Multi-Anime, I Stand at the Forefront of Popularity Supremacy

"Seriously, don't treat Naruko like she's not a girl, okay?"

"Honestly, Naruko's school swimsuit is actually pretty nice..."

The next day. Sparkle took Sasuke and Naruto directly to the hot springs.

Sparkle herself didn't change, but Sasuke had already put on swim trunks. As for Naruto, Sparkle had prepared a women's Japanese school swimsuit... commonly known as a "deadly school uniform."

Not to mention, in this world, it wasn't even out of place. There were even more outrageous swimsuits in this world.

"The so-called 'water walking' is a technique where you attach Chakra to the soles of your feet and then stand on the water's surface."

Sparkle, wearing Zori, stood directly on top of the hot spring.

"Heh heh, not bad..."

Naruto stood on the water's surface and, surprisingly, didn't fall in.

But he seemed to get too carried away, and with a splash, he fell into the hot spring, his hair and body soaking wet.

The Bullet Comments flowed in again.

"The hot spring water is still. Once you get used to it, I'll take you to the rapids outside. Then you can get cocky if you want," Sparkle said as she walked down from the water. "Water walking is different from tree climbing. Tree climbing requires adhesion, while water walking requires Chakra to generate tension."

Compared to the previous episode, the editing of the Stage was mostly focused on how Naruto fell into the water.

It seemed the Stage also knew how to maximize the anime series' advantage.

By the end, Naruto and Sasuke could finally stand on the water's surface with some effort.

As a slice-of-life episode, Sparkle's gains from this episode were immense.

When the episode finally concluded, Sparkle's popularity surged to the top, breaking through 20,000 points. Coupled with the heat generated by subsequent comments, Sparkle's reward points increased again to 25,000.

She could even afford to buy another purple-quality four-star character card now.

[Episode 7 Broadcast Ended]

[Negotiations with the production team are complete]

[Please select two of the following items as your payment]

[1. Skill Card Single Draw Ticket (Purple), guaranteed to draw a random skill of four-star purple quality or higher, with a small chance of drawing a five-star golden quality random skill]

[2. Holy Light Blackout (Ninja Path Exclusive), four-star, during the broadcast of the Ninja Path anime series, you can choose to use Holy Light Blackout to obscure certain scenes]

[3. Local Synthesis Platform (Ninja Path Exclusive), four-star, allows for the fusion of external abilities or items with local abilities or items on the set, localizing them. The chosen local skills and items must be mastered and possessed by the actor. This synthesis platform's local items and abilities must originate from the Ninja Path anime series]

Who put together the Holy Paladin!

Sparkle immediately chuckled upon seeing Holy Light Blackout.

"Too bad it's anime-exclusive."

Otherwise, the skill would be quite useful sometimes.

Besides, although Sparkle would reveal a little, she had no intention of showing everything for everyone to see.

A little was like "holding a pipa behind a screen," like "large pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate."

All of it? That would be tasteless and unworthy of high society.

The difference between high vulgarity and high elegance was just this slight margin.

"If it weren't limited, I might choose it. It wouldn't be bad if it also affected others within the 'set'."

If it affected others, it would be equivalent to a combination of the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique and the Solar Flare.

Too bad she didn't have that ability.

"Choosing two out of three essentially means excluding one ability. I'm sorry, Holy Light."

Sparkle chose the guaranteed purple card single draw. Taking a gamble, a cheap car could turn into a motorcycle. With a guaranteed purple card, there was still a chance to get gold.

And the third option could ensure that the random skill she drew wouldn't be too useless, making it easier to convert into her own combat power.

"Come on, a single draw for a miracle!"

Let's add a chapter for every 50 blade donations. If it stays on the click ranking for 48 hours, I'll add 10 chapters.

Chapter Forty-One: Sparkle: I Have a Bold Idea

After the beginner's gift package, Sparkle's last card draw was for Mai Shiranui's character card.

Now that she finally had another skill card, Sparkle was also interested.

Come on, a single draw for a miracle!

In Sparkle's consciousness, a purple light flashed.

Then, Sparkle saw a skill card flash in her consciousness.

[Skill Card]

[Spirit Summoning Technique]

[Rarity: Four-star]

[A technique that allows the souls or physical bodies of the deceased to descend into a host body, using one's own or another's body as a vessel.]

[The casting of this technique requires Cursed Energy as its ability, and only Cursed Spirit Users can perform it.]

[Summoning the deceased requires the deceased's body or related components as a medium.]

[The physical body information and soul information can be summoned separately or simultaneously.]

[The card disappears after use.]

"This skill..."

This isn't some... Cursed Technique from Jujutsu Kaisen?

It's a technique where the villain summons Toji Fushiguro, but it backfires and they get killed instead.

However, this doesn't mean the technique is bad. On the contrary, it means this technique can perfectly replicate the power of the deceased.

