Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

This was the first time that the game merchant himself had met these players in real life.

"Oh, esteemed player. I have some interest in the Chunin Exams, which is why I came to Konoha."

Fang Yi glanced at Naruto.

The equipment slot contains two level 15 purple items (soul certified), the rest are blue, and it has two class skills that have been upgraded to level 15.

Level 19 Shield Warrior.

With the boost from the equipment, his four main attributes have reached the level of a Jonin.

The core skill [Righteous Punishment] further enhances the effect of countering the dark attribute, increasing skill damage by 30%.

This means that any class with a dark attribute will be subjected to enhanced attacks when facing Naruto.

Naruto Uzumaki originally defeated the corrupt ninja with his excellent talk-no-jutsu, but now it's a real damage boost.

"Wow, that's amazing. No wonder he's a merchant uncle. He was able to pick out the most delicious food as soon as he arrived in Konoha."

Naruto Uzumaki, in his carefree manner, reached out to Tekkamane and asked for a bowl of ramen.

Everyone else was quite nervous.

Asuma bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for coming. If you encounter any problems in Konoha, you can come to me directly, and I will help you solve them."

"Thank you."

Fang Yi nodded politely and continued to enjoy the ramen in his bowl.

"Yakumo".

Kurenai Yuhi looked worried and gently tugged at Yakumo Kurama's sleeve.

Kurama Yakumo, however, seemed oblivious, ignoring Yuhi Kurenai.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat awkward.

The pink-haired brat Sakura Haruno, oblivious to the situation, asked curiously, "Idiot Naruto, do you guys know this old man?"

They were clearly outsiders from aristocratic families, but everyone acted as if they were familiar with them and treated them with great respect.

We're both in Class 7, so why did you forget about me?

Naruto scratched his head and said, "This uncle is the mysterious merchant who sells games that can make us stronger."

The ban on leaking game information to game merchants has been lifted.

All the major ninja clans have recruited players, and only ordinary genin like Haruno Sakura with no background and some gatekeeper chunin who rarely participate in important events are still kept in the dark.

Therefore, Naruto Uzumaki spoke without any reservations.

Sakura Haruno had asked them many times why they had suddenly become stronger, but she couldn't tell them, which almost made her choke.

"Game. Merchant?"

After hearing Naruto's explanation, Sakura Haruno initially thought the big idiot was joking.

But after glancing at Sasuke, who wasn't amused, and Kakashi, who was also tacitly agreeing, he fell silent.

Such a thing actually happened?

Sakura looked nervously at the game merchant, a sense of anticipation rising within her.

She also wanted to become stronger. Although she used to be a pretty girl who only cared about dressing up, seeing her teammates in Class 7 getting stronger and stronger while she was standing still and feeling that she was getting further and further away from them, this pain and feeling of being isolated and helpless was hard to express.

"That's right, merchants who sell games can have the opportunity to change their fate if they become players."

Fang Yi nodded, his gaze sweeping over Haruno Sakura.

【Haruno Sakura (Purple)】

With a purple soul potential, if one follows the proper path, one can become a Jonin through their own abilities; with the guidance of a renowned teacher, one can become an elite Jonin.

Even with the best of luck, encountering a Kage-level master like Tsunade who imparts all their knowledge and provides hands-on guidance might allow one to break through to the Kage level.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sakura Haruno felt that she had caught up with Class 7, but it turned out to be just her imagination.

of course,

It's not that Sakura Haruno has low potential; reaching the level of a Jonin already puts her among the top fighters in every ninja village. It's just that she's still far from being on par with the Twins of Destiny, who possess gold potential.

Sakura Haruno asked expectantly, "Can I become a player, Mr. Merchant?"

"Just call me Fang Yi."

Fang Yi looked at the pink-haired kid with an expectant expression and said apologetically, "Your potential is not enough, so I will not issue you a game invitation."

Game invitation.

Fang Yi had already made plans; players who wanted to be invited needed at least silver potential.

Although the game invitation is worthless in my eyes, it is a qualification to become a player in the eyes of others.

Qualifications should not be given indiscriminately.

