Chapter 101: Watching the Ninja World Video, Answering Questions

Without mercy.

It was already a question that tore off the mask, practically pointing at the nose and asking: Is Cloud Village trying to attack Konoha?

Raikage Ai acted as if he didn't understand the implication, laughing: "My father was surrounded and killed by tens of thousands of Stone ninja; can I not bring some guards to protect my own safety?"

Onoki looked honest, but he was not a Shadow who would swallow his pride; he sneered: "The Third Raikage snuck into the heart of the Land of Earth; being killed was only natural."

Mentioning this matter made Onoki collapse to the point of vomiting blood.

You Cloud Village only lost one Shadow, while my Stone Village lost tens of thousands of ninja, suffering countless casualties and nearly having our lineage broken—how are you even shameless enough to mention hatred in front of me?

After destroying Konoha, I will deal with Cloud Village.

Onoki thought coldly to himself.

Before the game event had even begun, the atmosphere was already tense.

"Do you want to die, old man?"

Raikage Ai gently took off his conical hat, and Lightning Release chakra leaked out, causing his meticulously styled hair to stand on end.

Onoki did not show weakness, his right hand suddenly wrapped in a layer of hard rock.

Hiruzen Sarutobi loved to see such scenes, but he still hypocritically stepped out to mediate, saying: "Both of you, stop arguing; the Samsara Game exam is important."

These words caused both of their auras to stall instantly.

Following the orders of the leaders of each Ninja Village, the number of signing-up ninja visibly continued to rise.

"Apologies, I need to excuse myself for a moment."

The Kazekage suddenly said.

The tongue hidden beneath his white veil moved like a windshield wiper, indicating his excited mood at this moment.

Only ninja who signed up for the Chunin Exams were qualified to participate in the Samsara Game event.

Theoretically, none of the five Shadows were qualified to participate; they could only sit in the stands and observe the game situation.

But... I am Orochimaru!

Having long since disguised his identity as a female ninja from Kusagakure, and with the exam registration process being reasonable and compliant, did that mean he could also sign up to compete?

After leaving the stands, he stared at the light screen in the center of the exam venue and silently recited "sign up" in his heart.

【Respected player, you have successfully signed up for the event 【Ninja God Contest】. The event is about to begin, please do not walk away.】

Black text appeared before his eyes.

Orochimaru felt a surge of joy and hurriedly returned quietly to the changing room to put on a Kusagakure ninja outfit.

After putting on the forehead protector, he walked down the stairs in a grand manner.

"Stop, who are you?"

A ninja dressed as an Anbu suddenly appeared.

He was responsible for protecting the safety of the area where the five Shadows were located and strictly forbade suspicious personnel from approaching privately; the Kusagakure ninja before him was quite suspicious.

"You are truly lucky."

Orochimaru laughed, just like discovering delicious ingredients, which was hair-raising.

Before the Anbu could figure out the situation,

A black shadow suddenly appeared behind him, its body massive, its skull hitting the ceiling of the corridor.

A rotting stench.

A stiff arm grabbed the Anbu's neck, easily lifting him up, the powerful force pinning him into the wall like iron pincers.

The swollen right arm, covered in festering sores, was as terrifying as a tumor; Corpse Poison flowed through the fingernails into the pierced skin.

The blood turned black.

The Anbu struggled, wanting to escape, but the chakra in his body was polluted by the Corpse Poison, and he couldn't even release Ninjutsu; in an instant, he was corroded into meat paste by the Corpse Poison.

"Luck has turned into nutrients for the Ghoul."

Possessing the Primary Ghoul Bloodline, Orochimaru found it very easy to control this Ghoul, which had a body as hard as iron and was imbued with the Corpse Poison attribute.

Putting away the Ghoul,

Orochimaru blended into the examinees of the duel arena, waiting for the game event to start.

【Registration ended, number of participants: 1800】

"There are actually this many people?"

"Five hundred Reward Points, a full fifty million yen registration fee; are ninja this rich now?"

"They are all backed by the Noble Group and Ninja Villages; those rewards are too generous. Even if it were me, I would participate in the event at any cost."

Discussions arose everywhere.

Until the ground shook violently, and the already wide duel arena continued to extend outward.

Swish, swish, swish.

The entire ground was torn apart by an invisible force, turning into countless squares.

A tower-like structure; the examinees all stood at the bottom of the tower where there were the most squares. The further forward, the fewer the squares, until finally, one could vaguely see the remaining ten squares at the end, which was the finish line of the competition.

A die as large as the sun appeared in the sky, rotating.

"Respected players, this game event will be hosted by me, a game merchant."

"The gameplay is very simple: roll the die and move forward. Whoever reaches the finish line first wins."

A giant figure occupying the entire sky appeared, reaching out to grasp the die, wearing a polite smile, and bowing slightly to the ninja in the duel arena.

Sure enough, causing trouble is the most profitable.

The registration fees alone had already earned nearly a million Reward Points.

"What a terrifying entrance."

Raikage Ai looked up, revealing a look of shock.

Its body is comparable to a mountain and can easily reshape the earth; I fear that destroying the entire Kumogakure would be a simple task.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt quite regretful; if you had shown this form earlier, Danzou would not have dared to test you even if he had the guts of a bear and a leopard, sparing Konoha from an unprovoked disaster.

Terumi Mei covered her mouth.

She recalled how, after being swindled by the mysterious merchant earlier, she had said she wanted to bite him to death; now it seemed that even with Lava Release fully unleashed, she would be unable to injure him.

Fang Yi smiled slightly and said, "Next, please roll the dice in your hands."

Clatter, clatter.

After hesitating slightly, all participating players threw the dice that had suddenly appeared in their hands.

Some players tried to interfere with the dice using chakra, but it had no effect at all, and they received red warning text stating that if they violated the rules again, they would be disqualified.

Surprisingly,

after the dice stopped spinning, what appeared were not pips, but various different results.

"It's a monster!"

After a player from the Waterfall Ninja Village threw the dice, a skeleton soldier clad in Armor and wielding a spear suddenly appeared in the square where he was standing.

Before he could react, the skeleton soldier had already used its spear to pierce through his chest.

【Eliminated!】

In a short amount of time, countless players were rapidly eliminated, not even making it past the first round.

The monsters from other worlds were of all kinds: there were zombies with green faces and fangs, ghosts shrouded in mist...

"My Reward Points!"

The eliminated players were directly teleported out of the Duel arena and knelt outside, their entire beings nearly shattered.

Although they did not die, it was more painful than death.

Especially for the ninja from small Ninja Villages, 50 million yen was a massive fortune to them.

"Loser, watch your back!"

After Sasuke easily dealt with the monster that appeared, he turned his head to look into Naruto's square.

A strange halo of light was floating in the center.

Naruto scratched his head and laughed loudly, "Sasuke, are you worried about me?"

"Big idiot."

Sasuke was expressionless and cast a cold glance at him.

"Congratulations to player 【I Want to be Hokage】 for triggering a Golden Critical Hit after rolling the Fate Dice for the first time!"

Fang Yi looked at the golden halo in Naruto's square in surprise,

sighing inwardly that Uzumaki Naruto truly lived up to his reputation, being able to win the grand prize even without wearing a lottery shop uniform.

【Golden Critical Hit】

Reward: Sarina's Heart *5

Acquisition condition: After watching the video, correctly answer the related question.

Hint: If the answer is incorrect, the Golden Critical Hit will become a public segment; everyone can answer, and the cost to answer is 50 Reward Points.
