Chereads / Konoha: Sage Body / Chapter 165 - Chapter 165: Add Points, the Ultimate in Power?

Chapter 165 - Chapter 165: Add Points, the Ultimate in Power?

"Unfortunately, there are only four Enhancement Points. It would have been nice if the person who used Hiramekarei also had a name in the original story,"

thought Kirito with a slight regret as he looked at the four messages that appeared on the system bar.

He had directly eliminated five of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen this time, but in the end, he had only received four Enhancement Points. The reason for this must be that the Mist Ninja who first appeared in the original plot using Hiramekarei was a typical passerby who only appeared once in Might Guy's memories and had no role in the plot.

However, four Enhancement Points were not bad at all, and it was enough to allow him to add points to Sage Mode, Level 4 Chakra Nature Change, or other powerful skills again.

No matter which skill he adds points to, his strength will be able to improve very well.

Among these skills, Kirito's favorite is naturally Sage Mode.

The level 2 Sage Mode has already benefited him greatly. It has been more than a year since he reached level 2 Sage Mode, and in this year or so, his control over Sage Chakra has greatly improved, and the stability of the Sage Chakra he created has also greatly improved.

Because of this, there has always been a flow of Sage Chakra within his body, which has been imperceptibly improving his physical fitness.

After more than a year, his physical fitness has improved very well, as evidenced by the fact that even though he has not learned the Eight Gates of Death Technique, his strength and speed can still easily keep up with Nawaki, who has opened two Gates.

In other words, his normal strength and speed are comparable to that of the Nawaki that opened the second gate.

This improvement in physical fitness is still accumulating at a steady rate. If he upgrades Sage Mode again, the rate of improvement in physical fitness may be even faster, and his control over natural energy and Sage Chakra will be further enhanced.

Perhaps the quality of the Sage Chakra he creates will be improved again.

Just as high-quality Chakra can form incredible Chakra crystals, Sage Chakra also has a difference in quality.

Higher-quality Sage Chakra will definitely increase the ninja's strength even more.

"I have a Sage body, and the power of Sage techniques is definitely the best power support for me to cross the threshold of the shinobi level. The Ketsuryūgan and Byakugan also really need to be nourished and strengthened with more powerful Sage Chakra,"

Kirito mused as he thought about the various benefits of Sage techniques.

The abilities of the two Bloodline Limit eyes, the Ketsuryūgan and Byakugan, have both been greatly enhanced after being nourished for a long time by Sage Chakra.

For example, Ketsuryūgan's illusionary abilities, combined with his Level 4 Yin Release, can now simultaneously confuse five elite jōnin.

In the battle just now, his ability to so easily slay the Five Ninja Swordsmen of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was due in no small part to Ketsuryūgan's illusionary abilities.

"Kirito, are there any other enemies around?"

Hatake Sakumo's words interrupted Kirito's train of thought, and he immediately snapped out of his reverie.

He closed the Ketsuryūgan and used his spiritual perception to take a look around, before shaking his head and saying, "There aren't any more."

"Then you seal up these guys' bodies first, and then we'll leave here immediately,"

Hatake Sakumo said immediately, pointing his finger at the five ninja swords and six Kirigakure corpses nearby.

Not to mention the five ninja blades, which had various uses, these six Kirigakure corpses were extremely valuable, and Konoha would likely be able to obtain a lot of information about Kirigakure from them.

Therefore, as soon as the battle had just ended, Hatake Sakumo collected the five ninja swords and the six bodies as a matter of priority.

Kirito did not object, and immediately took out a Summoning Scroll from his body and used it and the Summoning Technique: Absorption to seal the five ninja swords and the six bodies of the Mist Hidden Leaf ninja inside.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the White Fang squad quickly crossed the river and successfully entered the Land of Rain.

Then, under the guidance of Kirito, the White Fang squad used the technique of transformation to disguise themselves and secretly infiltrated a small town full of flowers near the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.

