Minato: Time for me to show off. NPC: You're all trash, practice more if you suck.

"Minato, how do you feel?"

"Quite good, actually. At least, this warm and comfortable environment is really nice. If I ever get the chance to retire, a place like this would be perfect for a quiet life."

"Then I hope your wish comes true."

"Haha, then I'll take that as a good omen."

Uchiha Qi and Minato Namikaze conversed across the game, bridging the gap between reality and the virtual world.

To the audience at the press conference, it looked like Uchiha Qi was talking to the projected image of Minato Namikaze, while Minato's actual body sat motionless on the stage, as if asleep.

The scene was truly bizarre and left people utterly amazed.

However, those with keen observational skills saw more, and it filled them with surprise—Minato Namikaze's reaction indicated that the Genjutsu Game world he was in felt incredibly real, at least in terms of sensory input, completely different from conventional genjutsu effects.

This Genjutsu Game was extraordinary. What would it truly feel like to enter it?

Curiosity arose, causing even those who were highly wary of the Genjutsu Game to feel an irresistible urge to try it out, even just a little.

And undoubtedly, Uchiha Qi had successfully conveyed his message through his interaction with Minato Namikaze.

Next, Uchiha Qi resumed his role as host and highlighted the unique feature of the Genjutsu Game to the audience: its unparalleled "realism," a "realism" that was infinitely close to the real world.

But despite this "realism," any damage sustained within the game would not translate to the real world.

Upon hearing this, ordinary people simply felt shock and imagined what the actual experience of playing the Genjutsu Game would be like. For the quick-witted Ninja, however, there was much more to consider.

Of course, what they thought of was also what the "beta" players like Minato Namikaze had considered. Those familiar with the Uchiha Clan were especially horrified, as a "realistic" genjutsu world was undoubtedly a divine technique for stimulating the Sharingan for the Uchiha Clan!

Some people with extensive intelligence resources were even more dismayed, guessing that perhaps the Uchiha Clan's research into using genjutsu to stimulate the Sharingan, which they had been diligently pursuing since the Warring States Period, had finally yielded significant results. This realistic genjutsu method, the Genjutsu Game, and the Uchiha were a perfect match!

Thinking this, these individuals suddenly understood, muttering to themselves that it was no wonder the Uchiha Clan could create the Genjutsu Game; only the Uchiha Clan could come up with something like this.

However, why would the Uchiha Clan bring out the Genjutsu Game and sell it publicly as a product? Shouldn't such a thing be kept strictly under wraps, unknown to outsiders, for the Uchiha Clan's greatest benefit?

Confusion, incomprehension, and doubt, all sorts of emotions surged forth.

In the Hokage's office, the three members of the Konoha F4, excluding the Pot Kage, were stimulated by the information they received through Anbu reports and direct observation of the scene using the Telescope Technique.

Mitokado Homura frowned deeply, his tone grave. "Hiruzen, our greatest fear has come true. The Uchiha Clan has mastered a Secret Technique that can stimulate the Sharingan. The Uchiha Clan's power is about to skyrocket."

"Even the cursed eye, which disappeared decades ago and was considered the Uchiha Clan's ultimate power, might reappear."

At this point, the advisor even showed a tendency to become like the Pot Kage, his expression growing darker. "Hiruzen, we cannot remain inactive. Otherwise, if the Uchiha Clan produces 'that eye' again, if a second Uchiha Madara appears, it would be disastrous."

Utatane Koharu also nodded in deep agreement, concurring with her old partner.

The psychological trauma left by Uchiha Madara on Konoha was too profound, and the Konoha F4 had truly seen Uchiha Madara, clearly understanding the immense terror he represented.

However, facing his friends' words, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. "Uchiha Madara isn't that easily produced. While the Mangekyo Sharingan is formidable, not every Uchiha who awakens it can become Uchiha Madara."

"Moreover, despite your worries, I'm quite pleased."

The two advisors looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in astonishment, while he smiled and took a puff from his pipe. "As you said, the Uchiha have showcased their research results in genjutsu, which makes us consider some frightening possibilities."

"But on the other hand, for the Uchiha Clan to not hide such an important secret, but to openly reveal it, and even share the effects of the Secret Technique with all of Konoha—isn't this the Uchiha Clan demonstrating their sincerity?"

These words left the two advisors stunned—indeed, the Uchiha Clan could have completely hidden this secret, waiting until their clan members awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan using the Secret Technique before launching a surprise attack. There was no need to expose this Secret Technique.

Even if the Uchiha Clan was arrogant, they were still Ninja. The Uchiha Clan could absolutely use such a hidden, surprise attack method.

Could it be...

Was the Uchiha Clan truly demonstrating sincerity?

Looking at his two friends lost in thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze returned to the crystal ball of the Telescope Technique, watching Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Qi reflected within, his mood light and joyful.

Because what was reflected there was undoubtedly the hope for a beautiful future for the village and the Uchiha, as he envisioned it!

At the press conference, after Uchiha Qi signaled to begin, Minato Namikaze started the game.

After the title "Fruit Ninja" appeared before him, Minato Namikaze saw the farm in front of him transform.

From the house behind the farmland, a proud Bratty Girl's voice rang out clearly, reaching the front and the ears of everyone at the press conference.

"What? Another weakling coming to die? Whatever, it's still good for a laugh."

"Alright, stranger, first familiarize yourself with the process—your goal is to cross the farm and come into the house."

"Now, you can choose the weapons you like to use, and then you can officially begin."

