Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

"Prudent."

Mei Terumi looked directly at Chojuro and said, "Chojuro, what do you think would happen if I founded a new ninja academy?"

Their conversation must not be overheard by anyone else.

Especially players from Kirigakure.

Before the honest man could react, he nodded and said, "Of course it's a good thing. Any ninja who can learn ninjutsu can exchange the reward points they get from the ninjutsu they learn."

Although most commoners have poor talent and cannot master advanced ninjutsu, the amount of chakra they can refine is also pitifully small.

However, it can be exchanged for several hundred reward points, which can be considered as starting assets.

This can alleviate the pressure on the fiscal expenditure of the Fog Shadow.

Mei Terumi said slowly and deliberately, "What if I wanted to establish a ninja academy that could accept tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of civilians?"

After she finished speaking, her exquisite emerald green eyes fell on Chojuro, intentionally or unintentionally.

"That's good, the more ordinary players there are, the more...what will the players have!?"

Chojuro belatedly realized what was happening and looked at the Mizukage in shock, stammering, "Lord Mizukage, are you trying to emulate Orochimaru of the Fire Empire?"

Under normal circumstances, how could it possibly be necessary to recruit tens of thousands of civilians as ninjas?

Based on current information,

Orochimaru was the only one in the entire ninja world to do this: train all civilians to become ninjas, and then use that training to support the Fire Empire.

It was precisely because of this unconventional and subversive change that the Fire Empire became the enemy of the entire ninja world.

Although powerful,

However, it also constantly faces the risk of being besieged.

Unexpectedly, the Mizukage of their own Kirigakure village had the same idea.

"Didn't you see Orochimaru's strength?"

Mei Terumi's expression remained unchanged as she pointed to the projection on the plaza outside the window.

Despite being at the peak of the first tier, Orochimaru was able to suppress a second-tier lord monster in battle, which means he must be worth at least a million reward points.

The Fire Empire was able to extract this money thanks to the crazy changes that recruited civilians.

"But, Lord Mizukage, haven't you considered the attitude of the ninja clan?"

Chojuro pointed out the most crucial contradiction, saying, "The ninja clans of the Fire Empire were all wiped out by Orochimaru, existing in name only. Only Hyuga Neji became a noble, but he was still controlled by the Empire and could not be as free as ordinary ninja clans."

This is why the Fire Empire was ostracized by the entire ninja world.

Most powerful ninjas are backed by ninja clans.

There are very few commoner ninjas who are not supported by ninja clans. They are either used as cannon fodder on the battlefield or struggle at the bottom of society, only managing to become Chunin by middle age.

The backbone of the ninja world consists of the core members of the ninja clans.

The Fire Empire's ruling model completely sealed the fate of the ninja clan.

They pulled civilian ninjas, who had always been treated as cannon fodder, to the very center of the ninja world stage, replacing the ninja clans.

Who can bear this?

Don't be fooled by the current unity of Kirigakure; it's because they share a common goal.

If Mei Terumi's words were to get out...

Most ninja clans would defect, or even leave their clans altogether and betray Kirigakure.

Just like Konoha Village back then.

at first,

Most of the ninja clans didn't care about Hiruzen Sarutobi's life or death, and even the closest of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans reluctantly acknowledged Orochimaru as their acting Hokage.

Why did they ultimately betray each other?

Wasn't it because of the Fire Empire's ruling model that they broke into Konoha Prison and rescued Hiruzen Sarutobi?

"Therefore, we need to take some action."

Mei Terumi said these words to him,

She wanted to gather people who would do these things with her, and Chojuro was a very suitable candidate.

The plans of the Hidden Mist Empire cannot be made public for the time being.

They could only secretly plot and wait until the deed was done, until the number of commoner ninjas increased unconsciously, the power of the ninja clan gradually declined, and they could finally see the light of day when they could command a large following.

before,

The resistance to this matter is enormous, and it may take years or even decades.

