What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?.

Chapter 266: Hatake Sakumo is about to complete Sekiro (4K7)

Based on the situation in the ninja world, the newspaper published by Konoha Uzumaki Newspaper is a weekly newspaper, and only the weekly newspaper can ensure that it can be sold simultaneously in most areas where Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce has stores.

When the first issue of the newspaper was released, stores across the country promoted it, and the slogan began with a classic question.

[Want to know the latest information about the Ninja World? Want to know the latest politics in the Ninja World? Want to understand the latest policies of the five major countries? Want to know the grain production of each country this year?
If you want to know all this, come and buy the Whirlpool Weekly! It contains the latest intelligence information from all over the ninja world! You can learn everything about the ninja world without leaving home! 】

The above is the slogan. To be honest, it is quite exaggerated. At least that is the first reaction of people who see these slogans. But it also arouses strong curiosity in everyone. It completely hits the target zone, making people itchy and eager to see the content of this vortex weekly report.

Even the daimyo of the five major countries and the shadows of the other four major ninja villages except Konoha were full of curiosity.

As for why Konoha was not curious, it was because when the content of the newspaper was finalized, the Konoha high-level officials had a look at it in advance. It was mainly used as a case to let the Konoha high-level officials understand what the newspaper is and what its function is.

In fact, when they learned about the role of newspapers, Konoha's top leaders were surprised.

Because, its biggest function is that the Uzumaki Weekly will serve as Konoha's mouthpiece and propaganda machine in the future, recording some of Konoha's policies and things to attract foreign talents in the newspaper, thereby enhancing Konoha's credibility and attractiveness.

And this influence will be very comprehensive. From the nobles to the common peasants, everyone will be affected by the newspaper.

To be honest, when the Konoha high-level officials heard this statement for the first time, they all felt very novel and surprised.

The older generation headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen could not really understand these things. After all, things like personal bulletins were not new to the ninja world. They had existed thousands of years ago and had been developed for many years and were already very mature. The scope of their impact might be at most the aristocratic ninjas. What did it have to do with ordinary people?

You know, literacy is a big problem.

In response to this question, Kikyo, with the encouragement of Uchiha Kai, confidently explained how newspapers were different from official bulletins because of their comprehensive content. In addition, with the help of the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce, professional lecturers would be arranged at the places where these newspapers were sold.

These people are all poor and illiterate people recruited by the Chamber of Commerce locally. They have some knowledge, but they are neither able to achieve high or low levels of employment and have a hard time. If they are given a job, they will cherish it very much and then tell the story every day.

Moreover, there is no need to worry that these people will hurt their throats if they talk too much. Many medicines in the ninja world are considered high-tech products on Earth, which are enough to ensure the health of those people's throats. Moreover, they will not let one person read the newspaper all the time, but will recruit multiple people to take turns reading.

In addition, some important news will be placed directly in the various game halls and other stores of the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce to achieve the purpose of direct publicity.

It can be said that the operation of controlling public opinion will be as full as possible to maximize the power of newspapers.

These contents left the older generation such as Sarutobi Hiruzen stunned. They had never had any direct impression of this aspect and could not imagine the specific situation. When they saw that Tsunade and others were very interested in this and strongly supported it, they did not say anything.

In fact, it is mainly the attitudes of the forces represented by Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu and these two old men that are shown. Now Sarutobi Hiruzen only understands these things but does not interfere. No matter what Tsunade and Minato want to do, even if it feels strange and incomprehensible, the Third Hokage will not intervene.

Compared with these government affairs, the Third Hokage prefers to go back and appreciate the masterpiece of illusion game created by Jiraiya. He also heard that his good disciple Jiraiya's new work is about to be released. As a teacher, he naturally has to check on his good disciple and appreciate it in advance so as to provide useful suggestions and let his disciple continue to improve.

Uh, coming to the point, it seems like I haven’t visited Danzo for several days?

OK, OK! I have time today, so I'll go see him and spend two hours with him, no, about an hour!
After all, my old friend's temper has been getting weirder recently. Paralysis has made him very negative. He probably doesn't want to spend more time with him! There is no way. My old friend also loves his face. It must be painful for others to see his miserable appearance all the time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he must understand his old friend's desire to save face and spend as little time with him as possible.

When he thought of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that the light of righteousness was shining on the earth. There were not many people like him in the entire ninja world who took care of an old friend who had made a big mistake.

Not to mention this third-generation retiree who is completely hopeless, after the others passed the agenda, the newspaper issue was finalized and is now being sold to the outside world.

Although the promotional content was a bit exaggerated, it really hit the mark for the ninja world, which is in line with the middle school attributes of a certain island country, and aroused the interest of many people who were not interested in newspapers.

