Chapter 197
A total of twenty-four cards.
Nine low-level Ninjutsu cards, including C-rank and D-rank techniques. Four B-rank Ninjutsu cards: two Wind Release techniques, one Water Release technique, and one B-rank secret technique.
One A-rank Ninjutsu card, also a secret technique, named "Secret Technique: Blood Clone."
One Forbidden Jutsu card, also a secret technique, named "Secret Technique: Blood Explosion."
Aside from these, there were also three beginner-level healing cards, two beginner-level chakra restoration cards, one three-thousand reputation card, two mental enhancement cards, and one double-drop rate card.
"Not bad, not bad!" After counting the loot, Haruto Saito smiled with satisfaction.
This was the fourth time Haruto had killed an Elite Jōnin. Compared to the first time he killed an Elite Jōnin—the black market assassin, Uesugi Kagemu—he was no longer as overwhelmed with excitement. Back then, he had still been relatively weak, so the thrill had been greater. Though this time was less surprising, he was still quite satisfied.
Among the rewards, the ones that excited him the most were the Mental Enhancement Card and the Double Drop Rate Card, while the others were secondary.
The A-rank secret technique, Blood Clone, was the same technique that Teridō and Zero Sting had used before. It was a forbidden technique because it required mixing one's own blood with chakra to create clones.
The downside was that it caused severe blood loss, and excessive bleeding could be fatal! While the user could control the amount of blood lost to avoid immediate death, dizziness and weakened strength were unavoidable.
In reality, this technique's side effects weren't too extreme because the human body naturally replenishes blood. As long as the user didn't bleed to death, the lost blood could be restored. However, the problem was that using this technique in battle could cause the user's combat ability to decline significantly, leading to high indirect danger.
