When Zhang Miao finished refining all the Ninja Fragments, the sky outside was already bright.
Looking at the horizon that had already turned white, Zhang Miao took off the refined Shinigami Mask and threw it into the system space. Then he stretched and yawned.
"Aoo... I have already refined two of the 29 Shinigami Masks. Let's talk about the rest later. I'll first collect the Ninja Fragments of Tsunade and then come back to sleep!"
At this point, Zhang Miao immediately opened the door and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Aunt Tsunade, come and draw the lottery!"
As Zhang Miao shouted, footsteps immediately sounded from the end of the corridor. A pretty figure quickly appeared in front of Zhang Miao and bowed slightly to him.
"Your Holiness, Tsunade-sama slept very late last night and has not woken up yet, so please wait a moment. I will wake her up now!"
At this time, the person in front of Zhang Miao was none other than Shizune.
Since the last time she came back from Konoha, her attitude towards Zhang Miao had changed 180 degrees. That respectful attitude was basically the same as treating Tsunade.
The system notification was the best proof.
"[Ding! Congratulations Your Holiness, you have received the total obedience of Shizune. Today, you will receive 5-star Jonin, Shizune Ninja Fragments x10!]"
After hearing this notification, Zhang Miao immediately raised his eyebrows and waved his hand at Silence.
"There's no need to call Aunt Tsunade first. I'm hungry. Go get me some breakfast first!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Shizune immediately responded and then turned to make breakfast.
Looking at her leaving figure, Zhang Miao's face suddenly showed a smile.
"What a qualified little maid. By the way, system, how many of her Ninja Fragments have been collected?"
Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system's voice immediately sounded in his mind.
"[Reporting to Your Holiness, there are currently 470 of Shizune's fragments. Would you like to recruit her?]"
"Tsk... this..." After hearing the system's question, Zhang Miao smacked his lips and then shook his head. "Yeah, let's not do it today. It's better to use then for the lottery!"
Shizune's Ninja Fragments could be used to draw the ninja fragments of Tsunade and Dan, whileTsunade's and Dan's could be used to obtain Hashirama's fragments.
Therefore, in order to recruit Hashirama as soon as possible, Zhang Miao felt that it was better to use Shizune's fragments for lottery.
In the past, after Zhang Miao issued the order, the system would immediately carry it out, but this time, it was somewhat abnormally silent for a moment and then gave Zhang Miao a hint.
"[Your Holiness, please allow this system to kindly remind you that every time you recruit a ninja, there will be a world that is on the verge of collapse that will merge into this world, and you will also receive the recognition of some of the World's Will!]"
"Huh?" After feeling the system's abnormality, Zhang Miao first frowned, "I know all of this. You don't have to remind me again, and what you want to say is not this, right?"
"[Your Holiness is wise!]"
After hearing Zhang Miao's words, the system complimented him first before continuing.
"[Perhaps for His Holiness, recruiting a high-star ninja will greatly increase your strength. So you want to quickly recruit high-star ninjas to increase your strength, but in the eyes of the system, whether it is high-star or low-star, only recruiting more ninjas is the most important!]"
"Oh?" Hearing the system's words, Zhang Miao seemed to think of something. He immediately raised his eyebrows, "Is it because of the World's Will?"
"[Yes, it is because of the World's Will!]"
Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system answered him again.
"[Although the World's Will can't directly bring benefits to His Holiness or increase your strength, this benefit is indirect. In His Holiness' understanding, it is the protagonist's aura. It allows you to do everything smoothly, including recruiting high-star ninjas.]"
"The protagonist's aura?"
After hearing the system's explanation, Zhang Miao immediately nodded.
"Hmm, I understand. Luck is also a part of strength. In the future, I won't be biased anymore. Regardless of the star rating, whoever can be recruited first will be first recruited. Let's start from Shizune. Help me take out all her ninja fragments!"
"[Yes, Your Holiness!]"
Seeing that Zhang Miao had listened to his advice, the system's voice was filled with joy. It immediately took out Shizune's fragments, while Zhang Miao bit his finger and began to form seals.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
With a low shout from Zhang Miao, a burst of white smoke suddenly rose from the ground. When the white smoke dissipated, a Shizune wearing Konoha's Ninja uniform appeared in front of him.
The Shizune in front of him looked to be about thirty years old, ten years older than the Shizune one who ran to cook just now. There was less immaturity on his face and more determination.
Looking at the Shizune, Zhang Miao's mouth suddenly curled up.
"Ooh, the version from the Fourth War? Well, it is true that only her Fourth War version is worthy of the evaluation of a 5-star Jonin!"
Just as Zhang Miao thought of this, the system notification sounded in his mind.
"[Ding! "Congratulations to His Holiness for recruiting 5-star Jonin Shizune and obtaining the chakra reserve of this Ninja. Because this Ninja is a medical ninja, and His Holiness already has medical expertise, so the system will randomly select a gift for His Holiness. Selection in process, please wait…]"
Zhang Miao already knew that Shizune belonged to a medical ninja category, so he was not surprised after hearing this system notification.
In other words, he didn't care much about recruiting ninjas under the level of 7-star. After all, for the current him, ninjas under the level of 7-star were basically not much help to him.
Under Zhang Miao's indifferent attitude, soon, the voice of the system rang out in his mind again.
"[Ding! Extraction completed. Your Majesty has obtained a specialty of Shizune. You can apply a special poison on the blades or hidden weapon. As long as an enemy is injured by the poison blade, they will soon faint or even die.]"
After hearing the system prompt, Zhang Miao's face immediately revealed a bit of a smile.
"This specialty is not bad. It just so happens that Chiyo gave me the Swordmaster. If I apply poison on its blades, it might be useful in the future. Alright, system, show me the list of Shizune's specialties!"
"[Yes, opening the list…]"
After hearing Zhang Miao's words, the system's voice immediately rang out.
As the system's voice rang out, the specialties list of Shizune appeared in front of Zhang Miao.
[Option 1]
[Poison fog: Turn the chakra in your body into a special chemical substance and spit it out from your mouth. When this substance comes into contact with the air, it will instantly turn into a highly toxic purple fog. Inhaling it for even just a bit would be fatal, a unique skill of Shizune.]
[Note: Biological toxin, you deserve to have it!]
[Option 2]
[Apply Poison: Able to apply a special poison on blades or hidden weapons. As long as one is injured by the poison blade, they will soon faint or even die. ]
[Note: This specialty has been obtained by His Holiness. Unable to be chosen again. ]
[Option 3]
[Medical Ninjutsu: A type of Ninjutsu that can save the dying and heal the wounded. This includes healing, hemostatic, mystical palm, extraction techniques, and healing techniques.]
[Note: High-level medical Ninjutsu can save many seriously injured and dying patients. ]
After seeing the three special abilities of Shizune, Zhang Miao's eyes immediately lit up.
