บท 217: Frozen Throne

After leaving Itachi and Gekkou Hayate, Aoba was directly summoned to the headquarters and met Nara Shikaku again.

Although Shikaku had already asked Itachi and Gekkou Hayate about the specific situation, he still wanted to hear the other party's opinion.

Therefore, Aoba carefully narrated the entire process and emphasized his doubts.

"Are you saying that we have a spy for Kumogakure?" Shikaku asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, but it is just my speculation. Otherwise, it is too much of a coincidence. Our mission should be confidential, right?"

Aoba did not directly throw the blame on Danzo. Instead, he used a vague and false statement that could make Shikaku pay more attention to force out that bastard!

Shikaku analyzed it seriously and found it was indeed, as Aoba had said. This matter was a little strange.

Although he did not want to suspect his own people, Shikaku still decided to be just in case.

"I'll deal with this matter. Don't tell anyone else. Go back and recuperate first."

Aoba knew that Shikaku would investigate deeply soon. There would definitely be a time when he needed his cooperation. At that time, he would be able to find this bastard, so he left quietly.

After he went out, Shikaku started to think about the people who knew about this incident one by one.

After lining up the people who could not betray Konoha, Shikaku immediately locked his eyes on the people who received the mission.

Only they were the most suspicious!

After a flash of his eyes, Shikaku directly called Yamanaka Inoichi over and discussed how to find this 'spy'.

.........

On the other side, after Aoba returned to his tent, he immediately began to check the Gold-level Suicide Mission's reward this time!

Speaking of which, this was already the third Gold-level Suicide Mission that he had completed. The rewards given by the two gold treasure chests in front of him were very worthy of the danger of completing the mission and the subsequent effects of the crazy death.

[Schrodinger's Zanpakuto] had already become one of his trump cards. Although he could not use it frequently, he would occasionally be able to achieve good results with one use. It was just that Zanpakuto, who was randomly chosen, was somewhat unsightly.

As for [Civet Cat Prince], although he was only a pure support type pet, he had repeatedly helped him escape danger. Every ability was extremely practical. In terms of importance, it was even more important than Zanpakuto. After all, only by being alive could he deal damage. There was no more important ability than saving his life.

Therefore, this also made Aoba look forward to what kind of reward the gold treasure chest could give this time.

[Successfully opened the gold treasure chest. You have obtained the relic - Frozen Throne. ]

Aoba was immediately shocked!

Frozen Throne?

Could it be the Frozen Throne that he knew about?

He immediately began to look at it impatiently and found that this Frozen Throne was obviously an item that had been modified by the dog system. However, it was still worthy of this name!

[Relic], Frozen Throne

[ability 1: ] Soul Sucking. The life you kill with your own hands will be absorbed into the throne, turned into an undead, and retain 50% of your strength when you were alive.

Limit: 1000

[ability 2: ] Undead Disaster. When you ascend the throne, you can release and simply control the undead trapped inside the throne to fight for you on the battlefield.

[Time Effect: 1 hour]

[Cooldown: 7 days]

[Note: Undead have a physical body after being summoned to the real world. After being destroyed, the soul will be released from imprisonment and can no longer be detained. ]

[ [Ability 3: ]: Gaze of the Lich King. On the throne, you have the aura to look down on the world—dignity +10. Under your gaze, those with weak willpower will feel fear and lose the courage to be your enemy. ]

[Evaluation: Those who play with their souls will not end up well. Will you be an exception? ]

.........

After checking all the information about this [Ice Throne], Aoba knew that this would become another trump card in his hands!

Although the requirements to use it were still very hard, and the increase in his strength was not as direct as [Schrodinger's Zanpakuto]'s, if he could use it well, it would be his 'Edo Tensei'!

If he could snatch Kage-level's head, even if he could only retain 50% of his strength, it would not be weak.

If he could form a thousand-man army that was all Jonin's undead, his destructive power would make him drool just thinking about it.

However, he could only think about it.

Because [Soul Sucking]'s trigger was very clear, he had to kill it himself before he could absorb the other party's soul and turn it into an undead for his control.

Moreover, the undead army he summoned was not like the reincarnation of Edo Tensei, which could revive infinitely.

This also meant that it was difficult for his undead army to form, and every time it was used, it could not avoid losses.

Moreover, how could there be so many Jonin in line for him to kill?

Kage-level experts were even rarer. If they really met, it was hard to say who would kill who!

As a result, Aoba quickly calmed down. It was too difficult for it is really difficult for this [Frozen Throne] to exert its true power.

Those who were too weak did not have the value of turning into undead, but those who were too strong were also very difficult to kill.

In any case, [Schrodinger's Zanpakuto] only needed a long enough time to charge to explode once steadily. But [Frozen Throne] requires him to keep killing powerful enemies before it can be transformed into real combat power. Only then could he turn them into true combat strength. He did not know when he would be able to use them again.

Even if it were useful, perhaps after a battle, the forces he had painstakingly accumulated would return before liberation.

The pain of the loss of soldiers was not something that ordinary people could understand!

The only good news for Aoba at this time was that he was currently in a war.

What was not lacking in the war was slaughter and death.

If they did not grasp this heaven-sent opportunity, by the time the war ended, the villages would welcome a long period of peace.

At that time, it would be even more difficult to accumulate [Frozen Throne]'s undead!

Thinking of this, Aoba began to admire his foresight. He had made a small account and mixed it with Akatsuki. After the war ended, he could follow Akatsuki's members to stir up trouble and harvest the souls of the strong.

As for the last ability, [Gaze of the Lich King], well, the effect of pretending to be 13 was maxed.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

"I hope that Kumogakure can hold on a little longer."

Aoba silently blessed Kumogakure while taking out [Frozen Throne]. It was a mass of grey-white air, which then directly drilled into his heart through his arm.

As long as he willed it, he would be able to summon the Frozen Throne that belonged to him!

Aoba was looking forward to the arrival of that day.
