After putting away the Sage's Feather Robe, Jokichi took out Karin's hair. The color, as red as fire, was so distinct that it couldn't help but remind him of candied sweet potatoes.
[Ding! Detected special material "Sage's Hair", can forge special items "Faint Sage Crystal", "Healing Salt Stone", "Mysterious Radar", "Sage's Chains". Do you wish to forge?]
"Yes."
Jokichi chanted silently in his mind. Instantly, 4 items appeared in his hands.
A thumb-sized crystal, bright red like fire.
A fist-sized salt stone emitting a dreamlike luster.
A palm-sized, modernized radar with an antenna spinning on top.
A talisman drawn with mysterious characters.
"Faint Sage Crystal: A crystal containing the power of a Sage. It can alter the human bloodline structure, granting the consumer a constitution with Sage Body characteristics."
"Healing Salt Stone: A salt stone possessing magical power. By keeping the salt stone in the mouth and absorbing its salt content, one can heal injuries and restore stamina and chakra."
"Mysterious Radar: Inject chakra, the antenna spins, and it can sense chakra within a thirty-kilometer radius."
"Sage's Chains: A Sage's chains naturally cannot be a physical existence. This is a sealing jutsu sealed within a talisman. Injecting chakra can release giant spiritual chains that bind the target while also sealing their chakra."
Jokichi fell silent.
Except for the sealing jutsu Adamantine Sealing Chains, the rest of the items seemed to come from the abilities of the Uzumaki clan's special constitution.
But after forging items for these abilities, the system also forged a crystal for the constitution. This...
Was it similar to the Sharingan and the Mangekyo?
But why did Naruto only have the crystal?
As soon as this thought arose in his mind, Jokichi couldn't help but laugh himself.
It seemed that although Naruto was of the Uzumaki clan, his constitution was far inferior to Karin and Kushina.
Not only did he lack the abilities of sensory perception and healing by being bitten, his own super-speed recovery and chakra were also brought about by the Nine-Tails.
How could abilities he didn't inherently possess be separated and made into items?
It seemed Nagato also didn't have healing abilities.
It looks like in mixed-blood Uzumaki lineages, the abilities get diluted!
After clarifying his thoughts, Jokichi pondered slightly.
How should he use these items?
First was the Faint Sage Crystal.
If he consumed it directly, he should be able to awaken the Mind's Eye of the Kagura and the ability to heal and restore others by being bitten.
As for chakra and recovery power...
In the face of the perfect Sage Body, the Uzumaki clan's chakra and recovery power weren't worth mentioning at all.
In other words, by consuming this Sage Crystal, he would only gain two abilities, which was a huge waste.
For sensory abilities, he already had the Book of Omniscience and the Mysterious Radar, although there were differences between his own abilities and equipment.
But as long as it was enough, it was fine.
And as for the ability to heal and restore others' injuries by being bitten...
Just thinking about it is disgusting, alright!
Although Jokichi wasn't a cold-blooded animal, he wasn't a good person either, just an ordinary person.
He would never do such a thing for others.
He would wait until he forged Sage Crystals from the bodies of the First, Second, and Fifth Hokage before fusing and upgrading them to consume!
After thinking it through, Jokichi placed the Faint Sage Crystal into the system space, then set his sights on the Healing Salt Stone.
It was unclear how effective its healing was. If it could match Karin's constitution, it would absolutely be a major treasure.
"Unfortunately, it's useless to me."
Jokichi threw the thing into the system space with a face full of pity.
Next was the Mysterious Radar.
Jokichi injected chakra into the radar, and the antenna on the dish instantly started spinning. Rings of light invisible to the naked eye radiated out from the antenna.
Jokichi concentrated, staring fixedly at the radar, wanting to see how it probed.
Unexpectedly, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Detected that the host possesses items of similar nature, "Book of Omniscience" and "Mysterious Radar", which can be forged into a new item, "Scouter". Do you wish to forge?]
A new item!
Jokichi's eyes lit up, and he immediately chanted in his mind, "Forge".
This was forging a new item, not a fusion upgrade.
The last time a new item was forged using two items as materials was the Shadow Warrior, a bug-level item that doubled his combat power.
This time, Jokichi held infinite expectations for a new item also forged with items as materials.
As the thought fell in his mind, the Book of Omniscience automatically flew out of the system space.
Next, the Mysterious Radar in his hand also flew up.
Both emitted faint lights from their exteriors and attracted each other, finally fusing into a ball.
The light dissipated, and an item dropped down.
Jokichi quickly caught it. When he saw the shape of the item clearly, he was completely speechless.
This was a combat power scouter similar to the ones in Dragon Ball, a monocle connected to an earpiece.
"Scouter: Can detect chakra within a fifty-kilometer radius, and can also detect the intensity of the chakra. You can adjust the screen, freely switching between the strategic map and the camera view."
Uh, it really is a combat power scouter!
Jokichi imagined a scene where, while fighting someone in the future, he wore the combat power scouter, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at the opponent disdainfully.
"Tch, trash with a combat power of 5 dares to fight me?"
"No, no, this is too fucking chuunibyou, holy crap!"
Jokichi shook his head vigorously, throwing the imagined scene out of his mind. He put on the scouter and then injected chakra.
Instantly, a map appeared on the lens, densely marked with countless red dots.
Jokichi picked a random red dot and tried zooming in.
Then, the map turned into a real-life view: a small wooden house on a street in Konoha.
Jokichi continued to zoom in. The view cut from outside the house to inside, where a plump woman was cooking.
Jokichi turned off the scouter, pondering slightly.
"This item almost combines the features of the Mind's Eye of the Kagura and the Telescope Technique, and enhances the range."
The Book of Omniscience could see the view but was easily blocked.
If the enemy was hiding in a house or a cave, the Book of Omniscience could only see a dot of light, unable to see the scene inside.
But the Scouter, combined with the perception viewing features of the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, could bypass buildings to directly view the scene of the chakra possessor, and could also discern the intensity of the chakra within their body.
Although using it felt a bit chuunibyou, in terms of practicality, it was indeed more useful than the Book of Omniscience or the Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
However, it didn't reach the expected bug-level degree either.
"I should be more content!"
Jokichi comforted himself a bit, then cast his gaze on the Sage's Chains.
Pondering slightly for a moment, he crumpled the talisman into a ball, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it.
Isn't it just eating paper?
It's not eating shit, why resist it so much?
