System Lottery

"Let's leave it at that." The Konoha Military Police Force then withdrew.

With the day's turmoil, there was little time left, and at this moment, there was only one thing that mattered to Qingyun.

That was to climb the tree before him.

The tree was tall and sturdy, a sight that made Qingyun feel somewhat desperate.

Qingyun had spent the entire afternoon climbing, and by the final moments, he had exhausted all his strength, his chakra nearly depleted as well.

Qingyun finally succeeded in ascending the tree.

His sweat had not been shed in vain; as he finally reached the top, a sense of exhilaration welled up within him.

"Finally!"

"Finally!"

Qingyun repeated the word twice, his heart surging with excitement.

"A week of hard work has finally paid off!"

Unable to contain his ecstasy, Qingyun immediately began to call upon the system.

"I'm here! Wow! Host! I didn't expect you to actually climb the tree I designated! This tree is quite tall, you know! It seems you've been working very hard!"

"However, this shows that your control over chakra has become effortless! This is excellent, indicating you've made significant progress in this area!" the system praised.

"System, stop flattering me. You know exactly why I did this; you haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you?" Qingyun asked with a smile.

"Of course! My word is law; I would never go back on my promises!"

"Congratulations, Host! You have completed your first mission! You will receive a surprise ten-draw!"

"Would the Host like to begin the draw?" the system inquired.

"Of course! Start the draw!" Qingyun said.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 10 points!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained the Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a chance to exchange for a reward!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a chance to exchange for a reward!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained points!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 100,000 Ryo!"

From the ten-draw, Qingyun gained dozens of points, three chances to exchange for rewards, the Shadow Clone Technique, the Great Fireball Technique, and some wealth.

The harvest could be considered very bountiful.

Qingyun himself was particularly thrilled.

"Host, you have three chances to exchange for rewards. Would you like to proceed with the exchange?"

"How does the exchange work?" Qingyun asked.

"I will present five rewards, you may remove two of them, and the system will randomly select one of the remaining three," the system explained.

"Alright! Let's do it!" Qingyun was ready for the draw.

"Reward 1: Multi Shadow Clone Technique."

"Reward 2: Sharingan."

"Reward 3: Gum-Gum Fruit."

"Reward 4: Armament Haki!"

"Reward 5: Six Powers!"

Hearing these rewards, Qingyun was very excited. Each one was incredibly valuable, but the Multi Shadow Clone Technique required a massive amount of chakra to use. Given Qingyun's current age, his chakra levels were nowhere near the standard required for it; using a regular Shadow Clone was already a struggle, let alone the multi-variant.

As for the Sharingan, Qingyun had been quite interested, but without the Uchiha bloodline, using it would come with many restrictions, and even forcing its use would consume a vast amount of chakra—Kakashi was a prime example.

Furthermore, Qingyun could already sense chakra, so there was no great necessity for the Sharingan.

The Gum-Gum Fruit, belonging to the protagonist Luffy in One Piece, was a Paramecia type. It might not seem very strong at first, but with the later development of Gear Second, Third, and Fourth, it became increasingly powerful. The potential of this fruit was immense and definitely worth having.

Armament Haki was something one had to learn in the later stages of One Piece, as it was the only way to touch Logia-type ability users. Additionally, hardening oneself with Armament Haki would multiply one's defense and attack power significantly. Deepa from the Kara organization in Boruto had a similar ability, but it couldn't compare to the Armament Haki from One Piece.

The Six Powers were techniques used by Marine officers and CP9 in One Piece. Mastering them would turn a person into something akin to a superhuman: Tempest Kick and Finger Pistol provided powerful combat capabilities, Geppo allowed one to walk on air, Shave enabled ultra-high-speed movement, and Kami-e allowed the body to dodge attacks as if it were paper.

After some thought, Qingyun made his choice.

"System, remove the Multi Shadow Clone Technique and the Sharingan," Qingyun said.

"Very well. Out of the remaining three... wait a moment. Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Armament Haki!"

"Armament Haki, huh? That's a pretty good thing to have." Qingyun was very satisfied; being able to use Haki in the Naruto world would certainly provide a great safeguard for his life.

"Alright, please receive it." Once the system finished speaking, Qingyun immediately felt something extra in his mind.

It was all the knowledge regarding the application of Haki.

Qingyun had merely grasped the method for using Armament Haki; he had not mastered it in an instant. To wield Haki with true perfection, he would have to rely on constant, grueling training.

"System, why didn't you let me learn Haki instantly?" Qingyun immediately demanded.

Qingyun knew that many other transmigrators seemed to learn their rewards the moment they received them. Having drawn this ability only to find he had to learn it slowly left him feeling slightly disgruntled.

"That is only natural. It is true that I am a system, but I exist only to assist you and ensure your path to becoming a powerhouse is smoother. If I could make you capable of crushing the heavens and earth in an instant, I wouldn't be a system—I would be a cheat code," the system replied righteously.

"Aren't you, though? Forget it, I understand. What you say makes sense; if I became invincible just by picking up a random reward, there would truly be no point to any of this." Qingyun nodded, finally grasping the system's intent.

Compared to everyone else in this world, Qingyun was already fortunate enough.

"By the way, you still have two draw opportunities remaining. Would you like to draw again?" the system inquired.

Qingyun thought that rather than hoarding them, he might as well draw again now! After all, the stronger he became, the more likely he was to obtain even greater rewards.

"Fine! Let's draw again!" Qingyun said.

"No problem!"

"Reward 1: Byakugan!"

"Reward 2: Mera Mera no Mi!"

"Reward 3: Supreme Grade Meito, Yoru!"

"Reward 4: Goro Goro no Mi!"

"Reward 5: Observation Haki!"

If the previous rewards had made Qingyun excited, this batch could only be described as incredibly generous.

"System! Why are the rewards this time so much more bountiful?" Qingyun asked, brimming with excitement.

"It is random. Sometimes luck is excellent, and sometimes it is abysmal. In truth, there is no distinction between good or bad items; it all depends on who uses them and how effectively they are utilized." What the system said was indeed very reasonable.

Qingyun then began to ponder.

The Byakugan was the Kekkei Genkai of the Hyuga Clan, capable of seeing through chakra pathways, which would then allow for the use of taijutsu like the Gentle Fist and Eight Trigrams Palms. However, for Qingyun at this moment, learning it was utterly useless; if he were to use it and get exposed, it might instead land him in grave danger.
