The Snow and Ice Exhibition Draws Near / Uchiha Shingen's Big Life Event

Uchiha Shingen only had eyes for the Chakra circuits within the Third Kazekage Human Puppet.

He reviewed it again and again until he firmly remembered every condensation and flow of Chakra, as well as the changes and fusion processes of Chakra properties.

Then he dispelled the Genjutsu.

Everything from the Chakra training room reappeared before my eyes.

Standing up from the tatami mat, Uchiha Shingen walked to the edge of the pit and then clasped his hands together.

The dazzling Hand Seals are one of the typical characteristics of Ninjutsu performed by ninjas, but with the improvement of Chakra control, the reduction of Hand Seals is an inevitable trend.

In the end, it all comes down to a single hand seal, the purpose of which is to extract Chakra; the most common form is hands clasped together.

You can also use a single hand gesture, but the effect is not as good as putting both hands together in prayer.

With Uchiha Shingen's hands clasped together, his Chakra was refined and used with remarkable efficiency.

His Chakra split into two streams in the shortest amount of time, completing earth and wind nature transformations respectively, and was released from the soles of his feet, entering the pit below.

A splashing sound came from the pit.

Something is rising from the bottom.

Upon hearing this voice, Uchiha Shingen smiled.

The Sand Magnet Release is complete!

As if to confirm his idea, with a loud bang, a cloud of yellow sand shot out of the pit, rising high onto the roof like a fountain, before slowly falling back down.

Chapter Two: The Approaching Ice and Snow Exhibition

The second Uchiha Ice and Snow Exhibition has finally been officially launched with great fanfare.

At the site of the first event, staff have already begun setting up.

Without a doubt, this time it's for real, there won't be any delays.

The Uchiha Clan failed to keep their promise to hold an event every year. Leaf Village has been in constant turmoil ever since the Nine-Tails incident, and Uchiha Shingen, the main player of the Ice and Snow Exhibition, is always running around.

So everyone silently concluded that when the Uchiha Clan stopped breaking their promises, peace would truly arrive, because Uchiha Shingen would stop fighting everywhere.

Now that it's a new year, everyone in Konoha is looking forward to this ice and snow exhibition with high hopes for the coming year.

The construction of the exhibition venue was not kept secret from the public; it was all out in the open. Some fans went to see it and discovered that they had even set up a stage, saying that there would be a play to watch.

The news spread quickly throughout the village, and everyone was excited and satisfied.

As expected of Master Shingen, his inspiration never runs dry, and he certainly won't disappoint everyone.

The young women on the shopping street are dressed even more beautifully, eagerly anticipating the Tenten.

Unfortunately, Master Shingen is said to be so engrossed in artistic creation that he has not yet appeared.

The young women felt regretful but also deeply moved, realizing that men who are dedicated to their work are indeed the most handsome!

The business owners were also disappointed, as they had hoped to learn from the master.

Everyone knows that Uchiha Shingen was exceptionally skilled at business.

For example, everyone used to call them teahouses. But one time, while drinking, Uchiha Shingen gave them a lecture, saying that they weren't actually involved in prostitution, but rather taverns! Places to drink and watch dances! Although they got a bit drunk, it wasn't really like that after all.

The history and foundation of the ninja village destined it to be impossible for the sex trade to exist there.

Everything was done to strengthen the ninja army. Recruiting civilians was to expand the number of civilian ninjas, establishing a free trade system was to guide the commercial resources of the Land of Fire to meet the material needs of the villagers, and allowing a certain degree of nightlife was to meet the spiritual needs of the villagers.

But everything has its limits, and the boundaries of Leaf Village's entertainment venues were largely established during the era of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.

Karaoke and dancing are fine; after all, women love beauty and men love women—it's a basic need. But if someone dares to organize that kind of activity, they'll be waiting to be offered "warmth" (a euphemism for sexual favors).

At that time, the Police Force had not yet been established, and this matter was handled by the then-director-general.