Along with these words, a weapon rack appeared before Minato Namikaze, displaying various common and uncommon Ninja weapons.

For example, Minato Namikaze's personal Flying Thunder God Three-pronged Kunai had automatically appeared on it, and he could choose a total of two weapons.

Without much thought, the Flying Thunder God Three-pronged Kunai was a must, and then he also chose a Katana.

Once the two weapons were selected, the weapon rack disappeared, and a forward arrow appeared.

Having experience playing "Homecoming," encountering this now was not surprising. Minato Namikaze immediately hung the Katana at his waist, holding the three-pronged kunai to test his current body. He found that his senses and physical strength were identical to those in the real world. Clearly, in this game, players were meant to embody themselves, not someone else.

Then, just as the prepared Minato Namikaze began to move forward, a tree suddenly grew in the farm ahead.

A cherry tree, and it was alive.

This might sound strange, but it becomes clear if one simply describes the tree as cartoonishly anthropomorphic, with the outline of a human face.

Because it was cartoonish, it wasn't scary at all; in fact, it was quite amusing.

However, the human face on the cherry tree showed anger, roaring, "Invaders must die!" before swinging its branches, flinging cherries directly at Minato Namikaze.

These cherries were incredibly fast, like bullets, reaching Minato Namikaze in the blink of an eye and passing right through his body.

The audience in the real world gasped at this sight, but their gasps quickly turned to exclamations of awe, as the figure of Minato Namikaze, having been pierced, vanished.

He reappeared three meters away.

Civilians and lower-ranked Ninja couldn't understand what had happened, but those with a bit more insight knew it was the effect of the Body Flicker Technique.

However, the Body Flicker Technique, as a Ninjutsu for ultra-high-speed short-distance movement, usually allows for at least a dozen meters of movement. Elite Jonin like Minato Namikaze could move dozens of meters, so moving only three meters seemed quite strange.

Only those familiar with Minato Namikaze or who had some knowledge of him knew that this was his unique ability: to control the Body Flicker Technique to an incredible degree, using it as a simple dodge skill.

It was precisely because of Minato Namikaze's extraordinary spatial perception talent and control that he was able to learn the Space-Time Ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique, and even surpass the Second Hokage, its creator, in its application.

Minato Namikaze then faced a new barrage of cherries from the cherry tree. Instead of retreating, he advanced, directly throwing his Three-pronged Kunai.

As the Three-pronged Kunai reached the cherry tree, Minato Namikaze suddenly vanished from his spot and reappeared next to the tree. His Katana was already drawn, and in the next instant, a cold flash of light severed the cherry tree.

The entire process was incredibly swift, as if he had transformed into a Yellow Flash. By the time the audience, including even powerful Ninja, reacted, Minato Namikaze had already completed his cool sheathing motion.

Flying Thunder God Technique + extreme killing technique—this was Minato Namikaze's "simple and unadorned" fighting style.

In a trance, the audience seemed to understand why Uchiha Qi called Minato Namikaze the Yellow Flash.

And so, cheers, shouts, and exclamations of awe erupted at that moment. Minato Namikaze, already somewhat famous in Konoha, saw his popularity surge even further, and the nickname Yellow Flash was destined to be permanently associated with him from that day forward.

Then, just as Minato Namikaze was having his moment of glory, the scene within the game suddenly changed.

As the scenery inside shifted, Minato Namikaze was unexpectedly teleported back to the entrance.

Immediately after, before people could figure out what was happening, the voice of a Bratty Girl NPC came from the house behind the farm.

"Not bad, challenger. You actually managed to cut down my cherry tree so easily."

"Well, based on the strength you've shown, I'll take this as a challenge to me, and I'll show you the highest level of fruit power."

"Ultimate Hell Mode, activate!"

As the Bratty Girl NPC's arrogant words echoed, Minato Namikaze saw the farm in front of him suddenly grow larger, and then the entire farm sprouted various fruit plants.

Aside from cherries, watermelons, dragon fruits, peaches, pears, pomegranates, kiwis, and all sorts of other fruits grew, all equally anthropomorphic.

Then, these angry-looking fruits collectively attacked Minato Namikaze.

It was a truly overwhelming, barraging attack, giving Minato Namikaze no thought of resisting head-on. He immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to dodge.

However, another absurd situation arose: the fruits weren't mere "bullets." Instead, different fruits possessed elemental attributes like fire, ice, and hurricanes, and some could even cause large explosions.

For example, giant watermelons were like catapult projectiles; upon landing, they would explode directly, with an explosion radius that could affect an area thirty meters in diameter.

And each time, dozens of watermelons would attack simultaneously, raining down in a comprehensive, saturated strike.

So, Minato Namikaze died.

He died from a map-wide attack formed by thousands of fruits attacking simultaneously.

Although theoretically, Minato Namikaze's speed should have allowed him to escape, the problem was that in the game, his range of movement was restricted to the farm area.

The result was that the fastest Ninja in the Ninja World struggled under the terrifying, comprehensive saturated attack, barely surviving for one minute with all his might, only to finally be blown up, thus giving up the "first blood" of his streaming career.

As Minato Namikaze died, the unseen coward NPC let out a mocking voice, oozing with derision.

"You're trash, trash! Practice more if you're bad. I look forward to your next challenge, trash~"

Their fists hardened!

The fists of everyone in the audience hardened.

Although they couldn't see the NPC's face, and her voice was actually quite cute, at that moment, everyone was filled with the urge to brutally punch that Bratty Girl NPC.
