Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"How much?" Fang Rui slowly shook his head; in his opinion, it wasn't much.

After all, the immortality surgery of the Op-Op Fruit wasn't mentioned, but the Six Treasures Immortal Thief could also be brought up...

Besides these, he knows many other methods, but he hasn't found them yet...

So... what's your decision?

Fang Rui didn't dwell on this matter; he was more concerned about Orochimaru's choice, wondering whether he would choose to have it all or stick to his own method.

"The first option." After thinking for a while, Orochimaru announced his decision.

"Cash on delivery. Do you want to trade now or later?"

"Not urgent."

With his impatience and excitement dissipating, Orochimaru regained his composure. After all, this matter was extremely important and could not be rushed.

"Row."

Fang Rui had no objection to this. He turned his gaze to Fugaku, Mikoto, and Sasuke, who were having a lively conversation. So he didn't disturb the family of three and turned to leave alone.

"If you want to trade, come find me in Amegakure."

As he spoke, Fang Rui's figure gradually became transparent, and then vanished like a burst soap bubble.

"Illusion?" Orochimaru said thoughtfully, watching Fang Rui's exit, but his tone was not so certain.

He turned his gaze to the idle Rope Tree and called softly, "Rope Tree, come here."

"Teacher, is something the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Nawaki immediately ran to Orochimaru's side and looked up at him.

He looked down at Rope Tree, his expression momentarily dazed. The last time he had seen Rope Tree like this was many years ago, and he never imagined that he would have the chance to see Rope Tree again.

Add a condition: alive.

"...Come back to the base with me first, and then I'll take you to find Tsunade."

After a moment of silence, Orochimaru turned and left, his words drifting away in the wind.

"Okay." Nawaki was still in a good mood, skipping and hopping along behind Orochimaru.

Sasuke saw Orochimaru leave and immediately wanted to follow. Even though his parents had been resurrected, his desire for revenge remained unchanged. He was determined to give Uchiha Itachi a good beating.

"...I can find you a better teacher."

Sasuke stopped in his tracks at his father's words and looked at Fugaku with a questioning gaze, as if to ask: Father, you are not lying, are you?

Orochimaru is a well-known and powerful figure in the current ninja world, ranking among the top. There are few people stronger than him, and they are very difficult to recruit...

"Have I ever lied to you?" Fugaku asked sternly.

Sasuke thought about it carefully for a while and realized that his father seemed to have never lied to him.

'Okay, I'll trust you this once.'

Given Fugaku's long-established prestige, Sasuke decided to trust his father this once.

The family of three continued chatting about everyday things, asking about Sasuke's life over the past few years. Every time the conversation touched on Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's expression would become particularly ferocious.

Fugaku and Mikoto looked at each other for a while, then sighed in unison.

The two brothers, who used to be close and respectful to each other, are now...

As the saying goes, the more you love someone in the past, the more you hate them now.

Moreover, the eldest son's actions were indeed problematic, and they had no right to advise him.

Besides...

With Boss Fang backing us now, even if our eldest or youngest sons pass away peacefully, it won't be a problem; we can get them out by paying a small price.

I wonder if employees get internal discounts.

Their thoughts suddenly veered off course, like slipping on a banana peel, and they were now focused on discussing employee benefits with Boss Fang.

………………

At the same time, the five great ninja villages received a letter from Amegakure. After all, the ninja hawks, which were specially trained to deliver messages, were extremely fast.

"The Chunin Exams? They've invited us to participate?"

Tsunade, who was packing her luggage to prepare for her journey to Amegakure, stroked her smooth cheek with a strange expression.

According to my second grandfather, the person in charge of Amegakure now is the mysterious Boss Fang. So what is his reason for holding the Chunin Exams?

To gain fame? To increase the reputation of Amegakure...

Or for some other purpose?

It couldn't be just for the sake of creating a buzz!

The last reason came to mind, and Tsunade, finding it ridiculous, burst out laughing. Then she began to seriously consider whether to participate in the Chunin Exams of Amegakure.

The fact that the five strongest ninja villages in the ninja world participated in the Chunin Exams held by Amegakure is, in a sense, an acknowledgment of each other's status and an agreement to communicate on an equal footing.

So……

Do you agree?!

Tsunade agreed without careful consideration. With the mysterious Boss Fang as her backer, the rise of Amegakure was a certainty.

"Tsk, I wonder where that mysterious Boss Fang came from."

Tsunade clicked her tongue in surprise, then took out paper and pen to write a reply.

