The purpose of collecting shop points,
Was of course to exchange for the ultimate item in the shop, the "Hogyoku."
After all,
That was a perfect item capable of breaking through dimensional limits.
Kyo couldn't just ignore it.
If he successfully fused and mastered it by then,
Not to mention Six Paths-level powerhouses,
Even if it was the Sage of Six Paths himself and his mother, they'd still be instantly killed.
At that time,
Kyo would become the true "King" in the entire Shinobi World.
Breaking the inherent structure of this world would also be effortless.
Of course,
These were matters for later.
Regarding the earning of shop points, with the scrolls in place,
Next,
He actually didn't need to worry about it at all,
Because, as time passed, more people would inevitably learn the swordsmanship or Hakuda from the scrolls.
And in that way,
Kyo's points could naturally increase and accumulate.
Combined with the rewards from other side and main missions issued by the system, 1 million points was within reach.
Kyo was full of anticipation for this.
And at the moment,
In his heart,
There was actually a more important matter to start dealing with.
That was,
A special story mission released by the system several years ago --
[Special Story Mission: Report the true identity of the mysterious masked man to the Akatsuki (0/1), incomplete.]
[Mission Reward Preview: Hollowfication Power Upgrade! Quincy Bloodline Upgrade!]
In fact,
He had wanted to complete this mission several years ago.
After all,
The simultaneous upgrade of Hollowfication power and Quincy power would bring a considerable increase in strength.
Almost comparable to the enhancement brought by increasing spiritual pressure.
At the very beginning,
Kyo wanted to use Kakashi's mouth,
To directly reveal the masked man's identity as "Uchiha Obito" in some public place.
After all, a long time ago, Kyo had spoiled this matter to Kakashi.
But who knew,
After that incident on the tower where the masked man revealed his identity as "Uchiha Madara" to Kyo, he... directly disappeared without a trace.
In the three years since,
He had almost never appeared before Kyo again.
Even if Kyo wanted to actively look for him, he simply couldn't find any useful information.
This guy was just too cautious.
In the end,
Since the conditions were still insufficient, Kyo had no choice and could only put it aside.
He decided to adopt another, more direct approach.
And now,
That approach was just about time to wrap up.
Just as Kyo was thinking,
Suddenly, Deidara beside him spoke up.
"Senpai, come to think of it..."
"Before we returned to Amegakure this time, why did we suddenly have to detour to the Land of Rice Fields?"
Deidara said casually, chewing on a straw.
Over the years,
He had long become familiar with Kyo, so his speech naturally became a bit more casual.
That's right.
In fact,
After receiving Pain's long-distance communication summons this time,
Kyo didn't choose to return directly to Amegakure quickly. Instead, he took Deidara with him and went first to the distant Land of Rice Fields.
You know, the Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Rain were actually in two completely different directions; there was simply no need to take the long way.
Therefore, he was naturally very puzzled.
Hearing Deidara's words,
Kyo's gaze shifted slightly, and he withdrew his thoughts, then looked over and chuckled lightly:
"Can't tell you yet."
"But you'll probably know soon."
"Mm, alright."
Kyo had long gotten used to this kind of riddle-like way of speaking, so Deidara could only nod helplessly.
And what he didn't know was,
This time, it wasn't that Kyo didn't want to speak, but simply because the matter he was handling was truly not easy to explain.
After all, the reason he went to the Land of Rice Fields,
Was precisely to prepare for the plan to report the masked man's true identity...
Kyo's gaze flickered slightly,
When the giant clay bird flew to the center of Amegakure, he suddenly stood up and said:
"Alright, you go to the meeting base first."
"I have something to take care of."
As he spoke,
Before Deidara could react, Kyo leaped down.
"Hey, wai...!"
Deidara's "wait a minute" hadn't even left his mouth,
Kyo's figure had already fallen downwards, eventually turning into a small dot and disappearing.
Deidara's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
This Kyo-senpai, surely hasn't changed...
Just like before, still going his own way, doing whatever he wants...
Thinking this, Deidara suddenly sighed.
Then,
He took out a scroll and muttered to himself with a melancholy expression:
"Sigh, I wonder,"
"When will I finally be able to learn this ultimate explosion art called 'Hado'... so hard!"
And at the same time,
Below, at Kyo's residence.
After falling, he walked towards his room without distraction.
Entering the room,
He covered the entire room with his Spiritual Pressure, completely concealing the internal situation.
Then, with a calm expression, he took out a special scroll from the system warehouse and casually threw it on the ground. At the same time, with a thought.
Bang!!
White smoke instantly exploded!
A golden Spiritual Pressure flashed by like lightning!
Whoosh!
The next moment, on the scroll, countless white cloth strips appeared out of nowhere, beginning to rapidly wrap around, and then gradually condense into a human form.
Then, the human form slowly solidified,
Finally, it transformed into a ghostly man with pale skin, wearing a gray-purple kimono.
The moment he appeared,
He immediately grinned, showing a sinister smile, looked at Kyo, and bowed his head very respectfully, smiling:
"Yare yare, Kyo-sama, you've kept me waiting quite a while."
"Ever since you left the Land of Rice Fields back then, I have been... always awaiting your summons."
That's right.
At this moment,
The person appearing on the scroll,
Was none other than the number one scientist of the Shinobi World -- Orochimaru!
Hearing his words,
Kyo remained calm, raising an eyebrow and chuckling lightly:
"Judging by your appearance,"
"The items I needed should be ready, right?"
"Of course."
Orochimaru's eyes shone, revealing a confident smile, and said:
"Just as I told you before,"
"The special items you requested, Kabuto and I secretly searched for three years and have successfully found them."
"And I can assure you of their authenticity, absolutely correct!"
"As long as you give the order,"
"I can show them to you anytime!"
Orochimaru said, a few glimmers of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Hearing this,
Kyo also curled his lips and smiled.
"Not bad."
"Then let's go."
"Bring your items and come with me..."
"To see Pain."
