Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

With perfect looks and figure, born into a wealthy family, he was once a top noble in Konoha, but his age is just a little too young.

"Probably not."

Asma shook his head and explained his intention to use funds to purchase trial tokens.

He didn't dare keep the game merchants waiting too long.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly and asked, "Can a trial token guarantee that the user will have player status?"

The Konoha Game Squad only has a few hundred members at most, so having ten more players would definitely be a good thing.

Five thousand reward points.

Although expensive, the village now has around 130,000 reward points in assets available through hunting corrupted monsters in the game and auctioning off a Ghost Iron Mine.

It can be used to purchase trial tokens.

Asma shook his head and said truthfully, "What the merchant means is that only by passing the trials can one obtain the qualification for the game, and the difficulty of the trials..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, then sighed, "The Samsara Game is great in every way, except it's too expensive."

If it weren't for Fang Yi's ability to suddenly reverse his ninjutsu and use the telescope technique to accurately capture the Hokage Building, he would have directly accused the other party of being greedy for money.

Upon hearing that there was a possibility of failure, Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated, not wanting to waste his reward points on buying tokens.

"We can't skimp on this money."

Asuma said firmly.

Every faction with even a little bit of resources is trying its best to turn its elites into players and participate in the reincarnation game.

Right now, there are ten trial tokens in front of me. Once I pass the trial, I can become a player. I absolutely cannot give up this opportunity, even if there is a possibility of failure.

Hiruzen Sarutobi countered, "What about the silver materials?"

He actually wanted to establish a clan more than to become a player.

With the support of the Yugi clan and the Sarutobi clan's vast manpower and funds, he will further consolidate his control over the village and suppress the arrogant ninja clan.

The inferior family token dropped by Asma requires a full twenty [Salina Hearts] to open.

Thanks to Naruto's incredible luck, we only need five more hearts to unlock the clan token. We'll save our 100,000 reward points to buy silver materials.

Asuma said calmly, "All the funds of the ninja clans will be handed over to the village for unified management."

These are the applications he keeps submitting.

However, his proposal was consistently rejected by the Hokage and senior advisors, and he was severely reprimanded.

Because of this, Asuma, the son of the Hokage, is now treated much like the Uchiha were back then, isolated and looked at with strange eyes.

These are some tactics employed by the ninja clans to discourage him from making a move.

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then said, "Asuma, this is not a time of war."

Unifying the funds of all ninja clans was something that wasn't even possible during the war years.

Aside from ninja gods like the First Hokage who could suppress all ninja clans, ninja clans have always been an extremely difficult group to deal with in any other period.

The second Hokage's Anbu, ninja academies, and various policies were all subtly suppressing the ninja clans. Although they were effective, it was not yet time to truly reap the rewards.

Even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who are close to the Hokage lineage,

If they were to make the decision to pool their funds, they would quickly band together for mutual support and distance themselves from the Hokage.

Asuma said with a serious expression, "Father, war is coming soon. I don't believe that those forces are just trying to show off their players' strength during the Chunin Exams. They definitely want to take the opportunity to attack Konoha. We must prepare early."

Players in the logistics department have reported that the flow of materials within the game has intensified, with major factions starting to buy up large quantities of low-level materials and potions.

This is not a normal situation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi inhaled the last bit of tobacco into his lungs, slowly exhaled, and asked, "Have you thought about the consequences?"

Even Sakumo Hatake, who intimidated the Sannin, was isolated and criticized by the entire village back then, and the shadow of the ninja clan was inevitably behind him.

The failure of that secret mission caused considerable losses to both the village and the ninja clan.

Compared to that, the approach of unifying funds is even better.

What will happen to Asma, who proposed this idea?

"It's just death."

Asuma answered without hesitation, as if he had been prepared for this all along.

Brothers, after reading everyone's comments, does everyone dislike the protagonist pulling people off the field? If so, I won't include these kinds of things after I finish writing my drafts.

Chapter 80 Root Laboratory

"40,000 reward points."

Looking at his son's determined eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi was momentarily dazed.

In the end, I could only sigh helplessly.

He really didn't want to see Asuma and the ninja clans on opposite sides. He himself was able to become Hokage smoothly thanks to the help of ninja clans like Ino-Shika-Cho.

Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki pooled their money to buy two trial tokens and gave them to Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake.

Without waiting for Asuma to return, Naruto stayed behind to guard the two members of Team 7 who were undergoing the trial.

After Sasuke purchased the mission scroll, a string of black text popped up in front of him.

[Quest Scroll]

Mission objective: Destroy a dark underground laboratory in the northeastern part of the Death Forest.

Quest Reward: Soul Scroll Lv.15 (Purple) *1

There is no penalty for failure; you can choose to refuse.

However, if you refuse, you will lose one mission opportunity, leaving you with four missions.

"The quest reward is a Soul Scroll?"

Sasuke's face lit up with joy.

To perform Soul Certification on purple equipment, even a relatively inexpensive five-piece armor set requires 5,000 reward points.

A Soul Scroll can authenticate one piece of equipment of the same quality for free.

The first quest you purchase will yield a high-value item.

There are four more tasks to follow.

This is a rare opportunity to profit from the reincarnation game, so we definitely can't give up the mission and must seize the opportunity.

Fang Yi glanced at Sasuke, who was leaving excitedly with a look of immense satisfaction, and smiled without saying a word.

You might make a small profit, but I will never lose money.

"The Forest of Death has been designated as the location for the Chunin Exams, and unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering."

A gatekeeper wearing Chunin armor stopped Sasuke from approaching from outside the barbed wire fence.

"understood."

Sasuke nodded and chose to take a detour.

The vast Death Forest couldn't possibly have sentry posts all of it. Even with barbed wire fences blocking the way, they were practically useless to Sasuke.

Swing a knife.

In an inconspicuous corner, a gap was cut into the barbed wire.

Sasuke stepped into the Death Forest. The huge canopies that spread out like mushrooms blocked out the sun, making the entire interior of the Death Forest gray.

With the mission guidance in mind, Sasuke quickly arrived at the mission location.

"No?"

Sasuke looked around but didn't find the laboratory mentioned in the mission.

The surroundings were dense withered branches and fallen leaves, as well as countless huge tree trunks, no different from the environment elsewhere.

The Curse of Black Flame.

A pure black flame blazed up and coalesced into a black talisman, hovering at the fingertip.

Sasuke knelt on the ground, gently inserting two fingers into the ground, and black flames spread outwards from the center like flowing water.

This is the same skill used when chasing Uchiha Itachi.

【Black Flame Curse (Purple) Lv.5】: After release, it causes 5 enemy units within a 500-meter radius to be captured by the aura of black flame. Attacking units captured by the Black Flame Curse will deal additional damage.

Sasuke was able to sense the approximate location of the target captured by the Black Flame Curse.

The farther away you are, the less clear your senses become.

If the Black Flame Curse is not broken, it can last for two days.

"found it!"

Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes and looked at a huge, inconspicuous rock covered in moss.

He drew his long sword from his waist and slashed straight down.

boom.

Dust billowed up, and it didn't feel like chopping rocks; it felt more like chopping iron chains and gears.

Beneath the shattered rock exterior, hinges and gears lay hidden within, revealing a concealed elevator before Sasuke's eyes.

"Strange, who created such a place in the Forest of Death?"

Sasuke sensed that something was wrong.

I was just overwhelmed by the Soul Scroll and rushed over in a daze, but then I remembered that this is the real world.

The laboratory that could appear inside the Death Forest must be related to the village.

Oops.
