Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 357 Aizen's First Encounter with Konoha

A brief feeling of weightlessness,

After Aizen recovered, he had already left the world of Bleach and arrived in the Land of Hot Springs.

His figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

Looking at the devastated land, his gaze was neither sad nor happy, but a sense of novelty welled up inside him.

"So this is the ninja world? It's quite interesting. The energy in the air is strange; I can't unleash my full power."

Aizen raised his hand, stirring up the energy fluctuations nearby.

They discovered that the energy contained within the ninja world was slightly weaker in quality than that of the Bleach world.

Everything extraordinary

It all comes down to life's control over energy. If the quality of energy deteriorates, it will naturally lead to a certain degree of weakening of strength.

"But Gintoki didn't remind me about the strength of the energy. Was it because he forgot, or... is there something special about the player?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in Aizen's eyes.

His gaze swept across the battlefield, which was covered by frost and fire explosions, and suddenly, he appeared next to a wounded player.

"Who are you?"

The player, who wore a Konoha headband and had light brown eyes, was startled by Aizen's sudden appearance.

Not a ninja, nor a navy...

They didn't sense any murderous intent from the other party; in fact, the other party wasn't even a player.

It was able to bypass its own senses.

Aizen said in a kind tone, "Don't worry, I'm here to help eliminate the corrupted monsters."

He stretched out his arm to check the other person's injury.

It stands to reason,

Such close contact would definitely trigger the instinctive defense mechanisms of a ninja trained since childhood.

But it's strange.

Even after Aizen finished examining her injuries, Mitarashi Anko showed no resistance whatsoever.

Only after realizing what had happened did he hurriedly examine his injuries and discover that Aizen had already healed them.

"That's strange, you're not a player, are you?"

Mitarashi Anko wondered, "Could it be a human from another world? How could they have successfully healed such a severe injury without even using a palm technique?"

The aid from otherworldly forces is not all from players.

Just like the Navy, there are also Navy soldiers who are not yet players, but whose talents and potential are highly valued, who come to the Ninja World for training by teleportation scrolls.

"No, I am a samurai fleeing the war, who came to help when I heard Konoha's plea for help."

Aizen shook his head, denying it, and then gently advised, "While you need to fight with all your might, you must also save enough strength to protect yourself. Only then can you make a comeback."

"A moment of bravado and death will only sadden your companions."

It sounds like a lecture.

But she didn't dislike it. In fact, Mitarashi Anko felt that the other person was like a close friend who was worried about her life and death.

It was clearly the first time I had ever met this guy.

That's really strange.

"Leave the rest to me."

Aizen stood up.

He drew his Zanpakuto from his waist and looked at the destructive Abyss God in the distance, as if he were about to fight.

Mitarashi Anko quickly spoke up, "You're not even a player. If the Abyss God finds you, you'll die..."

The one who just injured her was the [Abyssal Brutalist], a melee monster similar to a shield warrior.

The [Strength] and [Constitution] attributes are probably both around 99 points, and it has skills that can enhance strength and defense.

Even elite players are no match for them.

Not to mention ordinary people like Aizen, who aren't even players.

He called himself a samurai.

In her memory, even the strongest samurai, Mifune, was only barely at the level of a Kage.

Since the advent of the Reincarnation Game, the Kage level has long been obsolete and relegated to the dustbin of history. Any Lv.19 player can rival the Kage level.

I am a level 30 swordsmanship master.

They were all easily killed by the Abyss Brutalists. For an ordinary samurai like Aizen to challenge them would be tantamount to suicide.

Shatter!

A mirage...

Mitarashi Anko felt a slight blur before her eyes, and then she saw Aizen gripping his Zanpakuto, fighting against the Abyss Brutalist.

Just as he expected,

Aizen, who was not a player, was being relentlessly beaten back by the fists of the Abyss Brute.

Like a small boat struggling to stay afloat in a raging storm.

Just as he was about to rush over to help,

But found that

The Aizen I just met is incredibly strong and fast, far surpassing ordinary samurai, probably reaching the level of a Kage.

Although they cannot compare to the brutes of the abyss

However, with his outstanding combat skills and superb swordsmanship, he made up for the huge attribute gap that seemed like a chasm.

"How is that possible?"

Hongdou was shocked, thinking she was seeing things.

This feeling is like seeing a trainee ninja at a ninja academy who is at an extreme disadvantage in terms of chakra reserves, physical abilities, and ninjutsu mastery.

They fought fiercely, relying on their combat skills and engaging in a close battle with Naruto.

Fighting opponents of higher levels is indeed quite common; Konoha is a cradle of geniuses.

Even as a genin, Kakashi Hatake was able to defeat some ordinary chunin, and even slightly weaker, more vulnerable special jonin.

Even more powerful,

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was able to rescue the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from three Cloud Ninja even before graduating from the Ninja Academy.

but……

There has to be a limit. Aizen's ability to fight opponents of higher levels is beyond Anko's comprehension.

But ironically, everything seemed perfectly reasonable.

"A genius?"

When Aizen was about to reach his limit

Anko also recovered and quickly stepped in to help. With Aizen's assistance, they defeated the Abyss Brutal.

"Are you really a samurai?"

Red Bean squinted her eyes and casually grabbed Aizen's hand.

intimate gestures,

Aizen was slightly taken aback, and like an honest person who adhered to etiquette, he quickly withdrew his hand.

But that's enough for the red bean to emanate its power.

Her [Sword Master Lv.30] skill includes a branding ability that enhances her perception.

She had just tentatively grasped Aizen's hand and indeed found no trace of ninja training.

He is a warrior who has been tempered and refined.

"That's right, my hometown is on the border of the Land of Fire, and I've never left the village."

Aizen smiled, then his eyes dimmed, and he said, "However, because of Orochimaru's scientific experiments, the village was destroyed, and I escaped. I happened to see Konoha being attacked by the Jashin, so I wanted to help."

Orochimaru?

Upon hearing the familiar name, Hongdou's body tensed up suddenly, then quickly returned to normal.

Anko Mitarashi, who studied under Orochimaru, now harbors just as much resentment towards her teacher as she once admired him.

It's not just because the other side destroyed Konoha,

Instead, from beginning to end, she was treated by Orochimaru as a tool that could be discarded at will, rather than a true partner and disciple.

Red Bean clenched her teeth, staring intently at Aizen.

I wanted to see something on his face.

A samurai from the Land of Fire, possessing Kage-level strength, and who brought up Orochimaru himself—it's hard not to suspect that Orochimaru was behind it.

just,

Aizen merely displayed a slight awkwardness at being stared at by the opposite sex.

Even with all her senses activated, Anko couldn't detect any changes in the other person's emotions or chakra.

It seems to have nothing to do with Orochimaru?

The skills in the Reincarnation Game are abilities bestowed by the game merchant, and they are absolutely incapable of making mistakes.

unless,

Aizen, who wasn't even a player, possessed stronger mental attributes or advanced anti-sensory skills than he did.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide it from oneself.

Is this possible?

impossible!

Red Bean has absolute confidence in her sensory abilities.

Recalling Aizen's astonishing combat talent, Anko's thoughts stirred slightly, and she said, "You must have heard about the antagonistic relationship between Konoha and Orochimaru. If you want revenge, join Konoha!"

"I can be your introducer, or even your teacher."

"We all share a common goal: to overthrow Orochimaru's brutal rule over the Land of Fire."
