Might Duy didn't laugh carefree as he usually did. His expression was unusually serious.

He gave Aragaki Yasushi a slight nod, his tone tinged with worry. "That's right. We came to see Kakashi."

"That child lost his father a few years ago, and he was already having a hard time."

"Now another comrade who fought alongside him has died on a mission. I'm worried he might do something rash and get himself into trouble."

Though Might Duy usually seemed a little dim and spent all day shouting about youth,

he wasn't actually missing a few screws.

He genuinely cared about his fellow villagers.

Aragaki Yasushi quickly spoke up. "Then I won't keep you. I'll head back first."

At that, Might Duy scratched his head, his usual smile returning to his face as he patted Aragaki Yasushi on the shoulder.

"You and Kakashi are the same age, and you can talk to him. When you have time, try to talk some sense into him. Don't let him get stuck in a rut. It'd be bad if something happened to him."

Aragaki Yasushi nodded and agreed. "I understand, Teacher Duy. I'll try to talk to him when I have the chance."

After parting ways with Might Duy and the others, Aragaki Yasushi returned to his tent. He shut the door and eagerly took out the Poke Ball, turning it over and over in his hands.

A bold idea occurred to him.

Could he use this Poke Ball to catch a Tailed Beast?

He stroked his chin, pondering.

If his guess was right, before long Uchiha Madara, that old fox, would likely do just as he had in the original story: manipulate the Mist Anbu into capturing Rin and implanting Isobu, the Three-Tails, inside her.

If the Poke Ball could catch a Tailed Beast, couldn't he take the opportunity to get involved and capture the Three-Tails?

Doing so would attract the attention of old man Madara, and it carried some risk. But on second thought, it didn't seem all that frightening.

That old fox was already halfway into his grave. He probably didn't have much strength left to cause trouble.

As long as he was careful and kept his whereabouts hidden, he should be able to handle it.

After all, it was a Tailed Beast!

Catching one would be an absolute jackpot. A little risk was worth it!

The potential reward was just too great.

But then Aragaki Yasushi thought it over and started to worry.

A regular Poke Ball might have a hard time catching an existence on the Three-Tails' level. He'd have to beat the Three-Tails up first, or he'd never catch it.

But asking him to fight the Three-Tails as he was now would be like asking the impossible.

Aragaki Yasushi couldn't help wishing to himself:

I hope I draw a Master Ball that's guaranteed to catch its target.

If he got one, catching the Three-Tails would be a piece of cake!

At that thought, Aragaki Yasushi hurriedly opened the system panel and checked his points. His face immediately fell.

[Points: 400]

He was still 500 points short of a ten-pull. Looks like he'd have to take on missions like crazy and earn as many points as he could!

Aragaki Yasushi also remembered that the Pokemon limited-time pool would disappear in just over twenty days.

Although it would be replaced by the Permanent Pool afterward, the Jackie Chan Adventures pool would disappear!

That wouldn't do. Aragaki Yasushi wouldn't miss out on the Jackie Chan Adventures pool, even if it killed him.

After all, he'd only drawn two Talismans so far, and he still hadn't gotten the Dog Talisman he wanted most.

Compared to the Pokemon pool, Aragaki Yasushi was still unwilling to give up the Jackie Chan Adventures pool.

Aside from Talismans and masks, the Jackie Chan Adventures pool also had an overpowered item like the Book of Ages!

Just thinking about the Book of Ages made Aragaki Yasushi's eyes light up.

It was a divine artifact capable of rewriting everything. If he drew it, he could become the author right on the spot!

Then he'd ascend straight to the narrative level. Uchiha Madara, the Tailed Beasts—he could write them however he wanted!

Although it might come with a side effect.

Those who toyed with history would eventually be toyed with by history.

But he absolutely had to get his hands on such an overpowered item.

Two days later, Aragaki Yasushi returned to Konoha Camp, dusty and weary.

He hadn't even caught his breath before rushing straight to the mission office. After quickly turning in his mission, he eagerly opened the system panel.

[Points: 900]

He finally had enough!

Aragaki Yasushi was thrilled.

For the past two days, he'd been a total workaholic, completing two missions back-to-back.

One was a patrol mission, which earned him 200 points.

The other was a reconnaissance mission, which earned him 300 points.

With that, he'd finally saved up enough points for a ten-pull in the limited-time pool. He no longer had to stare at the pool and drool!

Aragaki Yasushi hurried back to his quarters. His eyes gleaming, he rubbed his hands together expectantly.

Let's try my luck again. This time, I'm definitely getting something good!

Draw! Ten-pull!

He repeated the words fervently in his mind, and the system panel immediately flashed with dazzling summoning animations.

One ray of light after another streaked past, and ten items appeared in succession.

[Great Ball] [Ultra Ball] [Small Bamboo Shoot] [Large Bamboo Shoot] [Rage Bun] [Baguette] [Mustard] [Charge] [Million Ton Punch] [Macaroni]

Aragaki Yasushi's eyes widened, and he perked right up.

Poke Balls! Two of them!

Afraid he'd read it wrong, he hurriedly opened the descriptions and brought them close to inspect.

[Great Ball: A Poke Ball that catches Pokemon more easily than a regular Poke Ball. Its performance is decent.] [Ultra Ball: A Poke Ball that catches Pokemon more easily than a Great Ball. Its performance is excellent.]

Aragaki Yasushi stroked his chin, his expression caught between joy and disappointment.

Not bad, not bad. They were both better than regular Poke Balls.

Too bad he hadn't gotten a Master Ball that was guaranteed to catch its target!

Then catching the Three-Tails would've been a sure thing!

The Great Ball and Ultra Ball had pretty good catch rates, but as long as there was a chance of failure, he couldn't feel at ease.

But when Aragaki Yasushi looked at the other rewards, he cheered up again.

Aside from the Poke Balls, this draw hadn't been bad at all. He'd even gotten two moves!

He hurriedly opened their descriptions.

[Charge: Enters a charged state, doubling the power of Electric-type moves. The charged state ends after an Electric-type move is used.] [Million Ton Punch: Attacks an opponent with a powerful punch, dealing heavy damage.]

Aragaki Yasushi immediately drew on the power within him and tried to get a feel for the two new moves. The corners of his mouth lifted.

Charge could strengthen his Thunderbolt and Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

If he used Charge while his enemy was using Lightning Release, or if he encountered a thunderstorm, the power of his moves would increase even further.

Wasn't this tailor-made for countering the Cloud Ninja?

Next time he ran into them, he could activate Charge and go straight at them.

Any damage the enemy dealt to him could be returned in a single move.

It felt amazing.

Million Ton Punch didn't have any fancy tricks. It was all about keeping things simple and direct.

A pure display of overwhelming stats.

And with Aragaki Yasushi's body already enhanced by the Ox Talisman, the power of this move would be absolutely terrifying.

If he had to rank them, Million Ton Punch was probably his strongest offensive move at the moment.
