Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room perfectly.
Mizuna slowly opened his eyes.
"I slept surprisingly well last night. I feel so refreshed!"
Mizuna opened the System Shop to check the refreshed items.
Recorder: 1 Dignity Point each.
Healing Pill: 50 Dignity Points each.
Megaphone: 20 Dignity Points each.
Strawberry Flavor Lollipop: 1 Dignity Point each.
Spark Lens (One-Time Use): 500 Dignity Points each.
Mizuna's eyes widened when he saw the last item.
"Holy crap! The Spark Lens?! (Note: Ultraman Tiga's transformation item). Even if it's one-time use, that's a literal trump card. I have to buy it!"
Mizuna bought the Spark Lens immediately, though his wallet hurt a little.
Looking at the other items, he bought a Megaphone. But this wasn't just any megaphone; this was a Wang Wei Poetry-Tier Megaphone! It could cover the entire Land of Fire if he wanted, with adjustable range.
After securing the megaphone, Mizuna saw that the recorders and lollipops were cheap, so he spent 200 Dignity Points to buy a whole pile of them and stored them in his inventory.
What about Big Bro Madara's brother?
"I haven't seen a Resurrection Coupon in the shop yet. Saving points won't help if I can't buy it anyway."
Mizuna recalled a famous saying from his past life:
"Money isn't saved; money is meant to be spent!"
Mizuna stretched and stood up, suddenly remembering he still had 3 White-Tier Lottery Draws.
"System! Give me a satisfying triple draw! Start Gacha!"
Mizuna shouted like a generic Shonen protagonist.
[Ding! Drawing... Congratulations Host! You obtained: Healing Pills x10, Fashion Design Technology x1, Musical Arts Mastery x1.]
"What is this stuff? System, what's the use of these?"
Mizuna was confused again. He had no idea what these skills were for.
[Any normal person could figure it out just by looking at the name. 'Fashion Design Technology' gives you all the clothing manufacturing knowledge from your previous world, plus the craftsmanship skills. 'Musical Arts Mastery' gives you the entire music library from your previous world, plus vocal skills and instrument proficiency.] The System explained.
"No, I mean, what do you want me to do with this? Become an Idol and unite the Ninja World through the power of music?"
After saying this, a lightbulb went off in Mizuna's head.
"Wait! Spiritual Entertainment! Why didn't I think of that? But I can't be the idol... I can definitely set this up later... Heh heh heh!"
Mizuna walked to the window and struck a Josuke Higashikata pose, leaning one hand against the frame.
"I feel refreshed! Like I just put on a fresh pair of underwear on New Year's morning!" (Note: JoJo Reference).
Mizuna took a deep breath of the morning air. Ah, smells sweet.
He changed out of his pajamas and walked out of the room.
"So hungry~ Let's get some breakfast~"
Mizuna walked into the living room, only to find his Brother-in-law, Sister, White-Haired Mid-Tier Scrub, and even Big Bro Madara sitting there.
"Eh? Big Bro Madara is here too? Why is everyone sitting here so seriously?"
Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Mizuna sensed something was up.
"Mizuna, I heard from Madara that you mastered a special Summoning Jutsu?" Hashirama asked.
"Yeah, Brother-in-law. What about it?" Mizuna asked, confused.
"Madara told us the gist of it. Can you demonstrate your ability for us?" Hashirama asked.
"No problem."
Just as Mizuna was about to pull out the Thousand Demon Daggers, he noticed a new option in the System menu: [Print].
"System, what does 'Print' mean?" Mizuna asked internally.
[It allows you to print out the techniques, books, or data you've acquired into physical form, making it easier to teach others.] The System replied casually.
Mizuna's eyes lit up.
"Holy crap! This opens up so many possibilities!"
Mizuna selected [Print].
He browsed the music library, picked a song, and hit print.
Looking at the sheet of paper filled with lyrics in his inventory, Mizuna was overjoyed.
