"Hahaha!" Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
A hearty laugh came from the Raikage's office.
The Third Raikage looked at the intelligence on his desk and openly mocked the Kirigakure.
"The mighty Kirigakure was nearly wiped out by an unknown organization. What a huge joke in the Ninja World!"
"Let's see if they still brag about their Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist after this!"
The Third Raikage's eyes were filled with disdain.
However, he also understood that even though the Kirigakure constantly boasted about their Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they did possess some real skill.
To make the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist so miserable, this organization that suddenly appeared in the Uzushigakure must have some strength.
But he still didn't think highly of them, viewing them merely as monkeys who jumped out to snatch the fruits after they had destroyed the Uzushigakure.
Of course, this judgment was made because the intelligence they received was not as detailed as Konoha's.
Since Kirigakure had suffered a setback, the Third Raikage was in a good mood, and he casually asked, "How is the Jinchuriki experiment progressing?"
The secretary shook his head and said, "No progress."
The Third Raikage's smile immediately froze.
He shouldn't have opened his mouth!
The Third Raikage frowned and said, "Is the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique ineffective?"
The secretary continued to shake his head: "The Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique is already very perfect; it can suppress the Biju very effectively."
"Then why..."
The secretary quietly replied, "The Sealing Squad says it's due to the person. To create a Jinchuriki using the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique, the Uzumaki Clan's Physique is likely also required."
But... they already wiped out the Uzumaki Clan!
The Third Raikage was utterly dumbfounded.
At the same time, Iwagakure and the Sunagakure also received news of the Kirigakure's crushing defeat.
They all mocked and scorned them.
Beyond that, they didn't feel much else.
They just thought that this new force in the Uzushigakure had decent strength.
But they had no particular designs on the Uzushigakure, so naturally, they didn't pay much attention to the situation there.
After several days of fermentation, the Kirigakure became the biggest joke in the Ninja World during this period.
Even small ninja villages like Kusagakure could laugh at them.
It was truly the Kirigakure's darkest hour.
They were already at the bottom of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and now they had become a joke.
Only Konoha, which knew the truth, remained silent.
Uzushigakure.
In the past few days, Chihiro's face was almost splitting from smiling so much.
prestige value! So much prestige value!
At this moment, the prestige value on the System panel had already surpassed the 250,000 mark, and it was still rising!
It wasn't until a few days later that this trend finally stopped!
And the prestige value had reached over 300,000!
Seeing that the rate of prestige value increase was gradually stagnating, Chihiro began to rub his fists, preparing to draw cards... or rather, recruit Troop Types.
As usual, he first bathed and burned incense, then he spent over 100,000 prestige value to recruit about 10,000 Regular Troop Types and about ten Advanced Troop Types.
Currently, the Uzushigakure is in ruins awaiting reconstruction, and many places and positions require people.
Furthermore, the Captains and Lieutenants of each Division were also asking him for people, so these talents were still necessary.
After all, the operation of each Division cannot solely rely on the Captains and Lieutenants to arrange every single detail.
Moreover, the Uzushigakure also needs to establish its own army.
Therefore, Chihiro believed that these Regular Troop Types were essential.
However, once he unlocks Soul Reaper Academy, these Regular Troop Types will no longer require prestige value for recruitment.
He would simply put those with good Aptitude from Rukongai into Soul Reaper Academy for an intensive, cram-style education, so they could quickly contribute to the Uzushigakure.
After recruiting the Regular Troop Types and Advanced Troop Types, it was time for the Elite Troop Types.
To recruit Elite Troop Types, Chihiro no longer needed to spend prestige value.
Chihiro took out the ninja swords presented by the various Divisions and said, "System, consume six ninja swords to recruit six Elite Troop Types!"
Buzz!
A flash of purple light passed, and six figures appeared before Chihiro.
Chihiro looked at them one by one.
Ikkaku Madarame
Strength: vice-captain level
Position: Eleventh Division Third Seat
Ability: Zanpakuto, Hōzukimaru
...Isane Kotetsu
Strength: vice-captain level
Position: Fourth Division Lieutenant
Ability: Zanpakuto, Itegumo
...Tetsuzaemon Iba
Strength: vice-captain level
Position: Seventh Division Lieutenant
Ability: Zanpakuto, Kinshō Hōō
...Kusajishi Yachiru
Strength: vice-captain level
Position: Eleventh Division Lieutenant
Ability: Zanpakuto, Sanpo Kenjū
...Hisagi Shuuhei
Strength: vice-captain level
Position: Sixth Division Lieutenant
Ability: Zanpakuto, Kazeshini
...Ilfort Glanz
Strength: vice-captain level
Position: Subordinate of the Sixth Espada
Ability: Resurrección, Del Toro
Hmm?
The first few Elite Troop Types were all standard Thirteenth Division personnel. Although Ikkaku Madarame's position was only a Seat Officer, he could already use Bankai, making him a solid vice-captain level combatant.
The last Arrancar, however, surprised Chihiro a bit.
Logically speaking, drawing villain Troop Types from the shinigami series Troop Card Pool shouldn't be a problem.
But this was the first time he had drawn one.
Previously, after spending so much prestige value, he had only drawn Shinigami.
He didn't know why, but today an Arrancar appeared.
So, could he also draw Hollows?
Chihiro's mind raced, and he thought his idea should be fine.
However, is the probability of Hollows too low?
If you don't understand, ask. Chihiro directly submitted this question to the System.
"Ding! The host can increase the probability of Troop Types, Hollows, and Arrancars by selecting the 'Hueco Mundo' faction!"
Chihiro: "..."
If he hadn't asked, this System wouldn't have mentioned a single word!
He's only just finding out about such an important matter now?
"What was the previous card pool faction?"
"Ding! The System automatically defaults to the Shinigami faction!"
"Then why was it possible to recruit an Arrancar?"
"Ding! Although you can choose the Troop Type faction, all Troop Types can be recruited; it's just a matter of probability."
So, this time, was it a huge burst of his luck?
Recruiting a Troop Type with an extremely low probability?
Now that he knew this mechanism, he wouldn't be limited to only drawing Shinigami Troop Types in the future.
Occasionally, he could draw some Menos Grande and Arrancar and send them out to cause some trouble.
After all the Elite Troop Types were drawn, Chihiro arranged for them to take up positions in the various Divisions.
Only Ilfort Glanz was difficult for him to place.
After all, this was an Arrancar. He couldn't just have them stay with the Shinigami, could he?
Didn't he see the five Lieutenants glaring at him with hostile eyes?
If Chihiro wasn't here, they would probably be drawing their swords against each other.
Ilfort Glanz was very flustered.
As an Arrancar, he had come alone to the Shinigami's territory, and five Lieutenants had him surrounded!
What should he do? Waiting online, it's urgent!
