Minato Namikaze chose a low-difficulty game suitable for four players: "Left 4 Dead."

Immediately, the three who entered the Genjutsu game opened the door to a whole new world.

Naruto Uzumaki, seeing himself and the others transformed into different people, exclaimed in shock, "Amazing! So this is a Genjutsu game? It's incredible! It's just like the real thing!"

Sakura Haruno clenched her fists and felt the body of the character she was playing. Looking into the distance, she quickly spotted the low-level monsters—zombies—and shivered, goosebumps rising on her arms. "What are these? Ugh\\~ So creepy."

Sai felt his worldview being overturned. "Genjutsu game... a secret technique of the Uchiha Clan? The Uchiha Clan had a secret technique like this? Then why didn't they bring it out back then? And after the clan was wiped out, why didn't Lord Danzo get this technique?"

Hmm, those were Sai's inner thoughts; he didn't say them aloud. As a member of the Root assigned by Danzo Shimura to "accompany" the Nine Tails' Jinchūriki, Naruto Uzumaki, he naturally knew a lot of the Root's dark secrets, including the truth behind the Uchiha Clan Massacre.

Of course, Danzo's brainwashing told Root members that the annihilation of the Uchiha was a righteous act—that the Uchiha had brought it upon themselves by attempting a coup, and thus they were justly suppressed, with their own traitor, Itachi Uchiha, cooperating to destroy the clan.

So it was all the Uchiha Clan's fault. They destroyed themselves.

Whether others believed it or not, Danzo said so in the Root. And given his authority and brainwashing methods, everyone believed it—because anyone who didn't was subjected to more brainwashing until they did. And if they still refused, they were purged to maintain the purity of the unit.

In terms of ruthlessness, Danzo never disappointed.

After the initial shock of experiencing a Genjutsu game, Minato, as a seasoned player, began carrying the three newbies.

How to get started quickly, what weapons to pick, how to maintain formation, how to fight, how to use items, what routes to take...

What types of enemies exist, and how to deal with new enemy types...

Minato explained everything in simple terms even a fool could understand. Even Naruto, a bit slow in some areas, quickly grasped the concepts and got into the groove.

With Minato leading, the three felt like everything went smoothly, like silk. They didn't even need to think for themselves—just follow Minato's instructions and everything went perfectly.

Even when unexpected things happened, like encountering enemies with control abilities for the first time and getting caught off guard, Minato always rescued them instantly, got them back into formation, and pushed onward.

Even knowing it was just a game, and their characters were avatars, the three still felt like they were being carried by a top-tier pro. They couldn't help comparing Minato with Kakashi.

Then, they all reached the same conclusion: when it comes to team leadership, Kakashi-sensei can't compare to Eternal Support!

And so, under Minato's leadership, the trio quickly completed a full run of "Left 4 Dead."

Though they didn't play every stage, forty minutes was enough to give them a whole new experience, one that had them marveling and pondering the game's amazing worldview.

After all, this apocalyptic setting was a concept completely foreign to the Shinobi World. Just like when "Left 4 Dead" first appeared in the main world, it sparked intense reflection—even fear.

But their thoughts didn't last long, because Minato soon led them into the hottest game of the moment: "Ultimate Storm."

Thanks to the Genjutsu Network, "Ultimate Storm" was unrivaled. It combined entertainment with competition, let ordinary people feel the power of the strong, and allowed strong ninja to experience pure, uninhibited combat. It was a dimensional suppression.

Now, in gaming halls everywhere, 70% of players were on "Ultimate Storm." The remaining 30% were on other games. It was like Earth's internet cafes during "League of Legends'" peak.

When Minato brought them into this game and threw them into a seventy-two-player battle royale, the most thrilling experience began.

Cries of surprise and awe filled the air. As the match started, Minato fully took command, guiding the trio through buildings and supply areas to gather gear.

When enemies appeared, he gave precise, concise orders for the others to follow.

Though Naruto often acted impulsively and ignored commands, leading to repeated defeats, Minato always rescued him swiftly and skillfully.

