Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Hiashi Hyuga didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he left the Senju clan's territory.

"He seems to really like Hinata. Could Hinata be some kind of 'chosen one' in the future?"

Hiashi Hyuga looked at his daughter, unable to reconcile this timid, shy girl with the so-called 'savior'.

After hesitating for a moment, Hiashi Hyuga summoned the guards who were waiting outside and instructed them to take his daughter home. He then headed to the Hokage Building to report what he had seen that day.

If it were anything else, it wouldn't be so bad.

However, such a major event as the complete annihilation of the Cloud Village's top combat force must be reported immediately.

To prevent the village's higher-ups from being unaware of the situation and making impulsive decisions that could lead to irreversible consequences.

Even though they had already decided to rely on Yoruichi Yagami, Hiashi Hyuga, with his traditional mindset, still did not want any turmoil to occur within Konoha.

……

Inside the Hokage's office.

After hearing Hiashi Hyuga's report, everyone thought that Hiashi Hyuga must have gone mad, or he must have been under some kind of genjutsu.

How could someone possibly use space-time ninjutsu to instantly appear in Kumogakure, thousands of miles away, quickly destroy Kumogakure, and then bring the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure to Konoha?

"Lord Hokage, I witnessed this with my own eyes, and I even confirmed it with my Byakugan!"

Hiashi Hyuga said urgently, "The amount of chakra those two ninjas possessed was definitely not that of ordinary ninjas; only Jinchuriki could have such a massive amount of chakra! And the Fourth Raikage—I would never mistake that face!"

"Thus, the sun is full."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and said, "Draw the people you see and confirm their identities first."

The portraits of the 'Kage' or other prominent figures from other major ninja villages had already been obtained by Konoha and circulated among the Jonin.

The purpose is that, in the event of an emergency, if one of our Jonin encounters an insurmountable opponent while carrying out a mission, they can abandon the mission to save their lives.

However, the portraits that have been circulated are not complete.

By having Hiashi Hyuga draw the people he met and comparing that drawing with the information held by the Anbu, we can roughly determine whether the information Hiashi Hyuga received is credible.

Of course, even if the portrait matches, Hiruzen Sarutobi would still be inclined to believe that Hiashi Hyuga was deceived.

However, further investigation is necessary.

Drawing portraits is a required course for ninjas. Although Hiashi Hyuga didn't go out on missions often, he still mastered these basic skills very well.

He quickly drew portraits of the Fourth Raikage, the two Jinchuriki, and Tsuchida.

Even the way they were bound by the Wood Release vines was depicted vividly.

"Danzo, come and take a look too." Hiruzen Sarutobi called over Danzo Shimura, and the two of them looked at the portrait drawn by Hiashi Hyuga together.

"This is Tsuchida, the advisor of the Cloud Ninja. He is a strategist like Shikaku Nara. He has the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai and is quite strong."

"This... is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. In the previous war, it was he who cooperated with the Fourth Raikage and put a lot of pressure on us."

"The last girl, the Anbu didn't have any information about her."

The two compared the four portraits one by one and quickly finished looking at them.

Based on Hiashi Hyuga's 'testimony,' it is inferred that the strange girl is the Two-Tails Jinchuriki who has never been on the battlefield.

As for the other three, they all corresponded to the identities of the powerful Cloud Ninjas known to the Anbu.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura exchanged a glance.

It's necessary to confirm this matter.

“The chakra of a Jinchuriki is the easiest to identify,” Shimura Danzo said without hesitation. “I’ll have Oto investigate.”

"No, let Kakashi go instead." Hiruzen Sarutobi rejected Danzo Shimura's suggestion without hesitation.

Since the opponent might be an exceptionally powerful individual, even if the possibility is very low, we must still treat this matter with caution.

Danzo Shimura's reckless style of doing things could potentially endanger Konoha if he angered the other party, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"Hiruzen, the Root is the most suitable for this kind of thing!" Danzo Shimura said angrily.

That damn monkey, he just won't give him a chance to do anything.

If we can find a clue about that mysterious person, we might be able to use their power.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't give him the slightest chance.

I've borne the darkness of Konoha, should I be suppressed by you for the rest of my life?!

"This matter is decided!" Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at Danzo Shimura and said coldly, "Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzo Shimura felt his blood rush to his head, his mind reeling, and he blurted out instinctively, "Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

After saying that, Shimura Danzo forgot what he had come here for and slammed the door shut as he left.

boom!

Chapter 231 The Surprising Hero Template Ability

Just when the entire Hidden Leaf Village was in chaos because of him.

Yoruichi Yagami, however, paid no attention to the outside world's disturbances and stayed at home, focusing intently on studying the system.

After destroying Kumogakure for the second time, Yagami Yoruichi had more than ten million gold coins, and he could spend them much more freely.

I redeemed all the available hero templates and hero skills, totaling over one hundred heroes.

However, the vast majority of these hero templates did not provide much help to Yoruichi Yagami.

The few that were helpful were all expected.

