Chapter 194: Konoha is unwilling to pursue the Avengers (Part 1) (Ch 194)

Something big happened in Konoha!
And it’s not just one big thing!
The first major event is that the new game launch conference has achieved unprecedented success. “Ultimate Storm”, the first competitive game in history, is destined to go down in history and even cause a storm that changes the entire ninja world.
After all, in that kind of “fair”, “open” and “just” competitive atmosphere, who is stronger and who is weaker really depends on who has mastered more secret arts and combat skills, and also on combat experience. The only thing that will not happen is a situation where numbers are crushed and people are extremely frustrated.
Here, even the Shadows of various countries can only duel with others in a ‘fair’ digital environment, which also means that even ordinary civilians have the potential to knock down the high and mighty Shadows.
As a result, the gene of “the inferiors overthrowing the superiors” derived from the traditional culture of the island nation was activated. All those who had played this game, even those who had been abused in the game, gave it rave reviews. After the news spread, those who knew the details of the game were very excited and had a new understanding and expectation of the game.
Although not everyone wants to beat up the respected leaders of various countries, there are definitely guys that they don’t like but cannot beat.
In this ninja world where the disparity between the strong and the weak is extremely huge, it is still okay between ninjas, as there is a possibility that the weak can surpass the strong, but there is a huge chasm between ninjas and ordinary people, and it is impossible to bridge the gap.
The classes are rigidified and ordinary people have no hope of turning things around. This is the overall situation in the ninja world. Occasionally there are ordinary people who have ninja talent and have the opportunity to become ninjas, but the probability is only one in a hundred thousand or even a million, and they cannot be used as a reference at all.
Therefore, the emergence of the game “Ultimate Storm” overturns the dilemma that ordinary people cannot resist ninjas. Although it is only limited to the game, it is enough for most ordinary people.
Because before this kind of thing could only happen in dreams, or even not in dreams, but now it has become a reality within reach.
For a time, some ordinary people who were still struggling for a living were tempted. They thought that it would be a good experience to grit their teeth, spend some money to enter the game hall to play this new game, and then try to beat up the high-ranking ninja masters.
Hmm? Why not take the opportunity to beat up the nobles as well?
Then you don’t understand. There are few ninja masters and they are scattered all over the place. Most of them are in the ninja village. Except for those rebels and wandering ninjas, most ninjas abide by the rules very much and will not easily attack ordinary people.
But those nobles are different, they are really celestial dragons who will attack ordinary people at will without worrying about being punished. If you offend these nobles in the game, you will be punished offline.
All in all, the game “Ultimate Storm” has created a phenomenal effect. From the daimyo to the peddlers, everyone has shown a strong interest in this game. The daimyo of the Fire Nation has already obtained the first-hand game and directly sent invitations to the daimyo of the Fire Nation’s vassal states and several other major countries, allowing all the real top-class figures in the ninja world to come to the Fire Nation to play the game.
By the way, another reason for the class rigidity in the ninja world is that these daimyo are truly Celestial Dragons in another sense, and the daimyo from different countries are related by blood.
In particular, the five major countries had been intermarrying and visiting relatives for hundreds of years, making these daimyo and nobles like a ninja version of the Habsburg family.
So, you can even see that during the Ninja World War, the ninjas of the two countries fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and countless people died, but the daimyos of the two countries could get together to hold banquets and play mahjong. The biggest conflict was that they started quarreling, arguing for some interests until their ears were red in the face, and they still did what they had to do afterwards, which fully demonstrated that the upper and lower classes were completely in different worlds.
Of course, now that we have illusion games, perhaps in future ninja wars, fighting will take place on the front lines while games will be played in the rear.
But no one knows what will happen after this. After all, there is already a Golden Flash in the ninja world who is born with a rebellious nature.
In addition to the major event caused by this new game, another major event in Konoha was that on the same day of the game launch, a riot seemed to have occurred ten kilometers outside Konoha Village.
The specific situation is unknown, but Konoha immediately blocked that area and did not allow outsiders to enter.
Regarding this matter, Konoha fully demonstrated the power of the Sealing Class. The hidden king of the Sealing Class, the orphan of the Uzumaki clan and the top master, Kushina Uzumaki, took action. A huge barrier covered the area, making it impossible for others to enter.
This incident shocked those who knew about it. They couldn’t imagine that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki could actually do such a thing.
Some people with keen perception said that Uzumaki Kushina seemed to have used the Nine-Tails Chakra, but this speculation was immediately denied.
As we all know, the relationship between the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Nine-Tails has always been bad. As the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails has always existed in the ninja world with an unruly attitude. Even after being sealed for many years, he has never surrendered. Even a Warring States superman like Uzumaki Mito could not make the Nine-Tails bow its head.
The Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Kushina, often heard about the Nine-Tails losing control. Although it was suppressed every time, it proved that the Nine-Tails never got along well with the Jinchūriki.
In this situation, saying that the Nine-Tails would help Uzumaki Kushina is pure nonsense, and no one believes such a thing anyway.
In short, because of this super sealing technique, what happened in the Root organization was not known to the outside world, and Konoha did not make it public, obviously wanting to handle everything in a low-key manner.
Faced with such a situation, all parties are naturally trying every means to investigate, and while Konoha is handling it privately, it is actually also extremely overwhelmed.
After all, the destruction of the Root organization is no small matter, and it makes Konoha very helpless and troubled.
However, the Konoha high-ranking officials are still debating on whether or not to pursue the matter, because in their perception, this was just a mess that Danzo Shimura had caused himself, and it was a mess that he had not cleaned up cleanly.
The poor unfortunate experimental subject ran back for revenge, and with his invincible power of Wood Release, he directly destroyed the Root organization and severely injured and paralyzed the culprit, Danzo Shimura.
Theoretically speaking, Konoha should get to the bottom of this.
However, Wood Release is so special that if a large-scale search and wanted order is carried out, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Konoha once the news gets out.
Moreover, the mysterious avenger only destroyed the Root and Danzo Shimura, and did not even kill Danzo Shimura. It was obvious that he did not want to tear his face with Konoha, and he showed an attitude of clearly distinguishing between gratitude and resentment, only killing the main culprit, and not venting his anger on Konoha.
In this case, does Konoha still have any reason to continue pursuing the matter of the mysterious Avengers?
Therefore, the Konoha high-level officials have been arguing endlessly about this matter, and no conclusion has been reached after several days.
