[Effect: Increases affinity for Earth Style Chakra. Attribute Increase: Earth]
[Note: None (Does this even need a note? Use it already!)]
'Tch,' Kifu clicked his tongue.
Earth Style Chakra.
As a ninja, he knew very well that chakra attributes were usually innate. Aside from the hidden Yin and Yang styles, the primary attributes were Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Water.
In terms of potential, the number of chakra attributes a person possessed was considered a measure of their talent.
Of course, powerful shinobi could develop a single attribute to its absolute limit. The brutes from the Hidden Cloud Village were a prime example of this.
Most people possessed only one attribute. A smaller number of people had two. Very few possessed three. Those born with all five attributes were essentially using cheats.
However, these were innate traits. It was possible to develop attributes later through hard work. It was simply very difficult and consumed a great deal of energy. Few people chose to do so.
After all, if a ninja had not yet utilized a single attribute to its fullest extent, developing multiple attributes would only waste their limited time and energy.
Not possessing a certain chakra attribute did not mean a ninja could not use techniques of that style. It simply meant the power of those techniques would be significantly reduced.
Kifu originally possessed only the Fire attribute. Now that he had added the Earth attribute, his combat style would become more diverse as long as he mastered the corresponding skills. The combination of Earth and Fire techniques would yield even more impressive results.
This was a long-term benefit. As more time passed, the advantages would become increasingly obvious.
'Thank you,' Kifu thought. After considering it, those were the only words he could find to express his joy.
His efforts to protect the body had not been in vain.
He had three prize draws remaining. He did not use them all at once.
Perhaps a high-quality blind box would be delivered tomorrow.
He yawned.
He was tired.
It had been an exhausting night.
He locked the door and returned to his small home nearby. He fell asleep the moment he hit the bed.
...
A quiet corner of Konoha, the Mortuary.
Two months had passed since Kifu killed the Iwa Shinobi mole.
During these two months, his life followed a very regular pattern. He slept until noon and woke up to receive bodies sent by the Anbu or the Medical Corps. In the afternoon, he found time to fulfill the simple last wishes of the deceased. In the evening, he cleaned the blood and wounds from the corpses. Late at night, when everything was quiet, he opened his prizes.
During this time, Asuma would often come looking for him. He claimed he wanted to chat, but he really just wanted to find a quiet, remote place to sneak a cigarette.
Anyone with a smoking habit knew that smoking alone was just loneliness. Smoking with another person made it feel like a real smoke.
They chatted when they had nothing else to do. Kifu learned many useful and useless things from him.
For example, Asuma liked the cute, red-eyed Yuhi Kurenai. He also mentioned that Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing red underwear today.
He also heard words like war, Iwa Shinobi, and Hidden Mist.
The two were close in age and shared similar hobbies. Kifu had become one of the few friends Sarutobi Asuma had.
Asuma always asked, "Is it not boring or terrifying to stay with corpses all day?"
Kifu replied, "The deceased are of the utmost importance. We must respect the dead and the last things they left in this world."
Asuma did not understand his happiness.
Two months passed.
His growth was significant.
The System allowed him to gain things every day. Most were items like Kunai, Shuriken, and Ration Pills. Occasionally, he obtained Attribute Cards or Skill Cards. Experience Cards and Bloodline Cards almost never appeared again.
He was still missing one Diluted Bloodline Card for the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha corpses were not easy to find.
Only Uchiha who had not awakened the Sharingan would be sent here. They had to reach the level of a Green Corpse to possibly drop a Bloodline Card, which made it even more difficult.
However, he was not in a hurry. He was patient.
As the war approached the brink of breaking out, the major villages became more restrained.
Friction decreased as they made final preparations. This resulted in fewer corpses and more common rewards.
He sat in a rocking chair with a cigarette in his mouth. Only the occasional smoke ring and his moving eyes proved he was alive.
The life of a salted fish was too comfortable. He almost forgot he was a ninja.
He looked exactly like an old man guarding a gate.
He checked his status panel results after two months.
