After exiting the ninja recruitment interface, Charles immediately opened his ninja panel.
In the ninja panel, three ninja avatars were illuminated: A-Rank ninja Might Guy, B-Rank ninja Naruto Uzumaki, and C-Rank ninja Ao.
All three ninjas were extremely powerful. Charles calculated that he only needed to activate one battle slot to summon all three of them.
Naruto Uzumaki could be fused with the previous version of Naruto using Ninja Cards, and it wouldn't occupy a battle slot.
Moreover, when recruiting Might Guy, the system would reward an additional battle slot for completing the third team, so there was no need to spend extra gold to unlock it.
Therefore, considering all this, he would only need to open one battle slot for the Mist Village's Ao.
Looking at the three ninjas in front of him, Charles's gaze fell on Ao first. Although Ao was rated as a low C-Rank ninja in the ninja card evaluation, his true strength was that of a seasoned Jonin.
The fact that he accompanied Mei Terumi to participate in the Five Kage Summit also showed his strength in the Mist Village.
Clicking on Ao's avatar, Charles saw his information:
C-Rank Ninja: Ao, Fragments 11/10, Recruit?
Recruit!
Ding! Congratulations Charles Doyle, for successfully recruiting a one-star C-Rank ninja, Ao.
The next second, Ao appeared in front of Charles. He stood there, wearing the Mist Village headband, with his blue hair standing tall. He wore a black eye patch over his right eye, and his accessories were a pair of seals engraved with seals.
Opening the ninja details, Charles first checked the ninja's skills.
Ao: C-Rank Ninja
Level: One Star
Basic Attack: Taijutsu combined with Water Bullet Attack!
Substitution Jutsu: Wood Substitution
Skills: Byakugan, Water Release: Water Formation Wall (Water Release: Water Bullet Rain), Water Release: Water Dragon Palm.
Byakugan: Jump backwards and leave behind a water clone, then perform hand signs to release Byakugan, enhancing one's own perception ability. (Note: Ao's water clone will explode and attack enemies, and Ao's Byakugan has a range of one kilometer.)
Water Release - Water Formation Wall: Manipulate nearby water to create a Thorid wall that can not only block enemy attacks but also attack enemies using water flow.
Water Release - Water Bullet Rain: Create a dark cloud and condense a large number of powerful water bullets to attack enemies from the sky.
Water Release - Water Dragon Palm: Infuse a large amount of chakra into water and condense it into a dragon shape, fiercely attacking with both palms.
Looking at Ao's three skills, Charles was quite satisfied. Enhancing his Byakugan and obtaining Water Release ninjutsu, including the water clone, would significantly strengthen his abilities.
And Ao's ninjutsu power was not weak, with a considerable area of effect, which could be used for attacking groups.
Clicking to receive the ninja, the amount of chakra in Charles's body increased by 1 card again, reaching 136 cards of chakra. At the same time, he felt his Byakugan's visual acuity being strengthened again, but there was still some distance from Tenseigan.
Ao's ninjutsu knowledge was also instilled into Charles, allowing him to go further on the path of ninjutsu. The title of the Ninjutsu Professor would soon be taken away by Charles.
After recruiting Ao, Charles's gaze fell on Naruto Uzumaki.
Clicking on Naruto Uzumaki's avatar, Charles saw his information:
B-Rank Ninja: Naruto Uzumaki, Fragments 40/40, Recruit?
Ding! Congratulations Charles Doyle, successfully recruited a two-star B-Rank ninja, Naruto Uzumaki.
The next second, a picture appeared in front of Charles. Naruto Uzumaki had grown up, becoming a sixteen-year-old young man. He had changed his yellow outfit that and made a fist-pumping gesture.
Opening the ninja details, Charles first checked the ninja's skills.
Naruto Uzumaki: B-Rank Ninja
Level: Two Stars
Basic Attack: Taijutsu combined with multiple Shadow Clone attacks!
