SSS-Rank Ability: Rinnegan Acquired

"Stay calm, stay calm! 9527, we're men who are going to stand above all worlds. Isn't it just a Legendary Robbery Token? Look at how pathetic you are!!"

Lin Yu spoke disdainfully. If not for his trembling little hands, shaking as if he had Parkinson's, 9527 might actually have believed him. Hehe... a man whose mouth was modest but whose body was honest!

"Host Daddy, you don't understand. The chance of getting something advanced from a newbie blind box is one in ten thousand, while the chance of getting something legendary is one in ten million!!!!"

9527's voice was full of disbelief. When he had first seen the legendary probability in the blind box settings, he had scoffed at it, believing it was nothing but a gimmick. Yet he had been slapped in the face so quickly—Lin Yu had actually drawn something with a one-in-ten-million chance.

"Basic stuff! Basic stuff! This is all basic stuff! Stick with Daddy from now on, and you'll see plenty more scenes like this..."

After hearing 9527's explanation, Lin Yu continued pretending to be calm, completely unaware that his grin had nearly reached his ears.

"Alright, 9527, hurry up and tell me how to use the Robbery Token."

"Before using a Robbery Token, the host must first lock onto a world to rob. The system refreshes three worlds every seven days. Host Daddy may choose one of them to lock onto. Once locked, the world cannot be changed for seven days. The host can only choose again after the next world refresh! Does Host Daddy want to refresh the worlds now?"

"Yeah! Refresh them."

Lin Yu said nervously as he began praying wildly in his heart.

Spirits of heaven and earth, please give me a higher-level world!!

"Understood! Randomizing worlds..."

"Ding... World randomization complete! The three worlds selected this time are The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and Naruto. Please choose a world to lock onto!"

"Lock onto the Naruto World directly!"

Without even thinking, Lin Yu chose Naruto. Of the three worlds, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer was a low-martial world. Aside from the Dugu Nine Swords and the Star Absorption Technique, there did not seem to be much else worth mentioning.

As for Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Lin Yu could only think of Wolffy and Slow Sheep's black technology. But it seemed useless on this Blue Star, where people could fly around and leap across great distances. Compared with the Naruto World, those two worlds were simply nothing.

Lin Yu had also been an anime fan in his previous life, so he knew exactly how powerful the Naruto World was! Just thinking about all kinds of Kekkei Genkai, Tailed Beasts, and those world-destroying ninjutsu from the later stages made Lin Yu nearly drool. His excited little hands simply would not stop shaking!

"World locked successfully! Host Daddy, can we start robbing now??"

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Lin Yu felt that 9527 was even more excited than he was.

"Rob them!! Let's use five basic ones first to warm up!!"

At Lin Yu's command,

"Understood! 9527 is at your devoted service!!"

"Congratulations, Host! You robbed Generic Ninja A's Kunai (F) ×2, Generic Ninja A's Clone Technique (F) ×1, Sakura Haruno's Headband (F) ×1, and Choji Akimichi's Special Soldier Rations Pill (E) ×1 bag."

Lin Yu had not held much hope for the basic Robbery Tokens to begin with. The main event was still to come, so he temporarily ignored those items and said directly to 9527,

"Continue using the intermediate Robbery Tokens!"

"Congratulations, Host! You robbed young Sasuke Uchiha's Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique (C) ×1, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique (C) ×1, and Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique (B) ×1."

Good lord, 9527 was really shearing that red-eyed, chuunibyou teenager for all he was worth. All three intermediate robberies had landed on Sasuke. Lin Yu mourned for the red-eyed youth for one second, but quickly put it out of his mind. The big prize had not even begun yet, so these appetizers did not matter.

"Continue, continue!! 9527, use the Advanced Robbery Token for Daddy!!"

Lin Yu clasped his hands tightly, waiting in anticipation. After all, advanced tokens could rob abilities and items from A to SS rank. If he got an SS-rank ability, he would truly take off.

"Congratulations, Host! You robbed Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique (SS) ×1."

"Beautiful!!"

