Chapter 438: Updated Ninja Recruitment (Patreon)

---1/2---

Osaka-

Temporary base of S.H.I.E.L.D-

At this moment, a special agent walked over to Lance Hunter, holding a document in his hand.

"Sir, we have used truth serum on the target individuals, and used lie detectors, electrocardiograms, and other equipment to ensure that the events are fully restored."

"This is their confession."

Lance Hunter took the document, glanced at it, and then threw it onto the table.

The cause of this incident was actually mistaking the other party for someone from a hostess club. After the other party ignored him, he even tried to harass her, and was beaten to the ground before calling on gang members for backup.

Looking at these ridiculous excuses, Lance Hunter thought to himself: trash, they really deserve to be wiped out.

He then confirmed, "Has the scene been investigated?"

"It has been investigated. It was a dead end with no surveillance, and there were no clues as to how the ninja appeared there."

Lance Hunter nodded, then said, "Arrange for someone to remotely monitor that alley and see if there are any other discoveries."

"As for these two gangsters, since they're of no use, just get rid of them."

"Yes, Sir!"

"Arrange for personnel to search for the target's location. Once found, do not disturb them and notify me immediately."

"Yes, Sir!"

…

Jotunheim-

In the underground cave, Thor began to recover his consumed divine power, while Charles directly recharged the ice crystal in his hand.

Ding!Recharge successful, obtained 2000 coins!

Hearing that an ice crystal was worth two thousand coins, a smile appeared on Charles's face.

It seemed like he was going to make a big profit in this mission. He wondered how many Frost Giants and Mountain Giants of lord-level were in Jotunheim.

Then, he recharged the Heart of the Earth, also obtaining 2000 coins.

Earning 6000 coins from one battle was not bad at all!

Charles glanced at Thor, who was recovering his divine power, and his consciousness directly entered the system space.

He glanced at his current possession of eight ninja recruitment scrolls and opened the Ninja Recruitment System interface.

As he entered the ninja recruitment interface, Charles looked at the details of the prize pool.

After recruiting the Uchiha Itachi from Akatsuki, not only did Itachi, the high-level recruit, switch to Mei Terumi, but other ninjas also had changes.

High-level Recruitment: Mei Terumi

A-rank Recruitment: Might Guy, Asuma Sarutobi

B-rank Recruitment: Sasuke Uchiha (Shippuden), Sakura Haruno (Shippuden), Ino Yamanaka (Shippuden), Naruto Uzumaki (Shippuden), Kurenai Yuhi, Haku

C-rank Recruitment: Hanabi Hyuga, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Chojuro, Sakon and Ukon, Tonton, Ao, Gama Bunta, Temari, Kiba Inuzuka, Iruka Umino, Shizune, Sasuke Uchiha (Kid), Tenten

The newly introduced ninjas, Might Guy and Asuma Sarutobi, are quite good.

Among the B-rank ninjas, many new faces have appeared, such as Kurenai Yuhi, Sasuke Uchiha (Shippuden), and Haku. Especially the appearance of Haku can be used to fill the ranks of the Mist Village.

But when Charles finished looking at the updated C-rank ninjas, he realized that he could finally assemble the "Konoha Twelve" with ease.

As he looked through them, he found that there was a Jonin from the Mist Village.

With the presence of these two Mist Village ninjas, Charles had a good plan in mind for how to arrange Mei Terumi.

Looking at the recruitable ninjas, Charles calculated in his mind. The next battle slot required 36,000 coins, and he didn't have enough coins on hand.

But if he used them for recruitment, whether to complete the Konoha Twelve or recruit the leaders Might Guy or Asuma Sarutobi, he could earn title rewards.

The cost of recruiting them would not exceed 36,000 coins. After calculating the cost-effectiveness, Charles spent his coins to directly purchase two ninja recruitment scrolls, bringing his total to 10 scrolls.

Since Thor was present in the outside world, Charles did not perform any blessing ceremony outside. Instead, he proceeded directly to the ninja recruitment.

"Ninja recruitment, ten consecutive draws, go!"

The whirlpool symbol of the Land of Whirlpools appeared before his eyes, emitting a peculiar light. After a flash of light, the recruitment results appeared before Charles.

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Sakura Haruno fragment x2!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Shizune fragment x1!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Ao fragment x2!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Temari fragment x2!

Ding! Obtained A-rank ninja, Mei Terumi fragment x1!

Ding! Obtained A-rank ninja, Mei Terumi fragment x5!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Kurenai Yuhi fragment x4!

As the recruitment ended, Charles looked at his recruitment results and found that his luck was still good.

He obtained 6 Mei Terumi fragments on his first recruitment, as well as fragments for Kurenai Yuhi and Might Guy. It was truly a profitable haul.

With 4 Might Guy fragments, along with the 22 fragments he previously purchased from the ninja shop, his total reached 26 fragments, just 14 fragments away from the 40-piece threshold. It seemed that he could unlock his Eight Inner Gates ability even further soon.

In addition, he obtained 4 fragments for Kurenai Yuhi, bringing her total to 31 fragments with the 27 fragments he had previously purchased from the ninja shop. It seemed he was getting closer to success with her recruitment as well.

After reviewing all the information, Charles knew that this recruitment did not collect enough fragments for any ninja.

Upon tallying the results of this ten-consecutive recruitment, he obtained 23 fragments, which can be considered quite a good quantity.

If Haku were successfully recruited, using the Ice Release, the Frost Giants would probably be overwhelmed.

