"Huh? Wind Release is unlocked too—when did I become so lonely?"
As soon as Akashi entered the game, he discovered that there was another card template available: "Wind Release".
Based on previous patterns, all six variations need to be unlocked before the deck can be unlocked.
Indeed, ever since Akaishi awakened his "Wind Release Chakra Transformation Talent," he has been using every opportunity to immerse himself in Wind Release techniques—
Firstly, the Wind Release technique has just been awakened, so it's most effective when stimulated; secondly, the Wind Release technique counters poison mist, which is exactly what Red Stone needs right now!
but----
The "joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness" mechanics are easy to unlock; regardless of progress, they can all be unlocked and names can be seen within an hour.
"Urgent" is not too bad.
In the second hour, Akaishi was eager to know the ending!
The key is this "寂" (ji), which I haven't been able to find yet.
Akaishi hadn't realized before when he had become so heartbroken.
Suddenly, Akaishi realized—
It must have been while everyone was making dumplings that Akaishi went completely numb!
It was also judged as lonely.
In this way, all six transformations of Wind Release Chakra are unlocked, and you can now choose the "Wind Release" deck in "Sacred Spire".
These games, though they may seem like just games, actually have a strong educational and entertaining effect.
The Wind Release deck starts with two copies of each of the six basic cards that can be used in different variations.
After that, you'll need to collect rewards through various challenges in climbing the tower, and add, subtract, or upgrade cards as needed.
Finally, at the end of the game, this well-constructed final deck, if strong enough, can become a "ninjutsu".
Akaishi's tower climb this time wasn't for the game, but rather—
"Let's build our deck with this 'vastness' as our goal!" Akaishi made up his mind.
【Vastness】is the change in "range" within the Wind Release chakra transformation, and it is indeed born from "joy".
In the blink of an eye, ten hours of game time equates to two minutes of real time.
Red Stone's highest record is climbing to the boss of the second tower.
Based on Akashi's experience, once you pass the first tower, you'll likely be able to create a new ninjutsu, but the cost-effectiveness is very low.
The process of building a deck is actually a process of choosing the "variations contained in the new ninjutsu".
There are six variations, each with numerous ways of expression—that is, cards with different effects. When combined, the variations are countless.
In particular, not all cards are available immediately in Red Stone; some cards are unlocked gradually as you progress through the game.
"This is too difficult—could it be that decks focused on [Vastness] are too weak in combat and unable to advance to the later stages?" Akaishi couldn't help but wonder.
Akaishi has created quite a few ninjutsu, but their cost-effectiveness is far inferior to the practical Wind Release techniques that Orochimaru copied for himself. They are outdated in every aspect and have no use at all!
then----
Akaishi also began to change his approach.
"To dispel the poisonous fog, you don't necessarily have to use Wind Release; Fire Release's [Exploding Flame] should also work—" Akaishi changed his approach—exploding it is still dispersing it!
The free 10 hours have ended.
Akaishi began using the "5000 lives" he had given himself as compensation beforehand.
This time, Akaishi focused on the Fire Release technique [Breakthrough Flame]. Another hour passed, but in reality, only a dozen seconds had passed.
Akaishi used two lives —
This life has been taken a little too soon!
Unfortunately, most of the [Burning Flame] cards have side effects. Some have side effects when too many are added to the deck, while others have side effects from the start, such as losing your own health or inflicting abnormal statuses.
This is not surprising. In the real ninja world, explosive fire-style techniques are particularly difficult to control and often injure the user!
For the next hour in real time, Akaishi experienced an immersive tower-climbing experience.
Four decks have been unlocked, and we've tried various strategies and experimented with different approaches!
Guided by the deck's influence, Akaishi also began to ponder the essence of ninjutsu.
"really----"
"I knew Orochimaru wasn't a good teacher!"
"How could he possibly teach us Uchiha!"
Akashi sighed with emotion.
As Akaishi's understanding of the game deepened, so too did his understanding of ninjutsu.
Now, Chishi can climb up to the boss of the third tower!
but----
This is an achievement that Akaishi could only attain by using Fire Release. The resulting ninjutsu already has the level of a typical degraded ninjutsu.
In the era of the ninja village, it would be somewhat "degraded," but in the Warring States period, it would be quite good. Especially if placed several hundred years ago, it would be worthy of being passed down!
Although neither of them were particularly practical, Akaishi still felt a sense of accomplishment.
At the same time, Akaishi also began to reconsider the [Vastness] of this Wind Release technique —
"Wind Release—especially when building a deck around the [Vastness] card, it's a bit weak in the game, but it's usable right now, so let's give it another try!"
"Even if my combat strength is lacking, as long as I can blow it up and it's effective in dispelling the poisonous fog, then my efforts won't have been in vain!" Akaishi thought to himself.
