Uchiha girl, ignites a group pet war in Konoha

Chapter 156

Kakuzu, who was sitting in the living room of the Hokage building, had a test paper in front of him. Inside the room, several Konoha ninjas in charge of the exam were staring at him intently. Outside the room, Senju Tobirama was also sensing his every move, not missing any details.

Kakuzu, who was completely confused by this sudden test and Konoha's posture, could only pick up the test paper helplessly. Although his eyes mechanically scanned the questions, his heart was in turmoil, and questions popped up one after another in his head quickly-

Why do you have to take an exam to see the Hokage?

How come these questions are all about money?

Just thinking of the hellish long queue outside, and thinking about the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Kakuzu still resolutely picked up the pen and devoted himself to the calculation.

Tobirama, who came to invigilate the exam, had brighter and brighter eyes. He realized that Kakuzu not only did not cheat, but his strength should also be quite good. Especially when he saw Kakuzu completing the calculation accurately at an extremely fast speed, his satisfaction became stronger.

Able to calculate accounts, understand economics, and have chakra, aren't these the excellent talents that Konoha Village urgently needs?

A few hours later, after sending out the carefully completed test paper, Kakuzu waited anxiously for the results. What he never expected was that Senju Tobirama, a famous figure in the ninja world, would come to meet him in person.

Facing Kakuzu who was stiff and at a loss, Tobirama patted his shoulder gently with great enthusiasm. Although his expression was still expressionless, everyone could see that he was in a very good mood.

"Tomorrow, no, you come with me now, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the work process."

"What?!"

The always steady and self-sustaining Kakuzu was instantly terrified. He widened his eyes and suddenly realized what stupid thing he had done. He immediately felt regretful and hurriedly explained:

"Lord Tobirama, I'm not here to find a job!"

"Don't worry, Konoha will never treat talents like you unfairly."

Tobirama handed him a piece of paper, and Kakuzu subconsciously took it to check. The paper detailed the employee benefits and work content. Although the working hours were extremely long and there was an obligation to work overtime, Tobirama was still very generous in terms of giving money.

The various welfare benefits are also quite good. Not only are food and accommodation included, but the medical department will also fully cover the medical expenses of employees, and both major and minor illnesses can be properly taken care of.

Where have the ninjas of the small ninja village seen such generous treatment?

Kakuzu counted the zeros on the monthly payroll one by one, and his heart was filled with ripples. He quickly calculated in his mind how much he could buy with this money, and how much unprecedented sense of security it could bring him.

As for the extra-long working hours, Kakuzu didn't care much. After all, he had long been accustomed to a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife. Until recently, he had taken on some extremely risky tasks in Takikage Village, and the money he earned was often gone before he could save it.

It must be said that Kakuzu was really tempted!

"I..."

"Are you dissatisfied with the salary?"

Tobirama looked at the perfect test paper, his eyes flashing with admiration. For such talents, he was certainly willing to invest more resources.

In short, stuff money.

"Then I'll increase your salary by 20% or 30%. When you become more skilled in your work, your salary will be doubled, and there will be bonuses during the holidays."

"That's great. I, I..."

Relying on his loyalty to the village, Kakuzu swallowed the three words "I agree" that were on the tip of his tongue. At this moment, his heart seemed to be cut by countless sharp blades, and it hurt so much that it almost bled.

Recalling his days in Takigakure Village, he was thrifty and spent every day in the shadow of swords, but even so, he had never had such a generous reward, not to mention that there was always the risk of losing his life there. In comparison, the conditions in Konoha were simply countless times better!

But even so, Kakuzu still had deep feelings and inseparable loyalty to Takigakure Village. He gritted his teeth tightly, resisted the temptation and struggle in his heart, and finally rejected Tobirama's generous conditions.

"....Lord Tobirama, thank you for your kindness, but I am a ninja from Takigakure after all."

"I understand."

Although Kakuzu finally chose to refuse, Tobirama's evaluation of him rose sharply.

Faced with the temptation of a large sum of money, Kakuzu was still able to stick to his loyalty to the village. Konoha needs such a talented, loyal and reliable ninja!

