"The Twelve Divine Maidens Quest?"
Xuan silently opened the System interface in his mind. At the very top, under the Main Quest tab, it read:
[Main Quest: Become the Ultimate Final Boss of this world and unify the globe! Reward: Absolute Ownership of the Naruto World! Time Limit: Until the plot concludes. Penalty for Failure: Obliteration!]
Below that, a line of slightly smaller text had appeared.
[Side Quest: Establish the Twelve Divine Maidens. Quest Item Unlocked: Divine Maiden Contracts. Time Limit: Same as the Main Quest. Penalty for Failure: Obliteration!]
Beside the quest description sat a stack of virtual parchment. Xuan counted them silently exactly twelve sheets.
"Are these the so-called Divine Maiden Contracts? How do I take them out?"
Following his thought, Xuan felt a sudden weight in his hand. A physical stack of papers materialized in his grasp. They felt soft to the touch, and while they looked like ordinary parchment, they possessed an unnatural, durable resilience.
Bringing them closer to the light, he noticed they were covered in tadpole-like script, somewhat similar to the sealing formulas he used for the Flying Raijin Jutsu. He couldn't read the characters, yet their meaning transmitted directly into his mind.
This contract is an ultra-high-tier master-servant binding, exclusively applicable to females. Once a female signs her name at the bottom of the contract, she automatically becomes the absolute property of the Contract Master. The Master can command her to do anything, but the contract does not alter her original mind or personality.
For example If a person deeply resents the Contract Master before signing, they will continue to resent him afterward. However, they will be physically unable to disobey his commands or take any action that would harm him.
Additional Note The contract only takes effect if the female signs it entirely voluntarily. The Host is advised to use them wisely.
"Now this is a good item," Xuan muttered.
Reading the description, an unbearable itch rose in his heart. If he could get canon characters like Tsunade, Mei Terumi, or Hinata to sign these the sheer beauty of that scenario was too incredible to even imagine.
"The only flaw is that they have to sign it voluntarily. What kind of woman would willingly volunteer to become a slave? That makes things a bit troublesome."
Pondering the logistics, Xuan carefully put the contracts away. He frowned, a sudden realization hitting him. Carrying these around physically is way too risky. If they get incinerated by a stray Fire Style jutsu during a fight, I'm screwed. Speaking of which, the Flying Raijin Jutsu requires me to carry a massive amount of custom kunai. I have two small sealing scrolls strapped to my wrists, but their capacity is limited they only hold about a hundred kunai total. If I actually go to the battlefield in the future, that definitely won't be enough.
And carrying the Amanokumo sword around by hand every day is annoying too. If only I had an exclusive spatial inventory. In the original story, the only person with a built-in pocket dimension was Obito with his Kamui's intangibility. I have enough points right now, but since I already have the Flying Raijin, I don't urgently need intangibility.
Thinking it over, he asked internally, "System, do you have anything like a spatial bag or inventory?"
After a brief silence, the System's emotionless voice echoed:
[Mangekyō Sharingan Visual Prowess Intangibility Right Eye Kamui Includes a personal pocket dimension Rank S Cost 10,000 Points Prerequisite Mangekyō Sharingan Detected that the Host only possesses a fully matured Three Tomoe Sharingan Host may forcibly redeem this ability for an additional 5,000 Points Sufficient points detected Confirm redemption?]
Hell no Xuan immediately screamed in his mind. Are you kidding me I busted my ass hunting down two Jōnin just to scrape together 10,000 points. If I blow it all on intangibility right now, I'll cry until I pass out.
"Aside from the Mangekyō's dimension, isn't there any other portable spatial storage?" Xuan asked, still unwilling to give up. Having a spatial inventory would make life infinitely more convenient.
[Scanning Host Ding Detected the Host possesses the Flying Raijin Jutsu Host may spend 5,000 Points to carve out a portable spatial pocket using the Jutsu's formula The size of the space scales with the Host's overall strength]
Profiteering bastard Xuan cursed.
Hearing the 5,000 point price tag, his heart bled. That was the equivalent of killing an entire Jōnin Still thinking about the sheer convenience of a personal inventory, he gritted his teeth. "Open the spatial pocket."
The System fell silent. A moment later, a strange warm current distinct from the feeling of learning a Ninjutsu flowed through his body. Xuan noticed his balance drop by 5,000 points. Simultaneously, he developed a bizarre, innate connection to the space directly beside him.
With a single thought, a rift in space silently tore open next to him. Xuan peered inside. The pocket dimension was roughly three square meters in size. It was a vacuum with no air, and time seemed completely frozen within it, meaning he couldn't store living creatures.