Lin Yu clapped his hands excitedly. As a Naruto fan, he had always been deeply drawn to a powerful and cool skill like the Flying Thunder God Technique. After all, Minato Namikaze had earned the title of the Yellow Flash and moved through the battlefield as though no one could stop him entirely because of his masterful Flying Thunder God Technique. Even in the later stages of the Naruto World, the Flying Thunder God Technique remained a dazzling presence.

"Stay calm, stay calm!! This is nothing yet. The true trump card hasn't arrived!"

Lin Yu forcefully hypnotized himself, and his excited heart gradually settled down.

"Phew!!! 9527! Go for it, use the Legendary Robbery Token!!"

"Understood!!"

The moment 9527 finished speaking, a dazzling golden light lit up Lin Yu's inventory. The Legendary Robbery Token that had been lying inside transformed into a golden dragon. Immediately afterward, a domineering dragon's roar rang out in Lin Yu's mind. The incomparably imposing golden dragon suddenly surged forward, smashed through space headfirst, and vanished.

"Congratulations, Host! You robbed Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan (SSS) ×1."

"Holy shit!!! The system is amazing!! 9527 is amazing!!"

At the instant he heard 9527's voice, a thousand words could not express Lin Yu's feelings. That was the Rinnegan—the supreme ocular power known in Naruto as the Eye That Controls Life and Death, a true existence standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

"Quick, quick!! Let me see what the Rinnegan looks like!!!"

Lin Yu said to 9527, his voice trembling slightly.

"Host Daddy, all robbed items have been placed in the inventory. Host Daddy may open it to inspect them."

Lin Yu excitedly looked into the inventory. He skipped right past the earlier items and focused directly on the final item radiating golden light. Within that light, a pair of purple eyes with concentric ripples rested quietly in the inventory, emanating a mysterious aura.

"So this is the Rinnegan. It looks extraordinary indeed! 9527, quick, equip it for Daddy!"

Lin Yu urged impatiently.

"Alright!"

Along with 9527's voice, the Rinnegan in the inventory transformed into a streak of light and merged into Lin Yu's body. A surge of heat flowed through his body and into his eyes. At that moment, Lin Yu felt as if his eyes were being burned by fire, and two streams of bloody tears flowed uncontrollably from his tightly shut eyes.

After a while, the pain in Lin Yu's eyes gradually faded. He adapted for a moment before slowly opening them.

A pair of purple, ripple-patterned Rinnegan had replaced Lin Yu's original eyes. Those rings of ripples seemed capable of drawing in anyone's mind, brimming with dominance and mystery.

Lin Yu walked into the bathroom and looked at his now completely different eyes in the mirror. The purple Rinnegan, paired with the bloodstains at the corners of his eyes that had yet to be wiped away, gave him an eerie and alluring aura.

"Damn, I'm handsome!"

Lin Yu touched his eye sockets and narcissistically admired himself for a moment, then washed his face and cleaned away the bloodstains.

"9527, does my Rinnegan have any limitations? Will it be like Nagato's, with only the Six Paths abilities but none of the Rinnegan's unique ocular techniques?"

"Host Daddy, don't worry. The Rinnegan robbed by the system is complete. You can use every ability of these eyes, and there are no side effects. However, Host Daddy is still relatively weak, so some abilities cannot yet display their full power."

"Oh, right, Host Daddy. According to this world's ranking system, you are already level 19..."

"What the hell??? I went straight from a level-zero rookie to level 19?? That's already the peak of the second tier? Why don't I feel anything at all?? My body hasn't gotten stronger either??"

After hearing 9527's words, Lin Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Host Daddy, the system brought back a trace of Madara Uchiha's energy during the robbery. That energy was absorbed by your body when your eyes were modified. Since you had never cultivated before, your body could not adapt to such a sudden increase, so the system has temporarily sealed your level and will slowly unseal it afterward, allowing your body time to adapt. By tomorrow morning, Host Daddy will possess the full strength of level 19..."

After hearing 9527's explanation, Lin Yu suddenly understood, then sighed emotionally.

"Old Madara really is such a nice guy! He gave me both his eyes and his energy!! I almost feel embarrassed!"
