Inside the Hokage Building in Konoha, the atmosphere was heavy, yet subtly tense.

Uchiha Yu stepped steadily into Tsunade's office, and instantly, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

Konoha Senior Advisor, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, instantly became wary upon seeing Uchiha Yu., their bodies tensing up involuntarily as if facing a formidable enemy, their eyes revealing defensiveness and scrutiny.

Meanwhile, Shizune, who was holding her Tonton, was overwhelmed by the mountain of files, her pen moving incessantly across the paper.

Tsunade sat behind her desk, her brows furrowed. Facing the documents in front of her, her face was full of exhaustion and helplessness. She simply nodded slightly, as if to say hello to Uchiha Yu.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Yu politely asked, "Lady Tsunade, you wanted to see me?"

Tsunade, signaling him to wait a moment. "Wait for me!" As she spoke, she suddenly raised her fist, her face showing the height of her frustration, and looked like she was about to smash it onto the table piled with documents in front of her.

Shizune reacted quickly, stepping forward to stop them, her voice tinged with anxiety. "Don't smash it! It'll take forever to clean up! It'll just make things worse!"

Tsunade, seething with anger, couldn't help but complain, "I'm so fed up! What's wrong with these clan leaders? They're all causing me trouble every now and then! Even when the clan Clan Leader and Clan Leader wife are arguing, they want me to judge! The job of Hokage is just too tedious!"

As she spoke, she rubbed her temples, trying to ease her tense nerves.

Shizune sighed helplessly and softly advised, "You should handle what you need to handle."

Uchiha Yu stood quietly to the side, waiting patiently.

Those ten minutes felt incredibly long.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura stood behind him, looking at his tall and straight back, and inexplicably felt a huge pressure coming towards them, making it hard for them to breathe.

The two exchanged a glance and saw unease in each other's eyes. Unable to bear this invisible pressure, they Teuchi and hurriedly took their leave.

After the two Senior Advisors left, Tsunade put away the files, rubbed her temples heavily, looked up at Uchiha Yu, and her expression became serious. "Yu, I called you here because of the Chunin Ninja Exams."

Tsunade leaned back in her chair, her expression grave, and slowly began to speak, "The situation is worse than I anticipated." She paused, then picked up a stack of letters from the table. "These are replies from various villages and countries. Take a look."

Uchiha Yu took the letter and quickly began to browse through it.

The letter from Sunagakure in the Land of Wind reads:

[Hmph, the Chunin Ninja Exams? It's nothing but a farce from your Konoha. We can participate, but don't expect us to abide by your ridiculous rules. If anyone dares to harm the Sand Village during the exams, don't blame us for being ruthless!]

The reply from Amegakure in the Land of Rain was:

We'll participate, but the Amegakure ninjas are too strong. Don't blame us if they injure your Konoha Ninja.

Iwagakure's reply was even more direct:

I'm giving you this face.

In addition, there were relatively polite replies from Kusagakure, Takigakure, Kumogakure Takigakure.

After reading these replies, Uchiha Yu couldn't help but frown. "The attitude of these villages is terrible. How can they be so rude?"

Tsunade raised her fist, but Shizune pressed it down again. Suppressing her anger, she said, "That's because these villages think Konoha is showing weakness, and that Konoha is worried they will invade Konoha! The Chunin Ninja Exams have always been a traditional activity to strengthen exchanges between villages. Even if two countries are at war, if they agree to take the exams, they should still start normally."

Uchiha Yu nodded, thinking to himself, "Isn't this just like the Olympus?"

Tsunade sighed helplessly, "The new generation of ninjas in Konoha who will participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams are almost lacking in both strength and experience."

She looked at Uchiha Yu, a hint of expectation in her eyes, "Yu, now you're the only one I can count on."

Uchiha Yu was slightly taken aback. "Are you serious?"

Tsunade shook her head. "We can't worry about that now. You are strong and are the most likely person in Konoha to stand out in the exam. This exam is not only about Konoha's honor, but also about our diplomatic relations with other villages."

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Konoha outside. "I know it's difficult to put so much pressure on you, but you are a member of the Uchiha Clan and have great power. You should do your part for the village."

"Hey! I can't help you with anything else. I'm really looking forward to it if you ask me to beat someone up! But I have a condition."

Tsunade turned around and looked at him. "What are the conditions?"

"I don't want to be Binding Vow too many rules. Since those villages don't take the rules seriously, I don't want to be tied down either."

"But I promise that I will not kill anyone unless my life is in danger."

Tsunade thought for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you. However, we should try to avoid unnecessary conflicts and resolve issues peacefully. The purpose of this exam is to demonstrate Konoha's strength and friendliness, not to start a war. I hope that through this Chunin Ninja Exams, the other villages will know that Konoha's current fighting strength is still quite good. It's better to take the initiative to demonstrate than to lose control after a war has started."

Uchiha Yu nodded. "Understood, I can't wait to beat them up!"

Tsunade gave a thumbs up. "Go for it, Yu! Especially those villages that are recovering poorly! Give them a good beating!"

