"It actually had such a good effect?"
"It completely exceeded my expectations."
Rasa truly hadn't expected that the move of scattering small propaganda cards would bring such a huge point yield, reaching over 2500 points in just a few days.
This was much faster than any previous attempt.
"Ebizo spent so much manpower and mental effort, used so many methods."
"The Uchiha clan's rebellion."
"Gen Uchiha's death."
"None of these could compare to the effect of me going to the airspace above the Konoha ninja army and scattering small propaganda cards."
Rasa didn't immediately conduct the draw but instead summarized his experience.
"The reason for such an effect lies firstly in the quantity."
"The number of small cards was too great, reaching as many as a hundred thousand. Scattering them overwhelmingly like that meant a massive number of people could see them. Even if Konoha wanted to clean them up, it wasn't something that could be done in a short time."
"The second point is the eye-catching nature."
"The beautiful female ninja aspect was very important."
"Without the female ninja, many people might not have picked them up at all. Even if they did, they wouldn't have looked at them."
"It was precisely because of these two points that the effect was so good."
Rasa's eyes flickered.
"However, there is still room for improvement."
Rasa thought of the "collectible card" tactic used with instant noodles in his previous life.
Many people bought instant noodles not because they wanted to eat them, but often because they wanted to obtain the cards and collect the entire set.
Why would they want to collect them all?
One reason was that some cards were rare, making completion difficult. Difficulty brings a sense of achievement.
Being able to complete a set when others couldn't would make people envious.
The second reason was that after collecting a full set, one could redeem them for valuable prizes.
"Redeeming prizes would be a bit difficult to execute without exposing myself, but deliberately making some cards rare is still very easy to do."
"I can add that in next time."
This time, some Rock ninja felt that certain cards were rare, but that was actually because Rasa hadn't scattered them evenly.
Next time, Rasa planned to deliberately create some rare and special cards.
Before long, Rasa turned his attention back to the system panel.
The point figure on it had now become 2552.
"The points are still rising, but the speed has gradually slowed down."
"Since that's the case, let's draw."
With a thought from Rasa.
The next moment, an invisible wheel began to spin wildly.
[Congratulations Host. You have obtained F-Rank Item: One Ounce of Gold.]
...
[Congratulations Host. You have obtained C-Rank Item: One-Night Dream Fabrication Card (Mist Jonin Edition).]
...
[Congratulations Host. You have obtained D-Rank Item: One-Day Ninja Trial Card (Mist Genin Edition).]
...
[Congratulations Host. You have obtained A-Rank Item: Summoning Beast Card (Powerful Combat Type).]
"An A-rank appeared!"
Rasa hurriedly looked over.
[Summoning Beast Card (Powerful Combat Type)]
[Randomly generates a powerful combat-type summoning beast. After subduing it, the user can forcibly sign a contract with it.]
"Powerful combat type? How powerful?"
Images of many summoning beasts immediately surfaced in Rasa's mind.
First were the Three Great Sage Regions.
Toads, Snakes, Slugs.
But Rasa knew that the summoning beasts of these three Sage Regions were basically destined to have no connection with the Hidden Sand.
Then there were Hiruzen Sarutobi's Enma, Danzo Shimura's Baku, Kakashi's Ninja Dogs, Might Guy's Tortoise, and so on.
There weren't many ninja who used summoning beasts as their main combat method.
On one hand, the number of summoning beasts was small. Compared to ninja, summoning beasts were much rarer.
Moreover, powerful summoning beasts were even rarer.
Some summoning beasts weren't even as strong as a single explosive tag.
Rasa put the gold into the drawer, then, with a flash, left the Kazekage Building.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the Sand Village.
The ground was covered in yellow sand.
Rasa had used both Dream Cards and Ninja Cards before, so he didn't need to look closely at those.
But this Summoning Beast Card was a first for him, and he had some expectations for its effect.
After all, the system description used the term "powerful combat."
Rasa surveyed his surroundings.
"It's relatively empty here, filled with a large amount of sand. It's the environment best suited for my combat style."
"Being outside the Sand Village, fighting won't cause massive damage to the village."
"Also, it's relatively close to Chiyo's seclusion spot. If this 'powerful combat' turns out to be too powerful, and even I can't take it down in a short time, I can call Chiyo over to help."
"Since she agreed to make the puppets last time, she has actually relented on participating in village affairs."
"If a situation truly arises in front of her, she will still act."
Immediately, Rasa took out the Summoning Beast Card.
"Use!"
The next moment, a burst of white light flashed on the card.
Then.
An extremely massive figure burst out from the card.
A sharp screech rang out.
Rasa saw an incredibly huge bird shooting straight into the sky.
Its feathers were entirely grey-green. Its claws and beak were incredibly sharp, their surfaces gleaming with a metallic luster. One glance was enough to tell their hardness. Its gaze was sharp.
Upon seeing this giant bird, the image of another giant bird involuntarily surfaced in Rasa's mind.
A summoning beast summoned by the Animal Path during Pain's invasion of Konoha.
Its size was immense, even larger than Gamaken.
And Gamaken was already an existence of very large size in the realm of summoning beasts.
The giant bird possessed an extremely sharp beak and claws, capable of easily killing a ninja.
But more importantly, it had another ability.
It could lay eggs.
These eggs weren't real eggs.
Upon hitting the ground, they would create a violent explosion.
Dropping bombs from high altitude would inevitably cause massive damage if ninja were gathered below.
The bird summoned by the card right now couldn't just be said to resemble Pain's giant bird; it was basically identical.
"I don't know which is stronger, this giant bird or Pain's, but with such a huge size, if it also has the explosive egg ability, it definitely won't be weak."
"Subduing such a giant bird won't be an easy task."
"Especially since this bird can fly."
"But, fortunately, it's me."
Rasa had a thought.
A large amount of gold dust gathered and swept rapidly toward the giant bird.
At the same time.
A mass of gold dust condensed under Rasa's feet, supporting him as he ascended into the sky.
Soon, the gold dust entangled the giant bird.
Transforming into something like a rope, it wrapped around one of the giant bird's claws. Then, more gold dust spread upward, forcing the giant bird to slow down.
The giant bird's eyes darted around, realizing escape was impossible.
The next moment, it turned around directly and charged at Rasa.
Rasa beckoned with his hand.
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Shield!"
