"Fool, right now I only want things useful in the Naruto World. Delete everything else." Hyuga Tatsumi commanded the system.

The list before him began to change again. Many items vanished, leaving only those that met his requirements.

Taking a quick look, Tatsumi discovered a harsh reality: these thirty thousand Exchange Points could at most buy a B-rank ninjutsu. The options included only Shadow Clone Jutsu, Fire Style, Head-Clinging, Lightning Style, False Darkness, and similar techniques.

Those higher-level ninjutsu didn't appear on this list at all, let alone the super-powerful world-ending ones.

This was deeply disappointing to Tatsumi. But ninjutsu at this level was something only jonin could obtain. Spending thirty thousand Exchange Points to buy one now seemed acceptable.

Tatsumi's gaze continued downward, searching further. These B-rank or whatever-rank ninjutsu held too little appeal for him now—they simply couldn't catch his eye. What mattered most was finding the Chakra Refinement Technique.

After some effort searching, Tatsumi finally found what he wanted. Fortunately, the Chakra Refinement Technique wasn't something every ninja absolutely needed, so it didn't cost many Exchange Points.

One thousand Exchange Points could get him the Chakra Refinement Technique. Without a second thought, Tatsumi clicked to confirm the exchange.

After the exchange succeeded, he continued browsing the list. Nothing else held any appeal for him—the Chakra Refinement Technique was enough.

But he still needed to buy something to improve his strength, right? After some consideration, Tatsumi chose to spend ten thousand Exchange Points on Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu.

This was a C-rank ninjutsu. Though its rank wasn't high, its power was great. If he amplified the chakra to a certain degree, he could even raise the technique's rank, naturally increasing its power as well. Compared to other ninjutsu, this one offered better value for the points.

After purchasing everything, the shop page closed, and a lottery page appeared before Tatsumi's eyes.

Unable to resist, Tatsumi clicked the icon. Immediately, a large spinning wheel appeared before him, with two big characters in the center: "Lottery."

Tatsumi examined the interface more closely. At the bottom of the page, it showed he had three lottery chances remaining.

Understanding dawned on Tatsumi, and he asked, "Hey, system, is this your gift to me?"

[Yes! The system will periodically gift you rewards, generally once a year. Each time, you'll receive one lottery chance and ten thousand Exchange Points.]

A cold mechanical voice sounded. The system had finally started interacting.

Tatsumi looked satisfied. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Besides you gifting them to me, what other ways can I get these Exchange Points and lottery chances?"

But this time, the system didn't answer. Its inconsistent responses were truly baffling.

"Might as well use the lottery. It's not like keeping these things does me any good. Lucky or unlucky, let's see what this draw brings!" Tatsumi steeled himself and finally made his decision.

Then Tatsumi began his lottery journey.

When he clicked the lottery button, it felt like some mysterious force pulled him into another world. The sky turned gloomy, and stars still twinkled above.

The spinning wheel changed too. Eight different items appeared on the large wheel, each occupying one-eighth of the circle.

Tatsumi's eyes roamed over the eight items, his breath catching.

The first thing to catch his eye was a longsword that looked quite aged. Unlike that rusty longsword from before, this blade gleamed sharp and fierce, radiating cold light.

"Is this actually Ryujin Jakka? I thought this thing only appeared in my dreams. Old Man Yamamoto's Zanpakuto—if I draw this, I'll be cheating the system."

Tatsumi was so excited he could fly. This blade had a legendary reputation, its power anything but ordinary. Though outsiders' opinions on it varied without consensus, regardless, this sword always ranked among the top and never fell from its pedestal.

After calming down a bit, Tatsumi continued looking. The second item was also a sword, strangely of the same type.

But unlike the first, this blade didn't spark much interest in Tatsumi. He didn't know how to judge it. Not that it was weak—rather, it had too many restrictions and limited use in the Naruto World.

This sword was called Muramasa. It had once been considered the strongest Zanpakuto, but that was only within the Bleach World. In the Naruto World, to be honest, it was completely useless.

His gaze moved to the third item—a pair of eyes. Like Tatsumi's blue Tenseigan, they were also blue, but slightly different. Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Awesome things needed no explanation.

Tatsumi suddenly had a thought: could these awesome Mystic Eyes of Death Perception kill that Kaguya Otsutsuki? Legend said she possessed an immortal, indestructible existence.

Then he looked at the next item—a Devil Fruit. This had once been called the strongest Logia-type, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. It had always been controversial, whether it truly was the strongest, with everyone having different opinions.

But in Tatsumi's heart, this thing held little appeal for him. Not that it was useless—rather, its weakness was too great. Devil Fruits feared seawater. In the Naruto World, under certain conditions, this weakness could be fatal. He didn't want such a vulnerability.

The other four were Observation Haki, Sword Mastery, Rasengan, and Marine Six Powers: Soru.

These eight items all looked decent, each with its own characteristics. At least he wasn't completely unlucky. Before entering the lottery, Tatsumi had seen that this lottery could give anything—these items were already excellent. Other possibilities included wooden sticks, matches—things that would make you want to die if you drew them.

At least these eight items were all useful to him.

"Heaven bless me! Heaven bless me! Please, grant me Ryujin Jakka! If not, please give me the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception! If I get either, I'll do anything!"

After silently praying, his finger pressed the start button. The wheel began spinning rapidly, so fast that just watching it made Tatsumi dizzy and nauseous.

"Is this thing rushing to attend a family funeral? Is this a bug? Or is it cheating so I can't see where the pointer lands?"

Tatsumi grumbled. Amid his complaints, the pointer gradually became visible, spinning slower and slower. The result was about to appear, and Tatsumi's heart tightened.

The pointer turned slowly. Tatsumi's heart pounded wildly. The tip passed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, passed the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, passed everything, and slowly approached Ryujin Jakka.

At that moment, Tatsumi's heart felt like it would leap out of his throat. What incredible luck—drawing Ryujin Jakka on the first try! This was reaching the peak of life! With this blade, he could cut down anyone who came! All those monsters and demons would die beneath his feet.

But joy came and went quickly. Sure enough, he'd celebrated too soon and gotten carried away. After pointing at Ryujin Jakka, the pointer didn't stop. It continued moving forward, finally landing on what Tatsumi ranked dead last in his heart—Rasengan.

As the characters "Rasengan" slowly faded, the real sensation of the technique gradually transferred into Tatsumi's body.

Unfortunately, Rasengan also required chakra consumption to activate. If he had chakra now, Tatsumi could use it.

Tatsumi's face darkened. This thing wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either—and he already knew its training method.

According to Tatsumi's original plan, after obtaining the Chakra Refinement Technique, he would refine some chakra and eventually develop Rasengan himself, killing two birds with one stone.

But now he'd gotten it by accident. If he had to say what use this thing had, at best it saved him time—he wouldn't have to wait until after refining chakra to practice and develop it. Beyond that, he couldn't list a single advantage.

"I really am... forget it, forget it. I'll just treat it as saving time for training. Everything is fate; heaven decides what's best." Tatsumi comforted himself. There was nothing more to say now.

The thing had already been received, already appeared in his mind. Could he dig out the Rasengan knowledge from his brain? No way. He had to let it go.

"It's fine. I still have two more chances. At least I saw Ryujin Jakka. That makes me lucky. The next draw will definitely be good. This one was just a test. Next time, I'll get something great."

Though his heart was bleeding, Tatsumi still tried to control his facial expression, ready to try again.
