"With the Hogyoku, who else is there to fear? Who else? Hahaha!" Hyuga Shin could no longer maintain his previous calm, breaking into a wild, arrogant laugh.
But as the saying goes, joy brings trouble, a dog's excitement ruins the pot, and a rabbit's joy invites a bullet!
The silent system suddenly popped up.
[An error occurred during the draw. This draw is void. Please redraw, Host.]
Hyuga Shin's smile froze instantly. Life is full of such ups and downs; one moment he was soaring in the heavens, and the next, the system had kicked him into the abyss.
"System, come out here! I promise I won't beat you to death," Hyuga Shin said through gritted teeth.
Chapter 11: Gate of Babylon! Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!
The system remained silent.
"I don't care, you must compensate me for this, otherwise..." Hyuga Shin realized with embarrassment that he was completely helpless against the system.
"This was your mistake, you have to provide some compensation!" Since his system didn't play by the rules, Hyuga Shin had no choice but to demand something.
After a year of getting to know it, Hyuga Shin knew his system was extremely rigid, lacking any intelligence or emotion. Trying to reason with it or play the emotional card was a complete waste of time.
Therefore, Hyuga Shin seized upon its error; after all, this was indeed the system's fault.
[The Host is correct. Reward: one compensation gift pack, 100,000 exchange points, and one draw opportunity.]
Hyuga Shin nodded in satisfaction and stopped arguing with the system. Being able to get these items was already good enough; even if the system gave him nothing, he would have had no choice. One must learn to be content.
"Let's draw again!"
The prizes remained the same. The pointer began to race, soon slowing down. This time, there were no glitches, and it stopped on Gate of Babylon.
A golden key appeared in Hyuga Shin's hand. He opened the Gate of Babylon, and golden light shone forth, looking incredibly high-class, yet there was nothing inside.
"This thing is useless for now, at best it's just a storage room," Hyuga Shin complained.
He already had the system inventory, so even as a storage room, it was redundant.
"Keep it! Maybe it will be useful later!"
Hyuga Shin put away the key and clicked to draw again. Since the system had provided a compensation draw, he might as well use it.
The prizes refreshed, totaling six items: Dojutsu: Tsukuyomi, Ultimate Taijutsu: Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, Master-level Swordsmanship, Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, Dojutsu: Yomotsu Hirasaka, and Zanpakuto: Senbonzakura.
This time, Hyuga Shin was delighted. Even the worst item, the Master-level Swordsmanship, would be of great use to him.
He hurriedly clicked to draw. The pointer spun rapidly before stopping on Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
A stream of light entered Hyuga Shin's mind; he had now mastered the basics of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
However, knowing it didn't mean he could use it. Setting aside the chakra consumption, this technique belonged to the Kekkei Mora, and he was currently unable to utilize it.
"I don't know how strong the Eight Inner Gates Formation: Night Guy is, but it definitely won't exceed the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack," Hyuga Shin mused silently.
Exiting the draw page, Hyuga Shin checked the system's compensation gift pack. Based on what he had opened last time, this one shouldn't be bad either.
Opening the pack this time, Hyuga Shin had learned his lesson and quickly closed his eyes, fearing the dazzling golden light.
Two or three seconds later, Hyuga Shin opened his eyes. There were three items: a syringe, Armament Haki, and a crate of canned beef.
Ignoring the canned beef and the familiar Armament Haki, Hyuga Shin looked at the syringe.
Super Soldier Serum (System Modified Version): Increases physical fitness tenfold with no side effects.
The description was very short, but Hyuga Shin already knew what it was—this was the serum injected into Captain America!
Hyuga Shin felt a bit disappointed. Although the serum was powerful, it fell far short of his expectations.
[Host, a reminder: this serum has been modified by the system. As long as you have not broken through to the Six Paths realm, it can increase your physical fitness tenfold.]
Hyuga Shin's eyes lit up. That was somewhat overpowered. Did that mean at the Super Kage level, he could go head-to-head with Six Paths-level characters relying on taijutsu alone?
Thinking of this, Hyuga Shin hurriedly put the serum back to keep it safe. It was better to use this later!
Using it now might feel good for a moment, but he wouldn't be able to maximize the serum's potential.
Afterward, Hyuga Shin opened the system shop and purchased the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu.
The Shadow Clone Jutsu cost 30,000 exchange points, and the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu cost 50,000. If not for the system's compensation, Hyuga Shin wouldn't have been able to afford them at all.
"I feel like this shop is just for show. The items are too expensive, and the exchange points are too scarce."
Looking at the prices in the shop, Hyuga Shin complained.
After learning Armament Haki, Hyuga Shin exited the system space. Having no intention to train, he collapsed onto his bed to sleep.
He slept until the sun was high in the sky, the warm sunlight shining on his handsome face.
Hyuga Shin rubbed his eyes, sat up, and checked the time; it was already past nine.
"It seems I can't relax. Once I relax, I become lazy."
In the past, even if he trained all day, Hyuga Shin would wake up before six. After relaxing all day yesterday, he ended up sleeping in.
He got up quickly, washed up, and not wanting to cook, he took out the canned beef from the system's compensation pack.
Hyuga Shin ate five cans in a row, patted his stomach, changed into his training gear, and grabbed the kunai and shuriken he had purchased.
He strapped on specially made lead weights and pushed the door open to head out.
The sunlight shone onto Hyuga Shin's face, causing him to squint his eyes as a hint of laziness flashed through them.
"Sigh! If only I could just have a good rest."
"Hyuga Shin, I didn't expect you to wake up so late. It's truly shameful. How can you be so slack if you want to become a powerful ninja?"
Hyuga Teppan, who was in the courtyard playing ninja games with a group of Hyuga clan brats, walked over after seeing Hyuga Shin and spoke.
"And why are you never home? It makes it impossible for me to find you when I want to play ninja games," Hyuga Teppan complained to himself.
"We don't want to play with him! Mom said he's just a loser and told us not to play with him," a child nearby retorted.
Hyuga Teppan felt awkward. On one side were his playmates, and on the other was his "little brother" (in his own mind); he felt very uncomfortable.
After considering it for a moment, Hyuga Teppan chose his playmates.
Hyuga Shin smiled; he wouldn't hold a grudge against this group of children. It was already the twenty-sixth year of Konoha.
The Second Shinobi World War would take place in the thirty-second year of Konoha, meaning there were only six years left.