Substitution Jutsu: Wood Substitution
Skills: Rasengan, Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu - Descend, Wind Release: Rasengan.
Rasengan: Create a shadow clone to quickly create a Rasengan containing a large amount of chakra and charge forward to attack the enemy.
Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu - Descend: Perform a forward thrusting uppercut. If successfully hitting the enemy, it will create two shadow clones to jump out and grab the enemy, and the main body will follow up with a knee strike from above.
Wind Release - Rasengan: Create two shadow clones to help create a Rasengan in the form of a shuriken, then charge forward and release the Rasengan energy to severely damage the enemy.
Looking at Naruto Uzumaki's three ninjutsu, aside from the physical attacks, the other two were very satisfying to Charles. Both the Rasengan and Wind Release - Rasengan were powerful offensive techniques.
Moreover, due to being produced by the system, Naruto Uzumaki didn't have to worry about his arm being damaged from using Wind Release - Rasengan, and he could use it multiple times.
As for the issue of not being able to throw out the Rasengan, after recruiting Sage Mode Naruto Uzumaki, this problem would be directly Thorved.
However, Charles needed to Thorve one more problem, which was to use the Rasengan and Wind Release: Rasengan directly without using shadow clones. After all, Naruto Uzumaki loved to use shadow clones for these techniques.
Clicking to receive the ninja, Charles's chakra capacity increased by 5 cards again, reaching a total of 141 cards, and Naruto Uzumaki's ninjutsu knowledge was also instilled into Charles's body.
At this moment, there was still one A-Rank ninja left in the ninja panel, and Might Guy had not been recruited yet.
Clicking on Might Guy's avatar, Charles saw his information:
A-Rank Ninja: Might Guy, Fragments 55/40, Recruit?
Ding! Congratulations Charles Doyle, successfully recruited a two-star A-Rank ninja, Might Guy.
The next second, a picture appeared in front of Charles. Might Guy was wearing a green Jonin vest with a green tight-fitting shirt inside, as he forcefully kicked out.
Opening the ninja details, Charles first checked the ninja's skills.
Might Guy: A-Rank Ninja
Level: Two Stars
Basic Attack: Taijutsu attack!
Substitution Jutsu: Wood Substitution
Skills: Leaf Hurricane, Dynamic Prelude, Morning Peacock.
Leaf Hurricane: Perform three attacks with astonishing speed and strength, consisting of low, mid, and high attacks.
Dynamic Prelude: Launch a powerful flying kick forward, causing immense damage.
Morning Peacock: Activate the Eight Inner Gates - Gate of Life, delivering a series of fiery punches to the enemy, like the flames of a peacock opening its tail.
Looking at the A-Rank ninja Might Guy in front of him, Charles knew that this was not his full strength.
Might Guy was already shown in three ninja cards, namely A-Rank Might Guy, Gate of Joy Might Guy, and Great Ninja War Might Guy. According to the nature of the game, there would definitely be another S-Rank Dead Gate Might Guy in the future.
However, even just the two-star Gate of Joy Might Guy was already one of the elite Jonin. If promoted to five stars, just with the Gate of Joy alone, he could become a Kage-level powerhouse. If he fused with the Gate of Life, his strength would become even more insane.
Clicking to receive the ninja, Charles's chakra capacity increased by a whopping 15 cards, reaching a total of 156 cards, and the power of the Eight Inner Gates was also bestowed upon Charles. With this, he could now open the Gate of Joy.
Ding! Congratulations Charles Doyle, successfully recruited all members of Team Three, and obtained the title "Strongest Taijutsu Master- Team Three!"
Rewarded with one additional battle slot!
As Charles successfully recruited Might Guy, Thor, who was drinking in the court of Jotunheim, looked towards Charles's direction, "This guy, his strength has actually increased again."
Charles felt a surge of power as he increased his chakra capacity by 21 cards, which now accounted for one-seventh of Charles's immense chakra.