...

Amegakure Village, deep underground, the headquarters of the Amegakure intelligence department, Abyss Division, in the leader's office.

Kirito's White Zetsu clone, Hattori Masanari, was here, or rather, just a shadow clone of the White Zetsu clone. He was receiving intelligence from the border from one of the Ame-Nin of the Abyss Division.

The content of the intelligence was precisely about the White Fang squad sneaking into the Land of Rain, and it also included the news that the border troops led by Kizakura had been wiped out.

"Have you found out who killed Kizakura and the others?"

Kirito asked.

The people of Amegakure are not idiots. It is obvious that someone deliberately framed the White Fang squad for the deaths of Kizakura and the others. The Amegakure people also know that the White Fang squad is currently crossing the river, and that they clashed with Kirigakure during the crossing.

After more than a year of development, the Abyss Force led by Hattori Masanari, played by Kirito, has made good progress, with tentacles reaching deep into every aspect of the Land of Rain.

Due to limited funds and personnel, in order to develop the Abyss Division in a short period of time, Kirito chose to professionally train the members of the Abyss Division.

Therefore, the Abyss Division was specifically divided by Kirito into the Intelligence Department, the Interrogation Department, the Combat Department, and the Logistics Department.

Among them, the Abyss Division serves as the intelligence department of the Amegakure village, and naturally has the most personnel within it. Thousands of people have graduated from professional training, not including the even larger number of peripheral members.

It is precisely because of the existence of these people in the Intelligence Department that the eyes and ears of the Abyss Division can reach all parts of the Land of Rain and even some of the surrounding countries.

The border area is precisely where the Abyss Division's intelligence forces are more concentrated.

Today, every border unit in Amegakure has elite members of the Abyss Division's intelligence department secretly dispatched in the past. Each of them masters the Rain Tiger at Will Technique, a reconnaissance jutsu that can exert tremendous reconnaissance capabilities in the Land of Rain.

Therefore, by combining the time of death of Onikura and the others with the time the White Fang squad crossed the river, the intelligence officers of the Abyss Division knew that the deaths of Onikura and the others were unrelated to the White Fang squad.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Masanari, the bodies at the scene were disposed of by the enemy. The survivor was under a hallucination technique from the beginning and didn't see the killer's face clearly. However, according to the investigation by our people, it is believed that there were two killers, both of whom were ninja proficient in Yin Release Technique,"

The Abyss Division ninja respectfully replied.

"So who do you think deliberately framed Kiba of Konoha for the deaths of Onikage and the others? Without a doubt, the Konoha ninja squad that crossed the border was led by Konoha's White Fang. The murderer clearly wanted to use our hands from Amegakure to get rid of this ninja squad."

Upon hearing this, Kirito tapped his fingers on the table and asked:

"My subordinate is stupid, please give me some pointers, my lord."

The Abyss Division ninja bowed his head respectfully.

"Just say what you were going to say. You're the head of the Intelligence Department now. If I have to deal with everything, what's the point of having you around?"

Kirito said coldly, his face instantly turning stern.

After becoming the leader of the Abyss Division, there were many benefits. He could mobilize the power of Amegakure to secretly collect various resources for him. For example, the Chakra metal used to create the two Sacred Beast puppets was collected using the power of Amegakure.

In the Land of Rain, Amegakure represents the country. The daimyo and all that is basically a figurehead, and this is even more the case nowadays.

In many small countries in the ninja world, it is very common for the village head to be the daimyo.

Therefore, his position as the intelligence chief in Amegakure, second only to Hanzo, is very powerful, and he is fully capable of mobilizing the country's apparatus to work for him.

However, there are also many disadvantages, and that is that there are many things for him to deal with, most of which are trivial matters.

Because of this, he finally understands how Sandaime usually feels when he is in the Hokage's office, that is, there is never an end to the things that need to be dealt with.

