Konoha Forest - Ninja Academy Field Training Area.

Instructor Hayate waved his hand, and several carts loaded with weighted backpacks were brought to the edge of the training grounds.

He announced in a booming voice:

"Nine Trials of Summer, Second Trial: Weighted Field Exercises!"

"In the perilous ninja world, long-distance combat operations are commonplace. As ninja, you must be able to reach your designated locations as swiftly as possible."

"This often involves coordinating with logistics units and transporting essential supplies to the front lines."

"To achieve this, you need a strong physique, unwavering determination, and unwavering loyalty to the Will of Fire!"

Instructor Hayate casually picked up one of the weighted backpacks and hefted it. "These backpacks are the first batch imported to Konoha through the newly established Konoha-Suna Trade Route, a symbol of our friendship with Sunagakure!"

"Exceptional quality, each packed with thirty kilograms of training weights. You are to carry these backpacks and complete ten laps around Konoha."

"We initially planned for twenty laps, but considering the Suna exchange students' unfamiliarity with the terrain and to avoid accidental incursions into restricted Anbu areas, we've reduced it to ten."

"I hereby declare the second trial of the Nine Trials of Summer officially begun!"

Upon hearing "Suna," the Sunagakure students puffed out their chests with pride. See? Even the Konoha instructor acknowledged the quality of Suna-made goods!

They failed to notice the small "Yu" character printed on the bottom of the backpacks.

With the Konoha-Suna Trade Route connecting three nations, who knew if these were produced in Sunagakure or Yugakure? Goods imported through the trade route symbolized friendship between the villages.

The Konoha Times reporter diligently recorded Instructor Hayate's speech, nodding along.

The backpacks were distributed.

The "school bullies" stood back-to-back.

"Thirty kilograms? Ten laps? Are they insane?! This is like looking down on us!!"

"Let us, with the mature wisdom of seasoned taijutsu masters, dominate this second trial!"

"Should we go easy on them?"

"No way. I'm going for absolute suppression!"

Thump—

Fifty-kilogram backpacks landed on the bullies' backs, silencing their boisterous chatter. Only the veins bulging on their foreheads spoke of their "loyalty" to the Will of Fire.

Thirty kilograms, even with chakra enhancement, was a significant burden for academy students.

Except for a few taijutsu prodigies, most would need to rely on their unwavering dedication to the Will of Fire to pass this trial.

Even Itachi Uchiha's usually stoic face showed a flicker of concern. Talent aside, he was still just a five-year-old.

Temari, observing from behind, nodded smugly. So, he wasn't an invincible prodigy after all.

The weighted march began.

But as always, the unexpected occurred. Rip, rip, rip—

Several Suna students' backpack straps tore under the strain.
