Night Light carefully examined the lottery options.
"1 - Stress Reflex (One Breakthrough); 2 - Chunin-level Chakra (Stackable); 3 - Wire Manipulation Shuriken Jutsu (Beginner)."
Wire Manipulation Shuriken Jutsu should be a technique for manipulating Ninja tools with wire.
After the Longsword: Sewing Needle passed through, it carried a steel wire. The sewing needle could pierce enemies, and the steel wire could cut off their legs, making it quite powerful.
Chunin-level Chakra?
The one who killed him was Kuriarare Kushimaru, and he had expected to gain Jonin-level Chakra, but it was surprisingly little.
Perhaps his current body was simply unable to refine or bear Jonin-level Chakra, which was why the system changed it to Chunin-level Chakra.
Missions often lasted for months, and most of the time he ate soldier pills, which kept him from starving but made him lose a lot of weight.
Chakra is a mixture of physical and spiritual energy; if the body deteriorates, the Chakra amount won't increase much.
However, the first option greatly interested Night Light.
Stress Reflex (One Breakthrough) is a special ability that improves reaction speed.
A person's reaction speed is between 0.2s and 0.4s. Night Light had tested himself and found his reaction speed to be about 0.2s.
Kuriarare Kushimaru is a speed-type Ninja; his movements are extremely fast, and he manipulates his long needle and steel wires with great swiftness.
If he drew Stress Reflex a few more times, he could also become a speed-type Ninja.
He created a Shadow Clone and had the Shadow Clone pick up a stone.
The Shadow Clone suddenly let go, and he tried to catch the stone.
After several attempts, Night Light obtained the average height at which he could catch the stone.
Then, Night Light chose Stress Reflex (One Breakthrough).
His occiput tightened, and his entire body's skin and flesh contracted, feeling as if an electric current stimulated his whole body.
His reflexes had changed.
He then had the Shadow Clone drop the stone without warning.
In his perception, the stone's fall seemed to slow down.
At the same time, his muscle reaction speed also increased.
This time, he caught the stone at a much higher position.
After several experiments, Night Light roughly deduced that his reaction speed had increased by 0.05s, to about 0.15s.
It is said that the reaction speed of some Olympic champions is around 0.15s.
Not bad, not bad, this is a huge improvement.
Ninjutsu can be learned, Taijutsu can be practiced, but innate reaction speed is very difficult to improve significantly.
It is said that Minato Namikaze has the fastest reflexes in the Ninja World.
It's useless for ordinary Ninja to learn Flying Thunder God; even if they instantaneously move in front of an opponent, if their reaction speed is slower than the opponent's, they will be slapped away.
Minato Namikaze is a thousand-mile pursuit, while others are just a thousand-mile delivery.
The plot unfolded as it did in his previous life.
Two Konoha ANBU arrived in the Gobi desert and found the Hippopotamus Squad.
The Leader of the Guardian Ninja Squad, not wanting to live, jumped directly into the Konoha ANBU crowd.
This time, Night Light was smarter; he had already avoided the direction of the Leader of the Guardian Ninja Squad and Kuriarare Kushimaru.
The battle instantly escalated.
Kirigakure Ninja, like madmen, rushed into the Konoha ANBU, trying to retrieve the Leader of the Guardian Ninja Squad.
Night Light saw Kuriarare Kushimaru.
Kuriarare Kushimaru, just like in his previous life, used the Longsword: Sewing Needle to open a gap in the Anbu formation, and the Kirigakure Ninja rushed in.
He didn't enter but kept throwing and retracting his sword in place, as if dancing in situ.
Night Light's reaction speed was much faster, and he saw steel wires coiling around.
The Longsword: Sewing Needle flew to a nearby stone, circled it, and then flew back into Kuriarare Kushimaru's hand.
Between the surrounding stones, a steel wire framework appeared, and the Longsword: Sewing Needle then moved through the steel wires, quickly forming a large net.
During this time, many Leaf Ninja discovered the Longsword: Sewing Needle, and even wearing Anbu iron armor, they were pierced by it.
