- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 160
As soon as Fang Bo’s name appeared on the screen, many eyes turned toward him.
“It’s him.”
“The Spider Guy.”
“This is gonna be interesting.”
“That bastard chased me once. Lucky I ran fast enough.”
“Hope they match him against some top-tier powerhouse.”
The surrounding gazes were full of malice, but Fang Bo couldn’t care less about what others thought.
“Shouting now doesn’t mean anything. When we meet for real, then you’ll be the ones crying.”
Of course, Fang Bo wasn’t as calm as he appeared. He was also worried about being matched against someone truly unbeatable.
Like Gaara, for example. If that happened, well, it would just be a case of bad luck.
Staring at the screen as the names flickered, everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.
Soon enough, the Leaf Village symbol appeared, and his opponent wasn’t a reincarnator, but a well-known character from the story.
“Finally, my time to shine,” said the man, with a face covered by a mask and wearing black sunglasses, giving him a rather unique look.
Even the seasoned reincarnators exchanged puzzled glances as they looked at him.
“Wearing sunglasses indoors? This guy’s gotta be nuts.”
“Judging by that dramatic entrance, he’s probably a pushover.”
“Heh, weren’t people saying that green jumpsuit guy was a weakling too?”
“Relax, my judgment’s usually spot on.”
“You were wrong just a minute ago, idiot.”
Amid the chatter, the two fighters made their way to the center of the arena.
Even Fang Bo couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on as he looked at his overly confident opponent.
This was Yoroi Akado, a spy from the Sound Village planted in the Leaf Village, with the rare ability to absorb chakra.
He was the guy Sasuke beat with the “Lion Combo.”
In the grand scheme of the Chunin Exams, this guy was pretty low-tier, and Fang Bo couldn’t fathom where he got his confidence from.
Slowly raising his hand, even with a mask on, Yoroi’s smug expression was painfully clear.
“Just a friendly warning—don’t let me catch you, or the fight’s over.”
*Sigh.*
Fang Bo shook his head, looking genuinely disappointed.
He finally had a chance to rack up some points, but instead, he got stuck with a fool like this.
Even if he killed Yoroi, the most he’d probably get was some basic ninjutsu.
**Yoroi Akado (Genin)**
**Attack Tendency: Medium**
**Attribute Tendency: Strength**
**Special Ability: Energy Absorption**
**Threat Level: Pathetically Weak**
Energy Absorption: Absorbs four points of mental energy per second while the skill is continuously maintained.
Absorbing four points of mental energy per second was indeed powerful, and if Yoroi caught most reincarnators, the fight would be over.
The only redeeming thing about him was that energy-absorbing ability, which was rare. But if the roles were reversed, and Fang Bo had to pull off an underdog victory, he might actually get something good out of it.
But with such a weak threat level, Fang Bo could only hope he didn’t get stuck with something useless like a clone technique.
*Cough cough.* Moonlight Guy coughed and raised his hand, signaling the start of the second match.
Yoroi wasted no time, immediately rushing forward.
“If I catch you, it’s over!” he said confidently.
In this indoor setting, where large-scale ninjutsu couldn’t be used, it was a tough environment for certain fighters.
But ninjas didn’t get to choose their battles, and the exam was all about how to fight in unfavorable conditions.
“Watch me take you down in a flash!” Yoroi reached out with his cursed right hand.
Just as he was about to touch Fang Bo, a golden flash of light streaked across the sky.
The next moment, the Crescent Dragon Blade descended from above, slicing clean through Yoroi’s right arm as he looked on in stunned disbelief.
Fang Bo casually kicked the severed arm aside, his hands stuffed into his white suit pockets as his black and red cloak flapped in the breeze.
“Now that you’ve lost your hand, how are you gonna grab me?”
Fang Bo didn’t even need to move. He simply controlled his treasure to cut off his opponent’s arm.
Though his King’s Treasury wasn’t fully developed, it was more than enough to deal with someone like Yoroi.
Golden ripples appeared again, and the Elemental Crusher Hammer charged at his opponent like an unstoppable force.
Yoroi tried to block with his remaining arm, managing to change the hammer’s trajectory. But the sheer power threw him off balance.
As the Greatsword “Jimena” followed through, Yoroi could only watch as the blade pierced through his chest.
Two more treasures swiftly followed, turning him into a human pincushion.
**You have killed Yoroi Akado.**
**Leaf Village Reputation -50, Current Status: Cold**
**Sound Village Reputation -20, Current Status: Friendly**
**Kakashi Hatake’s Affection -10**
**Might Guy’s Affection -10**
**Moonlight Guy’s Affection -10**
**Kurenai Yuhi’s Affection -10**
**Asuma Sarutobi’s Affection -10**
**Kabuto Yakushi’s Affection +20**
**You have obtained a plot chest (Purple).**
The entire battle was quick and easy. Yoroi was never a real threat, and the gap between their power levels was massive.
However, Fang Bo didn’t expect to suddenly lose so much reputation.
In hindsight, it wasn’t too surprising. Yoroi, despite being a spy, was still technically a Leaf Village ninja. Killing him on the spot was bound to upset people.
