Chapter 154: Raikage's Tools!
Added 2025-01-14 01:54:53 +0000 UTC——
"Ding Dong!"
Just as Sasuke finished speaking, a notification sound rang out in his mind.
"[Shop] New product activated!"
Suddenly, Sasuke was stunned!
Why would there be new stuff at a time like this?
No, wait!
It might not be something new, it's likely a second purchase, like last time.
It should be a second purchase of the [Upgrade Package], right?
This thought flashed through Sasuke's mind in an instant, and he temporarily put aside his doubts.
No matter what it is, it needs system points to buy!
Now that he had accumulated so many points, this thing finally appeared, clearly requiring a high number of points.
Let's put it aside for now.
Finish this act of showing off first!
+160
In the moment Sasuke pondered, the numbers in front of his eyes jumped. Because of his recent showing off, his points increased again.
"Is this for real?"
Choji Yuta's eyes were filled with shock as he stared at Sasuke.
Being able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique proved that Sasuke had enough talent!
And now he was saying that he was also wearing weighted ninja tools?
This physical quality...
It's a bit terrifying!
Choji Yuta considered himself a power-type ninja, but at this moment, he felt as weak as a baby.
"Of course it's real. Did you see any problems with my movements?"
Sasuke glanced at Choji Yuta with ease, then his expression turned cold and serious.
"Take me to see some heavier weighted ninja tools. These are not very helpful for my training now."
+170
After Sasuke said these words, the points in front of his eyes jumped again.
These words...
were not entirely bragging!
It was also the truth.
It's just that Sasuke's training method was a little different from ordinary people!
If it were an ordinary person, even Rock Lee and Guy, wearing such weights would allow them to move normally, it's just a matter of how long they could keep it up.
With Sasuke's current physical strength, he could only last about an hour.
Few could do better than him.
Therefore, normal people definitely couldn't use this method to train. They don't have cheats, they can't add points, this is a qualitative difference.
Only Sasuke could use this training method!
This uniqueness was Sasuke's bragging point, not only now, but also in the future!
"O-Okay!"
Choji Yuta's voice trembled a little, and his eyes towards Sasuke changed again and again, as if he were looking at a monster.
"Gulp..."
Ebisu swallowed hard. He hadn't interrupted, but he had been listening.
Those weighted ninja tools...
Ebisu didn't want to recall how he had brought those things to the grove.
They were simply too heavy!
At this moment, Choji Yuta took Sasuke and Ebisu to the other side of the ninja tool storehouse.
That was where the ninja attire was stored.
The most numerous were ninja headbands.
After all, many students graduated every year, putting on the Konoha ninja headband and becoming Genin.
In a small sense, the ninja headband was a symbol, in a larger sense, it was a totem-like belief.
Relatively speaking, there weren't as many Chunin and Jonin vests.
Choji Yuta took them a few steps further inside, where there was a tool rack.
The rack was filled with a large pile of weighted ninja tools.
The most common were weighted ninja tools that were tied to the legs.
Sasuke immediately saw those weighted ninja tools labeled "Guts," most of which were the same.
"Lord Sasuke, all the weighted ninja tools are here. Because the ninjas in our Konoha Village are not particularly good at Taijutsu, there are not many weighted ninja tools in stock."
Choji Yuta said seriously, his eyes flickering with curiosity, wanting to know what kind of weighted ninja tools Sasuke would wear.
"This..."
Sasuke's gaze swept across the shelf of weighted ninja tools and immediately landed on the two huge forearm guards at the bottom, which were also the heaviest.
Pure black in color, they looked as thick as a small tree trunk, long enough to cover the elbows. From their shape, they were simply two cylindrical metal blocks.
"This..."
Sasuke bent slightly and reached for the forearm guard with one hand, immediately feeling the extreme weight.
So heavy!
Sasuke's eyes widened abruptly, his pupils constricting slightly. This weighted ninja tool looked like a water dispenser's water bottle, but its weight was like a huge stone. Even with his B-rank strength, it was difficult to lift.
"What is this?"
Sasuke's mouth twitched slightly. He did lift it, but it was too heavy. After lifting it for a moment, he put it back on the ground.
The points in front of his eyes didn't appear again.
The continuous showing off was interrupted.
Sasuke felt a little pity, but this thing was indeed too heavy, his small body couldn't handle it.
"Lord Sasuke, this is a trophy that the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, obtained after defeating the Second Raikage in the First Shinobi World War. This thing is very heavy, no one in Konoha can use it!"
"The Second Raikage's thing!"
"We all call it..."
"Raikage's Tool!"
Choji Yuta explained seriously.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly. No wonder it looked a bit familiar.
The Fourth Raikage wore this thing on his arms.
