Chapter 349 The Land of Hot Springs Falls, the Evil God Approaches Konoha Village

In just half a day,

The Kingdom of Hot Springs fell to the enemy, countless evil gods ran rampant, and flesh-and-blood monsters from the abyss roamed everywhere like vengeful demons.

The civilians hid in the cellar, trembling with fear.

Through the gaps in the cover, one could see the sky shrouded in dark clouds and the enormous, floating phantom of an evil god.

Everyone felt like the end of the world had come, filled with despair.

"That despicable evil cult dares to attack Konoha! They should be prepared to be killed!"

The Konoha ninja stationed in various locations did not retreat or flinch in battle.

After receiving orders from Hiruzen Sarutobi, he learned that it was a conspiracy by the Jashin Cult, so he fought desperately to protect his territory.

Abyss Goblins are extremely troublesome.

Not only is he agile, but the strength of the spiked club he wields is comparable to that of a Chunin in taijutsu; one strike of the club can smash through a solid stone wall.

Just a few Abyss Goblins are enough to crush a small outpost of Konoha ninjas into rubble and ruins.

But,

His gelatinous skin had amazing defensive capabilities; ordinary fire and lightning techniques could only leave some charred marks and could not cause any real damage.

Even if you fight with all your might and bring the Abyss Goblin to the brink of death, it will still self-destruct.

Its power is similar to that of a grenade filled with explosives, easily inflicting serious injuries on ninjas with weak defenses.

The Konoha ninjas were filled with despair.

Fang Yi, who was watching the battle from inside the Reincarnation Game Space, was not surprised at all.

The reason why the polluted continent was able to conquer countless planets and worlds is because of its extraordinary fighting power.

Most worlds also have extraordinary powers, such as chakra and sage techniques in the ninja world, Devil Fruits and taijutsu in the One Piece world, and breathing techniques and mutated demon kings in the Demon Slayer world.

However, when encountering equally corrupted monsters and forces, they are completely crushed.

Also because of this,

Fang Yi was willing to expend his essence without hesitation, using most of it to forge equipment and upgrade his bloodline and skills.

Since the player's [basic attributes] are insufficient to combat the corrupted monsters,

Then let's equip the players with gear.

Since the player's [initial skills] are inferior to those of the corrupted monster,

Then upgrade the skill.

Only through massive consumption of resources can a large army of players be created who can easily hunt corrupted monsters.

These ninjas who didn't become players are like players in most games who don't even have basic equipment and whose equipment slots are empty, like players whose accounts have just been hacked.

Even with the same level as the Contaminated Monster, a player with only empty gear still can't defeat it.

Therefore,

The Konoha ninjas quickly realized that only players could fight against the corrupted monsters.

Ordinary ninjas were powerless to fight back.

"The Spear of Victory!"

A crimson streak of light, like an arrow, pierced through space and pierced the evil god's chest.

The evil god is constantly emitting polluting energy, summoning abyssal goblins.

Like a punctured ball, it begins to deflate and become shriveled.

Tsunade remained in her throwing posture, her entire body enveloped in divine power, clad in pure white holy light armor, resembling a goddess descending from the heavens.

She pressed her advantage.

Her palms pressed tightly together, a surge of divine power erupted, and as she opened her palms to the sides...

A massive golden hammer, formed entirely from divine power, appeared.

Wielding the sacred giant hammer, Tsunade smashed through the Abyss Goblin blocking her path and completely crushed the evil god's clone that was the culprit.

All in one go.

[Kill the evil god's clone, reward points +150, experience +150]

A game prompt echoed in my mind.

Tsunade, however, felt no joy whatsoever. Normally, this would have been an excellent spot for grinding monsters.

The avatar of an evil god is an aggregate of negative emotions.

Naturally restrained by its own divine power, and being in a soul state, it is even more severely restrained by the paladin's abilities to the point of death.

That's why I was able to deal with the evil god's clone in such a short time.

but now,

The place where these evil god clones wreaked havoc was Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village).

Although Konoha was no longer the same after Orochimaru's destruction plan, the flag symbolizing the village did not fall.

Even though Tsunade was hesitant and dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi's various policies, she still couldn't truly let go of them.

His own younger brother, Senju Nawaki.

But someone who aspires to become Hokage would surely feel an overwhelming heartache if they saw their village destroyed like this.

the other side,

Naruto Uzumaki is like a blazing, burning sun.

He gripped the greatsword tightly with both hands and spun around continuously.

"Whirlwind Slash!"

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Rasengan Launcher Die-Hyperboshi!"

"Sacred Beast Spinning Top Shadow Clone Technique!"

The encampment was on the verge of falling, and everywhere you looked, you could see figures circling around.

Hundreds of shadow clones unleashed a whirlwind slash together, being carried around by the greatsword.

The mythical beast spinning top is rotating.

