Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 102 The Video of Predicting the Future

[Video starts playing]

The scene slowly appeared.

Inside a classroom, ninjas from various countries sat with exam papers laid out on the desks.

……

Off-site,

Asuma's heart clenched, his gaze fixed intently on Naruto Uzumaki, or more precisely, on the reward of the golden critical hit.

Until now,

Neither the Fog Shadow nor the Dawn organization, which won the family tokens at the auction, made any move to establish a family. After all, silver hearts are too rare and very difficult to collect, and merchants are waiting for the best price to sell.

However, according to Asuma's deduction, it is likely that both sides will soon establish their own families.

Having given up hope of being among the first to establish a clan due to his inferior token, Naruto unexpectedly brought a pleasant surprise.

If the answer is correct, the conditions for activating the clan token will be met, and Konoha will become the first power to establish a clan?

"You must answer correctly!"

Asma watched the video intently.

"These are the silver materials needed to activate the family token. Five hearts can sell for six figures in reward points!"

The surrounding players went crazy.

His gaze was filled with such jealousy that it seemed he wanted to devour Naruto Uzumaki alive.

Everyone else pays 500 reward points for registration, why are you special?

"Don't worry, the game merchant said that even if the blond kid answers wrong, we can still answer."

One player consoled himself.

He prayed in his heart that the seemingly dim-witted blond kid wouldn't answer correctly.

The video continues to play.

The scene outside the window flashed by, but sharp-eyed players still noticed the Fire Shadow Rock, which was carved with four human face sculptures.

Then, Ibiki Morino's scarred face appeared.

The rules for the first round of the Chunin Exams, the written exam, will now be explained.

"The Chunin Exams?"

"Aren't we participating in the Konoha Chunin Exams right now? What time period is shown in the video?"

Even the five figures in the stands showed curiosity.

especially,

The video showed Naruto Uzumaki looking extremely distressed, like someone with an upset stomach waiting to use the restroom. It was even more puzzling to see him sitting in the exam room in such agony.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, seemed to realize what had happened that night in the Forest of Death.

Mei Terumi looked curious and asked, "Hokage, do you know the situation?"

Raikage A remained silent, but shifted his body slightly, bringing his ear to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Is there something you're having trouble saying, Hokage?"

Onoki raised his head and looked at the game merchant's enormous body.

Even having witnessed Susanoo firsthand, he felt that the former was like a weak chick in front of the game merchant.

"If game merchants hadn't appeared in the ninja world, this would probably have been the original trajectory of the ninja world..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and decided not to hide the news.

Once the video finishes playing, or if two more videos appear later, these clear-headed viewers will quickly realize what's going on.

There's no need to hide it.

After hearing his words, the shadows fell silent.

"Can this kind of thing...predict the future?"

Mei Terumi looked at the game merchant with a serious expression.

In other words, the Golden Critical Strike not only grants rewards but also allows players to learn about the future of the ninja world through videos.

Although the landscape of the ninja world has changed since the arrival of the game merchant, there is still important information that can be obtained.

Thinking of this,

Mei Terumi watched the video with even greater concentration.

The screen showed a series of images of the test takers until it finally froze, revealing the questions that needed to be answered.

[Question: How did candidate Naruto Uzumaki complete the exam?]

At this moment,

A countdown appears in Naruto's square. He has two minutes to answer the question.

"what?"

Naruto blinked blankly. Was the video over already?

I never expected the video to play content related to myself. The Chunin Exams actually require a written test?

Seeing Naruto standing there dumbfounded, Sasuke said anxiously, "Answer quickly, there's no time left!"

But the sound was blocked and couldn't reach Naruto's ears at all.

[Off-field assistance: 50 bonus points]

[Hint: 50 reward points]

"I choose off-field support: Uchiha Sasuke!"

Naruto did not hesitate to spend 50 reward points to apply for off-field assistance.

He knew his own limitations perfectly well; he was completely clueless about questions that involved observation skills.

hum.

The square where Sasuke was standing suddenly grew larger, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

It's also a two-minute countdown.

"You big idiot, the video shows Ibiki Morino as the examiner. Maybe he knows the crux of the problem. Are you out of your mind to choose me as your outside helper?"

Sasuke twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to judge Naruto's blunt way of thinking.

He frowned, pondering possible answers.

"I'll give Naruto the answer."

In the end, Sasuke came up with this answer.

The exam rules shown in the video state that if someone abandons the entire ninja team, it's considered a failure. Naruto definitely wouldn't be able to answer the questions on his own. If I want to pass the exam, there's a high probability that I'll pass the answers to Naruto.

[An incorrect answer will result in the Golden Strike question being changed to a public question, open to everyone, with one chance per person.]

"Shikaku, can you figure out the answer?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing on the stands, asked Shikaku Nara, who was serving as the head of the guards on the floor below.

Although Nara Shikaku had developed a slight estrangement from the Hokage because of Danzo, they were still considered close as they were from a friendly family that had continued from the Warring States period.

Shikaku, known as the strategist of Konoha, closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "When the video played, it paused on the exam paper for two seconds. I feel there must be some hidden meaning..."

"Implication?"

The shadows could all hear Shikaku's analysis and looked thoughtful.

Finally, Shikaku said seriously, "It's about the difficulty. The questions on the exam are too difficult for the genin to answer. Considering Morino Ibiki's usual interrogation mentality, if he were the examiner, this exam would probably not be a simple test of knowledge, but rather a test of cheating methods, that is, the ability to gather information."

The players were anxious, afraid of being beaten to it by others, but also afraid of answering incorrectly.

Fifty points are awarded for each answer.

If you answer correctly, you can win a prize ten thousand times the amount, and even the movie stars can't sit still.

"Bloodstained Limits! That blond brat has a voyeuristic Bloodstained Limit!"

[Incorrect answer]

"Yellow hair? I see... It's the Mind Transfer Technique!"

[Incorrect answer]

Hundreds of incorrect answers left players scratching their heads in frustration.

In the blink of an eye, thousands more reward points were earned.

After a moment of contemplation, Onoki whispered a few words to his bodyguard.

Earth Escape Technique: Earth-遁蛛 (Earth-遁蛛 - Spider Escape Technique)

A wisp of smoke dissipated, revealing a tiny, fingernail-sized spider made entirely of sand and gravel, crawling along the walls of the dueling arena toward the inside.

At an extremely fast speed, it climbed up the fair thighs of the black soil.

After receiving the information, Kurotsuchi had an "I see" look on her face and replied, "Naruto Uzumaki didn't pass the exam."

All the players are answering questions about how to pass the exam; perhaps this question is a trap?

Judging from Naruto's somewhat dazed appearance in the video, he probably didn't even pass the test.

As expected of Grandpa Onoki.
