Chapter 75: Kurama Yakumo

The Branch House girl and Izumo Kamizuki quickly rushed toward the Hokage Building.

Although there is no explicit regulation, except for the Anbu, ninjas do not release chakra without restraint within the village during non-mission periods, which would be like monkeys leaping up and down.

After all, besides ninjas, there are many civilians, and doing so would disrupt order.

This counts as an implicit rule, which is why the behavior of Uzumaki Naruto jumping around everywhere and painting graffiti on the Hokage Rock was reprimanded by Iruka.

At this moment,

The two crossed roof ridges one after another, arriving at the Hokage Building at top speed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was overwhelmed by the affairs of the Chunin Exams; seeing the two, he put down the files in his hand in confusion and asked, "It's you two, is something the matter?"

"Lord Hokage, it seems the Game Merchant has entered the village."

The Branch House girl knelt on one knee, reporting the situation to Hiruzen Sarutobi with a serious expression.

"Chunin Kamizuki, can you still recall his appearance?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyelids suddenly widened, and even the mouth holding his pipe twitched involuntarily.

Izumo Kamizuki was stunned and began to think carefully.

Immediately, he discovered that although he had just been in contact with him, he could not recall the other party's appearance now, as if it were blocked by a layer of mist.

The more he tried to think about it carefully, the less he could remember.

Seeing his conflicted expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi said helplessly, "Do not force yourself; this may be the other party's Genjutsu."

Just as he was speaking,

The crystal ball placed on the desk used for releasing the Telescope Technique suddenly lit up on its own.

A young-looking Noble man was walking down the street; he raised his head slightly and flashed a polite smile at the Observers in the Hokage office building.

"Respected Mr. Hokage, I am very interested in the Chunin Exams, so I came to your village to enjoy the exams; please forgive my intrusion."

The crystal ball returned to its original state.

In an instant, four Anbu wearing animal masks appeared, one of whom shook his head at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "No chakra fluctuations were felt."

Within Hiruzen Sarutobi's cloudy eyes, an emotion of wariness was revealed.

The Telescope Technique.

It can only be activated in one direction, and it requires grasping the Observer's chakra aura.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very certain that he had never seen the other party, let alone left any chakra aura for him.

Yet this mysterious Game Merchant was able to break the conventions of Ninjutsu, activate Ninjutsu in reverse, and transmit a message to him just as Izumo Kamizuki and the others rushed over to report.

This kind of method,

Had no terrifying energy explosion capable of destroying the world, but it was mind-boggling.

Fortunately, the Game Merchant expressed sufficient goodwill, allowing Hiruzen Sarutobi to relax slightly; he said, "Our Konoha village has always loved peace; no matter who it is, as long as they do not endanger the safety of Konoha, they are honored guests. You two return to your posts; there is no need to take it too much to heart."

The Game Merchant, who stirs up the winds and clouds of the ninja world with all sorts of incredible methods, certainly cannot be treated as an enemy.

If possible, he would even like to win the other party over; although he knew this possibility was slim, he could try, at the very least to show the goodwill of Konoha village.

"Tell all Konoha ninjas that they must absolutely not clash with the Noble lord who has come to the village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi issued this order.

He could not directly make the Game Merchant's identity public, but since the other party entered the village with the status of a Noble, he only needed to let the ninjas avoid the Noble.

On the other side,

On a remote and quiet street, Kurama Yakumo sat quietly on a stool, with a drawing board placed in front of her.

Her face was delicate, revealing a sense of quietude.

Her fingers gripped the paintbrush, tracing the entire scenery of the street onto the drawing board; even the pedestrians passing by in a hurry were drawn vividly.

But for some reason,

A Noble man sitting leisurely on the side of the street was someone she could not draw no matter what.

Despite possessing superb painting skills, every time she put the brush down, it was as if she were a novice who had never touched the art of painting, not knowing how to move the brush.

It was as if that Noble man did not belong to this world, wandering outside the rules and impossible to depict.

This strange feeling made her extremely irritable.

"Damn it, what exactly is going on?"

Kurama Yakumo grabbed her hair in frustration, then waved her palm, and a stroke landed in the center of the drawing board.

Crack!

Thunder suddenly roared in the sky, and a blinding flash of lightning bloomed out of thin air, landing in the center of the street.

This Weirdness caused the unsuspecting passersby to flee one after another.

"I've caused you trouble, I'm very sorry."

Fang Yi wore a smile, looked at the highly guarded Kurama Yakumo, and took a beautifully packaged candy out of his pocket.

Snap.

The candy was broken open, and half of it was handed to the delicate girl.

Kurama Yakumo looked left and right, revealing a look of surprise; someone was actually able to approach her.

Could it be that the ninja caregivers guarding her were all dozing off?

She lowered her head and looked at the half-piece of candy in Fang Yi's hand.

Do not eat candy from strangers.

This is a principle even a three-year-old child knows, especially the person in front of her, whose attire and appearance were clearly not from the village.

But for some reason,

"Thank you."

Kurama Yakumo took the candy and stuffed it into her mouth without the slightest hesitation.

She did this on purpose,

as a way of rebelling against Konoha.

She hated Konoha, hated the Hokage, and hated Yuhi Kurenai who kept her under house arrest; as long as it was something that could make them feel dissatisfied, she would do it even if she knew it was wrong.

"Kurama Yakumo."

A smile tugged at the corners of Fang Yi's mouth; he hadn't expected to find an unexpected joy while strolling, and he said: "A Bloodline Awakening of the Kurama Clan, but because her body is weak, she cannot become a ninja and can only be a painter."

【Kurama Yakumo (Gold)】: Possesses extremely strong spiritual power and the talent to turn the illusory into reality.

Gold Potential.

Konoha is indeed a cradle for nurturing geniuses; not only does it possess various secret technique clans, but it even has records of such a Kekkei Genkai that can turn the illusory into reality.

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Kurama Yakumo did not get angry, but calmly said: "Strange Noble, did you come before me just to say these things?"

He approached her inexplicably and was even able to make the caregiver who monitored her twenty-four hours a day disappear.

It was naturally within reason that the person before her could speak of her identity.

Fang Yi's smile was gentle as he said: "You are very suitable to become a player."

Only when one lacks sufficient bargaining chips does one need various rhetoric and roundabout ways.

As the master of the Samsara Game, he only needed to present sufficient bargaining chips and then extend an invitation straightforwardly.

"Player?"

Kurama Yakumo revealed a look of confusion.

She was kept under house arrest in the manor and rarely came into contact with news related to ninjas, so she had no idea about the Samsara Game that had already caused such a stir.

She had just wanted to ask a question when she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"This is..."

Kurama Yakumo's eyes widened abruptly, like a startled little rabbit.

The candy she had just swallowed felt like a scorching fireball.

Waves of warm, overbearing energy continuously surged from her stomach into her limbs and bones, and the consumption from the lightning strike just now was instantly replenished.

Her chakra volume was slowly increasing!

The Kurama Clan Kekkei Genkai she had Awakened possessed a perception far keener than that of ordinary people.

She could clearly feel that the reason her chakra volume was increasing

was because the activity of the cells within her naturally weak body was strengthening at a speed visible to the naked eye!
