Chapter 59: Victory Rewards and Kidō
"Utsu... semi!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi silently repeated the word.
The cicada escapes its shell...!? A perfect technique...
Then, Hiruzen slowly closed his eyes as beams of light fell from the sky, shining upon his body.
Individual Battle!
Yuichi won!
The ninjas in Konoha Village seemed unwilling to accept this. They had almost succeeded, but in the end, the opponent used a strange trick to defeat the Lord Third Hokage.
Was that terrifying speed really achievable by humans?
"How could there be such speed? Even we saw that guy get hit by Lord Third's Ninjutsu!"
"Damn it... The tricks that guy used are so despicable!"
Despicable?
Although Jiraiya felt heavy-hearted, seeing the ninjas of his own village unable to accept failure was frustrating.
"Stop talking nonsense. The opponent's strength is indeed immense. As a powerhouse from another world, it's not surprising he has such power!"
"But Mr. Jiraiya, that final speed was completely outrageous. How can speed be..." The ninja still seemed unwilling to accept the result.
He was suddenly interrupted by Might Guy. "This is the power of Taijutsu! Taijutsu is not weaker than Ninjutsu or Genjutsu! Just because your Taijutsu practice isn't enough, why do you think others can't achieve it?"
Might Guy was angry. Were these people so unwilling to accept that the Third Hokage was defeated by a master of physical arts? Was Taijutsu something to be ashamed of?
Taijutsu could also be very powerful! As a ninja specializing in physical arts, Might Guy resonated more with Yuichi.
"That's right! The power of the opponent's world is not the same as ours. To explode with such terrifying speed that it deceives even vision shows that physical skills, which have been undervalued, can unleash amazing power."
Tsunade glanced at Might Guy and spoke up in support.
The ninjas fell silent.
Rock Lee seemed incredibly excited at that moment, looking at Yuichi's tall back on the screen.
It turns out that physical skills... can be this strong!
Even Lord Third Hokage... was no match for him.
While everyone was silent, Orochimaru suddenly smiled. "The result has already appeared. Are you still dwelling on relationships at a time like this?"
"The real concern should be what will happen next!"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered that the two worlds were fighting each other, and each side had won one game. In such a situation, who would win?
[Personal Battle]
[Winner: Yuichi]
[Pirate World: 1]
A point score appeared.
That was where it got interesting. The appearance of the score meant that this war... was far from over!
Would they continue to fight? What were the rules for the next battle?
[The winners of both sides will receive a reward]
[Ninja World, The Sannin]
[Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade]
[Acquire 3% personal strength enhancement]
Personal strength enhancement?
Konoha Village.
The three standing atop the Hokage building suddenly glowed with white light. In the next second, they closed their eyes simultaneously.
It was as if they felt the strength in their bodies increase, and rays of Chakra light appeared on their faces. The Chakra aura emanating from the three of them grew stronger.
The 3% increase here didn't refer to a static value, but an overall enhancement of their individual base capabilities. Not only did their Chakra capacity increase, but its potency did as well.
The power and range of their Ninjutsu were strengthened. The same Ninjutsu, consuming the same amount of Chakra, would now be significantly more destructive. It also applied to abstract attributes: physical strength, reaction speed, cell vitality, mental fortitude, and so on.
Although it didn't look like much, for the Sannin, whose strength was already immense, a 3% increase was not a small amount.
At the same time, Yuichi was rewarded.
[One Piece World, Marine Admiral Candidate]
[Yuichi]
[Gain personal strength increased by 1%]
Yuichi also felt the power in his body growing. His Haki and other abilities were all enhanced.
But Yuichi was rewarded with more than just this 1% power boost. There was also the bonus from the Template System.
[Congratulations Host, you have successfully activated the Kidō ability]
[Current character template: Byakuya Kuchiki]
[Ability Awakening: 54%]
The Kidō ability, which should have been activated at 60%, was now unlocked early.
Yuichi's panel displayed Byakuya Kuchiki's Kidō.
[According to the host's current character template ability awakening progress]
[Host can use Kidō up to Level 40]
Kidō included both Hadō (Way of Destruction) and Bakudō (Way of Binding).
Kidō up to level 40 wasn't bad. As his awakening continued, more high-level spells would become available.
Along with the power increase, a large amount of Kidō usage knowledge flooded Yuichi's mind—this was Byakuya Kuchiki's experience and practice.
It instantly became part of Yuichi's own muscle memory. No learning, no adaptation required.
Assisted by Kidō abilities!
In subsequent battles, Yuichi would have more ways to defeat the enemy. At this stage, when using Haki, he could only control no more than 20% of his Reiatsu to blend into the attack. However, after the power increase, he felt he could incorporate more Reiatsu into his strikes.
The harvest this time was excellent. Relying on cultivation alone was simply too slow. System tasks were the best shortcut to improving strength.
[World scores of both sides]
[Ninja World VS Pirate World]
[3:1]
[The third battle will follow]
[The winner of the group battle VS the winner of the individual battle]
[The victorious side will win the complete victory of this World War]
Suddenly, the light curtain over the duel field displayed the rules for the third battle.
Yuichi was stunned for a moment. So that's the case. No wonder I wasn't teleported away immediately after I won! It turns out there is still a third battle...
