Chapter 381: Emergency Meeting of Various Factions, Game Village!

"Just do what you can, Hinaki Rina."

Aizen's gentle smile infected those around him as he said, "Even if you cannot become my adjutant, we are still good partners, friends to whom we can entrust our lives."

"However, since you have made the decision to become a ninja, you must bear the changes that may appear in the future."

"Are you truly prepared, Rina?"

This final inquiry, dropping the surname, was already a very intimate way of speaking.

Hinaki Rina felt her whole body heat up, her blood flowing rapidly, and she excitedly promised, "Yes, Lord Aizen, I am already prepared to bear any change, as long as I can become your adjutant!"

"Since that is the case, then do your best, Rina!"

Leaving behind these words and the pairs of reverent gazes on both sides of the street, Aizen stood up and walked toward the Hokage Building.

The title of Konoha Moonlight also began to gradually circulate among the commoners and ninjas of Konohagakure.

Hokage Building, inside the conference hall.

Aizen took out a bright silver pocket watch, watched the hand move exactly to the hour, and sat down gently.

The high-ranking members of the Ninja Clans present, as well as Asuma and others from the Mobile Unit, and Shimura Danzo, who was wearing a monkey skin at the head, had all already taken their seats.

"Everyone, I am truly sorry; some matters on the road delayed my time."

Even though he was not late, Aizen still apologized to everyone.

Asuma's expression remained as usual as he pointedly said, "How rare. In the history of the ninja world, ninjas who have obtained titles during non-war periods are few and far between. Mr. Aizen truly possesses powerful charisma."

The title of Konoha Moonlight had already reached Asuma's ears within just a few minutes on the road Aizen took.

This was Asuma showing off his muscles to Aizen, revealing the intelligence capabilities of the Mobile Unit.

Every time he saw Aizen,

Asuma had a very unfathomable feeling, his heart heavy.

It was as if a vicious wolf in sheep's clothing had mixed into a flock of herbivorous sheep, potentially erupting with unpredictable danger at any moment.

However,

After a thorough investigation, not a single flaw was found.

Each resume was so moving that even Tsunade was deeply touched, as if seeing the true practitioner and embodiment of the Will of Fire.

Even the Shodai Hokage who founded Konohagakure, his own grandfather, despite having powerful strength, had not achieved a Will of Fire like Aizen's.

Such a perfect person,

yet he gave Asuma an uncontrollable sense of danger; what exactly was going on?

Sometimes, he even repeatedly doubted whether it was because the other party was too perfect that he felt jealousy from the bottom of his heart.

However, as the Leader of the Mobile Unit, he could not do certain things based on his personal emotions and judgments.

Even if Aizen were truly a perfect person, as someone from the Hokage faction, Asuma should suppress him for both reason and sentiment.

Especially since Asuma had recently investigated some things that were not quite right;

his own father, the current chief Sandaime Hokage, might very well have been taken advantage of by a Pollution Monster and had his mind bewitched while fighting the Evil God.

The sudden change in temperament during this period was good evidence.

Asuma had already dispatched players from the Mobile Unit

to investigate the location where the Evil God's head fell; any clues would be reported back, and once a problem was found, even if it were his own biological father, Asuma would strike without hesitation for the sake of Konohagakure.

"I did not deliberately seek anything; I simply helped everyone from the bottom of my heart and promoted the Will of Fire, that is all."

Aizen's answer was standard and proper, seemingly wanting to maintain the harmony of the high-level meeting and not wanting to have a direct conflict with Asuma.

Conversely, Asuma became the aggressive one.

"Well said!" Shimura Danzo, wearing the monkey skin, curled his lips and said pointedly, "Aizen is practicing my will. The Shadow Organization and the Root Organization spare no effort to rescue the people and promote the Will of Fire, but what about you?"

"Deceiving and double-crossing each other!"

"At a moment of life and death for the village, you still think about taking benefits back from the contributed Reward Points. Where is your Will of Fire?"

In the past, even if the Hokage said such things, he would have been attacked by the group.

But now, Aizen's selfless Will of Fire was seen by even the commoners; at such a time, arguing with the Hokage over Reward Points again,

compared to Aizen, would undoubtedly lose the hearts of the people.

However,

the dissatisfied emotions were bound to be unalleviated. Hyuga Hizashi's expression was cold as he said, "Lord Hokage, you certainly have a big mouth. What Mr. Aizen has done is indeed the Will of Fire—building bridges and paving roads, caring for the commoners. We Ninja Clans can also do these things, and we are doing them, but..."

He did not say the following words directly.

But every Clan Head clearly understood, and Danzou also understood very clearly.

The millions of Reward Points pooled together by the various Ninja Clans were not a small amount; they would rather send the juniors in their clans to imitate Aizen than give up the millions of Reward Points.

"This matter shall be discussed later."

Danzou was not as indecisive as the monkey; having occupied the absolute advantage, he still had to consider the emotions of the Ninja Clans.

Borrowing Aizen's powerful political means, he, who had already won over most of the commoner ninjas and players in the village, was the most powerful force.

If any Ninja Clan dared to bristle, one could think of the fate of the Uchiha Clan back then.

He had not completely torn off the mask; he just did not want the Ninja Clans to unite. These mobs, as long as he left a sliver of room, could never be completely united.

Danzou said with a serious expression, "What we need to discuss now is the latest announcement issued by the game merchant: Game Village."

Having made a mistake once before, by turning a blind eye to the appearance of the Samsara Game, it led to Konoha being broken through by the Four Great Ninja Villages, and the Hokage was also framed by Orochimaru, falling into the state he was in now.

With the lesson from the past, Danzou attached particular importance to the 【Pet System】 and 【Game Village】 announcements.

"The contributions you have all made to the village, this Hokage keeps them all in mind and will never forget them!"

The 【Shadow Organization】 was the apple of Danzou's eye, so naturally, he could not send them out to lead the charge. This was also the reason he did not speak too absolutely. Danzou said, "The game announcement says it very clearly: the level of the Game Village is equivalent to the Safe Area in the game."

The so-called Safe Area refers to the major towns.

They will not be attacked by Pollution Monsters, and the City Lord can freely control all the rules within that area.

It is exactly the same as the real world.

It is far from being like the Family Territory, which is bound as if by iron chains, where any action requires the payment of Reward Points.

Once the Game Village is built, policies can be introduced to recruit refugees and slaves from that world, and one can issue missions to villagers, build freely, raise livestock freely, farm freely, and multiply freely.

It will produce a large amount of Reward Points and unique resources at all times.

If the Family Territory is stagnant water,

then the 【Game Village】 is the water source; it is the entry ticket permitted by the rules of the Samsara Game for player factions to step out of their own world and extend their reach into other worlds.

"Gentlemen, if we can successfully pioneer and create 【Konohagakure】 in another world, even if the Shodai Hokage were to be resurrected, it would be difficult for him to rival our achievements!"

First, dangle the carrot.

Danzou's words struck the hearts of the Ninja Village high-ranking officials like a heavy hammer; even though they knew it was just a carrot, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva—there was no helping it, it was simply too tempting.

The reputation of the Shodai Hokage is already loud enough; the Ninja Clans present would originally only be like the masses in history, brushed over by history books in a single stroke, in a few simple lines, or even just a few words.

But if they build a village in another world, just as Danzou said, it would definitely be enough to leave their names in history.

History books would have to open a separate page for them.

This kind of temptation is huge and irresistible to the Ninja Clans.
