Refining Shinigami Mask (Part 1)

The reason why Zhang Miao recruited Deidara was not because he was interested in his ability, but because he wanted to complete the recruitment mission required for "becoming a god" and find a means of transportation.

Since it was not for the sake of obtaining the other party's ability, then there was no need to be surprised or disappointed. Therefore, after hearing the system prompt that he had obtained the Extreme Explosion specialty, Zhang Miao's face was expressionless and calm.

"Another weak specialty? But it doesn't matter. System, quickly help me open up the list of Deidara's specialties. Hurry up so that I can travel faster!"

After hearing Zhang Miao's words, the system's voice sounded.

"[Yes, opening the list…]"

As the system notification sounded out, the list of Deidara's specialties immediately appeared in front of Zhang Miao.

[Option 1:]

[Bloodline Limit - Explosive Clay: By blending chakra into the clay, it will be turned into a controllable explosive. The more explosive clay you use, the more chakra you mix, and the greater the explosion of clay. ]

[Note: Art is explosion! ]

[Option 2:]

[Mouth on Palm: Giving our palm an extra mouth, making it easier and quicker to utilize your explosive clay.]

[Note: This mouth can not eat food, but it can eat clay. ]

[Option 3:]

[Self-destruct: Detonate yourself. Can flatten a radius of tens of kilometers. Its power is equivalent to the strongest Tailed Beast Bomb of the Ten-tails. Its power is enough to kill Manda]

[Note: The ultimate embodiment of the art of explosion.]

After seeing the three specialties of Deidara, Zhang Miao's face suddenly showed a trace of helplessness.

"All three specialties are related to explosions. This guy is really worthy of being a blasting maniac. Forget it, I should choose a slightly normal one!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao immediately pressed his hand on the first option. As his finger pressed down, the system notification rang out again.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the boss for obtaining Bloodline Limit - Explosive Clay.]"

After hearing the system notification, Zhang Miao immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at the count in front of him.

"Since you like explosions so much, I feel that I should give you a name full of art and explosive feeling. From today onwards, your name will be Deikira!"

"... "

What the hell is Deikira? Where is the supposed sense of art and explosion?

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the corner of Deikira's mouth, who had just obtained a new name, twitched twice. Then, he knelt down on one knee helplessly to Zhang Miao.

"Thank you for your name, Your Holiness. I am willing to offer all my loyalty and life to Your Holiness. Your honor is as important as the explosion!"

Zhang Miao: "... "

"Damn, he couldn't forget the explosion even now!"

Looking at Deikira in front of him, Zhang Miao finally understood how hard for people to change their nature, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Alright, get up quickly. Hurry up and get your clay bird out. We still have to hurry!"

"Yes, Your Holiness. I'll do it now, Hm!"

After hearing Zhang Miao's words, Deikira stood up and quickly formed a seal to call out his explosive clay giant bird and control it to stand up.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao did not hesitate and jumped onto the back of the giant bird. Then he sat down cross-legged and nodded to Deikira.

"Alright, let's go to Konoha!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Deikiraflew the clay bird into the air and flew in the direction of the Land of Fire.

As Zhang Miao's "imperial flying carriage driver", Deikira was very competent. Not only was he flying fast, but he was also very stable. Zhang Miao couldn't help but nod at his skillful flying skills.

"Well, this giant bird can be called a private jet. I will always take him with me when I go out in the future. It can save me a lot of trouble!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao grinned and then ordered the system.

"System, help me take out the Shinigami Mask that sealed Minato's soul. I want to refine it!"

"[Yes, Your Holiness!]" 

As soon as Zhang Miao said this, the system immediately agreed.

At the same time, a grim Shinigami Mask with two horns appeared in Zhang Miao's hand. Looking at the Shinigami Mask in his hand, Zhang Miao smiled again.

"Is Minato's soul sealed in this mask? After I refine this mask, will I be able to release his soul?"

"[Yes!]" 

After hearing Zhang Miao's question, the system immediately answered him, 

"[After His Holiness refines the Shinigami Mask, he can imprison or release the soul sealed in the mask. May I ask if the host will start refining it now?]"

"Yes!"

Facing this question, Zhang Miao naturally had nothing to hesitate about. He directly put the mask in his hand on his face and nodded.

"Begin refining!"

As soon as his voice fell, the Shinigami Mask on his face immediately emitted a blinding white light. When the white light dissipated, Zhang Miao's image completely changed.

Zhang Miao's originally blood-red long hair suddenly turned snow-white at this moment. The short sleeves and breeches on his body also turned into a white and loose robe. His originally empty left hand now had a long string of prayer beads.

The most incredible thing was that Zhang Miao still felt that something suddenly appeared in his mouth. When he removed the thing in his mouth with his hand, he found that it was a white long saber!

At this time, the system's prompt sounded, 

"[Ding! Congratulations to Your Holiness for obtaining the Soul Bead Bracelet and the Soul Blade!]"

"Soul Bead Bracelet and Soul Blade?" Hearing the system's words, Zhang Miao's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, "What is that?"

"Your Holiness, the Soul Bead Bracelet and Soul Blade are divine artifacts!"

The moment Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system immediately explained to him.

"[When using the bracelet, the power of Shinigami will transform into an invisible hand. As long as this hand catches the target, the other party's soul will be pulled out and sealed within the Shinigami Mask! ]

"Hiss..."

After hearing the system's explanation, Zhang Miao immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, his face revealing a bit of shock.

"Sealing the soul... Isn't that the Dead Demon Consuming Seal? Is the use of the soul blade to cut off the other party's soul?"

"Yes!"

Just as Zhang Miao had expected, as his voice fell, the system immediately gave him a definite answer.

"The effect of the Soul Blade is to cut off the soul of the other party. When there is a large amount of Chakra and can not pull out the soul of the other party in one go, the Shinigami will use the Soul Blade to cut off the soul that is pulled out, and then seal it many times until all of it is sealed."

Zhang Miao: "…"

"Damn, there is such an operation?"

After listening to the system's explanation of the Soul Bead Bracelet and the Soul Blade, Zhang Miao couldn't help but sigh.

"Damn it, the Shinigami is really worthy of being a 11-star Pseud-god. This power is already strong to the extreme. Just these two weapons alone are immensely strong. Speaking of which, can I use these two things?"

"[Yes!]" 

Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system's voice sounded again, "[As long as Your Holiness puts on the completed Shinigami Mask, you can use these two artifacts!]"

Hearing the system's words, Zhang Miao's eyes immediately lit up.

However, before he could cheer, the next sentence of the system immediately extinguished his enthusiasm.

"[Using the Soul Bead Bracelet and the Soul Blade requires the consumption of 7-star Ninja Fragments. Ten of them per second. Once the 7-star Ninja Fragments are consumed, the refined Shinigami Mask must be refined again!]"

Zhang Miao: "... "

"Damn, so it was for a one-time use all along?!"
