Chapter 418 - Chapter 417: Aizen's Ambition

"Kikyo, Erza, we're the champions!"

Anya clenched her fists, her eyes sparkling like little stars, and she jumped up and down excitedly.

Erza picked up Anya and laughed, "It's all thanks to Anya's Mind Reading. Kikyo and I were able to find the Corpse Dragon's weakness."

Although,

Anya was trembling with fear the entire time, hiding inside Kikyo's Demon-Slaying Barrier, but she provided crucial assistance.

The Underground Imperial Palace map was extremely dangerous.

Not only were there Corpse Dragons lurking, but also zombie members of the imperial family buried in the crypts throughout history, as well as Corpse Servant attendants who served the zombies.

Anya timidly said, "Anya is still too weak, making big sisters worry..."

It was only because Erza and Kikyo, two Tier-2 players, had no ill intent that Mind Reading could work.

When she sensed the Tier-2 boss Corpse Dragon, she was almost overwhelmed and turned into an idiot by its violent spiritual energy and will.

Fortunately, Kikyo noticed and quickly used a barrier to protect Anya.

Not just the Corpse Dragon,

Other players also hunting the Corpse Dragon, such as Akainu, who wore a Rose Medal and had a grim expression, would have rushed over and punched Anya to death after realizing she was spying on them if Erza and Kikyo weren't so formidable.

"Anya wants to buy [Witchcraft Potion] to improve her spiritual attribute, so she doesn't become a burden to Kikyo and Erza!"

The rewards for hunting the Corpse Dragon were distributed evenly.

Anya, the slacker, contributed the least, but she did serve as a [Weakness Vision] function, earning 100,000 reward points.

The discovery of the Corpse Dragon's weakness was all thanks to the [Corpse Servant]—imperial guards who had become zombies due to absorbing excessive yin energy. They weren't strong and could barely be mind-read by Anya.

Furthermore, because they served the Corpse Dragon, they knew its secrets.

Kikyo, dressed in a red and white Miko outfit, asked curiously, "Anya wants to become a Miko too?"

"Can I?"

Anya looked up at Kikyo, her eyes sparkling, full of anticipation.

Kikyo, who had just hunted the Corpse Dragon, was like a goddess descended from heaven, pure and ethereal, irresistible to a little kid like Anya.

Kikyo ruffled her pink hair and said, "Of course you can. To become a Miko, you need to be born with spiritual power. Although you don't have spiritual power, in the Reincarnation Game, nothing is a problem."

She originally wanted to tell Anya that a Miko needs to bear the responsibility of protecting humans and put their own life and death aside.

But then she thought about it,

That was only because Musashi Country was ravaged by Yokai, a desperate thought of humans.

Through their interactions these past few days, she knew that in Otherworlds outside Musashi Country, humans could live very easily and freely.

There was no need to worship children with spiritual power as gods and pray for their protection.

For Anya, becoming a Miko was a wonderful adventure.

How nice... the Otherworld.

Erza clenched her fists, rubbing Anya's head, and asked, "Stupid Anya, don't you want to learn Re-quip Magic from me?"

"This... Erza, the magic armor is too heavy, and Anya is still an underage child, she can't carry it..."

Anya's eyes welled up with tears from the pain, and she pouted, abstractly lying.

Well, actually, she was just afraid of getting tired.

Just hearing Erza say she had to swing her sword five thousand times a day scared her into shrinking her head.

Erza turned away, angrily saying, "Hmph, lazy brat, I don't want to talk to you!"

"Erza..."

Anya kept acting cute and spoiled, finally making Erza calm down.

Both beautiful big sisters were the moonlight in little Anya's heart, just like Twilight and Yor, who could make Anya feel warm.

"What about this Corpse Dragon's inner core?"

There was still a dropped inner core in the Anya Squad's public backpack.

The Jiao Dan , which was about to transform into a Corpse Dragon, already possessed a trace of dragon energy and was judged by the game to be a [Golden Quality] item.

Kikyo said, "Keep it for now, it will be useful later."

Erza did not refute and nodded in agreement.

Although Anya was young, she understood that Kikyo's subtext was that the Anya Squad would not disband and would continue to act together in the future.

"Big sisters are so nice!... Waku Waku!"

...

"Damn it!"

