[Sound Resonance] [Reverse Membrane] [Flying Scythe Kick] [Black Cryo] [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] [Chaotic Heavenly Puppet]...

One treasure after another flashed before his eyes, making Ye incredibly envious. Unfortunately, he only had enough points to redeem a portion of them, which was what troubled him the most.

"With my current combat strength, I can hold my own against Jiraiya in a one-on-one fight. But once I enter a group battle, these ninjas' chaotic secret techniques can cause me a lot of trouble."

"Moreover, with my current strength, the pre-cast animation for releasing a high-level breakthrough is too long. Without prior preparation or assistance from others, it is simply impossible to use it on the front lines."

"Ultimately, it's because I lack the means to unleash my power."

That is, the release of the Zanpakuto!

Chapter 19 Half-price Special Offer

The Shinigami's power level is actually not low; compared to the Hokage before the Otsutsuki era, it even has a bit of a "dimensional reduction" feel to it.

However, the release of the Zanpakuto definitely occupies a significant place in this power.

The release of a Zanpakuto not only grants the Shinigami a power burst several times greater, but its special abilities are also as powerful and unique as the Sharingan's Mangekyou Sharingan.

The power of these Zanpakuto—Kyoka Suigetsu, which controls the five senses; Ryujin Jakka, which burns everything; and Hyōrinmaru, which creates ice and snow—is undeniable.

However, Ye currently does not possess this skill.

the reason is simple.

No points!

According to the system's rules, Yoru can only give Asauchi a name by exchanging for the system's Zanpakuto.

Only in this way can the night be freed from the Zanpakuto.

Although Yoru has an Asauchi, Asauchi costs 100,000 yen each, and even the cheapest Shikai of a Zanpakuto costs tens of thousands of yen. Moreover, it is unique and cannot be changed once it is named.

In other words, once Yoru has named the Asauchi sword given to him by the system, he will need to buy another Asauchi sword when he exchanges for the Shikai and Bankai of other Zanpakuto.

One hundred thousand!

This is insane!

One hundred thousand yuan—that's enough for a hundred draws in the gift box!

I can draw the Flowing Blade and Flowing Fire from a hundred gift boxes! (The clod of earth's mysterious confidence)

Yoru doesn't care about trash Zanpakuto, and he can't afford good ones. Plus, whenever he has a few points, he goes to open gift boxes. All these reasons have prevented Yoru from owning a Zanpakuto of his own.

However, with 160,000 yen in hand, Yoru could certainly choose a decent Zanpakuto.

"But which one should we choose?"

The exchange list contained a vast array of Zanpakuto, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or even millions, making it dazzling to look at.

Suddenly, he noticed a Zanpakuto.

"System, why is this 'Sleeve White Snow' so eye-catching?"

Sode no Shirayuki, an ice-attribute Zanpakuto, is hailed as the most beautiful Zanpakuto in Soul Society because of its captivating appearance after release. Its Shikai ability is to lower the wielder's body below freezing point, freezing everything it touches.

This Zanpakuto is fairly well-known among Bleach characters, but overall, it can only be considered average.

But right now, in the list of Zanpakuto available for exchange, this Sode no Shirayuki stands out conspicuously, as if its text has been bolded.

[The host has been detected to have a high affinity with the ice attribute. Therefore, when purchasing a Zanpakuto for the first time, choosing an ice attribute Zanpakuto will entitle the host to a 50% discount.]

"???"

Half price?

No, if you have an event, why don't you just mark it up directly and give it a prominent announcement?

So if I don't ask, then it means there's nothing there?

"Wait, high affinity with ice attribute... System, tell me the truth, is it because you've been playing tricks on me that I haven't awakened Ice Release yet!"

[The host may choose another Zanpakuto and forgo this offer.]

good good!

"Not only is he heartless, but he's also a dog."

Ye silently added to himself. But giving up was out of the question; it was half price!

The original price of Sode no Shirayuki is 100,000 yen, but with the half price, it's only 50,000 yen. Anyone who doesn't take advantage of such a bargain is a complete bastard!

"Wait, if it's all ice-attribute Zanpakuto, then wouldn't that mean..."

Suddenly, a light shone in Ye's eyes, and he quickly found his target.

Zanpakuto: Hyōrinmaru (Shikai)

Item level: SS

Item Description: This item is named 'Hyourinmaru' for an unactivated Asauchi.

Price: 500,000 points.

With a thought, the system notification suddenly sounded.

[Exchange for 'Zanpakuto Hyōrinmaru (Shikai)' requires 250000 points. Exchange now?]

Insufficient points to redeem.

It's half price, holy crap!

