Even the C-rank ninja Naruto, who had learned the Rasengan, was only 5 fragments away from completion. The day of assembling him was not far off.
As for the remaining rewards, there were 60 gold coins, 60 prestige, and 25,000 copper coins.
Taking advantage of his current good luck, Charles decided to continue and open Ninja Art Scrolls!
Currently, he had stored 12 Ninja Art Scrolls. Today, he intended to open all of them, hoping to get one or two new skills, preferably the Mystical Palm Technique or Genjutsu.
"Ten consecutive Ninja Art Scrolls, open!"
The Ninja Art Scrolls in his backpack emitted a dazzling light, transforming into individual Ninja Art fragments before Charles.

Looking at the subtitles popping up on the screen and the consecutive Ninja Art fragment information, after collecting all the fragments, Charles didn't immediately check but continued to click on the remaining two Ninja Art Scrolls.
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Genjutsu - Illusionary Area, Ninja Art Fragment x1!
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Lightning Release - Lightning Strike, Ninja Art Fragment x1!
After using all the Ninja Art Scrolls, Charles began to check his harvest. Perhaps due to becoming the successor of the Supreme Merlin, the results of harvest using the scrolls were exceptionally ideal this time.
Twelve Ninja Art Scrolls yielded 17 Ninja Art fragments, covering various elements like Earth Release, Wind Release, Water Release, Lightning Release, Genjutsu, and Medical Ninjutsu.
Notably, Charles finally got Mystical Palm Technique, something he had been yearning for. This could significantly aid Tsunade and Shizune in their medical abilities.
Although they couldn't fully recover to their peak, it provided substantial assistance in treating injuries and illnesses.
After consolidating all the Ninja Art fragments, Charles opened the scroll inventory.
Currently, the skills displayed in the inventory were Body Flicker Technique - Mastery Level 2, Ninjutsu - Wrath Level 1, Ninja Art - Shuriken Manipulation Level 1, and Earth Release - Ground Quake Level 1.
This time, from the 4 Mystical Palm Technique fragments, combined with the 1 fragment obtained previously, he had just enough to synthesize the basic skill.
Without hesitation, Charles clicked on the synthesis.
Ding! Successfully obtained Medical Ninjutsu Mystical Palm Technique Level 1!
Mystical Palm Technique: By outputting chakra from the palm, you can enhance the healing ability of wounds or afflicted areas, a medical ninjutsu. The chakra output needs to be adjusted based on the severity of the disease.
Additionally, excessive chakra output can disrupt the normal circulatory system in the patient, causing them to fall into a coma. Not only for external injuries, but it is also effective in treating internal diseases. (Note: The higher the level of the ninjutsu, the better the healing effect.)
After seeing the introduction of Mystical Palm Technique, Charles nodded in satisfaction.
With the healing ability, combined with the medical techniques of the two medical ninjas and the rejuvenating effects of the wax bath, he no longer had to worry about minor injuries.
Moreover, now that he had learned Mystical Palm Technique, he could provide emergency healing for himself if he got injured.
After obtaining the Mystical Palm technique, Charles turned his attention to the second skill that could be synthesized, Lightning Release - Lightning Strike.
This skill also had 4 ninja art fragments this time, combined with the one obtained previously, allowing Charles to directly synthesize it. He clicked on the synthesis.
Ding! Successfully obtained Lightning Release - Lightning Strike LV1!
Lightning Release - Lightning Strike: Summons a lightning bolt to strike the enemy. If it fails to kill the enemy, it will paralyze them for 2 seconds.
Charles nodded in satisfaction at gaining another Lightning Release ninjutsu. Although this time the secret scroll opening did not yield other ninjutsu attributes or genjutsu, Charles was still very happy.
Lightning Release supplemented his long-range attack capabilities, while Mystical Palm Technique enhanced his survival abilities. Charles's ninja art scroll skills were now increased to 6.
Just as Charles received the two skills, Tsunade, who was in the laboratory researching the secrets of the Alexander bloodline, suddenly discovered that the Mystical Palm Technique she had forgotten about had returned and could be used normally.
She thought to herself, "Charles's strength seems to have increased again!"
Then, Tsunade stretched lazily. Having spent the whole day in the laboratory, it seemed like it was time to go back to her room and get some rest.
Meanwhile, Shizune, who was on a mission with Neji, also paused for a moment. Then, she directly used the Mystical Palm Technique and exclaimed, "My Mystical Palm Technique is finally back! Fantastic!"
...
At this moment, Charles, who had just received two new skills, exited the system space. The doorbell rang just as he got out. Opening the door, he found his secretary Ginny waiting outside.
Ginny said, "Boss, get ready. We need to go to the press conference now. The video of your battle with Abomination has been completely exposed. Many media outlets are already waiting outside the agency and Stark Industries."
"Now, we need to give an answer at the press conference. Should we conceal the information or admit it?"
After a moment of contemplation, Charles thought that there was no need to hide anything, especially since this matter had likely already been exposed to those who were paying attention.
He said directly, "Alright, let's go to the press conference now. We'll admit the information. There's no need to hide it."
Charles put on his suit and followed Ginny downstairs. He glanced at the training room's door before turning to Ginny and said, "Wait for me a moment."
At this time, in the training room, Balthazar had been teaching David throughout the night. They were currently discussing the interactions and counteractions of magic elements.
David threw a fireball towards Balthazar. Balthazar opened his hands, and a vacuum shield instantly appeared, enveloping the flames David had thrown.
"The best way to defend against fire is a vacuum shield."
"Now, it's your turn."
As the flames extinguished, a flame ignited in Balthazar's hands. He then blew it, and it flew directly towards David.
David was about to say that he hadn't learned it yet when he saw the flame coming. He quickly followed Balthazar's movements to defend, creating a vacuum sphere in his hands that enveloped and extinguished the flames.
But he still exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, ah, ah!"
Seeing David successfully use the vacuum shield, Balthazar said, "Very good, very good."
At this moment, the door to the training room was pushed open. Charles addressed the two of them, saying, "There's a dining area outside. You can have your meals there."
Then, turning to Balthazar, Charles said, "Master, I have some personal matters to attend to. It might take some time. I'll get back to studying magic when I return."
