Chapter 88 The reward of fragments of Word of Power, Kurenai Yuhi's decisiveness, open the can!
Chapter 88 The reward of fragments of Word of Power, Kurenai Yuhi's decisiveness, open the can! Kurenai-sensei, what happened to your leg?
Looking at the completed task, Lin Mo smiled.
The task I didn't pay much attention to yesterday was completed in this way, which was quite smooth.
Lin Mo looked at the mission completion message with a smile on his face.
Kurenai Yuhi had regained her senses and, feeling that her body had regained its freedom, immediately retreated.
Kurenai's breathing was slightly rapid, her eyes fixed on Lin Mo in front of her, filled with vigilance and confusion.
Everything that just happened felt so real. She felt as if she could truly feel her body being cut and reassembled, but without any pain.
That indescribable, eerie feeling sent chills down her spine.
She shook her head slightly, trying to clear her mind, but her thoughts were still somewhat confused.
Subconsciously, Kurenai looked around again and found herself still standing in the jar shop.
Everything in the shop was as usual, as if the terrible scene from just moments ago had never happened.
"An illusion? How can there be such a terrifying illusion?"
Looking at Lin Mo, who had no chakra aura, Kurenai Yuhi's face was solemn and confused.
She is an expert in illusion, with a sensitivity to illusion far exceeding that of ordinary people.
But what she had just encountered was something she had never experienced before.
Thinking of this, Kurenai involuntarily took a few steps back, left the jar shop, and stood at the door.
At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi's vigilance towards Lin Mo reached its peak.
Who exactly is this guy?
Even her experience and vigilance as a Jonin seemed utterly useless in front of Lin Mo.
"Who...who are you?"
Kurenai looked at Lin Mo with a solemn expression.
She tried to remain calm, but her tone betrayed her shock.
At the same time, while speaking, he quickly thought of possible response strategies in his mind.
If Lin Mo casts that illusion spell again, how should she deal with it?
In this situation, her confidence and composure almost completely vanished.
Lin Mo looked at Yuhi Kurenai's terrified expression with calm eyes, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a casual experiment.
Hearing Kurenai's words, Lin Mo smiled faintly, not at all surprised by Kurenai's wariness.
"I'm just a shop owner who sells things."
Lin Mo slowly said, "You don't need to know who I am or where I come from. My shop only sells jars. In my shop, you'd better not try anything inappropriate."
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Yuhi Kurenai frowned deeply.
Do you only sell jars?
Subconsciously, Kurenai Yuhi looked at the jars on the counter behind Lin Mo.
An unknown, hidden powerhouse is here in Konoha Village just to sell these things?
She didn't believe it at all.
But from another perspective, the other party had no reason to deceive her.
After all, the situation he had just encountered proved that the other party could crush him as easily as crushing an ant.
Thinking of that illusion that she couldn't escape or resist, Kurenai took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and re-examine Lin Mo.
She felt that she could no longer act rashly.
Especially when you haven't figured out the other party's background.
Moreover, it is true that they are in the wrong.
If I hadn't used hypnosis in the beginning, things probably wouldn't have gotten to this point.
It was my own carelessness.
"Okay, I understand."
A long while passed before Kurenai finally calmed down and slowly spoke.
Although his tone was calm, a lingering sense of apprehension remained deep within him.
"Since you say you only sell jars and are hiding in Konoha without a destination, why did the Hyuga clan leader bring people here?"
The next second, Kurenai suddenly spotted the "mistake" in Lin Mo's words and said in a deep voice, "Does the prestigious Hyuga clan really need to buy jars from you?"
Kurenai Yuhi wanted to leave right now and get away from this dangerous man.
But when he thought about how he was a Jonin of Konoha and had the responsibility to protect the village, he realized that...
She felt uneasy if she didn't figure out who this unstable, hidden guy was.
Because it poses too great a threat to Konoha.
If it were a legitimate business, she wouldn't say anything.
But the other party seems to be hiding something.
