[Conversion Successful. Please check the item.]
"Nice!"
Shinji swung his arm hard and exhaled sharply.
As long as it hadn't failed or been destroyed, this attempt was already a win.
As for the ability attributes? He wasn't expecting much.
After all, under normal circumstances, this Snake Sword couldn't have been converted at all. It was only the forced conversion effect of the [Cursed Tool Conversion Card] and the gamble of 10,000 Cursed Souls that made it possible.
Successfully converting it was pure luck!
Failure would've been a total loss.
But sotis, the less you hope for sothing, the more likely you are to be pleasantly surprised.
Cursed Tool: Snake-Skin Sword
Turtle-Snake Force Dispersion: Reduces the impact of physical attacks by 60%.
Spirit Binding: Each successful attack absorbs a portion of the enemy's chakra or cursed energy. When fully charged, the snake eyes on the blade glow red.
Golden Snake Frenzy: Releases all accumulated energy, temporarily awakening the Golden Snake to attack. Snake fangs carry a petrification curse.
Petrification Curse: Irreversibly turns the body into stone and partially suppresses regenerative abilities.
...
After reading through the new cursed tool, Shinji grinned from ear to ear.
Aside from the ridiculous na, all four abilities were extrely practical!
[Turtle-Snake Force Dispersion] was a top-tier defense skill, [Spirit Binding] could continuously weaken enemies, and [Golden Snake Frenzy] was essentially the ultimate move.
But what he coveted most was [Petrification Curse]!
Irreversible regeneration suppression!
This ant anyone hit by the [Petrification Curse] was basically on death's doorstep.
Especially the Special-Grade Cursed Spirits that had always given him so much trouble.
With this ability, he could counteract the reverse techniques of Special-Grade Cursed Spirits—healing—and surely give them a surprise when the ti ca!
Shinji played with the golden short sword in his hands, unable to put it down.
At this point, the Snake Sword had also undergone so changes.
First, it had beco shorter, roughly half the length of an arm.
Second, its design had changed. At the junction between the blade and the hilt rested a sleeping snake head with closed eyes. The curved blade extended from the snake's mouth, like a serpent flicking its tongue!
The hilt was covered in scale-like patterns, but they didn't prick the hand.
The color remained a shiny golden yellow, gleaming brilliantly under the sunlight.
Shinji was extrely satisfied as he stored it away carefully.
From now on, whenever he faced a difficult enemy, this snake sword could bare its fangs!
Most importantly, he no longer had to worry about Saibote taking it away.
Even if that guy managed to grab it, he couldn't reclaim its true power.
"What you want is the Golden Snake Sword, what does it have to do with my Snake-Skin Sword?"
Shinji laughed out loud.
That would probably make his enemy spit blood in frustration!
Glancing at his remaining 14,400 Cursed Souls, he didn't rush to gamble again. He decided to save them for later.
This thing was hard-earned, and who knew when it might be needed—like just now, when he forcibly used the [Cursed Tool Conversion Card].
So keeping so in reserve was wise.
Looking at it this way, this trip to the Land of Wind had not only been profitable, it had been a huge gain.
Shinji chuckled in his heart and began going through various pieces of intelligence about Cursed Spirits that he had bought from the exchange, pondering where to head next to make another profit!
...
Within a cave at the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain.
The barrier opened, and two figures in fiery cloud robes walked in directly.
At the appointed ti, Nagato, in a tall tower in the Land of Rain, imdiately activated the Projection Body Technique, amplifying the "Waves of Thought" sent by other Akatsuki mbers, and projected them as illusions in specific locations.
Buzz—
In the dim cave, illusions with seven-colored luminous patterns appeared in their designated spots.
"So soon, gathering everyone again. Is there a new mission?"
Deidara, with his hair tied up in a high ponytail, was the first to ask, drawing a side-eye from the Scorpion hidden in Sasori's container—apparently thinking he was too reckless.
The illusion of Pain's Deva Path spoke slowly: "Not long ago, a type of unidentified creature suddenly appeared in the ninja world."
"Thanks to the destruction and threats these unknown beings caused across the nations, Akatsuki received nurous contracts, gaining considerable rewards."
"This gathering is mainly to hear your thoughts on these unknown beings."
Many were surprised, unsure of what the leader ant.
But asking this question to them was appropriate—too many "monsters" had already died at their hands.
"Weak, and easily defeated!"
Kakuzu, who had first encountered this type of unknown creature, voiced his opinion first.
For a while, no one else spoke, seemingly agreeing with Kakuzu's assessnt.
After a brief silence, however, the usually quiet Sasori gave a different view.
"Highly adaptable, very special."
He said no more, and silence fell again.
Feeling awkward, Deidara forced a laugh and clapped, "Sasori's's right!"
This imdiately drew everyone's attention, viewing him like a fool.
Sasori's felt mortified and thought, Maybe later I should just turn this guy into a puppet.
"Any other opinions?" Pain's Deva Path asked again.
"What exactly is going on? Can we stop guessing?"
Sensing danger, Deidara quickly tried to change the topic.
If Pain knew he wasn't trying anything, just speaking thoughtlessly as usual, next ti he'd have the Deva Path give him a full Shuradō Tenchū treatnt to let him feel real pain!
Damn, is being a leader really this powerless?
Just casually interrupting the boss's speech—don't you want to stay in the organization?!
Little Deidara had no idea that with just two careless sentences, he had offended two top mbers of the organization, laying the groundwork for inexplicable beatings in the future.
Refocusing, the Deva Path signaled: "Itachi, since you discovered this, you will explain."
Only Itachi and Kisa had personally participated in this mission; everyone else was elsewhere.
Itachi nodded slightly, "Our previous mission with Kisa was in the Land of Grain, where the sa chaos appeared. But this ti, we encountered a particularly tricky target."
"The enemy called themselves Hanami, capable of controlling plants, and possessed strong resistance to attacks. Even after Kisa and I combined our efforts, they were able to fight back and ultimately escaped."
This revelation left everyone, except for Pain's Deva Path and Konan, shocked.
The more one understood Itachi's power, the more unbelievable it was that soone could escape from him!
