Chihiro opened the System again; quite a few changes had appeared on the panel.
Not only did the panel have Spiritual Pressure added, but the Abilities section also included many skills Chihiro had never Cultivated.
After recruiting Gin, Chihiro clearly felt a surge of energy in his body that was distinctly different from Chakra.
Moreover, many experiences related to Cultivating Zankenshō appeared in his mind.
By asking the System, Chihiro learned about another function of the System.
After he successfully recruits a troop type, the troop character will randomly feedback some of its abilities to him.
Of course, this feedback isn't outrageous.
Even with a Heroic Troop Type like Gin, Chihiro only received a small portion of Spiritual Pressure and Elementary Zankenshō.
But small gains accumulate.
Since he Awakened the System, Chihiro naturally wouldn't stop at recruiting just Gin.
When he recruits more troop types in the future, he will naturally become stronger and stronger.
Naturally, the System also provided a user-friendly suggestion.
If Chihiro really couldn't wait, he could also use prestige value to solidify the abilities of the troop characters onto himself.
Hearing this news, Chihiro was slightly tempted, but upon seeing the exorbitant prestige value required for Gin's abilities, he immediately abandoned the idea.
Even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice.
The 1256 prestige value he just obtained could not withstand such extravagance.
However, he had no intention of saving it either.
He decided to use this prestige value to recruit Regular Troop Types.
Gin is a Division Captain, after all; he can't be a commander without troops.
Moreover, rebuilding the Uzushigakure requires manpower, and some trivial tasks need to be done by people.
Furthermore, he wanted to see what strength range the Regular Troop Types fell into.
Therefore...
"System, consume all prestige value and recruit 12 Regular Troop Types!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully recruited Regular Troop Types, Third Division Member * 12!"
Chihiro felt a buzz before his eyes, and twelve figures instantly stood uniformly before him.
"Greetings, Lord Spirit King!" * 12. Chihiro: "..."
Heroic Troop Types appear when the senkaimon opens, and figures cloaked in gold step out from within.
When it comes to Regular Troop Types, is it just an unremarkable flash of white light?
Chihiro clicked his tongue, finding the System to be quite realistic.
After briefly looking them over and realizing none of the faces were familiar, Chihiro didn't pay them much attention.
Using the Spiritual Pressure feedback he just received from Gin, he sensed their strength and compared it to Chakra.
Chihiro drew a conclusion.
Although they were Regular Troop Types, they were still slightly stronger than the Genin in the Ninja World.
Chihiro was already very satisfied recruiting troops of this caliber for the price.
If only he had a little more prestige value.
Then he could summon the Advanced Troop Types and Elite Troop Types to see what they were like.
Suddenly, Chihiro's peripheral vision caught the death god mask he was holding, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
[elite-grade Recruitment Item: death god mask: Capable of performing one Elite Troop Type recruitment.]
"This is..." Chihiro exclaimed in surprise, "A Recruitment Item?"
He remembered the System mentioning that in addition to prestige value, troop recruitment could also be done using Recruitment Items of different grades.
He just hadn't expected to encounter one so soon.
And it was the death god mask he had been carrying the whole time!
"...elite-grade."
A mere mask capable of communicating with a Shinigami reached the Elite classification.
If he could stuff the Shinigami into the System... Hiss—
If he got the chance in the future, he absolutely had to "invite" that Shinigami to be a guest in the Uzushigakure.
He should let Him experience the Uzushigakure' Way of Hospitality and local customs.
As for whether the Shinigami would come... Having been worshipped by the Uzumaki Clan for so long, it couldn't possibly refuse such a small request from a devotee, could It?
So the question arose.
As the long-standing Faith of the Uzumaki Clan, should he use the death god mask to recruit an Elite Troop Type?
"System, consume the death god mask and recruit an Elite Troop Type!"
Chihiro didn't hesitate for a second, directly tossing the death god mask into the Lottery Pool.
Having been worshipped by the Uzumaki Clan for so long, it was time for it to give back.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully recruiting an Elite Troop Type: Lieutenant of the Thirteenth Division, Rukia!"
Chihiro's eyes lit up.
"Got a Gold Card?"
The ground before him suddenly flashed with purple light, and a petite figure flickered into visibility.
Once the purple light dissipated, a beautiful, black-haired, short-statured girl with a pair of purple eyes stood quietly.
When she saw Chihiro, she immediately knelt on one knee and said crisply, "Lieutenant of the Thirteenth Division, Rukia pays respects to Lord Spirit King!"
Chihiro waved his hand, signaling her to stand up.
He was extremely satisfied with the card he had drawn.
Although Rukia during her Lieutenant period was an Elite Troop Type, Chihiro knew she possessed the potential to become a Captain.
This was equivalent to pulling a Heroic Troop Type from the Elite pool, which made him feel delighted.
Of course, potential requires time to be realized.
Strictly speaking for the present, Rukia was indeed only an Elite Troop Type.
Sensing the Aura emanating from Rukia, Chihiro fell into thought.
Elite Troop Type == Elite Jonin?
Not necessarily.
After all, if he had used prestige value to recruit Rukia, the cost would likely have been close to 100,000.
Chihiro didn't dwell on this matter for too long. After briefly feeling the slight increase in Spiritual Pressure and Kido Experience within him, he said, "Gin, go clean up the insects in the Uzushigakure."
Since he had decided to rebuild the Uzushigakure, the enemies still remaining in the Uzushigakure naturally had to be cleared out.
Furthermore, Chihiro was looking forward to seeing how much prestige value they could bring him.
Gin nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Lord Spirit King!"
As his voice fell, beams of white bandages appeared out of thin air. The moment they enveloped him, Gin's figure vanished.
Qianfan Baishe!
The name of the Move flashed through Chihiro's mind.
This was a Kido that allowed for instant movement. If he had the chance later, he could try learning it.
He then looked at Rukia and the others and said, "You all go as well."
"Yes!"
The rest of the people also disappeared.
However, their method was not as flashy as Gin's.
Chihiro was left standing alone on the ruins of the Uzumaki Clan ancestral shrine.
He wasn't worried about his own safety.
Besides his own strength, it was also because the troops recruited through the System would be forcibly teleported to his side if he was in danger.
Therefore, he wasn't worried about encountering danger.
