that day, the shinobi had learned about how bad the situation was in susukino, it was at this moment that ren had decided that it had gone on for long enough, he used his voice chat function to directly contact every shinobi guild that was currently on the Japanese server,this brings us to the current situation,

ren was standing on a stage while there were over 5000 shinobi located in front of him,

"as you all know, we along with the players of a pc game called elder tale have been transported to this world that looks similar to the said game," he said but was interrupted by a shinobi in iwa clothing,

"what do you mean 'similar'? , the players that i talked to said that this is the world of elder tale" he asked to which yuuji stepped forward,

"what he meant is that this is not a game world, for example, things that are not possible in the game are actually very possible, the best example can be found by examining the reports that we received from some of the shinobi from susukino, in our game if players try to do something that is sexual or of other such natures, their account is immediately banned and the avatar freezes in place, but according to the reports that we received, some unnamed shinobi from a major guild had....assaulted NPC and some newbie adventurers, they got away with it without any problems, that is not all though, we got reports that some of our fellow shinobi in India had managed to create a motorbike, something that was not possible in the game, that is why, after analyzing numerous reports worldwide, we have come to the conclusion that this is indeed a different world, and very much real" he said to the stupefied crowd,

"What happened to the unnamed shinobi???" asked an angry kunoichi to which ren grinned viciously,

"they are right now locked in a secure facility for now, but i got reports that one of the shinobi guilds in china is gathering those with the Uzumaki subclass to create a sealing scroll to lock away rouge shinobi until they repent, if not, well the scroll is capable of functioning indefinitely thanks to the nature chakra seals they are preparing" he said to which many of the shinobi who were having thoughts of going wild immediately halted their thoughts,

"The reason i called all of you here is that the 10 major shinobi guilds from around the world, including me, have come to a unanimous decision that we will be joining forces under a single banner,our primary goal will be to first locate every single shinobi on the planet and make sure that they are all safe and sound, the secondary objective is to make sure that we are able to live in this world for the foreseeable future, that is why we have decided that all the shinobi under the role will from now on work under the banner of the shinobi alliance" he said to which the gathered players started to talk among themselves, after an entire two hours of debate, all the shinobi agreed to do so and synchronized their friends list with ren and yuuji who had already synchronized theirs with the every other guild master throughout the world, this way, a network was formed where every shinobi throughout the world would be able to share and retrieve information instantaneously,

"now that it is settled, the shinobi alliance has proposed a ranking system for each city that exists in this world, just like in the series, those between the levels of 0 to 50 will be called genin, they will be responsible for information gathering and sabotage, those between 51-100 will be chunin, they will be in charge of the communications between the shinobi worldwide, they will also be responsible for patrolling the city for crimes, those between 101-200 will be jonin, these are our heavy hitters, in case of an emergency or a situation where fights are inevitable, they will shine, those between 201-300, will be the kage, there may be multiple kage per city, but the majority of the power will lie with the kage with the greatest combat power, as you all know,level has nothing to do with that, so this is the ranking that we have come up with" he said to which the shinobi nodded,

if shiroe was here he would definitely be shocked at how well organized they were, even though they were in the same situation, the shinobi had already managed to create a global status quo while the adventurers were all moping around doing nothing, however the truth was that the shinobi were already used to such situations where they had to face the unknown,

naruto VR was infamous mainly because of two things, the way it allows for blood graphics and other such gory imagery to exist which they insisted was important to simulate reality, the other thing was how unpredictable the game was, there were occasions where a number of players were thrown into a hidden dungeon with challenges impossible to beat, there were also incidents where thousands of players were suddenly abducted from whatever they were doing in-game to a battlefield where they will have to quickly make a command chain between completely unrelated people and fight an incoming army of organized shinobi, due to the sheer ridiculousness of the developers, the shinobi had developed a mindset where every second of their life, they were completely alert and had extreme awareness of their surroundings, even in real life, so it was no surprise that a governing body had already formed when the catastrophe had only struck a day ago,

after that two people who were also above level 200 were called forward to serve as kages, one was a man wearing Kumo uniform and a girl wearing Kiri uniform,

the man introduced himself as Igor, and the girl mistakenly introduced with her real name of Asuna, but thankfully, no one aside from ren and yuuji along with Igor were around to hear the name, her username was also Asuna to which the three people facepalmed, think how she had managed to become such a high-level shinobi with such a mindset,

"so what are you guys going to do now??" asked Igor, he was a tall man with shark-like features, he had the subclass of hoshigaki, this made him perfect for underwater missions,

"We had found an adventurer called shiroe, we find him to be interesting and maybe a potential ally and liaison between the shinobi and the adventurers, so we have decided to follow them to susukino where supposedly one of their friend's guild member is being held captive" he said to which he nodded, Asuna then came forward and said,

"i will be going with you," she said to which ren shook his head,

"as of right now, our city has four kages, i and yuuji will be going to susukino, that means that there will only be two kages left in the city, although a global governing body is already set up it never hurts to be cautious, so i will be depending on you two to keep things running while we are gone" he said to the beautiful girl, Asuna had chestnut brown hair and chocolate brown eyes she was also a beautiful woman, she had the rare subclass of Senju, she nodded at his logic and stayed behind,

------------------------------------------------------------

the next day,

at the entrance to the highway, we can see three people waiting for someone,

"Just how long are they going to make us wait??" shouted a man with the guardian armor to which the enchanter replied,

"i already added them to my friend's list, it shows that they are already near us and moving at unimaginable speeds," he said in astonishment, just he completed his sentence, two people appeared out of nowhere dressed in shinobi attire,

"Sorry for the late, i had to meet with some of my friends" ren lied smoothly to which shiroe nodded,

they summoned their griffons to ride them to susukino, shiroe had Akatsuki sit with him, he then offered another griffon flute to the shinobi duo but they refused,

"it is okay shiroe, we have our own versions of summons," yuuji said to which ren nodded,

under the intrigued eyes of the trio,yuuji and ren went through a series of hand seals and shouted together,

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!!"