If she hadn't observed Hinata Hyuga these past few days, and even met Hiashi Hyuga, she wouldn't have dared to imagine that such a terrifying person was hiding here.
Even a Jonin like her, who was proficient in illusion techniques, couldn't last a single exchange against this person.
If the other party attacks ordinary people, or attacks other Jonin.
Thinking of this, Kurenai Yuhi felt a surge of tension.
"It's not necessary to buy jars."
Seeing the wary look on Kurenai's face, Lin Mo smiled faintly and said, "But those who come to open the jars, my jars contain all sorts of things, and everyone who comes to open the jars has a chance to get them."
"For example, the little trick I just used on you, if you're lucky, you might be able to get caught out too."
"What!?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Yuhi Kurenai's pupils constricted sharply.
Subconsciously, he glanced at the jars on the counter behind Lin Mo.
Was the illusion you just used contained within these jars?
What a joke.
From Lin Mo's words, she could easily tell that this seemed to be some kind of gambling.
But how could that be?
"No matter how much I say, it's more practical for you to open one yourself."
Seeing Kurenai's shocked expression, Lin Mo slowly said, "It's only 100,000 taels per jar. Although the price is high, it's quite easy for a Jonin to earn it. You can give it a try."
"One hundred thousand taels?"
Upon hearing this, Kurenai's eyelids twitched violently.
This guy not only stabbed himself several times, but now he wants to steal his own money?
However, considering Lin Mo's strength and that invisible pressure, he felt completely powerless to fight back.
She knew all too well that if Lin Mo hadn't been willing to let her go, she wouldn't be able to leave this jar shop now.
The other party seemed only willing to sell the so-called jars.
"Then I'll give it a try."
Kurenai spoke in a low voice, took a money pouch from her waist, and tossed it to Lin Mo.
She opened the jar out of curiosity, but also because she wanted to communicate with this person and obtain some other information.
For example, this guy's name, this guy's background, etc.
As it stands, the other party does not seem to be hostile towards me.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have let myself leave the jar shop.
In Yuhi Kurenai's eyes, this 100,000 taels was equivalent to her life-saving money.
Because the other party could indeed have crushed him, but didn't.
Cater to their preferences; if you know what they need, then give it to them.
Anyway, 100,000 taels is not a small amount for me, but if I really decide to do some tasks, I can definitely earn it back.
Kurenai Yuhi had figured it out: if she wanted to communicate with the other party, she had to cater to their preferences and buy this so-called jar.
"That's quite decisive."
Lin Mo was quite surprised to see that Yuhi Hong threw out the money without saying a word.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have fled immediately to inform their companions.
Although Kurenai was wary, she did not leave, but instead chose to pay on the spot to open the can.
Lin Mo couldn't help but glance at Kurenai Yuhi again.
"Then you can choose one. See which one you want."
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Kurenai Yuhi immediately looked at the row of seemingly ordinary jars and picked one out.
Lin Mo immediately waved.
The jar that Kurenai had chosen flew out and landed in front of her.
This scene caused Kurenai's pupils to shrink sharply.
This method was something I had never seen before.
The next second, Kurenai Yuhi turned her gaze to the jar in front of her, her brows furrowing slightly.
Given their capabilities, how could they possibly be confined to this tiny jar shop, selling these so-called jars?
After gathering her thoughts, Kurenai decisively smashed open the jar in front of her.
"Bang!"
The jar shattered, and a blue orb of light fell out.
"What is this?"
Looking at the blue ball of light, Kurenai Yuhi looked at Lin Mo with some confusion.
[Senior Chunin-level Chakra] This chakra is the result of hard work and training by a senior Chunin. After fusion, it can instantly add to one's own chakra, increasing one's chakra level to that of a senior Chunin.
Looking at what Kurenai Yuhi had produced, Lin Mo slowly said, "This is a chakra orb, Chunin level. You can reach out and fuse with it; I don't need to explain the effects."
"A ball of chakra?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Xi Ri Hong frowned slightly.
He immediately reached out and touched the blue light, not caring whether it was harmful or not.
