150 Naruto Mobile Game

Are Coupon ninjas strong?

Watching the mutual flaming on the public screen show no sign of slowing, Darui couldn't empathize at all—he only felt the noise.

Today's Ninja Mobile Game update was, for him, truly heaven and hell separated by a single thought.

Because his main ninja had finally gone live!

Although it didn't have the same grand presence as the Raikage or Killer Bee, Darui was still satisfied—after all, there weren't many Kumogakure ninjas to begin with.

Just as he was thinking that, he suddenly realized his ninja was actually selling for 198 Coupons!

Good heavens—it was a noble Coupon ninja!

So what was there to hesitate about? Darui didn't even look twice and decisively bought his main ninja.

And then...

"Don't be discouraged, Darui. Putting strength and production aside, at least your Coupon ninja still has presence."

A slung an arm around Darui's shoulder and tried to comfort him.

Darui glanced at A. This guy was still part of the current duel arena mainstream.

Unlike him—he'd finally gotten a release, thought it would be a powerful ninja, but who would've guessed...

Why the hell was the strength mixed in with other Coupon ninjas like this!

The skill end-lag was huge; after using a skill he just spun in circles. The strength was basically the duel arena floor!

Darui sighed, patted A on the shoulder, and said,

"I can't even be bothered to rant."

With that, he walked away without looking back.

Watching the dejected back of his capable subordinate, A was furious. Damn it! Ninja Mobile Game was clearly looking down on their Kumogakure!

Now the only ones who could still get by in the duel arena were the A–B combo, and even their situation wasn't great.

After all, times were different now.

Those days when they first appeared and swept the duel arena were long gone. Honestly, A really missed them.

When fighting people from his own village, he demanded full effort to hone skills; against other villages, of course he fought however felt good.

Unfortunately, it didn't feel good anymore.

Just you wait, Darui—I'll get revenge for you!

A's resolve was firm. He casually found a place to sit, pulled out his phone, and started playing.

He bought [Darui] first. It hurt a bit, but if even he didn't support Darui, who would?

Then he brought himself and [Killer Bee] along, and a top-tier Kumogakure lineup was complete.

However, when adjusting the ninja deployment order, A silently put [Darui] in the first slot...

"Round one, battle over!"

Looking at the miserable death of [Darui] in his hands, A said nothing, his fighting spirit still unbroken.

Mm, let's just treat it as gathering intel on the opponent.

Don't worry—I won't forget your contribution. You're one of my arms!

A's thoughts were active. His second slot was his own main, and thanks to [Darui]'s efforts, he successfully got four Chakra bars.

The four-Chakra-bar super armor Thunder King—has arrived!

One minute later...

"I #"@**#!! You damn @#@ blue shield @? Just like this @##? I'll @" Raikage @*# you! Damn it!"

From A's overheated rage and mental break, it was obvious that the opposing Nagato was brutally ruthless.

Huff—huff—

After several deep breaths, A forced himself to calm down. He was the Raikage, the head of Kumogakure—how could he act like this?

Calm down, calm down. The opponent was just a brainless blue-shield spammer, not even human...

That's right!

A looked at his third slot, Killer Bee. Whether you can salvage me... salvage the dignity of all Kumogakure—depends on you!

"Achoo—"

In the Valley of Clouds and Lightning, Killer Bee suddenly sneezed, completely confused, wondering which fan was talking about him.

The next moment, a thunderous explosion echoed through the village, startling Killer Bee badly.

He turned his head to look, and his sunglasses nearly burst—his eyes bulged out.

"The Raikage Office Building... collapsed?!"

For an instant he suspected his eyesight, but unfortunately, what he saw was reality.

Connecting it with that sneeze just now, Killer Bee suddenly felt schadenfreude.

"He lost He lost Oh weak! Usually lectures people like a boss, loses a match and turns into a stubborn mule, rage explodes straight to the sky—honestly, that's just... Yahoo!!"

After mocking his brother from afar, Killer Bee got serious.

Don't worry. I'll inherit your will. Let us Kumogakure men reclaim dominance of the duel arena!

Full of confidence, Killer Bee queued up for a match.

"Darui opens. If he can chip away and get beans, that's already good. Brother bursts for suppression. I'll stabilize at the end."

As expected of brothers—the ninja choices and deployment order were exactly the same.

"Mm, Darui's revive is up. Use a few more skills. As for super armor... ah, should I give it to brother or to me?"

"Forget it, give it to me. He can make do with Dispel. I'm the strongest super-armor slot!"

"Alright, entering the game. Let's see—the opponent's lineup is... uh."

