Death Necklace, Coiled Dragon Ring

Tsunade took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, her chest heaving with the turbulent waves.

"Two questions."

She held up two slender, fair fingers. "First, after forming a contract with the Sovereign, what will we be required to do?"

"Second, what are the conditions to truly revive someone? How much must be paid?"

Jiraiya, who normally only drank, wrote novels, and drooled over the exchange list, finally proved his worth.

He was the first to respond, "To revive an ordinary person requires only 1000 Reward Points and a B-rank Destiny Gem."

"The stronger the revived person's power, the more Reward Points are needed, but the number of Destiny Gems required does not increase."

Orochimaru's tongue, like a snake's, flicked across his lips, a wild and charming smile appearing on his face as he took over the conversation. "As for what we'll be required to do? To be perfectly honest, we don't know. But so far, I've accepted two missions."

"The first was to make Jiraiya despair."

He pointed a pale finger at the Sage of the Toads' large, bald head. Orochimaru stated with certainty, "The final result was that he became a Reincarnator."

"And the second mission is to bring you into our fold."

Hearing this, Tsunade's delicate eyebrows furrowed, a speck of red on her brow like blood.

Changing others' destinies?

Or was it finding more followers of the Sovereign?

No, she couldn't call Orochimaru and Jiraiya followers. They should be called "Reincarnators." It seemed that the mysterious Sovereign didn't need anyone's faith.

Were its recruitment criteria famous and powerful ninjas of long standing?

Thinking this way...

Tsunade felt she had no reason to refuse.

The instant this thought formed, a string of floating text appeared before Tsunade's eyes.

"Do you wish to revive your loved ones and lost lovers?"

"Yes/No."

She subconsciously glanced at the two people beside her and found they were both waiting for her reply, neither of them seeing the light screen in front of her. So she said softly, "Yes."

At the same moment, Orochimaru and Jiraiya received mission completion notifications.

"Reincarnator 001/002 completed mission, obtained 650 Reward Points."

Orochimaru immediately exchanged all the Reward Points for research data and materials. He left the other two, abandoned this gambling sanctuary built to complete the mission, and dove headfirst into his laboratory.

After all, the Sovereign's gold and jewels were incredibly cheap.

Take gold, for example. 1 Reward Point per cubic meter. Many ordinary alloy materials were sold for more than gold. Every Reincarnator who understood the value of Reward Points would receive the "looks down on money as dirt" buff.

Jiraiya, with great distress, scrolled through the exchange list.

He wasn't a mad scientist like Orochimaru. There were many things and abilities he wanted to exchange for but couldn't afford, and those he could afford, he didn't care for or was unwilling to part with.

"Excuse me, how can one obtain Reward Points and B-rank Destiny Gems?" Tsunade asked, appearing very pragmatic.

"Reward Points can be obtained by completing missions and decomposing extraordinary items carrying the power of destiny. B-rank Destiny Gems require completing special missions or significantly altering the destiny of specific individuals to have a chance of obtaining them."

A mechanical, emotionless voice sounded in Tsunade's ear. "Your question allowance for this week has been used up. If you have further doubts, please save them for next week."

Tsunade blinked, and subconsciously clutched the necklace at her chest.

Instantly, countless light strings appeared before her eyes. These light strings pulsed and twisted like musical notes, condensing into text.

[First Hokage's Necklace: A relic of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. It contains the sealing of First Hokage's Chakra that restrains the Nine-Tails and condenses some of the Hokage's luck. For those not favored by destiny, possessing this item will result in backlash, misfortune, and death. Can be converted into 1200 Reward Points.]

"Favored by destiny... So that's how it is..."

Tsunade gave a tragic smile.

She had given this necklace to Nawaki, and Nawaki had died. She had given it to Dan, and Dan had also died tragically.

"Why keep it? Might as well convert it into Reward Points."

"After deducting the 1200 points spent, the total income this time is 10500 Resource Points."

Wang Yan touched his fingers together, gently rubbing the First Hokage's Necklace he had just acquired. "Including the previous surplus, there are now 61000 points in total."

This brought him one step closer to his goal.

When a Reincarnator found an extraordinary item that condensed the power of destiny and was willing to convert it into Reward Points, they would split it 50/50 with Wang Yan.

It was difficult to act maliciously in this regard. After all, if a Reincarnator were to obtain Arthas's Frostmourne in the future and happily sell it for over a thousand Reward Points, only to see its price in the exchange list was over ten thousand...

Would the Sovereign still have any face left?!

When operating in endless planes, one had to maintain a certain decorum.

However, this time, Wang Yan did not follow the normal procedure. He only paid the required 1200 points and acquired the First Hokage's Necklace, valued at approximately 2400 Reward Points.

He would modify it slightly, and it would be a perfect gift when he returned to Earth.

"Without a storage item on hand, it feels a bit lacking in prestige..."

Wang Yan was referring to portable spatial storage items like Sumeru pouches, storage rings, and Qiankun bags.

He found the commonly used sealing scrolls by ninjas to be too cumbersome and their distinct artistic style too pronounced, so he wasn't keen on using them.

"Over 61,000 Resource Points... I'll use this thousand as a remainder to solve this problem..."

With a thought, Wang Yan decided to exchange for a space ring.

He had his eye on a ring called "Na," which seemed quite good.

However, the Assistant Program offered a more constructive suggestion, causing him to abandon his original idea.

"There's actually a way to do that?"

Following the Assistant Program's instructions, Wang Yan spent the thousand Reward Points separately.

Eight hundred points were used to acquire something called the "Space Dao Talisman"—it appeared as a palm-sized sphere, enveloped in black light that seemed to absorb and distort even the light that shone upon it.

The remaining two hundred points were exchanged for a superior metal carrier for spatial energy, a rare specialty from the Xianxia world known as "Xi Ling Gold."

Wang Yan's current "Comprehension," "Aptitude," and "Root Bone" had already reached the pinnacle of human potential. It only took him about a minute to absorb the Space Dao Talisman into his body before he gained a cognition and comprehension of spatial laws.

Using Telekinesis, he enveloped, vibrated, compressed, polished, and buffed the Xi Ling Gold, simultaneously imprinting it with the aura of the Space Dao Talisman.

A moment later, a delicate, pale gold dragon-head ring appeared on Wang Yan's left pinky finger.

"It can hold about 100 square meters of items. It cannot store living beings."

Overall, Wang Yan was quite satisfied with this self-made spatial ring.

After all, directly exchanging for a similar item with 1,000 Resource Points would yield a capacity of at most 10 cubic meters.

"This will suffice as a temporary measure and substitute. Once I fully comprehend spatial laws, I can even create my own exclusive world capable of housing life."

"I'll call this ring 'Coiled Dragon'."

Wang Yan sat on his bed, and with a thought, his Telekinesis pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window, allowing the moonlight to stream in.

While the complete spatial laws could also be exchanged for with Resource Points, they were too expensive, prohibitively so.

Even the Lesser Spatial Law required a full 50,000 Resource Points, which would instantly send Wang Yan back to square one if he were to purchase it.

For now, his priority was accumulating points, and he would do his best to avoid any major expenditures.

The next day.

Beside the Hokage Rock.

The members of Team 7 were all present.

"Future plans?"

Sasuke, hands in his pockets, sneered inwardly.

No matter what plans this self-important teacher Wang Yan had, they had nothing to do with him.

The sole purpose of his existence was to kill that man!