As for the detail that Kakuzu was loyal to Takigakure instead of Konoha, Tobirama didn't care too much. In his opinion, these were just small problems. The important thing was that Kakuzu was in Konoha and within his sight.

In short, since Kakuzu had come here and was discovered by him, there was no possibility for him to leave."How about this, you stay in the village for a few days. I will tell my brother about the matter of Takigakure."

Tobirama used a tactic of retreating to advance. On the surface, he took the initiative to give in, but in fact, he had already let the Anbu keep a close eye on him, and the letter for the person had already been sent to Takigakure.

Seeing that Konoha was so friendly and tolerant, Kakuzu couldn't help feeling guilty, but the next day, he received an expedited letter from Takigakure.

Good news: His mission was completed.

Bad news: From today on, he will work for Konoha!

"For the friendship between Takigakure and Konoha, I'll leave it to you in the future."

On the day he reported to the Hokage Building, Kakuzu was stuffed with a pile of account books by Tobirama.

"Finish all these accounts and give me a summary later."

Looking at the account books piled up in his hands and almost touching the ceiling, and then looking at Tobirama who was busy creating countless shadow clones to handle official business, Kakuzu couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp, and a subtle fear flashed in his eyes. Tobirama patted his shoulder and comforted him in a calm tone:

"Work hard, as long as you do a good job, you will get the benefits."

Poor Kakuzu, although he got rid of the queuing hell, he stepped into the overtime hell, and there was no possibility of escaping from then on.

......

In the ninja school, Kamijou and Kazuma, who were taking a lunch break, quietly hid in the corner, with a smile on their faces.

"Hehe, Master Shenyue, we are going to be rich now!"

"Hahaha, it's all thanks to my genius creativity. Old-fashioned ninja people, have a taste of the power of krypton gold!"

The two small profiteers sneakily took out a set of carefully made cards, each card has a vivid ninja portrait painted on it. This is the Konoha card that Shenyue and Yizhen carefully designed and gave high hopes to. Its content and rules shamelessly borrowed from Gwent and Three Kingdoms.

Shenyue is not worried at all that this thing can't be sold. The most popular game for children in the ninja world is ninja games. To put it bluntly, a few people play ninjas and throw some stones and branches as shurikens. It's so boring. In comparison, Konoha cards are simply a dimensionality reduction strike!

Think about the modern times with abundant entertainment activities, there are so many people addicted to playing card games, she doesn't believe that the Konoha card she designed can't conquer these unsophisticated people who have never seen the market.

"Yizhen, where did you find the artist? The paintings are so beautiful."

Shenyue flipped through the deck casually, and suddenly found that the illustrations on it were vivid, as if they jumped out of the paper.

These illustrations not only have a unique ink style, but also have smooth and agile movements. Seeing this, Yizhen smiled a little embarrassedly:

"I didn't hire an artist, I drew these!"

"You?"

Shenyue widened his eyes, scanned him up and down many times, and exclaimed in his heart:

Oh my god, this guy is so talented in art? Being born in Uchiha really buried him.

"No matter what, let's go find Uncle Hashirama now!"

.....

"Uncle, play with me!"

Hashirama, who was playing with dice in the office boredly, heard this sweet and coquettish voice, and quickly hid the dice in his hand, fearing that he would be discovered, and then stretched out his arms and hugged Shenyue tightly.

"Okay, I'll play with you, Shenyue. What do you want to play?"

Hashirama rubbed Shenyue's soft cheek affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness.

He originally thought that Shenyue would ask him to tell a story, or suggest playing hide-and-seek, lift-high and other games, but she took out a set of cards from her pocket, her eyes flashing with excitement, and couldn't wait to put it in his hand.

"What is this?"

Curiously flipping through the cards, Hashirama discovered that the cards not only had beautiful portraits of people, but also various small words and numbers written on them, which seemed to represent the abilities and characteristics of the deck. These mysterious elements immediately aroused Hashirama's curiosity.

"I designed this game! Isn't it interesting?"

