100 Consecutive Draws

"Damn it...! And this is what they call the pinnacle of the Ninja World? Bah!"

Deep underground, in a damp, gloomy space overgrown with tangled tree roots, lay the base of Root.

Shimura Danzō slammed the scroll onto the ground, his eyes burning with rage. He had expected this plan to succeed easily, allowing him to secure the talismans for himself. He never imagined that old trash Hanzo would be so incompetent, unable to even defeat a few brats!

His train of thought was bizarrely singular: he believed "everything was Hanzo's fault." If only Hanzo had defeated the Akatsuki, he could have seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, claiming both the Horse Talisman and the Rinnegan for himself. By then... forget about being Hokage! The entire Konoha would be led by him, Shimura Danzō, to the absolute peak of the Ninja World!

But the plan had gone down the drain! Most importantly, the talisman had ended up in the hands of that old monkey, Sarutobi Hiruzen! This was nothing short of a massive obstacle on his path to becoming Hokage!

"Heh heh... Is Lord Danzō in a fit of rage? Perhaps I should come back later..."

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare approach while Shimura Danzō was in a fury, but their cold, serpentine guest was a different story. Orochimaru walked in as casually as if he were pushing open the door to his own home.

"Hold it! Orochimaru! You had better be bringing good news!"

It was impossible for Shimura Danzō not to have noticed Orochimaru; after all, he was a "Kage-level expert," and such cold, sinister chakra was one-of-a-kind in all of Konoha.

"Heh heh, naturally."

"I assume Lord Danzō remembers the child I mentioned who possesses an extremely high compatibility with Wood Release cells?"

"With the help of a little power from the Horse Talisman, I allowed the child's cells—which were being constantly devoured by the First Hokage's cells—to return to their peak. There has even been a case of reverse-fusion with the Wood Release cells."

As everyone knew, Orochimaru's hands were never idle. After retrieving the Horse Talisman, he didn't hand it over to the village immediately. Instead, he dove into his laboratory to secretly conduct human experiments with Wood Release on the boy who was still known as "Tenzo."

The results were unexpectedly smooth. Tenzo's cells fused perfectly with the Wood Release cells without any rejection, and his Wood Release was even more powerful than what was seen in the original Hokage records.

"Another talisman...!"

Although hearing that the Wood Release experiment was a success managed to squeeze a trace of a smile onto Shimura Danzō's gloomy face, the moment he heard the talisman had played a role, he couldn't control his inner rage. "That talisman belonged to me!"

After a bout of impotent fury, Shimura Danzō followed Orochimaru to his secret laboratory. Pointing to the boy curled up in the corner of the room, clutching his knees, Orochimaru said, "Tenzo, this is Lord Danzō. From now on, he is your superior. Say hello..."

"G-good day, Lord Danzō. I... I am Tenzo..."

The boy was timid and trembling, his eyes filled with terror. He looked up at Shimura Danzō with a shaky voice, but as soon as he was met with Shimura Danzō's cold, piercing glare, he immediately shrank back and lowered his head.

"People of 'Root' do not need names. From today on, your codename is 'Kinoe'!"

The next day, after Qian Yu did a few leg kicks in bed as his morning cardio, he slowly crawled up to check his system panel.

"Excellent!"

Jack had successfully assassinated Hanzo, and combined with the massive amount of Dimensional Points provided by the Twelve Guardian Ninja and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Qian Yu had feasted well.

He was wealthy now; his Dimensional Points were enough for a hundred-pull draw. The question was: should he spend all his saved draws at once, or pull a little at a time?

Qian Yu decided that, of course, it was time to...

Go all out!

"My turn! Draw cards!"

As Qian Yu's fingertips tapped rapidly across the system screen, colorful lights overlapped and reflected onto his face—

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the A-rank item card: "Pig Talisman"!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the A-rank item card: "Tiger Talisman"!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the A-rank item card: "Sheep Talisman"!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the C-rank character card: "Squidward"!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the B-rank ability card: "Observation Haki"!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the A-rank item card: "Glint-Glint Fruit"! (Automatically master all techniques of the Glint-Glint Fruit upon consumption)]

"As expected of me! Four purples in a hundred pulls!"

If this were a typical gacha game, Qian Yu would probably go insane if he didn't get a gold card in a hundred pulls, but in this system where the drop rate was far lower than an asteroid hitting Earth, four purples were already a decent result.

Excluding useless items like "Uncle's favorite hot tea," this set of pulls from the Jackie Chan Adventures series had yielded three talismans at once. "Now I can continue the Twelve Talismans arc..."

First was the Pig Talisman. Who, in their childhood, hadn't fantasized about unleashing "laser eyes" just like Fu?

[Item Card] Pig Talisman [Rank] A [Description] From the world of Jackie Chan Adventures, one of the twelve talismans of the Fire Demon Shendu, representing the divine power of laser eyes. [Ability] Allows the holder to fire destructive, scorching laser beams from their eyes.

Then there was the Tiger Talisman. Although its performance in Jackie Chan Adventures was average, its ability to separate yin and yang, good and evil, and maintain balance was extremely powerful in the Ninja World.

For instance, if you gave the Tiger Talisman to a powerhouse and let them split into two, you would have double the combat power. It could even be used on Tailed Beasts; its value was even higher than the technique Minato used to split the Nine-Tails in the original series.

[Item Card] Tiger Talisman [Rank] A [Description] From the world of Jackie Chan Adventures, one of the twelve talismans of the Fire Demon Shendu, representing the divine power of yin-yang balance. [Ability] The Tiger Talisman can balance the power between various talismans or split a person into good and evil sides.

Finally, there was the Sheep Talisman. The power of the soul—profound and mysterious. Perhaps it could be used for intelligence gathering?

[Item Card] Sheep Talisman

[Description] Originates from the Jackie Chan Adventures world, one of the twelve talismans of the Fire Demon Shendu, representing the divine power of the soul.

[Ability] Grants the holder the ability of astral projection. The detached soul can pass through any physical obstacle, its movements are not restricted by gravity, and it cannot be perceived by ordinary living beings. It can also enter others' dreams to deliver messages (when combined with certain special incantations, it can forcibly knock a person's soul out of their body).

The introduction of the talisman concluded; next up were Squidward, the Glint-Glint Fruit, and Observation Haki.

[Character Card] Squidward

[Level] C (Special)

[Description] A blue octopus living in Bikini Bottom.

[Ability] Clarinet playing (terrible), painting.

[Item Card] Glint-Glint Fruit

[Level] A

[Description] A Logia-type Devil Fruit from the One Piece world. After consumption, it allows the user's constitution to become light, turning them into a shining human capable of being immune to physical attacks.

[Ability] Light manipulation, elementalization, laser beams, light-speed kicks, Ama no Murakumo, Yata Mirror, Yasakani no Murakumo.

[Ability Card] Observation Haki

[Level] B

[Description] One of the three types of Haki from the One Piece world. It strengthens the five senses to perceive the presence of living beings, emotional changes, and predict danger.

[Ability] The basic function is to detect the movements of enemies outside the field of vision, predict attack trajectories, and perceive the strength of living beings. When trained to the peak level, one can even briefly foresee the future.

"Hah! It really is a case of getting exactly what I need!"

The Glint-Glint Fruit could be combined with SpongeBob to fulfill the lie of Chixing's "General Yellow Sponge," and since Squidward had also arrived, a future acquisition of the "Ice-Ice Fruit" would allow for the formation of the true "Three Admirals of Bikini Bottom."

As for Observation Haki, it was a simple and brutal way to boost one's own strength, which was also excellent.