Otherwise, some players' enthusiasm for hunting pollution sources will be weakened, and their sense of identity as players will also decrease.

Only players who meet the requirements are eligible to receive an invitation.

Once this ironclad rule is established, players will cherish their player status even more, and non-players will yearn to become players and be willing to give everything and go bankrupt.

It's like having access to a beta test for an online game.

Even though it only meant entering the game slightly earlier and had no special bonuses, it was still able to fetch exorbitant prices.

Because of scarcity.

"Is that so?"

Sakura Haruno lowered her head in disappointment, her inner emotions churning.

Even the game merchants believed that they were no match for the other two members of Class 7 and were not qualified to be players.

Nearby, Naruto Uzumaki, seeing Sakura's disappointment, exclaimed, "Merchant Uncle, I was directly chosen as a player back then, so why can't Sakura become a player directly too?"

"Naruto."

Kakashi reached out and pressed his palm against the head of his oblivious, blond-haired student.

Even the Hokage had to be careful when dealing with game merchants, yet Naruto still hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter.

"It's alright. Explaining the rules of the game to those who have high hopes for the reincarnation game and to the players is my duty as a game merchant."

Fang Yi smiled indifferently.

He lifted the curtain and pointed to the black game tower that could be seen from any angle in Konoha.

He explained, "Every month, the five game towers in the ninja world will randomly recruit five hundred players. There are no conditions or qualifications required; it's all about luck to have the chance to change your destiny."

"Commoners, through sheer luck, became newly rich nobles, living a life of comfort and security. Nobles, through sheer luck, began to expand their territories. Unknown ninjas rose to become the elite of their villages."

"The ninja world has been changed because of this."

Speaking of which,

Fang Yi paused, looked at Kurama Yakumo beside him, and said, "The other way is to meet a game merchant and receive a game invitation personally from the merchant. Only those with sufficient potential will be selected."

"By now, there should only be a handful of people like Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Itachi Uchiha."

Kurama Yakumo revealed a look of relief, unconsciously clenching the black envelope in his arms.

Is a game invitation such a precious item?

"Itachi Uchiha?"

Sasuke, who had been silent all along, suddenly widened his eyes upon hearing the familiar name.

The madman who wiped out his clan, Uchiha Itachi, has also become a player?

The other party had infiltrated the village earlier, but did not display any game-related abilities during their battle with me. This means that they only became a player after escaping Konoha.

Thinking of this, Sasuke breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He didn't want his revenge to become more difficult; once Itachi Uchiha became a player, his revenge would be even more troublesome.

Once back in the game, a thorough search must be conducted to find Uchiha Itachi, who is still at a low level.

Block the respawn point directly.

They killed him as soon as he left the safe zone, preventing Itachi Uchiha from even getting the reward points for resurrection.

Chapter 78 Quest Scroll

Sasuke thought to himself, a look of gleeful malice spreading across his face.

In reality, you awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan by killing your entire clan, and I can't defeat your Susanoo.

But in the game, as a level 19 Spellblade Master, isn't it easy for me to easily crush a newbie like you?

"Orochimaru?"

Kakashi and Asuma looked serious, not expecting that the legendary Sannin who had defected from Konoha would also become a player.

Naruto asked somewhat unwillingly, "Isn't there any other way?"

It's not just that I like Sakura Haruno.

He also cares about the bond with Class 7. Although he is a bit oblivious, he has a very strong and keen intuition.

Because Sakura wasn't a player, he had less and less interaction with Sasuke and her, and even their conversations became increasingly silent.

That's why he took the initiative to bring Kakashi-sensei out for a meal, hoping to ease the growing distance between them.

"Of course."

"Since my identity is that of a game merchant, I will definitely sell game items, just like special characters in the game. If you meet them, you will be pleasantly surprised."

Fang Yi stretched out his hand, and suddenly a huge cloth bag appeared before everyone's eyes.

All players whose eyes were on the bag, including Kakashi and Kurenai who weren't players, could see the pop-up light screen panel.

[The Game Merchant's Pocket]

Upon opening it, there were no dazzling array of goods inside, only two solitary items.
