"System, consume all prestige value and recruit an Elite Troop Type!"
Chihiro didn't plan on saving up to recruit a Heroic Troop Type or leaving some behind.
Quickly recruiting a powerful individual to overcome the current crisis was the most important thing.
He was even somewhat worried that the strength of an Elite Troop Type might not be enough to solve the problem.
After all, most of the Ninja who attacked the Uzushigakure had retreated, but under the perception of his Kagura's Mind's Eye, there were still four Ninja Squads configured to search for resources in the Uzushigakure.
Furthermore, he wasn't clear on what Rank the Elite Troop Type's strength corresponded to compared to the Ninja World.
He might as well go all-in for an Elite Troop Type!
"Ding! Detecting the host's first troop recruitment, granting the Newbie Benefit: Tenfold Critical Hit!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting a Heroic Troop Type: Captain of the Third Division of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, Gin!"
Chihiro's eyes instantly lit up.
Tenfold Critical Hit! Heroic Troop Type! Gin!
Every key phrase brought Chihiro a surprise.
Even the System's cold, mechanical voice sounded pleasant in his mind.
The next moment, a giant door suddenly appeared in the space before Chihiro.
The giant door slowly opened.
A tall, slender figure walked out from inside the door.
With light purple short hair and perpetually squinted eyes, he always wore a smile.
He wore a sleeveless white Haori embroidered with the Third Division's number over a standard black shinigami uniform, and a sword was tucked into his waist.
The giant door quickly vanished, something Chihiro noted.
It felt a bit like a senkaimon.
This was certainly fitting for how a Shinigami would appear.
"Captain Gin of the Third Division of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads pays respects to Lord Spirit King!"
Gin's voice pulled Chihiro's thoughts back.
Looking at Gin, who was kneeling on one knee, Chihiro was deep in thought.
So that's it. The System had set his identity as the Lord Spirit King.
However, wasn't this Lord Spirit King of his a little too disheveled?
He was covered in dust and grime, and there was blood on his body.
Chihiro internally asked the System, "System, will the troop types I recruit ever betray me?"
"Ding! All troop types recruited by the host will be 100% loyal to the host and will never betray you!"
Chihiro was much more relieved now.
At the same time, he gained a clearer understanding of the troop Ranks.
A Captain-level figure of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads was a Heroic Troop Type.
Then a Lieutenant should be the next Rank down, the Elite Troop Type.
Starting with a Captain-level figure, Chihiro finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this was one of the top-tier powerhouses in the Shinigami World.
While it wasn't guaranteed that he would be unrivaled in the Ninja World, he definitely possessed strength comparable to Kage-level figures.
Tap, tap, tap!
A burst of chaotic footsteps approached, entering Chihiro's ears.
"Captain Kiriqi, two survivors found here!"
Soon, a Chunin spotted Chihiro and Gin.
The Ninja named Kiriqi glanced indifferently at Chihiro and said coldly, "Remnants of the Uzumaki Clan. Kill them."
"Yes!"
Three Chunin swarmed forward, holding Kunai, surrounding Chihiro and Gin.
Their expressions were serious, daring not to be careless in the slightest.
Although the Uzushigakure had been destroyed, the counterattack from the Uzumaki Clan had left a deep impression on them.
They were terrified that if they were careless, they would be meeting the Six Paths Sage the next second.
Chihiro's expression was calm; his lips moved, spitting out a cold command.
"Gin, deal with them."
"Understood, Lord Spirit King!"
The moment Gin's voice fell, he instantly Shunpo'd in front of them the next second.
The speed was so fast that they only felt their vision blur before a tall, slender figure, radiating intense pressure, enveloped them.
Gin smiled, wasting no words on them.
Draw the sword, slit the throat!
The movements were clean and decisive.
The Chunin in front of him didn't even have time to form hand signs for the Substitution Jutsu before his head was separated from his body.
Gin narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying, "First one, done!"
He turned his head toward the other two, his figure flickered twice in succession, and two flowers of blood bloomed in the air.
"What a fast Body Flicker Technique!"
Kiriqi's pupils violently contracted, and his heart rate suddenly accelerated.
How could the Uzushigakure still have someone like this!
Haven't they all died already!!
Kiriqi suddenly regretted taking on this mission to search for the Uzushigakure' legacy.
He had thought it was a cushy job, but instead, he ran into a God of Slaughter!
"Next, it's your turn."
Gin slowly turned his head, his narrow, slit eyes fixed on Kiriqi.
Gulp!
Kiriqi couldn't help but swallow, feeling as if his entire body had fallen into an ice cellar.
He suddenly felt the suffocating sensation of a snake constricting his neck.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!!
The instinct of fear drove him to use the Body Flicker Technique to create distance.
The suffocating feeling of being targeted disappeared, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
Unconsciously, his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
He cannot be fought!
Kiriqi instantly made his decision.
But Gin's extremely rapid movement made him realize that his escape speed was not as fast as Gin's.
Years of combat experience allowed him to immediately make a judgment.
He quickly formed hand signs with both hands.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A three-meter-long Water Dragon condensed out of thin air and swooped down toward Gin.
Kiriqi did not expect the Water Dragon Bullet to be effective; he turned his head and ran.
He only hoped the Water Dragon Bullet could buy him a few seconds to escape.
"Do you think you can escape?"
The gentle voice seemed to carry the fangs of a venomous snake, causing Kiriqi's hair to stand on end as his animal instinct perceived a fatal threat.
"Shoot to kill, Shinsō!"
Whoosh—
A white flash sliced through the air. Kiriqi looked down, seeing a white blade piercing him from behind.
Only a few seconds later did he feel the pain.
"When... did..."
Shinsō was retracted by Gin, and Kiriqi fell from the air, his eyes wide open, dying with lingering grievances.
Clap, clap, clap!
Chihiro clapped his hands and praised, "Gin, well done!"
In less than a minute, he dealt with three Chunin and one Special Jonin.
At this speed, even a Kage would not be as fast as Gin.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Gin is a Rank stronger than a Kage.
Besides the fact that the three Chunin were indeed weak, Gin's method of attack was also why the battle was resolved so quickly.
Chihiro's gaze fell upon the wakizashi in Gin's hand.
The Zanpakuto, Shinsō!
A Zanpakuto that, upon Shikai, can freely extend and retract, change length, and does so at extremely high speed!
This kind of unexpected attack method means that even if a Kage arrived without prior intelligence, they would still end up with a few holes in their body!
Not to mention, there is also Bankai.
Gin turned around, restrained his snake-like expression, and bowed, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, Lord Spirit King."
After praising Gin, Chihiro focused his attention on the System panel.
Besides the addition of Gin's name to the Heroic Troop Types unit.
A change also appeared in the prestige value, which should have been zero.
