Taro huffed and fell down on his knees, his chakra and stamina fully depleted. The toll on his chakra from Shadow Clones and ninjutsus was taking its effect.
"My chakra reserve is really shit, isn't it?" Taro asked himself.
He glanced at his right and saw another mission.
[Side Quest: The Eastern Invasion
Survive without fleeing: In progress
Penalty: Death]
Taro sighed and looked around. There were dead bodies everywhere, and more Hosai were falling than Hebidoku.
Taro tried to stand up, but his legs gave out. The adrenaline from the fight was now fully gone, causing the spike of energy to deplete itself.
Seeing a young ninja, one of the Hebidoku clan rushed toward Taro and swung his sword. However, in seconds, his body was blown to pieces.
A kick from Toji sent him flying, slices from Fuji tore him limb from limb, and finally, a single Fireball from Nao obliterated him.
Shocked, Taro gasped, "You guys! Finally, reinforcement is here!"
Nao rushed toward his brother and asked, "Are you ok, Taro?"
Taro nodded, then suddenly he remembered the old man that was fighting the other Mole bastard. He looked around and saw Housen standing on top of Mole 1's dead body.
Taro let out a sigh of relief. Moments later, from behind Nao and the others, one hundred and fifty ninjas surged forward like a bursting flood, slaughtering every Hebidoku member still inside the walls.
Housen ran toward Fuji and pointed outside of the walls, "Jiren is out there, still fighting their reinforcement!"
Fuji nodded and took Toji with him to help Jiren out. But what they saw made their jaws drop.
The sand turned red, littered with piles of corpses. Nearly fifty ninjas lay dead upon the blood-soaked ground, while several more, wounded, were forced into retreat. Any ninja who tried to pass Jiren was killed by a single punch, and those who attempted to avoid him were dragged back by Earth Release.
The bodies bore no sword cuts or blade wounds; each had been killed by a hole torn straight through their body. Some faces were caved in with deep dents, while others had been left with nothing at all.
Jiren stood strong, his body covered in wounds and ninja tools. His head was filled with his own blood, yet his eyes stayed open, ready to kill anyone who tried to pass him.
Fuji and the other ninjas snapped out of their daze and rushed toward Jiren. The medical-nins took Jiren while the combatants ran toward the enemy.
Toji took the lead with immense speed and kicked a ninja in the stomach. The ninja was sent flying, crashing into his comrades. He spun around and punched a Hebidoku clansman, killing him with a single blow.
The clansmen sent to the eastern wall weren't strong, with most of them being chunin-level ninjas. The strongest ninjas being the two Mole Brothers, both at the peak of chunin.
Within half an hour, the Hebidoku clansmen were eliminated, with only a few taken back for information.
A few hours later
In one of the tents, Taro was sitting down while covered in gauze. Once he recovered some of his chakra, he joined the battle to gain some experience. During the battle, he was cut and struck more times than he could count, but from each damage inflicted on him, a new valuable experience was gained.
Taro chuckled, "I gotta thank that chakra recovery card. It's a lifesaver."
He opened the system and popped open a soda, then he finally opened the rewards he got from the side quest.
[System Rewards:
3 Bronze Cards
3 Silver Cards
2 Gold Cards
2 Blue Cards.]
Taro spat his drink and coughed, "What the fuck?!"
Without waiting any further, he opened the three Bronze Cards first.
The three Bronze Cards weren't bad, for a Bronze Card at least. The first card was 50 thousand sheets of paper, while the second was an empty fridge. The third and final Bronze Card was the most useful of the three, cannabis seeds.
"Oh shit!"
Taro laughed uncontrollably and thought of how much weed would sell for in the ninja world, where stress is at an all-time high.
The second cards were opened—the Silver Cards. With his "luck" at an all-time high, Taro gained another much-needed item: an energy container, or simply, a big-ass battery.
"Hehehehe! Say goodbye to heat wave, bitches!"
The two Silver Cards were dog shit compared to what he gained from the earlier pulls, as the last two were just ryos.
"Onto the Gold Cards."
Taro opened the Gold Cards. The first card gave a fox mask that hid his presence, but once someone has seen them with their eyes, the user's presence will come back. Not only does it hide breathing or even the sound of heartbeat, it hides chakra too.
The second Gold Card was a recovery card, allowing the user to recover visible to the eye. Although the recovery isn't as strong as Hashirama or Tsunade, it was good enough to help in battle.
Finally, the moment Taro had been waiting for, the two Blue Cards.
From the last Blue Card, Taro gained a legendary item that could change the entire clan if taught to the right people.
Taro opened the Blue Cards and closed his eyes, "Oh please let me get some OP shit!"
When Taro opened his eyes, his jaw dropped. The two cards were a duplicate of each other, but that wasn't the reason for his shocked expression.
[Blue Card: Temu Zenkai Boost
Description: When recovering from a near-fatal injury, the user will gain a medium amount of power increase. The more deadly the injury, the stronger the user will be.]
