Admission * Mascot

The sun was setting in the west, and the Kasuga shone brightly.

After lunch, the Daimyo, who had settled into the Post Station, was admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden.

Yuan Yusheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Cherry Tree in the center of the courtyard that had long since passed its flowering season.

Spots of sunlight peeked through the lush greenery, swaying gently in the warm spring breeze.

After watching for a while, he suddenly said, "This Uchiha Izuna is incredibly skilled. I never dreamed I would encounter something so bizarre."

Wakako was kneeling under the eaves, pouring wine into his cup.

She changed into a casual kimono, loosely rolling up the cuffs to reveal her slender, white wrists. Her dignified demeanor was completely different from the woman who had been excitedly peering out from the railing at noon.

"Yeah, they actually let us ride Summoning Beasts. But it was really fun."

Yuan Yusheng sat down next to her and took the wine glass. "That's interesting, aren't you a little too excited? You actually rode it! I was quite startled."

He spoke without reproach, a slight smile playing on his lips. "My lady, when did you become so bold?"

Wakako put down the wine jug, placed her hands clasped on her knees, and said solemnly, "As the mother of a nation, I must first demonstrate Yūki. His Majesty cannot openly support the Ninjas under such circumstances, so I must pave the way for you."

After saying that, she smiled, her eyes crinkling, "And isn't His Majesty also very happy? Opportunities to get so close to such a fairy are rare indeed."

"A fairy... well." Yuan Yusheng swirled his wine glass, looking at the small patch of sunlight reflected on the surface, and didn't refute it.

He finished his drink, "It was like experiencing what it's like to be a Ninja."

Wakako picked up the sake bottle again and refilled his cup, her voice soft, "I'm really looking forward to the Amusement Park tomorrow."

The time has come to this moment.

Wakako stood in front of the vermilion Clock Tower, looking up, feeling as if her mind had stopped working.

The poise and composure I displayed while chatting with Yuan Yusheng yesterday afternoon were utterly shattered by this building before me.

No matter how curious they were at the time, they didn't really think Konoha could offer anything of value.

The scenery in Konoha is nice, but that's all it is. Compared to the Capital, it's literally a remote and impoverished place.

The residents' clothing, the street construction, and the goods sold were all too simple and cheap. If this weren't Ren's hometown, the magical Ninja village, she probably wouldn't have even given it a second glance.

But this is where she is, so she's determined to make sure you support her as much as possible, no matter what she sees.

Moreover, this is not only for Ren's sake, but also for the image of the country and for the face of the world's Daimyo one husband, so it must be treated with utmost care.

But when she saw such fantastical architecture with her own eyes, she realized that her worries were unnecessary.

"This is truly... grand..." Yuan Yusheng's tone rarely carried such obvious hesitation.

"Mmm," Wakako responded with a single word. She couldn't find any other words.

The Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony was much simpler than she had imagined.

After saying a few words, Hashirama handed the golden scissors to her and Yuan Yusheng. The blades opened and closed, and the silk flower silently broke.

Applause erupted from the crowd, but she barely noticed it.

Her gaze kept drifting towards the inside of the Clock Tower.

The huge red lantern caught her attention; now she just wanted to get inside as quickly as possible.

They rode their Summoning Beasts and followed Izuna into the tunnel.

Darkness pressed in from all sides, and the coolness of the mountain seeped into my sleeves.

Wakako instinctively tightened her grip on the Ninja Cat's reins.

Before she could even feel afraid, a woman's voice rang out.

Welcome to Konoha Amusement Park.

Wakako suddenly looked up; she recognized the voice.

It's Tokuko!

[Konoha Amusement Park is an entertainment venue that exists for pure fun. You can play games, buy souvenirs, watch stage performances, and even experience things only Ninjas could do. So, come and experience the world of Konoha Amusement Park with me.]

In the darkness, a bright spot appeared.

Wakako didn't even bother to look at what the tunnel exit looked like.

She grabbed Yuan Yusheng's sleeve, her voice low but filled with barely suppressed excitement and pride. "It's Tokuko's voice!"

The Envoy from the Land of Lightning asked, "Who is Tokuko?"

Yuan Yusheng's gaze remained fixed on the increasingly bright spot deep within the tunnel, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Taira no Tokuko, the wife of Emperor Takakura in the Tale of the Heike. The actress who performed at the Spring Festival at that time was the owner of this voice."

Before the words were even finished, the bright spot suddenly expanded, tearing open the entire darkness.

Light surged in from the front, poured down from above, and spread up from the bottom. The stone walls of the tunnel were like burning paper rolls, burning away the gray shell inch by inch from the inside out, revealing the vibrant and intense colors underneath.

Multicolored light spreads across the smooth cliff face, projecting one flowing image after another, as if the entire mountainside has been carved into a giant revolving lantern.

The Samurai gasped in astonishment; they had never witnessed anything like it before. They stared back, mouths agape, unable to close.

Some people subconsciously reached out to touch the stone wall, their fingertips touching only the cold stone, but their eyes saw the light and shadow flowing across the back of their hands.

The Ninjas became alert, their hands on their sword hilts, their eyes scanning the tops and sides, searching for the trajectories of ambushes, Explosive Tags, and hidden weapons.

The Chakra patterns flowing within those lights and shadows are the Barrier patterns of Sealing Jutsu.

