Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Now Isn’t the Time to Pop Champagne Yet

[Emotion Points Balance: 48,800!]

"Forty-eight thousand eight hundred…?"

The gains from the second dream far exceeded Shigure's expectations.

He'd originally estimated that even with an upgraded dream instance, pulling in ten-thousand-ish points would already be great.

After all, the first time had only netted a bit over six thousand.

But he never imagined that Minato and Kushina's appearance would trigger such intense emotional shockwaves, sending the points into explosive growth.

Especially Kakashi.

That guy was basically a walking super-Emotion-Points ATM.

And Naruto too.

Throughout the dream Naruto had mostly been grinning like an idiot, but at the end he actually triggered a special "dream fulfilled" bonus and brought in a full ten thousand points in one shot.

Sasuke and Sakura contributed less, but hey—every little bit counted. Mosquito legs were still meat.

He was one big step closer to trading for a Rinnegan or an Ōtsutsuki bloodline.

"Calm down. Calm down!"

"Now isn't the time to pop champagne yet."

"No matter how many points I hoard, if I don't turn them into strength soon, they're just numbers that'll vanish the moment I get killed!"

Shigure understood better than anyone how dangerous this shinobi world was.

The death rate here could easily rank top-tier across all realms.

Without enough power, there was no safety at all.

Forget protecting what he cared about—he might not even be able to keep himself alive.

"I need to convert all of this into combat ability, fast."

His eyes sharpened. With a thought, he opened the sprawling shop interface again.

Bloodline limits, ninjutsu scrolls, taijutsu secrets, gear, special abilities…

He skipped the absurdly expensive Bloodline Limit section and went straight to Ninjutsu and Special Abilities.

"Last time I randomly got affinity for Water, Lightning, and Yang chakra…"

"Yang is mostly support and healing—good for recovery, but not much offense. So for now, Water and Lightning come first."

He was just about to start carefully sifting through the long list like last time—

When a new icon suddenly flashed in the top-right corner of the interface!

Its dynamic neon text kept blinking:

"Weekly Sale! Limited-Time Discount! Don't Miss Out!"

Shigure's eyes lit up. He tapped it without hesitation.
