Ryujin Jakka

After flattering the system for quite a while, Hyuga Matsuba looked at his increased Lottery chances and pressed the draw button.

Matsuba had never saved up Lottery attempts. There was no difference whether he saved them or not, so he might as well enjoy himself now.

The items drawn from each Lottery were different and entirely dependent on luck. Trying to make a living off the Lottery was simply a fantasy.

As before, Matsuba began the draw. Having drawn many times already, he was now familiar with the process.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Five items appeared on the wheel: a frying pan, a Golden Wing Handgun, an AWM, Hadō #90: Black Coffin, and Balala the Fairies' Magic Wand.

Matsuba did not know what to say as he looked at them. What were that frying pan and Balala the Fairies' Magic Wand doing here? Had they wandered in from the wrong show?

As he remembered it, wasn't that magic wand something a fairy used to cast magic only after transforming? Besides, he was not a fairy. If he drew that thing, he would be embarrassed just holding it.

Looking at the others, such as the handgun and the AWM, Matsuba was not particularly interested in them either.

"This Lottery really has everything. Anything can show up on the wheel. Let's begin!"

The wheel began spinning. Matsuba watched the pointer nervously, and at last, amid his eager anticipation, the result came out: Hadō #90: Black Coffin.

"Holy shit, not bad! I actually got to be lucky for once? Next draw!"

Matsuba was very satisfied with the result, because after this refresh, this was the item he wanted most.

For the second draw, the wheel refreshed again. This time, four prizes appeared: Hexagram: Mountain-Shattering Strike, Pipi Fruit (System-Modified Version), Monochrome: Ban Yechō Blade, and Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

Although there were fewer prizes this time, their quality had improved. Matsuba promptly began the draw.

In the end, he drew Hexagram: Mountain-Shattering Strike. It was one of the highest-level Ninjutsu in the Hyuga Clan, but Matsuba did not need it much now, because its effects were similar to the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Even though he did not really want it, the result was already decided, and he was not allowed to try again.

If he could return it, Matsuba might have done so, but the system did not allow it.

"It's fine. In any case, this is an extremely powerful Ninjutsu. It can even punch through mountains, so I can't underestimate it!"

For the final draw, the wheel refreshed. This was the fewest prizes Matsuba had ever encountered in a draw: only three items were on it.

There was absolutely no pattern to this Lottery function. Every refresh depended on luck. Matsuba's highest record seemed to have been more than ten items.

There were only three this time, which sounded pitifully few, but every single one was a treasure.

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

There was only one way to describe these three treasures: awesome! No matter what the result was this time, Matsuba felt he had struck it rich.

"If I really draw Teacher Swordfish's abilities, will I lose my hair and go bald too? Or will I become as ugly as him?" Matsuba began to worry.

Teacher Swordfish's strength was no joke, but every gain came with a loss. He was undeniably outstanding in terms of ability, but he had become bald, and his love life seemed especially rocky as well.

Matsuba desperately wanted Teacher Swordfish's abilities, but if it meant suffering setbacks in romance or anything like that, he was one hundred percent unwilling.

Cold sweat formed in Matsuba's palms as the final draw began. The pointer spun again, and after a long time, it stopped on the Zanpakuto Ryujin Jakka.

The anxiety in Matsuba's heart finally eased. A blade instantly appeared before him, and he quickly reached out to catch it.

The blade was extremely long, and its hilt was not short either. It looked rather different from Yamamoto's sword, with many distinct features. Holding such a large blade made him look quite conspicuous.

Matsuba was only a child now, so this blade did not suit him yet. He would have to wait until later. At his current height, even taking the sword out would be a problem.

But that did not discourage Matsuba. If one day he could use this Zanpakuto, would he not become invincible throughout the Naruto World?

However, it was easier said than done. Using this blade would not be simple, for it was one of the strongest fire-type weapons.

When Matsuba reached out and caught the blade just now, he could feel the energy within his body shifting. The blade seemed connected to the energy inside him, tightly linked to it.

Matsuba examined the blade and sensed that the weapon had already fused into his body, making it convenient for him to use this Zanpakuto in the future.

"But how am I supposed to release this blade's seal?" Matsuba was at a loss.

The necessary step in using a Zanpakuto was releasing its seal. Otherwise, its true power would not be revealed. It would merely be a very sharp tool, not a truly formidable weapon.

"Ah, I'll think about it later. Now that I have this sword, why should I worry about never being able to release its seal?" Matsuba carefully put it away and closed the system.

Relaxing his body, he looked outside at the large, round moon. Matsuba could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

This Lottery had been too exciting. Not only had he obtained the Zanpakuto Ryujin Jakka, but also Hadō #90: Black Coffin. These two treasures had become Matsuba's favorites.

If he had only drawn Black Coffin, he would not have been so excited. The main reason was that he had also drawn the Zanpakuto Ryujin Jakka. That was an enormous surprise.

There had not been many moments this exciting. Aside from when he obtained the Tenseigan last time, this was the only other time he had felt so thrilled. When he had first transmigrated here, he had been so happy that he did not know what to do.

Only after a very long time did Matsuba's heart finally calm down.

"My abilities are still insufficient. I have this sword now, but its seal hasn't been released, so it's not very useful in my hands." Matsuba felt somewhat disappointed.

That was not entirely true. This Zanpakuto had been modified and upgraded by the system, and it could be activated by consuming Chakra. However, for such a powerful weapon, the amount it consumed would definitely be no small sum.

It was still too early to use this sword in battle.

"Ah, whatever! I already have something this powerful. Maybe even more powerful treasures will be waiting for me in the future. At that point, I'll probably be so excited I won't be able to eat!"

After barely calming himself down, Matsuba closed his eyes tightly and prepared to sleep.

Tomorrow, he still had to summon clones for training. If he did not sleep well, how was he supposed to train tomorrow?

After waking from a night's sleep, Matsuba opened his eyes and felt as though he had not recovered at all.

"Ah, I still can't hold it in," Matsuba said with a smile, silently telling himself, "I'll count today as a holiday for myself."

After hastily filling his stomach, Matsuba went to school. He was still so excited that he nearly felt like flying as he walked down the road.

"Morning, Matsuba. Did you win the lottery today? Why are you so happy? Hurry up and share the joy!"

Nawaki suddenly leaned in close.

Matsuba jumped in fright and said gruffly, "You nearly scared me to death!"

"You were spacing out and didn't notice. You were standing here grinning to yourself like an idiot."