That Kage was a notorious scumbag in the Leaf Village ninja circle, but in the eyes of the villagers at the time, he was a super nice guy. Any vibrant social organization that he discovered would not survive the day.

During the Third Hokage's era, Hidden Leaf Village experienced a period of rapid commercial development. Even so, the red line was not loosened. Now, as a heavyweight figure in Leaf Village, the merchants certainly wouldn't just listen to what Uchiha Shingen said.

Therefore, the commercial streets are much more standardized than before.

The Hokage Building was satisfied with all of this.

Their opinion of Uchiha Shingen has risen even higher. Uchiha Shingen's private life used to be a point of contention, but now that the higher-ups are getting to know him better, they've discovered that he's actually more upright than anyone else at heart.

Oh, there's still one thing that's not quite right: he has a particular fondness for teasing his own family patriarch.

Uchiha Fugaku was probably the most approachable and relatable Hokage assistant in the hearts of the villagers since the founding of Leaf Village.

In the memories of the elders like Sarutobi Hiruzen, it was Senju Muzoku the old man. In this respect, he was a little inferior to Uchiha Fugaku, because the villagers at that time had more respect and love for Senju Muzoku.

Unlike Uchiha Fugaku, who could simply set up a table in the middle of the street and shout "Serve me pen and ink!" and everyone on the street would be willing to play with him.

Her approachability is truly off the charts.

As the official opening date of the ice and snow exhibition draws near, the Uchiha Clan is becoming increasingly busy.

As the organizer, Uchiha Shingen spent most of his time, apart from necessary training, discussing plans with a group of clansmen in Tenten small, secluded room.

Meanwhile, more and more rumors began to circulate.

For example, one very important point is that Uchiha Shingen was looking for a voice actor.

At first, no one knew what it meant, but later they found out it referred to voice actors.

Although it's unclear what they were dubbing for, a large number of people actually went to the Police Force to volunteer.

In short, Hidden Leaf Village hasn't had this kind of joyful atmosphere for a long time.

Even before the ice and snow exhibition officially started, it had already met the expectations of the Hokage Building.

Namikaze Minato was in a very good mood.

As someone who knows the inside story of voice acting, he said that Uchiha Shingen is really too upright, and this program is really too good.

His only regret is that, as an important character in the drama, the character himself has already parted ways with Leaf Village.

This made him very distressed.

But thinking of another person brought him comfort.

This might help the child get through this, since nothing is better than the villagers' approval.

Isn't this the root cause of everything?

Looking at the documents on the table, Namikaze Minato, for once, wanted to slack off.

He wanted to practice his voice so he could get into character better during rehearsals, and he was also recalling his state of mind at the time.

In the words of Uchiha Shingen, voice acting is not simply about dubbing, but about conveying emotions to the audience.

This is a truly great thing.

It's also his responsibility as Hokage!

From today onwards, stop calling him Hokage, call him Leaf Village's strongest voice actor!

You know, this thing is going to be awarded later. If I don't win an award, won't I be scorned when I get home?

"Knock knock..." A knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Come in."

Namikaze Minato said.

The door opened, Uchiha Shingen's head popped out.

Seeing Namikaze Minato's obvious slacking off, Uchiha Shingen felt relieved and walked in, carrying a large stack of manuscripts.

"Lord Hokage, what do you think of the manuscript?"

"Shingen, let's look at it tonight." Namikaze Minato had just thought about slacking off, but seeing such a thick stack of manuscripts, he felt he should finish his work first.

"I don't have time tonight, I need to set up the stage," Uchiha Shingen said, then handed over the script. "Don't worry, it'll be quick."

You said the same thing yesterday...

Namikaze Minato thought for a moment, then took the manuscript and began to read it.

This is the eighteenth revised version.

Namikaze Minato imagined himself behind the stage curtain, immersing himself in the role.

