Chapter 194: Bite Off More Than You Can Chew
When news of Li Jiexuan capturing Sunagakure spread, all the nations of the world were shaken. Since the beginning of this chaotic era, this was the first time a ninja village of one of the Five Great Nations had been breached!
For the first time, Li Jiexuan's name resounded throughout the entire ninja world…
"Epic Achievement Unlocked: Star of the World."
Reward Points: 50,000!
This was the first time Li Jiexuan had received such a high point reward, which was enough to show just how famous he had become in the ninja world!
"You've won…" The Second Kazekage, the bald Shamon, wore a complicated expression. The moment the canyon entrance of Sunagakure was blown open, he knew—they had lost. Completely lost to this three-year-old child!
"Shamon, that's not what you said the last time we met!" Li Jiexuan sneered, shaking his head. He still remembered their encounter in Desperate Canyon—if Senju Tobirama hadn't led a rescue team back then, he might have died there.
"The winner takes all. There's no need for more words…"
The Konoha ninja had already taken control of the entire Sunagakure. One move could affect everything—if a fight broke out, the families of most of Sunagakure's ninja would be slaughtered!
Even as Kazekage, Shamon could only admit defeat. From this moment on, Sunagakure had completely fallen into Li Jiexuan's hands!
In the quiet of the night, Li Jiexuan sat cross-legged inside the most luxurious Kazekage residence in Sunagakure…
"Puppet Manipulation Mastery acquired!"
The moment he received the reward, Li Jiexuan felt a cool stream of liquid pour into his brain, then flow into both hands, and finally down to his feet.
"Chakra threads!"
Li Jiexuan slowly spread his fingers. Five deep-blue chakra threads intertwined like a spiderweb, demonstrating an incredibly refined level of chakra control.
All along, whether it was ninjutsu or taijutsu, Li Jiexuan's fighting style had been aggressive and straightforward—overwhelming in power, but wasteful in chakra.
This puppet control mastery perfectly compensated for his weakness in chakra control…
To give a simple example!
With his previous chakra reserves, Li Jiexuan could only use Dragon Lightning Blade ten times before exhausting himself. But now, even after using it fifteen times, he would still have some chakra left…
Visibly, his combat power had increased by more than ten percent!
"As expected, the system's rewards never disappoint. They might not always be the strongest, but they're always the most practical!" Li Jiexuan chuckled as he took out another reward.
"Super Kage Treasure Chest!"
The exquisite pure gold chest bore an embossed design of Sunagakure—the towering canyon and the circular village carved vividly into its surface… It truly lived up to its name: a treasure chest far surpassing the Kage-level ones!
Li Jiexuan grew excited. "Even a Kage-level chest can produce such incredible items—what kind of surprises will this Super Kage chest bring me?"
"Open Super Kage Treasure Chest!"
The golden chest slowly opened. The Sunagakure engraving seemed to come alive as pale yellow light, like blowing sand, shimmered around it. Three items floated quietly in midair.
A silver scroll, a glass bottle filled with yellow sand, and a strange device resembling a slot machine.
Naruto Training Scroll (Intermediate)
As expected, it was an intermediate-level training scroll. There was no need to elaborate on its effects. Li Jiexuan then picked up the glass bottle filled with yellow sand.
"Sand Bloodline Limit!"
This was Gaara's bloodline limit—or rather, the power granted to him by the One-Tail as a Jinchūriki.
"Even abilities granted by a Tailed Beast can be materialized into a bloodline limit?" Li Jiexuan shook his head and set the bottle aside. He understood well the principle of not biting off more than he could chew…