Dealing with all kinds of intelligence of a country and even intelligence information from other countries with one's own strength, even if this person is extremely capable, they will definitely be exhausted.

Kirito is not a person with a strong desire for power, he prefers to pursue strength, and naturally does not intend to do everything himself, but unfortunately there are no available talents around him at the moment.

So far, he has only found a female secretary who can help him with various daily chores.

Her name is Violet, a chunin, good at summoning various things or ninja beasts to fight using summoning techniques. She looks a lot like Violet Sunflower from Pain's Six Paths.

The Abyss Division ninja in front of him was one he had personally promoted. His abilities were considered to be among the best for someone his height, not too tall, not too short, and not too much or too little. The only thing he was good at was being obedient, listening to everything he said, and lacking a strong opinion.

"I really don't know,"

the Abyss Division ninja said, trembling, lowering his head even lower.

He knew his own abilities only too well. Although he had worked hard to improve himself since Kirito promoted him to the position of Intelligence Department Director, he really couldn't rely solely on the few clues he had to deduce who was framing Konoha White Fang.

To be honest, the Abyss Division had very little information on this Konoha White Fang. They only knew that he was good at using the Shunshin technique and knife techniques, and they had not gathered any information on his relatives, enemies, missions performed, etc.

"Alas, I won't make this difficult for you. Pass the word down: if you find any suspicious figures that resemble Konoha's White Fang or any ninja skilled in the yin technique, report them immediately. Remember, you must not take action, just follow them from afar."

Kirito sighed as he saw this.

"Ha..."

—as if he had received a great favor, the Abyss Division ninja quickly used the shunshin technique to leave.

After the Abyss Division ninja left, Kirito took out a blank scroll from the drawer, wrote some words on it, closed it again, and then handed it to his secretary, Violet, along with the intelligence scroll that had just been delivered on the desktop, saying, "Violet, you go and give them to Lord Hanzo."

"Yes, Lord Masanari."

Violet immediately took the two scrolls with both hands and quickly left the office.

When Violet left, a cold light suddenly appeared in Kirito's eyes, but it quickly subsided, and he resumed his almost endless work of stamping.

A short while later, in the Amegakure chieftain's office, Hanzo received the two scrolls that Kirito had given him from Violet. He quickly opened them one by one and read them.

"Konoha's White Fang? This is a tough one. But I remember this guy as a loner, and now he's become a jōnin instructor, leading three younglings with him. It seems that these three younglings are no pushovers, both in terms of strength and status."

Hanzo thought in surprise after reading the content on the two scrolls.

As the existence that supported Amegakure like a pillar, naturally he had fought with Hatake Sakumo, who was known as the strongest assassin in Konoha, many times during the period when Konoha and Amegakure were at war.

His impression of Hatake Sakumo was that of a death-dealing being.

Once he sets his sights on someone, it basically means that person's time is about to expire.

He was almost killed by Hatake Sakumo back then, and when he thinks back to that life-or-death slash of his, a vague pain starts to appear somewhere in his buttocks.

Soon, the gloom on his face disappeared, replaced by a smile.

Because he figured it out. Judging from the current situation of the war between Konoha and Sunagakure, the small team of ninjas led by Konoha's White Fang was most likely not headed for him, the leader of Amegakure. They just wanted to pass through the Land of Rain and enter the Land of Wind to cause trouble for Sunagakure.

Now that the war between Konoha and Sunagakure was mainly focused on the Land of Rivers, Konoha's White Fang was using the Land of Rain as a shortcut to the Land of Wind, which was a way of going behind enemy lines to stick it to Sunagakure.

However, this small team of ninja led by Konoha White Fang is in big trouble. They have only just entered the Land of Rain, and they have already been framed by the enemy and attacked by a powerful enemy while crossing the river.

Although the White Fang squad has now successfully entered the Land of Rain, in his opinion, the squad will inevitably face various attacks in the future.

