After returning the completed registration form, Ayane received a black and red Demon Mask.
As for the exclusive custom Black Swan mask…
it would still take a week for the Anbu craftsmen to custom-make it, and naturally, there was no time to wait now.
[You have obtained a new title!] Just as her palm touched the Anbu mask, a faint light and shadow popped up in her field of vision.
Ayane didn’t rush to check the specific information but followed Woodpecker to the warehouse to collect combat supplies and Military Rations Pills.
Although she was just a new recruit.
the Anbu still provided plenty in terms of ‘labor protection supplies.’ Ten high-power explosive tags, five Kunai and five shuriken made of refined steel, along with corresponding Anbu-exclusive smoke bombs, signal flares, and so on.
All the bits and pieces added up to about twenty thousand ryo in cash value.
Of course, considering it was currently a period of Ninja war, the actual value of these combat supplies on the black market might be several times higher.
“The allowance for Ninja tools refreshes every month.” Woodpecker said indifferently, “What was issued before won’t be taken back; it’s at your personal disposal.
You can just come to the warehouse and collect it yourself in the future.” After speaking, he hesitated for a moment and then whispered a reminder: “If you come right at the end of the month, you might be lucky enough to get a few more explosive tags, and no one will say anything.” Ayane was enlightened.
Personal disposal, unified clearance at the end of the month…
Good grief, isn’t this just a hidden employee benefit…
She nodded to show she understood.
At the same time, she thought: although this Woodpecker seems to talk very little, he’s surprisingly responsible towards his own people, even remembering to share such little tricks.
By the time all the induction matters were handled, it was already dusk.
Woodpecker had no intention of resting at all, taking Ayane out of the Village overnight and rushing towards the east.
The Anbu’s way of doing things was indeed domineering.
When leaving the gates of Amegakure…
Woodpecker didn’t even bother to show his ID, simply brushing off the Ninjas who came to inspect them with the phrase ‘Anbu emergency mission.’ Ayane saw it very clearly from behind him.
When that person approached, Woodpecker’s speed didn’t slow down in the slightest…
The status of these regular guard Ninjas was probably lower than a speed bump to the Anbu!
After leaving Amegakure, they hurried for nearly a hundred miles.
The night had long since become as dark as ink, and the few signs of human life that could still be seen had completely vanished.
Woodpecker finally slowed his pace, looked back at the girl, and arranged, “Rest for a bit.
I’ll take the night watch.
We’ll continue at dawn.” He didn’t seem to have any intention of setting up a tent or building a fire.
Instead, with a few leaps, he jumped onto a large tree, choosing to make do on a branch for the night.
Ayane took the initiative and said, “Let’s take shifts.
I’ll take the first watch…” Before she could finish, she heard him say coldly, “No need!
I don’t trust a rookie just out of school like you!” Ayane: “…” Rebuffed, she had no choice but to follow his lead, finding a leafy tree next to Woodpecker’s and jumping up.
Taking a bite of a Military Rations Pill and ignoring the dry texture, the girl silently thought: “Panel!” Light and shadow leaped into her field of vision.
[New Title: Amegakure Anbu Member!] [Quality: Green] [Title Description: If you wear a mask long enough, you will forget the face behind it.] [Title Effect: While wearing a mask, the power of your Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu is increased by 15%!] [Title Reward: You have obtained 1,000 freely distributable Achievement Points!] 1,000 points!
I’m rich!
Ignoring the somewhat neurotic title description, Ayane’s eyes lit up when she saw the reward figure at the bottom.
She checked her current Achievement Point balance.
The number had already jumped to 2,111 points!
The two titles [Genin] and [Anbu] had provided her with a total of 1,800 Achievement Points.
Since she started using her cheats, she had never fought such a wealthy battle!
Of course, Ayane also noticed that the effects of these two titles were very interesting.
The effect of the [Genin] title was: While wearing an Amegakure forehead protector, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu power receive a 10% boost.
The effect of the [Anbu] title was: While wearing an Anbu mask, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu power receive a 15% boost.
Therefore, as long as she wore both the forehead protector and the mask, the effects of both titles would trigger simultaneously, increasing the power of her Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu by 25%!
‘In that case, when I promote to Chunin and Jonin in the future, or get promoted in the Anbu to Squad Leader, Captain…’ ‘At that time, new titles of the same type will definitely refresh!’ ‘And, if all the titles can be stacked…’ ‘Then when the war is over, if I can get recognition from other hidden villages and find a way to get an honorary forehead protector like “Friend of XX Village”…’ ‘After stacking them all up, I could at least achieve a 100% boost coefficient for Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu, right?’ ‘Wouldn’t that mean every single Ninjutsu would be a critical hit!?’ Jie jie jie!
Thinking of this.
She couldn’t help but curl her lips and fall into a daydream…
The ancestor Su Qin could wear the seals of prime minister for six nations; why can’t I, Ayane, wear the forehead protectors of five villages?
As long as the title boosts can stack.
She could wear a whole row of forehead protectors on her arms, at worst treating it like a cosplay of the Hung Ga Iron Wire Fist!
It turns out quantity really can make up for quality to a certain extent!
Question Danzo, understand Danzo, become Danzo!
“Swan, pay attention to your breathing!” Before ten seconds of excitement had passed, Woodpecker’s annoying voice came from her side: “I know you newcomers have large emotional fluctuations the first time you go to the battlefield, but we are Anbu.
Anbu Ninja do not need such vivid emotions!” Ayane’s smile vanished instantly.
Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, so the other person shouldn’t be able to see her embarrassment.
“My code name isn’t Swan, it’s Black Swan!” She was too embarrassed to correct his thoughts, so she instead reiterated: “Woodpecker, you called me the wrong name.” Woodpecker replied in a flat tone: “Ah, my apologies.
So it’s Black Swan?
I remembered incorrectly.” The code name is only three characters long, and you were the one who handed over the information form.
How could you remember it wrong?
Could you be any less sincere?
Ayane finally experienced the feeling she had when she was being perfunctory with the chubby kid, Nagayo Keishi…
Because Woodpecker had killed the conversation with just one sentence.
The brief exchange between the two came to an abrupt halt, and the atmosphere quickly fell silent again.
Ayane shifted her gaze back to the panel.
Since she was flush with points now, she naturally had to spend them heavily.
Her eyes scanned the current traits.
The prismatic trait [Person from Beyond the Heavens] could not be upgraded.
PASS!
The purple trait [Thin Uzumaki Bloodline] required 20,000 Achievement Points to upgrade.
PASS!
As for the remaining three traits.
They were the white [Ninja Tool Throwing], white [Basic Combat], and green [Elementary Ninjutsu Mastery].
How should she put it.
All three traits felt somewhat useful, but none seemed to offer a qualitative change in ability…
Ayane didn’t think for long.
She gritted her teeth and simply decided to advance them all together for balanced development!
The girl invested 2,000 Achievement Points in one go.
Following an allocation of 500, 500, and 1,000, she upgraded all three traits!
She was about to face the Shinobi World War head-on.
Every bit of improvement counted!
Who knows when it might save her life?
After all, the greatest tragedy in the world is dying with unspent money!
