Global Card Master Era

Konoha's Third Avenue is the area where most civilians live in the entire Konoha, and the land utilization rate in the nearby area is close to the limit.

For Konoha residents whose average building height does not exceed 3 stories, this is the low-rent housing area where the lowest-status civilians in Konoha live.

However, with the large number of civilians, various new demands will naturally arise. Gradually, shops run by ordinary civilians have sprung up in this area like mushrooms after a rain. Over the past few decades, this area has become more popular due to the special phenomenon of gathering of vendors. It has become one of the most lively areas in Konoha.

Even ninja masters come here to shop from time to time.

Of course, all this was before the arrival of the God of Ninja World.

Hinata Asuna's home is in one of the four-story residential buildings.

As a member of the Hyuga branch family, the Hyuga family naturally owns a lot of properties throughout Konoha.

Normally, most of the Hyuga family's property is left to the branch family to take care of.

It’s not that the master’s family attaches great importance to the branch family, it’s just because the life and death power of the branch family has always been in the hands of the master family.

【Caged bird】

This is a technique used by the master family to control the branch family. As long as it is activated, it can give the branch family a splitting headache or even make them brain-dead. The white eyes that are so beautiful in the eyes of the tribe will be directly destroyed. .

In this way, the main family actually controls the branch itself.

No one is willing to risk their lives. In this case, it has become inevitable to hand over some non-critical industries that are cumbersome and will affect the practice of ninjutsu to separate families.

A year ago, Hinata Asuna never thought that she would be able to escape from [Caged Bird].

The imprisoned bird is always looking up at the sky, but it can only be trapped in this small cage.

Until that day.

The sky is filled with endless glow.

Those rays of light were like black holes, seemingly slowly but in fact they quickly drained away most of the chakra from their bodies.

When she came back to her senses, Hinata Asuna discovered that she could no longer use ninjutsu.

The god of the ninja world took back their right to practice ninjutsu. This should have been devastating news for her as a ninja.

However, as chakra disappeared from the ninja world, the "caged bird" maintained by chakra was automatically released.

The caged bird is free!

That day, Hinata Asuna was stunned for a long time. When she finally reacted and screamed, she cried with joy.

free! free! !

People who have it don't care, but she who doesn't have it feels like a flower has bloomed in her heart, and even the weather today looks a lot brighter.

"God of Ninja, thank you for the salvation you have given me and my compatriots!"

No longer need to be controlled by others, no longer need to be frightened, and no longer need to be afraid of the ninjas from other villages who covet the chakra bloodline.

All of this was so beautiful, as if he had had a sweet dream of peace in the ninja world.

Hehe, now the ninjas really can't resist the power of firearms!

Thinking of this, she just felt that times had changed.

"Asuna, are you going to the recruitment office tonight?" Hinata Sakurako, Hinata Asuna's friend, opened the door and asked casually.

"I have to go to school later. After the basic cultural classes are over, I will go back to the recruitment office. Don't wait for me tonight."

Hinata Asuna smiled and waved her hand. After the ninja world was unified, the Red Covenant became the de facto controller of the entire ninja world.

The first decree issued after the establishment of the Covenant was to establish compulsory education schools with unified and centralized training in medium-sized villages.

Relevant teachers and educational materials will be dealt with through covenants.

The most important thing is...all school-age students in the ninja world must go to the nearby compulsory education training school for unified learning and guidance.

Asuna is also one of them.

Climb! Climb! Climb!

After Asuna said goodbye to her friends, she went to the next level.

Hinata Asuna was running quickly, her steps were very brisk, and she reached the first floor in just a few steps.

"Asuna, school is over?"

"Yes, Uncle Inoue." Hinata Asuna's breath was steady. Being a former ninja still has certain advantages. Climbing the stairs at this speed was like walking on flat ground without even taking a breath.

In fact, even if most people are no longer able to use ninjutsu, the foundation of ninja is still there after all. Let alone a few floors, there will be no problem even if it is ten or dozens of floors. .

However, in her impression, there were no such tall buildings in the ninja world.

…

Click~

Asuna took the key and opened the door.

"Sister, come back!" The younger brother's voice came from the room,

"I'm back!" Asuna said loudly.

After closing the door and walking in, she soon saw her young brother Hinata Kazuto on her balcony.

He was a little thin, sitting in a wheelchair, holding a book in his hand, and reading very seriously.

As if he heard his own footsteps, he raised his head slightly and looked at his sister.

After blinking, a bright smile appeared on the boy's face.

"Kazuto, what are you looking at?"

The sickly young man on the balcony pushed his wheelchair and turned his direction towards his sister: "Sister, I am reading the "Assembly Line Firearms Operation Manual"."

Hinata Asuna glanced at it and said with a smile: "Oh? It's Miss Lu Li's instruction manual. Are you planning to join the night watchman department in the future, Kazuto?"

