...
For a moment, the system's dinging sounds were incessant. Looking at the prompts in the system, Shinji smiled. These newly updated functions were quite good. Moreover, the usage counts for the previous functions had increased, for example, the number of times he could return to the shop increased by 1.
Also, this updated kinetic energy, wasn't this just a watered-down version of distance-ignoring Flying Thunder God? Although the number of uses wasn't high, its advantage was being able to ignore distance. For example, Shinji could now directly set a location point in the Land of Grass and go there instantly with a thought. This was quite good.
After reading the system prompts, Shinji then got up and came to the cash box. Looking inside, several exploding tags lay quietly within.
"Hehe, really a troublesome bunch," Shinji picked up the exploding tags from the cash box, looking thoughtful. Then, he stood up and went to the second floor. Opening Deidara's room door.
"Boss Shinji?" Itachi, who noticed Shinji entering first, immediately stood up. They had been training upstairs just now.
"Deidara, these few exploding tags are for you," Shinji thought for a moment, then casually tossed the exploding tags towards Deidara.
Boom!!! Deidara originally wanted to catch them, but unexpectedly, due to Shinji's throwing motion being a bit large, the exploding tags landed directly on Deidara's bed and detonated...
"Emm... Lord Shinji, if you really didn't want to give them to me, you didn't have to, actually..." Deidara looked somewhat helplessly at the several holes blown into his clothes.
...
...
Over the next few days, unexpectedly, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't come looking for Shinji for anything. Just when Shinji himself was feeling a bit surprised. News arrived that instantly made Shinji understand why Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't come looking for him.
Kumogakure's Fourth Raikage! Appeared on the battlefield! Due to this sudden situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi directly took command, leading Fugaku and Hizashi together to the battlefield. Moreover, due to some other reasons, Sunagakure of the Land of Wind also seemed to be making restless moves. Thus, Danzō was sent there by Hiruzen Sarutobi for vigilance. Suddenly, several major combat powers in the village were all dispatched outside, which was why no one came looking for trouble with Shinji.
"Lord Shinji, you were looking for me," Karin was training when Shinji knocked on her door.
"How is your mastery of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques coming along during this time?" Shinji walked into Karin's room and asked.
"A bit tense. Currently, I've only mastered some relatively simple sealing techniques. But many I haven't even grasped the basics of yet, for example, the Adamantine Sealing Chains," Karin replied honestly. Mastering these sealing techniques was truly difficult. Even someone with Karin's talent found it hard to grasp them quickly. Of course, if Karin's progress were known to the outside world, it would be different. Sealing techniques were known as the most difficult series of ninjutsu to master. Being able to grasp them to this extent at this stage was already very impressive for Karin.
"Mm-hmm, not bad. Have you seen Deidara?" Shinji suddenly changed the subject.
"Deidara? He seemed to have gone out to the training ground with Itachi just now," Karin thought for a moment and said.
"Go find him and bring him back. Itachi can wait for now."
"Okay, Lord Shinji. I'll go right away," Karin agreed, then turned and left the room, heading to the training ground to find Deidara.
"Didn't expect this progress to be quite fast," Shinji looked at the points in the system, already exceeding 5000. Since that was the case, he planned to take out the item he promised Deidara earlier.
...
"Lord Shinji, you were looking for me?" Soon, Karin returned with Deidara. Judging by the explosion debris on Deidara, he had clearly been conducting various explosion experiments with Itachi at the training ground.
"Yes. Deidara, let me ask you, if... Ōnoki came looking for you, would you go back with him?" Shinji looked calmly at Deidara. This was what he most wanted to know. After all, he planned to spend 5000 points to exchange for an Explosion Fruit for Deidara. If Deidara left directly afterward, it would be a significant loss for Shinji.
"Teacher Ōnoki?" Deidara clearly hadn't expected Shinji to ask him this question, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, Ōnoki."
"I... wouldn't. This place suits me better," Deidara answered after only a slight hesitation.
"What if he forcibly tried to take you away?" Shinji stared into Deidara's eyes.
"If he tried to force me... then I would go," Deidara suddenly looked up into Shinji's eyes.
"Why?"
"If he forcibly tried to take me away, then Lord Shinji, Karin, and Itachi might become his opponents. In that case, with Teacher Ōnoki's strength, this All-Purpose Shop would cease to exist." Deidara stated very confidently.
He knew how monstrous Ōnoki's Dust Release was. He believed from the bottom of his heart that Ōnoki's Dust Release could definitely destroy the All-Purpose Shop. In that case, his friends and Shinji might suffer some harm. This was a situation the current Deidara didn't want to see. After spending half a year together, Deidara had already considered this place his home in his heart. Moreover, the properties of the All-Purpose Shop really suited him.
"Then I'll trust you for now. Deidara, do you remember what I told you before?" Shinji looked into Deidara's eyes. Suddenly, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Clearly, this was the answer Shinji wanted.
