What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?

"How is it? Minato, are you nervous?"

Behind the stage of the grand hall, Uchiha Kai grinned widely, patting the stiffened shoulder of Namikaze Minato, his malicious amusement impossible to hide.

Minato, teased by his good friend, could only smile helplessly. "Yeah, who would've thought so many people would show up today? Honestly, I kind of regret agreeing to this. I thought the so-called press conference would only have a few hundred people, but who knew five thousand seats would be filled?"

"And with all the staff inside, the total number of people must be over five thousand."

"The last Ninja World War only had a few thousand of us from Konoha sent to the battlefield."

By the end of his speech, Minato's tone grew more helpless, feeling like he'd gotten on a pirate ship.

At first, agreeing to help Uchiha Kai with the promotion, besides the various benefits Kai promised and the future prospects, was also to help a friend. But now, Kai had turned it into a situation with thousands of people.

Just thinking about playing games in front of thousands and live-streaming the process to the audience left Minato feeling immense pressure and anxiety.

After all, at only nineteen, Minato hadn't experienced such a grand spectacle. Though he was naturally calm under pressure, suddenly being the center of attention for thousands still made him incredibly nervous.

Kai, seeing Minato's helplessness, simply smiled and said, "Relax, relax, I already told you the process beforehand. Just follow the plan and go on stage to perform."

"Besides, this is a good opportunity, isn't it? You said your dream is to become Hokage. When that day comes, you'll have to face all of Konoha, plus the visitors from other villages who come to watch your inauguration ceremony."

"Now, you're just getting a little preview of what it feels like to be in the spotlight."

Minato chuckled helplessly. "Kai, you really have a lot of faith in me. I do want to be Hokage, but it's just a thought for now. There are so many people more qualified than me to become Hokage before me."

Uchiha Kai smiled meaningfully: "Theoretically, that's true, but a story needs logic, while reality doesn't. Who knows, maybe in the future, your strength will suddenly skyrocket, and at the same time, a stage will appear that perfectly suits you, allowing you to achieve feats others can't reach, bypassing everyone and directly becoming Hokage."

Naturally, Minato Namikaze didn't believe these words and thought Uchiha Kai was just trying to comfort him.

In his heart, he hoped to become Hokage around the age of thirty, just like the Third Hokage. He would have been content with that, but it was clear that the time for his personal expectations was still far off.

In fact, this was the thought of most people in Konoha who knew Minato.

Konoha was strong, with three generations of ninjas, old, middle-aged, and young. Although Minato had already shown potential to be Hokage, he was still just a nineteen-year-old young man, far from becoming Hokage. He still needed to gradually build his experience.

No one could have predicted that this young man, born as a commoner ninja, would shake the entire ninja world in the upcoming Third Great Ninja War and, like a rocket, become the youngest Hokage in history—surpassing even future generations.

Uchiha Kai, of course, wouldn't "spoil" the story. Even if he did, others would just think of him as crazy.

So, Uchiha Kai quickly changed the subject: "Minato, remember today."

Minato Namikaze: "Hm?"

Uchiha Kai's gaze shifted to the center of the venue: "Today will be a day of great significance for Konoha and even the entire ninja world. Because, starting today, the Genjutsu game will truly be introduced into this world, becoming something that will profoundly impact it."

"So, Minato, remember this day! Because we are making history!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kai's words, Minato's eyes widened slightly, and his head buzzed a little.

Then, this future "Yellow Flash" seemed to finally realize the meaning behind today's press conference, and for a moment, it felt somewhat surreal.

But... it didn't feel bad.

At once, Minato smiled, nodded gently, and raised his left fist.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kai raised his right fist, gently clinking it with Minato's, then they shared a knowing smile.

Best friends, everything is understood without words.

Finally, as the clock struck 9 AM, the time for the press conference had officially arrived.

As the professional band hired by the Uchiha clan began to play a flashy and avant-garde tune that seemed out of place to the ninja world, Uchiha Kai, dressed in a special custom black host suit, walked out from backstage under the gaze of over five thousand people. 

He made his way to the high platform in the center of the venue, his figure appearing on the white stage emblazoned with the Uchiha clan's symbol.

Most of the people attending the event were just there for the spectacle. They had bought tickets because it was the first grand event hosted by the Uchiha clan, and the prices for the general seats weren't expensive.

At this moment, many still had no idea what the release event was really about.

However, when the avant-garde music played and a strangely dressed Uchiha took the stage, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him.

In that instant, Uchiha Kai caught the eyes of many.

Although his black host suit didn't quite match the current customs of Konoha, he looked truly handsome in it. It didn't give off a "punk" vibe at all; instead, it was well-tailored and dignified.

Many wondered where they could buy such a suit and whether the Uchiha clan's shop sold them.

If they did, some were even willing to buy one for themselves or their husbands, sons, or boyfriends.

Among those who wanted to buy, it wasn't just men. Many women were also interested.

Amidst the atmosphere, people started speculating about Uchiha Kai's identity.

Only the ninjas recognized Uchiha Kai—an unconventional Uchiha who, in his early years, was regarded as ordinary.

But this only raised more questions—how did Uchiha Kai, who had been seen as unremarkable, manage to rise above others in the Uchiha clan and become the host of such an important event?

As this thought crossed their minds, the ninjas shifted their gaze to the other Uchiha in the crowd, eager to see their reactions.

As a result, what they saw was the Uchiha clan's calmness, and some even looked at Uchiha Kai below with fervent admiration and worshipful gazes.

In an instant, the ninjas understood that Uchiha Kai was the chosen representative of the Uchiha clan's will, the one selected by the entire clan to lead.

It was at this moment, while everyone's thoughts varied, that Uchiha Kai walked to the center of the stage, beginning his career as the host of the press conference, officially announcing the start of the event!