So, on the day the newspaper went on sale, sales outlets everywhere were crowded with people. Many people lined up early to buy the newspaper, and some people bought a lot at one time and then turned around to become scalpers.

Anyway, the price of a newspaper is very low, only one hundred taels, and this price corresponds to the classic square shape and multi-folded content of the newspaper, which is not much different from giving it away for free.

The minimum price of a magazine with the same content is two thousand. Even if the quality of newspaper paper cannot be compared with that of magazine paper, it is undoubtedly almost free.

Anyway, people who bought newspapers were very satisfied. Even those who bought from scalpers did not think it was expensive, because scalpers would only sell the newspapers for three hundred taels at most and would not dare to sell them too expensive.

After all, the retail price of the newspaper was only one hundred, and three hundred was already three times the profit.

Soon, people who bought the newspaper discovered that the content in the newspaper was really rich. All the content that had been promoted before was actually in the newspaper. Although a lot of the content was actually speculation and analysis, and there was no detailed and clear content, such as the policies of various countries, they did exist in the newspaper, and a lot of the content analysis was well-reasoned, which made people involuntarily believe that it was indeed the case after reading it.

In addition, there are some content about floods and droughts in certain areas, how local bureaucrats acted, whether they were corrupt, how the people lived, and data about grain harvests in various places. Many of them are facts because the officials in those places revealed the data. The data in other places are analysis and speculation, but these analyses and speculations borrowed from Konoha's intelligence system, so they are very close to the truth.

These contents establish the authenticity and fairness of the newspaper, making people involuntarily believe that the contents in the newspaper are true and think and imagine according to the ideas in these contents.

In addition, there is an entertainment segment at the end of the Whirlpool News. This is not gossip news, but content about illusion games. It analyzes the illusion games that have appeared now, and finally makes some imaginations, which makes people involuntarily look forward to more illusion games in the future.

The people in the ninja world have no intention of wasting their time on this illusion game. After all, real virtual games are very useful in both life entertainment and mainstream combat enhancement in the ninja world. They are completely different from traditional games and are an important content that all countries pay attention to.

Therefore, this section is also one of the most popular and most valued sections after the newspaper is released.

Anyway, after receiving the newspaper, the Kages of several major ninja villages read and thought about the contents of this section in detail and carefully.

In the end, all these thoughts turned into envy, jealousy and hatred towards Konoha!
Damn Konoha, they actually have an illusion game. I’m so jealous.

Why is Konoha always blessed by God?

Moreover, hadn't the Uchiha clan always been suppressed by Konoha? Why did they reconcile with Konoha after they had the illusion game and their influence became so huge?
Damn it! It would be great if the Uchiha clan and Konoha could just get into trouble because of the illusion game.

The Kages of the major ninja villages couldn't help but think this way, and became even more depressed. In fact, the major ninja villages had tried to stir up conflicts between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, but unfortunately they all failed.

Especially when Tsunade came to power, Minato took the top position, and Shimura Danzo was defeated, the final problem between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level officials was also solved.

Although there are still Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, they are not as extreme as Shimura Danzo. Before the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the two of them had the same attitude as Sarutobi Hiruzen. Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen took the initiative to step back and hand over power, and Shimura Danzo is paralyzed by his own ambition and obsession, the two have realized that their era is over.

The reason they are still in power today is that they did not cause trouble and did not go against the new people in power, so they will not say much about these things now.

Besides, is it that the benefits shared by the Uchiha clan are no longer attractive, or are they no longer satisfied with the dividends from Konoha's great development?
At this time, you want to have a conflict with Uchiha and turn against Uchiha? Is there something wrong with your brain? Not everyone is that stubborn idiot like Shimura Danzo.

Therefore, the other ninja villages could only watch as the Uchiha clan completely integrated into Konoha in a completely new way, gained a new life, and became stronger and stronger. The fact that the Uchiha clan kept breaking their eyes because of illusion games was not news in today's ninja world, and other ninja villages could find out with a little investigation.

After all, the Uchiha who have opened their eyes are important cattle and horses, and they will be sent to various departments or illusion game workshops to work, and this kind of thing cannot be concealed.

To be honest, this situation made other ninja villages feel anxious and frightened at the same time. The more relevant information they learned, the more they dared not rashly start a ninja world war.

Fortunately, Konoha developed quickly but also declined quickly. The major ninja villages still firmly believed that as long as Konoha continued to decline, it would sooner or later be completely corrupted and turned into a pile of mud that it could not afford.

At that time, it will be time for the Jedi counterattack to send Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world, to hell!
So just wait and hope.