"You mean, that ability where any part of the body can explode, even flicked boogers, blowing air from the mouth can also be used as explosives, being immune to bombs oneself, even eating a bomb without suffering any damage?" Deidara's eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered what Shinji had said before. Although Deidara initially scoffed at Shinji's words. But ever since seeing Karin's Dragon Slayer Magic, he could now firmly believe Shinji could indeed produce such an item. So, when Shinji mentioned it just now, he reacted immediately.
"Yes, that ability. Do you want it?" Shinji looked amusedly at Deidara. Deidara was different from Itachi. Compared to Itachi's little adult demeanor, Deidara was more like a vibrant child.
"I want it!" Deidara thought for a moment, then raised his head very firmly and looked at Shinji. The ability Shinji mentioned before was simply perfect for Deidara. Anything could explode. For Deidara, who regarded explosions as art, nothing else was more suitable.
"Then let me tell you first, possessing this ability also means having certain limitations," Shinji held up one finger.
"What limitations?"
"After obtaining this ability, you will become a 'hammer' in water. Meaning you cannot swim or go into the sea. Water's energy will make you feel weak," Shinji said very seriously. This side effect might be acceptable in some inland areas, but remember, in the ninja world, Water Release would become Deidara's lifelong enemy.
"I understand. This is my own choice. I choose to accept it," Deidara thought for a moment and ultimately chose to accept this side effect.
"Since that's the case, then I won't say anything else," Shinji stared into Deidara's eyes for a moment, then sank his mind into the system.
[Ding!]
[One Piece World - Bomb-Bomb Fruit]
[Exchange Points: 5000]
[Host Current Remaining Points: 5300]
[Proceed with exchange?]
[Yes/No]
After Shinji opened the point shop and clicked on the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, the system suddenly popped up this prompt.
[Yes!] Shinji didn't hesitate at all, directly exchanging for this Bomb-Bomb Fruit.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations Host for successfully exchanging One Piece World - Bomb-Bomb Fruit]
[Points deducted: 5000]
[Remaining Points: 300]
[One Piece World - Bomb-Bomb Fruit has been placed in the system space. Host, please check.]
Following a series of system sounds, Shinji closed the point shop, then went into the system space and took out the Bomb-Bomb Fruit.
"Lord Shinji, what is this fruit?" Seeing a dark purple fruit with patterns suddenly appear in Shinji's hand, Karin asked somewhat curiously.
However, Deidara looked somewhat breathlessly at the Bomb-Bomb Fruit in Shinji's hand. Vaguely, Deidara felt a strange connection between this fruit and himself. And this fruit... looked so artistic!
"This is the Bomb-Bomb Fruit. Specially prepared for Deidara. Here, Deidara," Shinji handed the Bomb-Bomb Fruit in his hand to Deidara.
"How do I use this?" Deidara took a deep breath, desperately suppressing the excitement in his heart, gently reached out, and took the Bomb-Bomb Fruit from Shinji's hand.
"Just eat it directly," A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Shinji's face. The taste of Devil Fruits, whoever eats it knows.
"I understand," Deidara held the Bomb-Bomb Fruit in his hand, took another deep breath, and then began eating it in large mouthfuls. But. If he could have seen Shinji's expression before eating, he definitely wouldn't have eaten the Bomb-Bomb Fruit so simply.
Sure enough, the next second. Deidara's entire expression changed.
"Cough cough cough!!! What is this taste!!!" Deidara began coughing violently. The Devil Fruit, known to taste like poop, instantly filled Deidara's entire mouth. This was simply the most terrifying nightmare.
"No! I must obtain this power!" Deidara looked at the half-eaten Bomb-Bomb Fruit in his hand, endured the nauseating taste, and then continued eating it in large mouthfuls. As Deidara swallowed, the entire Devil Fruit was swallowed by Deidara.
Looking at the pained expression on Deidara's face, a trace of sympathy suddenly appeared on Shinji's face. Remember, the taste of Devil Fruits was something even the highly trained CP9 couldn't completely suppress their emotions about, directly showing pained expressions on their faces.
"I finished eating! Water! I need water!" As soon as Deidara finished eating, he started looking for water all over the room. The taste in his mouth made Deidara feel like he was about to vomit.
"Although, Deidara, this thing actually... only needs one bite to take effect..." Shinji thought for a moment and ultimately decided to let Deidara know this piece of information. Mmm, he definitely didn't intentionally not let Deidara know this. It must have been because Deidara's hand speed was too fast, causing him unable to stop him in time! Confirmed, it must be like this! Shinji gave himself a mental pep talk while speaking, then looked towards Deidara.
Sure enough, Deidara's face was now full of anger.
"This thing only needed one bite to work?" Deidara asked with a mournful face.
