Uchiha Jun looked at this long list of unlocks and couldn't help but laugh angrily.
"Good guy... it's really like 'enter the venue naked, if you want to wear clothes, you have to pay extra'. Why am I so conscientious all of a sudden? I don't charge a ticket for admission. My love is waiting for me here."
Uchiha Jun made a rough calculation and found that if he wanted to unlock all the abilities, even with the discounted price, it would cost one hundred thousand Gold Coin - almost his entire net worth.
Although, if you enter with a complete victory, even Senju Hashirama can be used as a bountiful brush, but it is really not cost-effective to exchange one hundred thousand Gold Coin for twenty or thirty ninja fragments, even S-Rank Ninja.
"But... since it's a trial, there's no need to unlock them all."
Uchiha Jun's fingers slowly slid across the list, his eyes becoming focused and calm.
After thinking for a moment, I finally made my choice.
Uchiha Jun's fingers clicked on the panel several times.

"Perfect Sage Transformation and Eternal Eye will not be unlocked."
Uchiha Jun moved his wrist and felt the unlocked Kage Level chakra in his body flowing slowly through his meridians.
"This time, I will use the simplest way to win this battle."
Uchiha Jun clicked on the [Select Challenge Target] interface and scanned the long list of powerful people.
"Who should I choose..."
His eyes finally stopped on a name.
[Fourth Kazekage·Rasa(Magnet Release·Gold Dust)--Debris collection progress: 0/60]
"Rasa...Fourth Kazekage, good at Magnet Release·Gold Dust, can freely control Gold Dust to attack and defend, and can also fly in the air."
Uchiha Jun recalled the information about this Kazekage: "In terms of hard power, he is not the best among Kage Level, but his Gold Dust combines offense and defense, and has the ability to suppress Tailed Beasts - for me with limited abilities, he is a just right opponent (soft persimmon)."
Uchiha Jun clicked [Confirm].
[Challenge target: Fourth Kazekage·Rasa (peak period·full strength)]
[Mode: Real Mode]
[Battlefield terrain: Land of Wind·Desert]
[Constructing the battlefield...]
[Warning: Death in this mode is real death.]
[Are you sure to enter?]
Uchiha Jun took a deep breath, and then——a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Confirm."
Buzz--!!!
The space was instantly distorted, and the surrounding scenery was shattered and reorganized like a crushed sand painting. When Uchiha Jun's vision became clear again, he was already standing in an endless desert.
A heat wave hit us, the yellow sand rolled in the wind, and on the distant horizon, a scorching sun hung high, baking the entire desert like a furnace.
Tens of meters in front of him, a figure was standing quietly on the sand dunes.
Rasa is wearing a white Kazekage robe and a Kazekage bamboo hat, with a cold and majestic face.
Around Rasa, the golden Gold Dust flows slowly like a living creature, shining dazzlingly in the sun.
Fourth Kazekage·Rasa.
Rasa slowly raised his head, looking at Uchiha Jun with his cold eyes through the shadow of the bamboo hat.
"Who are you?"
Rasa's voice was low and gentle, with the majesty of someone who had been in power for a long time. "Looks like... just an ordinary ninja."
Uchiha Jun didn't refute, just lowered his head and looked at his status.
Kage-Level Chakra Reserves, operating normally, Compound No. 1's optimized body is full of vitality and resilience far beyond ordinary people. Kage-Level Basic Swordsmanship, his muscle memory has allowed him to use the sword to the point of perfection.
But - there is no Sharingan, no Sage Transformation, no Susanoo, no ability that he has long been accustomed to that can crush everything.
"A normal ninja..."
"It seems your value ends here."
"Brother, among Five Kage, you are the least valuable!"
Uchiha Jun pulled out Sword of Benevolence and Sword of Righteousness from his waist, turned them around on his fingertips, and felt the familiar weight and touch.
Then, smiled.
"Then let me see how an 'ordinary person' defeated Kazekage."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had shot out like an arrow, leaving a long smoke trail on the desert!
Rasa's eyes flashed, and the Gold Dust around him instantly surged, turning into a huge golden wall to block him!
"Magnet Release·Gold Dust wall!"
The figure of Uchiha Jun was galloping in the desert, with waves of sand exploding under his feet at an alarming speed.