The special nature of the space war meant the Leaf Village wouldn’t interfere directly, but that didn’t mean they’d have a positive view of Fang Bo’s actions.
Even his standing with the Sound Village took a hit.
The logic was simple—Yoroi was one of their spies. Technically, Fang Bo had just killed one of their own.
“Well, I get that, but why did Kabuto’s affection go up?”
Amid the crowd’s stares, Fang Bo casually walked back to the observation area.
There were still too many contestants. One match wouldn’t solve much. Soon, they’d be entering the second round of individual battles.
Once the number of participants was halved twice, the remaining strong contenders would proceed to the third round of open competition.
At that point, every battle would be a life-or-death struggle, where luck had no place.
In reality, most reincarnators’ journeys had already ended the moment the Forest of Death trial was over.
For those lucky enough to survive the second round, the next month would be spent exploring the plot world.
This was why so many refused to give up easily.
“And it’s good they won’t give up, or where else would we get all these plot points?”
As Fang Bo returned to the Sound Village group, the murmurs around him grew louder.
“That ability he used just now… it feels familiar.”
“Idiot, haven’t you read the intel handbook?”
“I know the skill, just didn’t think anyone would actually learn it.”
“Hmph, not very useful though. Too slow, both in output and weapon summoning.”
“That’s true. If it were me, I’d deflect all his weapons without a scratch.”
Whether that was bragging or not, the reincarnators’ critiques of the King’s Treasury were spot on.
Despite its great potential, it was obvious that the Spider Guy hadn’t fully mastered his abilities yet. While he could handle the weaker foes easily, dealing with stronger opponents would be a different story.
Fang Bo, however, ignored all the discussions around him. His focus was on what kind of rewards Yoroi Akado’s defeat would bring him.
“A purple-grade chest, huh? Probably nothing too special.”
Even though that was his initial thought, he was in for a surprise this time.
Despite Yoroi’s unimpressive strength, the reward he gave actually turned out to be quite useful.
[You are opening a purple-grade plot chest.]
[You have received 100 plot points.]
[You have received Core Protection.]
[You have received Basic Melee LV5.]
As expected, he didn’t get Yoroi’s chakra-absorbing ability.
The basic skill scroll was useless to him, and he figured he could sell it off to another reincarnator later.
The real treasure, though, seemed to be the wristguard called “Core Protection.”
**Name:** Core Protection
**Grade:** Extraordinary
**Type:** Wristguard
**Durability:** 45/45
**Attribute Enhancement:** Strength +2, Spirit +1
**Requirements:** Strength 10, Spirit 15
**Effect:** Drain Boost (Passive)
**Origin:** Naruto
**Equipment Evaluation:** To make use of this, you’ll need an ability related to energy absorption.
**Drain Boost (Passive):** Significantly enhances the strength of any life or energy absorption skills.
The attribute bonuses weren’t anything special, at least not for Fang Bo in his current state.
The real value was in its effect, which amplified life absorption.
“Basically, it makes life-draining moves stronger.”
Fang Bo pulled out a kunai, and to the surprise of those around him, he stabbed himself a few times.
Tossing the bloody weapon aside, he placed a hand on Juugo’s shoulder.
“Let me borrow some of your energy.”
Activating his Drain skill, Juugo’s expression instantly twisted in pain as if enduring something truly agonizing.
[Your health +8]
[Your health +8]
[Your health +8]
Thankfully, it only lasted for three seconds before Fang Bo released him.
As it turned out, the wristguard had doubled his health absorption, boosting it from four points per second to eight.
If he continued upgrading his “Recovery” skill, the amount might increase even more.
This meant that Fang Bo could now recover his health even faster. Even if he were gravely injured, he could be back to full strength in just half a minute.
By his estimate, if he maxed out his recovery ability, he could heal fully in about ten seconds.
“Not bad at all. At least my match wasn’t a waste of time.”
The following battles were mostly one-sided and fairly dull.
However, the fight involving “Kiba Inuzuka” was more entertaining.
As if guided by the plot’s inertia, Kiba once again faced Naruto Uzumaki. Their playful battle was so lackluster that many in the crowd nearly fell asleep.
Only a few people in the audience knew that the blond-haired boy was hiding an immense power within.
Yet with so many skilled fighters around, hardly anyone paid attention to the main characters of the story.
Compared to the relatively unknown Naruto, another key character’s entrance was met with far more fanfare.
All eyes were on Sasuke Uchiha as he stepped into the arena, the last survivor of the Uchiha clan.
His opponent was a female reincarnator from the Cloud Village, apparently a gunslinger by the looks of the gleaming crossbow in her hands.
Whistling softly, Ada eyed the young man up and down, lingering on his handsome features.
“What a shame. If we were outside this place, I’d make sure you died in the most pleasurable way possible.”
She licked her lips seductively, making Sasuke visibly uncomfortable.
Just as he began gathering chakra, the curse mark on the back of his neck flared up, causing him a sharp burst of pain.
“I guess I’ll have to stick to taijutsu,” he muttered.
With a signal from Moonlight Guy, the fight began.
Sasuke intended to take her down quickly, but to his surprise, the woman landed a knee strike that sent him flying into the air.
