"Let me guess, Liusha. Did you obtain some kind of ability?"
Liusha did not hide it. "Yeah. The reward lets me add an annihilation effect to Iron Sand when I use Magnet Release to control it."
Torikaze knew of that ability. It was an offensive type.
The Sand Manipulation Technique had very low destructive power. Liusha had obtained something good this time, and his strength should have improved considerably.
But Torikaze still did not care. Even with one more power, he was still no match for a Six Paths Level opponent.
Since Torikaze could so casually let them obtain rewards, he naturally knew what he was doing.
Three Six Paths Level fighters were enough to suppress the entire Shinobi World.
Besides, the relationship between their four countries was now extremely stable and solid. He was merely doing them a favor; it was nothing important.
After a while, Ōnoki also left the Trial Tower.
He seemed rather calm, with no sign of joy.
"What's wrong, Ōnoki? You don't seem very happy."
Ōnoki shook his head. "No, no. It's just that I can't use the reward I received myself, so I missed an opportunity to increase my strength. But I can leave it for my disciple to use—a weapon of their choice."
Hearing this, Torikaze said, "A weapon of your choice is already an S-rank evaluation. That's no easy reward to get. It's just a pity you don't use weapons, or it could have improved your strength as well."
Ōnoki waved a hand. "It doesn't matter. Over the years, I've come to terms with it. It's impossible for me to go any further in the future. I should focus on training a successor and retire in peace."
Seeing him say that, both Mifune and Liusha could not help but sigh.
How high-spirited
