Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

The Ghost General's blood-red greatsword had already been thrown, piercing through Mei Terumi's abdomen like a javelin, killing her instantly.

"Mizukage-sama!"

With a roar, Chojuro leaped high into the air, aimed his twin swords at the monster, and swooped down at incredible speed.

A flash of silver light fell from the blade.

But before the shockwave could explode, the Ghost General broke through his twin swords and sent him flying with one arm.

"I'm fine, keep the attacking!"

After Mei Terumi revives on the spot, she quickly puts distance between herself and the monster.

The advantage of spending reward points to revive on the spot is that you can revive at full health immediately.

Unlike the cheap return-to-town resurrection, which leaves you in a weakened state after resurrection, requiring you to either buy recovery potions or wait for a slow recovery.

……

Outside the thick castle walls.

"Just as I predicted, someone has infiltrated the castle, intending to hunt down the Ghost General!"

Hempen Cloth waved his hand, signaling the players behind him to keep quiet.

She inserted her fingers into the cracks in the rough wall, her magic power rapidly depleted, and an invisible wave pierced through the wall and extended inward.

Mental perception.

This is a very useful skill, although it requires consuming reward points to continuously upgrade the skill in order to expand the range of perception.

However, his ability to perceive things is even stronger than the famous bloodline limit of Konoha, the Byakugan.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, countless shinobi died because they were exposed by the Byakugan.

It's impossible for other ninja villages not to covet it.

However, the Byakugan possesses an almost cruel defensive mechanism, capable of self-destruction, making it impossible to kill or gouge out the eyes.

Mabui wasn't good at fighting, so she took the support role.

The image of a fierce battle inside the castle flashed through my mind.

"It's Mei Terumi from Kirigakure!"

The man in linen clothes frowned, sensing something was amiss.

If it were those poor guys from Sunagakure, even with their relentless leveling up, they could still raise their levels to the level of top-tier players.

However, without the support of equipment, they have absolutely no chance of competing with the Hidden Cloud Village.

Putting aside others, Samui alone, wearing five pieces of Ghost Armor and activating the set effect, could wipe out a five-person player team in the Sand Village game by herself.

Who made Sunagakure poor?

The area is plagued by constant sandstorms and is resource-poor. Even mission requests are snatched up by other countries, leaving the area with no resources to support the terrifying financial drain of the Reincarnation Game.

But Kirigakure is different.

Although it is a closed-off country, it refers to Kirigakure, not the Land of Water. Geographically, it is a chain of islands, and coral, pearls, seashells, and abundant aquatic products are all good businesses that can be traded for large sums of money.

Mabui secretly spent 50 reward points to buy information about Terumi Mei from a player in the Mist Hidden Alliance.

Judging solely from their attributes, even Samui, the strongest fighter in the Cloud Hidden Alliance, is no match for Mei Terumi.

Of course, the difference isn't significant.

If a real fight breaks out, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

However, the Mist Alliance has expended a great deal of energy hunting the Ghost General, and the Cloud Alliance has not exposed itself, hiding in the shadows and preparing to strike. There is a high probability that they will snatch this prize.

suddenly,

Linen-clad's expression hardened slightly as he looked towards a spot not far from the castle's outer wall.

The view was empty.

However, within my mental perception, there was a team quietly lurking and approaching.

"Discovered..."

Asuma, dangling from the iron skewer, keenly sensed the Cloud Hidden Alliance's spying.

The chameleon potion they purchased was of a very low grade; it was barely enough to fool the ghost army, and it didn't have the ability to shield against mental energy.

Maintaining a safe distance, Mabui smiled and said, "So it's Konoha Village. You want a piece of the pie too?"

Instead of answering, Asuma asked, "Where's Kumogakure? Are they here shopping?"

Naruto and Omoi exchanged a glance, both seeing the hostility in each other's eyes.

"The Mist Alliance is the strongest. If we fight now, we will completely lose the opportunity to hunt the Ghost General."

"Let's join forces against Mist Shadow first."

Both sides tacitly agreed not to discuss the ownership of the spoils.

The battle within the ruined castle intensified.

at this time,

The Ghost General's health is still at a healthy level, but the Fog Shadow Alliance has already consumed thousands of reward points.

If this terrifying drain continues until the end of the battle, Kirigakure will likely go bankrupt.

"Chōjūrō!"

Mei Terumi's gaze suddenly fell on the rough, thick walls of the castle.

Chojuro understood immediately and rushed to the wall, wielding his twin blades at lightning speed to make a cut.

The thick wall was cut in two like tofu, collapsing and breaking.

"As expected of the Mizukage, he was discovered as soon as the concealment effect of the item disappeared."

Samui assumed a fighting stance, blocking in front of Mabui, wary of Chojuro's sudden attack.

The entire Konoha squad consisted of combat players, so they immediately spread out and found their own angles for attack and defense.

Chapter 21 The Hunt for the Ghost General is a Success

"Everyone, if we don't make a move soon, the Mist Hidden Alliance will have no choice but to give up the hunt."

Mei Terumi smiled dignifiedly, maintaining her elegant demeanor even under the oppressive aura of the monster.

The tone was firm.

She did underestimate the strength of the Ghost General and failed to hunt him down as quickly as possible, which allowed the hyenas of Kumogakure and Konoha to sense that something was wrong.

Of course, giving up hunting is out of the question.

If a hunting plan that has already invested a huge amount of money fails to yield any spoils, even if one is the Mizukage, one will be impeached by the senior advisors.

With two other players present, the hunting pressure will definitely be shared.

But the other two players were quick-witted.

Asuma chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, Mizukage, our Konoha Village is too weak to participate in this hunt."

The leader of the Hidden Cloud Sect, dressed in hemp clothing, remained silent.

Clearly, they were also watching the show.

"Hum..."

Mei Terumi had anticipated this, and smiled, "Since that's the case, you can't blame me."

A pre-prepared scroll suddenly exploded.

A transparent black net enveloped everyone present, including the Ghost General, and then vanished.

The Scroll of Hatred.

This is a one-time use item that increases the monster's aggro towards players present, thus enhancing the monster's attack intent.

The Ghost General was highly intelligent, but after being injured by traps and then repeatedly ambushed and assassinated, his rationality had long since plummeted to its lowest point.

This scroll was like the final spark, igniting it completely.

Its icy blue eyes, radiating a chilling aura, stared fiercely at all the players.

The ghosts breathed.

The monster opened its mouth and spewed out a thick stream of ghostly energy.

The ever-flowing stream of ghostly water is teeming with countless claws and faces struggling and tumbling, a grotesque and terrifying sight.

Like a river bursting its banks, it instantly submerged half the castle.

"Get out of the way!"

All the players were shocked, never expecting that the monster had such a powerful area-of-effect attack.

They leaped up, taking cover on higher ground to avoid the onrushing ghostly aura.

The two players from the Cloud Hidden Alliance reacted a beat too slow and were immediately submerged by the Ghostly Stream. The ghostly phantoms within extended countless claws, dragging them into the depths.

"Senior Dou!"

Naruto reached out and grabbed Kabuto Yakushi, who was nearly swallowed up.

After regaining his balance, Kabuto smiled gently and said, "As expected of Naruto, he will definitely become a powerful ninja in the future!"

"Not even!"

Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly; it felt so good to be recognized.

After becoming a player, the person he was closest to in the game was Kabuto, who was not only gentle and kind, but also never mocked his dream of becoming Hokage and would encourage him.

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses, his smile unchanged.

Lord Orochimaru issues a new mission, and without anyone noticing, he kidnaps Naruto Uzumaki.

The task is extremely difficult.