"The attackers were probably not after Konoha's White Fang, but the young kids in his team. Unfortunately, Hattori Masanari's Abyss Division's intelligence capabilities are still too weak to obtain important information about other ninja villages."

Hanzo gave it some thought and realized that there was a very important piece of information hidden in this intelligence.

Konoha White Fang was originally an assassin, a professional assassin, and he was highly skilled. As long as the leaders of the other ninja villages were not stupid, they would definitely not send someone to assassinate him.

However, the ninja squad led by Konoha White Fang was assassinated, which shows that the target of the assassin was not Konoha White Fang, but someone else in the squad.

Hanzo thought about this and couldn't help but feel curious about it.

Then, he looked again at the scroll that Kirito had written on.

There wasn't much on the scroll, but it was probably saying that Konoha White Fang was most likely not here for Amegakure, and that he must not be used as a pawn and inexplicably dragged into a war between great powers.

"With his knowledge, he must be aware of the hidden message. Why didn't he write it out here? Is he worried that I'll come up with unnecessary ideas?"

Hanzo wondered.

To be honest, he was really curious about who Konoha White Fang was protecting now, or who needed Konoha White Fang, a Kage-Level powerhouse, to act as a babysitter.

There must be some huge secret hidden in this.

If he could get what was in this secret, could it make the Land of Rain strong and powerful quickly?

Making the Land of Rain strong is the meaning of Hanzo's survival today.

For the time being, the Land of Rain is still far from recovering its national strength before the start of the war with Konoha, but thanks to his efforts and those of Hattori Masanari, the situation in the Land of Rain is improving, which is obvious to see.

However, he is well aware that the reason the Land of Rain has improved so quickly in such a short period of time is actually related to a series of plans that Hattori Masanari has made and promoted single-handedly, and has little to do with him as the leader of the Amegakure.

For example, improving the relationship between Iwagakure and Amegakure, allowing the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain to resume normal trade, and giving many unemployed people in the country back their jobs.

Because Hattori Masanari single-handedly contributed to these relationships, the people of Iwagakure only recognize Hattori Masanari himself, and are indifferent to the real leader of Amegakure. The people of the Land of Rain are also very grateful to Hattori Masanari, and there are still legends circulating among the common people that he is the savior of the Land of Rain.

For example, the book Spirit of the Rain, which is now popular among many young people in Amegakure, was also written by Hattori Masanari alone. After reading this book, many young people in the village are brainwashed and worship Hattori Masanari.

Another example is that the abundant funds that Amegakure now receives were still obtained by Hattori Masanari, which has gradually caused many elderly people in the village who originally supported him to change their position.

Who is the person who has made the greatest contribution to Amegakure now?

It goes without saying.

Every time Hanzo thought about this question, an uneasy feeling inevitably arose in his heart, along with a deep sense of envy.

He was actually jealous of Hattori Masanari, a subordinate he had defeated.

What a disgrace.

Hanzo really wanted to get rid of these shameful emotions, but found that he simply couldn't.

How was he supposed to get rid of these shameful emotions?

There was only one answer.

That was to make a greater contribution to Amegakure than Hattori Masanari.

The information hidden in the intelligence in front of him might be an opportunity.

"Violet, what are the recent movements of Hattori Masanari?"

Hanzo looked at the female ninja in front of him and asked with a pleasant expression.

He trusted Hattori Masanari, but not 100%, especially after he gave Hattori Masanari a lot of autonomy in the intelligence department, this trust was rapidly shrinking. Therefore, he had to send some of his trusted subordinates into the Abyss Division to keep an eye on Hattori Masanari's movements.

Violet is the spy he secretly sent to Hattori Masanari's side.

Her true identity is actually a disciple he privately accepted a year ago, and she has been secretly trained and groomed, so her loyalty is absolutely reliable.