"Sasuke, I've heard of this Raikage's Tool. I didn't expect it to be this thing."
Ebisu said, stroking his chin.
"Tell me more."
Sasuke looked up at Ebisu. Since the showing off had stopped, he might as well study this thing properly.
"This Raikage's Tool was invented by the Second Raikage of Kumogakure!"
Ebisu began his explanation.
"Like the Second Hokage, the Second Raikage was also very good at developing Ninjutsu!"
"The Second Raikage developed the Lightning Release Chakra Mode used by successive Raikage, as well as the Nintaijutsu and Kenjutsu commonly used in Kumogakure!"
"Because of this, Kumogakure developed into a militant ninja village that advocated Kenjutsu and ninja Taijutsu."
"Unlike other ninja villages that specialize in Ninjutsu, Kumogakure specializes in Nintaijutsu!"
"This Raikage's Tool has the function of weight training and has good electrical conductivity, making it very suitable for the Raikage lineage to practice Lightning Release Nintaijutsu."
"This Raikage's Tool should have been obtained by the Second Hokage when he went deep into Kumogakure, so the Second Raikage had to create a new one."
Ebisu's theoretical knowledge was still very profound, otherwise he wouldn't be asked to be Konoha's home tutor.
Ebisu didn't know high-level Ninjutsu.
But when it came to basic Ninjutsu theory and the situation between major ninja countries and villages, Ebisu knew very well and had sufficient knowledge reserves.
"So this thing is used to practice Nintaijutsu, and it's actually something from the Raikage lineage!"
Sasuke was suddenly surprised.
No wonder it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere!
In the anime, the Fourth Raikage wore this thing on his arms.
So this Raikage's Tool was so heavy!
Not only could it be used to exercise the body normally, but it also had the ability to conduct electricity, which could greatly enhance Lightning Release Nintaijutsu and increase additional attack power.
Such heavy forearm guards could even be used as weapons for attack!
Moreover, the material of this Raikage's Tool was very special, not only hard in texture, but also extremely heavy.
"This is it!"
Sasuke stared at the pair of forearm guards. Of course, he didn't intend to use them as weapons. That wouldn't look cool at all, and it would be very barbaric.
But...
Using this thing to train could not only quickly increase strength, but also be used to show off, it was simply killing two birds with one stone.
+30
As soon as Sasuke said this, the points in front of his eyes suddenly increased, and he entered the showing off state again.
"Sasuke, did I hear correctly? You want to use the Raikage's Tool?"
Ebisu's mouth twitched fiercely, and he felt his head buzz, completely blank.
"Lord Sasuke, this Raikage's Tool is exclusive to the Raikage lineage of Kumogakure. People who don't know Lightning Release Nintaijutsu can't control it at all!"
Choji Yuta said in a low voice. He was afraid that Sasuke would misunderstand that he looked down on him. After all, these two things were too inhumane. Without special physical qualities, one couldn't handle them at all.
"No wonder the Third Raikage was able to develop such abnormal physical qualities. Are there any matching parts for this thing?"
Sasuke's eyes flickered with eagerness to try. Training with this thing would be awesome!
+35
After Sasuke asked this question, the numbers in his eyes jumped again.
He asked this because he remembered that the Fourth Raikage also had a gold belt.
"There's also a belt..."
Choji Yuta's face was full of helplessness. He didn't try to dissuade him anymore. Anyway, Sasuke wouldn't be able to wear it. At most, Sasuke would be slapped in the face and embarrassed.
"Let me see!"
The corners of Sasuke's mouth curled up slightly, a little excited. The Second Hokage was not bad, bringing back a whole set of Raikage's Tools, just in time to use them.
+40
The numbers in front of Sasuke's eyes jumped again. His expression and words, in the eyes of Ebisu and Choji Yuta, were truly showing off.
"Over here."
Choji Yuta pointed to a long, black object at the bottom of the shelf.
"This is it, but it's been here for a while and has a lot of dust on it."
Choji Yuta smiled sheepishly.
This thing was too heavy, and no one could use it, so it was placed here inconspicuously, and no one bothered to clean it.
"Let me see."
Sasuke squatted down and looked at the black belt, which was covered with a layer of gray dust. The style looked slightly ancient, with a fanged ghost head in the center of the belt.
He didn't know why, but Sasuke felt that this black tool was more comfortable than the Fourth Raikage's golden one.
Wasn't this low-key luxury with connotation?
After Sasuke squatted down, he held the black belt with both hands and suddenly exerted force with his whole body.
The strength of his thighs drove his waist and abdomen, and the strength of his waist and abdomen drove his arms.
Boom!
With a roar of a heavy object moving, Sasuke directly lifted the black belt.
So heavy!
Really heavy!
Sasuke felt like he was carrying a small mountain. Just lifting it for a while made his arms sore.
