When he left, Shinji did not go back with the others. Instead, he went somewhere alone.
It was none other than the lakeside they had just visited.
One of the [Cursed Treasure Maps] pointed to the very center of the lake.
Only after Tsunade and Jiraiya had left with Naruto did Shinji head back to the lakeside.
Splash.
He plunged straight into the lake.
Fortunately, the lake was not too deep. Shinji easily reached the bottom, then took out that [Cursed Treasure Map].
Since he had reached the exact location, the [Cursed Treasure Map] immediately shattered into light, which then coalesced into a chest.
Shinji did not rush to open it. Instead, he returned to shore first.
"I'm not asking for much. Just give me something good. At worst, I can exchange it for some cursed soul points."
After muttering to himself for a while, Shinji finally opened the chest. His face promptly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
[You have dug into and collapsed a grade 3 cursed spirit nest. A large number of grade 3 cursed spirits have escaped. Coordinates: your current town.]
Fuck!
Shinji swore on the spot, then drew the Kubikiribōchō and cleaved a cursed spirit that had just crawled out of the ground to bask in the moonlight in two.
This so-called [nest] was not actually the spot where he had dug for treasure, but the entire town he was in!
That was fucking ridiculous!
This meant that an unknown number of grade 3 cursed spirits would now appear at random locations throughout the town.
If left unchecked, they would definitely cause a massive disaster!