Though it was only one-seventh, the quantity was still enormous, leaking a portion of Charles's aura and catching Thor's attention.
Thor finished his beer in one gulp and muttered to himself, "No, I can't indulge like this."
He extended his hand, and Mjolnir flew into his grasp. He needed to train and practice.
He couldn't afford to fall too far behind Charles.
Meanwhile, Charles glanced at the title reward from the system for Team Three but didn't pay much attention. Everything was within his expectations, and it saved him over forty thousand gold coins, which was quite good.
However, because they were in Jotunheim, Charles couldn't easily summon people, so he didn't continue operating the system. Instead, he prepared to train his newly acquired ninjutsu and taijutsu.
However, instead of entering the training ground for practice, Charles came to the outside world. He wanted to test the destructive power of his ninjutsu and taijutsu in the real world.
Exiting the system space, Charles arrived on an open field outside the palace.
Gazing at the vast expanse of land before him, Charles clenched his fists and shouted, "Eight Inner Gates, Gate of Opening: Open!"
Instantly, a tremendous aura erupted from Charles's body, his already fearsome chakra reaching terrifying levels with the activation of the Eight Inner Gates. Just opening one gate caused a sudden gust of wind to rise from the ground.
"Eight Inner Gates, Gate of Rest: Open!"
With the second gate opened, green chakra poured out, forming a cyclone swirling around him, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack.
At this point, Charles had only opened the second gate, and there were no changes in his meridians.
"Eight Inner Gates, Gate of Life: Open!"
"Eight Inner Gates, Gate of Pain: Open!"
"Eight Inner Gates, Gate of Closing: Open!"
"Eight Inner Gates, Gate of Joy: Open!"
Charles sequentially opened the Eight Inner Gates up to the sixth gate. The majestic chakra transformed into a green tornado soaring into the sky, shattering the earth, and sending rocks flying.
It wasn't until he opened the fourth gate that Charles's body began to change due to the massive increase in chakra, and by the time he reached the sixth gate, only veins bulged on his forehead.
On the other side, Thor, who was training, saw the terrifying energy in the distance, his face changing color, but he didn't pay attention and continued his training.
Feeling the power within him, Charles was confident that with his current chakra capacity, he could take on Mephisto's clones single-handedly.
Leaping high into the air, Charles clenched his fists and shouted, "Morning Peacock!"
With a roar, he swiftly swung his fists, sparks flying through the air as his fists created a barrage of punches. Each punch formed sparks, which joined together like a peacock's tail, raining down on the nearby hillside.
Each punch that landed created a massive fist-sized pit, surrounded by flames. As Charles threw the last punch, a huge flame descended from the sky.
The hill in front of him was completely obliterated, leaving behind a massive crater.
Satisfied with his work, Charles looked at his masterpiece. If this move hit Mephisto, it would kill him on the spot.
After testing his taijutsu, Charles became interested in the techniques beyond the seventh gate, such as Daytime Tiger, but he decided to end his taijutsu training and experiment with his newly learned water release ninjutsu.
Under Charles's support of massive chakra, the effects of the water release ninjutsu were even more terrifying than those used by Zabuza. Both the quantity and range of the Water Bullet Rain were greatly increased.
As for the Water Dragon Palm, it was even more terrifying. The water condensed with chakra seemed endless, like an endless ocean. The water dragon it formed was also immense.
However, with great power came great chakra consumption. Originally, an A-rank ninjutsu required only a fraction of a card's worth of chakra, but Charles boldly used an entire card's worth to unleash the ninjutsu, greatly increasing its power and range.
With the added boost from the Dragon Ring, he instantly transformed into a seasoned water release ninja.
As for Naruto's Rasengan, Charles found it somewhat troublesome. For now, he needed to use it with shadow clones like Naruto did. To use it single-handedly, he needed to practice and master it himself.
With that in mind, Charles and Thor immersed themselves in their respective training. Meanwhile, they awaited the arrival of the Asgardian spaceship once again.