Sword of Benevolence and Sword of Righteousness are intertwined in the hands, and the one-meter-long sword body flashes with a cold light in the sun - there is no fancy Lightning Style attached, no dynamic prediction of Sharingan, purely relying on the muscle memory brought by Kage-Level Basic Swordsmanship and the optimized physical explosive power of Compound No. 1.
"Clang--!!"
Sword of Benevolence slashed hard on the wall of Gold Dust, and a string of sparks burst out.
Rasa stood behind the Gold Dust wall, with a cold look in his eyes with a hint of disdain. "With this level of attack, do you want to break through my Gold Dust defense?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surface of Gold Dust's wall suddenly squirmed, and several sharp golden spears stabbed out, heading straight for Uchiha Jun's face!
Uchiha Jun's pupils shrank, his body fell back at the critical moment, and the spear almost passed by the tip of his nose.
At the moment when he leaned back, Uchiha Jun kicked the ground with his left foot, and used the force to rotate his body. Sword of Righteousness slashed in an arc against the ground, slashing towards Rasa's ankle!
"Humph."
Rasa didn't even move. Gold Dust under his feet automatically rose up to form a circle of golden protective walls, firmly blocking Sword of Righteousness's attack.
Uchiha Jun missed a hit, quickly retreated to distance himself, and stood firm on the sand.
"The response is good, but the strength is not enough." Rasa slowly raised his right hand, and the Gold Dust around him surged like a living creature, condensing into a golden wave behind him.
"If that's all you have, then that's it."
"Magnet Release·Gold Dust wave!"
The golden waves rose from the ground like a tsunami, reaching a height of more than ten meters, covering the sky and rolling towards Uchiha Jun!
Uchiha Jun stood there, staring calmly at the overwhelming golden waves.
He took a deep breath.
Then--
He didn't retreat, but rushed forward against the huge wave!
"Seeking death!"
Rasa pressed down with one hand, and Gold Dust huge waves crashed down!
Just when the huge wave was about to swallow Uchiha Jun, his body suddenly twisted at an incredible angle - he stepped hard on the sand with his right foot, and his body spun like a top. Sword of Benevolence and Sword of Righteousness pulled out two silver-white arcs during the rotation!
"Double sword·Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven slash!"
The two swords formed a small sword energy Uzumaki Clan while rotating at high speed. With the power of rotation, the blade cut into the gap of the Gold Dust waves, tearing a hole abruptly!
Uchiha Jun's figure shot out from the mouth, his body covered with golden gravel, but his eyes were astonishingly bright.
"I see..." Uchiha Jun turned over in the air and landed firmly.
"Gold Dust Although it has high density and hardness, your control method is too rough - it's like hitting ants with a huge hammer. It's powerful, but it also has many flaws."
Rasa's face darkened.
"A mere ordinary ninja dares to make irresponsible remarks on Kazekage's fighting style?"
The speed of Rasa's hands Hand Seals suddenly accelerated, and the golden Gold Dust quickly condensed in the air, turning into dozens of huge golden spears, suspended around Rasa, and the spear tips were all aimed at Uchiha Jun.
"Magnet Release·Gold Dust's Spear·Rain Burial!"
Dozens of golden spears poured down like a torrential rain, and the intensive attack almost sealed off all dodge space!
Uchiha Jun's eyes narrowed slightly.
Uchiha Jun did not choose to fight hard - instead he crossed his swords in front of his chest, his body sank slightly, and then he sprinted forward!
Uchiha Jun's pace is no longer a straight-line charge, but moves on the sand in an extremely weird rhythm - sometimes diagonally crossing to the left, sometimes turning sharply to the right, sometimes gliding almost close to the ground, and moving freely in the dense rain of golden spears!
This is the combat intuition brought by Taijutsu S-level ninja template, coupled with Compound No. 1's optimized physical fitness, allowing Uchiha Jun's body to make agile reactions far beyond ordinary people.
Although the intensity is not as good as Sage Transformation's state, this situation provides Uchiha Jun with an unprecedented combat experience.
A golden spear grazed Uchiha Jun's shoulder and tore a hole in his clothes, but Uchiha Jun didn't care and did not slow down.
five meters.
Three meters.
One meter--
The figure of Uchiha Jun appeared in front of Rasa like a ghost. Sword of Righteousness made a diagonal slash from bottom to top, going straight to Rasa's throat!
