"The Necromancer is actually this powerful?"
"I spoke too loudly before. Actually, there isn't much difference between good and evil. I also want to be a Necromancer."
Some players stared intently at the figure that had transformed into a Dead Spirit Curse Snake.
They immediately felt their own game classes were too weak.
"Are you dreaming?"
A clear-headed player sneered, "You can't even gather the core skills of an Ice Mage, and you want to be a Necromancer?"
In the live stream, Orochimaru, who was able to overpower the Fallen Lord Monster, looked impressive,
but that had nothing to do with being a Necromancer.
There were six-figure numbers of players in the Ninja World and Pirate World, and at least dozens of Necromancers.
Most of them struggled at the bottom, practically the weakest of their tier.
There was no other reason; they were just poor.
Unlike a Lich, who can summon skeletons from the Underworld to fight,
Necromancers are more inclined towards manual labor.
All undead creatures need to be crafted by themselves, each costing hundreds to thousands of reward points, and battle damage also requires repair costs.
Orochimaru could be this formidable
because he had the vast Fire Empire as his backing. If one couldn't even understand this and just went to become a Necromancer,
that would be idiotic.
"I am not his opponent."
Mei Terumi remained silent for a long time before making her most sincere judgment.
Although she was unwilling to admit it,
even when besieged by the four nations, the Fire Empire was able to provide Orochimaru with such powerful assistance in a short time, relying on its remaining territory.
She summoned Chojuro, her most trusted right-hand man, who had always been diligent and honest.
"Mizukage-sama."
Chojuro, who had an ordinary and unremarkable appearance, knelt on the ground.
Mei Terumi saw him and gently rubbed her forehead, asking strangely, "Is it my imagination?"
Chojuro, who was already plain-looking, now looked even more…
She didn't know how to describe it.
"It's because of practicing new skills recently."
Chojuro scratched his head with a smile.
When hunting a Lord Monster earlier, a rule-based item [Skill Comprehension Stone] dropped.
During its duration, it temporarily increased the proficiency gain when practicing skills, with a chance to comprehend skill attributes.
After he obtained the Skill Comprehension Stone, he continuously practiced Blood Mist Swordsmanship.
As a result, he comprehended the skill attributes of [Blood Mist Swordsmanship].
The Lv.5 attribute was [Bone Manipulation Form Change], the Lv.10 attribute was [Skin Pull], and the Lv.15 attribute was [Guardian of the Mizukage's Name].
This directly caused Blood Mist Swordsmanship, which was judged as a blue skill,
to far exceed the power and difficulty of other players' purple skills due to its three attribute properties.
But there were also drawbacks.
Because the energy manipulation techniques required for the skill forms were very high,
the external Chakra and energy interfered with his facial muscles, causing his features to become increasingly rough.
"It's okay, the most important thing for a man is powerful strength; appearance can be slightly overlooked."
Mei Terumi said against her will, comforting her subordinate whose features were gradually becoming abstract.
Of course, if she were to look for a lover herself, she would definitely look at their face first.
She snapped her fingers.
The most luxurious hotel in Ston City, with a room that offered a clear view of the plaza screen, was enveloped by an almost transparent fiery membrane.
No sound could be eavesdropped upon.
"To be cautious."
Mei Terumi looked directly at Chojuro and said, "Chojuro, what do you think would happen if I were to establish a new Ninja School?"
Their conversation absolutely could not be heard by others.
Especially the players from the Hidden Mist Village.
The honest man hadn't reacted yet and nodded upon hearing this, saying, "Of course, it's a good thing. Any ninja who can cultivate Ninja Art can exchange reward points obtained from the Ninja Art they've learned."
Although most commoners had poor talent and couldn't cultivate very profound Ninja Art, and the amount of Chakra they extracted was pitifully small,
they could still exchange for hundreds of reward points, which counted as starting capital.
This could alleviate the financial pressure on Kirigakure.
Mei Terumi slowly said, "What if the Ninja School I want to establish aims to accept tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of commoners?"
After speaking, her exquisite emerald eyes intentionally or unintentionally fell on Chojuro.
"That's good. The more commoners, the more players, the more… what!?"
Chojuro reacted belatedly, looking at the Mizukage in shock, stammering, "Mizukage-sama, are you trying to imitate Orochimaru of the Fire Empire?"
Under normal circumstances, how could one possibly need to recruit tens of thousands of commoners as ninjas?
Based on what was currently known,
only Orochimaru in the entire Ninja World did this, training all commoners to become ninjas, who then in turn supported the Fire Empire.
It was also because of this unconventional, subversive change that the Fire Empire became the enemy of the entire Ninja World.
Although powerful,
it also constantly faced the risk of being besieged.
She hadn't expected that the Mizukage of her own Hidden Mist Village would also entertain the same idea.
"Have you not seen Orochimaru's strength?"
Mei Terumi's expression was normal as she pointed to the plaza projection outside the window.
Orochimaru, clearly also at the peak of Tier 1, was actually able to suppress a Tier 2 Lord Monster in battle, possessing assets worth at least nearly a million reward points.
The Fire Empire could afford this money, all thanks to those crazy changes of recruiting commoners.
"But, Mizukage-sama, have you not considered the attitude of the Ninja Clan?"
Chojuro pointed out the most crucial contradiction, saying, "All the Ninja Clan of the Fire Empire were eliminated by Orochimaru, existing in name only. Only Hyuga Neji became a noble, but he is also controlled by the empire and cannot be as free as a typical Ninja Clan."
The reason the Fire Empire was ostracized by the entire Ninja World lay in this.
Most powerful ninjas had a Ninja Clan standing behind them.
Commoner ninjas not supported by a Ninja Clan were pitifully few; they were either used as cannon fodder on the battlefield or struggled at the bottom, becoming Chunin by middle age.
The backbone of the Ninja World was the core of the Ninja Clan.
The Fire Empire's ruling model, however, completely sealed the fate of the Ninja Clan.
It brought commoner ninjas, who had always been treated as cannon fodder, to the very center of the Ninja World stage, replacing the Ninja Clan's position.
Who could tolerate this?
Don't look at how united the Hidden Mist Village is now; that's because they have a common goal.
If Mei Terumi's words were to spread,
most Ninja Clan would switch sides, or even directly withdraw from their families and betray the Hidden Mist Village.
Just like the Konoha Hidden Village back then.
Initially,
most Ninja Clan didn't care about Sarutobi Hiruzen's fate; even the closest Ino-Shika-Cho reluctantly acknowledged Orochimaru as the acting Hokage.
Why did they betray him in the end?
Wasn't it because of the Fire Empire's ruling model that led them to forcibly enter the Konoha prison and rescue Sarutobi Hiruzen?
"Therefore, we need to take some action."
Mei Terumi told him these things because
she wanted to gather people who would do these things with her, and Chojuro was a very suitable candidate.
The Hidden Mist Empire's plan could not be brought into the open for now;
it could only be secretly laid out behind the scenes. It would only see the light of day when the plan was irreversible, commoner ninjas unconsciously increased, Ninja Clan power gradually declined, and she could rally support with a single call.
Previously,
this matter faced enormous resistance and could have taken years or even decades.
But now, with the help of the Reincarnation Game, with a meticulous plan, a [Hidden Mist Empire] could be created in less than a year.
Mei Terumi felt it was inappropriate to continue maintaining the status quo of the Hidden Mist Village; it was very likely to become the Konoha of yesterday.
