"Hello everyone, I'm the host of this Ninja Intelligence Conference. I'm Kuroda!"
A mysterious light curtain appeared before everyone's eyes, hanging high in the sky just like yesterday — but this time, the scene was completely different.
It showed a carefully arranged indoor space filled with ninja-themed decorations.
Inside stood a handsome young man, smiling confidently as he introduced himself.
On either side of him stood two others with similar appearances, looking slightly nervous.
"Eh?! The café owner?!"
Naruto's jaw dropped as he stared at the familiar face on the screen.
But the next second, he seemed to recall something unpleasant — his expression turned green as he covered his mouth, fighting the urge to vomit.
Kakashi glanced at Naruto with an amused look.
That coffee's aftertaste must still be haunting him...
The original, ultra-bitter, thick black coffee!
Kakashi then turned to the calm and composed Kuroda on the screen. His gaze flickered slightly.
That man really wasn't simple — whether it was his familiarity with the Ninja Mobile Game, being chosen as the host for this event, or even his coffee-making skills.
Still...
"Seriously, do High-Rank Ninjas really get this kind of treatment?" Kakashi sighed helplessly. "They even brought the real person into the broadcast!"
Only a few minutes after the people of the ninja world received the announcement about the Intelligence Conference, the light curtain appeared across the sky.
Naturally, everyone's attention turned toward it, though most had no idea what was going on.
Inside the screen, Kuroda made a gesture of invitation.
"Uh..."
The man with a bowl-cut and green jumpsuit hesitated for a moment.
"I'm a guest for this Intelligence Conference! The proud Beast of Konoha—Might Guy!"
He was nervous at first, especially with a giant screen in front of him showing his every move.
But as he continued introducing himself, his confidence quickly returned. He finished with his signature thumbs-up and a gleaming smile.
Seeing this, Lee was full of admiration.
Right now, everyone in the entire ninja world was watching them! How could one even speak normally under that kind of pressure?
But when Guy gave Lee a reassuring look, Lee's spirit ignited.
No, he couldn't back down!
"I'm Rock Lee! I'm also a guest like Guy-sensei! I… I'll prove that even without ninjutsu or genjutsu… just by using taijutsu, I can still become a powerful ninja one day!" Lee shouted passionately.
"You will do it, Lee!" Guy said, deeply moved.
"Yes, Guy-sensei!"
"Lee!!"
"Guy-sensei!!"
"Lee!!!"
The eccentric duo threw their arms around each other, tears streaming down their faces in dramatic streaks.
Crack—
The entire ninja world turned to stone watching this scene.
Meanwhile, Kuroda's expression remained perfectly calm. He gave a light smile.
"Alright then, please take your seats."
As the three sat down on the sofa, the Intelligence Conference officially began.
"The first segment of the Ninja Intelligence Conference is an introduction to the first A-Rank recruitable ninja in the Ninja Mobile Game... Guy-sensei, would you do the honors?" Kuroda asked.
"Of course! It's my duty!" Guy declared solemnly, pulling out a phone.
The camera smartly switched from filming them to showing the screen of Guy's phone.
On it appeared a ninja identical to Guy, standing in a training camp.
Guy took a deep breath.
He had only just learned he'd be introducing a new ninja — and he had worried he wouldn't do a good job. But since that ninja turned out to be himself, there was nothing to fear.
He just had to demonstrate the skills he'd already learned.
"Ahem, let's start with the first skill."
Guy tapped the first skill. [Might Guy] spun low to the ground, then rose and kicked twice in succession.
Hmm...
Many people watching looked puzzled. It seemed pretty simple, not much different from other ninjas.
Then [Might Guy]'s second skill appeared — an even simpler forward flying kick.
"Lastly, let's see the Ultimate." Guy said, as several large words flashed across the screen.
[Morning Peacock!]
[Might Guy] leaped high into the air, punching rapidly downward. His fists moved so fast that friction ignited flames.
Each punch launched a blazing fireball, densely packed like a peacock spreading its feathers.
It ended with one massive fireball crashing down to conclude the attack.
Seeing this, many found it impressive — the Ultimate was flashier than most current ninjas' skills — though overall, still fairly average.
But Guy didn't care what others thought. Controlling [Might Guy] himself and performing Morning Peacock filled him with satisfaction.
It was a wonderful, refreshing feeling.
"So, that about covers this ninja…"
Seeing Guy wrapping up, Lee panicked.
He glanced furtively at the camera — it wasn't showing their side — and hurriedly tugged on Guy's sleeve.
Guy turned toward him, and Lee mouthed a few silent words.
"Nor...mal...attacks?"
Guy froze, then broke out in a cold sweat.
Oh no — he'd completely forgotten!
"Ahem, I'll also demonstrate the normal attacks now. One A, two A, three A, four A, five A!"
Well, they were indeed normal attacks — three punches, a kick, and another punch.
But Guy didn't mind. He sighed in relief, thinking that should do it.
"Looks like Guy-sensei has finished the demonstration. Could you explain this ninja's combat strategy next?" Kuroda prompted smoothly.
"No problem!" Guy grinned broadly.
Now this was something he could talk about all day. He switched screens and equipped a Secret Scroll, selecting the Super Armor buff.
After summoning an opponent — [Hatake Kakashi] — he began his explanation.
"The Ninja Mobile Game is essentially a game about resource exchange."
Oh?
Kuroda raised an eyebrow — so Guy actually did understand game mechanics.
But his confidence quickly faded.
"If the battle starts, we must immediately use the Secret Scroll! Then charge straight at the opponent's face with Skill Two!"
"Once we land the opener, use Skill One right away... But pay attention! Never use the Ultimate recklessly! After the opponent uses Substitution, we summon the toad!"
"Wait! Guy-sensei, I have a question!" Lee raised his hand seriously. "What if the opponent also summons their creature?"
"Excellent question! According to my testing, the toad has the longest duration among all summons!" Guy said proudly.
"What? Could it be?!"
"That's right! The toad outlasts all other summons! And don't forget—you still have your Substitution!"
"I see! That's an incredible strategy! It covers both offense and defense perfectly! As expected of you, Guy-sensei!"
"Hahaha! That's the spirit of battle!"
The youthful duo laughed heartily, full of passion and energy.
Meanwhile, Kuroda sat beside them, unable to laugh. He rubbed his forehead and sighed inwardly.
Great... with this 'Super Armor + Skill Combo' opening tactic, just how many reckless players will pop up across the ninja world now?
