Half a day later.
Wave Country Shipping Company pledged to ally with Hidden Mist Village, maintaining permanent friendship.
All factories, cargo ships, and port docks were taken over by Kirigakure.
At the same time,
Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Konoha Empire, among other forces, recalled all their spies in Wave Country, no longer continuing their infiltration work.
Akatsuki suffered heavy losses with two Kage-level rogue ninja dead, severely weakening them.
Normally, forces that harmed Akatsuki would face their 瘋狂 retaliation, but Kakuzu and Hidan, who died in Wave Country, seemed to be intentionally forgotten, with Akatsuki making no moves.
Wood Leaf Family territory,
The material workshop, after its completion, exposed brass gears and iron hinges on its exterior walls, with a hammer-shaped sign in the center.
The interior space was large but very empty.
A heart-shaped brass machine could be used to synthesize high-quality hearts.
Tsunade stood nervously in front of the machine, about to throw the prepared adhesive and low-quality hearts into it.
"Grandma Gangshou!"
Naruto Uzumaki noticed the abnormality and quickly ran over, snatching the materials away.
Tsunade, caught in the act, pouted.
Asuma said helplessly, "Tsunade-sama, your luck is indeed a bit... bad. It's better to let Naruto do this kind of thing."
He had long heard the rumors of Tsunade being called a 'big fat sheep' in the casino, and he didn't expect her bad luck to remain unchanged even in the game.
"Purple hearts are quite expensive. I still have four blue hearts here. If you don't mind, you can try them."
Asuma pulled out the hearts he hadn't even warmed up yet and handed them to Tsunade.
Looking at the faintly glowing [Heart Synthesis Machine], he felt mentally exhausted.
Just building the material workshop had consumed all the output of a 幽魂 rock mine, and subsequent purchases of adhesive and low-level hearts had completely drained their accumulated funds.
The result?
Synthesizing hearts was not as simple as imagined!
The initial success rate was very low, and to increase the success rate, the [Heart Synthesis Machine] needed to be upgraded.
Although the Game Merchant opened up low-level materials and synthesis functions, giving players a chance to compete for the First Family, they didn't consider families with insufficient funds.
Just the materials to upgrade the synthesis machine required thousands of reward points.
Asuma gritted his teeth and sold a purple equipment, then tried to upgrade, finding that the success rate indeed increased by two percent.
Subsequent upgrades required even more materials... After much consideration, Asuma could only choose to give up.
He simply couldn't compete.
Even Naruto Uzumaki, who had the physique of a lottery ticket harvester, couldn't succeed every time; there were also times when he failed repeatedly.
Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but complain in the Ninja channel.
"The Wood Leaf Family is clearly the strongest, so does considering the strongest family only depend on who is richer? That's too shallow..."
As a result, he was caught by the Game Merchant, who replied, "The strongest family is certainly not necessarily the richest family, but a family that can't even gather money is definitely not the strongest."
"Experts have plenty of ways to make money. How can a family without money dare to call itself the strongest?"
The usually eloquent Wood Leaf prankster was left speechless by this remark.
He was depressed for a long time.
Watching the materials fall into Tsunade's palm, Naruto Uzumaki widened his eyes and asked, "Captain Asuma, are these four blue hearts going to be wasted for nothing?"
That attitude, implying that giving them to Grandma Gangshou was equivalent to throwing them away, caused Tsunade to say angrily, "You brat, do you want to die?"
"It's fine."
Asuma sighed, having already given up on snatching the family emblem (fixed).
Every time they obtained a silver heart to expand their family territory, they could not only see their own family but also the expansion progress of other families.
The strongest was the Dawn Family, having invested a full eighty silver hearts.
Next was Kirigakure, closely following, having invested seventy-four silver hearts.
Then came the Konoha Empire and Sunagakure.
Orochimaru opened the national treasury, personally paying to purchase tickets to invite players to clear the dungeon. Besides heart materials and adhesive, everything else went to the players, immediately attracting countless Wandering Ninja and civilian players.
But starting too late, they still couldn't surpass Dawn and Kirigakure.
Sand Hidden Village,
Rasa plunged his hands into the soft yellow sand, activating his Magnet Release, continuously erupting Chakra that permeated the desert.
Large areas of the desert undulated like a yellow ocean, and grains of glittering gold dust gradually separated from the yellow sand, flowing like water towards the tents where Sand Ninja were stationed.
The Sand Ninja, who had already prepared, pulled out cloth bags and sealed the openings after the gold dust flowed in.
"Father, that's enough for today. Don't consume any more Chakra. If you continue to overdraw your physical and spiritual energy like this, your body will have side effects."
"Although you have energy-recovering defensive gear, it's still low-level equipment and simply cannot support your level of Magnet Release consumption."
Temari showed a worried expression.
The impoverished Sand Hidden Village could suppress Konoha and Iwagakure precisely because of Rasa's desperate efforts, constantly digging for gold dust.
For this reason,
Kankuro spent tens of thousands of reward points to hire blacksmith players from the Land of Iron to forge a Chakra-recovering defensive gear set for Rasa.
There was no other way. Although families received two game invitation letters each month after being founded,
However, the illustrious Kazekage's game level was only [5], and level 5 equipment offered very limited enhancement to a Kage-level ninja, so he had to spend heavily to purchase [real-world equipment].
"It's nothing."
Although Rasa was tired, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
As long as he could change the current situation of Sand Hidden Village, no matter how tired he was, he, the Kazekage, would have no regrets.
On the Scarlet Wasteland, Dawn Family territory,
Gusts of wind, mixed with the smell of blood, battered the Dawn Family's city walls.
"Patriarch, there are still some reward points remaining. Do we need to upgrade the city walls?"
"Not for now."
There was still half a day until they became the First Family and received the special reward.
Although Kirigakure was catching up with all its might, the gap of seven silver hearts could not be obtained in a short time, unless they were willing to go all out and synthesize frantically at the last moment, which might give them a sliver of a chance.
However, the Dawn Family had members specifically monitoring the family expansion ranking. Once the Mist Hidden Family invested a silver heart, the Dawn Family would immediately add one to maintain a safe distance.
The outcome was decided.
Just then, a family member rushed over, reporting with a serious expression, "Patriarch, we just discovered some unfamiliar players lingering near the family territory. Although they have been dispersed, it feels a bit off."
Konan's brows slightly furrowed, and she asked, "Players from Dead Soul Mountain Range?"
Although they were all players from Ninja Newbie Village,
However, players from Scarlet Wasteland and Dead Soul Mountain Range both had their fixed hunting grounds and wouldn't wander around for no reason.
"I'm not sure."
The family member also couldn't figure it out.
Konan nodded slightly, assuming that some players had a sudden idea and wanted to switch hunting grounds.
But soon, two more family members rushed over, saying that players were gathering near the family territory. This time, they recognized some familiar faces: players from the Mist Hidden Family.
"Kirigakure?"
Konan's heart sank.
Paper wings grew from her back, marked with winding red patterns, containing the power of wind within, which could increase flight and movement speed.
She suspected that Kirigakure, unable to gather enough silver hearts, intended to directly attack the Dawn Family.
After all,
The first rule of the Reincarnation Game's family content stated that if the family monument was destroyed, the family would automatically disband.