Ye stared wide-eyed, but unfortunately he didn't have enough money to exchange for Hyōrinmaru.

Or should we exchange it for Shirayuki first?

The thought only flashed through my mind for a moment before being dismissed by the night.

Putting aside the difference in combat power between Sode no Shirayuki and Hyōrinmaru, just the half-price discount alone makes it impossible for Yoru to choose Sode no Shirayuki.

If he exchanges for Hyōrinmaru, he will make a pure profit of 250,000, but if he exchanges for Sode no Shirayuki... it won't be a profit of 50,000, but a huge loss of 400,000!

Since there's already a 50% discount, we should naturally make the most of it.

"Just bear with it a little longer, I'll exchange it for Ice Wheel later... Wait, this chakra!"

"call out!"

The words have not yet fallen.

With a whooshing sound, a burly figure suddenly appeared behind Ye.

"what?!"

Ye was startled and instinctively tried to activate his Instant Step, but the shadows connecting his feet made it impossible for him to move an inch.

The next moment, he was sent flying like a cannonball by an elbow strike.

boom!

It's Jiraiya!

The pale hair revealed the newcomer's identity. After locking onto the presence of the night, Jiraiya attacked with all his might, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Night's body smashed a wall to pieces, creating a cloud of dust.

The next moment, a rumbling sound came from all around the ruins, and countless parasitic insects emerged from them, like a whirlwind, and invaded the dust-covered land.

"Secret Technique: Insect Tornado!"

The dark swarm of insects, like a tornado, completely engulfed the area where Ye was, splattering blood and tearing flesh apart!

In just a few breaths, that area was completely devoured by the swarm of insects!

"Jiraiya?!"

The three ninja swordsmen who were resting in the attic rushed out immediately, and their expressions changed instantly when they saw Jiraiya and the Konoha ninjas.

Before they could prepare for battle, the sound of wind breaking rang out, and several dark figures shot towards them.

"Kunai?!"

The three held their respective ninja swords. Pipa Juzo immediately leaped up to dodge the kunai, but a strange scene unfolded. Behind the two kunai that were attacking him, two more kunai followed, arriving first and crashing into the first kunai.

Suddenly, the kunai changed direction and attacked again.

At this moment, Pipa Shi was hiding in mid-air with no foothold, making it impossible for him to dodge again!

"How can this be?!"

"Thunder Escape·Thunder Fang!"

The surging lightning struck down all the cunning kunai, helping Juzo Biwa escape a calamity. Holding Raiga Raiga, the black hoe, looked solemnly at the person standing on the top of the pavilion.

A figure wearing a Konoha Jonin jacket, arms crossed, and blood-red eyes calmly watched the three of them.

"Uchiha..."

far away.

Jiraiya released his Wind Release technique, dispersing the smoke and dust. After confirming that the Parasite Insects had completely devoured Minazuki Yoru, he turned his gaze towards them.

behind him.

Aburame Shiki, Yamanaka Inoichi, Hyuga Hizashi, and Nara Suzaku were on high alert.

Upon seeing this scene, the three ninja swordsmen's hearts sank to the bottom.

Chapter 20 The Tragic Caged Bird, Slaying Hyuga Hizashi!

The three ninja swordsmen looked extremely grim; they never expected the Konoha ninjas to arrive so quickly.

Moreover, the scale of the event will be enormous!

Not only did Jiraiya, one of the three legendary Sannin, personally lead the team, but those who came with him were also absolutely elite.

"The head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku of the Uchiha clan, known for his fierce eyes, and Hizashi Hyuga, the younger brother of the head of the Hyuga clan."

Suigetsu Hozuki gripped Samehada tightly in his hand. As the head of Kirigakure's intelligence department, he was naturally very familiar with these Konoha elites, but precisely because of this, fine beads of cold sweat began to appear on his forehead: "And there's Aburame Shiki, the head of the Aburame clan; Yamanaka Inoichi, the head of the Yamanaka clan; and the elites of the Nara clan..."

"Are you all crazy? You've sent all your main forces here! Aren't you afraid that the Mist Village will take advantage of this and break through the front lines?!"

"Water escape!"

"Kirigakure no Jutsu!"

The Loquat Ten Collections immediately formed a mudra.

A thick fog spewed from his mouth, instantly enveloping everything around him and completely obscuring his vision.

"You want to use the Hidden Mist Technique to limit the Sharingan's detection?"

The moment the mist filled the air, the three ninja swords merged directly into it, but the Konoha side remained completely unconcerned.

The Mist Concealment Technique used by Juzo Biwa is extremely powerful. Even the Sharingan with three tomoe cannot see through the mist, even though its user is the 'Evil Eye'.
