Tsunade eased her mood, then frowned: “So you mean, this Main God Space is the same as an employer who issues missions, and our existence called Reincarnators are ninjas who accept those missions?”
Shu nodded: “It can be understood like that, but the rewards from this Main God Space cannot possibly be equated to mere money in the ninja world.”
At the same time, the other three people had also digested the information in their minds, their expressions all changing, frantically staring at the watches on their respective wrists.
“What kind of joke is this!
What Main God Space, what Myriad Worlds!” One of the rogue ninjas patted his own head, “This must be a Genjutsu!”
The other rogue ninja gritted his teeth: “That’s right, with such a big figure like Princess Tsunade here, it’s very normal for us to fall under this kind of high-level Genjutsu. We can’t stay here, break out and find an opportunity to release the Genjutsu! Otherwise, we will all die here!!”
The two of them quickly exchanged glances with each other, they suddenly turned around, smashed open the wooden door, and ran outside.
Shu stood in place, completely having no intention of stopping them.
(Sure enough, they show up too.) Shu muttered inwardly, (No matter which version of the Main God Space it is, at the beginning of the game there will always be a few cannon fodders seeking death, this is truly an iron law in infinite flow novels.)
They had no idea at all, the truly terrifying place in this Uzumaki World was not the monsters hiding in the darkness, but the small town itself.
Running outside right now, the probability was just becoming cannon fodder for the town.
After the two people ran far away, Tsunade slowly calmed down her emotions that had just fluctuated.
She stared sharply at Shu and asked: “Brat, the information in this memory… is it true? Is it really possible to… resurrect the dead?”
“How else do you think?
Tsunade-sama.” Shu spread his hands, smiling bitterly, “In your opinion, who in the ninja world has the ability to kidnap you here without a sound, and can forcibly modify your memory without you noticing the slightest bit?
Or, do you suppose that I, a Uchiha Genin, possess the ability to cast Genjutsu of this level on a practitioner of your level?”
Tsunade fell silent.
The other party was right, this extraordinarily incredible method had already completely surpassed the scope of common sense in the ninja world.
“Tsunade-sama, at the Ninja Academy, the first lesson teachers teach us is, in any unknown environment, the most important thing one must always possess is information.” Shu looked at her flatly.
Tsunade narrowed her eyes: “What do you want to say?”
“This mission world… meaning the place called Kurouzu-cho, I know some exclusive information regarding it.” Shu looked directly at Tsunade.
“Regarding the source of this information, that is my personal secret, I’m sorry I can’t tell you.”
He paused for a moment: “How about it, Tsunade-sama? We are both Konoha ninjas, in a strange place like this, how about we cooperate?”
“I provide information to help you avoid danger, you provide power protection for my safety, and you hold the command. As long as we can survive through these 5 days, we can all obtain Reward Points, each getting what is needed, how about it?”
“Heh! Hey, brat, you’ve got a lot of nerve?”
Tsunade slightly raised her chin: “Even though these past few years I have resigned from my Konoha position, at least I still retain the status of Jonin and one of the Three Sannin! Are you sure?”
Shu shrugged his shoulders: “Tsunade-sama, take a look, is this still Konoha?”
Tsunade stared at him for a moment, finally nodding: “Fine, brat! As long as you can prove the reliability of your information! I can cooperate with you!”
“But! Just now’s incident, don’t think this is over just like that! This punch can definitely not be avoided by you, let me note it down in your debt list first!”
Shu was speechless, this was the most important point?
This woman was truly holding a grudge.
However, proving the reliability of information?
For someone like him who was very familiar with the plot, that was very easy.
Shu decisively said: “Tsunade-sama, for the sake of our smooth cooperation, please allow me to introduce myself first, I am a Konoha Genin, Uchiha Shu!”
Tsunade scanned his body from top to bottom: “A Genin in his twenties? Alright, I know, hehe! Truly an Uchiha!”
Shu was speechless, I’m really sorry for still being a Genin in my twenties!
At that moment, the woman earlier cautiously approached.
“Ehm…
excuse me, you two…
good afternoon…” The woman spoke stammering, “I…
can I come with you?
I promise I won’t run around blindly, and won’t trouble you…”
Shu observed her for a moment: “What is your name? Where are you from?”
“Takagi… Miyuki…, from Tekkawa Village in the Land of Fire.” The woman tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, her voice trembling.
Shu slightly frowned, Land of Fire?
Tsunade had been wandering around casinos in the Land of Fire for years, she certainly was pulled in from the Land of Fire.
Now coupled with this civilian also being pulled in from the Land of Fire.
The two rogue ninjas earlier should also be from the Land of Fire?
Could it be that this Main God Space’s selection method was also based on countries in the ninja world?
But looking like this, it didn’t look like the giant sphere of light in Infinite Terror, not specifically selecting those who felt despair toward the real world?
Shu temporarily suppressed this doubt into his heart, now was not the time to study the selection mechanism of the Main God Space.
“Come along.” Shu said casually.
“But I must say this first, this place is not as simple as you imagine. You may come along, and as far as my ability permits, I will help you, but if it endangers my own life, then…”
“I understand! Thank you… thank you both!” Miyuki felt like she had received a pardon, bowing repeatedly.
Shu turned around, walking out of the room first.
Tsunade glanced at him briefly, not expecting that this brat actually had a fairly soft heart.
Upon stepping out the door, the scenery right before their eyes was instantly presented.
Outside the door was an asphalt road, the sky looked overcast, and the air felt so stuffy that it made people struggle to breathe.
In front of the road stood a signpost, the writing on it slightly distorted: Kurouzu-cho.
“Sure enough, this is the place…” Shu stared at the signpost knowingly.
Tsunade came out as well, with Miyuki following closely behind her.
“Hey, brat.” Tsunade glanced at the surrounding scenery, her brows slightly furrowed, “The mission of this Main God Space is to survive in this small town for 5 days? But it shouldn’t be that simple, right?”
“Just now you said you knew information about this place, now you can say it, right? What exactly is so weird about this place?”
“Uzumaki (spiral).” Shu answered firmly.
“Simply put, the town we are stepping on right now… is a cursed place.”
“Cursed?” Tsunade raised her eyebrows, obviously not unfamiliar with the word, after all the ninja world also possessed similar dark arts, “What kind of curse?”
“A curse that cannot be explained by logic.” Shu pointed at the writing of Kurouzu-cho on the signpost, “The core of this curse, is the spiral.”
“Spiral?” Tsunade frowned, displaying a puzzled expression.
Shu continued: “That’s right, in this town, as long as you stay here, the longer the time, the more the spiral curse will sink in deeply.”
“At first it might just be environmental changes, but before long, human minds will unconsciously be pulled by the spiral, becoming distorted and crazy. Not just the minds, even the bodies will undergo horrifying mutations.”
“For example, spirals will grow on the human body, those spirals will continue to grow larger like living creatures, and finally swallow those humans alive. There are also people whose backs grow giant shells, their bodies slowly undergoing degeneration, finally turning into snail humans. There even are people twisting their bodies into spiral-shaped snake humans… anyway, the ways of dying are strange and varied…”