"This is going to be hilarious! Heh heh heh!" Mizuna smirked evilly.
The others watched Mizuna standing there motionless. Just as they were about to ask if he was okay, Mizuna reached into thin air and pulled out a piece of paper.
Everyone was shocked. They looked at Mizuna in disbelief.
Seal-less Jutsu! That was their first impression.
Mizuna looked at the paper in his hand. He really wanted to laugh, but he was a trained professional. He wouldn't laugh... unless he couldn't hold it back.
He placed the paper on the table. Everyone leaned in to read the words.
"Remembering the past, tears never dry?"
"Embroidered ball from the colorful tower matches a good destiny?" (Note: Lyrics from Peking Opera style song).
"What does this mean?"
Everyone was confused by the text.
"I know! It must be a mysterious incantation!" Hashirama said with his usual airheaded confidence.
"Anija! No matter how you look at it, this is obviously poetry or a song!" Tobirama retorted.
"Is... is that so? Hahaha! Actually, I knew that. I was testing you," Hashirama laughed awkwardly.
"Anija! I told you, you're an airhead," Tobirama mocked.
Hashirama stopped talking and lowered his head, a dark cloud hanging over him in depression.
"That's right. This is a song. So? Who wants to give it a try?"
Mizuna seemed to be asking everyone, but his eyes were locked onto Tobirama.
Seeing Mizuna staring at him, Tobirama spoke up.
"I'll do it... I think this song looks interesting."
Mizuna's eyes sparkled.
"I was waiting for you to say that! Heh heh heh!"
Mizuna laughed evilly in his heart.
Tobirama felt a sudden chill, sensing something was wrong.
Mizuna briefly taught Tobirama the tune. Tobirama waved him off, saying he could handle the rest himself.
Mizuna was surprised. Is this the buff of having a specialized BGM?
Mizuna took out a Recorder and signaled for Tobirama to start.
"Remembering the past, tears never dry~"
"Embroidered ball from the colorful tower matches a good destiny~"
"Pinggui surrendered to the Red Mane Steed~" (Note: Traditional Opera lyrics).
......
After one song, Tobirama felt incredibly refreshed. Exhilarating~ Exhilarating~
Mizuna pressed the button on the recorder, and Tobirama's singing voice played back clearly.
Everyone was shocked. What is this thing?!
Mizuna explained to the group:
"This is called a Recorder. It can record people's voices and play them back."
Tobirama's eyes lit up instantly. This is a treasure! It has strategic value! We can use it to steal enemy intel!
Mizuna saw the look on Tobirama's face and knew exactly what he was thinking. Before Tobirama could ask, Mizuna pulled out 50 Recorders and placed them on the table.
"I think this item is valuable for ninja intelligence work. I'll give some to Brother Tobirama as a contribution to the village," Mizuna said with a smile.
Tobirama nodded approvingly at Mizuna's actions.
He thought: Mizuna, I acknowledge your Will of Fire! If I hadn't planned on becoming the Second Hokage, you would definitely be next in line.
Tobirama praised Mizuna lavishly in his mind.
Hashirama, seeing such a fun toy, clamored to play with it too.
In the end, everyone recorded a song.
Hashirama sang "Begging Buddha" ( A melodramatic love song).
Madara sang "Let Go and Fight" ( An intense, determined song).
Mito sang "Special Person" ( A romantic ballad).
Mito specifically asked Hashirama to sing with her. Hashirama was naturally delighted. Madara's face, however, was not looking too good.
"This song really suits me! Especially that line: 'Can we, can we meet again~' It's simply amazing! Right? Madara!"
"Heh~ Hashirama, I admit your 'Begging Buddha' is decent, but my 'Let Go and Fight' is no less impressive!"
"Madara!"
"Hashirama!"
Seeing how energetic they were, Mizuna felt relieved...
"Remembering the past, tears never dry~~"
Tobirama was still singing in the background.