"Who exactly is the Anya Squad? A bowman, a magic knight—how could they snatch the Corpse Dragon?"

In the Hokage Building's conference room,

Shimura Danzo, wearing a monkey fur cloak, had a gloomy expression. Even though it was indoors, he refused to take off his Hokage Hat, suppressing his anger as he said, "Asuma Jonin, can you explain?"

This time, the operation to hunt the Corpse Dragon,

Wood Leaf Family had practically gone all out, with a large number of elite players lost, finally snatching five [Underground Imperial Palace] entry tickets.

The players ultimately assigned to hunt the Corpse Dragon were Tsunade, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha of the Mobile Unit.

There was no other choice.

Although Danzo was unwilling for the Mobile Unit to hunt, he could not deny that Tsunade and the others were indeed the strongest in Wood Leaf Family.

"The Anya Squad is likely new players from a high-tier world, already possessing great strength. The Wood Leaf Family unit that hunted the Corpse Dragon was simply outmatched..."

Asuma said, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally falling on Aizen.

Most players had already understood the world differences; worlds like the Ninja World and Pirate World were not particularly outstanding in terms of strength among countless Otherworlds.

He suspected that Aizen might be a being from a high-tier world, who had snuck into the Ninja World during the Evil God's attack.

"Since things have come to this, let's not pursue whose responsibility it is anymore."

Akimichi Torifu slowly spoke, "What needs to be done now is to recover our strength. Nearly half of Wood Leaf Family's elite players have been lost, and we still need to station troops at the Hot Spring Country border to prevent an attack from Hidden Mist Village."

Shimura Danzo broke his word, leading to the war between Kirigakure and Wood Leaf Family.

The front lines were strained.

Even the strongest Ninja Clan could not withstand further turmoil.

"The Hokage does not mean to blame anyone. After all, when comrades pass away, even I, Aizen, feel heartbroken, let alone the Shadow who illuminates the village?"

Aizen, who had been silent, helped Danzo out of his predicament, saying, "However, just as withered branches and leaves are blown away by the wind, they fall into the soil and nourish Wood Leaf Family. The two game village exchange coupons are the sweet dew bestowed by the departed heroes."

The rise of the Shadow Organization, loyal to Danzo, was bound to lead to resistance from the Ninja Clan.

The Mobile Unit, led by Asuma, was on the fringes of the Wood Leaf Family and did not require immediate attention.

Shimura Danzo's authority in Wood Leaf Family seemed immense, but it was all an illusion, already isolated from the Ninja Clan and the Mobile Unit.

As for the civilian Ninja?

They appeared to be loyal to the Hokage, but if he gave the order, they would not hesitate to chop off Danzo's head.

Aizen appropriately showed sadness, but his heart remained as calm as still water.

"That's right, two game village exchange coupons are enough to secure a place in the new season!"

Although the content of the new season was still unclear, Danzo took the opportunity to say.

The meeting ended hastily.

Shimura Danzo continued to stay in the Hokage Building, unwilling to leave.

The villagers also found it strange. Since the Evil God attack, the Hokage seemed to have changed a lot, especially the fact that he wore his Hokage Hat even when it was windy or rainy.

It was like a starving ghost seeing a bun and refusing to let go.

"Thank you, Lord Aizen."

"Don't mention it."

The director of the Wood Leaf Family Newspaper did not expect Lord Aizen to be willing to take the time to agree to his plan to photograph the "Smile of the Sun" photo album.

Watching Lord Aizen's departing back, he couldn't help but sigh, "Lord Aizen is truly approachable. If it were me, I would definitely support him to become the next Hokage!"

Aizen, who had left, walked all the way to the grilled meat restaurant at the street corner.

He looked up, saw the Akimichi Clan's symbol, and with a smile, knocked on the door knocker.

"Sorry, we're closed."

"I am Aizen Sōsuke."

Creak...

The wooden door of the grilled meat restaurant was pushed open a crack, welcoming Aizen inside.

Inside the dimly lit restaurant, familiar faces were gathered.

The clan heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho Ninja Clan, the Hiashi Clan, and smaller clans like Aojō.

"Sorry for the delay, Mr. Aizen."

"My apologies."

Aizen smiled apologetically and quickly took his seat.

This was a conspiracy against the current Hokage!
