Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

In fact, Naruto was thinking that he would take advantage of the time before going to sleep to hunt down two more ghost guardians.

"Are you scared now?"

"To be honest, Sasuke, you are no match for me right now."

Naruto scratched his head, his fighting spirit not particularly strong.

After becoming a player of the Reincarnation Game, his strength grew stronger and stronger. According to Captain Asuma, he was no less than an elite Chunin.

And even then, not all the equipment has been certified.

If all the equipment is certified, it can enhance physical fitness in reality, and one may even be able to fight against Jonin.

boom!

Sasuke, expressionless, suddenly sprang up and slammed a punch hard at Naruto.

The punches were powerful and heavy, creating a series of whooshing sounds as they flew through the air.

Naruto quickly raised his arms to try and block the punch, but felt a sharp pain in his arms from the impact.

He was knocked back two steps by Sasuke's punch.

Naruto exclaimed in surprise, "Sasuke, you..."

"Enough with the nonsense, let me see your true strength, you loser!"

"Arrogant Sasuke, still as conceited as ever!"

Naruto, who originally didn't want to fight, was spurred on by the loser and immediately became serious.

He pulled out a certified beginner's iron sword from his backpack and activated his class skill, Whirlwind Slash.

This was the first skill he encountered after becoming a warrior.

It is incredibly powerful and can easily split through thick city walls.

Now that I've upgraded it to Lv.4, if I unleash my full power, I can even break through the very sturdy defensive barrier at the edge of the village.

Naruto slightly reduced his strength, afraid that Sasuke wouldn't be able to catch it.

boom.

Unexpectedly, a short sword suddenly appeared in Sasuke's hand, and he swung it vigorously.

Swords clashed.

Sasuke actually withstood the impact of the Whirlwind Slash and forced the spinning iron sword to stop.

Naruto couldn't believe it and exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Seeing that Naruto was being suppressed by him, Sasuke's lips curled up, and he was very satisfied.

He already knew that Naruto was also a player in the Reincarnation Game.

Moreover, they were among the first players selected by the mysterious game merchant, which is why their strength increased dramatically in a short period of time.

Now that I'm a player myself, that gap has disappeared.

Although Naruto's level is higher than his own.

However, he possesses the treasures left behind by the Uchiha clan, all of which he has exchanged for high-quality equipment and verified in reality, enabling him to defeat stronger opponents despite being weaker.

"You're also a player of the reincarnation game?"

After recognizing the familiar beginner's iron sword, Naruto, oblivious to the danger, belatedly exclaimed.

Sasuke gave a thumbs-up, pointed to his headband, and laughed, "Seriously, such slow observation skills, Naruto. I'll soon surpass your level, and then you won't even be qualified to touch my forehead!"

"Damn it, arrogant Sasuke, you're too cocky!"

Naruto was enraged by his attitude.

Take a deep breath,

A powerful aura emanated from his body, and the falling leaves were bounced away by this astonishing updraft.

Warriors are highly skilled melee fighters.

Armor of Fury.

Waves of crimson energy materialized into armor, enveloping Naruto and greatly enhancing his attack and defense capabilities.

"Don't get distracted, Naruto!"

Sasuke lowered his body and slammed his left foot into the ground, using the recoil to ram into Naruto.

A furious blade pierces through armor.

Naruto swung his beginner's iron sword, crimson energy flowing into it, unleashing a scarlet blade of light.

boom.

Sasuke was sent flying, crashing solidly into a tree trunk, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Are you OK?"

Naruto ran over worriedly, wanting to help his comrade who had collapsed to the ground.

Rage Blade Armor Break is a warrior skill with extremely high penetrating power. It can easily tear through the armor of a Ghost Guardian. In reality, even a Chunin would be seriously injured by such a blow.

Sasuke stood up unsteadily, looked at Naruto with concern in his eyes, and, out of Naruto's sight, curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

Then, he slapped away the other person's hand that was trying to help him up.

"I don't need your help, Naruto. Don't flatter yourself."

"Damn it, who wants to help you, you arrogant, expressionless guy!"

Naruto angrily roared at Sasuke.

Sasuke impatiently turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to the crazed Naruto.

Only after Naruto left did Sasuke's gaze fall on his retreating figure, lost in thought for a long time.

To some extent,

The bottom-ranked guy was one of the few friends he acknowledged, and they had a close relationship that even he himself couldn't quite understand.

Similarly, that idiot has lived surrounded by malice since childhood, and he himself is one of the few friends the other party can count on one hand.

But the two are different.

The fool has never had a family, so he stubbornly believes that as long as he works hard, he can have a wonderful life.

But having truly tasted the pain of loss and experienced the feeling of being powerless despite a desperate struggle, I have come to despair about everything.

It was this complex emotion that made Sasuke both envious of Naruto and unable to resist wanting to shatter Naruto's naive and childish views.

"Naruto……"

Sasuke muttered to himself.

I recall Itachi Uchiha mentioning that the way to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan is to kill your closest friend.

"I will absolutely not awaken those cursed eyes as you wish. I have my own methods!"

Sasuke took a deep breath, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind.

Looking at the traces of battle around me, I felt a surge of anticipation.

As long as I continue hunting monsters in the cycle of reincarnation, I will definitely become stronger, stronger than Naruto, stronger than Kakashi-sensei.

Finally... kill that man!

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Sasuke left the training ground.

Just as he left, a ninja dressed in ANBU uniform and wearing a mask quietly ran towards the Root base.

Chapter 38 Talisman Master Xiao Nan

root.

Hidden inside the mountain are spacious caves, with rows of moss-like structures embedded in the cave walls, densely packed together.

This is the village's secret base, and also an independent organization separated from the assassination squad by permission granted by the Third Hokage.

root.

The former Root ninja knelt before a thin old man whose body was wrapped in bandages.

"I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. This brat from the Uchiha clan was also chosen by the Reincarnation Game?"

Danzo remained expressionless, silently calculating in his mind.

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to fully support Asuma and invest a large sum of money in the Reincarnation Game, the differences between the two have grown increasingly larger.

If I hadn't stood up in time back then...

The teacher will definitely pass the Hokage position to me, who is more suitable to protect Konoha!

Hiruzen is nothing but an indecisive, spineless fool.

Danzo said calmly, "Go, evade the ANBU's surveillance, and bring Uchiha Sasuke to see me."

The Uchiha clan are all cunning rats; even seemingly harmless orphans could threaten the very foundation of the village.

It must be nipped in the bud.

Now that Uchiha Sasuke has come into contact with the Reincarnation Game, as long as he doesn't die, he will inevitably become stronger and stronger.

When the truth that has been buried is revealed, it may lead to things getting out of control.

Instead of directly recruiting them into the Root organization, we can brainwash them and turn them into a sharp sword completely loyal to Konoha.

"All of this is for the village!"

Danzo sighed inwardly, feeling heartbroken whenever he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's incomprehensible gaze.

You are a branch bathed in sunlight, enjoying everyone's admiration and love.

I am the root of Konoha, and I dedicate everything to the village.
