Meanwhile.
Land of Rain, Amegakure.
Inside Kyo's residence, the previously calm air suddenly showed a trace of black, mist-like presence!
The next moment, this presence instantly transformed into a crack-like shape!
Bam!
A sound like shattering glass sounded out of nowhere, space was instantly broken, revealing a black crack entrance.
The next moment, a foot stepped out.
It was Kyo!
"?"
Seeing this familiar environment before him, Kyo's eyes immediately lit up, revealing a delighted smile.
"Not bad."
"With just one attempt... I successfully returned."
Originally, whether the Garganta could connect the different world to the Shinobi World was merely at the level of a hypothesis for him. Now, it was completely proven—
Completely feasible!
Kyo raised his hand, placed it on his fox-like ogre mask, and chuckled lightly as he deactivated his Hollowfication state.
At this moment, the moon-white Spiritual Pressure mist instantly spread outwards, and then Kyo's entire body began to revert to its original form.
As the mask rapidly disappeared, his hair changed from silver back to brown, his Espada uniform changed back to Akatsuki's red cloud black robe, and the Zanpakuto instantly returned to the ordinary Asauchi state before Shinso's Shikai.
Kyo smiled as he walked to the desk, looked at the other himself in the room, and said with a laugh:
"Thanks for the hard work, Gigai me."
Snap.
Kyo raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers. The Gigai Kyo immediately turned into Spiritual Pressure and vanished in an instant.
Just at that moment, the system prompt sound immediately popped up in Kyo's mind—
[Ding! Congratulations, host, Side Mission completed!]
[Enter and Exit the mysterious masked man's Mangekyo dimension once (1/1), Completed! Reward: Spiritual Power +1000, Hollowfication EXP +500!]
[Defeat a Kage-level powerhouse while in Hollowfied masked form once (1/1), Completed! Reward: Spiritual Power +1000, Hollowfication EXP +1000!]
'Eh?'
'This counts as a side mission too?'
Kyo couldn't help but smile in surprise.
When he heard the prompt sound just now, he thought it was the notification for the main quest completion, but he didn't expect it to be a side mission.
As if sensing Kyo's contemplation,
At this moment, the system once again timely popped up the mission success prompt sound—
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Main Quest completed!]
[You have successfully participated in the Major Event · Uchiha Clan's Massacre Night (1/1), Reward: System Shop Opened!]
["?!"]
[System Shop: By consuming points, you can purchase various magical items or abilities within it. As time progresses, more products will be irregularly updated in the future!]
[Ding! Detected that the host has completed all branch missions!]
[Triggering additional reward: Shop Initial Points · 10000, can be used to purchase any product in the shop!]
As the prompt sound fell, a translucent, water-blue illusory screen instantly unfolded before Kyo's eyes.
After that,
Various products immediately appeared on it—
[Item · Tremor Point]; [Item · Sanrei Glove]; [Shunpo · Utsusemi]; [Hand-to-Hand Combat · Twin Bones]; [Swordsmanship · Original Flow]; [Kido Forbidden Art · Space Transfer]; [Otherworldly Summoning Technique · Kokujo Tengen Myo'o]...
"Huh??"
After listening to the series of prompt sounds and looking at the shop page before him,
Kyo's eyes immediately lit up.
'Whoa!'
'The system actually opened a shop?!'
'But, what's going on?'
'Among a bunch of very normal products, it seems like something strange has sneaked in...'
'Otherworldly Summoning Technique · Kokujo Tengen Myo'o???'
'Huh???'
'Damn it, what's going on!?'
'Isn't this the Bankai of that Captain of the 7th Division, the big dog Komamura Sajin's Zanpakuto?!'
'It can actually be summoned using summoning techniques?!'
'Does that mean, in the future, I can witness a giant robot battle between Kokujo Tengen Myo'o and Susanoo???'
'This is just damn ridiculous, isn't it?!'
Looking at the system shop before him, Kyo felt both amused and exasperated for the first time.
The system had previously issued some very absurd side missions, and unexpectedly, the shop also had this kind of absurd stuff...
However, looking at that price of exactly 9500 points, Kyo was actually a bit tempted.
'Maybe when I have more points later, I really could buy one to play with...'
Kyo seemed to already see that bizarre scene.
...
A night passed in the blink of an eye.
Although Kyo had just experienced a battle not long ago,
With the versatile item, Recovery Medicine's existence, he fundamentally didn't feel any fatigue.
So he spent the entire night studying the system shop.
However,
Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest,
Suddenly, within the room, a strange aura appeared.
Then, from the floor, a figure resembling a pitcher plant slowly emerged, making a low sound, saying:
"Kyo, the leader notifies—"
"A formal members' meeting of Akatsuki is going to be held now. Let's go."
Having said that,
Before Kyo could even agree,
He submerged back into the floor and left.
"A formal members' meeting, huh..."
Kyo stood up, looked at the raindrops outside the window, and murmured to himself:
"It seems,"
"Uchiha Itachi is about to join the Akatsuki."
"There's going to be another Oscar-winning actor."