"Reporting to the teacher, Lord Masanari Hattori has recently been busy developing the Abyss Division's intelligence network into the surrounding Land of Grass. There have been no particular movements, but I am not sure if Lord Masanari Hattori in the Abyss Division base is really him,"

Violet heard this and hesitated for a moment before looking up at Hanzo and answering honestly.

"I understand. Go back and tell Hattori Masanari that I know what to do,"

Hanzo said, looking Violet in the eye and nodding.

"Yes, teacher."

Violet received the reply and quickly left, but a heavy expression was revealed on her face, as if she was preoccupied with something.

Kandachi.

Hanzo suddenly spoke up once Violet had left.

The next moment, a long-faced ninja with a red birthmark on his face appeared in front of Hanzo.

Hattori Kandachi, a jōnin of the Amegakure village and personally a member of Hanzo's clan, was praised in the original plot as the right-hand man of Hanzo of the Salamander and was deeply trusted by Hanzo.

However, the reason Kandachi Hattori is now deeply trusted by Hanzo is because he played a major role in Hanzo's incident of purging spies and traitors in Amegakure Village. He personally uncovered many traitors and was personally very clean.

"Hanzo-sama, please command,"

Kandachi said respectfully.

"Immediately send someone from the ANBU to find Konoha's White Fang and find out who he has with him,"

Hanzo ordered.

Kirito had obtained funds for Amegakure Village, and as the leader of Amegakure, Hanzo naturally had the right to distribute them. In order to suppress Hattori Masanari and the Abyss Division under his command, he invested most of the funds allocated to him in the formation of the Amegakure ANBU.

The Amegakure ANBU is a ninja armed force that belongs entirely to Hanzo of the Salamander. Most of its members are elite veterans who have been in battle before, and they are powerful and loyal to him.

Therefore, within Amegakure, the Amegakure ANBU is currently the strongest armed force in the village and the greatest support for Hanzo's rule of Amegakure.

Kandachi Hattori is currently the head of the Amegakure ANBU.

"Huh?"

Kandachi immediately replied, and then quickly used the water shunshin technique to leave.

"Hattori Masanari, is your true body in Amegakure? If not, where is it? And who exactly are you?"

Shinda immediately followed, and Hanzo muttered.

...

Meanwhile, in the Water Country, Kirigakure Village, the Mizukage Building, the Mizukage's office.

Fuguki Suikazan was kneeling on the ground, head bowed, his face showing fear.

The reason for this was that the Sandaime Mizukage sitting in the chair in front of him was opening his eyes, which had been narrowed, and staring at him, exuding a terrifying aura of killing intent and chakra fluctuations.

As the bearer of the ninja sword Samehada, Fuguki Suikazan was already a top jōnin of Kirigakure, but even now he still felt deeply helpless in the presence of the Sandaime Mizukage. He had a strong intuition that if he dared to make a move or say the wrong thing, his head would be blown off.

"Tell me, what happened? You seven went to kill a ten-year-old brat, and five of you died, along with Namizuki Yao, who went to support you. Tell me, is that Senju Hashirama's grandson really that powerful?"

The Sandaime Mizukage suppressed his anger and said coldly.

He originally disagreed with sending the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to assassinate Senju Nawaki, but the Blood Mist faction, led by Fuguki Suikazan, insisted on going, and even threatened to reduce funding to Kirigakure Village. In order to maintain the stability of the village, he had no choice but to allow them to go.

To be honest, he was actually quite worried about another Senju Hashirama appearing in Konoha. If they could get Senju Nawaki, the grandson of Senju Hashirama, killed, it would be a happy ending for everyone.

However, the mission failed, and in the end, only two people survived: Fuguki Suikazan and Raiga Kurosuki, who had not yet returned.

Jinin Akebino, Kushimaru Kuriarare, Biwa Jūzō, Jinpachi Munashi, Mangetsu Hōzuki, and Miwazuki Yoru died.

Among them, Jinin Akebino, Biwa Jūzō, Mangetsu Hōzuki, and Miwazuki Yoru were all his people.

