Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 14 This is a Revolution in the Ninja World

That's how it is.

Asma knelt on one knee, his face serious as he reported to his superior.

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued smoking his pipe, his expression shifting uncertainly.

The two senior advisors were seated next to him. This was a special situation with far-reaching implications, and even the Hokage could not make a decision on his own.

"Hiruzen, you're too weak!"

boom.

The door to the Hokage's office was pushed open.

Danzo Shimura, the leader of Root, walked in and said coldly, "As long as we find the mastermind behind this, everything will be resolved."

Asuma remained kneeling and retorted, "We've gathered too little intelligence. We don't even know where the mysterious game merchant is hiding, or even if he's in the ninja world. How can we possibly find him?"

Danzo Shimura stated firmly, "I'm confident that the mysterious merchant is hiding in the game's starting village. A thorough search will suffice..."

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his hand on the table, signaling him to quiet down.

The mysterious merchant possesses various unpredictable strengths, and it is best not to make an enemy of him before you have thoroughly investigated his abilities.

Has my old friend's brain stopped working properly after being in the dark for too long?

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo Shimura opened his single eye without showing any weakness and looked at the Hokage with imposing force.

In the end, he gave in and sat down next to the two advisors.

With disheveled hair and glasses, Mitokado Homura calmly said, "Since Kirigakure is investing funds in the Samsara Game, we can't fall behind. We can allocate 200 million first."

"Not enough, I need a billion."

"I object!"

Wearing a traditional headdress and exquisite clothing, Koharu Utatane shook her head repeatedly and said, "The Daimyo of the Land of Fire intends to weaken the existence of ninjas and has been cutting funding year after year. The village no longer has any extra funds to squander."

Although the Land of Fire is wealthy, the ninja villages do not engage in production and rely mostly on government funding for their operations.

She controls the finances of Konoha Village; even if it's only 200 million, let alone 1 billion, some aspects would have to be sacrificed.

She was a conservative and believed that the cycle game was most likely a conspiracy by some special force, and didn't want to waste her money.

"In that case, let's discuss this matter again later."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very familiar with the scene before him. Although the argument was not intense, it gave him a good chance to save face.

He didn't want to make decisions that had no answers and could potentially lead to bad consequences.

As the Hokage, all you need to do is diligently handle the matters at hand.

His age, considered old for a ninja, was noticeably declining, and one could clearly feel the deterioration in his physical abilities and the loss of his energy.

He no longer possessed the ambitions of his youth; he simply wanted to peacefully resign from the position of Hokage and enjoy his later years.

If a major decision-making error were to occur at this time, he, as the Hokage, would be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Can't!"

Asuma's tone suddenly turned sharp as he said, "As someone who has experienced it firsthand, I understand the mystery and power of the Samsara Game far better than you do."

"Have you all forgotten?"

"In the past, the warriors were the ones who possessed power in this world, while ninjas were nothing more than rats in the gutter, doing shady things."

"The appearance of the Sage of Six Paths changed the way of life in the world. Samurai gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and only some samurai families in the Land of Iron were left to eke out a living."

"I have a feeling that the cycle of reincarnation can also change the world!"

Asuma's eyes were resolute as he said, "This is a revolution in the ninja world. If the village misses out on this momentous change, it will become a victim just like the samurai!"

"shut up!"

Danzo Shimura's eyes turned sinister. He abruptly stood up and said, "Are these some bizarre, unseen methods enough to give you the right to interfere in the village's higher-ups' decisions, Jonin Sarutobi?"

He seemed to be talking about Asuma, but his eyes were actually glancing at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a headache coming on and looked at Asuma with a complex mix of melancholy and longing.

It's as if I'm seeing myself when I was younger.

Back then, when surrounded by countless enemy troops, I was just as passionate and spirited, willing to sacrifice my life to block their retreat.

Am I really getting old?

Koharu Utatane closed her eyes and whispered, "She's just a merchant who sells games and covets ninjutsu. How can she compare to the Sage of Six Paths? Besides, even the Sage of Six Paths is just a legend."

Clang.

Asma opened his backpack, took out the exchange items, and placed them on the table.

Ninja World History, 500 reward points.

It tells the story of the origins and history of ninjas, including the Otsutsuki clan that appeared in the distant past, the fruit of the Divine Tree, and the birth of Ninjutsu.

The scroll was passed around, and everyone present frowned after reading it, finding it utterly absurd.

Mitomon Homura shook his head repeatedly, scolding, "Nonsense! The identity of the mysterious merchant is a mystery, how can the history of the ninja world in the Samsara Game be taken seriously? You're too muddle-headed!"

Alien visitors, the chakra of the Divine Tree... Are we all in a vegetative state?

madness.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long while before saying softly, "Asuma, the ninja world history you redeemed from the shop is too bizarre; we can't believe it for now..."

Asma stared intently at her father, whose figure was somewhat hunched, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"Thirty million!"

"What do you mean?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Asuma with a puzzled expression.

Asuma said calmly, "I was once a ninja guarding a daimyo. My head is worth thirty million, and I'm willing to bet it on the Samsara Game."

According to the rules, the collateral can be valued tenfold, which is 300 million taels.

"This is insane!"

Danzo Shimura said this, but his eyes were full of interest.

He felt inexplicably comfortable whenever he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi being annoyed.

The atmosphere in the Hokage's office building was very oppressive.

Such a heated argument hasn't happened in a long time.

Finally, with the support of Mitokado Homura, Sarutobi Asuma secured a billion yen by offering his life as collateral, which he used for the S-rank [Rinne Game] mission.

Worth 10,000 reward points.

Among them, Sarutobi Asuma voluntarily gave up all the Sarutobi family's property belonging to him as collateral.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked, unable to believe that Asuma would go to such lengths for the Rinne Game.

Behind the screen,

Fang Yi also praised Asuma's decisiveness, as the heir of the Sarutobi clan, for being able to completely give up all his assets.

That was a family that could produce a Fire Release unit of three thousand ninjas during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Sarutobi clan,

However, without a special bloodline limit, their overall talent is simply incomparable to that of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

The ability to train a massive number of ninjas requires an absolutely terrifying amount of logistical funding.

They could even break away and become an independent ninja village.

Even Mei Terumi, who served as the Fifth Mizukage, only contributed 200 million yen.

Fang Yi made a fortune from this.

"Yes, roll it up like that!"

"Sunagakure is too poor, so I have no expectations for it. What about Kumogakure and Iwagakure?"

Fang Yi unfolded the system panel.

Fang Yi

Cycle Building: Starting Village (Level 1)

Source of pollution: has been sealed off.

Reward points: 158600

"We have enough reward points. Once players have breached the outer perimeter of the castle ruins, we'll update the game to fully motivate players!"
