The templel was actually the ancestral temple where the Uzumaki clan hung the Shinigami Mask.
Zhang Miao stood at the entrance of the temple and clearly saw three rows of grim faces hanging on the walls of the hall. There were nine in each row, a total of twenty-seven.
Looking at these hanging masks of death, the corners of Zhang Miao's mouth curled up.
"Just like in the anime, it seems that this is the right place!"
Speaking of this, he took a step forward, but just as he took a step forward, four Anbu wearing the Anbu costume and animal mask stopped in front of him.
"Without the order of the Hokage-sama, no one is allowed to enter here, including you, Uzumaki Ryunosuke!"
"I really miss this name. I haven't heard the name Uzumaki Ryunosuke for a long time!"
At this point, Zhang Miao immediately grinned at the four Anbu members in front of him.
"Hehe, for the sake of you calling out this name, I can be gentler."
At this point, Zhang Miao's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. Seeing this scene, the expression of the Anbu leader changed greatly.
"Oh no, everyone, be careful!"
"Oh no you don't!" Before his voice fell, Zhang Miao's voice rang out behind him. "Wood Style - Severe Warning!"
With four rumbling sounds, the four Anbus who had been blocking Zhang Miao earlier were now lying on the ground, unconscious.
Looking at the four ninjas lying on the ground, Zhang Miao immediately curled his lips.
"To send such weaklings to guard the temple, Grandpa Third must be really at ease!"
With that, Zhang Miao casually threw the wooden stick in his hand to the side and then stepped into the door of the temple.
However, what he did not expect was that just as his foot stepped into the door of the temple, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"[Ding! Found a precious treasure. May I ask if the boss wants to pick it up?]"
"Huh?" Hearing the system notification, Zhang Miao's eyebrows twitched and he immediately nodded. "Pick it up!"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the 27 masks hanging on the wall in front of him immediately disappeared. At the same time, the system notification rang out in his mind again.
"[Ding - Congratulations to the boss for obtaining the precious treasure - Shinigami Mask. When the boss refines all 27 Shinigami Masks, he can recruit 11-Star Pseudo-God - Shinigami!
"Hiss..."
Hearing the system prompt, Zhang Miao's eyes immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, and his eyes widened in an instant.
"Isn't the highest rating of the recruited ninja 10-star False God-level? What's going on with this 11-star Pseudo-God?"
"[Boss, you are mistaken!]"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system immediately replied.
"[The system has never said that 10-stars are god-level, 10 stars are just false gods, 11 stars are pseudo-gods, and 12-stars are the highest level true gods. After the boss recruited 233 elite ninjas in the future, he will be able to obtain the complete recognition of the world's will and become a true god! ]"
"Hahahaha... so that's how it is!"
Hearing the system's explanation, Zhang Miao could not help but burst out laughing.
"Then quickly tell me, how should I refine these Shinigami Masks? Should I consume ordinary ninja fragments?"
"Of course not!"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system immediately rejected his guess.
"Refining the Shinigami Masks requires elite ninja fragments, and they must be 7-star Kage-level and above!"
"Hiss... 7-stars and above?" Hearing the system's explanation, Zhang Miao could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. "The requirements are actually so high?"
"Yes!"
In the face of Zhang Miao's surprise, the system explained it to him again.
"[Because Shinigami is a pseudo-god level existence, the requirements are naturally very harsh. 1600 7-star Ninja Fragments are required to successfully refine a Shinigami Mask, and it requires the same Ninja Fragment to be refined successfully.]"
"This condition is indeed harsh!" After listening to the system's explanation, a trace of helplessness immediately appeared on Zhang Miao's face.
"However, compared to the 11-star Shinigami, such a price is also worth it. So how should I refine it? Does it also need my blood?"
Now Zhang Miao basically understood the nature of the system. As long as it involved recruitment, he basically needed to pay some blood, so he guessed that it was the same this time.
"Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, the system gave him a positive answer.
"[Yes, in the refining process, the boss needs to wear the Death mask that needs to be refined, and drip his blood on the Ninja Fragment used for sacrifice. One drop of blood is needed to refine a Ninja Fragment, and before the refining is complete, the Death Mask can not be taken off, otherwise even if the refining fails, you need to start over!]"
Zhang Miao: "…"
D * mn, this is taking my life!
As if sensing Zhang Miao's thoughts, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.
"[Boss, please don't worry. Based on the calculation of 20 drops of blood per milliliter, only 80 milliliters of blood is enough to refine 1600 ninja fragments. With the boss's current physique, there is no danger in using 80 milliliters of blood. No need to worry!]"
Zhang Miao: "…"
"Damn, you even calculated this clearly. How much do you want me to bleed?"
However, Zhang Miao also knew that the system was right. In his previous life, he had also offered 400 milliliters of blood. After donating his blood, he did not feel any discomfort.
Now, although his body was only a child of about seven years old, his physique was not worse than any adult. A few dozen milliliters of blood was indeed not a big problem.
"Damn, in order to accept the Shinigami itself, what's the point of bleeding a little? I'll treat it as my period every month!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao's face became a bit more firm, and then he turned to look at Kushina and the others.
"I already have the Shinigami Mask, let's go back to the village now. Kushina-san, your identity is not suitable to go out in public, so you should put on a mask!"
"Well, I know!"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Kushina immediately nodded, and then took off the mask from one of the Anbu lying on the ground and put it on her face.
Seeing her action, without needing Zhang Miao to speak again, Hizashi and Pakura took the initiative to go up and put on an Anbu mask.
After the three of them put on their masks, Zhang Miao smiled and nodded.
"Well, that's more like it. Let's enter the village. We can see Naruto and Neji sooner. And Big Sis Pakura, this is your first time in Konoha, right? After we go in, I'll take you around. It's much more prosperous than the Sungakure!"
At this point, Zhang Miao directly turned around and walked forward. After hearing his words, the three people standing behind him immediately looked at each other and smiled, and then immediately followed.