"Not bad," Xuan nodded. He tossed the Divine Maiden Contracts inside. With another thought, the contracts instantly reappeared in his hand. It was incredibly convenient.
After dumping his excess kunai, shuriken, and paper bombs into the void, he closed the spatial rift.
"Alright. Now it's finally time to redeem a Mangekyō Sharingan ability. I risked my neck hunting that Blood Ninja specifically for this moment."
In the original story, the unique visual abilities granted by the Mangekyō Sharingan were absolutely heaven defying. Mastering even one provided a qualitative monstrous leap in combat power.
Xuan mentally navigated to the System's Ninjutsu redemption interface and opened the Mangekyō Sharingan tab.
[Amaterasu Tsukuyomi Blaze Release Kagutsuchi Kotoamatsukami Intangibility Right Kamui Kamui Left Eye]
Staring at the list of legendary visual prowess, Xuan's eyes burned with greed. I want all of them But I only have enough points for one This is agonizing.
Conflicting thoughts clashed violently in his mind. Should I just grab Amaterasu and agree to follow Madara to the battlefield Sure Amaterasu's track record in the original story was kind of garbage against top tiers, but it's an absolute god tier move for clearing out fodder. I could just stand on the battlefield, glare at people, and instantly rack up points.
After mulling it over, he tossed the idea aside. Forget it Amaterasu just isn't decisive enough. Strong opponents can easily shed the black flames using the Substitution Jutsu or chakra cloaks. I'll save it for later.
Tsukuyomi is out too. It requires direct close range eye contact to cast. With my current physical stats, trying to pull that off against a seasoned veteran is way too risky.
Blaze Release Kagutsuchi Don't make me laugh I don't even have Amaterasu yet. Buying shape manipulation for flames I can't even produce is literally just throwing points into a fire Eliminated.
Kotoamatsukami
Seeing that name, Xuan's breathing hitched. Kotoamatsukami the absolute strongest Genjutsu in the original story. It allowed the user to unconditionally overwrite a target's will and implant any command, even turning them into a loyal slave without them ever realizing they were being manipulated. It was a completely unreasonable logic defying Jutsu.
For a moment, Xuan had the overwhelming urge to throw caution to the wind and instantly redeem it.
But he managed to restrain himself. The effects of Kotoamatsukami looked beautiful on paper, but it had a glaring fatal flaw. Putting everything else aside, its agonizing ten year cooldown basically made it a single use consumable.
Furthermore, it was still a Genjutsu that required direct eye contact to establish the initial link. Xuan vividly imagined a scenario where he bought Kotoamatsukami and tried to hypnotize Tajima.
Kage level powerhouses like Tajima possessed terrifying instinctual danger perception forged through decades of brutal warfare. If Xuan carelessly approached him and leaked even a fraction of manipulative chakra, Tajima's first reaction would likely be to decapitate him with a lightning fast sword strike. Even if Xuan managed to escape using the Flying Raijin or a Shadow Clone, he would be forced to live life on the run with the entire Uchiha clan hunting him.
Imagining that nightmare scenario, Xuan violently shook his head. Truthfully, my baseline strength is just too low. Trying to mind control a Kage level monster is something I should save for later. Besides, farming 15,000 points isn't impossibly hard.
As for Obito's Intangibility I already have the Flying Raijin, so it's not an urgent necessity Eliminated.
That leaves Kakashi's offensive Kamui.
Right now, Xuan severely lacked a highly lethal long range offensive method. The Rasengan's threat level dropped drastically against Elite Jōnin and above. Kamui's spatial severing ability perfectly filled that gap. Furthermore, in the Warring States Era, spatial Ninjutsu was practically unheard of no one would have any defense prepared against it. If he used it as a sudden trump card, it could easily assassinate a Peak Jōnin, and perhaps even threaten a Kage level combatant.
"System, redeem Kamui."
[Kamui Mangekyō Sharingan Visual Prowess Rank S Cost 10,000 Points Prerequisite Mangekyō Sharingan Detected that the Host possesses a fully matured Three Tomoe Sharingan Host may forcibly redeem this ability for an additional 5,000 Points Sufficient points detected Confirm redemption?]
"Confirm!"
The moment Xuan watched his point balance drop to an absolute zero, a searing current of heat surged directly into his left eye. An intense fiery pain bloomed within his socket, lingering for a long time before gradually fading away.
Xuan opened his eyes. The three tomoe spinning in his left eye looked even more demonic and enchanting than before.
A fierce grin stretched across his face. He was likely the first shinobi in history capable of unleashing a Mangekyō Sharingan ability using only a three tomoe eye.