But now, with the help of the Reincarnation Game, as long as there is a meticulous plan, the [Misty Empire] can be created in less than a year.

The status quo of Kirigakure will continue to be maintained.

Mei Terumi sensed something was wrong; it might very well become the Konoha of yesterday.

Chapter 295 Orochimaru's Hesitation

"Lord Mizukage, in that case we will be standing against all the Hidden Mist Ninja clans."

Although Chojuro appears simple and honest, he is actually very quick-witted.

Otherwise, he could not have become the Sixth Mizukage, who was originally destined by fate, and possessed an extremely strong political mind.

I understand very well.

If they carry out Mei Terumi's orders, they will be hated by all the ninja clans.

They were even treated as enemies.

The assassinations, poisonings, and assassinations were more severe than during the Blood Mist period when the fourth generation of rulers were in power.

Countless ninja clans wished they could skin the two alive and tear them apart, to serve as a warning to all new ninjas who wanted to establish an empire.

"Don't you find it strange?"

Mei Terumi asked with a deep gaze, "Whether it's the Arad Continent, the ruins of the starting village, or the otherworld behind various game abilities."

"It is rare to see a powerful superhuman working for a weak, ordinary person who has no ability whatsoever and is so frail that even a slightly trained genin could kill him."

The weak, ordinary people refer to the highest ruler of the country, the daimyo.

this time,

The honest man was puzzled and said, "Aren't ninjas born for fighting and killing? The daimyo and the country provide us with food and funds, and we are responsible for fighting for the daimyo."

This has been a consensus for hundreds or thousands of years: when ninjas appeared, they were mercenaries recruited by daimyo to invade other countries' territories.

Few people can think outside the box of a ninja's mindset.

"That's right, that's the consensus in the ninja world."

Mei Terumi nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "In other words, according to this logic, as long as ninjas exist, the ninja world is destined to be peaceful, and we will fight each other generation after generation."

Ninjas are born for killing, and the continuous emergence of ninjas means a continuous killing.

"This"

Chojuro was speechless.

Whether commoners or ninjas, nobles or daimyo, everyone in the ninja world has thought about peace.

Some people, like Yahiko and Jiraiya, are determined to pursue it.

Some people have already given up.

"I racked my brains, constantly flipping through those complicated and tedious books that did not help my strength in the slightest."

Mei Terumi's gaze remained calm as she said, "In the end, I've come to my own conclusion."

"There is no ninja world, and ninjas should not exist. These are all wrong things."

The voice is flat.

Chojuro listened with a pounding heart.

Has Lord Mizukage gone insane from practicing the secret techniques of the Explosive Flame Mage?

However, a sliver of curiosity still compelled him to ask, "Are you saying that the current flaws in the ninja world shouldn't exist?"

"That's it."

Mei Terumi's voice was crisp and clear, reaching his ears clearly as she said, "I have read most of the national histories within the ruins."

“Those countries all developed step by step from tribes to villages, and then to ethnic groups and nations, through a long process of development.”

"But in our ninja world, there is only slaughter."

The ninja world is like a group of children, who should experience a childhood filled with bumps and bruises, but none that are fatal, accumulating enough experience and wisdom along the way.

Then, when they reach adulthood, they begin to explore the meaning of peace.

Disputes and conflicts, bloodshed and death are not to be feared. With sufficient wisdom, there will eventually be victors to change the status quo.

but now,

These children, still innocent and ignorant, possessed powerful chakra, skipping the age of accumulating experience, and began fighting each other.

Children are constantly dying.

There are always victors, but they lack the wisdom and experience to change everything.

New, strong children will still emerge to replace the aging victors.

They're just children.

This shouldn't be done.

Having read countless books, Mei Terumi believes that the entire ninja world is a mistake.

Whether it's the Will of Fire or the Will of Stone, the world should not be ruled by childlike wisdom.
