Chapter 42 Monster sieges the city
[The city wall has reached level 20 and cannot be upgraded further. You need to upgrade the novice village first. ]

A prompt pops up.

This means that the defense level of the Ninja Novice Village has reached the highest level.

Without wasting any extra bonus points, Fang Yi lay flat and used the power of the players to successfully complete the defense against the ghost mage.

"Sure enough, many hands make light work!"

Fang Yi sighed inwardly,

In reality, the news of the Five Nations' joint Chunin Exam has spread throughout the world. Peddlers and nobles alike know the news. Even the Sound Village, the Frost Village, and large city forces that are not ninja villages but have ninjas have signed up to participate.

All eyes were focused on the Hidden Leaf Village.

In the game,

The approaching attack of the Ghost Mage also touches the hearts of countless players.

Including the Ninja forces led by Kirigakure and Iwagakure, which have tasted the sweetness of success in the reincarnation game, are also ready to move and have already prepared rich logistical supplies to welcome the ghost wizard Salina.

Hidden Leaf Village.

The two senior advisors sat on the chairs, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was full of worry, and said: "The Chunin Exam is coming soon. Not only do we need to build the exam hall, but we also need to strengthen the defense barrier and garrison. The Ministry of Finance is almost unable to support it. Now we can't even pay the commission bonus."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe and frowned, "But, in the game, the ghost wizard's siege is crucial. If we withdraw our support for the Konoha troops, it will likely cause our situation in the game to become passive."

During this time,

Asuma continues to win over players within the Land of Fire, including wandering ninjas, civilians, and nobles.

The original Konoha squad has grown into a 100-man force, with Asuma as the captain-in-chief, commanding the entire army.

"Hiruzen, you are too indecisive!"

Shimura Danzo sneered and said, "Even if we give up hunting ghost mages, we still have the blood-sucking baron in the bloody wasteland. We can make up for it later."

"But the great nobles of each country will come to the Chunin Exams of the Five Nations, and the Daimyo will also come in person. If something goes wrong, can you bear the consequences of the Daimyo's wrath?"

Ninjas do not engage in production, and all funds to maintain the operation of the village, including mission commissions, need to rely on the daimyo.

The reason why Sand Village is poor is not only because of the barren land, but also because it is disliked by the daimyo, which led to the daimyo of Wind Country commissioning cross-border missions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were dry from the smoke, and he squinted and asked, "If that's the case, can we cut the salaries of the tribes first?"

"Absolutely not, Hiruzen, are you confused?"

Mitomon En's eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily: "The Ninja Clan is the foundation of Konoha. Cutting the salaries of the clans is like digging at the roots of Konoha!"

Shimura Danzo also rolled his eyes, staring at Hiruzen who dared to say such words.

In a flash,

He seemed to see Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in the Hokage's guard team and had taken the initiative to stand up and was willing to die as a rear guard, rather than the Hokage who was hunched over like a ridiculous old monkey.

Utatane Koharu said calmly, "The village gives the ninjas salaries, and the ninjas help the village resist foreign enemies. If you cut their salaries for no reason, the ninjas will not agree."

"If you insist on doing this, Hiruzen, you will be impeached."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shimura Danzo sat up slightly.

Go ahead, let's talk about impeachment. I'm not tired of this.

"In that case, I'll listen to you..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was like a ball that had finally inflated itself, but was easily burst by just a few words.

The two Hokage advisors had been away from the battlefield for too long and had no idea of ​​the terrifying power brought by the Reincarnation Game.

Danzo was obsessed with conspiracies and intrigues all day long, like a piece of wood trapped in the shackles of darkness.

Those ninjas,

Ever since the Uchiha clan was exterminated, they have all become silent and only consider the interests of their family while ignoring Konoha.

This weird atmosphere, even as a Hokage, I can't change it. If I were 20 years younger, I would definitely be able to change the current situation!

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff of his cigarette, and the smoke obscured his face.

This is the best choice,

Konoha cannot afford to experience any more turmoil, and must develop peacefully and steadily until the new generation of branches and leaves grow up.

Thinking of the new generation of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

Naruto Uzumaki has a strong will and a normal personality, but he has the violent power of the Nine-Tails sealed in his body.

There is also Rock Lee, who seems to have poor talent but has the potential to open the Eight Gates, as well as the new generation of Ino-Shika-Chou and the genius of the Hyuga branch family...

All he had to do was follow the rules and protect them until they grew up, and Konoha would be strong again.

……

Deep in the Dead Soul Mountains,

Inside a majestic black palace, an extremely strong ghostly aura was swirling like a boiling ocean.

Both the walls and the smooth floor are made of top-quality ghost rocks.

Even if you carve out something as big as your palm, you can exchange it for dozens of reward points.

"How dare a lowly human launch an attack and kill my general?"

The ghost mage Salina leaned against the soft leather cushion filled with ghostly aura, her brows tightly furrowed.

She was wearing a black robe and was tall.
Her supposedly delicate face was now covered with twisted spells like black worms, moving back and forth as her mouth opened and closed.

Down the palace steps,
Four ghost generals in armor were kneeling before them, all with respectful expressions.

They were all imperial generals who had been killed by Salina. They were transformed into ghosts by secret methods. Their life and death depended on Salina's thoughts, so they were absolutely loyal to her.

"I have ruled the Dead Soul Mountains for tens of thousands of years, but my strength is still stuck at the second level and I can't move."

"Fortunately, I accidentally came into contact with a being from hell not long ago. As long as I contribute enough sacrifices, it can grant me the power of pollution and help me break through to the second level."

"In that case, let's take the blood of these ignorant humans and sacrifice it to the great Apostles of Hell!"

"Order all the ghosts in the Dead Soul Mountains to march towards the human town that suddenly appeared!"

In an instant,
The ghosts in the Dead Soul Mountains became restless. The four ghost generals dispersed, followed by a huge ghost army. They gathered wild ghosts along the way, making the army stronger and stronger.

Ghost Cavalry, Ghost Armored Soldiers, Ghost Archers...

The huge ghost soldiers and the ghost beast army formed by various wild beasts.

Densely packed and overwhelming.

The players were caught off guard, and before they could react, they were instantly overwhelmed by violent ghosts and sent back to the Novice Village.

Whether it was the civilian players who were collecting materials or the combat players who were hunting ghosts, they were all shocked by this scene.

"Master, something terrible is happening!"

The white-haired little girl turned pale with fear and said, "The ghost wizard has sent out all the ghost troops to destroy the novice village."

Many worlds were completely destroyed by the all-out attack of pollution sources.

If the Novice Village was destroyed, all the efforts of her and her master during this period would be wasted.

Fang Yi rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "The players haven't started to work yet, don't panic."

An announcement was issued.

[The Lord-level boss Ghost Mage launches an attack on the Novice Village, starting a large-scale event [Monster Siege]]
