Danzo Shimura retorted without backing down, "If it weren't for your indulgence, allowing Asuma to throw a large sum of the village's funds into strange games, there wouldn't be any losses today."

"Danzo!"

"Hiruzen!"

Their eyes met, neither willing to back down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a grim face, "You are aware of Asuma's report on the Samsara Game. It involves multiple ninja villages and a mysterious game merchant behind it. Don't try anything underhanded at a time like this."

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura's expression also turned sour, and he replied, "Hiruzen, even you don't love Konoha more than I do. Everything I've done is for the village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained noncommittal for a long time before suddenly saying, "Danzo, I have decided to increase financial support for the Reincarnation Game missions."

In just half a month, the Samsara Game's performance has become impossible for the Kage of this largest ninja village to ignore.

He gradually began to agree with his son's words.

Including the drastically changed Hyuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto, their strength has undergone earth-shattering changes in just half a month.

Danzo's one eye widened suddenly, and he slammed his cane on the floor with a dull thud before saying, "Hiruzen, are you serious?"

"With years of peace, the daimyo keeps finding excuses to cut the village's military budget every year, and you still want to invest the money in some weird game? Are you crazy?"

"The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village have already made their moves. If Konoha doesn't act soon, it will only fall behind."

"They're just two defeated opponents, what's there to be afraid of?"

"This is a decision made by me and my two advisors. Danzo, you have no right to refuse."

Seeing his old friend put on Hokage airs, Danzo was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only say bitterly, "Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

boom.

The argument ended with the office door slamming shut.

Chapter 25 New Player Sasuke

the other side.

The Naka Shrine was originally a place used by the Uchiha clan for religious ceremonies and clan gatherings during major events.

The former buildings are now dilapidated, neglected for years, and overgrown with rampant weeds.

Whoosh whoosh.

Several shurikens traced graceful arcs, collided with each other, bypassed the huge rock, and each accurately struck a different bullseye.

Full marks.

Sasuke was covered in bruises from his training, panting heavily, and his face looked terrible.

Chakra surged into his eye sockets.

A pair of scarlet eyes, with two tomoe slowly rotating, looked particularly sinister.

"How could this be? Even the Sharingan can't defeat that guy?"

Sasuke trained continuously until he was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

My muscles are trembling all over; continuing to train will only have the opposite effect.

Is this my limit?

Some time ago, Sasuke noticed something was wrong with Naruto Uzumaki and took the initiative to challenge him to a duel at the forest training ground.

The result was a crushing defeat.

Whether in terms of combat awareness or physical fitness, he was completely outmatched.

Driven by the shock of losing to the bottom-ranked student, even his suddenly activated Sharingan couldn't defeat him.

"And those strange ninjutsu..."

Sasuke recalled the battle.

The fighting style displayed by his teammate, who was suddenly chosen to participate in the S-rank mission, was not that of a ninja at all.

Even the Sharingan cannot imitate it.

If Sasuke were to be defeated by a ninja whose age difference was too great, he would not be discouraged in the slightest.

But seeing his peers, who were considered the worst students, transform into powerful elite Chunin in a short period of time was a heavy blow that he could not accept.

"How can I kill that man if this continues!"

Sasuke pounded the floor hard, the hard bluestone floor turning his fists into a bloody mess.

He even considered asking the Hokage if he could participate in an S-rank mission as well.

But reason stopped him from acting.

After graduating from the ninja academy, I received more and more requests and became somewhat unaware of the situation in the village.

As the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke was well aware of the sensitivity of his current identity. If he were to go to the Hokage, he would only be humiliating himself.

Is there really no other way?

Sasuke was almost overwhelmed by pain, feeling a suffocating agony. He opened his mouth wide and let out a silent roar.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in his ear.

[Congratulations! You have been chosen by the mysterious game merchant and are qualified to become a player in the Reincarnation Game.]

You will be transported to the game tower shortly to participate in the beginner trial. Do you agree?

what sound?

Sasuke struggled to his feet, his ninja instincts prompting him to quickly survey his surroundings.

Although his chakra was depleted, he still activated his Sharingan to avoid being controlled by genjutsu.

Don't say anything else,

Sasuke was very aware of the immense power contained within his bloodline and was very proud of it.

The Sharingan's special abilities include the ability to easily see through illusions and hypnosis, as well as the powerful abilities of perception and copying.

"If you're trying to play tricks on these eyes, then you really are..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke was like a goose with its neck being grabbed.

Because it's not just the sound,

A light screen appeared before them, with clearly visible black characters, so clear that even the Sharingan could not detect any flaws.

Quietly awaiting his choice.

Sasuke was filled with doubt and suspicion. Even his Sharingan couldn't see through the genjutsu. This situation could only mean that the caster was far stronger than him and was proficient in genjutsu.

Who exactly wants to attack me within the village?

"Hey, this is..."

Sasuke noticed the text on the light screen had an option to unfold it, and after gently touching it, the folded text popped out.

Players participating in the reincarnation game will have the opportunity to change their fate and fulfill their wishes. Whether it's resurrecting the dead, possessing immense wealth, having the power to sweep across the ninja world, or achieving immortality, these are all prizes in this game.

"The power to sweep across the ninja world?"

Sasuke's breath caught in his throat after he saw the black text clearly.

He suddenly remembered the way Naruto showed off when he was the worst student, and how he had deliberately lured him into revealing some information.

The game was mentioned...

Sasuke's eyes widened. Could it be that the reason Naruto had suddenly become stronger was because of the black characters in front of him?

A game that can change your destiny?

Sasuke's heart pounded. He licked his chapped lips and tentatively reached out to touch the "agree" option.

Whoever was able to sneak into the village so silently already proved their strength.

If it truly grants me the power of revenge, even a trap wouldn't matter.

As long as we can kill Itachi Uchiha!

……

When Sasuke opened his eyes again, he found himself in a wide plaza.

He was surrounded by a crowd of people who had swayed as they stood up, their faces as blank as his.

There were approximately several hundred people.

"This is where?"

"I am a nobleman from the Kingdom of Wind. How dare you kidnap me! If you cause me even the slightest harm, I will never forgive you!"

"Land of Wind? Aren't I on a mission in Snow Village?"

After the initial confusion came chaos and fear.

Sasuke silently observed everyone, thinking to himself, "That's the symbol of Iwagakure. Judging from their attire, they're Chunin? ...And there are people dressed like commoners; they don't seem to be residents of the Land of Fire."

Among these people were well-equipped ninjas from various countries, poor people who looked hungry and cold, and nobles who were clearly terrified but still looked arrogant.

They were expecting a conspiracy, but to their surprise, the reincarnation game even included the poor.

"To win the prize in this strange game, you'd probably need to beat most people?"

Sasuke only cares about the power that can make him stronger.

"You trash from a small ninja village dare to question us?"

A Chunin wearing an Iwagakure headband glanced disdainfully at the uneasy Yuki ninja.

Although they are both Chunin

However, the five great ninja villages, which possess strong economic resources and have inherited various secret techniques and ninjutsu, are naturally stronger than their peers from the smaller ninja villages.

Some small ninja villages may not have as many ninjutsu techniques as a single clan in Konoha.
