She had tried her best to control her strength; hopefully, the person wasn't dead.

Boom!!

The border junction between the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Fire.

Sakumo Hatake fell from the sky, crashing hard onto the ground and creating a crater.

"Cough, cough!!"

At this moment, Sakumo Hatake looked extremely disheveled, spitting out blood frantically.

He felt as if his internal organs were churning, and his body was in intense pain.

Even breathing became incredibly difficult; he couldn't even move a muscle.

He recalled inadvertently seeing the 'Two' on the woman's back before he was kicked away, and he couldn't help but bitterly smile, "Is this the strength of the Captain of the 2nd Division?"

She didn't even use her Ninja Blade!

If all Gotei 13 possessed such strength, then it would truly make one lose all will to resist... However, what Sakumo Hatake didn't realize was that Soi Fon's Zanpakuto Shikai was completely useless to her.

The condition for a second kill meant she never had the opportunity to use her Zanpakuto.

After all, those she could kill didn't need a second strike, and those she couldn't kill wouldn't allow a second attack.

In her Shunkō state, she was already in her strongest form.

"...Captain Hatake?"

"It really is Captain Hatake!"

The Anbu captain, whom Sakumo Hatake had assigned to be stationed at the border of the Land of Whirlpools, heard the commotion and came to investigate, but he didn't expect to find Captain Hatake lying in a pit, covered in blood.

His disheveled appearance made them almost unable to recognize him.

After all, Sakumo Hatake was Konoha's Genius Ninja!

At only twenty years old, he had ascended to the position of Anbu Captain-Commander!

Even the Lord Third Hokage's three disciples had their light overshadowed by him.

Yet, such an astonishingly talented individual seemed to have suffered a terrifying attack, looking on the verge of death.

How could this not shock them?

Who could have injured Captain Hatake so severely?

"Cough, cough! First, get me out of here..."

Seeing his subordinates frozen in place, Sakumo Hatake had to use his last ounce of strength to remind them.

"Ah? Oh, oh!"

The Anbu members finally reacted.

Land of Whirlpools, Rukongai.

After Uzumaki Chihiro sensed Soi Fon's appearance, he asked, "Was the person safely sent away?"

"...Yes, Lord Soul King."

Soi Fon hesitated; she had deliberately kicked him in the direction of his companions, so he should be quite safe, right?

...Please give flowers! Please give rating tickets!

Chapter 19: prestige value Skyrockets, Senkaimon Unlocked

Soi Fon had already detected Sakumo Hatake when he entered the Land of Whirlpools.

Uzumaki Chihiro was not surprised by Sakumo Hatake's appearance.

With such a huge commotion in the Hidden Mist Village, how could Konoha not send someone over?

However, Uzumaki Chihiro did not let Soi Fon kill him.

Instead, he allowed him to comfortably act as a war correspondent, recording all the intelligence about this battle.

Uzumaki Chihiro even kindly had Soi Fon give him a ride, fearing that the situation here might not be conveyed back to Konoha.

He wanted him to give Konoha a small shock and earn a wave of prestige value.

After this battle, Uzumaki Chihiro had almost moved from poverty to prosperity.

Uzumaki Chihiro opened the System panel.

【Unlocked Troop Card Pool: Bleach series】

【Unlocked Building: Rukongai】

【prestige value: 127765】

The prestige value once again broke the 100,000 mark and was still skyrocketing!

Uzumaki Chihiro temporarily did not spend these prestige points.

The news of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's defeat in the Land of Whirlpools had not yet spread.

Once the Mist ninja returned to the Hidden Mist Village, the prestige value would surge again, plus there was Sakumo Hatake's contribution.

Uzumaki Chihiro decided to wait for the situation to ferment before spending all the prestige value!

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing Main Quest Stage Two. Building 'Senkaimon' has been unlocked!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the quest: Hidden Mist Invasion. Building 'Seireitei' has been unlocked!"

Oh right, there were quests!

Only after the System's reminder did Uzumaki Chihiro remember that Main Quest Two had been completed.

As for 'Hidden Mist Invasion,' it was a quest triggered when the Mist ninja were about to land in the Land of Whirlpools.

Uzumaki Chihiro opened the map of the Land of Whirlpools provided by the System, and two waiting-to-be-placed phantom images appeared on it.

Uzumaki Chihiro first placed the Seireitei in the very center of the Land of Whirlpools, with Rukongai connecting to its outer perimeter.

However, the two were separated by the Seireitei's massive wall.

The wall was constructed from Spirit-isolating Sakkiseki.

Preventing the souls of Rukongai from passing through the wall and entering the Seireitei.

The Seireitei did not possess special effects like Rukongai but did have some basic buildings.

For example, the Gotei 13 Headquarters, the 13th Division barracks, the Research and Development Institute, etc.

Moreover, the environment within was beautiful, a place where Shinigami and some nobles resided.

However, important buildings like the Shino Academy were missing. Uzumaki Chihiro guessed that such important buildings might require separate unlocking.

Next, Uzumaki Chihiro placed the Senkaimon within the Seireitei.

【Senkaimon: Set coordinates, enter the gate, and you can travel to any location in the Shinobi World.】

This effect made Uzumaki Chihiro's eyes light up.

Originally, the Senkaimon was a gate connecting the Soul Society and the Living World.

He didn't expect it to be modified by the System into a spatial gate.

This was quite good; in the future, if any Ninja village annoyed him, he could just open the gate and release Shinigami!

Launch a blitzkrieg and catch them off guard!

As for the coordinates, they were on the map provided by the System; he just needed to set them according to the map for wherever he wanted to go.

With the Seireitei and Senkaimon in place.

The Land of Whirlpools was now vastly different from before.

What was once a dilapidated ruin had now transformed into a bustling metropolis with prosperous architecture.