Beneath the vast, boundless glaciers of the Arctic, after countless arduous explorations and salvage operations, Captain America Steve Rogers, along with the Tesseract containing immense energy, finally saw the light of day again.

Not long after, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., personally took Captain America back to bustling New York.

To help Steve get used to his new environment as quickly as possible, Nick Fury arranged for Black Widow Natasha Romanoff to temporarily team up with him.

Black Widow took out a tablet, intending to introduce some key figures to Captain America.

She tapped the screen lightly, and the first thing that appeared was a picture of Tony Stark.

"This is Tony Stark. He is the president of Stark Industries, a genius inventor, and the Superhero Iron Man. The high-tech armor he created gives him powerful Combat Power."

Black Widow paused at this point. "He is Howard Stark's son."

Steve looked intently at Tony's confident smile on the screen, nodded slightly, and remembered the name.

Then, the scene switched to Bruce Banner.

"Bruce Banner," Natasha continued, "Is a genius physicist who, when angry, transforms into the powerful Hulk, possessing superhuman strength and near-invincible defense, but can also cause immense destruction if his emotions get out of control."

Steve frowned. "Then why would you become my ally?"

"Because our enemy is stronger than ever before, we have no choice but to play a stronger card."

Natasha then quickly scrolled through a page that displayed Stephen Fang's information.

Steve immediately sensed something was amiss and asked, puzzled, "Why don't you introduce this person? He seems quite special."

Natasha's finger hovered over the screen. After a moment's hesitation, she swiped back from the page of Abomination to Stephen Fang's page.

"This person," her tone became somewhat serious, "Is called Stephen Fang. He is extremely powerful, possesses some mysterious powers, and can cast all sorts of magical spells."

Steve's eyes revealed curiosity and wariness. "Sounds impressive, so why are you holding back?"

Natasha sighed softly, "Because his power is uncontrollable and cannot be completely trusted, you just need to know that he is not easy to get along with. You must be extra careful when dealing with him."

Steve frowned, nodded seriously, and secretly made a mental note of this mysterious figure.

At the same time.

Inside S.H.I.E.L.D..'s secret base, all the researchers are conducting research on the Tesseract.

No one expected that danger was quietly approaching!

His signature green robe fluttered in the wind, and beneath his long, jet-black hair were a pair of eyes full of cunning and ambition!

It's Loki after he met Thanos!

The alarms blared instantly inside the base, and red warning lights flashed incessantly.

The agents drew their weapons and surrounded Loki.

However, as Loki waved his Mind Stone Scepter, an invisible energy wave spread out, and wherever it went, the agents' eyes gradually became vacant.

Hawkeye was not spared either.

Nick Fury fought his way out of the base and finally escaped. He took out his communication device and sent the information about Loki stealing the Tesseract and controlling Hawkeye to Black Widow.

Black Widow had just put away her tablet when she looked down and her expression instantly turned serious.

"Oh no, something's happened!"

The two had just gotten into the car and hadn't even had a chance to start the engine when suddenly, a team of unknown assassins rushed out from all directions, their weapons spitting fire, and a dense barrage of bullets rained down on their vehicle.

Black Widow reacted quickly, immediately starting the car. The tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground, and the car shot forward in an instant!

As Black Widow skillfully maneuvered the steering wheel, dodging pursuers behind her, she dialed a number.

After the call connected, she quickly tossed the phone to Captain America and shouted, "Here you go!"

Then, trying to keep her voice steady, she cried out into the phone, "Stephen! Help! Aliens are calling!"

Captain America was puzzled as to who this top agent, Natasha Romanoff, could value so highly.

Not long after, Stephen Fang's voice came from the other end of the phone. "What kind of alien exactly? Purple? Green? Or black?"

Black Widow accelerated to 200 miles per hour, leaving the agents chasing them far behind. Black Widow took a moment to reply, "They call themselves the God of Mischief!"

There was a silence of about ten seconds on the other end of the phone. Just when Captain America thought the other person had backed down, Stephen Fang's voice suddenly grew twice as loud. "I've been waiting for this kid for ages! This time I'm going to skin him alive! How dare he stand me up!"

"Beep beep beep".

The phone went dead. Captain America put the phone aside, still very curious, and said, "This Stephen, is he really that powerful? An alien? Are you sure? I don't think he has any muscles at all."

Black Widow swerved the steering wheel sharply, and the car had already arrived at the gate of Xavier's School. She jumped out of the car, while six bulletproof black Chevrolet SUVs that were chasing closely behind her had just arrived.

"Stephen!"

Black Widow suddenly shouted, and just as Captain America was about to raise his shield in front of Black Widow, a terrifying pressure suddenly swept through the entire area!

Those assassins who had just gotten out of the SUVs pushed open the car doors, their legs went weak, they foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground—without exception.

At that moment, Captain America looked up and saw the tall figure wielding his Ukaku in the sunlight!

Stephen Fong was backlit, so Black Widow and Captain America could only be seen as silhouettes of black figures.

A voice came from the sky. "Give me the coordinates, and I'll go capture Loki alive."
