Left 4 Dead (Ninja World Version)

A gift for Konoha?

Yes, it's a gift for all of Konoha!

Watching Minato Namikaze in the "thrilling battle" on the projected screen, the ninjas present and absent all nodded in agreement, understanding why the Uchiha Clan would hold such a large press conference to promote the Genjutsu Game.

Because Minato Namikaze entered the Genjutsu Game in his original state, which means other players can do the same.

Similarly, once a game challenge begins, all of a player's battles are a refinement of their combat experience and skills, and a test of their strength that doesn't require concern for life or death, yet allows them to go all out.

This is...

A divine tool for cultivation!

This is something no ninja with any ambition could refuse!

Moreover, this is not an exaggeration but a concrete reality—those with exceptional eyesight, like Hiruzen Sarutobi, could clearly see Minato Namikaze's strength improving as he fully immersed himself in the game's battles.

It wasn't just his cultivation, but his combat techniques, his application of his own strength, and the composition of his moves—everything related to 'skill' was improving, and his practical combat experience was skyrocketing.

While this was certainly due to Minato Namikaze's talent, allowing him to progress rapidly, it also reflected the reality of peaceful times where a lack of major battles caused ninjas' strength to improve slower than during wartime.

The Genjutsu Game, Fruit Ninja, to some extent, replaced the role of a battlefield, allowing ninjas who entered to challenge themselves and face the terrifying scenes they would only encounter during a Ninja World War.

Thus, the ninjas were excited, even exhilarated. Every ninja with any ambition stared intently at Minato Namikaze in the Genjutsu Game, wishing they could instantly swap places with him and experience such a passionate battle!

In the audience, Shikaku Nara had completely shed his previous laziness, replaced by a serious expression. "A gift for Konoha? Indeed, there's no doubt this is a gift, one that no ninja could possibly refuse."

"If used well, the strength of our Konoha ninjas will undoubtedly see a massive surge. The gift the Uchiha Clan has presented is something that no one in Konoha, high or low, can refuse. And even if we know there's a selfish motive behind the Uchiha's generosity, we must accept this open scheme."

His slow recitation clarified the core purpose of this press conference and the game, at least as he interpreted it, and he was also explaining it to his two good friends.

The other two members of Ino-Shika-Cho also nodded in deep agreement, indicating their understanding and marveling at the Uchiha's current display of magnanimity and methods, which completely overturned their preconceived notions of the Uchiha.

In fact, at this very moment, the Uchiha Clan themselves were in shock, because even they didn't realize that the second Genjutsu Game Uchiha Qi created would be like this.

One by one, the Uchiha grew excited. They inherently craved power, and now, witnessing something that could enhance their strength firsthand, they naturally became instantly eager.

Of course, their level of surprise wasn't as intense as that of outsiders.

Firstly, the Uchiha believed this was a Secret Technique belonging to the Uchiha, and now it was being shared with the village, even if it was through a sales model, which felt somewhat dissatisfying.

Secondly, the Uchiha had already spread information about the Genjutsu Game, and even if only a portion of the Uchiha knew the truth and had experienced it, they already had a basic impression of the Genjutsu Game.

It was only natural that the Uchiha had mixed feelings now.

However, with the entire Uchiha, including hardliners, moderates, and neutral high-ranking members, fully supporting Uchiha Qi, the Uchiha could only comply.

In fact, the current Uchiha high command was ecstatic, because they had realized what Uchiha Qi meant when he said the new game was a gift for the entire Uchiha.

This wave of prestige for the Uchiha might even surpass what they could gain from fighting a Ninja World War with all their might.

It's stable!

This time, it's truly stable!

The Uchiha high-ranking members, also watching from a special seating area backstage at the venue, felt their mouths twitch more than an AK's recoil.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage Building, the Konoha F4 had differing reactions as they observed this through the Telescope Technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled with contentment, while the other two members of Konoha F4 remained silent, their expressions complex.

Finally, Mitokado Homura sighed, "I never imagined the Uchiha Clan would do something like this. Honestly, it's very unsettling. Hiruzen, why do you think the Uchiha suddenly became so enlightened and broad-minded all at once?"

"That's because of Uchiha Qi! And do you really believe this is the Uchiha Clan's goodwill? No, this is actually their scheme—they are buying off all the ninjas of Konoha!"

A cold voice rang out, but it wasn't the Third Hokage speaking; it came from the doorway—Shimura Danzo had entered.

Although he and Hiruzen Sarutobi had parted ways unpleasantly a few days prior, the individuals involved didn't truly care about such things. After all, nominally, everything was for Konoha, just in different ways.

Shimura Danzo: "We must immediately stop the Uchiha Clan. We absolutely cannot let them achieve their evil ambitions!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, then deeply gazed at Shimura Danzo and said gravely, "Danzo, I once thought your attitude toward the Uchiha was inheriting our master's will, but now it seems your prejudice against the Uchiha runs too deep."

"Indeed, I also believe the Uchiha Clan undoubtedly has selfish motives for doing this. But that's normal, isn't it? Which Ninja Clan in Konoha doesn't have its own selfish motives?"

"Even our own clans are like that, aren't they? The key is whether this selfishness harms Konoha."

"And now, the Genjutsu Game the Uchiha Clan has presented is both a selfish act and a display of sincerity to all of Konoha; it is entirely beneficial to Konoha."

"Given that, what we need to do is not to stop them, but to support them!"

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo's expression became very unpleasant, even colder.

However, this time, the Darkness of Konoha said nothing more. He remained silent, then simply left the Hokage's office.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two paid it no mind, continuing to watch the scene through the Telescope Technique.

What the three didn't know was that after Danzo left, he immediately returned to his Root base and summoned Root ninjas to give them orders.

Root then acted on its own without the full knowledge of other Konoha residents. Clearly, Shimura Danzo believed his good friend was too dogmatic in his handling of the Uchiha matter this time, and as the Darkness of the Ninja World, he would ambush the Uchiha in his own way.

"Hiruzen, you are too naive, and you are old! You have forgotten that Master said the Uchiha are an inherently evil clan that needs to be properly controlled."

"And this time, you have chosen to let the Uchiha run wild. You have betrayed Master's dying wish! So, from now on, it falls to me to carry out Master's dying wish."

In the dim Root base, the Darkness of the Ninja World murmured, and in his single remaining eye, besides the coldness, a flame called ambition burned.

After all, among them, the Second Hokage's disciples, inheriting their master's dying wish signified a direct connection to the Hokage position.

The official announcement part of the press conference was over.

But the hands-on experience session that followed was just beginning.

The staff, who had been prepared beforehand, immediately sprang into action, dismantling the high platform venue and redecorating the area. In just twenty minutes, the large central space was completely transformed.

One by one, game demo stations were revealed. These were for playing the two games currently available.

However, in the very center, a large gaming station remained empty. It wasn't immediately opened after being set up. Instead, it was announced that this station would only open in the afternoon, and it wouldn't feature the two existing games, but rather a trial version of a completely new game.

Its name was…

Left 4 Dead.

Also known as…

Left 4 Dead.

Its unique features also made people very curious and expectant.

Because, according to the official staff, this was a brand-new Genjutsu Game that could be played by four people together, representing completely new technology!

Furthermore, unlike games like Fruit Ninja, which were specifically designed for ninjas, this new game could also be played by ordinary people!

Please recommend, follow, and collect. Thank you all.