The final decision of the other ninja villages was the same: with the previous Kage providing guidance in the village, even if they went astray, they would be brought back.

As for the smaller ninja villages that hadn't received any news, their attitudes toward Amegakure's invitation varied considerably...

The leader of Kusagakure did not take the invitation from Amegakure seriously. Even if Amegakure's overall strength was greater than that of Kusagakure, and even if Amegakure's leader, Hanzo, was called a demigod, so what?

Isn't it just a small ninja village?

Is it necessary to participate in the Chunin Exams held by a small ninja village? Of course not.

With that thought in mind, the leader of Kusagakure tossed the letter aside, paying it no heed.

Takigakure, being a renowned small ninja village, naturally received the letter.

After a brief moment of thought, he decided to follow in his "elder brother's" footsteps and leave the choice to Konoha.

Orochimaru, the leader of Otogakure, was already planning to go to Amegakure. When he received news that Amegakure was going to hold the Chunin Exams, it was no problem for him to bring a few Genin to support them.

The ninja villages of Yugakure, Hoshigakure, and Yukigakure refused to participate in the Chunin Exams held by Amegakure due to internal conflicts, lack of interest in participating in other ninja village activities, belief that their own strength was too weak, or other reasons.

At the same time, Nagato and the others were contacting a large group of summoning beasts, trying various methods to invite their help. These methods naturally didn't include threats; at most, they used inducements...

Meanwhile, the construction of the competition venue was also an urgent problem to be solved. Due to limited time, Nagato and the others decided to use earth-style techniques to construct the competition venue and then reinforce it using other methods.

In terms of business, Kakuzu presented various plans for Konan to choose from. Kakuzu would organize a team to execute the chosen plan, with Deidara overseeing the process...

Chapter 261 The Working Beast is About to Go Online

Mount Myōboku, known as one of the "Three Great Holy Lands," is an area abundant with natural energy. The toad clan living there possesses the methods for cultivating immortal arts.

This "Sage Technique" refers to a technique unique to the ninja world, rather than the Sage Technique in a broader sense.

Today, the Great Toad Sage, who had been in a deep slumber, suddenly awoke. A glint flashed in his cloudy eyes, and his aged voice echoed in the empty room:

"An unprecedented change..."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to a toad inside the room. Because it was the leader of the toad clan, and it occasionally woke up to issue orders, there was always a toad guarding the room.

"Go tell Fukasaku and Shima that Jirai will be coming soon. When he arrives, bring him to see me."

"Yes."

With a bowed reply, the toad immediately left the room to inform Lord Fukasaku and Lord Shima.

Some time later, in the central area of ​​Mount Myōboku, at the residences of Fukasaku and Shima, they had received the news.

"The Great Toad Sage has woken up and said that Jiraiya will be here soon."

"There must be a new prophecy, hopefully it's a good one."

The two toads stared at each other for a while, a hint of melancholy in their eyes.

next second...

Another toad hopped and shouted, "Lord Fukasaku, Jiraiya begs you to summon him."

'…………'

The two toads stared at each other for a moment, then Fukasaku raised his hand and waved it, causing his black cloak to flutter. He then placed both hands on the hard ground.

"Reverse Spirit Communication Technique!"

A puff of white smoke appeared out of nowhere, and Jiraiya emerged from it, his voice brimming with excitement: "Boss, Big Sister, look who I brought!"

"Master Fukasaku, Master Shima, it's been a long time," Minato Namikaze said politely.

"Master Fukasaku, Master Shima, it's been a long time." Kushina Uzumaki's demeanor was quite virtuous, whether she was maintaining her image in front of Naruto Uzumaki or for some other reason was unknown.

"Hello, Fukasaku and Shima," Naruto Uzumaki said.

"Minato, Kushina?!"

Fukasaku and Shima immediately showed a "shocked toad" expression, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

"How...how did you..."

It seemed that Fukasaku and Shima spoke haltingly because they were excited.

"Someone has resurrected us!"

Minato Namikaze's explanation was within Fukasaku and Shima's expectations; in fact, they even knew of a way to do it.

As his surprise subsided, Fukasaku said, "The Great Toad Sage already told me that you would come, and instructed me to take you to see him after you arrived at Mount Myōboku."

Upon hearing this, the group inwardly marveled at the Great Toad Immortal's remarkable ability to foresee the future. After exchanging glances for a moment and considering the purpose of their trip, they nodded in agreement.

The group went to the house where the Great Toad Sage lived. Because the Great Toad Sage was very large, his house was particularly large, looking like a palace.

"Yes, you've arrived~"
