Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 99 Chunin Exams (1)

Konoha, banquet hall.

The magnificent corridors were filled with calming incense, and the spacious hall was laden with delicious delicacies.

The nobles of the five kingdoms sat upright, with delicacies from another world laid out before them.

The Fire Country Daimyo, beaming with smiles, looked at the nobles from various countries and said, "Welcome, everyone, for traveling so far to the Fire Country to watch the Chunin Exams."

His skin was loose and covered with wrinkles, making him look very old.

At the beginning,

It was he who helped Hiruzen Sarutobi become Hokage, and the successive victories in several wars enabled the Land of Fire to occupy the most fertile territory, establishing its absolute position as the strongest nation.

"So delicious, it's tomato and cheese chicken wing dumplings!"

The portly daimyo of the Land of Wind stared intently at the delicious food on his plate, barely minding his reputation as daimyo, and began to eat gently.

Each daimyo employs many gamers.

To them, it was like hiring ninjas, exchanging all sorts of strange and wonderful toys and delicacies in the game store for them, so that they could enjoy themselves to the fullest.

The Fire Country Daimyo wore a strange smile and asked, "Has everyone made a decision regarding the Chunin Exams?"

"decision making?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning shook his head and casually said, "We're here to watch a ninja performance. Let the ninjas handle the brain-taxing decisions!"

The Chunin Exams of the Five Nations are a small ninja village that affects almost the entire ninja world.

Including the usually obscure small ninja villages like Frost Village and Star Village, all gathered in Konoha, with nearly 10,000 people registered to participate in the Chunin Exams.

The five daimyo gathered together, along with their noble families.

This is a rare high-level meeting.

To them, ninjas were merely the blades used to rule the country; they were the true masters of the nation.

Beside him, the daimyo of the Land of Wind's gaze fell upon the graceful maidservant dressed in a noblewoman's robe, and he asked, "A very beautiful maidservant. The daimyo of the Land of Fire is truly blessed."

Yan Zhaoxiong waved his fan, smiled slightly, and said, "Aren't you going to greet the daimyo of the Land of Wind?"

With wild, snake-like golden eyes and purple eyeshadow extending to her nose, she wore a captivating smile and said softly, "My name is Snake Princess. Thank you for your kind words, sir."

Watching the nobles engrossed in eating and drinking, or flirting with the dancers beside them,

A glint of disdain flashed in Yan Zhaoxiong's eyes. He suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, since we've gathered here during the Chunin Exams, I have a suggestion. I wonder if anyone would be interested in hearing it?"

Of course I'm not interested.

This is what most nobles think. To showcase the wealth of the Land of Fire, they have prepared the finest wines, delicacies, and geisha, leaving them with no time to worry about anything else.

However, since the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has spoken, the due respect should still be shown.

"Are you suggesting changing the ninjas' mission rewards or mission quotas?"

"Could it be that they're building a joint palace? Our Wind Kingdom doesn't have the financial resources to participate."

"The Land of Earth will not participate either."

The attitudes of the leaders from various countries were remarkably consistent.

"Please don't misunderstand."

Yan Zhaoxiong laughed loudly and said, "I just want... for you all to step down from your positions as daimyo, so that I can rule the five countries."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The four daimyo were all stunned, and even the noble groups from various countries were taken aback, raising their heads to focus their gazes on Yan Zhaoxiong, seemingly doubting their own ears.

"Yan Zhaoxiong, have you gone mad?"

Do you know what you're saying?

"These five nations have historically maintained a policy of non-aggression against each other. Do you intend to provoke a war and become a sinner against the world?"

The lords glared at them angrily.

According to the rules, even if the ninja villages under their command were to fight tooth and nail, it would not shake the nobles' ruling position.

With the ninja village destroyed, a new generation of ninjas can be raised.

While some money is plundered between countries, and the common people suffer, the nobles remain carefree. At most, they may lose some territory, but they can buy it back with money.

