Ryujin Jakka

After flattering the system for a good while, Hyuga Matsuba glanced at the increased lottery chances and clicked the draw button.

He never saved up lottery chances—saving or not made no difference, so he might as well enjoy the moment.

Every draw gave something different, all down to luck. Relying on the lottery to get by was pure fantasy.

Hyuga Matsuba started drawing like before. After doing it so many times, he was familiar with the process.

Clang clang clang!

Five items refreshed on the wheel: a Frying Pan, a Golden Wing Handgun, an AWM, Hadō #90 * Black Coffin, and a Balala the Fairies' Magic Wand.

Hyuga Matsuba stared at these items, at a loss for words. Were the Frying Pan and the Balala the Fairies' Magic Wand from the wrong universe?

As far as he remembered, wasn't that Magic Wand only used by the little fairy after transforming to cast spells? Besides, he wasn't a little fairy—if he drew that thing, holding it would be embarrassing.

Looking at the others—handgun, AWM—Hyuga Matsuba wasn't interested either.

"This lottery really has everything, anything can end up on the wheel. Let's start!"

The wheel began spinning. Hyuga Matsuba watched the pointer nervously. Finally, amid his full hopes, the result came out: Hadō #90 * Black Coffin.

"Whoa, not bad! I actually got lucky for once? Next round!"

Hyuga Matsuba was very satisfied with this result—out of this refresh, this was his favorite.

Second draw. The wheel refreshed again, this time showing four prizes: Hexagram * Mountain-Shattering Strike, Paw-Paw Fruit (System Improved Version), Single-Color * Banyate Sword, and Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

Though the number of prizes was smaller, the quality had gone up. Hyuga Matsuba started the draw without hesitation.

He ended up with Hexagram * Mountain-Shattering Strike. This was one of the highest-level Ninjutsu in the Hyuga Clan, but Hyuga Matsuba didn't need it much now—its effects were similar to the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Even if he didn't really want it, the result was already set. No redo.

If he could go back, maybe Hyuga Matsuba would have done that, but the system didn't allow it.

"No matter. All in all, this is an extremely powerful Ninjutsu—it can even pierce through mountains. I can't take it lightly!"

Final draw. The wheel refreshed. This time, it was the fewest prizes Hyuga Matsuba had ever seen—only three items on it.

This lottery function had no pattern at all. Every refresh was luck-based. Hyuga Matsuba's record for most items was probably over a dozen.

This time there were only three. Sounded pitifully few, but in reality, each one was a gem.

The three items were: Teacher Swordfish's Ability, Zanpakuto * Ryujin Jakka, and Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

One sentence to describe these three treasures: Badass! No matter what the result, Hyuga Matsuba felt he'd hit the jackpot.

"If I really draw Teacher Swordfish's ability, will I go bald too? Or will I end up as ugly as him?" Hyuga Matsuba started worrying.

Teacher Swordfish's skill level was no joke, but every gain came with a loss. He was top-tier in ability, but he went bald, and his love life seemed pretty rough too.

Hyuga Matsuba desperately wanted Teacher Swordfish's ability, but if it meant suffering in romance, he absolutely didn't want that.

Sweat broke out on Hyuga Matsuba's hands from tension. The final draw began. The pointer spun again, and after a long time, it landed on Zanpakuto * Ryujin Jakka.

Hyuga Matsuba's hanging heart finally settled. A sword instantly appeared before him, and he reached out to catch it.

The blade was extremely long, the hilt not short either. It looked different from that Yamamoto guy's sword in many ways. Holding such a huge sword felt very out of place.

Right now, Hyuga Matsuba was just a kid—not suited for this sword yet. He'd have to wait until later. His height wasn't enough; even drawing the sword was a problem.

But that didn't discourage Hyuga Matsuba. If one day he could use this Zanpakuto, wouldn't he be unbeatable in the Naruto World?

Easier said than done, though. Using this sword wasn't simple. It was one of the strongest weapons in the fire-type category.

When Hyuga Matsuba reached out and caught the sword earlier, he could feel the energy inside him shift. This sword seemed to connect with his inner energy, tightly linked together.

Hyuga Matsuba examined the sword, realizing this weapon had fused into his body for convenient use later.

"But how do I unseal this sword?" Hyuga Matsuba was baffled.

The necessary step to use a Zanpakuto was to remove its seal. Otherwise, its true power wouldn't show—it would just be a sharp tool, nowhere near a formidable weapon.

"Sigh, I'll figure it out later. Now that I have this sword, why worry about not unsealing it someday?" Hyuga Matsuba carefully stored it away and closed the system.

He relaxed his body. Outside, the moon was big and round. Hyuga Matsuba couldn't sleep now.

This draw was too exciting—not just Zanpakuto * Ryujin Jakka, but also Hadō #90 * Black Coffin. These two treasures had become his favorites.

If he'd only drawn Black Coffin, he wouldn't be this thrilled. But drawing Zanpakuto * Ryujin Jakka too—that was a huge surprise.

Moments this exciting were rare. The last time was when he got the Tenseigan, and he was overjoyed. That ranked up there with this. Back then, Hyuga Matsuba had just transmigrated and was so happy he didn't know what to do.

It took a long, long time for Hyuga Matsuba's heart to calm down.

"Still not strong enough. I've got this sword now, but it's still sealed. Useless for now." Hyuga Matsuba was a bit disappointed.

He couldn't be too absolute, though. This Zanpakuto was a system-upgraded version—it could be activated by consuming Chakra. But a weapon this powerful would drain a huge amount.

Using this sword in battle now was still too early.

"Ah, forget it! I've already got something this awesome. Maybe even better treasures are waiting for me later. Then I'll be too excited to eat."

Forcing himself to calm down, Hyuga Matsuba shut his eyes tight, planning to sleep.

Tomorrow, he still had to summon a clone for training. If he didn't sleep well, how would he train?

After waking up, Hyuga Matsuba opened his eyes and felt like he hadn't recovered.

"Ah, I still couldn't hold back." Hyuga Matsuba laughed, silently saying to himself: "I'll just treat today as a day off for myself."

After hastily filling his stomach, Hyuga Matsuba went to school, his heart still racing with excitement, feeling like he was floating on air as he walked.

"Morning, Matsuba. Did you win the lottery today? Why are you so happy? Come on, share the joy!"

Nawaki suddenly sidled up.

Hyuga Matsuba was startled and said gruffly: "You nearly scared me to death!"

"You were spacing out just now and didn't notice! Smiling to yourself like an idiot."
