The moment the Kirigakure players started cursing, the Konoha players immediately fired back.
The Kirigakure players had only managed to win through to the end of this large-scale instance mission because Konoha had far fewer players than Kirigakure, so many Konoha players harbored a trace of anger.
However, the battle in which Uchiha Minato ultimately turned the tide had given the players who chose Konohagakure plenty to be proud of.
As for the players from Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and the other villages, every one of them looked dejected.
The large-scale instance mission had ended before they even reached the battlefield.
Ignoring the players' remarks in the world channel, Ning Feng soon noticed that, with the large-scale instance mission over, the Konoha Chunin and Jonin who had fought their way out had all returned to their original positions.
It felt rather like NPCs respawning at their starting points after a major battle in an online game.
Whoosh!
With a flicker, Ning Feng returned to Kushina Uzumaki. Sure enough, just as the system had said, a new Copy Points exchange dialogue box had appeared above her head.
Clearly, this dialogue box would let him exchange points for things he wanted.
Without hesitation, Ning Feng clicked the dialogue box.
"In recognition of your outstanding performance in the large-scale instance mission [Protect Kushina Uzumaki], you have earned 213,122 Copy Points! You ranked first on the leaderboard for this instance battle!" "Opening the [Copy Points Exchange Shop]..."
Amid the crisp, pleasant notifications, a huge item exchange window appeared before Ning Feng.
The exchange window had clearly defined categories, including Kekkei Genkai, ninjutsu, bladed tools, equipment, kunai, shuriken, and more.
When he clicked into the Kekkei Genkai category, he found countless Kekkei Genkai divided according to the five elements, such as Ice Release, Earth Release, Powder Release, and so on.
However, the Copy Points required for these Kekkei Genkai were simply too high. Even a single Ice Release cost a full 20,000,000 Copy Points to redeem!
Magnet Release and Scorch Release cost a full 400,000,000 Copy Points!
Ning Feng had originally thought that taking first place this time would let him redeem a decent Kekkei Genkai, but it turned out he had been naive.
Shrugging, Ning Feng looked through the ninjutsu category.
The ninjutsu category contained essentially all the ninjutsu scrolls for the five nature transformations. The Copy Points required for each were also somewhat lower, with some available for just 50,000 Copy Points.
But something like the S-rank ninjutsu [Lightning Release: Kirin] required a full 400,000 Copy Points.
The Copy Points required for forbidden ninjutsu were also exceptionally staggering!
After browsing for quite some time, Ning Feng still had not made up his mind.
It was not that he was indecisive, but that he knew perfectly well that his choice this time was very likely to directly determine how quickly he leveled up in the future.
However, Ning Feng also briefly analyzed his current situation. To him, things like five-element ninjutsu were actually of little use. After all, with an incredible Kekkei Genkai like the Sharingan, he could quickly copy any ninjutsu.
As for other Kekkei Genkai, they required so many Copy Points that he could hardly redeem them with the points he had.
"Ninja tools, equipment, and things like that aren't much use either..."
Ning Feng frowned slightly. After searching for ages, he had failed to find a single suitable item.
But just as he was pondering this, he suddenly found the following items in the [Other] category of the [Copy Points Exchange Shop]:
[Ninjutsu Upgrade Scroll]: Can increase the overall level of a ninjutsu. Required Copy Points: 30,000! [Kekkei Genkai Upgrade Scroll]: Can increase the level of a Kekkei Genkai. Required Copy Points: 150,000!
At first, Ning Feng had not paid much attention to the [Ninjutsu Upgrade Scroll], but after thinking it through, he finally realized just how formidable this [Ninjutsu Upgrade Scroll] was.
As for the [Kekkei Genkai Upgrade Scroll], Ning Feng purchased it without a second thought.
"Congratulations! You have purchased a [Ninjutsu Upgrade Scroll]!" "Congratulations! You have purchased a [Kekkei Genkai Upgrade Scroll]!"
Two crisp, pleasant notifications sounded in succession. Without a second thought, Ning Feng clicked to use them.
"Congratulations! Your ninjutsu [Shadow Clone] has successfully undergone a ninjutsu upgrade, becoming [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique]! (Forbidden technique)!" "Congratulations! Your [Sharingan] has successfully undergone a Kekkei Genkai upgrade, becoming [Two-Tomoe Sharingan]!"
Amid the pleasant sounds, Ning Feng suddenly felt his mental control over chakra rise another level. His understanding of the [Shadow Clone] technique deepened as a result, allowing him to create more [Shadow Clones]!
At the same time, he discovered that his eyes' perception of everything around him had become more powerful and sharper.
The scene before him seemed to play out in slow motion.
In particular, he discovered that, after evolving, his Sharingan seemed to have become a telescope. He could actually see ants beneath a small tree five thousand meters away clearly...
"Not bad!"
Ning Feng took a deep breath, delighted beyond words.
He quickly turned his attention to the newly upgraded ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai to see whether their attributes had changed.
[Multiple Shadow Clone Technique]: An upgraded version of Shadow Clone. When forming hand seals, the user can create 3-10 shadow clones in succession to confuse enemies. These shadow clones possess a portion of the user's combat power! (The more shadow clones there are, the lower each shadow clone's average combat power, but training results can be multiplied!) [Two-Tomoe Sharingan]: An upgraded version of the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan. With the two-tomoe Sharingan, the user's ninjutsu power increases by 20%, ninjutsu range increases by 20%, chakra capacity increases by 20%, and chakra recovery speed increases by 20%. (Curved Tomoe Bloodline; this bloodline can be changed after a Sharingan transplant!)
The upgrade scrolls had certainly lived up to their name. After the upgrades, all the attributes had received boosts of varying degrees.
The two-tomoe Sharingan, in particular, had directly increased Ning Feng's combat power by roughly 20%!
In the later stages, the Sharingan of the Rumba Bloodline would surely shine even more brilliantly. Even boosting ninjutsu power by over 100% was not impossible.
After all, Madara Uchiha, who also possessed the Curved Tomoe Bloodline, was the only supreme expert who could use [Multiple Shadow Clone] even with [Susanoo], single-handedly thrashing the Five Kage!
One could well imagine just how terrifying this Curved Tomoe Bloodline would become in the later stages!
(In the original work, Madara Uchiha once mentioned the Straight Tomoe Sharingan, but it was never elaborated on afterward. As such, this story adopts some online readers' speculation that there are three types of Sharingan: straight tomoe, curved tomoe, and rumba.)
(Straight tomoe is the type Sasuke Uchiha has, which enhances taijutsu abilities. Rumba is the type Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha Itachi have, which enhances genjutsu, while curved tomoe is the type Madara Uchiha has, which enhances ninjutsu.)
