Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

【Fallen Mountain Bandit (Black Wind Mountain) Lv.55】

"Bandits?"

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly. He was a man of great experience and knew that, in any world, bandits were at the very bottom of the food chain.

Even a regular monster is level 55. Is this the [Tier 4] Black Myth map?

at this time,

Several beams of teleportation light appeared.

"Grandma Tsunade, can you please stop gambling on forging? Your luck is just too bad!"

"I'm just unlucky?"

Clad in pure white armor, with exquisite features resembling a holy messenger, Tsunade sneered, "Since I'm so unlucky, how could I possibly cultivate the Corpse Guardians? You are the worst Abomination Butcher."

"I have no idea……"

Naruto squinted, looking extremely frustrated.

Mature zombie pets can evolve into various forms.

Tsunade's pet, [Rotten Guardian], is an extremely rare mutant, and also a rare Holy Light Defense type pet.

But he himself was just an ordinary, despicable butcher.

"It's really weird."

Jiraiya glanced lecherously at the dashing Tsunade, then quickly looked away before she could react, and said seriously, "Naruto has always been lucky, but Tsunade... you're called a fat sheep by the gamblers in Tanabata Street, and now it's the other way around."

"Humph."

Tsunade smiled confidently, "As a player, I have long since escaped my former fate. Now, I am the God of Gamblers."

can only say,

Although Naruto Uzumaki was favored by fate, he couldn't withstand the bloodsucking of the Konoha ninja clans and the Kage organization. His luck in the [Tier 1] Ninja World Source Conversion was simply not enough to withstand the drop of [Tier 2] items.

As for Tsunade...

"It's quite a scene, Tsunade, you idiot Jiraiya."

A sudden sound,

Tsunade and Jiraiya turned their heads almost simultaneously to look at the figure slowly walking in from the shadows.

Orochimaru!

Former best friends have now become enemies who will destroy Konoha.

Tsunade's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her anger undisguised, and she said coldly, "Orochimaru, what a small world!"

boom.

The thick cross, covered with holy symbols, was slammed into the ground by Tsunade like a stone pillar.

Jiraiya's expression was complicated at first, then his face was filled with murderous intent as he said, "Orochimaru, I told you, whoever betrays Konoha, I will kill him!"

"Is it just you?"

Orochimaru's golden snake eyes scanned Jiraiya's exposed weaknesses with disdain.

[Prophet Lv.41]

The Fire Empire also has [Prophets], whose skills are mostly used to support teammates, but their combat power is very weak.

Tsunade is a Paladin Level 43. Although the Holy Light attribute is a hard counter to her own necromancer,

However, there are limits to restraint.

If a real fight breaks out, as long as the weak Jiraiya is killed first, Tsunade will be unable to withstand the attack alone.

only……

Orochimaru glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, whose face looked like he was constipated.

According to intelligence, the opponent is also a Holy Light type [Temple Knight Lv.42], who has made a contract with Konoha as a [Temple]. The more severely Konoha is destroyed, the stronger they become.

It's rather troublesome.

However, I am not fighting alone.

"Naruto Uzumaki, how have you been lately?"

With white bandages wrapped around his fists and pure Nen energy swirling around him like mist, Neji Hyuga, the current head of the new Hyuga clan who was considered a traitor, appeared in Naruto Uzumaki's field of vision.

"Neji!"

Naruto Uzumaki's expression froze, a dull ache in his heart.

It's so painful to see my best friend, who once fought alongside me, betray Konoha and stand beside the enemy.

He demanded angrily, "Why did you betray Konoha?"

He had wanted to ask this question since the day Konoha was destroyed, and now he finally had the chance.

"Didn't you tell me that?"

Neji calmly said, "Fate can be broken. Even a bird locked in a cage can one day soar freely."

Naruto Uzumaki asked incredulously, "In your eyes, is Konoha and my comrades really such despicable things?"

He pointed at Orochimaru and said, "Are you going to join this guy who conducts human experiments, plants curse marks on innocent people, and enslaves them?"

Although he was the strongest player, he was infamous and ostracized by players in the ninja world.

It's related to Orochimaru's cruel acts.

"A cursed mark, a slave?"

Neji curled his lips into a sarcastic smile and shook his head, saying, "So, Naruto Uzumaki, even though you and I both gained great power from the Rinne Game, compared to me, you're more like a bird locked in a cage."

Chapter 420 Special Map, Road to the Underworld

Naruto frowned, unsure of Neji's meaning.

Tsunade and Jiraiya both wore complicated expressions, clearly knowing the reason for Hyuga Neji's betrayal.

Naruto Uzumaki wanted to ask more questions,

But Tsunade stopped him, sighed and explained, "The Caged Bird Seal is a cursed seal that the Hyuga main family cast on the branch family."

As Tsunade explained, Naruto's brows furrowed even more.

Looking at Neji, who had no expression, he said, "Isn't it right to become a guardian, to protect the main clan, and to protect Konoha?"

"protector?"

Neji gave a mocking smile and said, "If that's the case, then Orochimaru is also from the main branch of the family?"

Naruto Uzumaki was suddenly speechless.

In hindsight, the Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga main family and the cursed seal Orochimaru branded on his slaves seemed to be no different.

Neji raised his thumb, pointing to his smooth forehead, and questioned, "Is it wrong for a slave to want to break free of his shackles?"

Is the son of a scapegoat still a scapegoat in the end?

If this is destiny, then breaking it requires one's own will, and it is with this will that one has been able to get to where one is today.

[Nen Master, Level 44]

"So, you want to kill me, Jiraiya?"

Countless black cursed snakes crawled all over Orochimaru's body, unleashing a deathly aura. It was not aggressive, but it caused Tsunade and the others to change their expressions drastically.

"Gold level?"

Tsunade took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression.

Most players have noticed that the attributes of the corrupted monsters far exceed the basic player stats.

A player who simply levels up without wearing any equipment or skills has the same stats as a regular monster.

Players wearing blue-green quality equipment and skills can exert roughly the same strength as [Elite Monsters] and [Commander Monsters].

The same applies thereafter.

However, combat power is not only related to game items, but also to the difference in player level, which can easily lead to players making wrong judgments.

Therefore, the players themselves developed the fastest and most efficient standard for judging the strength of enemy players.

Every 10 levels serve as a watershed.

Compare the player with a corrupted monster of the same level.

The intensity of the aura emanating from Orochimaru is comparable to that of a Gold-level Corruption Monster at levels 40-49.

"Fighting is strictly prohibited inside the Reincarnation Shrine, so follow me!"

Orochimaru looked at the stunned Tsunade and Jiraiya, then stuck out his tongue and licked his chin.

Then, he turned and stepped out of the edge of the light of the Reincarnation Shrine and into the black mist zone.

"Tsunade……"

Jiraiya's expression turned serious as he said, "This is a good opportunity to test Orochimaru's strength. Don't be impulsive; let me fight him first."

"The Black Myth Map, death will teleport you to the Road to the Underworld..."

Tsunade frowned; everything was still uncertain.

Although the game hints that you can be resurrected by collecting the Underworld Flower by completing the [Underworld Quest], the quest details, difficulty, and time limit are all unknown.

"Don't worry, my ability is [Prophet]. Even if I can't beat Orochimaru, I can still escape unscathed."

Jiraiya laughed twice, then rushed out of the Rinnegan shrine, following closely behind Orochimaru's retreating figure.

After a few minutes,

Tsunade sensed something was wrong. There was no sound of fighting coming from inside the black mist. Could it be that Jiraiya was killed instantly?

suddenly,