Kuriarare Kushimaru suddenly pulled the steel wire.
A piercing cutting sound rang out.
The stones that supported the steel net were cut, and along with them, the steel net instantly tightened.
Night Light carefully watched the ground.
The steel net severed the lower legs of two nearby Anbu!
Night Light quickly jumped.
His speed was faster than the surrounding Anbu, allowing him to escape a disaster.
Just one wave of attack severed the legs of over twenty Konoha ANBU.
They fell to the ground, wailing in pain, their severed feet still standing on the ground, but their lower legs were half-missing, and blood gushed out.
Kuriarare Kushimaru threw the Longsword: Sewing Needle again. This time, he used the fallen Leaf Ninja on the ground as the framework for his steel net.
One by one, the legless Leaf Ninja were pierced, and the steel net reappeared.
What a terrifying attack.
Kuriarare Kushimaru undoubtedly possessed the strength of an Elite Jonin, and his disposition was extremely cruel.
The wound from the Longsword: Sewing Needle was very small, and the pierced Konoha ANBU did not die quickly, wailing in agony.
The cuts from the steel wire were exceptionally clean, turning the Ninja into puppet toys.
Captain Yellow Dog rushed to the side of the battlefield, trying to stop Kuriarare Kushimaru from setting up the steel wires.
Kuriarare Kushimaru's strength was formidable, and he easily dodged Captain Yellow Dog's attacks.
Captain Yellow Dog's Fire Release Ninjutsu came one after another, but they were always disrupted by the Longsword: Sewing Needle flying back from his blind spots.
Night Light dodged stones and the legless Konoha ANBU, cautiously circling the periphery.
At this point, in the center of the battlefield, the Leader of the Guardian Ninja Squad, outnumbered, had already been struck several times.
Before he died, he took out a scroll from his Ninja tool pouch.
"You won't get my Uzumaki Clan's sealing Jutsu!"
An Exploding Tag was attached to the scroll!
He bit the scroll and the Exploding Tag, intending to be blown to pieces with the scroll.
Another Captain of the ANBU Squad, Black Ant, made his move.
Black Ant was a Ninja from the Nara Clan. His shadow on the ground had already reached the Leader of the Guardian Ninja Squad's feet, instantly controlling him.
The Leader of the Guardian Ninja Squad raised his hand, tore off the Exploding Tag himself, and threw out the scroll.
The Exploding Tag exploded around his head, blowing the scroll away.
Night Light had already moved in advance when the Leader of the Guardian Ninja Squad tore off the Exploding Tag, positioning himself along the line of the Exploding Tag and the scroll.
The Exploding Tag blew the scroll away, and the scroll unfurled in the air.
Night Light quickly jumped and caught the scroll in mid-air.
Quick, quick.
Just a glance at the sealing scroll, remembering any sealing Jutsu, would be a huge gain.
After a quick look, Night Light immediately rolled up the scroll and threw it towards Captain Black Ant.
Captain Black Ant caught the scroll, opened it, and looked at it, his expression bewildered. He even looked up at Night Light again.
Night Light, wearing a fox mask, nodded, indicating it was true.
The scroll contained only blank paper!
It was empty, an empty scroll!
The 8 Whirlpool Guardian Ninja, including 4 Jonin and 4 Special Jonin, were surprisingly carrying empty scrolls.
Who could have imagined that such a large lineup was merely a disguise to attract firepower.
The true scroll had perhaps already been sent out of the Wave Country.
The Whirlpool remnants had played a trick on Konoha and Kirigakure.
Black Ant couldn't believe it. He turned to a subordinate and said, "Perhaps there's a hidden message on the scroll that requires special means to reveal the writing! Go and decipher it quickly!"
Night Light looked at the astonishing Fire Release Ninjutsu of Captain Yellow Dog and several Squad Leaders, and suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
His immediate priority now was to draw a water-attribute Chakra.
His enemies might not all come from other Ninja Villages. Konoha was skilled at internal conflict, and he had to be wary of people within the Village.
