"Game Invitation?"
Butterfly Shinobu exclaimed softly.
Even now, including the Master, the number of Demon Slayer Corps members chosen by a game invitation could be counted on one hand.
This Reincarnation Game, which grants players the qualification for life and allows them to fulfill their wishes by continuously hunting monsters, seemed to have certain conditions when issuing game invitations.
Based on the commonalities among Demon Slayer Corps players, it was highly likely related to willpower.
One must possess a strong and pure belief to be chosen by the Reincarnation Game.
"Is my will to kill demons not strong enough?"
Butterfly Shinobu wondered in her heart.
She believed her resolve to kill demons was second to none among Demon Slayer Corps players, yet she had not received an invitation to the Reincarnation Game.
"Sister Butterfly Shinobu?"
Kunie looked at the dazed Butterfly Shinobu, her face full of tension and confusion.
The appearance of this Reincarnation Game invitation was too strange.
Claymore Island was different from the Demon Slayer Continent.
There were no Blood Demon Arts similar to superpowers; both Claymore and demons were power users leaning towards flesh and blood mutations, but such bizarre scenes had never been witnessed.
"You're very lucky, Little Sister Kunie."
Butterfly Shinobu said enviously, "This is an opportunity to change your destiny; any wish can be fulfilled."
She told Kunie all the information about the Reincarnation Game.
"Even resurrection is possible?"
At first, Kunie thought Butterfly Shinobu was joking.
But meeting Butterfly Shinobu's serious expression, and after a brief interaction, realizing her new sister wasn't one to joke, her heart stirred slightly.
"That's right, Kunie must have some regrets she wants to revive, right?"
Butterfly Shinobu took a deep breath, gently stroking Kunie's head, standing on her tiptoes.
She could feel the lingering sadness beneath Kunie's indifferent expression.
It was exactly like her own after losing her sister Kanae.
Both Claymore and Demon Slayer were cursed worlds; demons were like malignant tumors, constantly causing various horrific events.
Humans who hadn't lost their families due to demons wouldn't become Demon Slayer Corps members or Claymore.
"Dinessa."
Kunie's face was pale, her lips trembling as she said, "If I can, I want to bring Dinessa back to life!"
That year, Dinessa was ambushed and killed by an awakened demon while protecting her.
She should have died with her.
The obsession that kept her alive until now was probably the grief and guilt in her heart, and the desire to avenge Dinessa that supported her.
This was the best outcome she could imagine.
She never expected that the deceased Dinessa could actually be resurrected?
"Then work hard, Kunie!"
Butterfly Shinobu gently grasped her trembling hands and said, "According to the Master's intelligence, to resurrect someone, you need to consume an item called a Revival Coin."
"Only powerful monsters judged as 'Lord-level' by the game will drop this item."
Even within Gran Forest, first-tier Lords like [Flaming Benosh] and [Corpse Collector Bone Prison] could easily summon flaming meteors that destroyed forests and mountains, and release chilling corpse energy that froze the earth.
Only with great power could one obtain a Revival Coin.
Kunie's gaze was firm as she said, "No matter how difficult, I won't give up."
She turned her head, looking at Butterfly Shinobu, whose eyes were as gentle as water, voice soft, and wearing a faint smile, and said, "And Sister Butterfly Shinobu, give me your share too!"
Souls finding their counterparts was never a one-sided perception.
Kunie could also touch the deep sadness within Butterfly Shinobu's heart.
For some reason, Butterfly Shinobu, who always presented herself with a gentle and calm demeanor, like a mature elder sister next door, suddenly burst into tears.
…
On the other side, Konoha Hidden Village, located in the Land of Hot Water, had already occupied the entire territory of the Land of Hot Water.
By virtue of the Reincarnation Game's abilities, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally led the Ino-Shika-Cho and Shicun Family Ninja Clan to wipe out all resistance forces within the Land of Hot Water.
Konoha players had expanded to five thousand, with the Ino-Shika-Cho, Sarutobi, and Shicun Family Ninja Clan players accounting for the majority.
The legitimate Hokage faction had long since dispelled the gloom, stepping on the bones of Hidden Hot Water and civilians, thriving and flourishing.
In the Hokage Building's conference room, Sarutobi Hiruzen wore a straw hat and a Hokage robe, with a benevolent smile like a spring breeze.
However, his hideous face had not yet recovered.
There were countless means within the Reincarnation Game to eliminate scars, which could easily restore his former appearance.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen chose not to do so.
These scars, inflicted by torture in prison after being framed by Orochimaru, were deliberately kept by him.
Constantly reminding himself.
"Constant forbearance only leads to betrayal; when necessary, thunderous measures must be taken!"
Recalling the scene of personally snapping his close friend Danzo's neck, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart began to ache.
He used to maintain a righteous and magnificent image because Danzo, as the root in the shadows, handled most of the dirty work and trouble.
The two of them were as indispensable as light and shadow.
After Shimura Danzo's death, he inherited his close friend's will, merging the Shicun Family into the Sarutobi Clan, indistinguishable from each other.
And he was no longer as hesitant and weak as before.
Any obstacle to Konoha's rise, even if it was his own kin, he would act without the slightest hesitation.
"Hokage-sama."
Akimichi Torifu took a deep breath and said, "News from the game reports that the Konoha forces have killed the Lord of Gran Forest, [Minotaur King Sauda], dropping two Revival Coins."
As the new clan head of the Akimichi Ninja Clan after Akimichi Choza's death, he was also personally appointed by the Hokage as the [Intelligence Director].
Responsible for transmitting and investigating all intelligence inside and outside the game, so the news of the Konoha forces killing the Minotaur King was reported to him immediately.
Hearing his words, the breathing of the clan heads and elite ninja present became heavy.
Revival Coins.
Capable of perfectly resurrecting a deceased person without any side effects, they were extremely scarce strategic materials in any force.
With continuous wars in the Ninja World, who hadn't lost friends or family?
On the Reincarnation Game's trading market, the price of Revival Coins had been hyped to two hundred thousand reward points, but no one was willing to sell them.
"Two Revival Coins…"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked with a benevolent smile, "Although I am the Hokage, killing Minotaur King Sauda is not solely my credit; it also depends on everyone's valiant efforts. What are your opinions?"
His tone was gentle, with an inquiring and consultative attitude.
It was exactly the same posture he displayed before the Konoha Crush Plan.
However, no matter how Sarutobi Hiruzen maintained his former demeanor, the Ninja Clans present still felt strange.
The essence of Chakra was a special product born from the Sage of the Six Paths' attempt to make all humans understand each other.
Even if it had lost its original intention now, it still retained some faint effects of emotional externalization.
Therefore, ninja who controlled Chakra were more likely than ordinary people to fall into extreme love and hatred, leading to continuous warfare.
Now, their strange feeling originated from the slight coldness similar to the hawkish Shimura Danzo that they sensed within Sarutobi Hiruzen's Chakra, in addition to his former willingness to sacrifice everything for Konoha.
Of course, most ninja did not possess the ability to fully perceive Chakra like the Uzumaki Clan or the Tailed Beasts.
They only had a vague feeling that this Hokage-sama no longer gave them the warm and approachable feeling he once did.
But this subtle subconscious intuition was mostly ignored directly.
They simply thought that Hokage-sama had become more hawkish after experiencing the impact of the Konoha Crush.
