Chapter 42 - Chapter 41: Undercurrents Surging

"I can already smell the experience capsules; they're truly enticing."

Tsunade clasped her hands together, murmuring prayers.

Five skill pottery jars.

Even with bad luck, she should be able to get at least one experience capsule, right?

Of course, if she could get a top-tier skill, that would also be a huge gain.

She bought intermediate skill pottery jars, which had a higher chance of yielding green skills, a small chance for blue, and almost no chance for purple skills.

"Phew!"

Her fair hand reached into the pottery jar, nervously fumbling.

Under Tsunade's expectant gaze, a purple light bloomed.

Experience Capsule (Purple): Increases 500 skill experience points upon use.

"Excellent!"

Tsunade took a deep breath, clenching her fists tightly.

She hadn't expected her first pottery jar to yield a purple item, and the experience capsule she wanted, no less.

She pressed on, striking while the iron was hot.

The mysterious Game Merchant had told her that luck was like a surging tide, with high and low points.

She was currently at her peak.

Purple and blue lights flickered continuously.

The remaining four pottery jars yielded two purple items and two blue items.

Hammer of Repentance (Purple), Heavenly Blessing (Purple), Experience Capsule (Blue) * 2

At the Wall quest point,

The surrounding players were stunned, barely believing their eyes.

"Is she crazy? Purple lights kept flashing! Did she buy a top-tier pottery jar?"

"Who can afford a top-tier pottery jar for five thousand contribution points? I saw it clearly; she opened an intermediate pottery jar!"

"Wait, how could it be her?!"

"Who is she?"

Players who witnessed Tsunade winning the big prizes couldn't help but exclaim.

Among them were gambling players who frequently bought pottery jars. After seeing Tsunade's face clearly, their expressions became strange. He said, "I don't know who she is either. I heard she's a Ninja in reality and seems to be close to Konoha Hidden Village. Most importantly..."

He couldn't finish his sentence.

He often saw Tsunade squeezing under the bulletin board, spending money to take daily quests for pottery jars.

But the results were always terrible.

With low-level pottery jars that had a high chance of yielding white items, Tsunade could only pull out inferior gray materials.

With intermediate pottery jars that had a high chance of yielding green items, she could only pull out white items.

Her luck was terribly bad, almost comparable to that fat sheep who often roamed the Tanzaku Gai.

He never expected her to turn her fortunes around and get rich in one go!

The continuous flashing of blue and purple lights seemed to possess an indescribable magic, stimulating the nerves of the players present.

"I want to buy some too!"

"Quick, go find the Merchant and buy two hundred contribution points worth of wall materials!"

While ordinary players were still hesitating,

The wealthy noble players had already instructed their companions to find the Merchant and purchase materials.

Even the Merchants who resold materials were a bit stunned when they suddenly received large orders.

"What's going on? Are the Five Great Ninja Villages going to war?"

Some small Merchants who hadn't stockpiled enough materials watched as orders slipped away, stomping their feet in anxiety.

The big Merchants who had purchased warehouses were overjoyed upon receiving large orders.

Inventory space was limited.

To stockpile a large amount of materials, one needed to purchase a warehouse. A Level 1 warehouse required five thousand reward points.

Some Merchants who had purchased warehouses had doubted if they had made a bad deal, but now, with the sudden surge of material orders, they felt fortunate.

The Merchants speculated, "Is some faction cultivating life players?"

When they learned that a player with incredible luck had obtained three purple and two blue items, sparking a contribution point craze, they exchanged bewildered glances.

Even they, who were usually cautious, couldn't help but feel envious.

By their calculations, that was over a hundred thousand reward points!

No wonder it caused such a sensation.

"How could this happen?"

Tsunade's expression was not good; there was no joy after winning the big prize.

Her luck was too good...

Whenever such a situation occurred, it foreshadowed something bad happening to her.

The deaths of Rope Tree and Dan, the decline of the Senju clan...

After a long silence,

Tsunade pondered the source of the impending misfortune. Could it be the village?

Although she had long left Konoha Hidden Village and was no longer a Ninja, it was, after all, the legacy of her grandfather Hashirama and her clan. To say she had completely let go was impossible.

Leaving the game, she returned to reality.

Tsunade and her companions lived in a luxuriously decorated inn.

Since becoming a Reincarnation Game player, all their assets had been emptied and invested in the game, but they were not short of money in reality.

Selling a few materials and low-level equipment would be enough to cover the medical fees Shizune used to charge for treating nobles.

"Lady Tsunade."

Shizune, holding Tonton, returned to the inn with dinner and saw Tsunade sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Normally, Tsunade would fight in the game until dawn. Had something happened?

"Shizune, the tender chicken from this place isn't tasty."

Tsunade suddenly said, tasting the smooth and refreshing chicken.

Shizune said helplessly, "That's because Lady Tsunade, you were engrossed in the game and missed dinner. The tender chicken won't be tasty after sitting out for too long!"

"Yes, food shouldn't be out of the pot for too long, and neither should people."

Tsunade ate the last piece of tender chicken and sighed, "Shizune, let's go back to Konoha. I'm starting to miss the village's sake."

...

Land of Earth, Iwagakure.

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, sat solemnly at the head of the council hall.

On the two rows of seats below him sat all of the village's high-ranking officials, including clan heads and elite Jonin with exceptional strength.

Everyone looked towards the head seat with tension and a hint of anticipation.

The short old man before them, with a samurai topknot inherited from the Warring States Period, was unremarkable in appearance and had a rather comical-looking, large, rosy nose.

But everyone looked at him with admiration.

This warrior, who had the longest tenure and had experienced both the chaotic era of war and the Ninja Village era, possessed terrifying power that surpassed even Kekkei Tota.

A hero who had personally trained countless Iwagakure elite Ninjas and ushered in Iwagakure's golden age, he still possessed admirable ambition despite his aging body.

Ōnoki slowly began, "Have you made contact with Cloud Hidden?"

Sitting at the end, a Ninja with a resolute face, Kitsuchi, nodded, "I have already spoken with the Fourth Raikage's secretary. He conveyed the Raikage's decision: he is willing to ally with us to test Konoha Hidden Village."

He was a player chosen by the Reincarnation Game, a Level 13 Monk following a defensive build.

In reality, he possessed powerful Earth Release Ninja Art capable of tearing the earth apart.

Combining the two, he had already stepped into the ranks of the Kage, and even his father, Ōnoki, would find it difficult to suppress him.

"What about Kirigakure and Sunagakure?"

Ōnoki nodded; Cloud Hidden's agreement was within his expectations.

Those muscle-brained combatants must have long been eager to move against Konoha.

At the far end, a Ninja wearing a red undershirt and a yellow vest spoke, "Kirigakure has not made a statement."

"Sunagakure's attitude is strange; there seems to be a division among the higher-ups, but they also have the idea of testing Konoha."

He was Bunta, a Jonin personally trained by Ōnoki.

He was also the player who had spent a large amount of Iwagakure's funds to exchange for Wood Release, and his strength was no less than Kitsuchi's.

"Akatsuchi, lead your Ninja forces to stand by at the Land of Lightning border. If they make any unusual moves, you are permitted to take the initiative."

"Han, you will lead the surprise attack unit and be stationed at the secret outpost on the Land of Wind border..."

Ōnoki's expression was resolute as he made his decisions without hesitation.

The two newly emerged Kage-level powerhouses were his confidence in daring to test Konoha Hidden Village.

Leading Iwagakure towards its golden age, this was his ambition.

What did it matter if he was reviled by enemy Ninjas and condemned by nobles?

This was... my Ōnoki's Will of Stone!