Raikage was truly a monster!
This thought suddenly flashed through Sasuke's mind. No wonder the Third Raikage was able to train his body to that state, even fighting the Eight-Tails on par.
Clang!
After Sasuke moved the belt out, he gently placed it on the ground, but it still caused a small shock.
"I want both this belt and those two forearm guards!"
Sasuke said very seriously.
+45
The numbers in front of Sasuke increased.
This was the charm of the Raikage's Tools.
There's no need to force it, just speak your mind and the system points will come pouring in.
"Sasuke, are you kidding me?"
Ebisu still remembers how Sasuke struggled when he first put on his current weighted gear. Though he's used to it now, how could he possibly be so nonchalant about this thing?
This is the equipment used by the Raikage throughout history!
Ordinary people simply can't handle it physically!
This is beyond a matter of talent!
Ebisu had great confidence in Sasuke's talent, but that didn't mean he believed Sasuke could train with such a thing.
"Ebisu-sensei, please help me wipe these three pieces of ninja gear, I'll put them on now!"
Sasuke's face was aloof, he wasn't joking at all.
+50
The numbers in front of Sasuke's eyes jumped again.
However.
Sasuke knew.
This streak was about to end.
He needed to add points now.
He couldn't control this terrifying thing without upgrading his Strength attribute.
"This..."
Ebisu stared blankly at Sasuke, receiving no response.
"Ebisu-sama, I'll get you some rice paper."
Choji Yuta immediately got up and walked to the other side.
Soon.
He came back with a large pack of tissues and a pot of water for Ebisu to wipe the gear.
Choji Yuta was no longer trying to dissuade Sasuke, instead, he took on the appearance of a spectator watching a good show.
This is a good show!
Must watch!
And...
It's more fun to enjoy it together!
Choji Yuta even called Yamanaka Kentaro, who was standing at the door, over.
The two looked at Ebisu strangely as he wiped the Raikage's ninja gear that no one had been able to use since it was put in the ninja tool storage.
During this time, Sasuke ignored them.
He directly opened the system panel.
Current system points: 3593 points.
So many!
Sasuke was amazed.
He didn't expect his recent string of showing off to generate so many points.
Now was not the time for emotion.
Business first.
Sasuke opened the [Attributes] list again.
Spirit Attribute: Rating A: (62/1000)
Stamina Attribute: Rating A: (743/1000)
Illusion Attribute: Rating B: (0/500)
Ninja Art Attribute: Rating A: (0/1000)
Strength Attribute: Rating B: (386/500)
Speed Attribute: Rating B: (38/500)
Chakra Attribute: Lightning Attribute X2
Add points.
The first thing Sasuke thought of was the Strength attribute. His current B-level Strength attribute was simply not enough to support him using the Raikage's ninja gear.
Add 114 points!
Sasuke didn't feel as distressed spending over 100 points now.
He had just gained a lot of points!
Buzz!
In an instant.
Sasuke felt all the muscles in his body burning. A surge of terrifying energy contained in his body caused the muscle lines of his whole body to undergo a tremendous transformation.
Strength attribute: Rating A: (0/1000)
Current system points: 3479 points.
Strength attribute reached A-level!
Now Sasuke had 4 A-level attributes!
Right.
What was that thing that appeared in the store earlier?
Sasuke curiously opened the [Shop] list.
Instantly.
Five toolkits were displayed before his eyes.
Among them.
The extra fifth toolkit was the same color as the second one, blue.
And like the fourth toolkit, there was a (2) on the icon.
Sure enough!
Sasuke understood the system store's routine.
There were only these three things.
[Upgrade Pack], [Experience Pack] and [Attribute Pack].
Limited to one purchase per month.
But it wasn't a dead limit.
With five times the system points, he could buy a second one!
Sasuke even felt that at ten times the price, or twenty-five times the price, a (3) would appear.
Click to view.
Sasuke's mind stirred, and he clicked on the blue bag.
[Upgrade Pack (2)]: Can increase the level of Bloodline Limit once, price 3000 points (limited to 1 purchase this month: refresh after 23 days).
The top of this upgrade pack icon, like the experience pack, also had a small question mark.
Click.
Suddenly a string of text appeared before his eyes.
Note:
1. Upgrade Pack (2) and Upgrade Pack (1) are the same item, used to upgrade Bloodline Limit.
2. After purchasing Upgrade Pack (1) in the current month, you can continue to upgrade your Bloodline Limit by purchasing Upgrade Pack (2).
3. The price of Upgrade Pack (2) is 5 times that of Upgrade Pack (1).
"As expected!"
Sasuke nodded secretly, it was exactly as he thought.
He could perform a second upgrade.
It's just that the price-performance ratio was a bit low!