It's basically the Jujutsu Kaisen version of Impure World Reincarnation.

Of course, there are differences between them.

"It requires Cursed Energy."

Many techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen require Cursed Energy to be used, which doesn't quite match my side.

It's a skill that's completely useless unless it's "localized."

"If I didn't have that Synthesis Platform, I really couldn't use it. Come to think of it, the rewards the stage gives seem to be helpful to me."

If I hadn't received two rewards, I wouldn't have been able to get the Synthesis Platform, and the skill would be unusable.

My luck is quite good.

Actually, all three rewards would be helpful to Sparkle.

"A local skill, and one I already possess... Ah, there really is one."

Sparkle initially looked down on Impure World Reincarnation that hadn't been modified by Orochimaru.

But just in case, Sparkle had actually copied this forbidden jutsu from the Scroll of Sealing.

Since she was going to synthesize them, it would be best to fuse two similar skills.

If Spirit Summoning Technique is useful, she'll be able to do some interesting things in the Land of Waves.

The Impure World Reincarnation ninjutsu itself isn't that difficult, Sparkle learned it quickly, so this is considered Sparkle's skill.

Sparkle opened the stage's Synthesis Platform interface.

She placed Spirit Summoning Technique in one slot and Impure World Reincarnation in the other.

A vortex appeared in Sparkle's consciousness, gradually merging the two energies. A hard-to-describe sensation began to churn within.

[Ninjutsu - Spirit Summoning Technique Synthesized]

[Ninjutsu - Spirit Summoning Technique]

[Allows the summoning of a deceased person's soul from the Pure Land to the present world using the deceased's body or a medium. Deceased who refuse the summoning will return to the Pure Land.]

[Requires the deceased's bodily tissue or Chakra as a medium to summon the deceased's soul into another's body. During the duration, the host body will transform into the deceased's physical form.]

[Summoning is divided into Limited Summoning and Perfect Summoning.]

[The maximum power of Limited Summoning is equal to that of the host body.]

[Perfect Summoning can replicate the deceased's power at their peak, but if the host body's power is too strong, it can be easily interfered with, causing an increase or decrease in power.]

[The host body will continuously consume its Chakra during the summoning period. Once the Chakra is depleted, the soul will be forcibly repatriated.]

[Souls not in the Pure Land cannot be summoned. Weak, unconscious souls cannot be summoned. Souls in special states cannot be summoned.]

"...This?"

Rather than Spirit Summoning Technique or Impure World Reincarnation, this ninjutsu seems more like a time-limited and condition-limited Reanimation Jutsu?

"Does the host's own condition determine the summoning duration?"

"A limited-time trial version of Reanimation Jutsu? Ah, it's not quite like that, it's more like a proxy battle? Or perhaps... a divine summoning?"

Don't say it.

It really is like a proxy battle.

Asking an ancestor to fight as a proxy?

For example, if Tsunade asked her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, to fight as a proxy, Hashirama would definitely be willing to help if he saw his granddaughter in danger.

"It's called Spirit Summoning Technique, but this is more like a Divine Summoning Hokage version. I wonder if Ashura and Indra can be summoned?"

If I use Naruto and Sasuke as mediums, can I summon Ashura and Indra?

But the Skill Card also says that only souls in the Pure Land can be summoned. The exact status of these two is uncertain, and there's a possibility of refusal.

"Learned."

After learning it, the purple card began to shatter, turning into specks of purple light. These purple lights entered Sparkle's mind from the stage's system interface.

"Chi... Hai... In... What long hand seals."

The Spirit Summoning Technique requires preparation: first, draw a formation, then perform hand seals.

The duration of the Spirit Summoning Technique is related to the Chakra used by the summoned soul.

The more Chakra a summoned spirit uses, the shorter its duration, and it may even overdraw the container's life. Even without using Chakra, the container's Chakra will be continuously consumed, which is also related to the container's own Chakra control and Chakra capacity.

"So that's how it is..."

Sparkle finally understood.

However, at this moment, where could she find Chakra or the body tissues of the deceased to perform the Spirit Summoning Technique on herself?

"It seems there really is."

Naruto Uzumaki.

Inside Naruto Uzumaki, there is the Chakra of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and also the Chakra of his mother, Kushina Uzumaki.

The Fourth Hokage cannot be summoned; Minato Namikaze's soul is not in the Pure Land, but inside the Shinigami.

But Kushina's soul... seems summonable.

Believe it or not, this actually works.

"If Kushina saw Naruto's current situation, would she find it peculiar?"

Although there are no conspiracy theories in the real world, Naruto's current situation is indeed not good.

"I've decided."

After understanding the current situation in the Land of Waves, Sparkle already had a plan.

But this Spirit Summoning Technique is such an interesting amusement, it would be a shame not to use it.

It's like having a button in front of you, and not pressing it... it just feels uncomfortable, doesn't it?

"The plan for the Land of Waves needs to be revised."
