Horse Talisman

Aragaki Yasushi focused his mind and drew cards once again.

[Pufferfish Specimen]

[Osprey Transport Aircraft]

[Antique Vase]

[Cookie]

[Garlic]

[Daolon Wong's Cauldron]

[Rocket Pack]

[Shiva Temple Bracelet]

[Horse Talisman]

[Frozen Tilapia]

Aragaki Yasushi swept his gaze over the first few items, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch again.

No way, did he really move a junkyard in here?

There was every kind of trash imaginable.

But when Aragaki Yasushi's eyes landed on the [Horse Talisman], all his complaints were instantly swallowed back.

Holy crap! Another gold pull?

And it's the Horse Talisman!

I truly possess the luck of the Monkey King!

One had to know, among the twelve Talismans, the Horse Talisman was the real deal.

It was several tiers above the pathetic Ox Talisman.

The noble Horse could dispel all foreign forces within the body.

Simply put, it came with built-in purification and healing.

The more Aragaki Yasushi thought about it, the more excited he became.

With the Horse Talisman, not only could his injuries heal instantly, but even minor ailments like headaches, fevers, dizziness, and pain could be cleared with a single click.

Moreover, the Horse Talisman could even grant direct immunity to Genjutsu!

After all, Genjutsu was just a negative effect caused by an external force; once the noble Horse exerted its power, the Genjutsu would naturally fail on the spot.

Mom won't have to worry about me falling for Genjutsu ever again.

If Yuhi Kurenai found out, she'd probably cry herself to death.

Beyond that, the Horse Talisman could be used on non-living objects; no matter what was broken, it could be repaired with one click.

It could be said that with the Horse Talisman in hand, he was now the strongest medical ninja in the entire Naruto World.

Even Tsunade would have to offer him a cigarette!

In the upcoming Third Shinobi World War, unless he was one-shotted and died on the spot, no matter how severe his injuries were, the Horse Talisman could heal them perfectly, without even leaving a scar!

His chances of survival were maxed out.

Forget surviving the Third Shinobi World War; Aragaki Yasushi was confident he could live until the very finale.

This card draw was a massive, absolute profit!

After gloating, Aragaki Yasushi shifted his gaze to the remaining items and examined them one by one.

Aside from the Horse Talisman, which was a trump card, there were a few other supernatural items, but most were just there to make up the numbers.

[Pufferfish Specimen: Uncle's pufferfish specimen; you can apply various strange ingredients to the specimen to create spells for various purposes.]

Aragaki Yasushi rolled his eyes.

Here we go again.

Another one of Uncle's specimens.

It was the same deal as the Lizard Specimen he drew earlier—it required applying weird ingredients to make spells, but since he didn't know any magic from Jackie Chan Adventures, this thing was no different from a piece of dried pufferfish. It was useless.

[Daolon Wong's Cauldron: Daolon Wong's cauldron, can be used to brew magic potions.]

Are we really going to keep getting cauldrons?

This thing was no different from Uncle's useless cauldron.

Although he remembered Daolon Wong using it to awaken Tarakudo, he didn't know magic. Other than boiling a pot of soup, he couldn't do anything with it. It was still useless.

[Shiva Temple Bracelet: A bracelet from a statue at the Shiva Temple; wearing this pair of bracelets allows you to grow two extra arms.]

Aragaki Yasushi rubbed his chin.

This one actually has some use.

He remembered Ah Fuk wearing them and turning into a four-armed freak; it looked quite intimidating.

As for his own Origami ability, let alone folding a four-armed Paper Person, even an eight-armed monster or a Three Heads and Six Arms deity could be handled with ease.

As for the remaining items, they were all nothing but common trash.

Aragaki Yasushi swept a glance over them and lost interest immediately.

Only the Rocket Pack and the Osprey Transport Aircraft looked somewhat impressive.

But since he could easily fold a Paper Crane or a pair of wings to fly, he had absolutely no use for those two bulky contraptions.

Suppressing the urge to complain, Aragaki Yasushi nimbly retrieved the Horse Talisman and the Ox Talisman from the system space and tucked them away carefully against his body.

In an instant, two faint glows radiated from the talismans, and their power permeated his limbs and bones.

Aragaki Yasushi felt so comfortable he nearly squinted his eyes.

The hidden injuries accumulated from training and combat were all completely repaired in that moment, leaving not even a trace behind.

Aragaki Yasushi stretched his limbs, feeling incredibly light and agile.

In his current physical state, free of any hidden injuries or ailments, surviving the Third Shinobi World War would be a breeze, and even living a long, peaceful life until his natural end would be no problem at all.

For an ordinary ninja, such a state of being free from illness and disaster was a luxury that bordered on fantasy.

After all, ordinary ninjas lacked noble bloodlines and possessed unremarkable bodies; having to endure high-intensity training and life-or-death battles year-round, it would be strange if they didn't have hidden injuries.

Over time, their bodies would inevitably break down, making them more prone to early death than ordinary people—they were, quite simply, expendable resources of war.

Unless one had access to powerful medical ninjutsu and constant, long-term care—like a top-tier medical ninja such as Tsunade—it was difficult to live a long life.

Yet there was only one Tsunade in the entire shinobi world; for an ordinary ninja, knowing even a bit of medical ninjutsu was a big deal, so what else could they hope for?

Moreover, even a cheat-level existence like Senju Hashirama, who possessed a Sage Body, was eventually worn down by high-intensity combat and passed away due to illness.

This showed just how troublesome physical damage could be.

But with the Horse Talisman, Aragaki Yasushi had bid farewell to such worries; not only could he ignore hidden injuries and illnesses, but even if he were severely wounded in battle, he could repair himself with a single click.

It could be said that whatever didn't kill him would only make him stronger.

What was even better was that the Horse Talisman could not only heal himself but others as well; from now on, he wouldn't have to worry about his friends dying from injuries or illness, nor would he have to experience the pain of losing companions again.

However, Aragaki Yasushi was a greedy soul, and he remained unsatisfied, muttering to himself.

If only he could pull the Dog Talisman as well, that would be perfect!

The Horse Talisman would handle healing, and the Dog Talisman would grant immortality; with the two combined, he would truly be undying and indestructible.

Aragaki Yasushi felt the enhancement of the Ox Talisman once more, feeling as though his body was filled with inexhaustible strength, his physical attributes having been bolstered by at least several times.

The current me could take on ten of my former selves.

Even in his Paper Person state, he was far more resilient than before, with higher stats on his panel.

After experiencing the power of the two great talismans, Aragaki Yasushi looked back at the panel and instantly wilted.

[Points: 250]

He felt as though the system was mocking him.

A blatant "two-fifty"—it was simply too much!

But on second thought, he was only 650 points away from another ten-pull; if he gritted his teeth and saved up, it wasn't impossible.

Yet, thinking about how the Jackie Chan Adventures limited banner would expire in four days, Aragaki Yasushi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Although he could choose to convert it to the permanent banner, he would lose the ten-percent discount, meaning he would have to spend an extra 100 points for every ten-pull.

Doing 100 pulls would cost him an extra 1,000 points.

That was a massive loss!

It was equivalent to throwing away an entire ten-pull for nothing.

It was truly heartbreaking.

However, after another thought, Aragaki Yasushi began to console himself.

Forget it, forget it. Out with the old, in with the new; the next limited banner might be even better!

Perhaps I'll be able to pull an ability directly; that would be better than pulling nothing but items like this.