Losing four elite jōnin at once and also losing five precious ninjas swords, Sandaime Mizukage is now feeling extremely bad and really wants to find someone to vent his anger.

He really wishes he could use the Great GunShot technique to blow a hole through the bastard Fuguki Suikazan.

If it weren't for Kushimaru Kuriarare, who supports the Blood Mist faction, and Jinpachi Munashi, who are both close to Fuguki Suikazan, he would have thought that this was a conspiracy by the Blood Mist faction to target the conservatives.

"My Lord Mizukage, it's all because of those bastards in the Intelligence Department who made a serious mistake with their intelligence. The information on Konoha White Fang and Senju Nawaki was relatively accurate, and we were able to easily stall Konoha White Fang and successfully carry out the assassination attempt on Senju Nawaki. We almost succeeded, but the information on Tosaka Kirito and Uchiha Chizuru was a serious mistake.

Especially that brat Kirito Tosaka, his strength is ridiculous, not at all like the intelligence said that he only knows sealing techniques and Magnet Release.

He also knows Puppet Technique and has a defensive puppet with extremely strong defenses. After activating the chakra shield on his body, he can ignore Raiga Kurosuki's Lightning Release jutsu at all times. That puppet can also release powerful Lightning Release jutsu. Biwa Jūzō was killed by the Lightning Release jutsu released by his puppet.

In addition, he also has another Bloodline Limit other than Magnet Release: a pair of Bloodline Limit eyes that can manipulate blood and use illusion techniques. Manipulating blood gives me a very dangerous feeling, and his ability to use illusion techniques is astonishing. After Biwa Jūzō died, the other four people and I fell into his illusion just for a moment after making eye contact with him.

If I hadn't had the help of the Samehada, I would have broken out of the illusion the first time, and I would have been killed by Konoha White Fang in the process."

Fuguki Suikazan heard the words of the Sandaime Mizukage, and his restless heart finally settled down. He knew that the Sandaime Mizukage would not kill him, and quickly put the blame for the failed mission on the intelligence department.

In fact, he was telling the truth. If it weren't for the useless intelligence department, which provided seriously flawed intelligence that led to poor judgment and insufficient preparations, how could the Seven Ninja Swordsmen have suffered such a crushing defeat?

"He also knows puppet techniques and another unknown technique called Eyes of the Bloodline Limit. Are you telling the truth?"

Sandaime Mizukage was shocked when he heard Fuguki Suikazan's words.

He naturally paid attention to Kirito Tosaka, a Konoha genius who had risen to fame in Konoha in recent years, but the information he had obtained was that the other party was a disciple of Uzumaki Mito, mastered a formidable Seal Technique, personally developed the Magnet Release Jutsu, learned the Spirit Transformation Technique, and was also a medical ninja.

As for Puppet Technique and the Bloodline Limit Eyes, he really doesn't know anything about them.

But if what Fuguki Suikazan Kaito said is true, then the potential that this ten-year-old kid named Kirito Tosaka is showing right now is obviously much more dangerous than Senju Nawaki.

If he already has so many powerful techniques at the age of ten, what will he be like when he grows up?

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can have someone search my memories."

Fuguki Suikazan didn't believe Sandaime Mizukage, and for the sake of his life, he was desperate.

As the initiator and leader of this mission, if it failed, even if it was due to a major error in the intelligence information provided by the intelligence department, he would be hard to absolve of blame. Six elite jōnin died, and five shinobi blades were lost. This guilt could only be borne by him.

The Blood Mist Sect does not need losers.

As the current leader of the Blood Mist Sect, Fuguki Suikazan knows the style of the Blood Mist Sect only too well. After the failure of this mission, he will definitely face internal purges within the Blood Mist Sect, even if he is the leader. If he wants to survive, he will have to defect to the side of Sandaime Mizukage.

"Hmph, you're quite clever,"

Sandaime Mizukage sneered, hearing Fuguki Suikazan's unspoken meaning.

