Chapter 287 - Chapter 286: Gambler's Duel Badge, Sakazuki vs. Naruto Uzumaki

"The ability to control magma… the Navy Admiral from the Otherworld is truly terrifying."

Magma, no matter which world it's in, is an ability with extremely destructive power.

Unlike the diverse Devil Fruits and the auxiliary enhancement Haki in the Pirate World,

Ninja Art in the Ninja World is a systematic and rapidly teachable active ability.

Therefore,

most players in the Ninja World exchange for abilities that enhance their existing ones, as familiar powers can achieve the greatest effect.

Ninjas skilled in Fire Release would lean towards fire-based game abilities, and the same goes for other elemental releases.

However, magma is a quite rare and uncommon ability in the Ninja World.

Thus, there are very few who specialize in enhancing it.

The magma ability unleashed by the Otherworld Navy Admiral both shocked and frightened them, while also broadening their horizons.

"Go to hell and repent, ninja."

Sakazuki's voice was like scorching hellfire magma, making the ninjas feel as if their flesh was burning.

The fully armed Hell Lava Soldiers were like torturers crawling out of hell, ready to incinerate everyone in the ninja squad to ashes.

"What a stubborn fellow."

Naruto Uzumaki could sense the opponent's immense strength,

but as a [Paladin] after his job advancement, he was also one of the strongest players at the current stage of the Reincarnation Game, unafraid of any challenge.

"In that case, I'll make you suffer a bit, then knock some sense into you!"

Naruto Uzumaki opened his inventory,

and directly used a badge shaped like a shield with two crossed swords behind it.

[Gambler's Duel Badge].

A rule-based item that, when activated, initiates a duel with the opponent.

During the duel, neither party will be interfered with by any external factors, forming a [Game Arena].

If the opponent agrees, the winner will randomly draw an item from the loser's possession.

In the current situation,

after Naruto used the Gambler's Duel Badge, if Sakazuki still insisted on attacking, he would be considered to have agreed to the duel invitation.

A duel with quite severe consequences would commence.

"Blond brat, do you think I'm afraid?"

Seeing the text prompt, Sakazuki didn't hesitate at all and directly accepted the duel request.

He didn't believe he would lose.

He had just released Hell Lava to test Naruto Uzumaki's strength, and he hadn't sensed the same oppressive feeling as from the blonde female ninja.

Among players,

one could infer a player's general strength tier through intelligence analysis, based solely on their revealed profession, game abilities, and four-dimensional attributes.

The Intelligence Department of Navy Headquarters does precisely this kind of work.

Just now,

information about these ninjas had already been transmitted by the intelligence department secretly observing the activities of various ninja squads.

Among them, the strength of the blond brat in front of him was slightly weaker than his own, and his net worth probably barely reached 400,000 reward points.

As for himself, with the support of Navy Headquarters, his net worth had long surpassed 500,000 reward points.

With a difference of a full 100,000 reward points, he didn't believe he would lose to a greenhorn.

"Come on!"

Although it was the opponent's Gambler's Duel Badge, Sakazuki, having just arrived at the Arad map, had never heard of such an item.

But rule-based items present the truest rules; there would be no traps.

This was an absolute ironclad rule set by the Game Merchant for the Reincarnation Game, which no one could violate.

In an instant,

everyone except Naruto felt the scorching sensation of the hot magma disappear.

Even when the players of the ninja squad reached out to touch the flowing Hell Lava walls, there was no heat whatsoever.

It was like an illusion.

Because the moment the Gambler's Duel Badge took effect, the two individuals who agreed to the duel would be pulled into a combat space.

Although other players could still see them,

it was like being in two different time-spaces; they couldn't affect each other in any way until the duel ended.

The clash between the two sides was undisguised,

and was immediately known to the players of the other ninja squads and Navy squads, causing the previously somewhat eased atmosphere to instantly become intense again.

"Vice Admiral Tsuru."

Tsunade looked at the two isolated in the combat space, her gaze cold as she said, "I heard that the Admiral is the highest combat power of Navy Headquarters. Can I interpret his actions as Navy Headquarters declaring war on Wood Leaf Village?"

The ninja squad had also been attacked by Orochimaru.

Having two leader monsters snatched consecutively, anyone with a brain would know that this incident could not possibly be related to Konoha Ninja.

So the other party did it intentionally, deliberately wanting to eliminate the threat of Konoha Ninja.

Vice Admiral Tsuru smiled leisurely, "Our Navy squad was attacked by ninjas from your world. We are Otherworlders, so naturally, we cannot distinguish the affiliation of ninjas."

"However, ultimately, it was ninjas from your world who attacked our Navy squad, so Navy Headquarters is the victim."

Even though she knew in her heart that the ninja who ambushed both sides was probably like pirates and marines—though from the same world, they were mutually hostile—

she still bound the two together, placing Navy Headquarters on the side of the victim.

"A politician?"

Tsunade frowned.

This seemingly elegant, elderly Vice Admiral Tsuru reminded her very much of her Third Hokage teacher.

Both were individuals steeped in political struggles for years, unwilling to leave any loopholes in anything they did or said.

And they always had to portray themselves as being on the side of justice.

Is this the Navy?

They truly are detestable people.

Tsunade looked at the constantly erupting and flashing golden flames and magma within the combat space, and provocatively said, "Since you actively initiated the battle, you must be prepared for sacrifice. Even if there's no real death in the Reincarnation Game, the loser's cost is still very high."

She had absolute confidence in Naruto Uzumaki.

In young Naruto, she saw a tenacious and resilient will, though still immature, just like her younger brother Rope Tree and Dan back then.

Moreover,

while reward points are crucial for judging a player's strength, there are always some anomalies who possess terrifying power even without reward point enhancements.

The Nine-Tails within Naruto's body,

is suspected to be a Chakra energy body created by the Sage of the Six Paths, the only [Tier Two] entity in the Ninja World.

That Navy Admiral who can control magma isn't even worth mentioning!

On the other side,

at the edge of Gran Forest,

Yashiki Kagaya, the handsome man from the Demon Slayer World who had temporarily suppressed the Demon King's curse, and Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Pillar, were getting along very well with Konohamaru from the Ninja World.

The three, being of similar levels, continued to hunt monsters together as a team.

"The person I admire most is Boss Naruto!"

Konohamaru opened his mouth, revealing his chipped teeth, and laughed, "His strength is incredible, and he shares the same dream as me of becoming Hokage! And Big Brother Naruto will definitely become Hokage before me!"

Regardless of whether the Reincarnation Game appeared or not,

Naruto Uzumaki possessed a unique personal charisma that made those who interacted with him involuntarily succumb to the warm light he exuded.

Especially children like Konohamaru, who admired Naruto Uzumaki even more than his own Hokage grandfather.

When speaking of Naruto, his eyes were full of light.

"I understand, it's just like how we Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen admire our Master."

Stone Pillar Gyomei clasped his hands together, shedding tears of emotion.

Yaozai's handsome face bore a faint smile, and he remained silent, perfectly acting as a quiet listener.

He naturally couldn't have met Naruto Uzumaki,

but to be admired by the kind-hearted Konohamaru, he must be a very good person.

Konohamaru laughed heartily, teasing, "Has anyone ever told you, Big Brother Gyomei… you're a crybaby!"

Just then,

a message suddenly popped up in his friends list.
