In the sky above the Land of Hot Water.
A giant goshawk flashed through the clouds, leaving a ten-thousand-meter-long white trail in its wake. Shangguan Mo was still sitting on the Windhawk's head. Behind him were a dozen or so tightly-packed Yugakure ninja. Including the village leader, Jigyoku, there were a total of thirteen people riding the Windhawk back to the village. Although the Windhawk's wingspan was over twenty meters, its back was only seven or eight square meters. With Jigyoku lying down, the space was a bit crowded.
At this moment, he had no mind to care about the situation behind him. All his attention was focused on the system.
[Material: Faint Power of the Evil God]
Quality: Blue
(Note: This divine power comes from a native god of the ninja world—Jashin! This power is extremely faint and is about to dissipate. Estimated dissipation time—5 days!)
"A blue-quality material!" Shangguan Mo gritted his teeth, trying hard not to let his excitement show on his face. He looked at the head of Jizo, which was tightly wrapped in cloth beside him. While feeling a sense of disbelief, he also felt a headache coming on. "Why is this guy's head being treated as a material by the system? Never mind that! But how much chakra does a blue-quality material require for synthesis? Won't I be sucked dry and die during the synthesis! In these five days, I can just barely recover my life points and chakra, but where am I supposed to find a creature of the same rank?"
Thinking this, he became a little flustered. They say you always want what you can't have, but Shangguan Mo was afraid to even eat the food that was right in front of him, for fear of being poisoned.
"Little Wind! Slow down!" he commanded the Windhawk.
The next moment, the Windhawk, which had been flying like an arrow, suddenly began to slow down, and the surrounding scenery no longer looked like a blur.
Half an hour later.
Slap! He reached out and snatched a crow that was fleeing in panic from the sky, grabbing it by the throat of its destiny.
"Caw! Caw!"
"Be quiet!" he squeezed its throat impatiently.
With a silent thought, the virtual synthesis interface appeared before him.
[Faint Power of the Evil God] + [Crow] = ???
[Compatibility]: 70%
[Material: Faint Power of the Evil God, Quality (Blue)]
[Creature: Crow, Rank (E)]
[Synthesis Success Rate] 70%
[Chakra Required] 300
[Synthesize?]
[No]
"Phew!" Shangguan Mo let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Thank goodness it only requires three hundred chakra. If it had doubled from the green quality to 400 chakra or even higher, I would have suspected the system was trying to suck me dry!"
Having tested what he wanted to know, he was about to let the crow go, but then he hesitated. "The power of the evil god... even if it's faint, an ordinary creature probably can't withstand it, and the compatibility would be extremely low. For this crow to have 70% compatibility, it must be extremely rare among E-rank creatures. Although the success rate is only 70%, probably due to the huge gap between the material quality and the creature's rank, if I really can't find a higher-ranking creature in the next five days, I might have to use this crow for the synthesis..."
With a silent sigh, he tied up the crow with a bandage and tossed it into the urea bag hanging on the Earth Dragon Beast, which was coiled around the Windhawk's neck. "Don't you dare lose it again, you hear me? Or I'll turn you into shit!"
The Earth Dragon Beast: "Oh..."
Riding the Windhawk in a straight line at high altitude, he returned to Yugakure in just half a day. The first thing he did upon his return was to start looking for a creature for the synthesis.
One day later. Yugakure.
In a forest, Shangguan Mo was crouching on the ground, drawing circles with a small wooden stick. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was unconsciously rubbing a small branch on the ground. "The manifestation of the evil god's power in Jizo was extremely strong life force, so my next synthesis direction should be to find a creature with extremely strong life force! But what kind of creature is that!"
He was going crazy. After returning to the village, he had caught every animal he could think of. Not a single one was ranked higher than E! And not a single one had a compatibility with the evil god's power of over 50%! Not one!
"An earthworm's life force is tenacious enough, right! You can cut it in half and it will grow back, but the compatibility is less than 10%! A cockroach's life force is amazing, right! It can survive for a month without eating or drinking! It can even live after its head is cut off! But the compatibility with the evil god's power is less than 20%!"
He was getting a massive headache. If he had time to think and prepare, he wouldn't be so anxious. The key was that the evil god's power was about to dissipate. This unprecedented blue-quality material was about to slip through his fingers because he couldn't find a suitable creature for synthesis. It was killing him! No! It was worse than killing him!
Furthermore, a creature synthesized with a blue-quality material would most likely be a C-rank summoning beast! A D-rank summon was roughly equivalent to a Chunin in strength, so a C-rank summon should have the strength of a Jonin. And this C-rank summon would be his greatest reliance in the ninja world for a long time to come.
Frustrated, his movements unconsciously became a little rougher. Snap! The small branch in his hand finally couldn't take the force and broke in two. Frowning, he threw the half-branch on the ground in frustration.
Suddenly, a thunderclap went off in his mind! Branch? Plant! Plants are living creatures too!
Bang! He slammed his fist on the ground, both shocked and angry. "Plants are living creatures too! I learned that in junior high! I'm such an idiot! I've forgotten everything my teachers taught me!" His face turned green and white.
"Plants, plants!" he muttered. Changing his direction, his thoughts suddenly became much clearer. He reached out and touched a nearby large tree that would take ten people to encircle.
[Creature: Camphor Tree]
Rank: E
Retracting his gaze from the system panel, his pupils began to spin wildly. "If there's any place in the ninja world with the highest-ranking creatures, it must be the toads of Mount Myoboku! After being bathed in natural energy for thousands of years, even the plants there are as tall as small mountains! But Mount Myoboku is far beyond my reach. But following this line of thought, if I want to find a high-ranking creature, it must be one of the famous ninja beasts from the original story! Besides the Tailed Beasts, these ninja beasts with their own chakra are the strongest and most intelligent, but I'm definitely no match for them right now! Hiss!"
He started to get a headache again, but after a moment of dejection, he quickly began to pace and think again. This time, he changed his direction slightly.
"The evil god's power..."
"Life force..."
"Wind, fire, lightning, water, earth!"
"Water and earth both represent life force."
"Water + Earth = Wood!"
"Wood Style!"
His eyes slowly lit up. "Hashirama Senju's Wood Style!"
"As the reincarnation of Asura, Hashirama's own chakra naturally contained the ultimate Yang Release power! Rather than saying his Wood Style came from the combination of water and earth chakra, it's better to say that the Yang-attribute chakra in his bloodline created the Wood Style! And the Yang attribute represents the ultimate life force in the ninja world, which should be extremely compatible with the life force in the evil god's power!"
His thoughts gradually became clearer. "The toads of Mount Myoboku are hard to find, but your Hashirama's Yang-attribute Wood Style is everywhere in the Land of Fire!"
"Looks like it's time for a trip out of the village."
"Target—the Valley of the End!"
The Land of Hot Water was bordered by the sea to the north and south, the Land of Fire and the Land of Rice Paddies to the west, and the Land of Frost to the east. And beyond the Land of Frost was the Land of Lightning. And the place he was going next was the Valley of the End, located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rice Paddies. The distance was not far. Riding the Windhawk, he arrived at his destination in just half a day. The Valley of the End!
