besides, Tsunade doesn't care about the direct descendants of the First Lord, so why should you worry about her?

Anyway.

Cultural work is not easy either.
