Soi Fon had already detected Sakumo Hatake when he entered the Uzushigakure.
Chihiro was not surprised by Sakumo Hatake's appearance.
With such a huge commotion in the Hidden Mist Village, how could Konoha not send someone over?
However, Chihiro did not let Soi Fon kill him.
Instead, he allowed him to comfortably act as a war correspondent, recording all the intelligence about this battle.
Chihiro even kindly had Soi Fon give him a ride, fearing that the situation here might not be conveyed back to Konoha.
He wanted him to give Konoha a small shock and earn a wave of prestige value.
After this battle, Chihiro had almost moved from poverty to prosperity.

[Unlocked Troop Card Pool: shinigami series]
[Unlocked Building: Rukongai]
[prestige value: 127765]
The prestige value once again broke the 100,000 mark and was still skyrocketing!
Chihiro temporarily did not spend these prestige points.
The news of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's defeat in the Uzushigakure had not yet spread.
Once the Kirigakure returned to the Hidden Mist Village, the prestige value would surge again, plus there was Sakumo Hatake's contribution.
Chihiro decided to wait for the situation to ferment before spending all the prestige value!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing Main Quest Stage Two. Building 'senkaimon' has been unlocked!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the quest: Hidden Mist Invasion. Building 'Seireitei' has been unlocked!"
Oh right, there were quests!
Only after the System's reminder did Chihiro remember that Main Quest Two had been completed.
As for 'Hidden Mist Invasion,' it was a quest triggered when the Kirigakure were about to land in the Uzushigakure.
Chihiro opened the map of the Uzushigakure provided by the System, and two waiting-to-be-placed phantom images appeared on it.
Chihiro first placed the Seireitei in the very center of the Uzushigakure, with Rukongai connecting to its outer perimeter.
However, the two were separated by the Seireitei's massive wall.
The wall was constructed from Spirit-isolating Sakki-ishi.
Preventing the Souls of Rukongai from passing through the wall and entering the Seireitei.
The Seireitei did not possess special effects like Rukongai but did have some basic buildings.
For example, the Thirteen Court Guard Squads Headquarters, the Thirteenth Division barracks, the Technical Development Bureau, etc.
Moreover, the environment within was beautiful, a place where Shinigami and some nobles resided.
However, important buildings like the Shino Academy were missing. Chihiro guessed that such important buildings might require separate unlocking.
Next, Chihiro placed the senkaimon within the Seireitei.
[senkaimon: Set coordinates, enter the gate, and you can travel to any location in the Ninja World.]
This effect made Chihiro's eyes light up.
Originally, the senkaimon was a gate connecting the Soul Society and the Human World.
He didn't expect it to be modified by the System into a spatial gate.
This was quite good; in the future, if any Ninja village annoyed him, he could just open the gate and release Shinigami!
Launch a blitzkrieg and catch them off guard!
As for the coordinates, they were on the map provided by the System; he just needed to set them according to the map for wherever he wanted to go.
With the Seireitei and senkaimon in place.
The Uzushigakure was now vastly different from before.
What was once a dilapidated ruin had now transformed into a bustling metropolis with prosperous architecture.
Chihiro no longer needed to stay cooped up in Rukongai.
However, before leaving Rukongai, he still had something to do.
In today's Ninja World, friction between the major Ninja villages was constant.
Every day, people died, and coupled with the characteristics of Rukongai, the number of Souls in Rukongai had increased.
Moreover, just recently, the Uzushigakure had experienced a war.
Many deceased Kirigakure were absorbed by Rukongai.
Chihiro discovered that the Souls of these Ninja were of a higher quality than those of ordinary civilians.
Furthermore, the greater their strength in life, the more spirit particles they possessed, giving them the Aptitude to become Shinigami.
"It seems that one's strength in life has a significant impact on their Soul after death."
Chihiro pondered.
"Hmm? What's that?"
Just then, Chihiro suddenly saw a familiar face.
Long green hair, thick eyebrows, sharp teeth, his upper body wrapped in bandages, covered by a black vest.
What a coincidence, isn't that Kurotsuchi Raiga?
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for discovering a high-quality Soul. Would you like to view the Soul's data?"
Chihiro said in surprise, "You have this function too? View it!"
[Kurotsuchi Raiga]
[Potential: vice-captain level]
[Strength in Life: Elite Jonin]
[Recommendation: Recruit into Shino Academy to become a Shinigami]
vice-captain level potential!
This truly is a surprise!
Recruit! Must recruit!
But this Kurotsuchi Raiga is quite unlucky.
Killed by the Uzushigakure in life, and even after death, he has to contribute to the Uzushigakure.
Of course, isn't this also his opportunity?
Becoming a Shinigami means he transcends his species.
Shinigami, after all, are long-lived beings... Once the characteristics of Shinigami are spread, countless people will likely rush to become Shinigami.
Unfortunately, not everyone possesses the Aptitude to become a Shinigami.
Chihiro called Rukia and asked her to note down Kurotsuchi Raiga and others who had less potential but still had a chance.
He would wait until the Shino Academy was unlocked to absorb them.
At the same time, during the recording process, Chihiro also discovered another of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
[Munashi Jinpachi]
[Potential: vice-captain level]
[Strength in Life: Elite Jonin]
[Recommendation: Recruit into Shino Academy to become a Shinigami]
Excellent, another vice-captain level!
Could it be that those who reached Elite Jonin strength in life will possess vice-captain level potential?
Chihiro pondered.
Unfortunately, there were too few references, so he couldn't be 100% sure.
Chihiro walked around Rukongai again but did not see the other two Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
It seemed they were not absorbed by Rukongai.
After all, Rukongai only has a 50% chance.
He wasn't disappointed, he instructed Rukia to handle the matter well, then turned to Seireitei to pick out a house.
On the other side, the few remaining Kirigakure who had escaped the Uzushigakure returned to the Hidden Mist Village.
Kisame Hoshigaki and Suikazan Fuguki, disheveled and with grim expressions, knocked on the Mizukage's office door.