By the time he finished reading, Uchiha Shingen was sitting on the sofa in his office, having already finished a pot of tea.

"Shouldn't this be changed?" Namikaze Minato sat down on the sofa, pointing out the jarring aspect he'd felt after the immersive experience. "This is too awkward, the rendering is overdone."

"Lord Hokage, none of our viewers participated in that battle, and with so many villagers involved, some necessary embellishment and simplification were needed... Oh, this was a bit overdone. Let's revise it."

The two began their serious discussion, and before they knew it, it was getting dark outside.

Chapter 3 Major Events in Uchiha Shingen's Life

In the Hokage's office, after painstakingly revising the manuscript, Uchiha Shingen and Namikaze Minato realized that it was getting dark.

Namikaze Minato muttered a curse under his breath, glancing back at the formidable thickness of documents on his desk, his mood turning somber.

Ugh! My wife said there was a surprise tonight!

This is it, we're doomed.

Uchiha Shingen was quite satisfied; he felt that with these revisions, the script was good enough.

Rehearsals can begin tonight.

"Lord Hokage, how about..." He was about to extend an invitation when he saw Namikaze Minato.

"Lord Hokage, why don't you use Shadow Clone to process documents?"

Please show some respect for the Shadow Clone Ninjutsu; Senju Tobirama rarely used his original body to approve documents.

Who Tenten on the main body of a document approval program?

Before Uchiha Shingen arrived, he saw Kushina Uzumaki come out of a lingerie store, whose flagship products were various "decisive series".

Don't ask him how he knows; every man has a little secret.

Originally, Uchiha Shingen wanted Namikaze Minato to use Shadow Clone to accompany him to rehearsals, but now he has given up on that idea and thinks it's better for Minato to develop the habit of using Shadow Clone to review documents first.

"Sigh, I think it's more reassuring to do it myself."

"Alright, but I have a personal suggestion: Lord Hokage, you should go home on time today and leave the Shadow Clone here." With that, Uchiha Shingen took his precious manuscript, said goodbye to Namikaze Minato, and left.

Now that we're more familiar with each other, we don't always use respectful pronouns like "you" anymore.

Unless it's in a public setting.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Shingen returned to his clan's territory first, intending to call Haku along.

For some reason, Sakurako and Haku, the siblings, applied to the Uchiha Clan to adopt the Uchiha Clan surname, and their application was approved at the clan meeting.

Aside from Uchiha Shingen's influence, the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai itself played a crucial role in this.

The Uchiha Clan didn't initially think much of Ice Release, until Uchiha Shingen used Ice Release to unleash a powerful attack in the Nine-Tails Night.

Everyone welcomed the siblings' formal joining of the Uchiha Clan.

Although the siblings' actions were somewhat unexpected by Uchiha Shingen, it was their own choice, and Uchiha Shingen respected it—of course he wouldn't stop them; this was the best outcome.

Therefore, Uchiha Shingen is now taking Bai very seriously, as he is now a true direct disciple.

The best way to supervise a disciple's practice is to let him be influenced by what he sees and hears, and to integrate practice into his life.

How did Uchiha Shingen manage to have all his Ice Release with a simple clap of his hands? He got it by participating in the first Ice and Snow Exhibition.

He would teach Haku the Sand Magnet Release if Haku had the aptitude for it. He would also teach any other children in the clan who could learn it in the future. But before that, he planned to let everyone see his new release technique.

Anyone can add something to sand.

Uchiha Shingen's Chakra indeed cannot generate magnetism; it naturally absorbs metallic substances from the earth.

But that doesn't matter. The environment in the Land of Wind is so unique that the Iron Sand Technique has become so prevalent. It's wishful thinking for the Third Kazekage to go to the Land of Fire and try to create Iron Sand anytime, anywhere.

This is the limitation of the Iron Sand Technique.

However, techniques that are extremely dependent on the environment are not good.

The good thing is the Sand Magnet Release itself.
