Naruto entered the Ninja Zone of the virtual game.
Here, he saw various clans, as well as small circles and groups, establishing all sorts of guilds.
He also witnessed scenes of these guilds competing for Wild Bosses, and even guild wars.
This gave Naruto a feeling of returning to an online game, and he found it very interesting.
Actually, the one who found it most interesting wasn't Naruto, but the elders of various Ninja clans who were no longer able to fight.
These elders had generally participated in the First and Second Great Ninja Wars, and some had even witnessed the establishment of the Ninja Village and the wars of the former Sengoku period when they were young.
The elders were all old and didn't have many years left to live, but Ninjas are Ninjas after all; their wish was not actually to enjoy their twilight years.
Naturally, they weren't hoping for war, but simply felt that a Ninja should die in battle, not in a sickbed.
The emergence of the virtual helmet gave them a new rebirth.
They wanted to make their mark in the virtual world during these last few years, emulating the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, to create a new era in the virtual world—an era that belonged to them.
Whether it was guild wars, snatching Wild Bosses, or even vying for ruins, the ones leading the charge were these old people who hadn't walked the streets of Konoha for many years.
Naruto and Grey Wolf naturally noticed this as well.
So Naruto wondered if there was any way to transfer human souls and consciousness into the virtual world.
This way, even if the physical body died, the soul could still survive in the virtual world.
Grey Wolf knew Naruto's idea and conducted some research; it was indeed possible, but not in the Ninja World, because after people die in the Ninja World, their souls and consciousness go to the Pure Land.
If they did that, it would be akin to competing with the Pure Land for souls, and Grey Wolf didn't know what the specific consequences of that would be.
However, Naruto knew that not being able to do it was only temporary; if one day a King of Hell or something came out of that cage... conquering the Pure Land of the Ninja World would be effortless, wouldn't it?
Even establishing a Netherworld Six Paths of Reincarnation system wouldn't be difficult.
If a Netherworld Six Paths of Reincarnation model could truly be established, then people like Uchiha Madara, who could cause trouble even after dying, would no longer exist.
Naturally, all of this would depend on the future.
Naruto walked around the Ninja Zone and found that the people of Konoha quickly accepted the virtual game and also began to try social activities in the virtual world.
Just as Naruto arrived at a desolate area, a huge, expressionless figure appeared out of thin air.
"What the hell? A Wild Boss?"
Naruto didn't expect to be so lucky, encountering a Wild Boss as soon as he arrived here.
Wild Bosses are considered one of the important resources in the entire game.
They can not only produce some materials, but most importantly, some Wild Bosses drop certain sub-professions.
Such as Blacksmith, Puppeteer, Yakushi, Architect, Tailor.
Various sub-professions can be said to be the foundation of every guild's construction. Naturally, these Wild Bosses have also become the target of all guilds.
Some even lead to a war between several guilds over the ownership of a single Wild Boss.
The Wild Boss that appeared before Naruto's eyes was named manipulator.
Its image was that of a puppet, with a wooden frame on its head, and threads connected from around the frame to the puppet's limbs.
"The Wild Boss Grey Wolf created is quite creative!"
As he spoke, Naruto began to check the manipulator's information and the items it might drop.
As long as a Wild Boss has appeared and been defeated, its information will appear in the Boss Compendium, making it very convenient to check.
There's no need to mention the equipment and Ninjutsu that drop; these things aren't actually that valuable for a Wild Boss.
The most valuable and special items are still sub-professions, special professions, or Bloodline Limits.
And the sub-professions that the manipulator can drop are Puppet Maker and the special profession Puppeteer.
Puppet Maker: Can create NPCs with consciousness and thought.
Puppeteer: Can master the knowledge of controlling and creating puppets.
Actually, this Wild Boss was the one the Third Hokage, Danzo, and other Konoha higher-ups most wanted to defeat.
The reason was simple: the Puppeteer profession could be considered the signature of the Land of Wind's Hidden Sand Village, and it had caused quite a bit of trouble for Konoha in wars.
Both the Third Hokage and Danzo had discovered that Ninjutsu and Taijutsu created in the virtual world could actually be used in reality, as long as one was willing to study them.
Naturally, this Puppeteer sub-profession caught their eye.
However, up until now, the only one who had successfully defeated the manipulator Wild Boss was Uchiha Fugaku of the Uchiha Clan.
And Uchiha Fugaku would certainly not share what he obtained in the game.
The Third Hokage and Danzo would not force him; after all, there were still plenty of Wild Bosses, so they just had to wait for the manipulator to appear again.
The appearance of the Wild Boss quickly drew many people from the surroundings.
Those with guilds immediately contacted their guilds, while those without guilds began to look for some solo players to form a team.
Although the chances of solo players defeating a Wild Boss were very small, they should at least try, shouldn't they?
In less than fifteen minutes, nearly fifty or sixty people had gathered towards the area.
Seeing this, Naruto immediately withdrew from the crowd, intending to find a place to watch the excitement.
After all, it was his first time seeing such a scene of competing for a Wild Boss.
The first guild to arrive was not the Third Hokage's or Danzo's guild, but the guild established jointly by Ino–Shika–Chō: [Ino–Shika–Chō Alliance].
Ino–Shika–Chō was different from Danzo; they didn't name their guild a Ninja Village. Although it was a virtual world, naming it a Ninja Village would be too much of a challenge to the Third Hokage.
After Ino–Shika–Chō came [Uchiha], led by Uchiha Fugaku.
That's right, the guild Uchiha Fugaku established was simply called [Uchiha].
Subsequently, [Hyuga Clan] established by Hyuga Hiashi and guilds established by other large and small Konoha clans also arrived one after another.
Finally, the main attractions were [Will of Fire Ninja Village] and [Root Ninja Village].
After all the guilds had arrived, an atmosphere of intense confrontation immediately permeated the air.
