The poor Genin returned to their respective villages in a daze.
Only then did they realize that Konoha's so-called "joint Chūnin Exam" was not about showcasing the strength and prestige of each village but was, in fact, a marketing campaign for the summoned beasts Konoha intended to sell.
The instruction manual made it clear that the Pokémon Beginner Contest would be held permanently, recurring every three months. The prizes for each competition would never fall below the level of this event, but starting with the next contest, participants would need to supply their own summoned beasts.
What is this?! Are they forcing us to spend money on their Pokémon?!
The bewildered Genin returned to their village's temporary accommodations in Konoha, clutching their Poké Balls and instruction manuals. Once handed over to their team leaders, the Jōnin squad leaders darkened with fury, hastily using various communication methods to relay the news back to their respective villages.
At the same time, Konoha sent Pokémon Contest invitations to daimyōs, influential figures, and wealthy businessmen from various countries.
Toki had little interest in profiting off the poor ninja villages—what money did they even have? His real targets were the merchants and nobles standing behind these villages.
If it weren't for the frustrating limitation that the system's conversion of family reputation could only be tied to organizations rather than individuals, Toki would have directly sold his scientific ninja tools and summoned beasts to those wealthy nobles.
At present, the Uchiha clan wasn't short on money. What they truly needed was the family reputation that came from massive trade volumes. To Toki, if a business didn't contribute to this goal, it wasn't worth his time.
Thus, the idea for the joint Chūnin Exam was born.
Toki's plan was simple: create a fun and exciting outlet for the ultra-wealthy—an alternative to their current indulgence in illegal underground ninja fights.
Instead of letting them host secret black-market tournaments, Toki decided to give them a legitimate and more appealing alternative: Pokémon battles.
By introducing these nobles and merchants to the thrilling allure of Pokémon combat, Toki could redirect the money they poured into private ninja armies back into the ninja villages through the Pokémon ecosystem.
This way, the Uchiha clan would gain not only financial wealth but also vast amounts of family reputation.
It was a win-win situation!
Moreover, the economic recovery sparked by the Pokémon Contest—from tourism, catering, real estate, and taxation—would create even more opportunities for profit.
This wasn't just a win-win situation anymore; it was a win-win-win-win scenario! The Uchiha clan could win on all fronts!

Meanwhile, Toki was basking in luxury within the clan leader's mansion, attended to by Uzumaki Chizuru and Uchiha Mikoto.
In another four years, once the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Sage Body were fully developed, Toki would wield the ultimate combination of Susanoo and Wood Release Buddha Statue. At that point, he could easily sweep through the ninja world.
Without intervention from the Six Paths level, no one would stand a chance. Even against armies of ninjas, their numbers would become meaningless.
Toki envisioned himself single-handedly conquering the ninja world and uniting it under his banner.
This thought brought him immense joy.
For years, he had worried endlessly about the Night of the Uchiha Massacre and the fate of his clan. But in just one year, all of those problems had been resolved. Now, it was only a matter of time before his plans fully materialized.
Toki's gaze drifted toward Mikoto, and a mischievous grin formed on his face.
Pressing his hand to the floor, he activated Wood Release.
Suddenly, vines sprouted from the ground, wrapping around Mikoto and lifting her into the air.
Startled, Mikoto let out a cry, her face flushed with embarrassment and indignation.
Toki stared at the suspended Mikoto, his eyes gleaming with a fiery intensity.
This, he thought, is the true way to use Wood Release.