After collecting all the fragments, Charles looked at his current good luck and prepared to continue the ninja recruitment.

After spending another 1680 coins, Charles purchased ten ninja recruitment scrolls and continued with the ninja recruitment.

"Ninja Recruitment, ten consecutive draws, start!"

The whirlpool symbol of the Land of Whirlpools appeared again before Charles's eyes, emitting a peculiar light. After a flash of light, the recruitment results also appeared before his eyes.

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Kurenai Yuhi fragments x4!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Ino Yamanaka fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Temari fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Iruka Umino fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Sasuke Uchiha (Shippuden) fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Haku fragments x4!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Iruka Umino fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Nara Shikamaru fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Sasuke Uchiha (Shippuden) fragments x1!

Ding! Obtained A-rank ninja, Terumi Mei fragments x1!

With the recruitment concluded, Charles's eyebrows furrowed slightly. His good luck seemed to have come to an end. This time, Terumi only got recruited once, obtaining only one fragment.

After reviewing all the information, Charles found that this recruitment had collected enough fragments to complete Temari's recruitment.

It seemed that her strength would be greatly enhanced. As for the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, they were also not far from successful recruitment as well.

After tallying up the results of this ten-consecutive recruitment, he obtained 25 fragments, although the quantity of fragments was higher than last time, the quality was slightly lower.

Among them, he obtained 1 fragment for an A-rank ninja, 14 fragments for B-rank ninjas, and 10 fragments for C-rank ninjas.

After collecting all the fragments, Charles looked at the soon-to-be completed Eighth Squad and once again spent 1680 coins on ninja recruitment.

"Ninja Recruitment, ten consecutive draws, start!"

The whirlpool symbol of the Land of Whirlpools appeared again before Charles's eyes, emitting a peculiar light. After a flash of light, the recruitment results also appeared before his eyes.

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Sasuke Uchiha (Shippuden) fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Shikamaru Nara fragments x5!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Iruka Umino fragments x1!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Tenten fragments x5!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Haku fragments x4!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Nara Shikamaru fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Sasuke Uchiha (Shippuden) fragments x1!

Ding! Obtained A-rank ninja, Asuma Sarutobi fragments x4!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Kurenai Yuhi fragments x4!

Ding! Obtained A-rank ninja, Terumi Mei fragments x1!

With the recruitment concluded, Charles was even more frustrated. Terumi was only recruited one time once again.

After reviewing all the information, Charles didn't manage to recruit any ninja this time. Both Shikamaru and Choji were one fragment short, while their team leader Asuma Sarutobi was 27 fragments short.

After collecting all the fragments, Charles looked at Kurenai Yuhi, who only needed 1 more fragment to reach the recruitment standard. Without further ado, he spent 1680 coins on ninja recruitment again.

"Ninja Recruitment, ten consecutive draws, start!"

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Kurenai Yuhi fragments x1!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Haku fragments x4!

Ding! Obtained A-rank ninja, Asuma Sarutobi fragments x4!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Ino Yamanaka fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained A-rank ninja, Asuma Sarutobi fragments x1!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Naruto Uzumaki fragments x1!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Sasuke Uchiha (Shippuden) fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Nara Shikamaru fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Ino Yamanaka fragments x2!

Ding! Obtained A-rank ninja, Terumi Mei fragments x1!

Once again, it was only one fragment of Terumi Mei that appeared. This result left Charles quite speechless. The only consolation was that Terumi Mei's fragments successfully appeared, reaching the standard of 40 fragments for ninja recruitment.

After reviewing all the information, Charles found that this time, apart from Kurenai Yuhi, Nara Shikamaru also reached the ninja recruitment standard.

After tallying up the results of this ten-consecutive recruitment, he obtained 20 fragments. However, the quality ranked second among the four recruitment sessions, indicating that fewer fragments led to higher quality.

Among them, there were 6 fragments for A-rank ninjas, 10 fragments for B-rank ninjas, and 4 fragments for C-rank ninjas. After collecting all the fragments, Charles took a moment to tally up his results from this ten-consecutive recruitments.

In total, he spent 5738 coins and obtained 96 ninja fragments, successfully recruiting 3 ninjas and earning one battle position.

Seeing what he got back for 6720 coins, Charles realized that it was much more cost-effective than directly purchasing ninjas.

It was practically earning blood money. The only regret was that limited edition ninjas wouldn't appear in the ninja recruitment pool. To obtain them, one could only purchase them separately.

With his goal achieved, Charles exited the ninja recruitment interface and went to the interface of ninja roster.

At this moment, the originally grayed-out avatars of Kurenai Yuhi, Nara Shikamaru, and Temari were now illuminated, indicating that they could be recruited as ninjas.

Looking at the one B-rank ninja and two C-rank ninjas before him, Charles knew that his strength would once again increase with the successful recruitment of these three individuals. As for the issue of the three ninja battle positions, Charles decided to put it on hold for now.

B-rank ninja – Kurenai Yuhi 40/40 recruitment, C-rank ninja - Nara Shikamaru 10/10 recruitment, C-rank ninja - Temari 10/10 recruitment.

Looking at the three ninjas, Charles chose to recruit C-rank ninja Temari first.

In the next moment, a new screen popped up.

It showed Temari wearing the forehead protector of the Hidden Sand Village around her neck. The three-star fan in her hand was opened, poised for attack, with a line of large text beside her displaying: "Giant Fan Dance, Sweeping All Things!"
