Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 42 Recommendations
One night ten days later, in a camp more than ten kilometers away from Sunagakure Village, the flag of the Crescent Moon Caravan was slowly flying.

Compared with before, not only the number of employees in this caravan has been greatly reduced, but even the boss has been replaced by a young man.

But everyone's eyes were filled with a relaxed look that had never appeared before.

After the bandit incident, the new boss announced that everyone's salary would be tripled from the previous one. Since the new boss was an apprentice himself and knew the hardships of the journey, the food standards of the guys were also raised again and again, every two days. Everyone in the world can have a meal of roasted leg of lamb and receive a small jug of wine.

And because of a special reason, everyone no longer has to worry about meeting other bandits.

At this moment, a thin figure carrying a pot of tea opened the tent and looked inside.

A young man in black is sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating.

In Fuchuan's consciousness, a figure with red skin and strange blue hair was slashing towards Fuchuan with a knife.

Jiu's face is somewhat similar to Fuchuan's, which is the embodiment of divine punishment in his heart.

The two figures intersect.

The sound of the two swords clashing was endless.

In this consciousness space, Fukawa cannot use the Devil Fruit's ability, so he has been suppressed and beaten by God.

But the situation is much better now. At first, Fuchuan couldn't even catch the opponent's move.

Here we can’t help but talk about the scene when Usukawa entered the space of consciousness for the first time.
It turns out that not long after he and Jiraiya parted ways, Fukawa found that he could freely enter this space of consciousness while meditating.

It’s different from Ichigo Kurosaki’s scenes filled with high-rise buildings and oceans.

Fuchuan's consciousness space is like the inside of a volcano waiting to erupt, filled with freely flowing magma and billowing smoke.

But what surprised Fuchuan was that Tianshu, who looked rough and unruly, was exceptionally easy to talk to.

"It's finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

This was the first thing Tianshu said to Fuchuan.

Fukawa looked left and right around the rough figure nearly three meters tall, and couldn't help but asked curiously, "Are you my Zanpakutō?"

"Technically, I'm part of your soul."

"Thank you for helping me before"

"You're welcome." Tianshu looked at the strange look in his eyes and didn't get angry. Instead, he replied warmly, "We are one body. Besides, your soul is already strong enough to communicate with me freely, so All that’s lacking is proficiency.”

"Can Swastika do the same?"

"This...is not good enough."

Alas, do we really still need to rely on the reputation points given by the system?
"But..." Tianshu continued slowly, "I can help you learn it!"

Fuchuan had a look of surprise on his face, but before he could react, the God of Punishment in front of him raised his knife and slashed him in half.
The soul-rending pain took two days and one night to slowly subside.

After that, Fukawa made it clear that if he wanted to learn the swastika, he would have to defeat the Zanpakutō in the consciousness space if he did not rely on reputation points.

So after trying again and again, Fuchuan was unable to fight back at the beginning, until now he was able to fight each other for a while before losing.

After this hard fight with the Heavenly Punishment, Fuchuan endured the fatigue deep in his soul and checked his panel again.

[Armed color domineering: proficiency 93%]

[Seeing and hearing domineering: proficiency 60%]

[Shunpo: Proficiency 70%] [Zanpakuto (Scourge): Proficiency 79%]

[Shasha Fruit Ability: Proficiency 59%]

After the battle with Jiraiya, Fukawa gained a full [-] reputation points at that time.

However, after that battle, Fushikawa discovered that once there were ninjas at the elite Jonin level or above among his opponents, the effect of Haki would be greatly reduced.

Moreover, he relies too much on the fighting method of Taijutsu, and is obviously a little weak in the face of all kinds of strange Ninjutsu and blood inheritance.

Therefore, the next direction of progress mainly lies in the mastery of the Zanpakuto Swastika and the development of the Shasha Fruit.

Considering that the Swastika can be mastered through fighting the Heavenly Scourge, all these precious reputation points were added to the Shasha Fruit.

I thought that such a number of reputation points could directly increase Devil Fruit proficiency to over 90, but in the end it only barely improved to over 50, failing to even pass the exam.
But the improvement in strength is indeed real.

"Are you okay? Why do you look so bad?"

Yura's concerned voice came, and Fukawa finally escaped from the depths of consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

"It's okay." Fuchuan's face looked a little pale, "It's just a reaction after normal practice. I'm just a little tired."

"It seems that any power has a price," Yura said with emotion, handing over a cup of hot tea.

After taking the hot tea and drinking it in one gulp, Fuchuan let out a long breath.

"What's wrong?" Fuchuan asked curiously, "As a caravan owner, aren't you busy patrolling and handling caravan affairs at night?"

"You still have the nerve to say that you were talking about a partnership at the beginning, but now I am busy alone," Yura muttered in a low voice, "If I remember correctly, I should be able to arrive at Sunagakure Village tomorrow night."

Has it finally arrived?
With his former home so close in front of him, Fuchuan felt a little hesitant at this moment.

In order to ensure control over the ninja troops during the war, the ninja village usually registers the ninjas who go out to fight.

Anyone who does not return to the team for more than three months and fails to report to the communication squad of his unit will be treated as killed in action.

However, if you are not killed in action and have not actively contacted the unit headquarters for such a long time, you will be treated as a defector.

Fushikawa's unit encountered a double attack from the Rain Ninja and the Konoha Ninja. The entire third combat unit was almost completely wiped out, and there were only a few survivors. Later, due to the Rain Country's betrayal of Sunagakure Village, a strong blockade was implemented on the border.
Fushikawa estimated that as soon as he reported his unit number, he would be immediately executed as a traitor by the Sunagakure ANBU ninja.

But what Fushikawa actually didn't know was that due to the special situation faced by the third combat unit, Chiyo deliberately canceled the time limit for returning to the unit and changed it to a policy that as long as he returned to the unit and confirmed his affiliation, he would not be held accountable.
"What are your plans next?" Seeing Fu Chuan's hesitation, Youliang thought quickly and knew that he was in trouble. "Why don't you just become a commoner with me? If you are so powerful, we can set up a big caravan. Wouldn't it be better to earn enough money to be two happy and happy rich men?"

To be honest, Fukawa had not considered Yura's suggestion, but he was still worried about it at the moment.

If he guessed correctly, his sister should be the Burning Escaper Ye Cang. After making great contributions to the village, she was sacrificed in vain due to the exchange of political interests between big countries.

His friend Yahiko will be killed in a few years.

As a result, Konan and Nagato will turn black and become the opposite of the ninja world, and eventually kill their mentor Jiraiya.

If he had the ability he has now at the beginning of time travel, Fuchuan would have taken his sister away to live a happy and free life.

But now, as a close friend, relative, and teacher, Fuchuan no longer lives just for himself.

He longed for power more than ever before, and he wanted to change the sad ending that had been set.

"Thank you, maybe one day I will consider your suggestion." The flickering candlelight made Fuchuan's face flicker, "You don't have to worry about me tomorrow, just enter the village normally."

　I’m testing the waters today, and more exciting stories will be presented to you next. Thank you again for your tolerance and support for this book.
