His previous cowardly demeanor had completely disappeared, and he seemed much more cheerful, indicating that he had emerged from Kado's shadow.
“Mr. Tazuna, congratulations! Congratulations to the Land of Waves on its rebirth,” Sora said.
"Thank you, Kong Xiaogui."
Tazuna always remembered what Sora told him: he would find a way to change the people of the Land of Waves, for they are the true masters of the Land of Waves, and ultimately, they can only rely on themselves.
Sky Island: "Kado has exploited a great deal of wealth from your entire Land of Waves. Now that Kado is dead, you should reclaim your wealth."
"These are all things you've painstakingly accumulated over the years. Can you really bear to watch someone else take them away?"
"Dazuna, is Kado really dead?" a villager asked uncertainly.
The villagers, having not found Kado's body, remained apprehensive, their hearts filled with a mixture of hope and fear, like a group of contradictory individuals.
Tazner shouted, "Kong is right. Kado has exploited a lot of our wealth. Anyone who dares to come with me will confirm Kado's death and take back our wealth."
"Yes, support Dazner, get our wealth back, count me in."
Naruto shouted, "Uncle Tazuna, I'll go with you. There might be some gangsters showing up."
In a short while, a group of twenty people formed and headed towards Kado's residence.
They didn't all return until the afternoon. Kado's residence was littered with corpses, and while a small portion of the money had been taken, most of it remained.
At night, the Nippon Bridge is brightly lit, and people are working hard with hope on their faces.
The wealth brought back from Kado has been temporarily sealed up and will be distributed after the bridge is completed.
Kong sat quietly on a bridge pier, watching the villagers building the bridge in the distance.
Sasuke sat on the other side; the two of them were on night duty that night, while Kakashi hid in the darkness not far away, resting with his eyes closed.
For Kakashi, Zabuza was always a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
However, Soraka knew that Zabuza probably wouldn't appear. He and Haku were currently hiding in their previous residence to recover from their injuries and had no intention of continuing to fight.
Perhaps Zabuza had indeed prepared to die with his enemy, but now that resolve has been broken.
Open the system store, and you'll find two new items.
One is an enhanced version of lime bombs, the enhanced version of lime bombs he is using today.
Similar to the two smoke grenades that appeared before, this is an enhanced version. The entire smoke grenade is grayish, like it was made of compressed lime.
Kong looked at the second one, looked at it again and again, and made sure he wasn't seeing things. The picture showed a pile of dog poop.
It's called "dog poop luck." The person who steps in dog poop will lose a portion of their luck and become unlucky, while the person who throws the dog poop will gain that lost portion of their luck.
The duration is one hour.
Kong revealed a slight smile. This was truly incredible luck; he could either manifest it and throw it directly, or he could designate it to appear on the ground through the system space screen.
However, there are also certain limitations.
It should be at least one step away from a person's feet, but it cannot appear directly under their feet. Ideally, it should be placed on the ground where a person is about to step on it; that is, one step away.
Another limitation is that it only works by stepping on it; it won't work if you bite it with your teeth or grab it with your hands.
Luck is often limited in time, but it can be very useful. If used well, it can even turn the tide of battle, making it an important strategic weapon.
It's just that the name doesn't sound very good. I was just incredibly lucky, so I didn't bother with a proper or systematic name.
P.S.: I originally wanted to adjust the update schedule and put all three chapters before midnight, but I had some things to do during the day, so I couldn't make the adjustment.
I'm asking for your monthly votes, investments, favorites, and recommendations.
Chapter Thirty-Six, Fourth Time
The warm sunlight shone down, and suddenly a strong force came from the fishing rod in my empty hand, making the fishing line taut.
"Haha, it's a big fish, Shikamaru, I'm counting on you from now on."
Shikamaru reluctantly crossed his index fingers, activated the Shadow Imitation Technique, locked onto the large, wriggling fish on the surface of the sea, and immobilized it.
The body slowly retreated, the big fish was trapped in the sea, and was gradually pulled ashore, then scooped into the net.
"Not bad, it weighs five or six pounds, enough for an extra meal tonight."
Shikamaru rolled his eyes and said, "You fish, I do the work? You're really something else. I'd better go check on Asuma-sensei and the others."
"I never expected you to be like this, Shikamaru. I thought that with our relationship, you wouldn't care about such a small thing."
"It's so heartbreaking, Shikamaru. I considered you my best friend, but I never expected this... Sigh."
Shikamaru's lips twitched. He had never seen such a shameless person. For five consecutive days, the person had made Shikamaru use his Shadow Imitation Technique to pull up the fish every time they went fishing, ostensibly to help Shikamaru train.
[The day before yesterday was the worst; they exhausted Shikamaru to the point of collapse, leaving him completely drained.]
"Tsk tsk, tell me the truth, haven't you become more proficient in using the Shadow Imitation Technique in these five days? You've probably used it more times than you have in the past twelve years. You should thank me."
Shikamaru admits that he is indeed more skilled at Shadow Imitation Technique, but he knows that Sora wouldn't be so kind; he probably just wants free labor.