3000 system points to complete the second Bloodline Limit upgrade.
This could allow the three-tomoe Sharingan to evolve into the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Reaching the Mangekyo Sharingan would allow him to use Susanoo!
Indeed tempting!
But the price was really too expensive!
If the price was clearly marked as 3000 points for the upgrade, then Sasuke would just upgrade without hesitation.
But...
In another twenty days, the store would refresh, and then he could upgrade to Mangekyo Sharingan for 600 points.
That would be a much better value!
Sasuke had his own plans in mind. This expensive upgrade pack was temporarily considered a luxury purchase.
Don't use it for now!
If it was absolutely necessary to use it urgently, then he would bite the bullet and upgrade.
That's it then!
Sasuke closed the [Shop] list and turned his attention back to Ebisu.
At this moment.
Ebisu had already wiped the belt ninja tool clean. The dark black metal texture revealed a mysterious and high-end sense of weight.
"Let me try this!"
Sasuke immediately took off his own weighted belt ninja tool and threw it on the ground.
Clang!
A loud crash echoed.
+30
The numbers in front of Sasuke's eyes jumped again.
Whether it was Ebisu, Choji Yuta, or Yamanaka Kentaro, everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Terrifying!
To have such a weight hanging on your body!
It was simply terrifying!
After Sasuke took off the weighted belt ninja tool, his movements didn't stop. He continued to take off the weighted vest.
This weighted vest was useless now.
It was too restrictive to wear, and after wearing the Raikage's belt ninja tool, the vest was dispensable.
Clang!
Sasuke threw the weighted vest on the ground, also causing a loud crash.
+35
The numbers in front of Sasuke's eyes jumped again.
Increased again.
Very good!
Sasuke reached out and grabbed the belt ninja tool. The strength in his arms burst forth, and his A-level Strength made all the muscles in his body tense as he directly picked up the belt ninja tool.
Heavy!
Still very heavy!
Even with A-level Strength, it still felt a bit strenuous!
The muscles in Sasuke's arms were completely tense. He wanted to wear this belt ninja tool around his waist.
But.
He had a very strong feeling in his heart.
Can't hold it!
He couldn't hold this belt ninja tool!
No way!
Sasuke directly threw the weighted belt ninja tool on the ground.
Clang!
Another crash!
This crash was more intense, directly shaking the floor of the ninja tool storage.
Too heavy!
Sasuke looked at the ninja tool used by the Raikage lineage. Just holding it for a while made his teeth ache.
Could it be that the Fourth Raikage wore this thing on his arm every day?
That's too abnormal!
No wonder he could take on Susanoo with a hammer!
Sasuke felt that his A-level Strength couldn't withstand it. Just now, when he picked up the belt, the points didn't increase, obviously, showing off had failed.
There was no burst of laughter at the scene, they still saved him some face.
"Sasuke..."
Ebisu was about to persuade Sasuke, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sasuke.
"Ebisu-sensei, don't say anything, just watch my performance quietly!"
There was a hint of arrogance in Sasuke's voice.
+10
The numbers jumped in front of Sasuke's eyes.
This sentence was considered ordinary showing off.
After Sasuke finished speaking, he ignored everyone and opened the system panel again.
Current system points: 3554 points.
He directly opened the [Attributes] panel and went straight to the Strength attribute.
Strength attribute: Rating A: (0/1000)
Add points!
Isn't it just 1000 points!
Add it!
Sasuke originally wanted to cultivate to a higher level himself, but now that it had come to this.
He had already gained enough points by showing off.
Just use them!
Sasuke felt that these 1000 points were being used wisely, it was completely worth the upgrade!
Add points!
Buzz!
Suddenly.
Sasuke's whole body was extremely hot, as if he was in magma. Every inch of his muscles was burning, gradually turning red.
Muscle cells rolled and twisted, as if all the muscles were torn apart, then filled up again, with an unbearable sour and itchy feeling, as if countless ants were crawling on them.
Unbearable pain and itch!
Fortunately, it was only a brief moment.
If it lasted longer, he might not be able to hold on!
This feeling was like there was a hurdle, and he suddenly crossed it, and it was fine after crossing it.
Strength attribute: Rating S: (0/5000)
Current system points: 2554 points.
Sasuke looked at the changed Strength attribute, which directly filled the hexagonal area of the [Attributes] list.
The letter S was a circle larger than the letters of the other attributes.
Shining golden!
S-level Strength attribute!
Sasuke felt that his current strength had reached an extremely high level.
He thought that upgrading the attribute to S-level was the end.
Unexpectedly, there was still something above S-level!
Don't worry about it for now!
Sasuke closed the system panel and his eyes fell on the black belt on the ground.
"It seems that I can't keep a low profile anymore!"