Hinata Asuna knew nothing about the night watch department or anything like that.

But I heard that the Night Watch department is different from the [Legion] that will be formed in the future.

Inside are more firearms that are used to suppress ninjas in the ninja world.

To be more precise, it is more like some kind of war weapon similar to the puppet master of the Kingdom of Sand.

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is——

Hinata Asuna's eyes looked at her brother's shrunken calves.

I heard that the special puppet [Falcon-V] used by the Night Watch department in the future can be directly controlled without ninjutsu.

Even the controller's senses will be synchronized with the special puppet [Falcon-V].

This is definitely an irresistible temptation for my younger brother who has not known what it is like to walk for a long time.

"Kazuto~" Hinata Asuna smiled and made a cheering gesture toward him, "You must cheer up!"

Inadvertently, Hinata Asuna's eyes glanced at Kazuto's feet, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart...

Kazuto's legs developed problems when he was young, and he became increasingly unable to stand up.

From jumping around in the beginning, to stumbling when walking.

Now, my brother has become completely disabled.

For a disabled person to survive in the ever-changing ninja world, the pressure is not ordinary.

If it were Konoha in the past...

Hinata Asuna's face paled slightly.

The only public education and training system in Konoha is the ninja school.

For a branch family like Hinata Asuna, the ninja school is a magical cave that continuously draws young children from Konoha and trains them into war weapons for the great war of the ninja world.

What's even more sad is that everyone obviously knows that the ninja school is an organization that cultivates murderous weapons, but there are countless people in Konoha who want to join the ninja school, but they can't.

In fact, a year ago, Hinata Kazuto's biggest dream was to join the ninja school, because for Konoha, ninjas are undoubtedly the highest status existence.

Even, for the villagers of Konoha, he is still above the daimyo.

What Kazuto needs is not the identity of a ninja school student, but just the recognition of others.

But now there are no ninjas...

Asuna shook her head.

My younger brother has been bedridden for a long time and cannot receive much sunlight, so now his face is very pale.

"Fortunately, my parents' salary is pretty good now, so it's not difficult to raise my younger brother well."

Thinking of this, Asuna couldn't help laughing.

Things are changing really fast. In the past, the main family looked down on the branch family, and at the cost of controlling the life of the branch family, many properties were handed over to the branch family to take care of.

Now that the ability to control has been lost, it will not be easy to get back these assets that have been handed over to separate companies.

"It is unlikely that Kazuto's body will recover, and it will not even be easy to find his partner in the future."

"Even if we start training from scratch and want to transform in the direction of joining the Night Watch team, the physical disability itself is the biggest disadvantage."

"The Night Watch team may not want a younger brother. I cannot bet all my future hopes on the Night Watch. As a sister, I must change my younger brother's fate."

"It's dawn in the ninja world, but the light can't shine on my brother yet... I have to find a way to open the window."

These thoughts lingered in Hinata Asuna's heart for a long time. It was precisely because of this that she wanted to cheer up even more.

Recruiting office!

Burning Legion Recruitment Office!

She didn't dare let her brother see the hope in her eyes.

She heard from an elder that the members of the various Burning Legion detachments currently organized by the Red Covenant were one of the few groups in the ninja world that still retained extraordinary power.

Because the Burning Legion's ability to continue to use chakra is not innate, and now that ninjas have no way to use chakra, the only way to gain extraordinary power is to join the officialdom.

Only by joining the official organization that stabilizes the order of the ninja world can she regain the power to practice the ninjutsu system.

I heard from an elder who had already joined it that the Burning Legion had a power system far beyond what ninjas knew.

There is even no shortage of genetic modification surgeries.

According to the elders, applying for the genetic modification surgery requires a lot of merit points.

Merit points are a new value system within the alliance that replaces the ninja currency "Liang".

Asuna heard that among the Burning Legion, the value of merit points was so high that it made people jealous.

It is not difficult for Kazuto to solve the symptoms of muscle atrophy in her legs in the legion, provided that she has enough merit points.

The prerequisite for obtaining merit points is to pass the interview at the recruitment office.

I heard that the leader of the covenant, Lady Tsunade, recently visited the temple to ask the God of the Ninja World for quotas to expand the Burning Legion.

When the Nine Magatama Samsara Eye appeared in the sky yesterday, it was a symbol that Tsunade-sama had been recognized by the Ninja God.

The quota limits that were originally stuck in the Military Recruitment Department will now be relaxed a lot.

Regarding this, Hinata Asuna also foresaw this.

Rather than leaving this group of ninjas who once wielded extraordinary power alone, it would be better to bring them under the control of the Legion.

Otherwise, if a group of unscrupulous guys in the past were allowed to roam the ninja world, it would not be surprising that many things would happen.

And she, Hinata Asuna, is one of the ten peers in the lower age group who have won the title of "Candidate Ninja" from the recruitment office.

