Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 4 The Free Bird

"The Reincarnation Game is telling me my game time is up and I need to spend reward points to buy more?"

A logistics ninja had a strange expression on his face. His body gradually became ethereal, emitting a white light, and he was about to leave the game world.

Asma felt increasingly mysterious about the game.

At first, it was a special experiment where a mysterious person would force them to play games, but unexpectedly, the game time was also set.

On the contrary, they haven't gathered enough intelligence yet and want to stay in the game.

[The higher your level, the more reward points you need to purchase game time. A level 1 player can purchase 1 hour of game time with 1 reward point.]

This is also one of the methods of accumulating wealth.

Leopard Head Zero Charge?

That doesn't exist at all. This newbie village cost Fang Yi a full 100,000 reward points. The venue fee has to be paid, and if he wants to continue playing the game, he has to spend money.

Asuma thought for a moment and said, "You two go back first and report directly to the Hokage Building. We'll leave later."

These two support chunin, without chakra, were even slower at hunting ghosts than Naruto Uzumaki.

There's not much point in staying; it's better to go back and report first.

The two nodded and chose to exit the game.

Asuma thought to himself, "Kabuto Yakushi must be a genin skilled in combat, his moves are swift and decisive. Neji Hyuga truly lives up to the genius Might Guy mentioned; his speed in hunting ghosts is almost on par with mine. What surprised me most was Naruto Uzumaki..."

When they first encountered the ghost, the opponent was so frightened that their legs went weak and they stood frozen in place. Unexpectedly, they quickly recovered and were able to fight the ghost to a standstill.

and,

Asuma, who has extensive combat experience, discovered that Naruto Uzumaki would become slightly stronger after each battle.

It's not about physical fitness, but about the fighting spirit in the face of crisis, which is an indispensable thing for growing into a strong person.

I must say, no wonder he's Minato's son?

[Ding! Your experience points are full. Do you want to level up?]

After Hyuga Neji killed two ghosts in succession, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Only then did I notice that at the very bottom of the player panel, there was a light green experience progress bar.

Killing a ghost grants 5 experience points.

He killed a total of ten ghosts to earn the 50 experience points needed to level up.

Upgrade successful, reward: 2 free attribute points

After a brief study, Neji understood the effect of attribute points and, after a moment's hesitation, added them to Strength and Constitution.

The Bound Bird

Level: 2 (1/100 experience)

Attributes: Strength 2, Agility 1, Constitution 2, Spirit 1

Equipment: Beginner Short Sword

For an instant.

Neji could clearly feel the growth of this body, just like the change in physical fitness after several days of training.

In the ninja world, even chakra requires long-term training. The Hyuga clan, with its various medicinal bath recipes, also needs to slowly nourish their muscles and bones to achieve the effect of making their bodies stronger.

This feeling of sudden, explosive power increase is probably something only the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can sense.

It's mesmerizing.

But Neji quickly came to his senses. After all, it was a game of reincarnation, not a real-world way to become stronger, so it didn't really mean much.

After a while,

Asuma and Kabuto Yakushi also leveled up one after another, until finally Naruto Uzumaki also leveled up, and no further special features were discovered.

He said, "The system indicates that you can enter the cycle game at any time after exiting the game, so don't worry about not being able to enter. Let's go back to the real world first."

"Everyone, once you return to the real world, proceed directly to the Hokage Building. This is an order!"

"yes!"

After a flash of white light, Asuma's team exited the game.

Subsequently, ninjas from various countries chose to level up or accumulate enough reward points to buy an item from the shop before quitting the game.

"Omoi, what a useless brat! You were killed by the gargoyle twice. Luckily, it's a game world where you can revive. In reality, someone with your strength would have been chopped into mincemeat by enemy ninjas long ago."

"I was ambushed; who knew the stone statue would move!"

"Exit the game first. I must report the matter of the Reincarnation Game to Lord Raikage."

Mabui noticed the unusual nature of the Reincarnation Game, and she used all her reward points to buy an item in the game's shop.

A bottle of red potion that can heal injuries.

Samui, who is skilled in combat, has already raised his level to 2.

Instead of hunting gargoyles, Mabui chose to stay in the starting village and record most of the items in the game's shop.

"The secret methods of body training passed down through generations of Raikage, the seven renowned ninja swords of Kirigakure, and precious bloodline limits like the Sharingan and Byakugan..."

"A potion that can restore life, a miraculous Devil Fruit..."

The more I look, the more alarmed I become. With enough reward points, I can even exchange for the legendary God's Eye, the Rinnegan!

If these things could be brought back to reality, it would cause an earthquake in the ninja world.

……

Sungai tribe.

In a secluded courtyard, Hyuga Neji, who had been standing blankly in the center of the training field, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

It felt like a dream.

"I'm back?"

As for the Hyuga branch family, their first reaction was not to go to the Hokage Building as Asuma suggested.

Instead, he wanted to report the matter to the clan head.

However, Neji quickly realized what was happening, slowly walked back into the house, stared at the white eyes in the bathroom mirror, ripped off his headband, revealing the seal pattern of the Caged Bird.

I unconsciously clenched my fist.

Upon entering the game of reincarnation, everyone else was filled with panic, but he felt a different kind of emotion.

free!

The caged bird on his head disappeared, and it didn't matter if he lost his white eyes; the body he was in the game was a truly free bird.

If you haven't tasted it, you won't feel disappointed.

"It feels so bad..."

Neji stared at the dark green pattern on his forehead, which writhed like disgusting maggots, causing him to hallucinate pain all over his body.

He was breathing heavily when he slammed his fist on the mirror.

Fresh blood dripped down the shattered fragments.

"My fists have gotten stronger?"

Neji's eyes widened suddenly, veins bulging, as he stared intently at his fist, which was cut by the shards.

It wasn't an illusion; my strength had actually increased slightly.

He quickly recited the game of reincarnation in his mind, and the player panel popped up.

Hyuga Neji (Ninja World)

Level: 2 (1/100 experience)

属性：力量9（+0.2），敏捷9，体质11（+0.2），精神8

Equipment: None

Note: The attributes of your game character will be linked to those in the real world. For every 10 points of attribute, your real-world attribute will increase by 1 point.

Note: To bring in-game items back to reality, you need to submit verification points.

Neji opened his backpack, submitted his authentication points, and took out a lump of grayish-black viscous substance.

【Phantom Essence】

Type: Material

Note: Low-quality soul crystals dropped by ghosts can be used to craft items.

Neji's eyes lit up with surprise as he growled, "Items from the Samsara Game can be brought back to reality!"

Like a bird yearning for freedom, when others study the game store, they only notice the powerful items and equipment that can be exchanged.

And then I noticed a very special item.

【Hyuga Tennin's Ninjutsu Scroll - Fragment】, which records the Caged Bird Seal and how to remove it, 1000 reward points.

"Killing a ghost will earn you two points."

"This means that if I kill five hundred ghosts, I will be able to unlock the Bird in the Cage spell!"

Neji never realized that fate was looking out for him, and that freedom was so close to him.
