[Killed Nobusada Oda, a noble of the Land of Tea. Received 500 gold coins.]
Qin Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at the final notification after collecting the spoils of war. He'd received exactly 500 gold coins for killing the four guards and two sedan bearers.
That meant he now had a total of 1000 gold coins. Coupled with the rare item he'd obtained from the Land of Tea noble, this mission was definitely a profitable one.
[B-rank assassination mission complete. Received 500 faction reputation.]
Qin Yu was slightly bewildered by the notification that suddenly appeared as he exited the sedan. He didn't seem to know what faction reputation was used for.
At least, up to this point, Qin Yu hadn't discovered its use. Perhaps he could find a hidden faction shop next time he returned to the Akatsuki base.
Qin Yu approached the sedan and watched Jūzō Biwa, who was busy on the ground. He was puzzled. The enemies were already dead. What was this guy doing?
Qin Yu got closer to Jūzō Biwa and saw that he was using fresh blood to carve a vibrant red cloud symbol on the soil next to the sedan.
"What's this for?"
Qin Yu, completely baffled by Jūzō Biwa's actions, asked directly.
Jūzō Biwa, who had just finished, glared fiercely at Qin Yu before sighing in exasperation, "We have to leave Akatsuki's mark. Otherwise, how will the client know we took him out!"
"Oh…"
Qin Yu, hearing the resentment in Jūzō Biwa's voice, felt it cheapened things a bit. He had originally thought Akatsuki was a symbol of mystery, yet they needed to leave their mark at the crime scene.
"Alright!"
A few minutes later, Jūzō Biwa left an indelible mark on the ground. Having finished, he shouldered the Kubikiribōchō and came to Qin Yu's side.
"Do you know why the leader wants us to work in two-man teams?"
Jūzō Biwa suddenly said something completely unrelated to the current mission.
"Why?"
Qin Yu, unsure of Jūzō Biwa's intentions, calmly questioned him.
"To cultivate our ability to cooperate in combat and prevent unnecessary sacrifices. Therefore, starting from the next battle, we'll try to work together. We can't disappoint the leader's good intentions."
Jūzō Biwa's voice, filled with a teaching tone, sounded as if he were instructing the new recruit to the Akatsuki. In reality, Jūzō Biwa simply didn't want to feel so uninvolved in every mission.
"Understood!"
Qin Yu didn't take Jūzō Biwa's words to heart at all. After all, the current mission objective was directly tied to gold coins. And what were gold coins? They were the bridge to rapidly improving his strength.
Therefore, cooperating with Jūzō Biwa in combat later was completely unnecessary. Although the ninja world was filled with hidden talents, as long as he restored Itachi Uchiha's full strength, he shouldn't encounter any particularly difficult opponents.
Even a Kage Level expert wouldn't necessarily win against him!
Plus, with those scrolls in the system to level up skills, it was only a matter of time before he reached Super Kage, as long as he had enough gold.
"Alright, let's go! That nobleman was surprisingly wealthy; we can relax a lot tonight."
Jūzō Biwa breathed a sigh of relief when Qin Yu agreed. He didn't want to go from being a fighter to someone useless.
"Be moderate!"
Qin Yu replied instinctively to Jūzō Biwa's words, causing the smug Jūzō Biwa to stumble and nearly fall.
After half a day of travel, the two arrived at a town called Longjing within the Land of Tea around four in the afternoon.
As soon as they entered the town, Jūzō Biwa spotted a pink-signed hot spring inn, and his eyes lit up.
However, considering what happened this morning, Jūzō Biwa ultimately gave up the idea of going inside.
After eating their fill, the two found a hotel that only offered hot springs and accommodations. Using the money they had just obtained from the noble, they booked two superior rooms.
Qin Yu left the hotel directly and headed straight for a clothing store. In the morning, time was tight, so he had only picked out some clothes that fit his current body. Now, it was time to have some clothes custom-made.
Of course, clothes were secondary. The most important thing was that Qin Yu really couldn't stand those boots that exposed his toes. It was better to have a few pairs of shoes custom-made.
"That will be 1000 gold coins. You can come and pick them up tomorrow at noon!"
After taking measurements, the clothing store owner revealed a greedy smile. Buying a piece of clothing here was only 100 gold coins, but Qin Yu was having them custom-made, and a set of clothes would cost about 200 gold coins.
Qin Yu ordered five sets directly. For the owner, who believed that the customer was always right, this was simply a major client.
Leaving the clothing store, Qin Yu went straight back to the previous hot spring hotel. After taking a comfortable hot bath and soaking in the hot springs, he returned to his room and immediately used the 1000 gold coins he had just obtained to buy a Marrow Cleansing Fruit.
The fruit went down, and a warm feeling spread throughout his body. The black and murky area inside his heart shrank again. As long as he kept using the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, it was only a matter of time before he completely eliminated the bloodline disease that Itachi Uchiha had.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Coughing up a mouthful of dirty blood, Qin Yu's complexion softened a bit. A mysterious aura entered his mind, and his Mangekyō Sharingan opened involuntarily. A space filled with blood-colored mist and a blood-red moon floating in the air appeared before Qin Yu's eyes.
After a few seconds, the illusion in front of him disappeared, replaced by a blue light screen.
[Prompt: After taking the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, 70% of Itachi Uchiha's peak strength has been unlocked.] [Prompt: Obtained the ultimate skill, Tsukuyomi!] [Ultimate Technique · Tsukuyomi: One of the Mangekyō Sharingan's eye techniques. A genjutsu cast by the Mangekyō Sharingan, it pulls the enemy's spirit into a genjutsu space. In the world of Tsukuyomi, all factors, including time, location, and mass, are controlled by the user. The enemy will endure immense physical and mental suffering in the genjutsu world.] [Prompt: Ultimate skill unlocked, current eye power value: 90% (due to Itachi Uchiha's long-term use of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the maximum eye power value is permanently reduced by 10%)]
[Warning: Misuse of the Mangekyō Sharingan will lead to a reduction in the maximum limit of your visual prowess, eventually leading to permanent blindness.]
Several light screens disappeared one after another. Qin Yu's expression was a bit subtle. He had obtained one of Itachi Uchiha's strongest abilities, just as he had imagined, but the limitations of this ability were also incredibly frustrating.
Just the 90% maximum limit of the visual prowess was enough to explain the problem. Complaining about Itachi Uchiha now was pointless.
What Qin Yu wanted to know now was whether the 10% that had already been depleted would be restored if he activated the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Sigh..."
After a helpless sigh, Qin Yu lay on the comfortable bed and slowly closed his eyes.
Oh, hooray! づ●─●)づ