Despite his ridicule, he ultimately accepted Fuguki Suikazan's defection. He was very eager to see the arrogant Blood Mist ninja discover that Fuguki Suikazan had defected to the conservatives led by him, and the expression on their faces and the reaction they would have.

However, the fact that Fuguki Suikazan had done so reflected that what he had just said must be true, and he had not deliberately exaggerated for the sake of his life.

"After the deaths of Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Uzumaki Mito, Konoha has actually produced such a talented ninja. Konoha is truly the cradle of genius. On the contrary, Kirigakure is still embroiled in internal strife, causing new talent to wither away. Where should Kirigakure go from here...?"

Sandaime Mizukage said bitterly to himself.

Soon, he gathered his thoughts and said, "Yagura."

As soon as the words fell, a young ANBU ninja carrying a strange rod-shaped weapon on his back appeared in front of Sandaime Mizukage. He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "Mizukage-sama, please command."

"Take your gear and go down there. Make sure you check the authenticity of the information from his head,"

Sandaime Mizukage ordered.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama,"

Yagura immediately replied, then stood up and left the Mizukage office with Fuguki Suikazan.

As Fuguki Suikazan left the Mizukage building, his formerly submissive appearance immediately changed, and he resumed his usual arrogant and uninhibited appearance.

He bent slightly, looking down at Yagura, who was only at his stomach height, and revealed his sharp teeth, threatening, "Yagura, you'd better know what to do. Investigate what you should, and don't touch what you shouldn't. Otherwise, you should know what will happen to you."

Upon hearing this, Yagura's baby face suddenly revealed an understanding smile, and he chuckled, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Hahaha, I'm glad you know. Then I wish us a happy collaboration in the future, hahaha,"

Fuguki Suikazan laughed loudly, then patted Yagura's shoulder firmly with his hand, smiled, and walked past Yagura, going ahead.

Yagura looked at Fuguki Suikazan's back, then lowered his head. The kind smile on his face instantly disappeared, and his purple eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a hint of murderous intent.

But when he looked up again, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he quickly followed Fuguki Suikazan in front of him.

...

At night, in a bustling border town in the Land of Rain, some members of the White Fang Squad were disguised as ordinary merchants and checked into a high-class inn.

The owner of this high-class inn was backed by Konoha.

After checking in, the White Fang Squad could finally relax a little, as their nerves had been on edge ever since leaving the village. The four of them took a nice bath, ate a sumptuous meal, and then successively returned to their rooms to rest.

As soon as Kirito returned to his room, he immediately cast a sealing barrier to block his senses, then once again summoned up his Attributes Panel.

He looked at the numerous options on the Attributes Panel, and his gaze quickly settled on Sage Mode.

Now that he had four Enhancement Points, there was an option with a "+" sign at the end, which had not been there last time.

Next, his gaze fell on the Wisdom attribute, which had now reached 10.

After this period of study, his Wisdom attribute has automatically increased by one point. Among them, 5 represents intelligence, and the rest is knowledge.

I wonder if level 10 is the limit of the Wisdom attribute level. And this time, there is no "+" sign after this option.

"Is it because there aren't enough Enhancement Points, or has it reached its limit?"

Kirito looked at the Wisdom attribute option, puzzled.

After accidentally breaking through to Level 4 with the Yin Release Technique last time, he was now very interested in the Wisdom attribute option. Coupled with the fact that the two Sacred Beast puppets had significantly increased his strength, allowing him to release five ninjutsu at the same time, he was even more interested in this option.

Moreover, he still hoped for a buy-one-get-one-free deal like this to happen again.

After all, the two times he had added points to the Wisdom attribute, his Yin Release Technique level had increased.

Unfortunately, there was no "+" sign for this option this time.

Kirito was silent for a moment, and then he refocused on Sage Mode Level 2, whispering, "Choosing it should be the best option for me right now..."