Many times, it felt like Minato was just showing off. He always wore a warm, sunny smile, but was ruthless toward enemies.

This contrast showed his dual nature clearly. Sakura, watching from the side, thought Eternal Support was just too cool and almost fell for him. She had to quickly recall Sasuke Uchiha's face to avoid switching allegiances.

Meanwhile, Naruto, who kept getting saved, felt deeply embarrassed and always apologized. But Minato would gently comfort and encourage him, even praising him when he did well, maxing out his emotional value.

Naruto, overwhelmed by this fatherly warmth and care, couldn't help but think how great it would be if Eternal Support were his dad.

Sai, ever silent, thought Minato was overly doting on Naruto. Though Minato treated him and Sakura well, his attention to Naruto was clearly on another level.

It could be explained by Naruto's impulsiveness causing trouble, but Sai felt it wasn't that simple. He began to consider a theory even he found hard to believe.

But if his guess was right, then Minato's special attention to Naruto made perfect sense. And he was pretty confident in his guess.

As a member of the Root, Sai knew many secrets, including the fact that the previous Nine Tails' Jinchūriki was the Fourth Hokage's wife, a survivor of the Uzumaki Clan.

Uzumaki Clan. Naruto Uzumaki.

The answer was obvious.

Of course, Sai kept his theory to himself. He figured if it were true, and Minato didn't say it himself, he must have his reasons. It wasn't Sai's place to reveal it.

And so, under Minato's leadership and care, the trio tasted the joy of their first battle royale win.

That feeling of defeating all opponents and being the last ones standing on the battlefield brought a rush of exhilaration. Naruto shouted in joy, Sakura cheered with a fist pump despite trying to remain composed, and Sai wore a rare smile.

Then, with a faint smile, Minato took them into more matches, letting them experience all kinds of battle modes in "Ultimate Storm," completely immersing them in the overwhelming joy of Genjutsu gaming.

Just like that, a whole day passed without them realizing.

By evening, Minato took the three out for a meal, then escorted them to their prepared lodgings.

The house, provided by the Uchiha Clan, was in the new district. Each had their own room, ensuring privacy and comfort so they could live peacefully in this unfamiliar Hidden Leaf.

At 10 PM, Naruto was getting ready for bed. But the day's events had left him emotionally overwhelmed. His mind was still racing, unable to calm down.

Undoubtedly, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He felt he would never forget it, and it would remain a treasured memory.

Especially Minato's care and gentle encouragement made Naruto feel a warmth he had never known. Once again, he found himself wishing Eternal Support were his father.

Unfortunately...

Just as Naruto felt a wave of melancholy, there was a knock on the door. He blinked in surprise.

When he opened it, he saw the very person he had been thinking of: Minato Namikaze.

But Minato wasn't alone. Standing beside him was Uchiha Kei.

Naruto gawked. "Uncle Minato? Uncle Kei? It's so late. What's going on?"

Kei smiled and pointed at Naruto's stomach. "Nothing much. Minato asked me to help you deal with that big fox inside you."

Naruto froze and instinctively covered his belly. "The big fox... you mean the Nine Tails? Uh, how are you going to do that? That guy's dangerous. You can't just mess with it."

As he spoke, Naruto showed strong resistance. After all, just a year ago, Jiraiya had tried to help him gain control over the Nine Tails' power.

The result? The Nine Tails went berserk and nearly killed Jiraiya. If they hadn't managed to suppress it and seal it again, Naruto didn't dare imagine what might have happened.

Because of that incident, Naruto was strongly against anyone else trying to mess with the Nine Tails. He feared Minato and Kei might suffer the same fate.

Minato gave a gentle smile and reassured him. "Don't worry! In our world, the Nine Tails isn't a problem anymore. And Kei already has a solution."

Uchiha Kei smiled as well, looking forward to what was coming. After all, next up was the fun part: letting the two Nine Tails meet.

When the rampaging fox inside Naruto met the current Nine Tails from this world, it would surely lead to an unprecedentedly hilarious situation.

Kei had been looking forward to that ever since Naruto crossed into this world.
