[ Weekly Mini-Game ]
[ Welcome to your weekly challenge. ]
[ The weekly mini-game consists of surviving a horde of enemies attacking you for 30 minutes, they are infinite, but defeating a large number will increase the delay of new enemies appearing, don't let them accumulate ]
[ The longer you survive, the higher your Survival Points (SP) will be. ]
(SP) will be converted into Super Coins (SC), which are special coins used to purchase Senjutsus, Doujutsus and Kekkei Genkais. Other forms and special attributes will be unlocked as you progress. ]
[ At the end of the mini-game, after completing the 30-minute survival time, you will be given the opportunity to fight in some iconic Naruto battles, such as Pain's battle to protect Konoha, Zabusa in the classic Naruto mission, Danzou at the Samurai Bridge, Sasori at the Akatsuki Hideout, and others. The enemy's combat level will be the same as yours, so don't expect to fight Madara Jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails on your first try ! ]

[ Do you want to try it for the first time? ]
[ Yes ] [ No ]
------
The weekly mini-game had become an almost central part of the reincarnation system. I was overwhelmed by the possibility of receiving equipment from other universes and I excitedly wondered what this equipment might be.
Inspired by my motivation, I clicked [ Yes ], and the system suddenly put me to sleep by putting me into a lucid dream.
------
[ Rest assured, this is a dream, be careful because if you don't survive the 30 minutes, you will lose -7% affinity from a random chakra type, -7 points from a random stat, and -7% from a random jutsu. ]
[ Your first attempt at the journey will be shielded, so even if you lose, you will lose nothing, but don't expect the same luck for your next attempts. ]
------
As these messages are read to me, I realize that I'm on the battlefield in Amegakure.
*Prummm
In the distance, lightning struck, drowning out the gradual sound of rain that filled the ears of everyone on the battlefield.
I saw five Gennin standing in front of me, staring with bloodthirsty eyes.
------
[ Let the battle begin, GO! ]
------
Before the battle began, I could see a count of the time I had survived on my right forearm, along with a mark on my wrist that said 'surrender', i didn't really know how it worked, so I didn't care, especially since I was in a shielded attempt that wouldn't hurt me in any way.
As soon as the announcer announced the enemy of the mini-game, the five Gennins came at me at the same time.
I decided not to save any resources since I didn't really know what I was up against, and executed the following.
"Raiton: Gian (Lightning Bolt)"
I shot a bolt of lightning from my mouth at one of the advancing enemy Gennins.
*Prummm
As the lightning bolt was extremely fast, the 2 gennins hit were unable to react in time, causing them to be eliminated.
I couldn't perform this jutsu in 5 minutes, so I had to be careful not to run out at a vulnerable moment.
"The system said not to let them accumulate... I won't try my luck" I thought.
Seeing the 3 remaining Gennins approaching me at high speed, I ran diagonally to the right and threw 3 kunai with explosive seals in front of them.
*BOOM
When the 3 saw the seals, they jumped and scattered, losing their formation. That's when I used the gap they created to create shadow clones to fight as equals.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu"
*Puff
I created two clones and the three of us went up to each of the enemies and easily defeated them one by one.
*Puff
After the clones were destroyed, with the principle of not wasting chakra, I stayed calm in the middle of the mini-game, just waiting for more information or enemies.
5 minutes into the mini-game, 7 new ninjas were born, all still Genin, but with more agility, strength and weapons.
4 of them used katanas and 3 of them used kunais.
I swung my kunai and took the opportunity to surprise them with my jutsu.
"Raiton: Gian (Lightning Bolt)".
*Prummm
Firing an extremely fast beam at 2 enemies, which was the maximum number of targets I could hit at once with this jutsu, only one was defeated, leaving 6 ninjas.
"Interesting... now that they've increased their status, they've also increased their strategic capacity, only 1 took my blow... let's see what they're capable of" I thought.
2 ninjas on the far left and right of their formation ran towards me to surround me. Preparing myself for this formation attack, I created 2 simple shurikens with Summoning Jutsu and threw them backwards at the 4 enemies still standing guard.
The ninjas use their katanas to block the shurikens, but before they can withstand the impact, the 2 shurikens transform into 2 shadow clones and hit them with full force.
*TUSH TUSH
The 2 are caught off guard and hit hard, causing the ninjas who had opened the formation to surround me to look back at the situation that has happened to their companions.
Taking advantage of the distraction of the two, and without the ability to create another shadow clone, I ran towards the enemy on the right who was a little closer and hit him with a kick to the chest, knocking him away.
As I hit the ninja, I noticed that a life bar appeared above him, indicating that my blow had taken half of his life. Taking advantage of the fact that he was still in the knockback of my kick, I threw three shurikens, hitting him square in the chest without giving him a chance to defend himself.
*Ploft
The ninja's body falls to the ground in a pool of blood.
*Plack plack plack PLACK PLACK
I hear footsteps approaching quickly behind me.
*TCHIMM
I turn to see a katana coming at me, a blow that would probably make me lose everything on the spot.
With the enemy's blow aimed at my chest, I jumped as high as I could, about my own height vertically, spreading my legs so that the sword would pass through without hitting me, managing to dodge the blow and above the enemy's attack, still on my back, I stepped on his, pinning him to the ground and making him lose his fighting composure.
As he slams his sword into the ground, the ninja, holding his sword awkwardly, is pulled towards me, opening his guard wide and exposing his face, which I take advantage of to plant my kunai into his right eye.
*TCHLANK
"AHHHHHHHH!"
The ninja screams in pain from the critical hit, though he hadn't said a word before.
A pop-up appears in the corner of my vision.
------
[ Critical Strike 3x ]
------
As soon as the Ninja takes the blow, he falls to the ground in agony until he breathes his last.
------
[ Tip: Make good use of everything on the battlefield, your only strategic limitation is your creativity. ]
------
Observing and reading the tip, I take both katanas from the defeated ninjas.
Observing the 4 ninjas still in position, I saw my clones in a complicated situation, because they were facing 4 ninjas, they had lost their numerical advantage, when I observed them, they were already defeated.
One of my clones was speared in the back, while the other, who was being held by one of the ninjas, received a diagonal cut in the chest that made him disappear almost at the same time.
*Puff
*Puff
Looking at the inside of my forearm, around the wrist, I saw the counter showing 08:32 minutes, apparently the enemies were appearing every 5 minutes, stronger and with more advantages...
I've had only 1:28 minutes to defeat all 4.
