“This is one of the forty-eight irreplicable Imperial Arms, forged over a thousand years ago by gathering the entire empire’s power.
Top-class Danger Beasts, countless rare treasures, all refined through alchemy—Mastema: Wings of a Thousand Miles…” Gazing at the pair of silver discs engraved with mysterious patterns in his hands, Sasuke’s eyes gleamed.
In the manga, the wielder of this Imperial Arm was Ran of the Jaegers.
It not only grants flight, but can also launch feather projectiles.
It’s not that there are no means of flight in this world, but they are exceptionally few and far between, extremely rare.
Even in Konoha, he had never heard of any shinobi who could truly fly.
The importance of aerial superiority in shinobi combat is self-evident.
Even Sasuke couldn’t suppress a faint smile.
Reading manga really does pay off!
It seems I might get my chance at revenge against Uchiha Itachi sooner than I thought!
Shendai said, “The rewards from this manga shop are genuine.
Feel free to test it out outside.” “Mm.” Sasuke nodded and took the Mastema Imperial Arm outside.
At this moment, he felt a blood-deep connection with the Imperial Arm, as if his own limbs were an extension of it.
He moved it with his mind.
The two silver discs slowly levitated behind him.
Suddenly, a halo radiated from the silver discs, and snow-white feathers rapidly sprouted forth.
Whoosh— Two snow-white wings unfurled abruptly, exuding a sacred aura.
Naruko and Haruno Sakura both stared for a moment, then their faces filled with unconcealed envy.
Then, with a flap of the wings behind him, Sasuke shot straight up into the sky.
“Sasuke, he’s so cool!” Haruno Sakura shouted excitedly.
“Sasuke, you can actually fly?” Naruko muttered to himself, then glanced down at his own sailor outfit.
Suddenly, this thing doesn’t seem so great anymore… “Whoa!
Look, Mom, someone’s flying!” “Really!” “He’s got wings like an angel!” “Isn’t that Sasuke from the Uchiha clan?” “How is he doing that?” Seeing Sasuke soaring through the air with a pair of snow-white wings on his back, the people on the street were stunned.
Even though this was the world of shinobi, seeing a person flying in the sky with wings was still astonishing.
Sasuke did a simple test flight, then descended back to the front of the manga shop.
But the excitement in his heart still hadn’t faded.
To gain the power of flight so easily felt like a dream.
And more importantly, he now knew that this manga shop truly possessed unimaginable capabilities.
He absolutely had to visit this shop more often in the future.
He would definitely obtain more rewards.
Then, one day, he would finally get his revenge on Uchiha Itachi!
But for some reason, the moment he thought of the scene in Akame ga Kill!
where the two sisters, Akame and Kurome, faced each other with blades, a pang shot through his heart.
Could it be that Uchiha Itachi did what he did for reasons similar to Akame’s?
He hated Uchiha Itachi from the bottom of his heart and didn’t want to believe that could be true.
But once that thought surfaced, it was like a demon he couldn’t shake, no matter how hard he tried.
“Thank you, boss.” Sasuke didn’t dare dwell on it any longer, afraid the hatred in his heart might waver.
He thanked Shendai.
Shendai smiled.
“If you think it’s worthwhile, feel free to visit often.” “Definitely.” Sasuke nodded.
The first manga read cost five thousand ryo.
The second would be ten thousand, the third twenty thousand… That price tag was still very stressful for him.
But compared to the ability he’d gained from the manga, it was nothing.
He had to come often.
With that thought, Sasuke made up his mind to find all the remaining money his family had left behind and come back to read more manga tomorrow.
Naruko stepped forward and draped an arm over Sasuke’s shoulder, saying proudly, “So?
The manga shop I introduced you to is seriously amazing, right?” “Hmph.” Sasuke gave a short grunt.
That was as good as a yes.
At that moment, Haruno Sakura finally finished reading Akame ga Kill!
System information appeared.
[Customer Haruno Sakura has finished reading Akame ga Kill!
and obtained—”Danger Beast: Snow Demon Ape”!] [‘Danger Beast: Snow Demon Ape’—A Danger Beast inhabiting the frigid northern lands.
Extremely lecherous in nature, it takes particular pleasure in attacking beautiful human women.
It is the most dreaded Danger Beast among the women of the empire.] “…” Seeing the information on the Snow Demon Ape, Shendai fell silent.
As for this reward… Sakura, you’d better pray for yourself… After finishing the manga, Haruno Sakura came over to Shendai and asked eagerly, “Boss, what did I get?
Is it something good?” Sasuke had drawn an Imperial Arm, so hers couldn’t be too bad, right?
Even if it wasn’t an Imperial Arm, maybe it was a Teigu user’s weapon.
Anyway, as long as it was something that could bring her closer to Sasuke, it was worth it.
“Cough.” Shendai coughed lightly and said, “Go outside.
Your reward is a bit… large.
This manga shop can’t contain it.” “Really?!” Hearing this, a flash of delight crossed Haruno Sakura’s eyes.
Too big to fit inside the shop?!
What could it be?!
Could it be the one originally meant to be the strongest Imperial Arm, the Guardian of the Nation—The Supreme Throne?!
Haruno Sakura excitedly ran outside the manga shop and called out, “Boss, I’m ready!” Shendai wanted to say: No, you’re not ready.
But according to the rules, it was better to let her see for herself.
Hum— At that moment, a brilliant beam of light descended from the sky.
The beam was nearly twenty meters high and several meters thick, taking up the entire street.
Both Sasuke and Naruko were a bit surprised.
That huge?
What is it?
Haruno Sakura looked up at the pillar of light, clenching both fists, and said excitedly, “Amazing… It’s so huge…” As the light began to solidify, A giant figure, over ten meters tall, gradually took form.
Suddenly, an ear-splitting ape’s roar echoed out.
The sound surged like a tidal wave, shaking everything around it.
“What?!” The smile on Haruno Sakura’s face instantly froze.
A bad feeling crept into her heart… She had a feeling the gap between this reward and her imagination was going to be huge… The beam of light dissipated.
A colossal demon ape with snow-white fur, pitch-black skin, and a single horn stood there like a small mountain of snow.
“ROAR—” The Snow Demon Ape reared its head and howled, pounding its chest with fists that boomed like thunder.
It suddenly lowered its head, and a scorching glint flashed through its eyes.
“EEEEK!” Seeing this, Haruno Sakura turned pale with fright and panicked.
“Boss, what kind of monster is this?!” “Your reward.
The Snow Demon Ape.” Shendai explained, giving her the rundown.
“A Danger Beast with a particular fondness for attacking beautiful human women.
Once it locks onto a target, it will pursue them relentlessly.” “Danger Beast?!
Why?!
Why did I get stuck with something this terrifying?!” Haruno Sakura said, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Boss, can I just… not take this reward?” Shendai shook his head.
“The reward has already been issued.
It no longer has any connection to this shop.
This Snow Demon Ape now belongs to you.
How you deal with it is your own problem.”
