The next day, having adjusted his mindset, Uchiha Kazuhiko once again browsed the Pan-Universe Mall, searching for items suitable for himself.
After some research, Uchiha Kazuhiko decided to first purchase a finely crafted weapon to enhance his offensive capabilities.
After a simple filter, information on a selection of weapons appeared before Uchiha Kazuhiko.

[White Jade Sword-Duster]: Low Black Iron Rank (Low-Grade). Made from ten-thousand-year cold jade. Not only harder than refined steel, but also emits cold air when wielded. Price: 1 gold coin.
Among these weapons, the one that most captivated Uchiha Kazuhiko was the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade from the world of "Shushan Sword Immortals." Unfortunately, its price was exorbitant.
Unless he could acquire precious items to exchange in his next mission, like he did in the Captain America world, he would have to wait until his strength increased and he completed more high-rank missions.
After a difficult selection process, Uchiha Kazuhiko chose a budget version of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, a weapon more suited to his current capabilities the Bloodwing Black Blade.
The Bloodwing Black Blade was the weapon of the vampire K from the "Hetalia" world.
Its blade, over a meter long, was black and red. The hilt was shaped like a vampire bat, and the spine and edge were notched.
Both functionally and aesthetically, it perfectly met Uchiha Kazuhiko's needs.
Taking the Bloodwing Black Blade out of his space, Uchiha Kazuhiko made a few practice swings.
He found its weight appropriate, and the sound it made cutting through the air was very faint, making it highly suitable for the high-speed combat between ninjas. Its cost-performance ratio was quite good.
Uchiha Kazuhiko picked up the Bloodwing Black Blade and slashed at a high-carbon steel kunai he had purchased in Konoha.
With almost no effort, the kunai was cut in two, the break smooth as a mirror, while the blade itself showed no scratches.
"Excellent blade."
In the Naruto world, the Bloodwing Black Blade could rival Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword, making it one of the top-tier weapons.
As for whether it could withstand weapons made from Truth-Seeking Balls created by Yin-Yang Release, that result would only be known after actual combat.
Extremely satisfied with this weapon, Uchiha Kazuhiko stored it back in his system space and continued browsing, looking for other items in the Pan-Universe Mall.
To fully utilize the Bloodwing Black Blade's capabilities, Uchiha Kazuhiko decided to purchase a sword technique manual to replace the basic Konoha-style sword techniques he currently used.
[Wind Spirit Sword Art]: Low Bronze Rank (Mid-Grade). Wind-attribute sword techniques, eight forms in total. Price: 74 gold coins.

...

There were many sword techniques. Considering factors like power, cultivation restrictions, price, etc., Uchiha Kazuhiko chose the cost-effective Wind Spirit Sword Art.
The Wind Spirit Sword Art was a primary sword skill cultivated by the Yunlan Sect in the Battle Through the Heavens world. It contained five basic sword forms and three ultimate techniques.
Its difficulty level was moderate, and its strongest ultimate technique was comparable to Six Paths-level attacks, sufficient to handle various battles Uchiha Kazuhiko would face in the early and mid-stages of the Naruto world.
After purchasing the Wind Spirit Sword Art, Uchiha Kazuhiko only had 82 gold coins left.
While not enough to buy new high-level items immediately, it didn't stop him from doing some preliminary research for future purchases.
For external cultivation, he had the Bronze-rank Blood Demon Indestructible Body, which didn't need replacement with a higher-level technique for now. For mental power, the Sun-Chaser Meditation Technique was sufficient for his current level.
For weapons and skills, he had just acquired the Bloodwing Black Blade and the Wind Spirit Sword Art. Therefore, Uchiha Kazuhiko decided to save more gold coins to replace his internal cultivation technique with a higher-level one.
"System, regarding cultivation techniques, do you have any good suggestions?"
Uchiha Kazuhiko was somewhat undecided and sought the system's help.
"Host, all myriad worlds evolved from the highest-level Primordial World. It is recommended to choose an orthodox immortal cultivation internal technique,"
the system advised without hesitation.
"Immortal cultivation techniques, alright. Then display immortal cultivation techniques."
Uchiha Kazuhiko accepted the system's suggestion and used the filter function again.
This time, Uchiha Kazuhiko didn't look for low-level techniques but set his sights on Silver-rank techniques.

...
Seeing thousands of Silver-rank immortal cultivation techniques made Uchiha Kazuhiko's eyes burn with desire. Their exorbitant prices made him acutely aware of his poverty. After making his choice internally, he reluctantly closed the Pan-Universe Mall.
Leaving his room, he reported to the Konoha jonin team leader at the inn, then left to tour the Cloud Village, whose environment was completely different from Konoha's.
