Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 72 The Ninja Clan and the Shadow

After the trial,

When Itachi Uchiha's soul returned to reality and he opened his eyes, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

After getting used to the painless body he had in the game, the sudden onset of illness caught him off guard.

I couldn't help but cough.

Kisame, who had been waiting for a long time, asked with concern, "Itachi-san, did you pass the trial?"

"all the best."

Uchiha Itachi nodded, still savoring the power of the sorcerer.

Although he did not hand over all his valuables, he had few reward points left to pass the trial.

It looks like I need to level up in the game as soon as possible to earn enough reward points.

Improve your skills and buy equipment.

Only by becoming powerful enough can it become the strongest soul imprint when it is finally devoured by Sasuke.

Kisame Hoshigaki asked curiously, "Itachi-san, what kind of profession have you awakened?"

"Sorcerer".

Uchiha Itachi didn't want to say more and gave a perfunctory reply.

If it were Sasuke, he would be willing to reveal all his knowledge about sorcerers without reservation.

Kisame Hoshigaki is just a companion; although he cares about her, he's not willing to sacrifice his soul for her.

At most, he would use a few harmless skills in dangerous situations, but skills involving the soul must be reserved for Sasuke.

Kisame Hoshigaki, seemingly confused but impressed, exclaimed excitedly, "It sounds like a very powerful ability. Itachi-san, we can work together in the game then!"

Itachi Uchiha remained silent.

Sasuke's level is probably already quite high. Team up with Kisame to hunt corrupted monsters first, level up, and then go find Sasuke.

While browsing the game store, he saw items that could conceal and disguise himself. If he made contact with Sasuke at the right time, he would most likely not be noticed by the other party.

Very well, she silently dedicated her strength to her younger brother before dying.

Forgive me, Kisame.

"That was a pleasant transaction. If you two have nothing else to say, we shall part ways here!"

Fang Yi, who had made a fortune, revealed a gentle smile.

Even the two ugly shark-faced men and the sickly man in front of me seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

"Wait, Mr. Businessman."

Uchiha Itachi suddenly spoke, calling out to the fading phantom of Fang Yi, and asked, "I'd like to know, if possible, what do you intend to do to Konoha, or rather, the ninja world?"

Even with Kisame by his side, he still asked this question that worried him.

Fang Yi said in surprise, "I thought Mr. Itachi was only interested in Sasuke's affairs."

Uchiha Itachi said evasively, "I'm just worried that the leader's plan will be hindered."

He is now a member of the Akatsuki organization, so it's reasonable for him to give this reason.

in fact,

He could have avoided asking this question; inquiring about what the mysterious game merchant intended to do to the ninja world was a very dangerous thing to do.

Who knows if the seemingly kind game merchant might suddenly lose his temper?

He had already done so much, staining his hands with the blood of sin to stop the Uchiha coup, becoming a sinner burdened with shame, and then infiltrating the Akatsuki organization as a spy after becoming a rogue ninja.

It's almost fair to say they've given everything.

Even though he could have devoted all his remaining time and energy to Sasuke, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but ask.

Having witnessed the horrors of war firsthand since childhood, those hellish scenes remain vivid in my memory to this day.

He abhorred war and loved peace.

The appearance of the mysterious merchant will definitely bring unimaginable upheaval to the ninja world, so he had to speak up and ask questions.

Fang Yi didn't expose him, but smiled and said, "I already answered this question when we first met."

"Selling reincarnation games, that's what I want to do."

"But."

Such unbridled dissemination of power will undoubtedly provoke a war in the ninja world.

At that time, the world will once again become hell, filled with displaced civilians, ninjas who have lost their brothers, wives and children, and a land riddled with holes.

Uchiha Itachi wanted to speak again, but Fang Yi interrupted him.

"Uchiha Itachi, even without my intervention, war would still break out!"

Fang Yi looked at him calmly and said, "Do you think that slaughtering the entire Uchiha clan will stop the war from coming?"

"But what will be the result? With the loss of the Uchiha clan, Konoha will be coveted by the other four great ninja villages and will likely be besieged soon."

"Within the village, after the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the Hokage lineage grew stronger than ever before. With two Kage-level experts, Danzo Shimura and the Hokage, as well as two equally powerful senior advisors, the village's ninja clans were suffocating under their pressure."

"Now, taking advantage of the crucial period of the Chunin Exams of the Five Nations, the Hokage is too busy to attend to anything else. Shimura Danzo is still recklessly capturing elite ninjas from the ninja clans and putting them under the shackles of the Root. The ninja clans dare not speak out against this, but the conflicts will only deepen."

"The current Konoha, including the entire ninja world, is like dried-out firewood. It only needs a tiny spark to turn it into a sea of ​​fire in an instant."

Do you really think I caused this?

Fang Yi looked directly at him, his gaze showing no anger or displeasure at being questioned, only pure indifference.

It's like walking into a movie theater, ready to watch a film that's destined to be shown.

Itachi Uchiha took a breath and said, "But, without a game being sold, when will this war arrive?"

Kisame Hoshigaki's palms were sweating as he nervously watched Itachi Uchiha.

They were terrified that the seemingly harmless phantom would suddenly attack.

He doesn't want Mr. Itachi to die yet.

"Is it like you slaughtering the Uchiha clan?"

Fang Yi never felt that Uchiha Itachi was a good person, but he didn't feel that he was a purely bad person either. He was more like a madman who had been brainwashed after receiving wrong ideas since childhood and had paranoid emotions.

The age of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

They are easily swayed and do what they believe to be right, even if it means going against the whole world.

Fang Yi suppressed his smile and said calmly, "As you can see, the conflict in Konoha has not stopped because of the destruction of the Uchiha. Soon, flames will appear again, and when flames appear, they will burn, and when they burn, people will be burned to death."

"The ninja clan is powerful; burn Danzo and the Hokage to death."

"The flames of the Hokage and Danzo are hot enough to burn the ninja clan to death. The cake is only so big, and everyone wants to take a bigger bite. The feeling of hunger is unpleasant. Once it comes, it can't be suppressed by just two shouts of the Will of Fire."

Upon hearing Fang Yi belittle the Will of Fire, even the usually composed Itachi Uchiha's breathing quickened.

He is a man with the mindset of a Naruto, capable of considering issues from a higher perspective.

In that situation,

The Uchiha clan was destined to perish; otherwise, the situation would have been impossible to resolve.

But now the mysterious game merchant who suddenly appeared said that the sins and killings he carried, all the sacrifices and dedications, were actually like castles in the air, utterly useless.

It's impossible for anyone to remain rational.

Itachi Uchiha's face showed anxiety as he controlled his emotions and asked, "In that case, wouldn't the war never be able to end?"

So what exactly have I been doing since I became a ninja?

Uchiha Itachi dared not think about it too much, but Fang Yi's words kept creeping into his mind like maggots.

because,

The facts were undeniable. Although he hadn't returned to Konoha, he had heard some of the information about what had happened in the village, and it was indeed as Fang Yi had said.

Nothing changed after the Uchiha clan was wiped out.

How could this happen?

Kisame Hoshigaki had never seen Itachi Uchiha so out of sorts before, and said nervously, "Itachi-san."
