My physique is getting stronger!
Anma Yakumo couldn't believe it, clenching her fists tightly, feeling the continuous surge of power.
Saying 'continuous surge' might be an exaggeration.
But after eating this candy, her inherently weak physical condition genuinely improved.
She was certain this wasn't an illusion.
Or rather, she was confident that no one could play illusions on her, not even the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan was good enough.
"Who are you? Do you have any more of that candy?"
Anma Yakumo knew her question was impolite, but she couldn't help but ask.
Because she dreamed of becoming a ninja.
But due to her poor physical condition, she couldn't train at all, much less complete ninja missions, and was forced to drop out of the Ninja School.
In her heart, all subsequent misfortunes were inextricably linked to her inability to become a ninja.
If she could become a ninja, no misfortune would have occurred.
Becoming a ninja was already an obsession in her heart, the same kind of obsession as wanting revenge on Wood Leaf Village.
"My name is Fang Yi, and I am a Merchant who sells the Reincarnation Game."
Looking at the 'leek' who had already taken the bait, Fang Yi's smile remained unchanged as he explained, "It's not candy, it's a Blood Qi Pill from the Otherworld, which has the effect of strengthening the body."
It sells for fifty reward points.
Using fifty reward points to harvest a 'leek' with golden potential was a very cost-effective deal; he would extract more from her later.
A piece of information about the Reincarnation Game was thrown into the girl's mind.
"This is too hard to believe."
As a member of the Anma Clan, known for their powerful spiritual energy, although they were a small family in Wood Leaf Village now, they had once been glorious.
They possessed a rich heritage.
Such a thing had never been heard of in the family's surviving scrolls.
There was no need for much explanation; Fang Yi just smiled and said, "Regardless of whether it's true or false, since there's something that interests you, what's the harm in trying?"
These words resonated with Anma Yakumo.
No matter what, the effect brought by that candy... Blood Qi Pill was real, and she simply couldn't resist it.
A black envelope was handed to her.
Anma Yakumo took the envelope but didn't open it immediately. Instead, she said worriedly, "You entered the village as a noble. If you contact me rashly, the Third Hokage will cause trouble for you. It's better to find a safe place."
Whether commoners or ninjas, most people in Wood Leaf Village wouldn't use the full title 'Third Hokage' when referring to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Only Anma Yakumo, with the unvented hatred in her heart, would do so.
"It's fine, I've already greeted the Hokage; he won't mind."
Fang Yi indicated it was no problem, and with a familiar ease, he helped her put away her easel and stand, then said, "Let's go. Since you don't want to start the game right now, for the sake of half a Blood Qi Pill, be my guide and show me around the village."
Anma Yakumo was stunned and asked, "Is this kind of thing allowed too?"
"That's right."
Fang Yi smiled and nodded.
He indeed needed a guide, because the real Wood Leaf Village was very large, with more and denser buildings than in the anime.
Furthermore, he wanted to show the Hokage his intention of coming to Wood Leaf Village was to recruit high-quality players.
Of course, it was just to show his attitude; as for whether the other party agreed or not, Fang Yi didn't care.
"Then, let's go to the commercial street first."
After all, she was a young girl, and after being confined for so long, she really wanted to go to a lively place.
With that, Anma Yakumo glanced at Fang Yi with trepidation, fearing she would be rejected.
"Let's go."
A moment later, the two appeared in the center of the commercial street.
Anma Yakumo sat inside the ramen shop, pulling out two crumpled advertising coupons from her pocket. They were old coupons from Ichiraku Ramen's promotional event two years ago.
"Can these two still be used?"
When it didn't involve hatred, Anma Yakumo was an introverted girl, and she asked nervously, somewhat haltingly.
Teuchi, with his squinting eyes, took the ramen coupons, frowned slightly at first, then relaxed, saying, "Of course you can. I didn't expect a customer to have kept our ramen coupons for two years. Thank you very much."
An Anbu member, hidden behind a utility pole, quickly returned to the Hokage Building to report the situation.
"Anma Yakumo?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, puffing on his pipe, said with a headache, "I heard Tsunade say that if the Game Merchant takes an interest in someone, he will actively invite them to become a player. It seems Anma Yakumo has been chosen by the Game Merchant."
This was a bit problematic.
Anma Yakumo's situation was very complex; her heart was full of resentment towards the village and the Hokage. Yuhi Kurenai hadn't resolved her emotional knot yet. Once she became a player and gained powerful abilities, she would be different from ordinary ninjas.
The Anbu member remained silent, awaiting the Hokage's orders.
"Send Yuhi Kurenai to subtly persuade Anma Yakumo not to open the envelope for now. Remember, this must be done without angering the Game Merchant."
After a brief moment of closed-eyed contemplation, Sarutobi Hiruzen issued the command.
Tsunade had returned to the village not long ago. Although she had no immediate plans to be a ninja and spent her days in the old Senju family residence fiddling with antiques to sell for money, she had revealed some information about the game.
The invitation letter given by the Game Merchant needed to be opened before one could become a player.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to offend the Game Merchant, so he certainly couldn't refuse his game invitation. But if Anma Yakumo could be persuaded not to open the envelope for now, he thought the Game Merchant would give him this much face.
He would let her become a player after the conflict between Anma Yakumo and the village was resolved.
Recalling the Anma Clan's Kekkei Genkai, even Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a chill. If it weren't for the Anma Clan's sparse population, unable to compare with large clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga, they would definitely be a family that surpassed Ino-Shika-Cho and was beyond the Hokage's control.
After careful thought,
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly. He had already reminded the Anbu not to provoke the Game Merchant, and all registered ninjas would receive the order.
As for the foreign ninjas participating in the Chunin Exams, he, with a dark sense of humor, did not warn them. He even secretly hoped they would clash with the Game Merchant to test the Game Merchant's strength.
There should be no mistakes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought, but he always felt as if he had forgotten something very important, and his heart felt somewhat empty.
"If I participate in the trial, can I get a profession that matches my soul?"
Anma Yakumo ate her ramen, a thoughtful expression on her face.
Five thousand reward points.
She could certainly get that amount from the Anma family's inheritance, but it would be a significant strain, so she had to consider it carefully.
"That's right. You wouldn't want to have almost infinite Chakra, but instead of being a mage, you foolishly choose to be a shield warrior and fight in close combat, would you?"
"Huh, Merchant Uncle, you're in Wood Leaf Village now?"
No sooner had he spoken than the person in question arrived.
Fang Yi turned his head and saw Hatake Kakashi, with Naruto Uzumaki, a black-haired boy, and a pink-haired girl, entering the ramen shop.
It was Naruto Uzumaki, full of curiosity, who spoke. He was one of the first game players, so he had naturally seen Fang Yi in the Newbie Village.
Close behind them were Yuhi Kurenai, who had received orders from the Hokage, and the Wood Leaf Village's General Commander, Sarutobi Asuma, who had followed out of concern.