And this isn't just a matter for Akaishi alone—
Even if it can't compare to "Airflow Dance", as long as Akaishi can develop a C-rank ninjutsu that can dispel poisonous fog more easily than "Great Breakthrough", it will be a huge help to Konoha!
This is a genuine ninjutsu technique that I developed myself, and I can teach it to others.
While "Airflow Dance" is powerful, as an A-rank ninjutsu, very few people can use it.
The "major breakthrough" at level C is usable by many, but—
Putting aside everything else, even if the direct attack power decreases with the same consumption, as long as the ability to blow away and dispel the poison mist is good enough, Konoha can reduce a lot of losses in the battle against Amegakure!
Through repeated failures, Akaishi also learned from his experiences.
Regarding the changes to "[Sinking Pressure] as a form of pressure from Wind Release," some cards synergize well with "[Vastness]" cards, creating a mutually beneficial relationship. It's advisable to acquire more "[Sinking Pressure]" cards in the future.
"The aspect that symbolizes the sharpness of wind-style transformations seems to allow the wind to blow even further. Should we get more [Ryougi]?"
"No, no, [Lingqie] reduces the area of effect, it's not worth it—these are completely different construction logics—"
During this time, Akaishi made many mistakes, and through repeated corrections, his understanding deepened.
finally----
In a game where luck was on his side, Akashi actually achieved his best result with a deck built around the "Vastness" card – he even defeated the boss of the third tower!
Although they were defeated in the first battle at the fourth tower, but—
Wind Release: Wind Pressure Technique!
Akaishi weighed the learning difficulty and chakra consumption—it should be classified as a C-rank large-scale ninjutsu, sharing the same niche as "Great Breakthrough," but—
While its attack effects, such as "Great Breakthrough," are weaker and harder to concentrate, its wider range makes it more suitable for dispelling poisonous fog.
—To be precise, it's about dispelling the "fog"!
Not only "poisonous fog," but also "Hidden Mist Technique" will be effective against Kirigakure if they clash with Kirigakure in the future.
While I can't say for sure that it can dispel fog, it's at least more efficient than the "Great Breakthrough" method.
Akaishi had originally intended to end the game first, but—
Instinctively, I opened another round!
Moreover, there are random rewards from the very beginning—the reward level is based on the performance in the previous round.
At the very beginning, Akaishi randomly received a novel effect—
"Can up to three types of variation cards in the deck be replaced with variation cards from another deck?" Akashi was taken aback.
"With such a mix, how can you create ninjutsu? Isn't this just a complete mess?" Akaishi wondered.
This is different from "combination ninjutsu". This is built from the underlying logic of ninjutsu and directly becomes dual-attribute ninjutsu. Isn't this just messing around?
Akaishi was 80% convinced that this method wouldn't allow him to create new ninjutsu, nor could he create new ninjutsu every time he finished a level.
However, Akaishi thought about it and realized that combining different deck variations into a single deck sounded quite interesting.
"Fine, I'll treat myself to this!" Akaishi decided to play around with it.
For the main deck, I still chose "Wind Release" because I had tried it the most and understood it the best.
"【Vastness】definitely can't be removed, 【Sharpening】doesn't go well with Vastness, so that can be removed -- 【Air Transformation】symbolizes changing the nature of air, and it's not very useful now -- remove it! And -- 【Swift Speed】okay, I don't need to accelerate now!"
"Let's switch to Lightning Release! [Restraint], [Swiftness], [Destruction], they automatically replaced each other? I see, it's related to the corresponding emotions. It replaced the Wind Release's sorrow, joy, and haste, and choosing Lightning Release only allows the Lightning Release transformations symbolizing these three emotions to compensate—"
"Yes, some cards do have cross-deck synergy effects!"
Akashi discovered that this deck was very strong after mixing and matching cards. On his first try, he easily and effortlessly passed the first two towers, and it seemed he was going to climb the third tower.
This was also thanks to Akashi's prior knowledge of "Lightning Release" decks, which allowed him to immediately understand how to combine them.
While Akaishi was diligently training, things weren't going well for Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato.
Not long ago, they raided the assembly point of the Rain Ninja's rear mobile unit, intending to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, the Rain Ninja discovered the clues in advance and made a clever escape. More than twenty Chunin were still there, but of the eight Jonin, only two came—and they didn't even bring the "Sealing Scroll"!
Clearly, the other six Jonin, carrying the "Sealing Scroll," had already left from another direction.
"Damn it! Those damned Konoha ninjas—Miasma and Poison Scythe—!"
"We'll settle this score with Konoha sooner or later. Let's get the supplies to the front lines first, otherwise Lord Hanzo will have no choice but to retreat."
"And then, a blizzard struck—"
"That's a good thing, at least it saves us from being tracked down by those Konoha ninjas—by the way, there's a village built inside the mountain ahead. I didn't rob it before because it was guarded, so it's perfect for us to stay here now!"

The six ninjas who had escaped were now rushing towards Yamabuchi Village.
