Tsunade couldn't help but look over.

She came to this martial arts tournament to see Jingyuan clearly and to visit her mother-in-law, doing what a daughter-in-law should do.

She didn't care about fighting or killing.

The scene on the screen shifted, and a handsome man in a smart suit greeted everyone.

"Welcome everyone to this joint martial arts competition."

"I'm the host, Hachiro!"

"Although this conference is sure to be very exciting."

"But children should still watch this with their parents."

"The images might frighten children."

On the other side, Naruto was sitting next to his mother Kushina, clapping his hands expectantly.

It's finally starting!

After being publicized nationwide, most citizens knew about the martial arts competition and turned on their televisions.

In areas where television is not widely available, local community workers organize interested people to watch together in the lobby.

"First, let's introduce our honorary commentator for today—"

"Our General Manager, Mr. Kakuzu!"

As the screen zoomed in, Kagami, dressed in formal attire and wearing a mask, came into view.

In terms of appearance, he looks quite composed.

"Mr. Kakuzu, is there anything you'd like to say?"

Kakuzu nodded, his tone calm.

"Starting from the next conference, tickets for watching the event live will be sold."

"Affordable price."

······

After a one-second pause, the host, Hachiro, immediately took over the conversation.

"Haha, as expected of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he has already thought of providing better services for future audiences."

"Now, let's get straight to the point!"

"Please watch today's program first—the Joint Chunin Exams."

"Let's see how the young genin perform!"

"Crack!"

Inside the illusionary world, Hachiro breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the director give him an "OK" sign.

These service personnel have all entered the illusion world via machinery, and the room they are currently in was created by the illusion constructor.

This is a newly emerging profession that requires highly skilled illusionists to hold.

They are like the engineers of the fantasy world; they built many of the scenes for the joint martial arts tournament.

Furthermore, they will also serve as photographers and videographers for this conference.

The screen stretching just now was controlled mentally by one of them.

"Lord Kakuzu, please cooperate with me."

Kakuzu, standing nearby, let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, practicality is the most important thing."

“Describing ninja battles in this tone will mislead the public into thinking that the work of ninjas is simple and safe.”

"Ninjas are people who risk their lives; they should never be treated as entertainment!"

Hachiro wiped away non-existent sweat from his face.

It seems this has displeased this veteran figure?

Should we change our tone after that?

But he's only ever worked as a host for entertainment programs!

But I've never been exposed to serious programs before.

Do we have to act like the news anchors and weather forecasters?

No, no, no! His soul as a host would never allow that!

Can we compromise?

Meanwhile, all the viewers were watching the Joint Chunin Exams.

Unlike the Chunin Exams, which are held twice a year, this joint exam is open only to the young elites from each village.

Each village sends out three teams of three to compete for points.

This score is only related to the ranking of each village, and has nothing to do with whether they have been promoted to Chunin.

However, since they were all sent to participate in the public assessment, these people naturally all have the strength of Chunin or even Jonin, but they are all relatively young.

For example, one of the teams on Konoha's side was led by Itachi Uchiha, a genius of the younger generation of the Uchiha clan, who was only twelve years old.

His teammates were the equally talented Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune.

The arena was a replica of the Death Forest where Konoha was located, but it was more complex and dangerous.

At the same time, all fifteen teams need to steal a Heaven Scroll or an Earth Scroll from other teams to collect two scrolls before they can proceed to the Trial Tower at the very center.

Therefore, extremely fierce battles are bound to occur between these teams.

The devastation was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Detection, deception, assault, psychological manipulation, coordinated operations

A series of tense and exciting processes cause people to involuntarily secrete large amounts of adrenaline.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Fire Technique!

Many large fireballs flew out from the vast forest, heading towards a group of young ninjas dressed in distinctive Sunagakure attire.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

A Sand Ninja slapped the ground, and an earthen wall rose up from the ground.

Brilliant fireworks burst forth, their light blocked outside the earthen wall.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a shuriken cutting through the air.

With a clanging sound, several shuriken that had been launched from both sides in a curved path were blocked by two other Sand Ninja.

However, as they parried the shuriken with their kunai, they also discovered the almost transparent metal wires on them.

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

In an instant, two powerful flames rushed along the silk thread and finally collided and exploded behind the earthen wall!

"wind."

On the massive tree trunk, Itachi Uchiha lowered the metal wire he was holding.

"They haven't lost their ability to move yet."

"I am a mountain wind," Shan Zhongfeng replied, relying on his powerful perception.

The next second, flames exploded, and a uniquely shaped puppet flew onto the earthen wall, its arms shaped like cannon muzzles.

"Chakra Cannon?"

After unification, the puppetry technology of Sunagakure also developed and evolved.

"They were too focused on your fire techniques and have already fallen for it."

Aburame Tokunari answered from the side.

The next second, the screams of the three echoed through the empty space.

"Ah!!!!" x3

Behind the earthen wall, the three people, whose bodies were partially burned, were enveloped by countless black insects.

There was a small hole in the ground, from which a large number of insects crawled out.

It was Aburame Torune who, while the three were defending against Itachi's Fire Release and shuriken, sent the insects burrowing into the ground to ambush them.

The chakra-devouring insects rendered the three Sand Ninja incapable of resistance in an instant.

Many of those watching couldn't help but cover the eyes of their young children.

Is this what ninja battles are like?

It was more tragic than most people imagined.

The sight of the three people screaming in agony as they were devoured by countless insects was enough to frighten many people.

Kushina watched the battle intently.

"These kids are all amazing, especially the one who awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at such a young age."

"His fire release techniques, ninja tool control, and timing are all impeccable."

"Naruto, if you want to become a ninja, you will face many, many difficulties, far more difficult than you are now."

Can you tolerate it?

Naruto sat upright with a serious expression.

He didn't do nothing during those three years; he also received ninja training from his father.

He also understood that becoming a ninja was difficult, and protecting everyone was also difficult.

but

"I will become a ninja who protects everyone, and I will become Hokage."

A resolute glint shone in those azure eyes.
