Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 106 The War Begins

Inside the dueling arena,

A ninja from Kusagakure bowed respectfully, addressing the colossal, god-like figure in the sky, and asked, "Respected Mr. Fang Yi, may I withdraw from the game event?"

"Of course, the Reincarnation Game is entirely voluntary, and you can quit the game midway through."

"However, as a punishment for passive play, one piece of equipment, skill, or item will be randomly deducted from the player's inventory."

Fang Yi laughed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru was quite clever, managing to come up with the idea of ​​using the cycle of reincarnation to achieve his goal.

Registration fee has been collected, and reward points have been received.

Even if all players quit, I won't lose out.

Thank you for your understanding.

Orochimaru, with a smile on his face, threw the dice.

A grotesque skeleton cavalryman appeared, its skeletal horse neighing as it swung its sword at Orochimaru.

Level 9, Skeleton Cavalry.

Orochimaru is a level 15 necromancer who controls level 15 ghouls, making it easy for him to kill the monsters in front of him.

But he chose to open his arms.

puff.

The skeleton rider's cleaver severed Orochimaru's head. Before Orochimaru could even use his life-saving technique, the Substitution Style, a burst of white light dissipated, and Orochimaru was eliminated and kicked out of the duel arena.

[You have been judged to be playing passively, and your ninjutsu [Reanimation Jutsu] has been deducted.]

"That's really terrifying."

Orochimaru clearly noticed that his memories of the Reanimation Jutsu were gradually fading.

Until they are completely forgotten.

Although it hurt, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, the White Scale Serpent wasn't taken away, nor was the carefully cultivated Plague Ghoul."

Summoning Jutsu: Great Serpent

A burst of smoke erupted, attracting everyone's attention.

A giant serpent from the Earth Dragon Cave swayed its tail and flicked its tongue, scaring the nearby eliminated ninjas into retreating.

Orochimaru!

Jiraiya roared as he looked at the familiar figure standing on the head of the giant snake.

"Don't act rashly, there's a Purple Flame Barrier!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed the enraged Jiraiya, focusing all his attention on the enemy confronting them within the Four Purple Flame Formation.

His heart sank.

None of them were opponents that could be easily defeated, especially since they were outnumbered.

"Jiraiya, don't forget what I taught you: don't get distracted in battle, focus solely on the enemy!"

"I understand, old man."

Inside the dueling arena,

Temari asked with a worried expression, "Kankuro, should we also withdraw from the game event?"

"No, we'll continue."

After watching the video, Kankuro's face was somber. He said, "Since Father has already been ambushed by Orochimaru, this war has nothing to do with Sunagakure. Maki will make the right choice."

It's okay, we still have resurrection coins.

If Gaara were willing, he could revive Rasa, and Sunagakure would not descend into chaos.

"Kankuro, you can have this resurrection coin!"

Gaara revealed a bloodthirsty look, and when he saw Rasa die, his whole body trembled with excitement.

What followed was an endless emptiness.

Even though the person he hated most was already dead, the Fourth Kazekage, who sealed a monster inside himself and kept sending people to assassinate him, was killed by the even more evil Orochimaru.

I should be happy, right?

It must be because I didn't kill him with my own hands, that must be it. In that case, let's revive him and then kill him!

Kankuro took the resurrection coin, his expression one of astonishment.

I thought I would have to use a lot of persuasion to get the revival coin from Gaara, but I didn't expect him to take it out on his own.

Gaara said with a ferocious expression, "Since my purpose in existence is to kill, isn't my value only demonstrated by killing the strongest person?"

Kankuro remained silent.

His own brother, Gaara, is sinking deeper and deeper into the path of paranoia and madness.

He tried to put his hand on Gaara's shoulder, but was stopped by a sudden surge of sand.

This is the behavior of someone who is seen as an enemy.

These automatically defending sands are not controlled by Gaara, but rather his mother infused them with her chakra and will before she died, protecting him in this way.

Whenever Gaara senses danger or fear, the sand will passively defend itself.

Are we even being treated as enemies?

Kankuro looked dejected as he twirled the resurrection coin in his hand.

[Please select a resurrected character; their strength cannot exceed level one.]

"The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa."

Without any dazzling or flashy effects, a series of specks of white light appeared, and the Fourth Kazekage appeared with a blank expression, his face still bearing the resolute look he had before his death.

Before he could react,

Kankuro's fist had already slammed heavily into his face, slamming him into the ground.

"Father, this punch is for Gaara to beat you up."

……

Hyuga clan territory,

"Lord Neji was eliminated right at the start! What a pity. He's so strong, it's just bad luck!"

A beautiful young woman from the branch family, one of Neji's subordinates in the game's guild, offered words of comfort.

"I was pretty lucky."

After Neji uttered this inexplicable statement, he knelt in the center of the training ground, closed his eyes slightly, and waited quietly.

"It's terrible, Neji-sama! Even in the Chunin Exams, with your strength, you'd definitely get the title of Shinobi God, and the Hyuga clan would be famous throughout the ninja world!"

The girls from the separated family chattered away.

Neji opened his eyes and asked, "Rinko, do you have a reason to fight?"

"Reason for fighting?"

Rinko Hinata was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Lord Neji would suddenly ask such a question, but she still answered matter-of-factly, "Fighting for the main clan, protecting the main clan is our reason for fighting, even if it means sacrificing all our flesh and blood."

She envied Lord Neji for being able to gain the favor of the main family.

However, she soon found that she was able to do it too. The Hyuga clan obtained a lot of exchange items by virtue of her status as a player in the Samsara Game. The clan head and elders all saw her contributions to the main family.

"Is that so? In that case, I can't take you with me..."

As Neji finished speaking,

Suddenly, a blinding white light burst forth from the sky, mixed with a giant dragon of water and fire, and exploding lightning.

The giant snake raised its head, the toad brandished its knife...

Chaotic chakra energy permeated the entire Hidden Leaf Village, destroying buildings and causing the ground to cave in.

boom.

The roars and sounds of battle began to rise!

One after another, figures with bulging veins at the corners of their eyes entered the training ground and knelt beside Neji. The leader whispered, "Lord Neji, the enemy village's elite troops have begun to attack. We can take this opportunity to leave."

"leave?"

Neji looked puzzled, then raised his head to look at the Hokage Rock.

Anyone in Konoha Village can see the rock face high up on the ground. Only the strongest ninja who inherits the Will of Fire will be carved into the rock face and become the Hokage.

One by one, the energy beads scattered, swirling around him like satellites.

Neji, unusually disregarding the Hyuga clan's etiquette, grinned and said, "Konoha is our home. Why leave? We only need to sweep away the filthy dust to start afresh."

Hinata Rinko's expression changed, as if she had realized something.

Until she saw the Hyuga branch family members, following Neji's actions, tear off their headbands, revealing their smooth, white foreheads...

"Lord Neji, you actually betrayed your clan?"

Hinata Rinko's voice trembled, her face filled with disbelief.

Gentle, polite, and humble, Neji, known as the Glory of Hyuga, surprisingly chose to remove the cursed seal of the Caged Bird Seal and betray his clan.

"We all admire you and want to become strong ninjas like you to protect the main clan, but... why?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but worship is the furthest distance from understanding."

A pearl imbued with violent Nen energy pierced through Rinko Hinata's chest.

"When we were hunting the polluted monster, I told you to exchange for a set of armor with recovery effects. With this kind of injury, you should be able to move around again by tomorrow."

"Let's go, you caged bird willing to rebel, it's time to tear the iron cage apart!"
