My older sister is Kushina

Night fell.

Uzumaki Hanamichi only slept for a little over two hours before getting up. The incident with the men in black last night took up a lot of time, and after returning, he studied the scrolls and sealing talismans. He didn't go to bed until almost five o'clock.

Yawning, Uzumaki Hanamichi walked out of the room.

The maid had already prepared breakfast: corn porridge, pancakes, eggs, and side dishes.

Living with Hanamichi Uzumaki, Kamikawa Tamako also got used to Chinese breakfasts.

Xiaoyuzi is really looking forward to it today. Last night, her master promised to take her to the Konoha Arena to watch the Ninja Art Exchange Conference. At the Midnight Diner, she listened to the diners talk a lot about the Ninja Art Exchange Conference, and she really wants to see it too.

After breakfast, Uzumaki Hanamichi took Tamako out.

The master and apprentice did not go directly to the Konoha Arena, but instead went to the Fourth Hokage's house first.

Minato Namikaze left home early in the morning.

When Uzumaki Hanamichi arrived at the Fourth Hokage's house, he met his older sister Kushina and immediately explained his purpose.

He planned to take Tamako with him to the arena along with her older sister Kushina.

Soon, the group headed to the arena.

However, Uzumaki Hanamichi's main body did not go; instead, a shadow clone of him went to the Hokage Building to meet with the ninja representatives and head to the arena together.

Today is the second day of the ninja exchange tournament. He has to fight at least one match, and if he's unlucky, he might have to fight two.

At the Konoha Arena, many Konoha villagers and ninjas had already taken their positions early on.

Compared to yesterday, the number of spectators today is no less than that.

The shadow clone of Uzumaki Hanamichi sat down in a corner with Tamako and her older sister Kushina.

Soon after, Mikoto Uchiha arrived with Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha.

Mikoto Uchiha sat down next to Kushina Uzumaki: "There seem to be even more spectators today."

Kushina Uzumaki: "Yes, today's battle should be even more exciting."

Mikoto Uchiha: "Hanamichi, you're here too!"

Uzumaki Hanamichi flashed a bright, sunny smile: "Good morning, Mikoto-neechan and Itachi!"

Uchiha Itachi: "Good morning, Flower Arrangement Master!"

Because Uchiha Shisui often brought Uchiha Itachi to the Midnight Diner, the little guy is now a regular customer there, and he's also an old acquaintance of Uzumaki Hanamichi.

Young Sasuke and young Naruto were glaring at each other.

Soon, Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi (the Third Hokage), along with representatives from Konoha's high-ranking officials and the two delegations, took their seats on the high platform.

Soon, a representative from Konoha's leadership announced the official start of the second day's ninjutsu exchange meeting.

The first match was still the group battle. The six ninja representatives who advanced yesterday were randomly drawn. However, today's draw removed the condition that ninjas from the same village could not fight each other, which means that the random draw could result in ninjas from the same village fighting each other.

The random draw for the genin group was completed quickly in front of everyone.

Konoha was a bit unlucky, as two of their ninja representatives were drawn into the same group for a battle, and they were the first group to go out. This meant that only one of the two genin representatives could advance.

The duel between the two began quickly.

The battle in the central area was quite intense. Although they were ninjas from the same village, everyone wanted to win and advance in this ninjutsu exchange. It was not only for personal honor, but also because the final winner would receive a generous reward.

The fight between the two lasted for nearly twenty minutes before it ended.

In the end, the Konoha genin named "Akagi" won the victory.

The second match was between a Cloud Village genin and a Kirigakure genin.

After a fierce battle, the Hidden Mist ninja barely managed to secure a victory.

The last pair consisted of a Konoha genin versus a Kumogakure genin.

Compared to the battle in the second group, the battle in the third group was significantly more intense.

Many Konoha spectators in the stands were secretly cheering for the Konoha genin. If the Konoha genin won this battle, Konoha would have two spots in the next round, which would give them a great chance to win the genin group.

In the end, the Konoha genin lived up to expectations and defeated the Kumogakure genin to advance.

The battle between the genin groups then came to an end.

Next up was the Chunin group's battle.

The Chunin group consists of two Chunin representatives each from Konoha, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure.

They quickly completed the draw.

All three matches were between ninjas from different villages, which was the result everyone was looking forward to.

Compared to the battles between the genin (lower-ranking ninja), the battles between the chunin (middle-ranking ninja) were much more intense.

The three matches lasted for more than an hour before they ended. In the end, one person from Konoha, one person from Kirigakure, and one person from Kumogakure advanced, while one person was eliminated.

A result that is barely acceptable to all parties.

After the Chunin group battles ended, the highly anticipated Jonin group showdown soon began.

Uzumaki Hanamichi and Uchiha Shisui, among others, quickly completed the draw.

The Konoha representative then announced the results of the draw, and to the dismay of the Konoha members, Uchiha Shisui drew the first group, and his opponent was Shimura Takuya.

Regarding the situation with the genin group, the two Konoha jonin representatives were drawn from the same clan, which means that one of the two needs to be eliminated.

Uzumaki Hanamichi drew the third group, and his opponent was a Cloud Village Jonin.

The second group consisted of Killer Bee and a Jonin from Kirigakure.

Soon, the first match began.

The battle between Uchiha Shisui and Shimura Takuya then began.

Shimura Takuya was extremely strong, and at the beginning of the match, he seemed to be able to suppress Uchiha Shisui.

However, after a fierce battle lasting more than ten minutes, Uchiha Shisui began to gradually turn the tide.

Ultimately, Shisui Uchiha gained the upper hand with his unparalleled Body Flicker Technique and the powerful Sharingan, a bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, and then defeated Takuya Shimura.

Thus, Takuya Shimura had no choice but to be eliminated.

In an inconspicuous spot in the stands, Danzo Shimura's face revealed a hint of coldness. Taku Shimura was one of his key protégés, and his defeat by Shisui Uchiha was somewhat of a setback for him and the Shimura clan.

Within the audience area, quite a few members of the Uchiha clan had come today, and upon seeing Uchiha Shisui's victory, they all showed varying degrees of joy.

Itachi Uchiha: "Shisui-nii is the strongest."

Mikoto Uchiha gave her son a gentle pat on the head: "Yes, Itachi will also become an excellent and great ninja."

After the battle between Uchiha Shisui and Shimura Takuya ended, the two players in the second battle quickly moved to the central battle area.

Kirabi looked relaxed.

The Kirigakure Jonin's expression was quite solemn. He had no chance of winning this battle. Yesterday, Killer Bee easily defeated Konoha's Sarutobi Toushi without using the power of the Eight-Tails. His strength was similar to Sarutobi Toushi's, so the possibility of him defeating Killer Bee was almost negligible. Of course, he did not give up. Battles are not simply a comparison of combat power. Sometimes, Genin can hunt down Chunin or even Jonin.
