Chapter 131: Players Preparing to Head to the New World

The ruins of the original Konoha Village,

Konoha City, currently under reconstruction, is filled everywhere with bustling workers carrying heavy bags of cement and timber, building the new imperial palace of Konoha City.

The State Preceptor's Mansion,

Yan Zhaoxiong and Orochimaru are discussing the next layout and plans.

"You mean to distribute Ninjutsu so that all commoners can learn it?"

"That is correct."

Orochimaru sticks out his tongue, his golden pupils full of excitement, and explains: "Those foolish Ninja Villages lock all the Ninjutsu they research into the Scroll of Seals, simply because they fear that if commoners learn Ninjutsu, they will lose their advantage."

Take the secret technique clans of Konoha, for example,

The Nara Clan's Shadow Possession Jutsu of the Yin Release, which appears profound and mysterious, is a clan secret. They claim to the outside world that it is because Nara clansmen have a special constitution and are naturally attuned to Yin Release chakra that they can master it.

Once made public, one would discover that while Nara clansmen are indeed slightly more attuned to Yin Release due to generations of passing down the Shadow Possession Jutsu, that bit of affinity is completely negligible.

If a commoner genius with outstanding talent and extreme natural affinity for Yin Release were to appear, they could crush the Nara Clan into nothingness in an instant.

Just like Namikaze Minato,

Without a clan heritage, without a Kekkei Genkai, he relied on his talent to shake the ninja world and become the Fourth Hokage.

Then there is the Akimichi Clan's Yang Release Multi-Size Technique, the Yamanaka Clan's mental secret techniques, the Aburame Clan, the Inuzuka Clan... all of them hold onto their internal secret techniques.

They guard them strictly, terrified of any leaks.

Why?

Because once leaked, the advantage the secret technique clans hold over commoner ninjas would vanish completely.

This is the class barrier deliberately constructed by the Ninja Clans and Ninja Villages.

Even if commoners have the talent to cultivate chakra and luckily enter the Ninja Academy, after graduating with excellent grades, they can only master basic Ninjutsu like the Three Basic Techniques.

Then they start going to the battlefield, relying on crude Taijutsu and the Three Basic Techniques to survive on a battlefield that can be called a meat grinder, only then being able to exchange for a few common Great Fireball Techniques at the Ninja Village.

And look at the ninjas of the secret technique clans?

If their talent is slightly inferior, or if they belong to a faction close to the Hokage, they are thrown into the Ninja Academy. After graduation, they release clan secret techniques, easily standing out and rapidly growing into Chunin or even Jonin, becoming the indispensable backbone of the Ninja Village.

These commoner ninjas are the stepping stones and whetstones for the secret technique clans, while simultaneously serving as high-quality cannon fodder for the Ninja Village's foreign wars.

Not enough resources?

Forced by necessity?

Pure, nonsensical bullshit.

The ninja world, which can give birth to the God Tree's Chakra Fruit, is filled with abundant energy everywhere; even if the entire population cultivated chakra, there would be enough resources.

Yan Zhaoxiong says worriedly: "If they all cultivate chakra, will it cause turmoil?"

As a Daimyo, what he fears most is chaos.

The idea of the State Preceptor Orochimaru is extremely bold; once it starts running, the Konoha Empire will likely become the public enemy of the ninja world, because this move overturns the pattern of the ninja world that has lasted for hundreds or thousands of years.

Orochimaru laughs, like a cold, venomous snake, and says indifferently: "Strengthen observation; all commoners who cultivate chakra will directly become the new nobles of the Konoha Empire."

"Commoner ninjas who have tasted the flavor of power will naturally not be willing to be beaten back to their original form by the old ninja clans. When the time comes, we won't even need to act; they will bleed their last drop of blood for the Konoha Empire themselves."

Orochimaru presents the plan he had long since written to Yan Zhaoxiong.

Having been a rogue ninja and building the Sound Ninja Village in just a few years, Orochimaru's management ability is very outstanding; it is just that his mind was not focused on managing a Ninja Village.

Yan Zhaoxiong's eyes are burning, watching until he is trembling all over, clapping repeatedly.