The Konoha ninjas were dazzled by what they saw.

Sasuke glanced helplessly at his friend, who looked like a ballerina, and decided to leave rather than bother him, riding away on a flaming sword that burned with intense black light.

"Don't be afraid, everyone!"

Naruto's voice seemed to echo around, carrying a sense of resonance.

"The evil god's clone is in a spirit state and fears ninjutsu. I'm distributing equipment that can enhance your ninjutsu abilities to you. All you need to do is kill the evil god's clone, and those abyss goblins will fall into chaos!"

Although Naruto is usually quite oblivious,

However, their combat awareness was particularly sharp, and they had already grasped the key to the battle, advising the ninjas not to bother with the troublesome Abyss Goblins.

The evil god's clone is like an abyss summoner capable of summoning goblins.

Once the summoner is dealt with, the Abyss Goblins, which are summoned creatures, will be defeated without any further attack.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

"He is the son of the Fourth Hokage, the successor to the Yellow Flash!"

Looking at the figure surrounded by golden flames

In the hearts of all the Konoha ninjas, the image of the one who once turned the tide in the Ninja War, made great contributions to Konoha, and saved the day during the Nine-Tails' rampage appeared.

"Golden Spinning Top!"

It's unclear who made the call.

Immediately following was a continuous response; even the civilians hiding in the cellar crawled out and shouted out Naruto's new name.

In the ninja world

Ninjas who are recognized by the public are naturally given a prestigious title.

For example, Hanzo the Salamander of the Land of Rain was known as the God of Shinobi.

There are also the legendary Sannin: Sakumo Hatake of Konoha and the Yellow Flash.

Now, Naruto Uzumaki also has his own title.

Golden spinning top!

Hokage Building, temporary command center.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was smoking a pipe, with a huge crystal ball in front of him reflecting the situation at various ninja outposts in the Land of Hot Water.

The art of telescopes

Through barriers and spells, one can observe everything within the area.

The leaders of various ninja clans were gathered around.

Their faces were particularly grim as they looked at the Konoha ninja encampment being constantly destroyed and crushed.

Players from Konoha have already been dispatched to the battlefield.

Hoping to salvage the advancing front towards Konoha, in just half a day, nearly a third of the Land of Hot Springs had already fallen into the contamination of the evil god.

just,

Once dispatched ninjas leave the territory of their clans in Konoha, they cannot be resurrected after death.

Those players are the apple of their respective races' eye, the treasures of their clans.

They would never send players of various races to their deaths unless absolutely necessary.

Don't be fooled by Tsunade and Naruto's ability to easily defeat the evil god's clones; most players simply don't possess their level of strength.

The combat power of one of the evil god's avatars is [600].

It was the Abyss Summoner, protected by layers of Abyss Goblins, and it took several Lv.30 elite players to barely kill him through maneuvering and tactics.

One wrong move and you could be killed by the evil god's clone.

After the battle ends,

The ninja clan is determined to find the culprit behind the evil god's attack and then tear him to pieces.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed the increasingly subtle atmosphere within the command center.

My heart sank.

Suddenly, his eyes glazed over as he saw Naruto Uzumaki distributing the equipment that the village had painstakingly crafted.

He didn't say anything, but unconsciously his brows furrowed slightly.

Ordinary ninjas cannot directly wear game equipment.

It must be forged in reality by a craftsman to be free from level restrictions and suitable for ordinary ninjas to wear.

Forging, sewing, cloth armor, light armor, heavy armor, plate armor, light armor.

To create a complete set of armor, not to mention the material consumption, just developing life skills is a huge expense.

Therefore,

Ordinary ninjas must complete various missions issued by the Hokage to earn clan contribution points in order to wear equipment.

This is a major source of income for the village.

So, Naruto Uzumaki, you just gave away all that hard-earned money to ordinary ninjas like that?

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath.

Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say much.

Understanding the unique situation of facing an attack by an evil god, distributing equipment for free is a reasonable act.

If I were to actually order the recall of the equipment that has already been distributed, the Will of Fire would probably be on the verge of collapse.

just,

Who was Naruto following orders to use this tactic of winning people over? Was it the Fourth Hokage?

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew very well that he was merely the acting Hokage.

The fact that the Fourth Hokage has not yet relinquished power after his resurrection has already attracted the attention of some forces in the village. Perhaps the Fourth Hokage instructed Naruto to do this in order to diminish his prestige as Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, thinking to himself, "The appearance of the Rinne Game has broken the centuries-old ninja world order. It's no longer an era where strength alone can make you Hokage."

"It's not that I'm obsessed with the Hokage's power, it's just that the Fourth Hokage is too young and has only just been resurrected, so he simply can't control the complex situation in Konoha right now."

"Naruto, I hope you won't be misled by those with ulterior motives!"

"Otherwise, for the sake of the village, I have no choice but to..."
