NOVEL FROG 244. So it starts here
"I thought that I will conduct a magical test for graduation. Seems like the library had already given you the passing grade." Shikuro said.
"Dad, can I not take any tests?" Torune tugged the vest of Shikuro only to be glared down by his father, which made Torune cower down. This made everyone around laugh out loud.
"If you can open any other section than the Eldritch one, then sure." Shikuro said which made Torune speechless. How would he know if he could ever open any other sections of the library for himself.
"Naruto, you better study well." Aoto said as Naruto was ready to step in and start his accumulation of knowledge of celestial magic.
"You got it brother. I will.. soon become powerful and protect you and everyone." Naruto replied.
"Who needs your protection, you brat." Edward gave Naruto a knock on his head for saying so big words and thus made everyone laugh.
"Uh.. It hurts.." Naruto complained.
"Good. It should hurt for saying so big words." Winry chimed in. Normally their grandma would roast Edward and Naruto, but today she was silent. Her silence meant that she was very happy with Naruto.
"Where is Zimmer?" Corazon asked as he looked around.
"He is a bit busy with the new movie that he is producing." Aoto replied.
"A movie huh?! Konoha isn't known for good movies. Hope it will be a successful one." Shikuro said.
"Don't mention it. I watched the "Heart of the Seas" made by Konoha. I just wanted to puke." Edward complained as one time, he and Winry, went on a date and watched the movie. The story was a about a ninja of Konoha, getting held up on a pirate ship while on a mission to Village hidden in the Mist. The story was only about how he was able to escape from the pirate ship and then complete mission.
There was no emotions involved and not even a proper and justified story. When Aoto came to know of the story, he thanked his stars for watching Fast and the Furious, at least there was a center point in those movies.
Here there was none and Edward looked pissed after the date. Thankfully. Aoto knew that Zimmer had good stories to tell the world and he had already started working after establishing a great music production company.
Zimmer's music was already famous in Konoha and was getting fans internationally. You have to understand that the world hadn't had good music, and though due to war, there had been advancement in literature like poems and war stories, but music didn't bloom because music needed better instruments and the world wasn't ready to innovate towards that at the moment.
So Zimmer's music was although hit, it was not able to gain popularity as fast outside. And his music was way ahead of its time. Aoto had brought out the Ipods which was instantly a hit and its sales had already started, both at Konoha and Iwagakure.
In fact, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had come one day to discuss if they could take over the distribution of the ipods and if Aoto needed help to innovate the ipods since it was becoming so popular. But Aoto declined. At first the trios were a bit saddened since Aoto declined the deal but then he explained why he did so.
It was because Aoto wanted to introduce mobiles in the market. The whole idea stupefied the trio and they got seriously hooked of the grand ideas Aoto had for the future. Now they were not saddened by the refusal of the deal but rather, were optimistic about the future.
Naruto meanwhile had already started learning about celestial magic and he was beyond happy to get a hint of the new knowledge which was vast. It is also to be mentioned that Kurama didn't get access to the celestial magic as he was not eligible. The power of the library, surprised Kurama again.
He had seen the power before and it still stumped him. He had a feeling the library might be at the same level as his father, which was absurd for a library but nobody could explain how this place was outside the current space time and he couldn't feel its existence once he came out.
Moreover, the more he read about magic, new doors opened for Kurama. The universe, the multiverse, the Gods, the devils and the powerful beings. Now he realized how stupid he was to think of his own arrogance. Now he could understand why Kaguya, was so powerful and how she could manipulate the laws so easily.
Of course, if Aoto ever knew that Kurama thought that way, he would just laugh. Magic had nothing to do with her godlike abilities and she was just powerful by sucking the life energy of others and yes, the betrayal too.
Few more days had gone by since the introduction of celestial magic to Naruto, but it didn't mean that he was immediately able to use celestial magic. He was pretty slow as usual and was just starting. Though his start was poor, it didn't mean his dedication was. Naruto's dedication was what made his apart from others.
Even Aoto himself never had that kind of dedication. One fine morning, Naruto was called to the Hokage's office and was given a new mission. A C level mission and a mission which led outside of Konoha.
Naruto was beyond ecstatic and came running home to get himself ready.
"Where is the mission?" Aoto asked, seeing Naruto was beyond happy to got for a C level mission of security.
"To the Land of the Waves." Naruto replied. Aoto, who was busy reading, a novel closed the book slowly and placed it at the table.
"So it starts here." Aoto murmured.
"Did you say something brother?" Naruto asked as he was busy packing his bag.
"No... No.. Nothing.. Just surprised that my brother is old enough now to go outside Konoha and do a mission." Aoto replied.
"Hehe.. Brother.. If you join us, you can go out too on a mission. I am sure Kakashi-sensei would love your company." Naruto said.
