Chapter 58 – Dungeon Generation Card!
"As the saying goes, there is great terror between life and death. As long as you can survive on the edge of death, the stimulation to your spiritual energy will be immense. And since your Zanpakutō is connected to your spirit, the stronger your spiritual energy becomes, the more powerful your Zanpakutō will grow."
Unohana Retsu calmly explained.
"I see… I understand now, Senior," Kakashi nodded.
After all, he wouldn't actually die in this comic world—so there was nothing to fear.
"Be careful, Senior."
With that, Kakashi took a deep breath and adopted the Hatake sword stance.Then—
Slash!
In a single instant, both he and his sword were cut clean in half.
Darkness swallowed him.
"..."
Even Unohana Retsu herself was stunned.
She had thought that since Kakashi possessed the Zanpakutō Yanling Maru, he should at least be on par with a lieutenant like Chōjirō Sasakibe. But that first exchange—barely even a test swing—had ended in Kakashi's immediate defeat.
Too weak!
But before she could dwell on it further, Kakashi's figure shimmered back into view—resurrected once again.
"...My apologies. I didn't realize you were that weak," she said softly.
Kakashi: "…"
He stared with dead-fish eyes, unable to speak.What's wrong with being weak?Did she have to say it out loud?Was she trying to humiliate him?
At that moment, our Konoha technician, Kakashi Hatake, truly experienced emotional damage.
"It's fine… let's go again," he muttered, raising his sword once more.
Slash!
He was instantly decapitated again.
This time, Unohana Retsu had clearly held back, having gauged Kakashi's strength after that first exchange. Though he still died in seconds, he at least managed to see her movements this time—the trajectory, the rhythm of her blade.
Unfortunately, knowing was one thing; reacting was another.
And so it went.
Over and over again, Kakashi revived… charged… and died.
Slash.Revive.Slash.Revive.
A cycle of endless death and rebirth.
No wonder Kakashi's mental fortitude was considered legendary.Even if his combat power was still lacking, his determination was terrifying.
In pure technique, combat experience, and battle sense, Unohana Retsu far surpassed even Son Goku. Her centuries of blood-soaked battles had honed her into something truly monstrous.
No matter how much she held back, the current Kakashi stood no chance.
A few days later…
[Ding! Kakashi has completed the Bankai training of Zanpakutō: Yanling Maru. Successfully mastered Bankai. Host receives synchronized training progress!][Ding! You have obtained 200,000 System Points!]
The familiar chime echoed in Su Li's mind.
"Kakashi finally mastered Bankai, huh…"Su Li grinned, visibly pleased.
After enabling interactive permissions, the benefits from his manga had skyrocketed. Normally, it would take years for Might Guy or Kakashi to reach Super Saiyan or Bankai levels—but with direct mentorship from Goku and Unohana Retsu, the training period had been drastically shortened.
Of course, the price was steep.Those countless death experiences were still very real.
But that wasn't Su Li's problem.He just had to lie back and collect the rewards.
At that moment, another notification appeared.
[Ding! Iruka has cleared the dungeon: Konoha Crash (Kage-Level Difficulty)!][Rewards Obtained: 10x Chakra Capacity, 10x C-Rank Ninjutsu, 5x B-Rank Ninjutsu, 3x A-Rank Ninjutsu, 1x S-Rank Ninjutsu.][Host receives synchronized rewards!](Note: The "10x Chakra Capacity" is relative, not absolute.)
[Ding! You have gained 4,000 System Points!]
Lately, that dungeon completion chime had become a daily sound.
One by one, Konoha's shinobi were clearing higher-level dungeons—many even conquering Kage-level trials. Though only a few days had passed since the Konoha Collapse, the village's collective strength had grown at a terrifying pace.
Now, almost every ninja in the village was at least on the level of an Elite Chūnin.Only the freshly graduated genin lagged behind.
Then, another prompt appeared.
[Ding! System Points have reached 10,000,000. Would the Host like to perform a King-Level Tenfold Draw?]
"Oh? Already ten million points?"Su Li blinked, then chuckled."That was fast."
It made sense, though.With Kakashi and Might Guy's breakthroughs alone, he'd earned hundreds of thousands of points. With the entire village working like loyal little contributors, ten million wasn't all that much.
At the moment, the King-Level Draw was the system's highest tier. Whether something greater would unlock later, he didn't know—but there was no point hoarding points now.
"Yakumo, I'm stepping out for a bit," Su Li said.
After excusing himself, he found a quiet, secluded spot.
"System, perform a King-Level Tenfold Draw."
[Ding! Activating King-Level Tenfold Draw!]
[Ding! You have obtained Bloodline Limit: Steel Release!][Ding! You have obtained 700,000 Ninjutsu EXP!][Ding! You have obtained 600,000 Taijutsu EXP!][Ding! You have obtained 650,000 Taijutsu EXP!][…][Ding! You have obtained a Special Item: Dungeon Generation Card ×1!]
Su Li's eyes lit up.
A Dungeon Generation Card?
Now that sounded interesting…