Most of the others are young people from the ninja clan in the same village.

There is really no way. Even if many ninjas have lost the power of ninjas, they still have the power of money.

Among this group of people, she is almost the one with the most ordinary family conditions.

Well, the branch family is so miserable. Even if it is in Hinata's name, as long as you see a caged bird on him, some young ninjas will even try to bully the people in the Hinata branch family.

Without him, their master family didn't care much about the life and death of the branch family anyway, and they were even less willing to share the enemy's threat for the branch family.

But now, Asuna just wanted to say that she was trying not to laugh.

…

After dinner, the family pushed his younger brother Kazuto out for a walk in his wheelchair, while Hinata Asuna herself went straight to school.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sun had already sunk into the other foot of the mountain. After getting the relevant books at school, Asuna went straight to the recruitment office.

She ran very fast and quickly shuttled through the streets of Konoha Village.

She has obviously lost her ninja power, but now Asuna feels that her movement speed has not dropped much compared to her ninja days.

Even when he saw a wall in a dead end of an alley, he climbed over the four-meter-high wall with a single leap, and took a shortcut straight to the recruitment office.

As her body moved, she felt her body getting hotter.

But she didn't hate this feeling, and instead moved faster.

The speed of 15m/s is just enough for the body to stretch out. When we get to the recruitment office, our performance will be even better during the actual test.

This ability to smoothly speed up the body without relying on the body's chakra is said to be the work of the Ninja God.

Gradually optimizing one's own genes through some means... It is really a means that only gods can do.

In fact, in the ninja world, there are still some methods that can change the physical constitution of ninjas occasionally, but it is impossible to cover the entire ninja world and improve the physical fitness of all people at the same time.

call! call!

Feeling the whistling in her ears as she moved forward quickly, Asuna subconsciously thought:

"There is still one month left for the Burning Legion's final round of ninja tests. By then, you must show your due level! Whether it is for your own future, or for the sake of your brother and others."

Hinata Asuna's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly discovered that there was some chaos on the road ahead, and a large group of people surrounded the middle of the road.

She didn't hesitate at all, she didn't even stop. She kicked off the ground hard with both feet, and rose two to three meters high out of thin air. She stepped on the roof of the window of the residential building and climbed to the roof in two consecutive leaps. .

Five minutes later, Hinata Asuna arrived at a crowded place.

Burning Legion Recruitment Office Konoha Branch.

After taking a deep breath, Asuna stopped in front of the Burning Legion recruitment office.

Recruitment offices in various parts of the alliance are located in major cities in the ninja world, occupying a large area in the local area as the place where the recruitment offices are located.

To be more precise, this place is not entirely used for recruiting troops.

Registration location at the Military Recruitment Office.

On-site assessment location of the Recruiting Office.

The largest ninja training facility in the area.

…

With the combination of multiple functions, every recruitment office entrenched here is like a giant psychic beast from Miaomu Mountain entrenched on the scene.

Entering the floor designed for newcomers like them to train, Asuna heard other people calling her.

"Miss Asuna!"

"Hey, Asuna, here."

On the road inside the recruitment office, there were a large number of students who wanted to enlist in the army.

These students looked very respectful when they saw Hinata Asuna. An existence that was about to enter the Burning Legion meant that Asuna would soon regain the power of chakra just like in the past.

For many of their parents who are no longer ninjas, this must be all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred, and then they turn around and pinch their children's ears to start a series of "other people's children" education.

All children over the age of 10 can come to the recruitment office for basic courses.

Children over 12 years old can even start formal training.

When you reach the age of 16, you can formally apply to the military recruitment office. As long as you pass the assessment and approval, you can successfully become a ninja with stronger supernatural power.

That was a far more powerful existence than the previous ninjas.

Thinking of this, Asuna, who had always been calm, began to breathe quickly.

"Nao-sister, I'm here." Hinata Asuna shouted with a smile. This big sister named Tenri Nao took good care of herself.

After learning about her brother's situation, she was very active in helping Asuna train, and she even found out the news about the genetic modification surgery for herself.

For this, Asuna is very grateful.

There are also former ninja elders in the family, but the actual situation is very different.

The direct ninja clan, such as the direct line of Uchiha, the Hyuga family, and the Senju family, still have the ability to draw chakra even after losing chakra.

According to Sister Nao, one of the core reasons for the establishment of the Recruitment Office was to allow children whose families were too poor to practice cultivation here.

By the way, it provides a place for leisure and entertainment for major villages.

"I don't know how much my overall combat ability has improved in the past half month of practice."

Hinata Asuna walked towards the 'dynamometer' in the corner of the training ground of the recruitment office. This new model was said to be produced by the Hunting Organization.

Now the entire ninja world knows that the Kari Organization and the Ninja God come from the same place.

It is said that in the world where the ninja god lives, the gods are constantly moving, and their strength is beyond the imagination of the ninja world.