For example, Veigar's ability to infinitely stack spell power and Thresh's ability to infinitely stack spirit are very powerful, but they are still limited by 'rank' and are not truly infinite growth.

If your rank cannot be improved, your attributes will also be stuck at the limit and cannot be improved any further.

Even the abilities of some hero templates are limited by the hero's own rank. Even if Yagami Yoruichi's rank is higher, it cannot raise the upper limit of these abilities.

For example, Miss Fortune's ability, Gun Modification, has a ceiling of "Mortal Level" and can never cross into the "Transcendent" realm.

By ninja standards, at best he would be an elite Jonin, not a Kage.

This ability is completely useless to Yagami Yoruichi, who has already reached the level of being invincible below the Six Paths, which is equivalent to wasting this gold coin.

But since Yagami Yoruichi has plenty of money, he doesn't care at all.

With over a hundred hero templates and four skills for each hero, the total cost was only a little over four million.

For Yoruichi Yagami, who has tens of millions of dollars in her hands, although it is not a small amount, it is enough to allow her to squander it.

Excluding heroes belonging to the [Minion Summoning] category and heroes whose [Rank] has not yet met the exchange requirements, there are a total of 132 hero templates that can be exchanged.

Most of these either didn't help much or made Yoruichi Yagami's abilities more 'comprehensive,' but they couldn't bring about any fundamental change.

However, there were a few things that gave Yagami Yoruichi a pleasant surprise.

The passive skill of [King of Ruin - Fawkes], [Destiny is Decided], allows Yoruichi Yagami to steal one of the enemy's abilities after defeating them.

Although you can only choose to keep one, once you replace it, the previously acquired ability will disappear.

However, if used well, this can also be an opportunity to break through to the sixth level.

The moment she gained this ability, Yagami Yoruichi immediately thought of Nagato's Rinnegan.

If we use the "Decree of the Sovereign" to seize the bloodline limit of the Rinnegan, we might be able to break through the bottleneck of the Six Paths level.

Another surprise came from a hero who didn't seem particularly powerful.

The hero [Mechanical Pioneer - Victor] was judged by the system to be of the [Extraordinary Level].

His passive skill, Glorious Evolution, allows him to choose to forgo all kill rewards in exchange for Hextech Shards when he defeats an enemy.

The 'arcane power' contained within the Hextech Shards, according to the system's description, can almost replace all special energies in the League of Legends universe.

For example, it can be used as an energy source for 'ascension rituals'.

Or perhaps manufacturing 'Hextech Gear', etc.

The specific usage requires very strong scientific research capabilities, which is not an area that Yagami Yoruichi is good at.

Even simply using Hextech Shards to replace materials that are unavailable in the ninja world but crucial for certain missions can be very effective.

For example, it can be used to set up ascension ceremonies to fulfill the [Minion Summoning Quest] requirements of the heroes Nasus and Crocodile.

If you can sign a contract with these two heroes, you will immediately have two servants with super-shadow-level strength.

After the ascension ceremony is completed for them, their status may even rise to 'demigod level'.

If the principles of the ascension ritual can be thoroughly understood, even Yoruichi Yagami herself could try to use this method to break through the bottleneck of the Six Paths level and advance to a higher level.

Unfortunately, surprises like Viktor's are rare, if not unheard of.

Aside from Viktor, among all the other hero templates with a rank lower than [God Messenger], there were only a handful that Yagami Yoruichi truly felt were of great use.

Sion, Thresh, Veigar, and several other 'infinite scaling champions'.

Besides these, there is only one other hero who is also classified as a "mortal-level" hero: Twisted Fate.

His ultimate skill allows Yoruichi Yagami to extend her perception range to the entire ninja world for a short period of time, and to teleport to any location within that range with very little chakra.

Despite the cooldown and the inability to teleport other players, this skill is still incredibly powerful.

What does the entire ninja world mean?

It can be said that once Yagami Yoruichi remembers your chakra signature, no one in the entire ninja world can escape her pursuit and sneak attacks!

In comparison, those "god-level" hero templates were strong enough, but they didn't offer Yagami Yoruichi many extra surprises.

Some of them even made Yagami Yoruichi feel a little disappointed.

For example, [Time Guardian - Ziran] is not as Yagami Yoruichi imagined, as he could grant her the ability to control 'time'.

The effects of these skills are not weak, but they have absolutely nothing to do with truly controlling time.

After spending an entire night reviewing the various abilities of over 130 heroes, Yoruichi Yagami finalized her training plan.

Sealing techniques, as well as abilities involving time and space, are of top priority.

Secondly, for other [God-level] heroes who do not involve time or space abilities, all their skills need to be upgraded to the perfect level in the shortest possible time to see if any useful extra rewards can be triggered.

Based on the hero templates she had previously redeemed, Yoruichi Yagami was pretty sure that once all of a hero's skills and proficiency were maxed out to "Perfect," either a limited-time quest for that hero would be triggered, or an extra reward would be given out directly.
