At first, Yun Xi had thought the system could only make his subordinates stronger.
But he hadn't expected it to not only suggest ways to strengthen them,
but also provide a general overview of their information.
What impressed Yun Xi most was that the companion-training feature could even check their loyalty!
That meant he wouldn't have to worry about other ninjas betraying or deceiving him when he tried to recruit them!
"Open the Companion Training Shop."
After closing the three of their status panels, Yun Xi opened the shop interface within the companion-training system.
"Damn system, are you ripping me off?"
The companion-training system had its own built-in shop.
The items it sold weren't much different from those in Yun Xi's Pay-to-Win Shop.
Besides some regular ninjutsu, the shop also sold all kinds of Kekkei Genkai.
But the prices were higher than those in Yun Xi's original Pay-to-Win Shop.
That was why Yun Xi was so furious!
"This system has always been fair to everyone and would never rip off its host."
Perhaps sensing Yun Xi's anger, the system spoke up to defend itself.
"Then tell me, why are all the items in the companion-training shop more expensive?"
Yun Xi could actually accept a slight price increase.
But this increase was just too outrageous!
The Byakugan, which originally cost only 1,000 Krypton Gold Points, was ten times more expensive in the companion-training system.
It now cost a full 10,000 Krypton Gold Points.
"The item prices haven't changed at all. The additional cost is a service fee."
"If the host thinks the price is too high, you can choose not to buy it."
The system gave Yun Xi a detailed explanation in response to his question.
It also offered him a not particularly reliable solution...
"Not buying isn't an option, but I'm still going to complain!"
After hearing the system's explanation, Yun Xi felt conflicted.
Still, he had no choice but to accept the system's unreasonable terms.
After all, spending money was undoubtedly the best way for Yun Xi to increase his strength.
"Return to the built-in Pay-to-Win Shop..."
Faced with the system's unfair terms, Yun Xi had nothing to say.
He simply closed the companion-training feature and returned to the system's built-in interface.
With more than 200,000 Krypton Gold Points in hand, Yun Xi planned to strengthen himself first.
Then he would consider increasing Karin and the others' strength...,
"Purchase the Four Elemental Training Talent Books."
After browsing the shop, Yun Xi decided to buy the Five Basic Ninjutsu training talents first.
That would make up for the lack of variety in his offensive techniques.
Judging by the ninjutsu Yun Xi currently knew, aside from Fire Style, he had no other worthwhile means of attack.
And Amaterasu, which came with the Sharingan, was also just an enhanced form of Fire Style.
If he encountered an equally strong enemy whose ninjutsu countered his own,
Yun Xi would be in serious trouble.
So, to prevent that from happening, he decided to make up for his weakness first,
before it could become the weak link that held him back.
"Ding. The four ninjutsu talent books cost 40,000 Krypton Gold Points in total. Would you like to pay?"
When the system prompt appeared, Yun Xi didn't hesitate and immediately confirmed the purchase.
Watching 40,000 points disappear made his heart ache a little.
But Yun Xi still bought the ninjutsu talent books without hesitation.
Since Yun Xi's chakra nature was only Fire-type,
he needed to buy talent books for the other chakra natures before he could learn their corresponding ninjutsu.
"System, do you sell the four elemental ninjutsu?"
Once the payment went through, Yun Xi transformed from a ninja who knew only one chakra nature into one proficient in all of them.
He could even faintly sense the different chakra natures in the air!
"Yes. This system can do anything. Mastery of the four basic ninjutsu costs 80,000 points. Would you like to buy it?"
The system naturally wouldn't pass up a sale that came its way.
After answering Yun Xi's question, it immediately brought up the purchase interface.
All it had to do now was wait for Yun Xi to pay...
"Confirm purchase."
Yun Xi didn't hesitate. Once the payment went through,
his mind filled with the methods and Hand Seals for using all kinds of basic ninjutsu.
Although the system's ninjutsu mastery scrolls only covered techniques up to B-rank,
they still greatly increased Yun Xi's offensive options and strength!
"Money really doesn't go far..."
Before he started topping up, Yun Xi had thought 200,000 Krypton Gold Points would give him a huge boost.
He hadn't expected to spend 120,000 just to round out his offensive techniques.
He'd seriously underestimated the prices of the items in the system shop...
"What should I buy next?"
Looking at the more than 80,000 Krypton Gold Points he had left, Yun Xi felt a little conflicted.
He couldn't afford the good stuff, and the cheap stuff didn't interest him.
He already had the Sharingan as a Kekkei Genkai, and there weren't many other ocular techniques he could choose for his remaining eye.
So Yun Xi decided to save the points and use them to make up for any weaknesses in his strength later.
Besides, now that he had the Heaven Curse Mark, he didn't plan on buying any other secret techniques to boost his strength.
And the good stuff, like Sage Mode and Tailed Beast Mode, was beyond his budget...
"System, don't you have anything from other worlds?"
Looking at all the items in the shop, Yun Xi tentatively asked.
After all, this system didn't seem ordinary!
"I do, but you can't buy them yet."
The system replied to Yun Xi's question.
But when Yun Xi pressed it for details on how to buy them, the system went silent again.
"Forget it. I'll save these points and buy something next time."
Unable to find any abilities he wanted, Yun Xi closed the system interface.
Then he went downstairs, ready to meet up with Karin and Zabuza.
"Zabuza, how are your injuries?"
When Yun Xi reached the first floor, he saw that the three of them had been waiting for him for quite a while, so he went over.
"I've almost recovered..."
Thanks to Karin's medical treatment, Zabuza, who had still been weak before, was now able to fight again.
"Good. You and Haku will stay here in the Land of Waves..."
Seeing that Zabuza was fine, Yun Xi explained his entire plan.
Zabuza and Haku would stay in the Land of Waves and use the startup funds Yun Xi left them to establish an assassination organization.
They would mainly raise funds by taking on bounty missions and recruit some war orphans to expand the organization's influence.
Meanwhile, Yun Xi would take Karin back to Konoha...
"Do you understand?"
After explaining his plan, Yun Xi stood to one side and asked Zabuza.
"This subordinate understands."
Zabuza nodded. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Then what should we call our organization?"
"What should we call it?"
Yun Xi hadn't even considered what to name the organization.
It was only after hearing Zabuza's question that he started thinking about it...
Don't worry, there's more coming, and it'll definitely be a thrilling read for everyone.
