System Lottery

"That settles it." The Konoha Military Police Force soon withdrew.

After all that commotion, there was very little of the day left. At that moment, Qingyun still had only one thing on his mind.

That was climbing the tree in front of him.

The tree was tall and sturdy, and just looking at it made Qingyun feel a little hopeless.

Qingyun had spent the entire afternoon climbing. At the very last moment, he finally managed it with every last bit of his strength, and he had nearly used up all his chakra.

Qingyun finally made it to the top of the tree.

All that sweat hadn't gone to waste. When he finally reached the top, an overwhelming sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

"Finally!"

"Finally!"

Qingyun said it twice, his heart pounding with excitement.

"A week's worth of effort has finally paid off!"

Unable to contain his joy, Qingyun immediately called out to the system.

"Here I am! Wow, host! I can't believe you really climbed the tree I picked out for you! It's so tall! You must have worked incredibly hard!"

"Still, this proves you've gotten the hang of controlling your chakra! That's great. It means you've made a lot of progress in that area!" the system praised.

"System, you don't have to praise me. You should know why I did this. You haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you?" Qingyun asked with a smile.

"Of course! When I give my word, I keep it. I would never go back on a promise!"

"Congratulations, host! You've completed your first mission! You'll receive a surprise ten-pull!"

"Would you like to start the draw?" the system asked.

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

"Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations! You've received 10 points!"

"Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations, you've received the Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations, you've received a chance to exchange for a reward!"

"Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations, you've received a chance to exchange for a reward!"

"Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations, you've received points!"

"Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations, you've received 100,000 ryo!"

From the ten-pull, Qingyun had gained several dozen points, three chances to exchange for rewards, the Shadow Clone Technique, the Great Fireball Technique, and some money.

It was a very generous haul.

Qingyun was especially excited.

"Host, you have three chances to exchange for a reward. Would you like to use them?"

"How does the exchange work?" Qingyun asked.

"I'll present five rewards. You can eliminate two, and the system will randomly select one of the remaining three," the system explained.

"All right! Let's do it!" Qingyun was ready to draw.

"Reward one: Multi Shadow Clone Technique."

"Reward two: Sharingan."

"Reward three: Gum-Gum Fruit."

"Reward four: Armament Haki!"

"Reward five: Six Powers!"

Qingyun was thrilled by the rewards. Every one of them was valuable. However, the Multi Shadow Clone Technique required a massive amount of chakra. Because of his age, Qingyun's chakra was nowhere near enough to meet the requirements. Even using the Shadow Clone Technique was already a strain, let alone the Multi Shadow Clone Technique.

As for the Sharingan, Qingyun had been interested in it, but without Uchiha blood, using it would come with many restrictions. Even if he managed to use it, it would consume a tremendous amount of chakra. Kakashi was a perfect example.

Besides, Qingyun could already sense chakra, so he didn't have much need for the Sharingan.

The Gum-Gum Fruit was the fruit eaten by Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece. It was a Paramecia. At first, it didn't seem especially powerful, but after Luffy developed Gear Second, Gear Third, and even Gear Fourth, it became stronger and stronger. The fruit had tremendous potential and was absolutely worth having.

Armament Haki was essential in the later parts of One Piece, since only Haki users could touch Logia ability users. On top of that, hardening yourself with Armament Haki greatly increased both your defense and attack power. Deepa of the Kara organization in Boruto had a similar ability, though it still couldn't compare to the Armament Haki of the pirates.

The Six Powers were techniques used by Navy officers and CP9 in One Piece. Mastering them could make a person seem superhuman. Tempest Kick and Finger Pistol had formidable combat power, Geppo let people walk through the air, Shave enabled high-speed movement, and Kami-e let the body dodge attacks like a sheet of paper.

After thinking it over, Qingyun made his choice.

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

"All right. The remaining three... Please wait. Congratulations, host! Congratulations, you've received Armament Haki!"

"Armament Haki? That's pretty good, too." Qingyun was quite satisfied. Being able to use Haki in the Naruto world would certainly give him a much better chance of survival.

"All right, receive it now." After the system said this, Qingyun immediately felt something new appear in his mind.

It was knowledge about how to use Haki.

Qingyun had simply learned how to use Armament Haki. He hadn't mastered it in an instant. To use Haki with complete skill, he would have to train himself relentlessly.

"System, why didn't I master Haki instantly?" Qingyun asked at once.

Qingyun knew that many other transmigrators instantly learned their rewards as soon as they received them. He'd drawn a reward, yet he still had to learn it himself. It left him a little annoyed.

"That's only natural. I am a system, but I'm only here to assist you and help you become stronger more smoothly. If I could make you invincible in an instant, I wouldn't be a system. I'd be a cheat," the system replied, sounding righteous.

"Aren't you one? Whatever, I understand. You have a point. If any reward could make me invincible, that really wouldn't be much fun." Qingyun nodded, understanding what the system meant.

Compared with everyone else in this world, Qingyun was already lucky enough.

"By the way, you still have two chances to draw. Would you like to draw again?" the system asked.

Qingyun thought that instead of saving them up, he might as well use one now. After all, the stronger he became, the more likely he was to obtain even more rewards.

"All right! Let's draw again!" Qingyun said.

"No problem!"

"Reward one: Byakugan!"

"Reward two: Mera Mera no Mi!"

"Reward three: Supreme Grade Sword, Yoru!"

"Reward four: Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"

"Reward five: Observation Haki!"

If the previous rewards had thrilled Qingyun, these could only be described as lavish.

"System! Why are the rewards this time so incredible?" Qingyun asked excitedly.

"It's random. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're unlucky. These things aren't really good or bad. What matters most is who uses them and how well," the system said. It made a lot of sense.

Qingyun began to think again.

The Byakugan was the Kekkei Genkai of the Hyuga Clan. It could see through the chakra network, allowing its user to use Taijutsu like Gentle Fist and Eight Trigrams Palms. But learning it would be useless to Qingyun right now. If he used it and exposed himself, he might put himself in danger instead.
