Amada looked at Asuma, pondering to himself.
Actually, by the village's standards, Asuma's strength was already sufficient to be promoted to Chunin.
The reason he hadn't been promoted was likely because Hiruzen Sarutobi had intentionally held him back.
After all, once one becomes a Chunin, they might be sent out of the village to execute more dangerous missions.
As the son of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly did not want Asuma to face those risks too early.
Kurenai appeared somewhat worried; she asked softly:
"If Amada is promoted to Chunin, does that mean he has to leave the squad to carry out other missions?"
Kushina smiled, explaining in a gentle tone:
"Don't worry. Although Amada has been promoted to Chunin, he will remain in the squad for the time being, until he is assigned other missions."
Hearing this, Kurenai's expression visibly relaxed.
She looked at Amada:
"That's good, I was worried you were going to leave."
Amada smiled, his tone relaxed:
"I couldn't bear to leave you all. We still have many missions to complete together."
Although Asuma felt a bit of resentment in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Amada would not be leaving the squad.
He patted Amada on the shoulder and said with feigned ease:
"Hmph, don't get cocky too soon! The next one to be promoted to Chunin will definitely be me!"
Amada responded with a smile:
"Then I shall wait and see."
Kushina looked at this group of vibrant young people, her eyes full of gratification.
She waved her hand and said:
"Alright, don't just stand around chatting. To celebrate Amada's promotion to Chunin, he's treating us to dinner tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Asuma immediately shouted:
"Great! Finally, a chance to really bleed him dry!"
He had already calculated how to make Amada spend "a fortune."
Kurenai also revealed an expectant smile.
Amada smiled helplessly and spread his hands:
"Spare me, you guys better not go too far."
After today's mission ended, the group arrived at the most popular barbecue restaurant in the village.
Asuma ordered a huge pile of meat without any hesitation, as if he intended to completely empty Amada's wallet.
While he gorged himself, he didn't forget to tease Amada:
"Amada, don't you dare feel bad about the cost; this is your Chunin promotion celebration feast!"
Amada looked at the plates of barbecue piled high on the table and shook his head helplessly:
"You guy, you really are shameless."
Kurenai couldn't help but say:
"Asuma, eat slowly, no one is going to steal it from you."
With his mouth stuffed with meat, Asuma responded vaguely:
"Amada is paying, it would be a waste not to eat!"
By the time dinner ended, Asuma was so full he could barely walk.
Amada and Kushina looked at him speechlessly; was all that really necessary?
After returning home, Amada took a shower and began to earnestly study the cultivation methods in the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements book.
"According to the records in the book, cultivating this special 'Qi' requires carving Qimen formations for assistance. This isn't something that can be finished in a day or two..."
Amada knew that the coming days would be busy.
Amada sank his consciousness into his mind, and the familiar Lottery System interface appeared before him.
After a year of drawing and accumulating, he had finally saved up enough for three blue 10-pulls.
Although he knew the results of the lottery were often filled with uncertainty, tonight, he decided to use all his chances at once.
"Come on, let's see what good things I can pull this time."
Amada chanted silently in his heart, then initiated the first blue 10-pull.
On the system interface, blue light began to flicker, and as the light swirled, the lottery results appeared.
Amada's expression froze instantly.
"4 blue, 4 green, 2 white... this is way too rigged!"
Amada couldn't help but cover his face with a bitter smile, feeling a wave of helplessness in his heart.
To actually pull white items from a blue-tier draw—this luck was simply outrageously bad.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and then initiated the second 10-pull of the blue tier.
Blue light flickered, and Amada felt a faint glimmer of anticipation, but the result left him even more speechless.
"3 blue, 4 green, 3 white... this time is even worse than the last!"
Amada couldn't help but grumble, beginning to suspect that the system was targeting him.
The third draw began, and Amada's mood had already become somewhat numb.
He stared at the system interface, watching the blue light flicker once more, silently praying for something good to appear.
However, when the light faded, he could only sigh helplessly.
"3 blue, 3 green, 4 white... it seems my luck really isn't in today."
Amada shook his head.
Fortunately, adding up all three draws, He had obtained a total of 10 blue items. These were all props with limited utility.
After dismantling them, he barely scraped together enough for one more blue 10-pull.
Amada looked at the system interface, silently comforting himself:
"One more chance. Maybe my luck will turn around this time."
He then initiated the final blue 10-pull.
Amada's gaze remained fixed on the screen.
"Come on, give me a surprise!" Amada chanted inwardly.
Fortunately, during this final 10-pull, a dazzling purple light flashed, and Amada finally let out a sigh of relief.
After saving up for so long, he had finally pulled a purple item, which eased the gloom in his heart slightly.
He looked closely at the results: 1 purple, 3 blue, 3 green, 3 white.
Although the overall result was still far from ideal, at least there was one purple item, so it wasn't a total loss.
Amada's gaze landed on that purple item—it was a vial of purple potion emitting a mysterious luster.
His heart stirred, and the item's detailed information immediately surfaced in his mind:
"Spectator Pathway Potion, Sequence 7, Psychiatrist."
"This..." Amada's expression instantly became complex:
"The item is good, but the problem is, this is Sequence 7! I've only ever consumed a Sequence 9 potion; skipping Sequence 8 to drink a Sequence 7, isn't that just asking for death?"
But then he recalled the scene when he first drank the Spectator potion.
At that time, he hadn't felt any discomfort at all, as if the power of the potion had naturally integrated into his body.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped into Amada's mind:
"Could it be that drinking potions in this world doesn't lead to loss of control? Or is my constitution special, allowing me to withstand the power of the potions?"
However, he quickly suppressed this thought.
After all, the power of a potion was no trivial matter, especially skipping Sequence 8 to drink a Sequence 7 potion; the risks were simply too great.
If he were to lose control, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Forget it, better not take the risk for now."
Amada sighed and tucked the purple potion into his system storage.
He decided not to touch this potion for the time being, waiting until he was more certain before considering whether to use it.
Afterward, Amada's gaze swept over the remaining blue items, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
One of the blue items was a sphere of light emitting a soft glow.
He knew that such spheres usually represented ability orbs, which might contain various experiences or low-level skills.
As long as he touched it, he would know the specific contents.
Amada reached out and gently touched the sphere.
Instantly, a stream of information flooded into his mind:
"Partial Lightning Style insights from young Uchiha Sasuke."
"Uchiha Sasuke's Lightning Style insights?" Amada muttered to himself.
As for young Sasuke, he had watched videos of the battle between Sasuke and Itachi in his past life; that final Lightning Style Kirin was so cool.
"Looks like I need to learn some Lightning Style," Amada decided inwardly.
He had previously tested his chakra nature with a chakra paper, which showed he had both Fire and Lightning affinities.
This was quite common within the Uchiha clan.
He carefully read the detailed information in his mind about Sasuke's Lightning Style insights.
He discovered it contained not only some basic Lightning Style cultivation experience, but also some techniques for manipulating the nature of Lightning Style chakra.
For Amada, this information was undoubtedly opening a new door.
Amada made plans in his heart.
"I'll start with basic Lightning Style cultivation first. Try some simple Lightning Style ninjutsu."
