Kakashi Opens Chests Again

Chapter 262: Kakashi Opens Chests Again

"The chests Danzo purchased?" Everyone looked at Tsunade again.

Only then did they realize that they still had no idea what series of chests the fallen Danzo had purchased.

In theory, with Danzo’s wealth, he shouldn’t have been so weak.

"Danzo purchased the…" Tsunade pursed her lips. "King’s Path Series. His wish was to become Hokage."

"The King’s Path Series?"

Everyone present, except Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, grew solemn.

Especially the clan heads, such as Hyuga Hiashi.

After all, their impression of Danzo was truly terrible.

No one could be certain that their own clan wouldn’t one day meet the same fate as the Uchiha.

If that man became Hokage, they could imagine what the situation would be like.

"The King’s Path Series is a series that turns someone into a king. It contains knowledge on developing a faction and a country, including the development of the economy and productivity, such as animal husbandry," Shen Mo explained.

However, those things weren’t suitable for ninjas.

Or rather, having ninjas do them would be a pure waste.

Although the ninjas of this world possessed all kinds of incredible powers, most of them were only suitable for combat, not production.

Not everyone had Naruto’s kind of Chakra.

He could create countless clones and tirelessly perform manual labor for the village.

Ninjas were ultimately born for battle.

"Since Danzo has the wish to contribute to the village, we should support him," Minato Namikaze suddenly said. "If he wants to become Hokage, staying in the shadows as before won’t do. Let’s start with animal husbandry. I’m planning to develop a ranch in that area north of the village and have Danzo manage it. Clan Head Hyuga, your clan has the most people, so please assign some of them to assist Danzo."

"Yes, Lord Hokage." Hyuga Hiashi nodded.

The corner of Utatane Koharu’s eye seemed to twitch.

Wasn’t this just stripping Danzo of his authority, assigning him to the outskirts of the village, and then keeping him under surveillance?

The Fourth Hokage wasn’t as harmless as he looked.

Shen Mo had known that from the start.

During this period, no one harmless could become Hokage.

Someone who knew how to charm women couldn’t possibly be without a few schemes.

He wondered what kind of feeling Shimura Danzō would have after being revived, upon discovering that his rival had changed from his old classmate Hiruzen Sarutobi to Minato Namikaze, who wouldn’t tolerate him.

"Alright, everyone has been in this meeting all night. For the final topic, I’d like to take some funds from the Chest Reserve Fund and give them to Kakashi to purchase ten Level 3 Chests and obtain a Fate-type Item," Minato Namikaze said at last.

This was also one of the results of their discussions that night.

–The Chest Reserve Fund.

A portion of the village’s finances would be set aside, and everyone would have the right to use a small amount in an emergency, just like the ten Medical Chests Tsunade had purchased moments ago.

However, they would have to submit a report afterward.

Moreover, outside of an emergency, anyone who wanted to use the funds would first have to apply for permission and obtain approval.

It had to be said that Minato Namikaze truly had a talent for administration.

"No objections."

"No problem."

"Kakashi was in too much danger this time."

"We should have bought them long ago."

Naturally, this group had no objections. Kakashi had always been well liked in the village.

"In that case…" Minato Namikaze looked at Kakashi and smiled. "Your funding to purchase the chests has been approved. Mr. Shen Mo happens to be here. Do you plan to open them in front of everyone or keep it hidden?"

"…" Kakashi looked at the expectant gazes circling him and finally said helplessly, "I’ll open them here."

Watching someone else open chests always gave one the feeling of broadening one’s horizons.

It was also equally tense and thrilling.

He himself enjoyed watching Chest Opening.

Everyone here was a core member of the village, qualified to obtain information about their comrades, so there was no need to hide it deliberately.

"Looks like you’ve made up your mind," Shen Mo said to Kakashi.

"That’s right." Kakashi took a deep breath. "Mr. Shen Mo, I want to purchase ten Forbidden Series chests."

The moment he said "Forbidden Series,"

the scene seemed to fall a little quieter.

It was the same as when Tsunade had first heard the name.

They could sense an aura of danger from those two words.

"Alright." Shen Mo raised a hand, and ten Level 3 Chests appeared in front of him. At the same time, he reclaimed the funds.

"May I ask…" Jiraiya suddenly raised his hand. "What are the characteristics of the Forbidden Series chests?"

"Simply put, the powers inside are mostly very powerful, but they require an additional price," Shen Mo explained briefly. "Normally, the price can be made up for and endured, but if it exceeds the limit, you might die beneath your own power."

In truth, Shen Mo had put a great deal of thought into designing this series.

He had to consider balance.

He also had to provide opportunities to obtain immense power.

And the price had to be appropriate.

There weren’t many powers that fit all these characteristics, and to maintain balance, Shen Mo could only rely on extensive customization.

"You could die beneath your own power?" Jiraiya looked at Kakashi.

"Lord Jiraiya, I’ve already made my decision."

Kakashi seemed to smile. He wasn’t used to the feeling of not wearing his mask, but he quickly shifted his attention to the chests in front of him.

He opened one directly.

Inside was the most common type of orb found in chests, except that it was green.

"Life Orb," Shen Mo said. "It can be used to make up for the life force consumed by using Forbidden Jutsu. Normally, the chests won’t grant a fate that will inevitably kill the Chest Opener—unless you’re prepared to face the consequences."

In other words, this series could indeed unleash an extremely powerful force over a short period.

However, because the user still had to make up for the cost,

it more or less maintained a delicate balance.

Kakashi sped up his Chest Opening.

Aside from ordinary orbs, the first nine chests had essentially produced only three items.

A potion that would turn the user into a muscleman after drinking it, but would also inflict pain.

A scroll that allowed one to sacrifice a part of their body to the Evil God in exchange for temporary power.

And a skill.

—Bragley Blood Fighting Technique, Eleventh Form: Spinning Continuous Thrust!

"Blood Fighting Technique?" The corner of Kakashi’s eye twitched again. "That sounds like something pretty awful."

"Indeed, it’s a dangerous power." Shen Mo nodded. "If you don’t understand your own health, you might die before taking down your enemy. Still, being distinctive in that chaotic world, this system is fairly impressive."

This was a fighting technique from the Blood Blockade Battlefront world.

But compared to whether it was powerful or not,

what Shen Mo remembered most vividly was how cool it looked.