[Shikamaru always prides himself on his superior intelligence, yet he's been treated like a fool for days. This is an insult to his intelligence.]
Sora laughed: "So it was just a matter of saving face. I'll tell Asuma and Kakashi-sensei tonight that this is all thanks to you."
"You're trying to trick me again, but I won't fall for it. I was hoping to have a couple of days of leisure, but now you're ruthlessly exploiting me every day. I'd better stick to doing things with Asuma-sensei."
Shikamaru feels more relaxed around honest people like Asuma-sensei. He doesn't have to think too much, and there's a thrill of intellectually crushing them. There are too many empty schemes.
Shikamaru turned and left, ignoring Sora's attempts to stop him, as if some ferocious beast was behind him.
Without Shikamaru, fishing alone is no fun, so he gives his only fish to Tazuna's daughter, Tsunami.
In the forest, Naruto and Sasuke fought fiercely, with multiple shadow clones seemingly flying out of Naruto's body to relentlessly pursue and intercept Sasuke.
"Clap clap clap, what a great fight! I didn't expect you two to have improved so much in just a few days."
"Kong, when did you get here?"
Naruto stopped his attack, and Sora appeared on a large tree at the edge of the battle, above Sakura's head.
"Swish" "Swish"
Two kunai flew out of Sasuke's hands, collided with each other, adjusted their direction, and launched an attack into the air from both sides.
Suddenly, two kunai appeared in his empty hands, each drawing an arc to deflect the kunai.
"Erzhuzi, don't use the Uchiha Throwing Technique on your own people. I'm just as good at it as you are."
With a quick turn, he swung both arms, sending kunai flying at the same time, even faster than Sasuke's previous attack.
Sasuke leaped up, dodging two kunai, and rushed over quickly, closing the distance between them. He then produced two more kunai and launched a fierce attack, beginning close combat.
[The weather's nice today, so Sasuke's taking the opportunity to beat up Kou and vent his anger. He's really felt his own improvement these past two days.]
"You bastard, you actually used me as a sparring partner. Don't underestimate me."
"Hmph, let's finish the fight first."
"Go Sasuke! Show Ku what you're made of!"
Sakura looked on with glee, never expecting to see Uchiha Sora get beaten up. Sasuke was so cool!
Sora glanced at Sakura and said, "Don't be happy now, you'll be crying in a minute."
Sasuke strode forward quickly, thrusting kunai around the air with remarkable ferocity.
Just as Sasuke lifted his foot to land again, a pile of dog poop appeared at his feet.
Sasuke felt his foot slip and step on something. Yes, it was a pile of dog poop, fresh dog poop from some stray dog that had just come from somewhere.
Sasuke's face turned pale instantly, his movements froze, and even his kunai were two beats slower.
He kicked out and sent Sasuke flying.
"Looks like you're having a bad day. You even stepped in dog poop while walking. As a qualified ninja, the most important thing is to gather information about your surroundings."
"You didn't even notice something as important as dog poop; you seem to lack experience."
Sasuke never expected that Ku would find another opportunity to teach him a lesson. If he didn't beat Ku to a pulp today, where would Sasuke's authority as an older brother be?
After a couple of casual brushes, Sasuke charged forward again, swinging his kunai to parry quickly while simultaneously moving closer to Naruto.
Sasuke kicked out, parried with both hands, and stepped back to create distance.
Sasuke rushed over, and a smile suddenly appeared on Sora's serious face.
An invisible needle appeared in his hand and shot into Sasuke's body, activating the "bromance" skill.
"Substitution Jutsu." Sora instantly switched places with Naruto, and Sasuke, who was rushing forward, suddenly slipped and his whole body flew up.
Naruto and Sasuke locked eyes, seemingly forgetting to think, only feeling a sense of familiarity at this moment.
Sakura felt the world go dark, the scene seemed to freeze at that moment, and only three words appeared in her mind: Why?
"Boom."
"Sizzle"
The sound of two people colliding was heard in front, followed by the sound of them kissing.
"Heavens above, earth below, what have I just witnessed? In just one month, you two have already kissed four times."
If you truly love each other, don't care about worldly opinions. I will wish you both well.
Kong looked as if he had seen something unbelievable, his face full of shock, but anyone could tell that he was just pretending.
Sakura collapsed to the ground, seemingly stunned, repeatedly saying, "How could this be? How could this be? I must be dreaming. Sasuke is mine. He could never like Naruto. It's all because of Sora."
"That's right, it's all Sora's fault. If he hadn't used the Substitution Jutsu, Sasuke wouldn't have kissed Naruto."
Kakashi nearly fell off the tree. He hadn't expected to witness such a shocking scene so soon after arriving. Kakashi recalled some scenes he couldn't bear to look at.
"You guys continue, just pretend I didn't see anything."
"Kakashi-sensei, it's all Ku's fault."
Sakura vehemently denied any connection between Naruto and Sasuke, fearing there might actually be something going on between them.
Sasuke stood up, gritting his teeth as he shouted, "Uchiha Sora!"
"Ku, you bastard, you actually used me as a substitute technique! I'll never let you get away with this today!"