Rasa's expression changed, and he hurriedly controlled Gold Dust to form a shield in front of him.
But just when Sword of Righteousness was about to hit the shield, Uchiha Jun flipped his wrist, and the attack trajectory suddenly changed - Sword of Righteousness feinted upwards, but Sword of Benevolence stabbed out from below, directly to Rasa's abdomen!
"Magnet Release·Gold Dust Armor!"
The surface of Rasa's body was instantly covered with a thin layer of golden sand armor. The tip of Sword of Benevolence's sword pierced the sand armor, making a harsh friction sound. It barely penetrated before being stuck.
But there was a smile on Uchiha Jun's lips.
"Got you."
His body suddenly pressed forward. Not only did he not retreat, but he completely pressed his center of gravity upwards, using the weight of his body to push Sword of Benevolence forward!
At the same time, he raised his left knee suddenly, and hit Rasa's Gold Dust armor with a fierce knee strike!
"Bang!"
Although Gold Dust's armor could block the damage caused by the knee impact, the impact force was transmitted to Rasa's body through the armor, causing his figure to sway slightly.
At this moment, Uchiha Jun's Sword of Righteousness had swept over from the side, aiming directly at Rasa's neck!
Rasa had to retreat backwards in embarrassment, while controlling Gold Dust to form defensive walls one after another in front of him.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang--!"
Uchiha Jun's double swords struck the Gold Dust wall continuously like a violent storm. Each sword struck at the same point, and it was so accurate!
After twelve consecutive blows, a fine crack appeared on the wall of Gold Dust.
"What?!"
Rasa's pupils shrank suddenly.
His Gold Dust defense was actually cracked by an ordinary ninja without Sharingan or Kekkei Genkai using pure sword skills?!
Before he could react, Uchiha Jun suddenly sheathed his sword, turned around, and launched a clean backspin kick, hitting the crack hard!
"Click--!"
Gold Dust The wall shattered suddenly, golden fragments flying everywhere!
The figure of Uchiha Jun flashed in from the broken gap, with his swords crossed in his hands, and he pounced on Rasa like a cheetah!
"Double sword·Cross strangulation!"
Sword of Benevolence and Sword of Righteousness intertwined in the air, pulling out a silver-white cross slash and hitting Rasa's chest!
A flash of horror flashed in Rasa's eyes. In a hurry, he bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on Gold Dust in front of him--
"Magnet Release·Gold Dust Grand Burial!"
Gold Dust, soaked in blood, suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light. With Rasa as the center, the sand within tens of meters surged violently like boiling. Countless golden Gold Dust rose from the desert, forming a huge golden sphere, wrapping Rasa and Uchiha Jun at the same time!
Uchiha Jun's cross slash struck the inner wall of the golden sphere, leaving only two shallow white marks.
The surrounding golden Gold Dust slowly wriggled like living creatures, constantly compressing the activity space of Uchiha Jun.
Rasa stood in the center of the golden sphere, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth and a trace of madness in his eyes. "You are indeed not easy to force me to use this trick... but that's all."
"In this field, every Gold Dust is my eyes and arms. Every move you make is under my control. Without Sharingan, without Kekkei Genkai, what are you going to fight with me for?"
Uchiha Jun looked around, and the golden Gold Dust was surging around like waves, constantly shrinking the surrounding circle.
Uchiha Jun suddenly smiled.
"Who says--I can't create one myself if I don't have Kekkei Genkai?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly inserted Sword of Benevolence and Sword of Righteousness on the sand in front of him, with both hands Hand Seals - although this time, entering the challenge, Uchiha Jun did not redeem the ninjutsu module, but it does not mean that Uchiha Jun cannot use ninjutsu!
"Lightning Style·Muscle tremors·High-speed vibration!"
Kage Level chakra surges crazily in the meridians and is converted into Lightning Release Chakra, but it is not released outside the body, but is completely infused into the muscle fibers of one's body!
The optimized cells of Compound No. 1 began to tremble at an extremely high frequency under the stimulation of Lightning Style chakra - the effect of this tremor is an explosive increase in speed and an exponential increase in strength!
Uchiha Jun slowly pulled out the two swords on the ground. The swords were also covered with an extremely weak layer of lightning and made a buzzing trembling sound.
