Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 7 The Eagle That Hits the Cage

This terrifying speed would be a devastating blow to ninjas.

The logistics ninja broke out in a cold sweat, finally understanding why Asuma had remained silent.

"You can continue. I need to report to the Hokage."

Asuma patted his pockets, wanting to light a cigarette, when he suddenly remembered that this was a game.

Although the mall also sells cigarettes, he couldn't bear to buy them.

……

"A game world outside the ninja world?"

Sound Village, a secret underground research base.

In the dimly lit room, various glass containers were placed, containing extracted samples of special experimental subjects, such as Jugo's blood and cells.

Orochimaru licked his lips, his snake-like golden vertical pupils revealing a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

He even wondered if Kabuto Yakushi, who sent out this message, had betrayed him.

absurd.

But the more this happened, the more Orochimaru felt an itch to uncover the truth.

Unfortunately, Kabuto Yakushi, who has now become a player, is under close surveillance by the Anbu and has no way to escape. Otherwise, he would really like to conduct a thorough and enjoyable dissection and research.

"Lord Orochimaru."

A ninja exuding a chilling aura of chakra entered the laboratory.

Orochimaru didn't even turn his head. He threw over a piece of paper tucked inside Kabuto's information packet and ordered, "Kidomaru, you and Jirobo, bring him back to me."

Kidomaru carefully took the paper and discovered that it contained a message from a nobleman from the Land of Fire.

"Immortality, that's something to look forward to."

Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile.

Unexpectedly, such a huge change has occurred in the ninja world. The plan to destroy Konoha needs to be accelerated.

……

Two days later.

Even the two logistics ninjas with the weakest combat awareness have become professionals.

"Neji and I are both boxers, Kabuto Yakushi is a rogue, and there are also mage apprentices. There are many professions in the Samsara Game, and I don't know who is the strongest."

Asma became increasingly alarmed as she spoke.

The professions in the reincarnation game encompass knowledge of another world.

Whether they are boxers, stalkers, or magic apprentices, they all possess the same independent energy system as ninjas, signifying different alternate worlds.

The more information I gathered, the more mysterious and terrifying the cycle of reincarnation game seemed.

Asuma sighed and said, "That's enough for today, everyone get some rest."

Naruto Uzumaki, still wanting more, was sternly stopped by Asuma.

Their souls enter the game world, while their real bodies remain in a dormant state. Staying online for extended periods can lead to malnutrition.

Neji Hyuga quit the game.

Just as I was about to cook a meal to replenish my nutrition, I noticed that someone had come into the house and left a letter on the living room table.

After opening the envelope, he read it in silence.

He got up and walked towards the center of the clan's territory, arriving at a luxurious courtyard.

"Is that Neji? Come in."

A gentle, kind voice came from inside the house.

Hyuga Neji walked into the room respectfully with a blank expression, raising his head slightly.

A man dressed in a loose white robe knelt on a soft futon.

She has long, black hair cascading over her shoulders, pure white eyes, and a smooth, unmarked forehead.

"Chieftain."

Hyuga Neji knelt respectfully on one knee on the ground.

The man before him, who looked familiar and bore a striking resemblance to his father, was the current head of the Hyuga family, the esteemed Hyuga Hiashi.

Hiashi Hyuga smiled gently and asked, "Have you been tired lately?"

Although the Hokage's assignment of an S-rank mission is strictly confidential, the rumors circulating in the village recently have made him, as the clan leader, somewhat uneasy.

Neji shook his head and said, "It is a ninja's duty to share the burden for the village."

Hiashi Hyuga frowned, but quickly recovered and reminded him, "The village is important, but you are also a genius of the Hyuga clan and need to share the burden for the clan."

"Yes."

Neji responded in a deep voice.

Hiashi Hyuga's gaze fell on the boy before him, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. He slowly said, "Neji, the village is a tree, the Hyuga clan is the trunk, and you are a branch on the trunk. Only when the trunk is strong can the branches grow better. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The response was still brief.

Hiashi Hyuga frowned, tapping his fingers lightly on the floor. Seeing Neji's expressionless face and silent demeanor, he ultimately withdrew his hand.

Are you unwilling to disclose information about the family mission?

The missions assigned by the Hokage are of a very high level and only occur during the Shinobi World War.

But now it is a time of peace, and there is no sign of any country troop buildup, so the sudden release of an S-level mission is particularly special.

Neji remained silent.

Hiashi Hyuga shook his head and said, "Go. I hope you remember that the clan will always be your support."

"Yes."

Neji silently left the room.

The matter concerning the Rinne Game is a secret mission assigned by the Hokage. As long as he doesn't reveal it, even the head of the Hyuga clan of the main family wouldn't dare to pressure the branch family too much.

Once the main family learns about the reincarnation game, they will know that he was able to break free from the caged bird.

At that time, they will definitely be under close surveillance and put back in the cage.

This is something Neji absolutely cannot tolerate.

He had even prepared himself to be tortured by the caged bird, but he never expected that Hiashi Hyuga would let him leave so easily.

Was it out of guilt, or pity?

A surge of anger welled up in Neji's heart. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing his palms, and blood flowed out between his fingers.

He returned to the house with an extra scroll in his hand.

Unroll it and carefully read the text on the scroll until the very end.

Neji closed his eyes tightly, his fingers clenched together, and his chakra slowly flowed into his eyeballs, moving in a complex trajectory.

next second.

It felt as if I were being burned by flames; intense pain swept over me, starting from my eyeballs and spreading to my entire head. It was as if I had thrown my eyeballs into a raging inferno, the intense flames relentlessly eroding everything.

In just two seconds, Neji collapsed to the ground, unable to maintain the posture of the technique, his hands tightly clenched around his eyes.

When I opened my eyes,

His white eyes were covered with scarlet blood spots, making his vision blurry.

But the color of the twisted and grotesque pattern on his forehead seemed to have faded slightly.

A caged bird, a shackle directly imprinted on the soul, even those reborn through the impure earth cannot escape their cursed fate.

Even the researcher Hyuga Tennin did not have a perfect method to lift the curse.

Removing a caged bird is extremely dangerous and carries the risk of blindness.

For a ninja with the Byakugan bloodline limit, losing his sight means becoming a cripple.

but,

Neji covered his face tightly, savoring the pain that went deep into his soul.

Once upon a time, ever since the branding of the caged bird began, or when my father died?

He pessimistically attributed everything to fate, believing it was all a cruel joke of destiny. He hated the main family, yet he was like a dog resigned to its fate.

Until the advent of the Reincarnation Game.

Just as the mysterious man said, this is a game, and whoever wins will have a huge reward that will change their destiny.

Even if it's excruciating pain, even if it means gouging out one's eyes, as long as one can break free from the shackles of fate.

We'll spare no effort!