They understood that it was unlikely that the Konoha would make a move in such an important occasion, but the Chakra fluctuations invading from all directions still made them tense, their fingers gripping their weapons tightly, ready to strike at any moment.

The lively Shamisen wafted in from all directions. It was the band playing deep inside the tunnel. (Cool Spiral)

The light and shadow of the Carousel emerged from the stone wall on the left. Each of the carousel horses was carved with the shape of a ninja beast— Ninja Dog, Ninja Hawk, Ninja Cat, and Ninja Deer.

As the wooden pole rises and falls, their limbs and wings move accordingly, as if they were running.

The entire Carousel slowly turned, shimmering with light and displaying extraordinary beauty.

Then, Ferris Wheel appeared on the right, towering into the clouds.

No one else had ever seen this thing before.

At Konoha Amusement Park, you can see all sorts of amusement facilities.

[Carousel, Ferris Wheel, Botanical Garden —everything here exists to please you. We hope you have a pleasant experience.]

The Envoy from the Land of Water: "Is this Ferris Wheel a waterwheel? I've never seen such a huge waterwheel before."

"It shouldn't be," Ishimi in. "After all, there's no water flow around there, which means it's not water-driven."

"It's probably for observing the heavens," the carefree man from the Land of Lightning said. "Since its name includes the word 'sky-high,' it must live up to its name. Look, there are even small boxes hanging up there, like private rooms."

The Envoy from the Land of Wind asked with concern, "Are we really going to ride this thing?"

"Why not?" The Envoy from the Land of Lightning raised an eyebrow. "Or are you afraid? Well, you don't have high mountains over there, so you don't know the joy of seeing everything from a high vantage point. If you can see the entire Konoha Special Administrative Region, what's a little risk?"

The Envoy from the Land of Wind rolled his eyes, not wanting to bother with this brute.

Just then, the narrator mentioned the issue of safety.

Your safety will be protected by our Konoha Ninja Security Guard Corps, so please enjoy everything here without worry.

A group of Ninjas in matching uniforms appeared on the stone walls on both sides.

It wasn't armor from the battlefield, nor the Eight Gates; it was an identical black kimono.

The cuffs narrowed, a white belt was tied around the waist, and a gleaming Konoha Forehead Protector was strapped to the shoulders.

Everyone's hair was neatly combed back, and they stood upright with their shoulders back.

They wore badges with the words "Guard Unit" hanging from their waists, and lined up in a row in the light and shadow, looking heroic, smart and neat.

A sense of order has weight. Although the Envoy from the Land of Wind was suspicious and didn't quite trust the Ninjas from other countries, he felt a rare sense of security at this moment.

The camera didn't stop there; their perspective shifted to the open space between the rides.

[In the Shopping Center, vendors from various regions are waiting to serve.]

[You can find everything here, from souvenirs and toys to food, clothing, and even unsharpened weapons.]

The merchandise circulates under the camera movements designed by Izuna.

Ceramic cups, fabric flowers, miniature wooden knives, snack boxes printed with Amusement Park logos, cute pendants, layers upon layers of exquisite clothing and gleaming knives appeared on the walls.

Everything was illuminated by the light, creating a dazzling interplay of light and shadow that elevated their overall quality.

[The most indispensable element for us is the essence of Ninja.]

As soon as the Virtual Fire Style burst forth, the clanging of swords rang out, and water, earth, and lightning appeared in turn, accompanied by blurry figures passing by them, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.

At Konoha Amusement Park, you can fully appreciate the wonders of Ninjutsu and enjoy Ninjutsu conveniences. You can even experience the thrill and excitement of being a Ninja yourself.

[Some thrilling entertainment activities will allow you to experience firsthand the wonders of Ninjas. If you believe you have enough courage, feel free to give it a try.]

The bungee jumping platform extends down from the top of the cliff, and the ropes sway slightly in the wind.

The Zipline stretches straight from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, with layers of tree canopies below.

High-Altitude Bridge spans the canyon.

The entrance to the underground tunnel is located inside the mountain.

[Of course, our staff will be on hand to supervise you throughout your visit, and safety measures are in place, so please feel free to enjoy your trip.]

A thick layer of soft mats was laid under the bungee jumping platform.

The person riding on the Zipline is less about swinging across on their own and more about being completely strapped to it.

The rope net beneath the High-Altitude Bridge was steadily spread out, its mesh fine and dense.

The beams and pillars of the underground tunnel are engraved with stabilizing Runes of Sealing Jutsu, each one shimmering with a faint Chakra light.

Even though everyone knew that having Ninjas to save the day would be ideal, seeing the actual protective measures still put everyone at ease, and their initial fear dissipated somewhat.

The Envoys from the Land of Lightning were even eager to try out these dangerous projects.

[Our Production Crew will also regularly appear at Konoha Amusement Park. The Revised The Tale of the Heike is currently scheduled.]

[We will continue to release new productions and music, and we hope for your continued support.]

Famous scenes from the Spring Festival appeared all around us like a revolving lantern.

Wakako's eyes shone as if all the light in a tunnel had poured into her pupils.

Her knuckles turned white as she gripped Yuan Yusheng's sleeve, her lips parted slightly, her breath and heartbeat guided by the light and music in the tunnel.

When she saw the clip featuring Rei, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement and boasted to her husband about her favorite character.

Yuan Yusheng looked at her helplessly.

Oh, my wife is so lovely.

[Finally, please allow me to introduce the mascot of Konoha Amusement Park.]

[Kurama.]
