"Hey, why didn't the Captain take action earlier? Those guys weren't even Chunin-level... how could they hide under the Captain's nose?"
"I don't know. Maybe he wanted to test those three kids."
"Hehe... they're probably Genin, right?"
…
After ensuring the area was clear, the three Anbu's members chatted for a bit.
This time, their role was to provide support... as long as they didn't expose themselves.
They already had a good idea of the mission's general outline.
Because... yesterday, Kakashi had purchased three more phones from Yuto.
Yuto was overjoyed and handed them over immediately.
Naturally, these three phones ended up in the hands of the three Anbu's members.
Elephant, the Anbu's member by Hiruzen's side, was 36 years old, which is quite old for a Ninja. But he had a playful spirit and was particularly interested in the game.
"I just checked, there's no danger around here, right?"
The other two nodded in response.
Hearing this, Elephant pulled out his phone and said, "Alright, I'm going to review the Land of Waves storyline again."
Hearing this, Tenzo had a helpless look on his face, as if saying: Hey, can you be any more unreliable?
After observing for about ten minutes, Yugao said, "Fine, I'll take another look too."
When Yugao pulled out her phone, she noticed Elephant had already started a match in the Arena.
Tenzo sighed, 'With teammates like these... whatever, I'll take a look too.'
Three minutes later, Elephant casually remarked, "You know, this thing is pretty fun. It's competitive and really helps you focus."
Yugao nodded silently. She was genuinely reviewing the storyline.
Then Elephant continued, "Haha, this opponent is so bad! What's his name? Enma, how dare you fight me when you're such a weak fighter?"
At this time, Tenzo asked in confusion: "What did you say the name?"
Elephant, startled by Tenzo's question, snapped out of his gaming trance.
His tone shifted from confusion to shock, then to fear.
"Enma...?"
Elephant was so startled that he even forgot to stay hidden. He immediately used Body Replacement Technique, and his phone fell from the tree.
As a Ninja skilled in analysis, Elephant's mind was usually sharp.
If he hadn't been so engrossed in the game, he would've figured out who that 'Enma' was in an instant.
After using Wood Release to catch the phone dropped by Elephant, Tenzo said speechlessly, "Calm down, Sandaime-sama is not here."
"Besides... as his bodyguard, you know his personality. As long as nothing goes wrong, he won't blame you."
Elephant scratched his head. Though he'd just been scolded by someone over a decade younger, he didn't mind and even thanked Tenzo for catching his phone.

Meanwhile, at Yuto's shop.
Yuto had just finished adjusting Haku and Zabuza's skills and stats.
In two days, he planned to update the game and officially release these two characters.
However, compared to his previous life's Motou Village, Zabuza's strength, like Kakashi's, had been buffed slightly.
Kakashi's skills and basic attacks had been made more stable.
Zabuza, on the other hand, had his damage increased and the feel of his normal attack is optimized. His general direction is slightly towards Momochi Zabuza's [Wandering Samurai].
With improved basic attacks, increased damage, and Zabuza's inherent Hidden Mist Jutsu mechanics...
Though still not top-tier, in the current state of the game, he was a very strong character!
As for Haku, Yuto didn't make any major adjustments. Haku's base strength was already solid and didn't need significant changes.
At most, after the official release, Yuto would look at the data and see if any numerical adjustments were needed to better fit the current meta. But that was a matter for later.
After finishing these adjustments, Yuto looked at the 490,000 ryo on his system panel and felt his fingers itch.
This was the money he'd earned from Kakashi buying three phones yesterday, plus the one he'd sold to Hiruzen earlier.
'Should I... go for a ten-pull?'
After a moment's thought, Yuto gave in to temptation and pressed the ten-pull button.

Looking at the pile of either white or green-tier items, Yuto felt a strange sense of relief.
'Well, at least there were three green-tier items.'
'A Taijutsu Proficiency Scroll, a Chakra Proficiency Scroll, and a Ninjutsu Proficiency Scroll...'
'Not bad.'
As for the white-tier items, Yuto had come to terms with them.
He had already sold five phones.
Which meant there were at least five players now.
As a gimmick, Yuto had to include rewards.
However, with his current limited stock, he couldn't give out too many rewards just yet.
Therefore, the best approach for now was to raise the reward threshold first, and then lower it later when he had more white and green items to spare...
Thus, Yuto had made peace with the fact that getting more white and green items wasn't so bad. Of course, pulling high-tier items would be great too... as long as they were useful.
As for that blue-tier item, the Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan Trial Card, Yuto still hadn't found a use for it!
Since Yuto was invincible inside his shop and rarely went out, this blue-tier item seemed a bit pointless.
Though he could offer it as a reward, for now, Yuto decided against it.

"Phew... I must've had bad posture earlier. Let me wash my face and try again."
After washing his face, Yuto tried another ten-pull...

Yuto tried his best to force a smile.
"Alright, alright... nine whites and one green again? Is this green a guarantee one?"
Without another word, Yuto went for another ten-pull.

'Nine whites and one green...'
Yuto glanced at the results and immediately closed the interface.
'Two ten-pulls in a row, both nine whites and one green...'
'Is my luck really that bad today?'
Yuto looked at the remaining 190,000 ryo on the interface and gritted his teeth, "Whatever, one last time!"

Seeing nine white-tier items in a row, Yuto was on the verge of laughing out of frustration.
'So, the last one's white too? Wait... there should be a guaranteed green, right?'
Yuto speculated, though he wasn't too confident.
The final light appeared. And it wasn't green.
Just as Yuto was about to close the interface, he suddenly realized something.
'Wait, that light wasn't white either? Let me take another look.'