"Is this...?"
"Kumo Ninja's Lightning Style: Chakra Mode?!"
Rasa's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt that the aura on Uchiha Jun's body had changed.
It's not that it's become stronger, but it's become sharper.
"Field, right? Every Gold Dust is your eyes?"
Uchiha Jun bowed his body slightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became brighter.
"Then let me see if your eyes can keep up with my speed."
Before he finished speaking--
Uchiha Jun's figure disappeared.
Not Body Flicker Technique, not Substitution Technique, relying purely on the explosive power of muscles and the high-speed movement stimulated by Lightning Style, so fast that only a blurry afterimage was left in the golden Gold Dust field!
"What?!"
In Rasa's perception, Gold Dust did capture the position of Uchiha Jun, but his eyes and consciousness could not keep up with the opponent's speed at all!
"Double Swords·Buzzing Slash!"
A sharp sound broke through the air, and Uchiha Jun's figure appeared on the left side of Rasa like lightning. Sword of Benevolence, with a high-speed trembling buzzing sound, slashed hard at Rasa's Gold Dust armor!
"Dang--!"
This time, the sword blade no longer left a white mark, but cut directly into the Gold Dust armor!
Rasa's expression finally changed.
Rasa suddenly controlled Gold Dust to form a huge golden fist, and smashed it towards Uchiha Jun!
But Uchiha Jun's body once again turned into an afterimage, passing through the gap in the golden fist, and Sword of Righteousness took advantage of the situation and slashed towards Rasa's back!
"Clang, clang, clang, clang--!"
The high-speed trembling swords slashed crazily on Rasa's Gold Dust armor like the wings of a hummingbird. Each slash was heavier, faster, and more precise than the last!
Rasa can only continuously control Gold Dust to form a defense around the body, but Uchiha Jun's speed is so fast that his Gold Dust has no time to condense!
For the first time he felt--
The Magnet Release that I am proud of is being suppressed bit by bit by an "ordinary ninja" using pure Taijutsu and sword skills.
"Impossible... it's impossible!"
Rasa roared angrily, clasped his hands together suddenly, and poured all the chakra in his body into Gold Dust--
"Magnet Release·Gold Dust Grand Burial!"
The golden Gold Dust spewed out from the ground like a volcanic eruption, forming a huge golden shock wave, trying to knock Uchiha Jun away!
But Uchiha Jun had already predicted Rasa's intention one second before the shock wave arrived - the combat intuition brought by the Taijutsu S-level template gave him an almost instinctive perception of the enemy's chakra flow.
Uchiha Jun's legs suddenly exerted force, his body jumped high, turned over in the air, and avoided the frontal bombardment of the shock wave, and then--
The direction of his fall was directly above Rasa.
"Double sword·falling star!"
Sword of Benevolence and Sword of Righteousness intersected on top of their heads, their bodies falling downwards like meteors, with the high-speed trembling sword blade forming a cone-shaped cutting surface, piercing straight to the top of Rasa's head!
Rasa looked up at the figure falling from the sky, with a look of fear in his eyes for the first time.
He frantically mobilized Gold Dust to form layers of golden shields above his head, each layer being more than half a meter thick!
But the double swords of Uchiha Jun, supported by the tremors of Lightning Style, are terrifyingly sharp.
First floor--
Penetrate.
Second floor--
Penetrate.
The third floor--
Penetrate.
It wasn't until the seventh floor that Uchiha Jun's momentum was blocked.
But the distance between Sword of Benevolence's sword tip and Rasa's forehead is less than three centimeters.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Rasa's forehead.
Uchiha Jun was hanging in mid-air, the veins on his arms popped out, chakra was burning crazily in his meridians, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
"Brother Value."
"Your Gold Dust is indeed very strong."
"But your fighting method relies too much on 'quantity' and ignores 'quality'."
"You think Gold Dust is thick enough to block everything, so you don't repair Taijutsu, don't practice speed, and don't study the details of close combat."
"And when your proud defenses are penetrated--"
"What do you have left?"
Uchiha Jun's eyes flashed with a cold light. He suddenly retracted his swords, flipped his body in the air, and landed firmly on the ground.
And Rasa, at the moment Uchiha Jun put away his sword, instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment--
