Ning Feng and Liu Yue spent quite a while being lovey-dovey before the login devices on their wrists finally chimed, signaling that they could log in.
Before logging in, Liu Yue inevitably nagged him a little more about making sure to choose Konoha, the Hyuga Clan, and so on, then returned to her seat.
Ignoring the looks directed at him from all around, which practically threatened to devour him, Ning Feng looked down at the login device on his wrist and took a deep breath.
Although, as a transmigrator, he knew everything about Naruto and had a cheat at his disposal, who knew whether this so-called "Naruto" online game was the same "Naruto" he had watched?
That was still a very big question mark.
But at this point, he could only grit his teeth and log in.
Just as Ning Feng was thinking this, a pleasant, crisp notification suddenly rang out without warning:
"Detected that the level 3 world, 'Hokage World,' has opened. Initial opening duration: 8 hours." "Would you like to log in!? (PS: Players who previously participated in the 'Hokage World' closed beta will have their closed-beta accounts synced.)"
Seeing the notification, Ning Feng's lips curled slightly.
So what if those closed-beta players already had a head start!?
Ning Feng immediately gave a firm nod and silently said, Log in!
"Login device host's intent detected. Preparing to log in..." "Successfully connected to 'Hokage World'..." "Arriving at the character creation platform shortly... Please wait!"
Another series of pleasant, crisp notifications sounded. Ning Feng froze, then suddenly felt a powerful suction force tugging fiercely at his body, giving him the sensation of traveling through space and time.
When Ning Feng opened his eyes again, he was already in a space resembling a platform, packed with countless players about to enter the Hokage World.
"Iwagakure! We're one teammate short! Hurry over if you want to log in together!"
"I've got a secret strategy guide for Iwagakure. We can start by becoming disciples of the Kage-level powerhouse Deidara! Learn his explosive clay techniques!"
While Ning Feng was thinking, a student wearing another school's uniform had already begun calling out to the other students. Clearly, like Ning Feng's Qinglong High School, they were logging in at this time too.
"Hmph, what's so great about Deidara? We're planning to start in Otogakure and learn ninjutsu directly from Orochimaru, the strongest boss in Hokage World!"
The speaker was a student from another high school, his words full of provocation.
Sure enough, as the two called out, quite a few students immediately ran over, hoping to join their pioneering teams.
Ning Feng, however, did not move. He even felt like making a snarky comment...
Any Naruto fan knew that Deidara had already defected from Iwagakure and joined the Akatsuki, to say nothing of Orochimaru, who was only interested in Sasuke's body...
These players going there would be no different from throwing themselves away.
Still, Ning Feng could not be bothered to offer any advice. Instead, he walked straight up to the platform, ready to create his character.
Just as he was about to do so, Wang Qiang's somewhat contemptuous voice drifted over casually. "Ning Feng, don't think I wouldn't dare beat you up. Every time I see you with Liu Yue in the game, I'll beat you up."
"Liu Yue belongs to me, Wang Qiang. Got it?"
As he spoke, the lackeys beside Wang Qiang gave Ning Feng haughty looks, as though even being Wang Qiang's dogs put them far above Ning Feng.
"Exactly! Our Young Master Wang Qiang is sure to be the first ninja at Qinglong High School to become a Genin. He has tremendous potential. He's not someone you can afford to mess with, Ning Feng!"
"Our Young Master Wang Qiang has already obtained a strategy guide for the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans. Becoming a ninja of the Yamanaka Clan isn't out of the question... You'd better think carefully, Ning Feng!"
The Ino-Shika-Cho Clans!?
Genin?
Unfortunately, Ning Feng could not be bothered to pay any attention to a hormone-fueled idiot like Wang Qiang. He simply turned and walked up to the character creation platform.
Sure enough, the next moment, an enormous map resembling a Naruto map immediately appeared before Ning Feng.
On this map, there were many ninja villages he could choose to enter.
"Please select the ninja village you wish to enter!"
Another pleasant, crisp notification sounded, and Ning Feng chose "Konoha" without the slightest hesitation.
Any Naruto fan knew perfectly well that, among all the hidden villages, Konoha was truly the strongest.
Whether in the First Shinobi World War or the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars, Konoha had fought several opponents at once.
Moreover, in every Shinobi World War, Konoha had figures who cemented their legendary status, whether it was the sex-gambling-drugs trio of Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, or Minato Namikaze and the others.
As long as he entered this hidden village, taking any one of them as his teacher would let him turn his fortunes around easily.
"Successfully selected 'Konoha'!"
The pleasant, crisp notification sounded, and the enormous Naruto map before Ning Feng slowly shrank, finally focusing on Konoha, rather like an animation.
"Player's selection of Konoha detected. You may choose the clan you wish to enter!" "1: Hyuga Clan!" "2: Yamanaka Clan!" "3: Akimichi Clan!" "4: Namikaze Clan!" "5: Orochi Clan!" "6: More."
Ning Feng frowned as he scanned the list.
These were undoubtedly all very good clans in Konoha, but entering these clans would probably be far from enough if he wanted to become a powerful ninja.
For one thing, the Namikaze Clan looked good, but it had only ever produced Minato Namikaze and had no real clan foundation.
The Orochi Clan went without saying. It had only produced a genius like Orochimaru, and no other geniuses had emerged from the clan afterward.
Without hesitation, Ning Feng selected "More"!
"More selected! You may choose to enter one of the following clans!" "7: Uchiha Clan!" "8: Senju Clan!" "9: Sarutobi Clan!" "10: ..." "11: ..."
At the sight of the Uchiha Clan, Ning Feng's eyes immediately lit up.
Ever since Konoha's founding, the Uchiha Clan had been building up its own influence within the village, possessing extremely strong clan foundations and political roots.
Even after the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, the Uchiha Clan's legend had never ended.
The Hokage World he was about to enter was very likely set before the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre. After all, if the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre had already happened, there would be no Uchiha Clan.
As for the Senju Clan... it had already declined after the brothers Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju. Although Tsunade struggled to hold it up, she could hardly stem the tide. Otherwise, the Sarutobi Clan would never have grown so powerful!
As a Naruto fan, Ning Feng knew all too well that this little village of Konoha was actually a place filled with factions struggling against one another for power and profit.
Whether he considered strength or politics, the Uchiha Clan was actually the most suitable choice!
"I choose the Uchiha Clan!"
Ning Feng's lips curled slightly.