[Nagato · Edo Tensei] + [Mysterious Masked Man · Rage] + [Uchiha Sasuke · Mangekyō Sharingan]

Killer Bee fell silent—then suddenly cracked his voice.

"I'm playing your damn mother!!"

With new version ninjas going live, not only did they fail to improve the already harsh duel arena, they made the entire environment even worse.

Several ninjas were must-pick if not banned—you didn't have them, you got suppressed.

Some veteran players from last season suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu. This version had become similar to that time again.

And in the channel, after arguing for ages, this group seemed to develop feelings for each other. The tone suddenly shifted, and everyone started lamenting the current duel arena version.

[All-Server Channel]

[High-Class Recruitment Ace Ninja]: Sigh, the duel arena is getting harder and harder. It reminds me of the end of last season.

[Ensemble Ninja's Vacation]: Yeah. Ninjas are released faster and in greater numbers—at this rate it's practically a parade of a hundred demons!

[Ninja Clan Rising]: Really envy those with lots of ninjas. They can probably still sweep the duel arena, right?

[Unpopular Coupon Ninja Faith Player]: Sigh, it's not as good as you think. Once strong ninjas get into mirror matches, losing one game is the end. Sometimes it's pretty painful to play.

[Money]: Yeah, yeah! Iteration is too fast. A ninja that was strong before might get beaten into a dog in the new version!

[Hōzuki Gengetsu]: Forget that—any Kirigakure players here? How's my ninja performing in the duel arena now?

[Ordinary Person]: In your case, most ninjas you run into are easy to deal with. The suppression is very strong.

[Hōzuki Gengetsu]: Really? Hahahaha! Seems it still holds its value! @Mu

[Mu]: ???

Kuroda closed the public screen and fell into thought.

Players having complaints was entirely normal. The game reaching its current state was almost inevitable.

After all, when had the duel arena environment ever been good? The old underworld days? Or the latest dozens of ultra-T0s?

An individual's power was limited, so Kuroda didn't continue researching alone. Instead, he sat back down and turned on another display.

The screen showed an unopened livestream room—but not the ninja world, rather another world.

That's right—his side could also receive all the changes from the Cube Internet Café version of Naruto Mobile Game from his previous life, so he naturally knew what had happened recently.

Mm. He was already prepared. First, let's see what those planners have to say tonight!

Kuroda thought for a moment and deduced several possible endings.

He told these endings to the system and asked what it thought. The system replied: why not look at the opinions of higher-dimensional beings?

Come on, place your bets—wager on all possible endings of Naruto Mobile Game after tonight's planner livestream!

Ending 1 — The Dumpling-Wrapping Ending:

The Naruto planners sincerely apologize and compensate, issue a military pledge guaranteeing improvements, and successfully earn the players' forgiveness.

Ending 2 — Instant Death Ending:

While apologizing in the livestream, the planners also promote One Piece: Aokiji, completely igniting player fury. In the end, all Naruto studio staff flow to One Piece, bug fixes and adjustments gradually fail, Naruto Mobile Game rapidly declines into obscurity, shuts down six months later, and creates an industry miracle.

Ending 3 — Chronic Death Ending:

Under public pressure, the planners soften and promise welfare, but it's just old wine in new bottles—mere appeasement. Small-workshop habits and filler content persist, endlessly grinding away player enthusiasm day after day.

Ending 4 — Naruto Hater Turns Killer Ending:

Riding the tenth anniversary and this wave of hype, Cube Internet Café directly announces the launch of a Naruto Mobile Game tenth-anniversary server, attempting a second spring.

Ending 5 — Win-Win Ending:

Cube Internet Café fully listens to player feedback, improves the game, balances resources, and progresses together. Naruto Mobile Game and One Piece: Ambition Together shine brilliantly and prosper ever after.

Ending 6 — Brain Chaos:

Cube Internet Café's lead goes brain-dead and pulls a big move—directly merging the Naruto and One Piece projects to create a new game: Naruto VS One Piece.

Ending 7 — Final Fantasy:

Cube Internet Café's situation attracts the attention of the company boss. He convenes all shareholders, and the meeting unanimously decides to pour massive resources into Cube Internet Café. From then on, Cube Internet Café becomes the nation's number one game studio.

Ending 8 — Apocalypse:

Because this war's impact is too great, it attracts alien invasion. Earth is ruled from then on; humanity barely survives. Only a few people still remember that there was once a game called Naruto Mobile Game.

Ending 9 — Great Happiness Ending:

Actually, none of this is that important. Whether the game exists or not, whether it's good or bad—everyone still has to live, eat, sleep, and work. Life doesn't change. But an optimistic mindset matters. As long as you're happy every day, that's enough!