Like the Land of Winds,

The Sand Village is of little use, so the Daimyo simply employs Konoha ninjas, which does not affect the nobles' foundation in the slightest.

This tradition of training ninjas to fight with as weapons, and the nobles fighting each other without breaking each other, has long been an unspoken rule in the ninja world, and no one would think of breaking it.

Yan Zhaoxiong's eyes flashed with killing intent. He spread his arms and smiled without fading, saying, "Don't you all find it strange that a terrifying ninja like Uchiha Madara, who could easily destroy the capital of the Land of Fire, was willing to be a dog for the nobles and never thought of seizing power?"

The daimyo of the Land of Water frowned and said, "That's because the ninjas lack the ability to govern a country. They only have the ability to kill, but they are completely incapable of governing a country. What right do they have to seize power?"

Ninja academies teach killing techniques. Ninjas do not engage in production and know nothing about anything outside of the ninja village. They earn money by taking on commissions.

It is the sharpest executioner's blade under the command of the daimyo.

The other daimyo and nobles also showed expressions of agreement. Ninjas were nothing but a bunch of crude warriors. What right did they have to plot for power and usurp the throne?

"But things are different now."

Yan Zhaoxiong smiled dismissively and said, "With the advent of the Samsara Game, do you all still think that ninjas will continue to live a peaceful life as before?"

It is a disgrace to share a name with these stupid, pig-like people.

For so long, all they've known is how to exchange food, drink, and entertainment from the cycle of reincarnation, without ever thinking about the changes happening in the world.

Rather than being slaughtered like pigs by ninjas in the future, it's better to leave now and at least retain the dignity of a nobleman.

Da da da.

Heavy, orderly footsteps approached from afar.

The heavy doors of the banquet hall were pushed open, and hundreds of soldiers clad in combat armor filed in.

"Step back!"

The daimyo and nobles all stood up in surprise, and the entourages behind them changed their expressions and hurriedly drew their samurai swords.

They weren't entirely stupid.

To avoid bandits and assassins, he would definitely have exceptionally skilled bodyguards around him.

Previously, players could choose between samurai and ninjas, but now there are better options, so the ninjas have been replaced with players from the Reincarnation game.

"Yan Zhaoxiong, do you want to become public enemy number one?"

The atmosphere was tense, like dry tinder ready to ignite; the slightest spark would set it off into a raging fire.

The daimyo of the Land of Wind took a deep breath. He usually had the best relationship with En Zhaoxiong, and said, "Don't be impulsive. Let them leave first. We can talk things over slowly. Whether it's ceding territory or demanding money, we can discuss it properly."

Up until now, they haven't been too nervous.

Their aristocratic mentality led them to believe that Yan Zhaoxiong only wanted to gain benefits. Since that was the case, they decided to back down for the time being and then join forces with the other daimyo to send ninjas to wipe out Konoha after returning home.

To avenge the hatred in my heart.

The other nobles shared the same thought, never expecting the daimyo of the Land of Fire to be so unrefined, yet they showed no concern for their own safety.

Nobles are exempt from punishment; this is an old tradition that has lasted for many years. Do you, Yan Zhaoxiong, really dare to defy the world's taboo?

Swish.

The snake princess's neck suddenly lengthened, and she swiftly lunged at the daimyo of the Land of Wind, tearing open his throat with her fangs, causing blood to flow everywhere.

He died instantly.

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue, licking the blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Lord Akio, is it alright to kill him?"

Yan Zhaoxiong glanced at the many nobles who were intimidated, and said with a cold look, "You and I have reached a cooperation agreement. First, kill the nobles to cause chaos in the four countries, then completely control Konoha, have enough armed forces, and then annex the world."

"Orochimaru, the Imperial Advisor, doesn't need to ask me about such trivial matters as killing the decaying flesh and blood of the old era."

"Kill them, then use transformation magic to disguise yourself as nobles!"
