After the release of two animated films Aladdin and The Toy Story, people applauded saying that this is one of the best animated films. In recent months Disney was finally founded and had the same logo as in John's previous life. John even started looking for Bob Chapek and Kevin Feige to take over the helm of Disney when the time was right.

Total fan value achieved - 150,800,000
Urge the host to work hard.]
Although the value of his fan was not the same as the lion king, he was happy about it. He got a lot of money from these two movies over the 2 billion dollar mark. Soon he brought some copies at the expense of some fan value. This copy is important for the next phase of his plan.
On the morning of September 2, the family of three went to Tokyo. Jameson was shocked when his son asked him to take him to Tokyo. He did not know what plan he had but he still supported him in his efforts.
On a cold night in Tokyo, they land at the airport and head straight for the hotel. Such a long journey was exhausting for everyone and they needed a break.
The next morning, John takes the family to Studio Pierrot with a lawyer and translator as he needs them during the negotiations. Soon they set up a meeting with the studio CEO.
The CEO was quite surprised and excited when he heard the famous creator behind the animated film was about to meet him so he emptied his schedule for this meeting. Soon John arrives with his family and heads to the meeting room.
"Hello Michiyuki Honma - san. It's nice to meet you. Hopefully we don't bother you by arranging this rushed meeting" John said with a smile. The translator helped him convey his words to Honma.
"Okay Mr. Honma we are here actually to establish cooperation with your studio and join hands we want to describe a beautiful story in the form of animation. The reason I chose Japan is not the USA is because I believe the story I have will appeal to Japanese audiences more than Americans" John said.
Hanmo is skeptical of this point. He is familiar with the animation industry in Japan and can probably be said to be the top animation industry in the whole world. Although he had doubts but he did not reveal them.
"I know you have doubts about this so let me give you a gift. I didn't bring any other presents so I can only give you 10 manga chapters that I drew myself. We can discuss the business requirements after you read this" John added and gave him 10 chapters of the manga he drew.
Hanmo started reading and the first page was a picture of the side of a mountain cliff with several faces plastered on the mountain. It looked almost like the famous Mount Rushmore only in this case its face was different. He then saw a picture of a boy with a cat-like mustache on both sides of his cheeks and he drew all sorts of strange faces and marks on the faces of the mountains.
This is the famous story of Naruto. John knows that to be on top of the world he needs a strong background. And after much deliberation he chose Naruto's story because he was afraid of choosing Bleach because the bleach world might coincide with the dimensions of hell. He was not sure if this world had Mephisto or even the true goddess of Death, and the world of One Piece was too complicated and the story was not even finished so he chose the Naruto world template. And he had a hunch that the price of Bleach and the others would be more expensive than Naruto.
John knew that to bring Naruto's entire world to Earth it would start a storm but he already had a plan from the beginning to fight it out in a peaceful way. John also speculated that bringing the whole world would cost a lot of fan value, but he was ready to pay the price and no matter how long it took.
Hanmo read chapter after chapter and she understood that this story had enormous potential. Soon she decided to accept any proposal because she knew that if the story went well, it would become world famous. Hanmo believes that John already has the whole story in mind and she believes in her own judgment of the story John tells.
"Sir John, we would like to negotiate with you to obtain the rights to create the story animation" Hanmo said sincerely.
"Of course Mr. Hanmo we would love to work together. Disney and your studio will work together on this. Your company will have full freedom to create animations and Disney will only be responsible for publications globally and other merchandise related to it. 60% from the profits will belong to your studio and this deal will continue even in future animations. How's that sound?" John asked Hanmo.
