Refining Shinigami Mask (Part 2)

The more powerful a move was, the greater the price. This was the rule of the Naruto world.

Zhang Miao also knew this, so he only paused for a moment before coming back to his senses and nodding his head.

In the original work, using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal cost the user their life, and the beads and blade are divine artifacts. It was normal that it needed to consume 7-star fragments!

Of course, understanding the rule was one thing, but the thought of using them stressed Zhang Miao. After all, 7-star fragments are very precious.

As if sensing Zhang Miao's thoughts, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.

"[In fact, Your Holiness does not need to worry. As long as you refine all 29 Shinigami Masks in this world and recruit the Death God himself, you will be able to use the divine artifacts freel!"

Zhang Miao: ""... "

"Is refining 29 Death masks easy? That requires nearly 50,000 7-star Ninja Fragments. This is not a small number!"

Most importantly, although Zhang Miao had collected a lot of 7-star Ninja Fragments and had basically recruited the all the corresponding Ninja, these extra Ninja Fragments were also useful - for example, for extracting the out-of-print Ninja Fragments!

It was precisely because of this reason that Zhang Miao could only sigh helplessly.

"Sigh... I can't rush the refinement for now. I can only take it slowly. System, help me take out Gaara's Ninja Fragments first!"

He already recruited Gaara using those fragments, and the out-of-print Karura also had been recruited via the lottery. Therefore, Zhang Miao decided to use Gaara's Ninja Fragments to refine the Mask.

Following Zhang Miao's command, the system immediately took out Gaara's Ninja Fragments.

Looking at the Ninja Fragments in front of him, Zhang Miao took a deep breath and then put his finger into his mouth to bite.

"Creak!"

With a light sound, the blood on Zhang Miao's finger flowed down along the Shinigami Mask and dripped onto Gaara's Ninja Fragment below.

When Zhang Miao's blood touched a Ninja Fragment, it immediately released a seven-colored light, and then it turned into a light dot and dissipated.

At the same time, the system notification rang out in Zhang Miao's mind once again.

"[Ding! Congratulations to Your Holiness for successfully refining Gaara's 7-star Ninja Fragements. The refining progress has increased. Current progress is 1/1600.]"

After hearing the system notification, Zhang Miao was first stunned, then he grinned.

"Haha, looks like it's quite simple. Then let's continue!"

As he spoke, Zhang Miao began to press down on his finger, causing his blood to drip onto the Ninja Fragment in front of him.

As Zhang Miao's blood continued to drip down, the Ninja Fragment in front of him also turned into seven-colored light and dissipated. At the same time, the refining speed of the Death Mask also increased rapidly.

The refining of the Death Mask went very smoothly. The only thing that made Zhang Miao a little helpless was that his self-healing speed was too fast. He usually only squeezed out a dozen drops of blood and the wound had already healed. Without a choice, he could only bite his finger repeatedly.

As the saying goes, "Ten fingers linked to the heart". It was not easy to put a finger into the mouth and bite it, and ordinary people could not stand it at all, let alone keep biting it.

However, Zhang Miao had no choice. In order to refine the mask, even though he was already grimacing in pain, he still put his finger into his mouth again and again, biting it until it made a creaking sound.

Under Zhang Miao's insistence, the Ninja Fragments in front of him became fewer and fewer, and the refining speed of the mask became higher and higher.

Finally, when Zhang Miao bit his finger for who knows how many times, the notification about the refining process finally sounded.

"[Ding! Shinigami Mask #3 has been refined. His Holiness can now freely use the Soul Blade and Soul Bead Bracelet. The time limit is 160 seconds!]"

Zhang Miao: "... "

"F*ck, only a fool would use it!"

When he was refining the Shinigami's Mask, Zhang Miao felt that the number of times he bit his finger was at least 90. He was hurting to the point of wanting to die. But now, he could only exchange it for 160 seconds of use time. He would not accept such a loss!

Thinking of this, he immediately spoke to the system.

"Without using the blade and the bracelet, release Minato's soul and store the refined Shinigami Mask in the system space!"

"[Yes, Your Holiness!]"

As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system immediately agreed, and the Mask also fell off his face.

The moment the Mask was removed, Zhang Miao's hair turned blood red again, and the white robe on his body disappeared. His clothes returned to the short-sleeved shirt and breeches from before.

Along with the robe, there was also the Soul Blade and Soul Bead Bracelet in his hand.

When Zhang Miao returned to his original state, the Shinigami Mask that fell off his face also changed a little.

The originally closed mouth on the mask suddenly opened at this time, and a ball of green light was spat out.

Seeing this green light, Zhang Miao's eyes widened.

"Is this... Minato's soul?" Thinking of this, Zhang Miao quickly ordered the system, "System, quickly take out Minato's body!"

"[Yes, Your Holiness!]"

As soon as Zhang Miao gave the order, the system immediately agreed, and then took out Minato's body from the system space.

Zhang Miao had tried to revive Minato once, but he failed because his soul was sealed. But this time, he was confident that he would succeed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao immediately pressed his hands on Minato's body and shouted.

"One's Own Life Reincarnation!"

As Zhang Miao said this, his hands immediately emitted a green light. After these lights appeared, Minato's soul began to shine while floating in the air.

Under the influence of the green light, the floating light seemed to be guided by something, and it began to slowly fall down on Minato, and then slowly sinking into his chest.

After about five or six minutes, the green light in Zhang Miao's hand disappeared, and the green light completely sank into Minato's chest.

At the same time, the system's prompt once again sounded in Zhang Miao's mind.

"[Ding! 3200 ordinary ninja fragments have been consumed. The resurrection process has been completed. Minato has regained his life! ]"

After hearing this prompt, Zhang Miao clenched his fist, his face showing a look of excitement.

"It's done!"

As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Minato, who was lying in front of him, slowly opened his eyes and smiled at him.

"Finally... We meet again, Ryunosuke!"
