[Ding, congratulations, you have obtained one Chakra Recovery Pill.] [Ding, congratulations, you have obtained one Chakra Recovery Pill.] [Ding, congratulations, you have obtained one Intermediate Healing Pill.] [Ding, congratulations, you have obtained one Intermediate Space Scroll.]
Treasure chests glowing with light were opened one after another.
Yet, this string of cheap prizes made Natsume's youthful face twist in frustration.
Even though he was born with the luck of a loser.
This was still a ten-pull, for heaven's sake!
He had spent 888 gold coins; there was no reason for it to be this much of a scam.
Not a single good item, huh?
You damn system, don't force me to wreck you!
Natsume cursed angrily in his mind.
Soon, whether his cursing had taken effect or the damn system had finally developed a conscience, it happened.
When he opened the ninth treasure chest.
A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted, illuminating Natsume's consciousness and making it shine brilliantly—a truly joyous sight.
I hit the jackpot!
Natsume's spirits were instantly lifted, and he cheered up.
[Ding, congratulations, you have obtained the S-rank Space-Time Ninjutsu, 'Flying Thunder God Technique'!]
A ninjutsu scroll radiating golden light rose slowly from the chest.
It quickly transformed into a streak of light and merged into Natsume's mind.
In just a moment.
Natsume had mastered this powerful S-rank space-time ninjutsu!
It was nothing short of a miracle!
One must know, this was an S-rank ninjutsu invented by the Second Hokage of Konoha, Tobirama, and it was one of the rare few that wasn't classified as a forbidden technique. Theoretically, any high-ranking Konoha official or direct disciple of the Hokage would have the opportunity to access and learn this technique.
However, from the time the Second Hokage fell in battle until now.
In all these years.
Only Namikaze Minato had managed to learn it.
This alone was enough to show just how perversely difficult the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' was to master!
Furthermore, even if one managed to learn it, that was merely crossing the threshold.
To use the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' with agility.
It not only required the user to possess an incredibly vast amount of chakra.
It also required exceptional reaction speed.
Only by possessing both could one truly show off the 'Flying Thunder God Technique.'
There was no need to mention chakra; for some ninjas without cheats, using it twice would basically drain them dry.
And having ultra-high reaction capabilities and spatial awareness was even rarer.
An average ninja would spend half a day weaving hand signs just to cast a single jutsu. If they really teleported right into an enemy's face, they would likely be killed by the enemy before they could even launch an attack.
Judging from these two points alone.
It was enough to prove just how outstanding the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, truly was.
Of course, these two difficulties were nothing to Natsume.
If chakra wasn't enough, he could keep spending money to continuously increase his chakra limit, and he could also rely on 'pills' for rapid replenishment.
If his reactions weren't enough, he could rely on the ability of his Mangekyo left eye, [Setsuna], to dilate his own time, stretch his reaction speed, and launch attacks.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
If he were to activate [Setsuna] in battle, open the [Eight Inner Gates], boost his speed by dozens of times, and then combine it with the [Flying Thunder God Technique] for teleportation attacks.
He could slash dozens of times in a single second!
Wiping out an entire army by himself wouldn't even be a problem, right?
Just thinking about it was incredibly exciting!
However, while the idea was great.
Actually reaching that level would likely require long-term practice and integration...
In any case, being able to draw this powerful [Flying Thunder God Technique] meant he had already made a massive profit.
After all, Natsume had already seen it in the system shop.
To exchange for this Flying Thunder God Technique, it required a full 3000 gold coins!
Far exceeding the 888 gold coins for a 'ten-consecutive draw', it was certainly a massive profit!
After reveling in his ecstasy for a while, Natsume finally suppressed his excitement.
After all, there was still one last treasure chest left to open!
Since the little hussy that is the Goddess of Luck had already lifted her skirt for him once, who was to say she wouldn't favor him again?
The next moment.
The last treasure chest from the 'ten-consecutive draw' opened.
Instantly, a golden light even more brilliant than the last burst forth, nearly blinding Natsume.
Without a doubt, he had hit the jackpot again.
It was a proper 'Golden Legend'!
"You little hussy, Goddess of Luck, I absolutely love you!" Natsume cheered excitedly.
He quickly looked inside the chest.
As the golden light radiated, the prize within the chest slowly rose.
It was an exquisitely crafted weapon, a straight blade resembling a Tang Hengdao!
The blade was a foot long with a one-inch wide hilt; the body was crimson, shimmering with a halo, and both sides featured flowing, blood-like patterns. Its aura was exceptionally sharp; one could tell it was extraordinary just by looking at it.
Natsume hurriedly flashed into the system shop to look up the information on this divine blade.
[Kunwu Blade: The Kunwu Mountain abounds with red copper, colored like fire; used as a blade, it cuts jade like mud.]
[Additional Abilities: 1, Ultimate Sharpness; 2, Heaven and Earth Grand Sound; 3, Kun Beast Blade Soul; 4, Spirit Weaponization]
[Exchange Price: 5000 gold coins]
"Holy crap!"
Natsume blurted out a curse in surprise.
He was a bit hazy on the first two descriptions, but he saw the final exchange price very clearly.
"Good heavens, a sky-high pay-to-win price of 5000 gold coins!"
"It's more than twice as expensive as an S-rank ninjutsu!"
"Isn't this too extravagant? At this price, this Kunwu Blade must be a proper divine artifact!"
"A ten-consecutive draw, an S-rank space-time ninjutsu, and a divine Kunwu Blade!"
"I've made a killing!"
"Hahaha..."
A hearty laugh erupted in the night sky, leaving the guards stationed outside the young clan leader's room looking bewildered.
They almost thought their young clan leader had lost his mind.
With a flash of ruby-like light, the divine Kunwu Blade appeared in Natsume's hand.
Natsume gripped the hilt.
The blade was warm, and a heat flow traveled from the hilt, as if it had just been pulled from the furnace where it was forged.
The flowing patterns on the blade glowed faintly, pulsing on and off, exhaling a scorching aura as if the blade were alive.
Natsume was delighted; he gripped the blade and casually performed a flourish.
He then slashed at the wooden table beside him.
The next moment.
A streak of light flashed, and the table split in two.
Yet, Natsume hadn't felt even a shred of resistance; it was as effortless as slicing through air.
It truly lived up to Ultimate Sharpness!
And it was worthy of the name of a divine blade of China!
"I just wonder if it could cut through Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword?"
"Should I find a chance to test it?"
"But if I really cut his Kusanagi Sword, would Orochimaru fight me to the death?"
Looking at the divine blade in his hand, Natsume couldn't help but 'worry' happily.
What's more, this divine Kunwu Blade could also undergo Spirit Weaponization.
That means even after activating Susanoo, he can still use it!
It is practically tailor-made for him!
From now on, once Susanoo is active, he will never have to worry about lacking a suitable weapon again!
Furthermore, beyond Ultimate Sharpness and Spirit Weaponization.
The divine blade's other two special abilities, Heaven and Earth Grand Sound and Kun Beast Blade Soul, also left Natsume dazzled and yearning, unable to resist testing them out.
