Flying Thunder God Technique

Naruto lay on his bed and eagerly opened the system interface—2,700 points! That enormous number instantly made him feel that all his hard work had been worth it.

Once I get on good terms with Kurama... Naruto silently swore that the first thing he would do was give that cute little Nine-Tails a good, hard cuddle!

Now it was time to taste the fruits of his labor. Twenty draws lay before him; maybe he could pull a legendary-rarity reward. Naruto unhesitatingly pressed the ten-draw button, and the system interface immediately burst into dazzling light.

Ten faintly glowing cards lined up before him. Naruto rubbed his hands together and excitedly opened the first one.

Congratulations: Chakra +5

Congratulations: 100,000 ryo (universal currency in the Naruto world)

Just as he opened the third card, the system suddenly erupted with brilliant purple light!

"Epic!"

Naruto perked up. Was his luck really this good today? Purple on the third draw? He eagerly looked at the reward.

Congratulations: Adamantine Sealing Chains

Item Description: Quality—Epic. A unique special ability of the Uzumaki Clan. When used, multiple Chakra chains extend from the user's back. They can serve not only as powerful offensive weapons, but also to create barriers and seal Tailed Beasts.

Adamantine Sealing Chains?! Wasn't that his mom's specialty? The image of Kushina suppressing Kurama with Chakra chains and extracting his Chakra in the original story surfaced in his mind.

With this ability, not only would his strength increase dramatically, but more importantly—it might become the key to building trust with Kurama. Power capable of sealing Tailed Beasts could also... make a Tailed Beast more comfortable while sealed away.

It was a technique both his mom and Karin could use... Naruto gently stroked his blond hair. Why hadn't I awakened this ability in the original story? Was having only half Uzumaki blood not pure enough?

His blond hair was completely different from the Uzumaki Clan's signature red hair. Maybe that was proof of diluted bloodline? But then he thought of Nagato, the Akatsuki Organization leader who also possessed Uzumaki blood yet had never displayed Adamantine Sealing Chains.

But Nagato had the Rinnegan... With a sealing technique on the level of Chibaku Tensei, he probably had no use for Adamantine Sealing Chains.

Shaking off those thoughts, Naruto continued opening the remaining cards. The system interface flashed repeatedly.

Congratulations: 100 Explosive Tags

Congratulations: Basic Body Technique Enhancement!

Congratulations: Make-Out Paradise (Limited Collector's Edition with Signature)

...Had something weird gotten mixed in? Naruto stared at the card glowing pink.

The card prominently displayed the cover of Jiraiya's famous dirty book, complete with a flamboyant signature in the lower-right corner. The system had even thoughtfully labeled it with the words "Limited Collector's Edition."

Damn it... This doesn't fit my character setup at all... Whatever. I'll save it and give it to Kakashi later.

Naruto put that embarrassing card out of his mind and quickly opened the remaining four, trying to distract himself with the other rewards.

The system interface flashed with new light one after another.

Congratulations: Chakra +5

Congratulations: Weapon Gift Pack (kunai, shuriken, short swords, and more)

Congratulations: Water Release Chakra affinity and mastery of nature transformation!

Naruto's eyes lit up. Again? Last time it had been Fire Release, and this time Water Release? If he gathered every nature someday, wouldn't he become a five-element ninja like that old Third Hokage?

Just as he happily imagined the future, the final card suddenly burst with dazzling purple light!

"Epic!"

The system prompt made Naruto's breath catch. Another epic?! He eagerly looked at the reward—every epic reward meant a qualitative leap. What would this one be?

Congratulations: Rasenshuriken Ninjutsu Mastery!

Item Description: The dark mirror-image ninjutsu of the Rasengan. After being infused with Nine-Tails Chakra, it possesses the terrifying power to collapse space.

Naruto's eyes widened. Nice! He could directly master a high-level ninjutsu without training?