In short, the first issue of Vortex Weekly was published with a comprehensive, fair, open and credible attitude, without any personal opinions, and was purely released with an objective attitude.

The purpose is to establish the credibility of this newspaper.

Once the entire ninja world completely believes the contents of the newspaper and subconsciously believes that what is said in the newspaper is the truth, it means that Uzumaki Weekly has mastered the power of public opinion, and people will subconsciously believe any private content published in it in the future.

For example, if there is a conflict between Kumogakure and Konoha, no matter which side starts the trouble, Uzumaki Weekly can say that it was Kumogakure that started the trouble, making people believe that it was all Kumogakure's fault, and even the people of Kumogakure Village and the Land of Lightning themselves would think that this is the truth.

For example, they write about the other two large villages in the newspaper, fanning the flames and stirring up conflicts. Because of the newspaper's credibility, people in the two villages will believe it, causing conflicts and hostility between the two sides.

This is just a relatively low-level method of use. There are many other ways of use. Those who have learned it only need to decide how to do it according to the situation.

Everything must be based on the establishment of the credibility of the newspaper. Therefore, the Kikyo Club will now repeatedly emphasize to its subordinates that the newspaper must be fair, objective and truthful!

Fortunately, although the people in the newspaper office did not understand the twists and turns, they were very obedient, so they all completed the tasks assigned by Kikyo unswervingly.

Everything in the newspaper office was proceeding in an orderly manner.

When Uchiha Kai saw that the newspaper was successfully sold and received a warm and positive response, he felt relieved. He then let the matter go and continued to do his own thing.

The first thing, naturally, is to care about Konoha White Fang who is living his second life.

After checking with administrator privileges in the spiritual network world, Uchiha Kei discovered that Hatake Sakumo had survived in the game for more than a year and had already killed his way through Ashina Country.

In the original "Sekiro" game, the protagonist at this time should only be in the novice tutorial level, and it will take several years after the failure for the game plot to officially begin, which is a period of depression.

The entire process is briefly mentioned and not shown in detail in the game.

However, in this enhanced version of Sekiro with a high degree of freedom, a lot of content and the entire game world have been expanded and optimized. It is not the same as in the game with only such a large map and so many people.

The entire game world is a complete island country, and Hatake Sakumo, who transformed into a wolf, did not follow the original plot of the game at the beginning. Instead, he was confused and hesitant, and wanted to take a good look at this world.

So, after bidding farewell to the master he was loyal to and to his family in Ashina Country, Hatake Sakumo, who was completely unaware of the plot of the game, began his journey in the island country and witnessed many people and things.

Under the influence of the mental network's powerful AI function, the virtual world that Hatake Sakumo could not see any problems with allowed him to witness a real other world.

There is no chakra, no ninjas that can perform all kinds of cool ninjutsu, and even no extraordinary powers can be seen.

The people of this land showed Shigesaku Hatake what it was like to be in a world where people had the same origin but were heading in completely different directions. This made the man understand that even if there was nothing, people would still be full of struggles, and if ordinary people were combined together, they would still kill crazily, and even cause a war with more casualties than the Ninja War.

After traveling across most of the island country, Hatake Sakumo returned to Ashina Country with mixed feelings, ready to completely accept his identity as a wolf and fulfill his mission.

As a result, after coming back, it was as if a quest point had been triggered, and the original plot of "Sekiro" began to unfold.

Something unexpected happened in Ashina Province. The family of the master that the wolf was loyal to was attacked and the people were captured.

Thus, a personal heroic poem about salvation begins.

With the idea of ​​saving others in mind, Hatake Sakumo's killing journey begins.

Throughout the Ashina Province, as well as in the game's key derivative scenes and other key locations, various enemies and monsters emerged, but all fell under the ruthless blade of Hatake Sakumo.

Moreover, Hatake Sakumo and Wolf are not the same person after all. Even though he was forced to fail once due to the plot, which led to the capture of the master he was protecting, he did not become depressed for several years like the protagonist of the original novel. Instead, he directly started a new combat mode after he recovered, like a ruthless killing machine, killing and slashing all the way, no one could stop him, no one could stop him, he would kill gods if they stood in his way, and he would kill Buddhas if they stood in his way!
After all, the reputation of Konoha White Fang was not gained through entanglement, but through killing.

For Hatake Sakumo, this journey of salvation is nothing more than fighting another Ninja World War in the identity of another person.

So, in just over a year in the game world, Hatake Sakumo accomplished what the protagonist of the original work took several years to do.

And, up to now, Hatake Sakumo is completing the final story in the game, which is to find a way to end the immortality of Dragon Blood according to the will of the master he is loyal to, and completely destroy the endless curse brought about by immortality.
