What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?

Not long after, the grand event finally came to an end. 

Although Minato's team had created a fun and exciting atmosphere that greatly stirred the emotions of the audience, all good things must come to an end. 

The demonstration of The Road to Survival eventually concluded.

After all, it was just a demo, only covering two small levels, and once completed, there was nothing more to play.

The other three teams made it through quite smoothly. They encountered a number of mutated monsters along the way, but the demo didn't feature any outrageously powerful mutated creatures, so they all made it through without major issues.

Afterward, many of the participants excitedly expressed how fun the game was, sharing their exhilaration and giving all the emotional value they could.

Battling—awesome!

Team battles—more awesome!

The live audience gave these fortunate players who successfully completed the demo a warm round of applause, lifting their spirits and making them feel like they were on cloud nine, with a sense of fame.

Of course, the most popular team was Minato's.

The difficulty of Minato's team's level was clearly much higher, and with two unpredictable troublemakers in the team, the entertainment value was off the charts.

Due to the internal conflicts between the two troublemakers, they even encountered danger during the battle. 

When they entered the second stage, the two started attacking each other again, resulting in a direct encounter with the strongest wave of zombies, accompanied by many mutated monsters.

The two troublemakers, having lowered each other's health to less than one-sixth, entered the "weakened" state, where their movement speed was reduced by 30%.

As a result, these two unlucky kids couldn't dodge in time and ended up getting wiped out, lying on the ground.

In this game, even if players fall to the ground, they don't die immediately. Instead, they enter a "dying" state, where they can't move for a minute, and can only be revived by other healthy players. 

However, if they are not revived within that minute, they will die on the spot. Additionally, any subsequent fatal attack will also result in instant death.

But at that moment, they were up against a terrifying horde of zombies. Rin was desperately trying to save them, but her attempts were constantly interrupted by attacks from the zombies and other monsters.

The zombies continued to attack the two who were on the brink of death. Obito and Kakashi could only lie helplessly on the ground, watching as the horde of zombies surrounded them, mercilessly beating them in a wild, inhumane frenzy.

In the end, the two unlucky kids were beaten to death amidst Kakashi's unwilling growls and Obito's terrified screams.

The number of teammates dropped drastically, leaving only two behind, while Rin was still in grave danger under the relentless assault of the zombies.

In the critical moment, the most talented ninja from Konoha, Minato Namikaze, seemed to trigger his passive abilities and directly entered his show-off mode.

Holding a large sword in one hand and kunai in the other, Minato moved at high speed, cutting down various monsters, turning into a battlefield meat grinder.

And, even against those mutated monsters with control abilities, the weakened Minato was able to dodge with minimal movements, often attacking as he dodged, resembling a martial artist on a bloody battlefield.

There were times when small dodges wouldn't work, and he'd execute large evasive maneuvers, many of which were highly difficult for his current body.

For example, he'd rush towards a nearby tree in parkour mode, using inertia to run up the tree and then leap backward to avoid an attack, all while flashing his sword to sever the mutated monster's head.

The key was to show off to the fullest.

Thus, the most difficult challenge was miraculously overcome in Minato's solo show.

In the end, Minato rescued Rin, who had been beaten into a near-death state, next to a pile of monster corpses.

At that moment, the value of the "Yellow Flash" continued to rise, demonstrating that even severely weakened, this young genius from Konoha was still invincible among his peers.

As for Kakashi and Obito, these two unlucky kids could only float behind Minato and Rin as their "spirits," unable to do anything but watch Minato and Rin continue on their way, feeling incredibly awkward.

It wasn't until Minato and Rin reached a critical point that Kakashi and Obito were revived—In the game, when teammates die, as long as the team isn't wiped out, any dead teammates can revive as long as the team progresses to certain areas with a "space" feel, such as a safe house, regular house, tree hollow, cave, or tent.

As long as there is someone alive in the team, the fallen teammates can be revived and sent back into battle.

Although it may seem like a light-hearted matter, Kakashi and Obito have directly explained to everyone what to do when a player dies in the game.

In the end, the team of Minato Namikaze cleared the game, and they received the loudest applause, especially Minato himself, whose popularity far surpassed anyone else's combined.

As his student, Rin Nohara was very happy, while Kakashi and Obito were awkward, and so the two best friends started blaming each other, showing how true best friends are always destined to argue forever.

After that, the event came to an end. The more than five thousand spectators left with excitement and countless topics to discuss, either heading back home or leaving Konoha to spread the news.

From that day on, the 'Genjutsu Game' spread throughout the entire ninja world, becoming a new sensation known by everyone.

As Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Konoha would soon have many new spies, who would try their best to investigate the truth behind the 'Genjutsu Game.' 

Once confirmed, they would do whatever it took to steal the technology.

Unfortunately, this technology, unlike other secret ninjutsu, was directly controlled by the Uchiha clan.

In these times, who could steal anything from the Uchiha?

Spies who approached the Uchiha clan would most likely be walking straight into their doom. 

However, they could still create a certain level of restraint and disturbance for the Uchiha clan, which was a classic method of "balance" for the higher-ups in Konoha.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't worried about the 'Genjutsu Game' being stolen by foreign nations. The core technology was in place, and it was something that couldn't be taken by anyone else.

While it was possible to "destroy what cannot be obtained," the situation was different now. Konoha's military strength was solid, and the Uchiha clan was involved. 

What could other ninja villages use to "destroy what cannot be obtained"?

In the end, this secret technique had become a core product of Konoha. 

When it was discovered that the Uchiha clan, together with many other ninja clans, had established a special company for selling and expanding the 'Genjutsu Game,' the Hokage, who had been in power the longest, immediately began weighing the pros and cons, analyzing how to maximize Konoha's benefit.

Then, the game "Survival Road" was specially selected. If this game could be further improved and upgraded to offer a more realistic experience, it would become an essential training tool for graduating ninja squads.

To address this, Sarutobi Hiruzen specifically sent Anbu agents to the Uchiha clan to raise all the issues regarding Survival Road.

Facing the Third Hokage, the Uchiha clan still held great respect, so the information was quickly passed through the Uchiha clan to Uchiha Kai.

Looking at the list of issues, Uchiha Kai thought for a moment, then took out a pen to answer each one. The core of all the content actually pointed to one thing—

Survival Road would be launching a special survival mode, where players would experience an incredibly realistic post-apocalyptic survival scenario, maximizing its "training" purpose.

After receiving the reply, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction. 

Then, he swiftly signed a decree to provide policy support to the newly established Konoha Gaming Company—he understood very well that with the clans represented by the Konoha Council already involved, any further obstruction or restriction would only provoke resentment. 

It was better to simply go with the flow and do them a favor.