As a movie-exclusive move, Rasenshuriken had received very little description in the original story. A dark Rasengan? He carefully recalled the details. So it needed to fuse with Nine-Tails Chakra to unleash its true power? No wonder its destructive force had been so absurd—it was based on the principles of a Tailed Beast Ball!

Looks like the system is guiding me down Uzumaki Menma's path.

Naruto had no objections to that direction, but compared to the devastating Rasenshuriken, he was more interested in Menma's other signature ability—Nine-Headed Sobek.

Those nine Summoning Beasts each possessed strength comparable to an elite Jonin... For Naruto, who had yet to grow strong, that was the most powerful method of all.

Aside from that embarrassing dirty book, this haul had already far exceeded his expectations. Naruto unhesitatingly clicked another ten-draw—save it for next time? What a joke! This was the crucial period for rapid growth. The faster he raised his strength, the better!

The system light flashed, and new rewards unfolded one after another.

Congratulations: Sealing Jutsu Talent +10%

Naruto's eyes lit up. This was an unexpected delight. Combined with the Adamantine Sealing Chains he had just obtained...

Congratulations: 10 Flying Thunder God Kunai (without formula markings)

It even had these?! He carefully inspected the ten special kunai that had appeared in the System Space. Though the sharp blades had yet to be engraved with Flying Thunder God formulas, their materials and design were identical to what he remembered from the anime.

It seems the system doesn't just want me to follow Menma's path—it also wants me to inherit Dad's legacy... But the Flying Thunder God Technique really is absurdly powerful, and its scroll is right here in Konoha! Naruto secretly calculated that if he drew a Space-Time Ninjutsu Talent later, he absolutely had to get his hands on the Flying Thunder God Technique!

The system interface continued flashing, revealing a stream of practical rewards.

Congratulations: Lightning Release Chakra affinity and mastery of nature transformation

Not bad at all. Adding it to the Water and Fire Releases from before, he had now mastered three natures.

Congratulations: Chakra +5

Congratulations: 500g Chakra Metal

Congratulations: Sealing Jutsu Talent +10%

Though these rewards were not overwhelmingly powerful, they were all quite useful. Just as Naruto was about to continue, the system suddenly erupted with unprecedented golden light!

"Legendary!"

Gold?! Naruto abruptly sat upright. A legendary reward?! Sure enough, boys who smiled had good luck!

Countless possibilities instantly flashed through his mind—the Mangekyo Sharingan? Wood Release? Or...

Congratulations: Flying Thunder God Technique (Complete Mastery)

Item Description: An S-rank Space-Time Ninjutsu invented by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and a type of Body Flicker Technique. It uses formulas to achieve instantaneous movement. The user first leaves Flying Thunder God formulas on targets, allowing the user or objects indirectly in contact with the user's Chakra to teleport instantly. Once marked, the formula cannot be erased. When full of energy, the user can repeatedly transfer massive targets. This technique may be used for offense, to shorten the distance of long-range ninjutsu, disrupt and ambush opponents, or transfer targets. It may also be used to evade danger or escape in critical situations. No hand seals are required for activation.

As the words unfolded before his eyes, Naruto nearly stopped breathing. Flying Thunder God? And the completely mastered version?! Though it was not the Rinnegan he had wanted most, the surprise still nearly made him leap off the bed. Fully mastering the Flying Thunder God at three years old?

This was an absurd windfall!

Countless tactical combinations had already appeared in his mind—paired with Shadow Clones, combined with the Rasengan, matched with the Rasenshuriken he had just obtained... Every combination increased his combat strength exponentially.

Before his joy had even settled, the final card suddenly burst with dazzling purple light!

"Epic!"

Purple again?! Naruto could hardly believe how ridiculously lucky he had been today! He eagerly looked at the reward, only to freeze the instant he saw the words—

Congratulations: Life Transfer Reincarnation

Item Description: A forbidden technique of Sunagakure. By transforming all of the user's Chakra into life force and transferring it to the recipient, this technique allows the user to sacrifice themselves to revive the dead or heal the critically wounded.
