Points Worth Spending

After Nagasawa finished spending the points, he felt as if he had arrived in a vast expansion of whiteness.

He felt that this should be a spiritual world simulated by the system.

However, Nagasawa could not do anything. He could only sense the condition of his body.

He couldn't even control his body. He could only sense that he was automatically learning Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode.

"It has to be the system. Points are just too convenient."

Nagasawa could already sense the natural energy that filled this space.

It was crazy fast. Perceiving natural energy was the first step in Sage Mode's practice.

Soon, Nagasawa sensed that his body was absorbing the natural energy in the vicinity.

Of course, Nagasawa knew that this was all an illusion. It was just a simulation. His real body did not actually absorb natural energy.

Just when Nagasawa thought that he was going to start moulding Senjutsu Chakra, he woke up and returned to the real world.

Nagasawa immediately opened the interface again. This time, Nagasawa instantly spent 40,000 points.

It was still the same illusory space, but this time, a new prompt popped out!

[Do you want to continue simulation 1 or create a new simulation? ]

Nagasawa discovered that this stimulus could be renamed. He then renamed simulation 1 to Shikkotsu Forest Sage Technique.

Nagasawa thought about it and entered the progress of the previous time.

He had spent a total of 50,000 points on this simulation. He wanted to see how far he could get.

Soon, the feeling natural energy entering his body came again. When the amount of natural energy sucked in reached a certain amount, something occurred.

Nagasawa sensed that his Chakra and the natural energy had reached a certain balance and began to fuse.

A brand new Chakra emerged on Nagasawa's body. Nagasawa could feel the power of that Chakra.

Compared to ordinary chakra, Senjutsu Chakra was way more potent.

Moreover, he also sensed that he had other special abilities. For example, his recovery ability had skyrocketed, and he had also learned a new Sage Technique.

He could turn his Chakra into a strong corrosive acid.

Without a doubt, these were all the abilities of the Slug Sage.

At this point, he could be considered to have mastered Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode.

Shortly after, Nagasawa returned to the real world.

"It sure consumes a lot of points." Nagasawa rubbed his forehead.

He had spent a total of 50,000 points to learn the basics.

For the record, this method required less point.

He might have to spend more than 200,000 points if he used the Instant Method, which would take two months for Nagasawa to collect.

And that was only learning the basic. The amount of points needed to strengthen it would be astronomical.

However, it was certainly worth it. During the simulation process, he did not feel any changes in his body.

Nagasawa stopped spending points on Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode. He needed to properly process what he had felt today.

Although it wasn't done on the real body, and it was all just a simulation, he felt that it was real.

This simulation gave Nagasawa a bold idea. In a sense, the Challenge Mission was like a simulation.

However, the simulation was very real, so real that it was exactly the same as the real world.

Nagasawa seriously suspected that the system was deceiving him. Maybe it was not an illusion at all. He might have entered a parallel world.

In the past, Nagasawa felt that attempting a Challenge Mission was very expensive. The first time was free, and every time he failed, he would require 42,000 points to attempt the Challenge Mission again.

However, after spending 50,000 points in this stimulus method, attempting to do a Challenge Mission didn't sound as expensive anymore.

After entering the Challenge Mission, the system would help him create a body that was exactly the same as his template. On top of that, anything he went through during the Challenge Mission wouldn't affect his real body whatsoever.

This meant that he could do anything he wanted!

Although the simulation space allowed him to learn Sage Mode like earlier, he could not actually fight.

During the Challenge Mission, he could develop his own Sage Mode using the Sage Mode he had learned earlier. Then, he could test Sage Mode's various abilities in the challenge mission to come up with some ideas.

Nagasawa felt that he had comprehended the new way to use the challenge mission.

However, it was a pity that he did not have that many points at the moment.

A newly learned Sage Mode would not be enough for the Fourth Shinobi World War. At the very least, he had to get to Hashirama's level.

At that time, he should be able to meet Six Paths Obito.

At present, he could receive 24,000 points in a week. Adding on some random points, he would be able to gather 50,000 points in two weeks.

Nagasawa was prepared to throw all his points into the simulation, and then he would attempt to do the Challenge Mission.

It was naturally ideal if he could clear it right away. He could use Tobirama Senju's talent to become a Forbidden Technique master.

If he couldn't clear it, he could just treat it as an experiment for Sage Mode and also practice with Sixt Path-level enemies.

...

Jūzō Biwa had been away from Land of Water for some time.

Because he brought out all the money he had saved, plus the fact that Yugakure was a small country. His daily expenses were relatively low, so Jūzō Biwa lived a very comfortable life.

Yugakure's hot spring was famous, and it was a very peaceful country. Many nobles and some rich people liked to go on vacation there.

Jūzō Biwa had also had enough fun these days, soaking in the hot spring, and having a girl in a bathrobe massaged him.

In the past, how could he enjoy this kind of pleasure in Kirigakure?

However, as he lived like this every day, Jūzō Biwa always felt a sense of emptiness.

On this day, Jūzō Biwa walked into the hot spring as usual.

He was a VIP, so he could carry Kubikiribōchō into the hot spring without the staff complaining.

Jūzō Biwa did not like to share the hot spring with others, so he wanted a small private room.

Today, Jūzō Biwa did not call anyone to attend to his needs. He just quietly soaked in the hot spring, closing his eyes.

He was clearly in the hot spring, but Jūzō Biwa did not feel any warmth. He only felt a burst of emptiness and boredom.

Now, Jūzō Biwa even hoped that there would be two Kirigakure's Anbu who would come to arrest him so that he could beat them up.

"Sir, you can't enter. This is the private room of a member..."

Suddenly, Jūzō Biwa heard a commotion. It seemed that someone wanted to force their way into his private room.