"After the commoners cultivate chakra and learn Ninjutsu, I will apply the Cursed Seal to them, allowing them to become stronger in a short period of time."

Orochimaru's eyes are full of anticipation,

The Cursed Seal is a product he is proud of; he can attach his own chakra to the Cursed Seal and indirectly control them.

He has already experimented,

For the Sound Ninja Four who have been applied with the Cursed Seal, he can exchange for a portion of their Ninjutsu from the Game Mall. Although it is not all of them, only that portion of Ninjutsu frequently released after Cursed Seal transformation that is tainted with the aura of the Cursed Seal, it is enough to make Orochimaru excited.

This is the biggest reason why he is willing to be the State Preceptor!

If the Ninjutsu of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of commoners applied with the Cursed Seal who have cultivated chakra, were all exchanged by him, how many Reward Points would that be?

Just thinking about it makes Orochimaru's tongue fly wildly in excitement.

"This is the true... Ninja Era for all!"

The wanton laughter echoes within the State Preceptor's Mansion.

"Kurotsuchi, Zito, Huangtu... and I, Onoki, as the first batch of Rock Ninja to head to the New World."

Onoki scans all the Rock Ninja clans with a solemn expression.

There are a total of fifty Arad Continent Maps, allowing fifty Rock Ninja to enter the New World.

The most critical thing is,

The New World actually does not restrict one's own strength, which means that even Onoki, who just received the Game Invitation and barely reached level 7, can exert his full strength on the Arad Continent.

"Old man!"

Huangtu says with a worried look: "Your Dust Release was indeed very powerful in the previous ninja world, but now it is the era of the Samsara Game; you must not take it lightly."

After becoming a player, his own father's strength is clear at a glance.

50 points of spirit attribute, the fully mastered Purple Skill 【Dust Release】, and dozens of fully mastered Blue Skills 【Earth Release】.

In the former ninja world, he was probably the strongest among the five Shadows.

But today, the strength displayed by Terumi Mei has already completely surpassed the level of Shadow,

Even if he refuses to accept it, the attribute gap and the number of Purple Skills are there; the old man probably wouldn't be a match even if he risked this old life.

Moreover,

In the ninja world, there are ninjas as powerful as Terumi Mei, as well as the noble player 【Paper Flower】 from Amegakure, Tsunade and Asuma of Konoha, and Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha who have risen all the way despite their young age.

Saying this was to keep the old man from being arrogant and conceited.

"I naturally understand."

Onoki was not the type of stubborn person, or rather, his stubbornness only concerned whether he could lead Iwagakure to rule the ninja world.

In other matters, he was very open to advice; he was quite an interesting little old man.

Especially after personally becoming a Game Player, he could better experience the overbearing nature of the Samsara Game.

No matter how powerful his own decrepit physique was, the aging of the flesh could not be avoided.

Yet, after using the 【Reality Scroll】 to reinforce his constitution attributes, he felt a long-lost, overflowing vitality, as if he had been imbued with new life.

He had confidence.

Although he could not compare to the top-tier batch of Game Players, once the strength restrictions were lifted, dealing with the majority of Game Players would be a trivial matter.

"Finally able to show my skills, my hands are already starving and impatient!"

Raikage Ai held his hands high, his joined palms coated with extremely powerful Lightning Release chakra, continuously stabbing into the flat cliff wall.

In just half a minute,

the rock cliff wall had been poked into a large pit resembling a kiln cave by a pair of hands.

After the Cloud Hidden family was founded, Ai used a Game Invitation to become a Game Player, but when leveling up, he was killed by a passing team of rogue Game Players who stole his kill, which made him fly into a rage of incompetence.

He firmly remembered the appearances of those two Game Players,

one a shark-faced ugly freak carrying a large sword, the other a weirdo with his entire face covered under a black veil.

Just you wait!

After the restrictions are lifted and I head to the Arad Continent, if I can run into those two bastards, I will definitely make them taste the power of the strongest spear in the ninja world!

Brothers, the first stage of the Hokage arc has temporarily come to an end. Next, we begin the Pirate World. Brothers who are stockpiling the book can finish reading the Hokage arc first, ying ying ying...
