My older sister is Kushina

Wolf Fang's victory can be said to have brought a perfect end to Konoha's ninjutsu exchange meeting. Of course, this is for the Konoha people. However, the people from the two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure were not so relaxed. Especially the Kirigakure delegation. No Kirigakure ninja representative won the final victory in the Jonin, Chunin and Genin groups. This not only made Kirigakure lose face, but also, according to the prior agreement, they had to present a top-level ninja tool. It was a double loss.

The Cloud Village envoy was equally frustrated. He had thought that with Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, appearing, the final winner of the Jonin group would be a sure thing. However, he did not expect the Konoha werewolves to be so powerful, even defeating Killer Bee in his half-tailed beast form. Although the Chunin group ninja representative won, the most important Jonin group match was lost.

According to the pre-arranged plan, Kumogakure sent Killer Bee to show off, but now he has been intimidated, as Konoha's strength is far greater than they expected.

On the high platform, Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a gentle smile. He was pleased to see Wolf Fang win; it was a victory for Konoha. This ninjutsu exchange had ultimately demonstrated Konoha's strength to the two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure, while also boosting the confidence of the Konoha people. To a certain extent, it had also increased the village's cohesion, which was a very good result.

Minato Namikaze was one of the more relaxed members of the group. Wolf Fang's victory was not only very beneficial to Konoha, but also greatly helpful to him as the new generation Hokage. This victory undoubtedly made Wolf Fang famous in Konoha. In the eyes of the Konoha leaders, Wolf Fang was someone they strongly recommended, which naturally had a very positive effect on him.

In the central battle area, Uzumaki Hanamichi and Killer Bee quickly returned to the seating area for the ninja representatives.

Meanwhile, in a secluded spot on a high ground on the edge of Konoha, two figures gazed into the distance toward the Konoha Arena.

The two were dressed in long black robes with red cloud patterns.

A person wearing an orange mask.

The other person was quite strange; a protective garment resembling a pitcher plant extended from his black robe with red clouds, half-open and covering a head.

One side of its head is black, and the other side is white.

The man with the black and white hair showed a hint of helplessness and said, "It seems your plan has failed again!"

The man in the orange mask only revealed one eye, and that eye had a blood-red pupil and a three-tomoe shape, which was the Sharingan, the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan.

The man in the orange mask's eyes flickered: "So what if I failed? I'll destroy Konoha sooner or later."

The man with a black-and-white mind: "It's up to you, just don't forget our plan."

Orange-masked man: "Alright, we should go."

Suddenly, the black tomoe in the blood-red pupils of the orange-masked man's Sharingan rapidly changed, and at the same time, a spatial force arose abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, the man in the orange mask and the man with the black and white head vanished.

After the battle between Wolf Fang and Killer Bee ended, the Konoha representative in charge of the ninjutsu exchange meeting quickly gave a speech summarizing the meeting. He then presented two scrolls and a ninja sword, which were the rewards for the ninjutsu exchange meeting that Konoha, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure had agreed upon beforehand.

The ninjutsu scrolls provided by Konoha and Kumogakure did not contain ordinary ninjutsu, but forbidden ninjutsu. Kirigakure also provided a top-tier ninja tool.

According to the pre-determined plan, the two ninjutsu scrolls and ninja tools will be directly distributed to the final winners of the Jonin, Chunin, and Genin groups. As for who will receive the ninjutsu scrolls and who will receive the ninja tools, a random lottery will be held.

Uzumaki Hanamichi, along with the representatives of the Chunin group, the Cloud Village ninja, and the Genin group's Akagi, quickly ascended the high platform, where they drew lots under the supervision of the Konoha high-ranking representative.

The rewards for the three were quickly determined.

Whirlpool Flower Path received reward number three.

The third reward is a top-tier ninja tool from Kirigakure, a ninja sword that is typically over three feet long.

Soon, Uzumaki Hanamichi obtained the ninja sword.

The ninja sword is named "Reigetsu" (Cold Moon). The ninja tool itself is not only extremely sharp, but it also has water-style attack effects. It was made by a ninja tool master from Kirigakure, who is said to have participated in the forging of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure.

The Cloud Village ninja from the Chunin group and Akagi from the Genin group each obtained a scroll of a forbidden technique.

With everyone in the arena as witnesses, the ninjutsu exchange finally came to a close.

After the ninjutsu exchange meeting ended, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with other high-ranking representatives, were the first to leave the platform, followed by the crowd in the arena who also left in small groups.

Uzumaki Hanamichi also left the Konoha Arena soon after.

Congratulations, Captain!

As soon as Uzumaki Hanamichi stepped out of the arena, he encountered several members of the first squad of the Dark Division. They greeted him and offered their congratulations.

After chatting with several captains, the group headed to the Dark Division building together.

Although the ninja exchange meeting concluded successfully, the first squad of the Anbu still had many tasks to complete, and the surveillance mission of the two delegations could not be neglected.

Uzumaki Hanamichi confirmed the mission details with the members of the first squad of the Dark Division, and then they had lunch together.

Shortly after lunch, Uzumaki Hanamichi left the Anbu alone and headed to the Hokage Building.

He entered the Hokage Building and went straight to the Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze had a short meeting with the Konoha leadership after the Ninjutsu Tournament and had just returned to the Hokage's office.

Upon seeing Uzumaki Hanamichi, Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "Ado, thank you!"

Today's final Jonin duel at the Ninjutsu Exchange Conference, where Uzumaki Hanamichi defeated Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, has had a very positive effect on Konoha and on him as Hokage. He had already personally experienced this at the recent high-level meeting, and his influence among the higher-ups had increased considerably.

Whirlpool Flower Path said unhurriedly, "I just did what I was supposed to do, but there's something I must remind you of."

Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow, asking curiously, "What is it?"

Without hesitation, Uzumaki Hanamichi recounted to Namikaze Minato the details of his battle against Killer Bee, including the final transformation into an eight-tailed beast and the strange cursed seal.

Minato Namikaze's expression became visibly serious: "Ado, do you mean someone is manipulating Killer Bee?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded: "Killer Bee should only be able to control the Five-Tails' tailed beast transformation. The Eight-Tails has probably already gone out of control. If it hadn't been stopped in time, it might have even fully transformed into a tailed beast."

"Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!"

Minato Namikaze's expression was somewhat grim. He knew a great deal about the Tailed Beasts. His wife was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and when she fully transformed into a Tailed Beast, that would be her true form. The Nine-Tails incident had already left him with lingering fears, and this time, the Eight-Tails almost went berserk during the Ninjutsu Exchange Conference. As the Hokage, he had no choice but to take it seriously.
