Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 41 Undercurrents

"I can already smell the experience capsules, they smell so tempting."

Tsunade clasped her hands together and muttered a prayer.

Five skills pottery jars.

Even with the worst luck, you should still be able to get an experience capsule, right?

Of course, if you can unlock a top-tier skill, that's also a huge win.

She bought an intermediate-level skill pottery jar, which has a relatively high probability of yielding a green skill, a small probability of yielding a blue skill, and an almost impossible probability of yielding a purple skill.

"call!"

A fair hand reached into the pottery jar, nervously exploring.

Under Tsunade's expectant gaze, a purple light burst forth.

【Experience Capsule (Purple)】: Increases skill experience by 500 points upon use.

"very good!"

Tsunade took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly.

She never expected that the first pottery jar would yield a purple item, and it was the experience capsule she wanted.

Chase after victory.

The mysterious game merchant had told her that luck is like a surging tide, with its highest and lowest points.

We are currently at our peak.

The purple-blue light flickered continuously.

The remaining four pottery jars yielded two purple items and two blue items.

Hammer of Repentance (Purple), Blessing of Heaven (Purple), Experience Capsule (Blue)*2

City Wall Mission Point

The other players around were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

"Is she crazy? It's flashing purple light continuously. Did she buy a top-grade ceramic jar?"

"A top-tier pottery jar worth five thousand merit points—who could afford that? I saw it clearly; she opened a mid-tier pottery jar!"

"Wait, how could it be her?!"

"who is she?"

Players who witnessed Tsunade winning the grand prize couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Among them was a gambler who frequently bought ceramic pots. Upon seeing Tsunade's face clearly, his expression immediately turned strange. He said, "I don't know who she is either. It's said that she's a ninja in real life, and seems to be quite close to Konoha Village. The most crucial thing is..."

I couldn't say anything more.

He often saw Tsunade, crowding under the bulletin board, spending money to take on daily tasks in exchange for pottery jars.

But the results were all poor.

The low-level ceramic jar, which has a high probability of yielding white items, only yielded inferior gray materials for Tsunade.

She could only get white items from the intermediate-level pottery jar, which had a high probability of yielding green items.

An explosion of bad luck is almost comparable to that of the fat sheep that often roams Tanabata Street.

Unexpectedly, the salted fish has turned the tables and made a fortune?

The flashing blue-purple light seemed to possess some indescribable magic, stimulating the nerves of the players present.

"I want to buy one too!"

"Quickly go find the merchant and buy two hundred merit points worth of city wall materials!"

While ordinary players are still hesitating,

The wealthy noble player had already instructed his companions to find a merchant to purchase materials.

Even the merchants who resell materials were somewhat bewildered when they suddenly received large orders.

"What's going on? Are the five great ninja villages about to start a war?"

Some small business owners who didn't have enough stockpiled materials were jumping up and down in frustration as orders slipped away.

The big businessmen who bought the warehouses were overjoyed after receiving large orders.

Backpack space is limited.

To stockpile a large amount of materials, you need to purchase a warehouse; a level 1 warehouse requires 5,000 reward points.

Some merchants, after purchasing warehouses, suspected they had overpaid, but suddenly felt fortunate when large material orders suddenly appeared.

Merchants speculated, "Is some powerful organization cultivating casual players?"

When they learned that a player had incredible luck, opening three purple and two blue items and sparking a surge in merit points, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even the usually cautious among them couldn't help but feel envious.

Based on the price, that's over 100,000 reward points!

No wonder it caused such a sensation.

"How could this happen?"

Tsunade's expression was not good; she showed no joy whatsoever after winning the grand prize.

My luck is off the charts...

Whenever this happens, it foreshadows something bad happening and befalling you.

The deaths of Nawaki and Dan, the decline of the Senju family...

After a long silence,

Tsunade pondered: could the source of the impending misfortune be the village?

Although he had long since left Konoha and was no longer a ninja, he was still the culmination of Hashirama's grandfather and his clan's efforts, so it was impossible for him to completely let go of it.

Leave the game and return to reality.

The place where Tsunade and the others were staying was a luxuriously decorated inn.

Since becoming a player of the Reincarnation Game, all my assets have been emptied out and invested in the game, but I am not short of money in real life.

Selling some materials and low-level equipment at random would be enough to cover the fees that Silent used to charge for treating nobles.

"Lady Tsunade."

Holding Tsunade's baby, Shizune, and carrying dinner, she returned to the inn and saw Tsunade sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Tsunade usually plays games until the early hours of the morning. Could something have happened?

"Mute, the chicken here isn't good."

While savoring the tender and delicious chicken, Tsunade suddenly said.

Shizune said helplessly, "That's because you, Lady Tsunade, were so engrossed in your game that you missed mealtime. Chicken that's been out of the pot for too long definitely won't taste good!"

"Yes, food shouldn't be left out of the pot for too long, and the same goes for people."

Tsunade finished the last piece of tender chicken and sighed, "Shizune, come back to Konoha with me. I'm craving some sake from the village."

……

The Land of Earth, Hidden Rock Village.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, sat solemnly at the head of the council chamber.

The two rows of seats under his command were occupied by the village's high-ranking officials, including the heads of various clans and elite Jonin with outstanding strength.

Everyone looked at the person in the head seat with a mixture of tension and anticipation.

The short old man in front of me had a warrior's topknot from the Warring States period. He was not good-looking and had a large, bulbous nose that looked quite comical.

But everyone looked at him with a mixture of admiration and respect.

This warrior, who served the longest term and lived through both the era of war and the era of the ninja village, possessed terrifying power that surpassed the bloodline limit.

He was a hero who single-handedly trained countless elite Iwagakure ninjas and created the village's golden age. Even in his old age, he still possessed admirable ambition.

Onoki slowly spoke, "Have you had any contact with Kumogakure?"

Sitting at the end of the table, a resolute-looking ninja named Huang Tu nodded and said, "I have already spoken with the Fourth Raikage's secretary. He conveyed the Raikage's decision to join forces with us to test Konoha Village."

He is a player chosen by the game of reincarnation, a level 13 monk who follows a defensive build.

In reality, he possesses powerful Earth Release ninjutsu capable of tearing the earth apart.

The combination of the two has already reached the level of a Kage, and even his father, Onoki, would find it difficult to suppress him.

"What about Kirigakure and Sunagakure?"

Onoki nodded; Kumogakure's agreement was within his expectations.

Those militant types who are all muscle-bound must have been itching to make a move against Konoha for a long time.

At the end of the line, a ninja wearing a red undershirt and a yellow vest spoke up: "The Hidden Mist Village has not yet made a statement."

"Sunagakure's attitude is strange. It seems that there is a disagreement among the higher-ups, but they also have the idea of ​​testing Konoha."

He is a Jonin, Wenya, who was trained by Onoki.

He was also the player who spent a large sum of money from Iwagakure to exchange for Wood Release; his strength was no less than that of Huang Tu.

"Akatsuchi, lead your ninja forces and stand by at the border of the Land of Lightning. If the enemy makes any unusual moves, you are authorized to take action."

"Han, you led the surprise attack force to a secret outpost on the border of the Wind Kingdom..."

Onoki's expression was resolute as he made his decision without the slightest hesitation.

The two newly emerged Kage-level powerhouses were the source of his confidence to test Konoha Village.

His ambition was to lead Iwagakure to a golden age.

So what if we are despised by enemy ninjas and condemned by nobles?

This is... the will of stone that I, Onoki, possess!
