Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 44 Hyuga Neji

"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade."

Asuma said in a embarrassed low voice, "Although the village has allocated funds, the Konoha troops have suffered heavy losses, and I cannot afford to pay the commission at the moment."

Most of the Konoha troops were civilians, wandering samurai, and wandering ninjas from cities within the Land of Fire.

To win someone over, you can't rely on the Will of Fire. Just like with mercenaries, you need to provide various potions, materials, and other items as wages every week.

It's not just the Konoha forces; the Kirigakure and Kumogakure alliances, as well as the Iwagakure forces that have been gaining momentum recently, all use the same methods.

only,

They are willing to offer higher terms, so the cohesion is stronger.

On the other hand, if it weren't for the advantageous terrain, the large number of players from the Land of Fire, and the fact that most civilians were wary of the power of Konoha, they would have long since joined a more favorable faction.

"Then I'm afraid I can't help you."

Tsunade didn't say much and left with the noble girl from the Land of Frost.

She is no longer a Konoha ninja, not even a ninja, so she only acts based on her own preferences.

If Asma could just offer two thousand reward points, she would agree; at least she would be able to see the attitude of the village's higher-ups.

Now, Asuma's embarrassing situation is completely exposed to Tsunade.

Sure enough, nothing has changed over the years; the village leaders remain just as disappointing.

The starting village is surrounded by an army of ghosts attacking from all directions, creating a four-way battlefield.

Konoha Unit, Fourth Platoon.

The figure, dressed in loose training clothes and wearing a headband, continuously reaped the ghosts under the cover of his teammates.

He opened his eyes, veins bulging.

A pair of pure white eyes swept across the battlefield from a unique perspective, discerning the weaknesses and distribution of the wraiths.

Hyuga Neji assumed a fighting stance and lunged forward to throw a punch.

Sky-Bomb!

His palms, like cannon barrels, gathered concentrated spiritual energy and fired it out like cannonballs.

The ghosts within a five-meter radius in front were all blasted into fragments by the psychic cannon, turning into ashes and disappearing without a trace.

"Captain Neji, you're amazing!"

The team members all looked on with envy when they saw their formidable captain.

Level 14, Qigong Master.

Some powerful fighters who have trained their bodies to the extreme and developed Nen in pursuit of breakthroughs can freely unleash Nen, possessing highly sensitive perception and superb close-combat abilities, making them highly mobile warriors.

The "Nianqi Handbook" in the game store costs 2000 reward points.

Anyone can buy it and experience the power of breath (3/3 times).

Successfully comprehending the concept of breath allows one to become a Qigong master; failure leaves one unchanged.

After witnessing Neji's terrifying strength, some of the four team members gritted their teeth and saved up reward points to buy the Nen Manual, but the result was obvious.

The entire four teams,

Aside from Hyuga Neji, only one other female member of the Hyuga branch family succeeded.

"Don't get distracted, focus on the battle!"

The energy of thought enveloped the entire body.

Neji suddenly increased his speed and quickly dealt with the swooping Ghost Hawk.

The team member, who had narrowly escaped death, looked gratefully at Neji, who had saved him.

Although it can be resurrected,

However, reward points need to be deducted. He is a civilian on the border of the Fire Kingdom. His village was destroyed by bandits. By chance, he became a player and used most of the reward points he received to rebuild the village and protect the villagers.

Is that why the captain noticed me?

"A person with a sensitive heart, immense strength, and the ability to protect their teammates even in battle... is the pride of the Hyuga clan!"

The team member blurted out this sentence without thinking, which resonated with everyone.

For all to see.

Even the girls from the Hyuga branch family looked on with longing and admiration, thinking, "I also want to become a ninja as strong as Neji and protect the Hyuga clan!"

The sound entered the ear.

Neji remained expressionless, mechanically swinging his palms, tearing apart the ghosts close to him, while those a little further away were blasted to ashes by Nen blasts.

After his stamina and mana were exhausted, he quickly retreated to the back of the team to rest.

The glory of the Hyuga clan?

"How ridiculous."

His voice was so faint that even the girl from the branch family who handed him the recovery potion didn't hear it.

Blood was seeping from his clenched teeth beneath his skin.

In two more weeks, the curse on the caged bird will be completely removed, and it will be freed from its cage.

If you remove your headband right now

As you can see, the green incantation on this branch family member's forehead has faded, leaving only a faint surface layer.

"Brutal removal of the caged bird may shorten the time, but it causes irreversible damage to the soul and body, and even the white eye will be ruined."

"The Hyuga Tennin, who developed such a vicious cursed seal, should be thankful I wasn't born in the Warring States period!"

The ghost beast army was utterly routed.

The battlefield has become extremely intense.

One after another, massive, mountain-like commander-level monsters, the leaders of the Ghost Legion, gradually approached the vicinity of the city walls.

Previously, with the Ghost Cannon, those mindless Ghost Beasts were merely cannon fodder, willingly sent out to deplete the Ghost's power on the city wall.

Now is the real war.

"The Ghost Crocodile's leather armor set can enhance Nen fluctuations."

"The exchange conditions are 5,000 merit points and hunting a commander-level ghost."

Looking at the slowly approaching ghostly behemoth, the players, including Neji, were not afraid of the terrifying power that shook the earth; instead, they all showed envy.

at this time,

One of the team members suddenly spoke up: "Hyuga Neji, we have received orders from the clan head that you need to come to the clan territory now to discuss something."

The other team members were all stunned. Leaving at such a critical moment would undoubtedly result in a huge loss.

Furthermore, without Neji's command, the fourth squad alone would be unable to fulfill the role of the vanguard.

The overall operations of the Konoha forces will be disrupted.

Neji frowned slightly and asked, "Now?"

"Now."

The team member had a cold gaze, his eyes were also pure white, but his forehead was bare.

Zong family.

They are the main family that needs to be protected by someone like Neji, and the true inheritors of the Byakugan bloodline.

Even the clan head, Hyuga Hiashi, solemnly entrusted Neji with the task of taking good care of the main branch of the Hyuga clan.

"Couldn't the agent have come later?"

Some Konoha ninjas showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

Hyuga remained silent, simply watching Neji quietly.

Neji Hyuga, expressionless, looked at his teammates and said, "I need to leave for a moment to take care of things, and then I'll come back as quickly as possible."

Hinata's agent looked as if it were the obvious thing to do, showing no surprise whatsoever.

After all, since his own family member, the head of the main branch, had spoken, Neji, as a member of the branch family, had no reason to refuse.

The glory of Hyuga?

Even a family that can't even roll its eyes properly deserves to be a branch family!

With indifferent eyes, Hyuga Junichi watched the figure slowly disappear, feeling disdain in his heart.

He didn't feel jealousy. No matter how dazzling Neji was, the branch family would always be the branch family, only able to serve the main family. Although the clan head had explicitly forbidden the main family from maliciously provoking the branch family, those two words still lingered in his mind.

House slave.
