Chapter 13 Asuma's Will

The white-haired loli asked疑惑地问道, "If players feel it's not worth it, wouldn't it be better not to develop life skills?"

"Not train them?"

Fang Yi laughed heartily and said, "If Konoha doesn't train them, does Kirigakure not?"

"Life skills professions can continuously produce equipment and items, like an assembly line. The equipment produced can not only be used by players, but can also be directly equipped by the village's ninjas!"

"Once someone takes the lead, the other forces will absolutely not sit idly by and wait to be destroyed."

"Think about it, if war breaks out, the Hidden Mist ninjas are fully armed, and even though they are all Chunin, they have the lowest level of white-grade equipment enhancement, which can easily kill Konoha ninjas of the same level. How are you going to fight this war?"

"What will happen when the ninjas learn that the reason for this is that you, Hokage, were unwilling to invest in training professional ninjas, leading to an extremely high mortality rate among Konoha ninjas during battles?"

Putting herself in the ninja's shoes, the white-haired loli couldn't help but clench her fists.

If she were a Konoha ninja, even if she were brainwashed by the Will of Fire, she would still be dissatisfied with the Hokage's decisions.

At that point, a loss of fighting spirit would be a minor issue; they might even storm the Hokage Building and force him to resign.

This is a blatant, overt conspiracy.

Because the five great ninja villages dare not gamble on whether other countries are willing to cultivate livelihood professions, they can only plan ahead and cultivate them themselves first.

At that point, it will become an unstoppable arms race.

All the resources and money consumed would eventually end up in Fang Yi's pocket.

……

Inside the ruined castle.

Hundreds of players gathered, including ordinary players who knew they were no match, but still came hoping to snag a bargain.

"What a coincidence, it's Mr. Sarutobi Asuma."

A mature beauty with a stunning figure, fair skin, long brown hair, and emerald green eyes glanced flirtatiously at the Konoha team.

Behind him stood Chojuro, who had short blue hair and looked honest and simple.

Asma frowned slightly, not quite recognizing the woman before him, and asked疑惑地问道, "You are...?"

He might have some recollection of other ninja villages.

However, Kirigakure was extremely isolated, and the only ninjas known to the village were the masters of the ninja swords who were active during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

"That's true, after all, Kirigakure has been isolated for too long."

Mei Terumi wore a dignified smile, showing no annoyance at not being recognized. She said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Mei Terumi. I am the soon-to-be Fifth Hokage of Kirigakure. In a few days, a letter should be delivered to your village."

"Water Shadow!"

Asuma's pupils constricted, and he instinctively gripped the knuckle duster in his hand.

Then he realized that this was a game of reincarnation, and even the God of Ninjas would have to start from scratch, which made him feel relieved.

I've heard that Kirigakure has recently undergone a major upheaval, including a large-scale coup. It seems that the ultimate beneficiary is this young woman in front of me.

Not to be underestimated.

Mei Terumi smiled sweetly, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and asked gently, "Everyone, would you like to cooperate?"

Tsunade frowned, glanced at the other person's physique, which was no less impressive than her own, and said, "How do you intend to cooperate?"

She disliked this pretentious woman.

"So Lady Tsunade is also a player of the Rinne Game."

Mei Terumi's eyes darted around, and when she saw Tsunade with her arms crossed, she immediately greeted her politely.

The opponent's level was too low; I almost overlooked them.

Chojuro stepped forward and said, "The Ghost General is not easy to deal with. After we've worn down the other players, we'll attack together and split the loot."

Neji's face was icy as he asked, "There are only two of you. You want to split the loot with us?"

Mei Terumi smiled gently and took the initiative to reveal her true nature.

A five-piece gargoyle set, plus the weapon Vampire Scepter, a full set of level 5 green gear.

Level 9 Fire Mage.

This immediately put the Konoha team on high alert.

Even the highest-level Asuma only barely reached level 8, and his equipment was scattered and not a complete set at all.

Even if the entire team swarms forward, they probably wouldn't be a match for Mei Terumi.

"How is that possible?"

Naruto rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

Less than half a month after the start of the Reincarnation Game, their team activities were not as well-developed or as high-level as the two from Kirigakure.

Tsunade sneered, "As expected of the Mizukage, quite the audacity."

It's impossible for Terumi Mei and the other person to possess a high-level green outfit, close to level 10, on their own.

Without a doubt, Kirigakure played a part in this.

"The teacher is too old and indecisive; his attitude towards the cycle of reincarnation is still unclear."

Tsunade glanced at the impoverished Konoha squad and immediately understood.

"I say, do you really think the Ghost General is yours for the taking?"

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and with a large belly could not hide the air of a shrewd businessman even when he was dressed in his uniform.

Four men followed behind him, eyeing the group who were discussing the matter with predatory intent.

boom.

Mei Terumi suddenly made a move, sweeping across the vampire staff.

Flames swirled, and steam boiled.

A pillar of fire shot out like a rushing river, instantly engulfing the five people who had no time to react.

They were sent directly back to the starting village.

Sold out instantly.

Mei Terumi is no mere figurehead. She was able to successfully stage a coup in the Blood Mist Village and become the Mizukage, demonstrating not only her immense strength but also her exceptional political skills.

Showing one's fangs is the best posture before negotiations.

She licked her lips, her smile unchanged, and said, "What do you all think, people of Konoha?"

Asma suppressed his shock and calmly replied, "We need to consider it."

Chojuro said, "No rush. The Ghost General is deep within the ruined castle. We need to deal with the Ghost Army around the castle before we can finally meet the Ghost General."

"Based on my observation, it will take at least two days. During this time, I will be waiting for you all."

That's all.

Mei Terumi bowed slightly politely, then turned and left, swaying her slender waist.

Asuma's expression turned serious as he said, "You all hunt down the ghost army first. I need to report to the Hokage."

In this situation, we need to wait for the Hokage's decision.

Mei Terumi's strength was beyond his imagination; he didn't believe that she would really be willing to distribute the spoils evenly.

Without sufficient strength, even if cooperation is achieved, the death of Ghost General will likely coincide with the annihilation of the Konoha team by Mei Terumi.

Want to take the Ghost General's spoils,

They must possess equal strength; at the very least, the Hokage must approve and allocate funds so that everyone can acquire a set of equipment to contend with Mei Terumi.

just,

Asma was troubled. He knew his father's nature all too well and had not thoroughly investigated the details of the cycle of reincarnation.

A decision will never be made until the very last moment.

"The Samsara Game is too mysterious, possessing all sorts of incredible powers, capable of completely overturning the ninja world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall situation, and overall situation).

"If the village cannot gain the upper hand in the cycle of reincarnation, it may be eliminated in the upcoming upheavals. Father, I hope you will not make a mistake in this matter."

Asma was determined to persuade the third generation.

As a child, he looked up to his father and wanted to become an outstanding ninja and Hokage like his father, to protect the village.

Unbeknownst to me, having learned of the village's dark side, I began to waver in my goals.

The Will of Fire.

How could such filthy maggots exist under the light of the flames? How could the Hokage's father pretend to be deaf and dumb?

Therefore, Asuma felt lost and left the village to become a guardian ninja protecting the daimyo.

Until now.

Sarutobi Asuma logged out, took a deep breath, and ran towards the Hokage Building at top speed.

I also have my own Will of Fire.

What matters to the village is not the Hokage, but all the vulnerable people who need protection. If a wrong decision leads to the death of those being protected, then so be it.

I would never accept that kind of will of fire!