Kamizuki immediately waved to Kazuma, who immediately handed over a wooden board that could be used as a battlefield. Kazuma took the board, pulled Hashirama to sit down at the table, and began to carefully explain the rules to him:

The deck is divided into four categories: ninja cards, ninjutsu cards, blood cards, and ninja tool cards. After drawing the initial deck, various auxiliary cards are used to strengthen one's own ninja card to make it more combat-effective. Then the two sides attack each other's ninja cards. Whoever reaches zero health first will be defeated.

"Ah, it turns out that I also have a ninja card!"

After listening to the rules, Hashirama was already eager to try and couldn't wait to play a game. At this moment, he accidentally found his own ninja card and his eyes were immediately attracted.Attract them——

[Ninja Card: Hashirama Senju

Skills:

Wood Release Technique: Consume five chakras, Hashirama can cause 20 damage to all the opponent's cards at the same time. When damaged, he can consume a Wood Clone card to remove the damage

Special Skills:

Konoha Hokage: When Hashirama is present, the attack and defense of all friendly Konoha ninjas increase by 5]

"Master has it too, look."

Kamizuki also took out his own ninja card and showed it to him.

[Ninja Card: Uchiha Madara

Skills:

Susanoo: Consume a Mangekyō, Madara can summon Susanoo in his turn, gaining an extra 20 HP and 20 attack points. In the next turn, he can consume two Chakra cards to maintain the effect

Specials:

Ninja Shura: Whenever Madara causes damage, he can draw two extra cards]

"So Madara has this, too. That's really interesting. Let's play a round!"

Although it was his first time playing, Hashirama quickly got into the game under the guidance of Shenyue. After mastering the basic rules, Shenyue further explained the advanced game mechanism to him——

[Ninjutsu Chain: The skills of Ninja Card can form a chain attack with specific Ninjutsu Cards, Bloodline Cards, Ninja Tool Cards, and some related ninjas.

Ninja Village Alliance: Characters from the same ninja village and clan can form an alliance to activate a specific alliance effect. 】

The more he understood and played, the more Hashirama felt the profound connotation and endless fun contained in Konoha Cards.

When he successfully gathered all the conditions for the first time and launched a chain attack and alliance effect, the sense of achievement was like a surging spring, instantly filling his heart and almost overflowing his chest.

This game that emphasizes both strategy and luck is undoubtedly much more interesting than simply throwing dice. As Shenyue expected, Hashirama was really addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

He and Shenyue, on this simple wooden board, were happily engaged in playing cards one by one. Every time they played a card, they were accompanied by fierce verbal attacks, and the offensive and defensive battle was about to break out.

"Shadow Clone Technique, hehe, you only hit my clone!"

"I'm going to use medical ninjutsu, and then use my special skills. Konoha ninjas never give up, everyone, come on!"

Another round of card drawing is coming, and Hashirama nervously reaches out and carefully draws a new card from the deck.

He prayed silently, hoping to draw a powerful card this time, but when the card was turned over, he saw the familiar Shuriken card. Hashirama couldn't help but let out a wail full of ending:

"Why are they all D-level cards!"

Kamizuki also reached out and drew a card from the deck. When he saw that he had drawn the top bloodline card Mangekyō Sharingan, he couldn't help but laugh wildly:

"I drew Mangekyō again, la la la, uncle, you are doomed to lose!"

After that, she put the Mangekyō on Uchiha Madara's deck.

"Ninjutsu chain, I'm going to activate Susanoo!"

"Ahhh, I lost again!"

Hashirama's disastrous luck was activated again. Kamzuki had never seen him draw a good card above D-level card, but he still enjoyed it.

Strategic games are not entirely based on luck, and Hashirama enjoys every battle process very much.

"Come again!"

Hashirama's eyes lit up after repeated defeats. He just thought this game was really interesting. Shenyue was also addicted to it unconsciously, completely forgetting that she was here to kill fat sheep instead of playing cards. Uchiha Yizhen on the side was also watching with relish.

But he continued to watch for a long time, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses. Only then did he realize that the two had been playing for a whole afternoon!

Seeing that the lunch break was about to end, Uchiha Yizhen was so scared that his face turned pale and he shouted that something was wrong. He hurriedly grabbed Shenyue's shoulders and wanted to drag her away quickly.

You must not be late for Mr. Madara's class!

"Sir Shenyue, stop playing, we have to go to class!"
