Chapter 239: Ice Style: Sode no Shirayuki
Kaito, who left his tent, was like a heartless scumbag. He immediately forgot about Kabuto and started thinking about the lottery.
In fact, during the nearly one month that he was away, the second year's 'Limited Time Activity Pool for Important Items' was triggered again.
The system also thoughtfully included last year's ten consecutive draws in the guaranteed amount of this prize pool.
However, having learned from the previous experience, Kaito ignored the "Important Item Pool" and still chose to put the gold coins into the 'Ice Attribute Prize Pool'.
Although most of the time is spent on the road, the system is still very user-friendly and provides tasks that can be completed on the same day, such as "running 10 kilometers", "killing 5 bugs", and "digging a 3x3x3 pit".
Kaito also thought that the probability of gold in the 'Ice Attribute Prize Pool' that he had calculated was as much as one in four, and maybe a gold prize would appear in the ten consecutive draws this time.
The result was both unexpected and not unexpected, as only a purple item was dropped this time.
[TM: Ice Style: Ice Punch] (Purple item: Ice Style Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu. After performing the ninjutsu, a large amount of Ice-attributed chakra filled with freezing cold air will condense on the fist. After the ice punch hits the enemy, while causing freezing damage to the enemy, the enemy will also be corroded by the cold air and fall into a frozen state. After multiple hits, the enemy will be completely frozen.)
Kaito could only comfort himself.
'A one in four chance of getting a gold doesn't mean I will definitely get a gold after four consecutive draws. If it didn't come out this time, I am just adding to my luck. Maybe I will get a double yolk next time I draw ten times?'
Fortunately, Kaito was quite satisfied with the ninjutsu "Ice Punch".
Although he is not very good at using his fists to hit others in a fight, it would be better for him to just attack the enemy with a sword.
But as the system described, 'Ice Punch' is an unclassified ninjutsu, yes, a ninjutsu.
The knowledge instilled by the system does not include physical techniques such as how to punch and how to exert force. It only includes knowledge such as how to quickly spread the cold air throughout the fist and how to inject the cold air into the enemy's body through contact. Therefore, it is classified as ninjutsu.
This move is actually similar to the rubbish Ice Style ninjutsu 'Ice Style: Cold Touch' that Kaito originally developed in order to open the 'Ice Attribute Prize Pool'.
But it is much better than others in all aspects. However, because Kaito had some ideas about the 'Cold Touch' that he developed before, he never gave up and continued to improve it.
This time, with the infusion of relevant knowledge, Kaito successfully transformed it into a new unmatched ninjutsu that could inflict freezing damage to weapons in just two days.
As for this new ninjutsu, it was named 'Ice Style: Sode no Shirayuki' by Kaito. (Sode no Shirayuki means Sleeved White Snow)
However, even though Kaito's Ice Style skill library has been enriched a lot, with long-range, melee, auxiliary, and recovery skills already very complete, Kaito is still prepared to continue to delve into the ice attribute prize pool and strive to produce two gold items before considering stopping.
Just as Kaito was thinking this, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look, but he didn't find anyone suspicious.
"Jonin Kaito, what's going on?"
A patrolling ninja passing by saw Kaito looking around vigilantly, and walked up to him and asked with concern.
"Yeah, nothing much. Maybe I was a little nervous during the missions I've been on lately."
Kaito laughed, waved his hand with a smile, and continued walking out of the camp.
However, at this moment he did not relax his vigilance in his mind, and quickly recalled the feeling just now.
Just now, Kaito was very clear that he was not being "oversensitive".
Of course, it didn't trigger the warning from 'Anticipation'.
After all, even though the alert level in the front-line camp is not high now, there are not many people who are bold enough to attack him in the camp.
But Kaito did feel a strong sense of malice just now.
Kaito has never believed that he has any talent for sensing ninjas. He is often so absorbed in his thoughts that he doesn't even notice people approaching him quietly.
If it weren't for the magical skill of 'Anticipation', Kaito himself wouldn't know how many times he would have died.
However, the malice just now did not trigger the 'Anticipation', which means it would not cause harm to him immediately, but Kaito, an idiot in perception, could clearly feel it, which shows how strong this malice is.
'Have I offended anyone recently? Or is there an outside spy in the camp?'
Kaito couldn't figure it out for the time being, but since he had already determined that it was not his illusion, he could only be more vigilant to avoid being tricked when he was not careful.
Thinking of this, Kaito quickened his pace and quickly left the front-line camp.
Not far from the camp gate, after finding a hidden location, Kaito immediately returned to the "secret space" to change clothes.
Not long after Kaito left.
Just now, Kaito sensed the malicious intent in a tent nearby.
The two dark shadows pushed open the tent door curtain again and looked gloomily in the direction where Kaito left.
"I told you before, that guy has a keen sense, don't set your sights on him."
"I'm sorry, Patriarch."
"It doesn't matter. Although that guy came back a few days earlier this time, the time he left the camp has not changed. The next step is his death!"
The light and shadows flickered and turned, and the person who was speaking revealed his true face.
It was Yuki Hiro, the patriarch of the Yuki Clan.
Originally, the Yuki Clan had a lot of conflicts with Team Ao because of the smuggling incident.
Later, after investigation, it was confirmed that Yuki Yama, a senior ninja of the Yuki Clan, died at the hands of Kaito and others.
However, due to the war, the Yuki Clan never found an opportunity to retaliate against them.
Later on, whether it was Ao, Kaito, or Kisame who participated in killing Yuki Yama, their improvements were too rapid. In just less than two years, they all reached a high position in the Kirigakure Village, and their strength increased day by day.
The Yuki Clan has already given up the idea of becoming an enemy. After all, as a ninja family, it is impossible for them to bear greater losses for an established fact without sufficient benefits.
However, some time ago, the ninjas of the Yuki Clan accidentally learned that Kaito had developed his own bloodline limit at such a young age.
This was not a big deal in itself, as a new bloodline family in the village would not threaten the status of the Yuki Clan.
But what should never have happened was that the bloodline limit awakened by Kaito was the same "Ice Style" as the Yuki Clan.
At this point, this is no longer a simple personal conflict. Kaito's existence has threatened the foundation of the Yuki Clan.
Unless Kaito is willing to marry into the Yuki Clan, the Yuki Clan must get rid of this new "Ice Style" ninja.
Yuki Hiro looked calmly at the place where Kaito had stood before, and muttered to himself in a gloomy tone.
"What a pity. You are already mature enough. It is impossible for you to choose to marry into the family."
"Then you can only die."