In an instant, the blue light surged into Kurenai's body, and Kurenai clearly felt that her chakra suddenly increased dramatically.
"this?!"
Kurenai Yuhi, now fused with the chakra orb, suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked up at Lin Mo with a look of horror.
My chakra has increased!
Moreover, the amount is quite large, at least equivalent to Chunin-level chakra.
This amount of chakra just increased directly within his own body?
What kind of tactic is this?
Seal up the chakra and then let people absorb it?
She had heard of containers that could store chakra, and that all she had to do when she needed to replenish her chakra was to use those containers.
However, the chakra she has now fused with is completely different.
It increased directly within one's own body.
This means she has more chakra to use ninjutsu, genjutsu, and so on.
The chakra within the body is refined; this amount can only be refined and preserved by oneself.
The amount saved has now increased.
"This is a ball of chakra light."
Lin Mo slowly said, "It's not just chakra orbs. Any ninjutsu scrolls, summoning beasts, or chakra nature transformation orbs that you can think of can be opened from the jar, instantly fused and mastered, thereby improving yourself. The price is 100,000 taels for each jar."
Lin Mo spoke eloquently, explaining things in a way that was easy for Kurenai Yuhi to understand.
Because if you explain something that's hard to understand, the other person will also be completely confused.
It would be better to just use something like a ninja to unlock it.
Chakra nature transformation?
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Kurenai Yuhi's pupils constricted sharply.
She suddenly thought of Hinata's mastery of wind-style chakra nature transformation.
She seemed to understand why Hiashi Hyuga had brought Hinata and Hanabi with him.
It's all because of these jars.
Once these jars are opened, incredible growth can be achieved.
For example, mastering the so-called chakra nature transformation, or obtaining ninjutsu, etc.
"Moreover, this is the way Tenten Ninja Tool Shop operates."
Suddenly, Kurenai Yuhi remembered Tenten's ninja tool shop.
The marketing method they've been using these past few days is the "smashing cans" approach.
Considering that Tian Tian keeps coming here, it's clear that Tian Tian's family must have opened jars at this shop owner's jar shop.
They even copied the way they sold the jars.
A thousand thoughts raced through Kurenai's mind, and in an instant, she understood everything.
So that's how it all works.
Thinking of this, Kurenai took a deep breath, her gaze becoming somewhat fiery as she looked at Lin Mo and the jars behind him.
The person just now said that the methods used against him could also be found inside the jar.
If I can unlock it myself, my illusion magic will improve dramatically!
At her level, it's actually very difficult to improve further.
She was well aware of her own abilities.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will remain a Jonin of Konoha for the rest of her life.
His father had been a ninja his whole life, and even as a Jonin, he couldn't advance any further.
She felt the same way, which is why she chose to come back to be a teacher and mentor students.
It's already quite difficult for an unknown ninja to grow into a Jonin, let alone a Kage-level powerhouse.
Looking at any Kage-level powerhouse, which one didn't achieve fame at a young age?
Which one of them wasn't a young person who was just beginning to show their talent?
Those who are unknown cannot become Kage-level powerhouses.
But now, she seems to have seen a path for herself to break through the limitations of being a Jonin.
Open the can!
By opening the can, one can continuously gain various benefits and improve one's strength.
He wasn't good at ninjutsu, only proficient in genjutsu, making him a niche ninja.
Being promoted to Jonin is already a very difficult thing.
However, 100,000 taels of silver for a single jar is really expensive.
Thinking about the price of this jar, one costs 100,000 taels, and ten would cost 1 million taels. All his wealth would be gone after opening just a few dozen.
However, the most urgent thing is to get the money to open the can.
"I'll go back and get the money now, then come back and open thirty, no, forty cans."
Immediately, Kurenai spoke to Lin Mo and decisively turned to leave.
"No."
Hearing what Kurenai said, Lin Mo chuckled: "A person can only open ten jars in seven days, no more."
"Only ten cans can be opened? And there's a purchase limit?"
Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi, who was about to leave, paused and nodded, somewhat puzzled.
Is this can even subject to purchase limits?
Although she didn't understand, Kurenai nodded and said, "I understand."
"But, shopkeeper, please allow me to address you this way. Could I open all nine jars first, and then bring the money over?"
"This is more convenient and saves time."
Leave, then come back; open the jar, then leave again.
Why not just open some jars here in advance and then come back to deliver the money later?
Do you think this is realistic?
Upon hearing Yuhi Kurenai's words, Lin Mo smiled faintly and said, "This shop does not offer credit."
"I see."
Hearing this, Kurenai was not surprised.
Are you afraid that I won't give you money?
However, the fact that the other party is selling such a magical jar for 100,000 taels of silver means that the other party is short of money.
If I pay more money, will I be able to open more jars?
Although she felt it was unrealistic, Kurenai thought it was still worth asking.
Thinking of this, Kurenai paused and said, "Then, shopkeeper, even if I'm willing to pay more, will I still be unable to buy any extra jars?"
"good."
Lin Mo nodded.
"I understand, I'll go back and get the money right away."
Without the slightest hesitation, Kurenai turned and left decisively.
"That's quite dashing."
Watching Kurenai leave like that, Lin Mo shook his head.
Kurenai's reaction was quite unexpected.
So, now it's time to reward yourself.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo looked at the scroll showing his completed mission.
"Bang!"
As Lin Mo made a thought and chose to submit, the task scroll instantly turned into an irregular fragment and fell into Lin Mo's hand.
【Word of Power: Lord's Flame Fragment】is one of the fragments of Word of Power: Lord's Flame. Once all three fragments are collected, one can instantly master this high-risk Word of Power. The caster can ignite the fire element in the surrounding environment explosively through a long period of meditation and chanting, forming high temperature, high heat and shock wave.
Lin Mo: "."
Your mom.
Lin Mo was shocked when he saw this thing.
Is this all the reward for this task?
One of the fragments of God's Horse.
You know, even though the mission I completed was only C-rank, the target was a Jonin, and this is what you give me?
Lin Mo was shocked.
"As expected, one shouldn't have too many expectations for this kind of mission scroll."
"Am I just unlucky? That can't be. I'm pretty lucky when I open my special jars."
"The only consolation is that it wasn't a fragment of ninjutsu."
Lin Mo casually put the fragment away and then took out the ninjutsu scroll containing the B-rank Wind Release ninjutsu, Pressure Damage.
We should increase our strength as much as we can, even if it's just a little bit.
Let's learn this first.
He had already mastered some aspects of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, but the specific experiments required absorbing chakra, and no one was there to let him absorb it.
Let's master what we can first.
When Lin Mo opened the ninjutsu scroll containing the B-rank Wind Release ninjutsu, Pressure Damage, to learn it.
Having already left the jar shop, Kurenai Yuhi was filled with thoughts as she recalled everything that had just happened.
What happened today really shattered her understanding.
"red?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, bringing Kurenai Yuhi back to her senses.
Ahead, Asuma was walking towards them with three students, greeting them with a smile, "Good morning! Would you like to have lunch together?"
"I'm sorry, Asuma, I don't have time."
Hearing Asuma's words, Kurenai was taken aback, wondering whether she should tell Asuma what had just happened.
However, after thinking about it, Hong gently shook her head and said, "I'm a little pressed for time."
"Haha, it's nothing."
Upon hearing Hong's words, Asuma's expression turned slightly awkward. He scratched his head and laughed, "I was just saying. If you don't have time, that's fine. We can do it next time."
"Teacher Hong, what happened to your leg?"
Beside him, Nara Shikamaru noticed the tattered black stockings on Kurenai's long legs and suddenly spoke up out of curiosity.
Hearing this, Hong was stunned and subconsciously looked down.
Seeing that her black fishnet stockings were already somewhat tattered, she instantly thought of the scene where Lin Mo cut her body. A blush appeared on Yuhi's cheeks, and a flash of shame and indignation crossed her eyes.
