System's New Feature

Back at home.

Naruto sat on a stool, drawing as he opened the Saiyan Shop and prepared to exchange for Saiyan Blood.

This time, he had earned over two hundred Experience Points, enough to exchange for more than twenty drops of Saiyan Blood. That blood would also considerably increase his strength.

However.

Just as he was about to exchange for blood, he suddenly froze upon seeing the changes in the shop. The functions that had previously been invisible beneath the shop were now visible.

There were two functions: the Data Panel and the Lottery Panel. Activating either one required 10 Experience Points.

Ten Experience Points were nothing to him now, but he was still in the initial stage, when he was at his weakest. He wanted to make every single Experience Point count.

Should I activate them? Naruto muttered to himself as he considered whether to activate the two panels.

After a brief analysis, he chose to give up on the Data Panel and activate the Lottery Panel instead.

The Lottery Panel stated that Experience Points could be used to draw abilities from the Myriad Worlds. The scope was far broader; any ability could potentially be drawn.

If his luck exploded and he drew some incredibly powerful ability from the Myriad Worlds, he would strike it rich. Thus, he spent 10 Experience Points to activate the Lottery Panel.

[Ding! Lottery Panel activated. A total of 10 Experience Points consumed.]

Whoosh!

A translucent screen appeared before him. At its center was a red draw button, surrounded by countless spherical objects that seemed to contain the possible lottery rewards.

Naruto examined it carefully and found that each draw required only 10 Experience Points, an unbelievably small amount.

Such a low cost made Naruto hesitate. Cheap goods were rarely good goods; at such a low price, the odds of drawing something valuable had to be extremely, extremely low.

I'll test it once. Naruto muttered to himself before ultimately spending 10 Experience Points and pressing the draw button.

Ding, ding, ding!

A sound like ringing wind chimes reached his ears, crisp and pleasant. At the same time, the translucent display before Naruto began spinning continuously.

[Ding! You have drawn two drops of Saiyan Blood.]

A message appeared before Naruto, making him pause slightly before delight swiftly filled him.

"I actually drew two drops of Saiyan Blood. That's the equivalent of getting one drop for free. Great!" Naruto said excitedly.

But he would not let joy cloud his judgment. After a moment's thought, he decided to draw one more time. If he got something good, he would continue; if the draw failed, he would save his remaining Experience Points.

He had to ensure that what he received from the lottery was worth more than what he could exchange for. After all, at this early stage, exchanging for Saiyan Bloodline was safer. He needed to gain more power as soon as possible.

Only after gaining the strength to protect himself would he dare to squander Experience Points in pursuit of more unknown abilities.

With anticipation, Naruto spent another 10 Experience Points and began the draw again.

[Ding! Enhanced Clone Technique acquired.]

"Hmm?"

Naruto frowned slightly at the reward. He would obtain the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique before long, so this Enhanced Clone Technique was practically useless.

"Forget it. I'll exchange the remaining Experience Points for Saiyan Bloodline. Exchanges are safer."

Naruto shook his head inwardly, unwilling to keep taking risks, and exchanged all of his Experience Points for Saiyan Bloodline.

[Ding! Obtained 1 drop of Saiyan Blood.]

[Ding! Obtained 1 drop of Saiyan Blood.]

...

The notification chimes rang without end. Feeling the warm current flowing through his body, his steadily increasing strength, and his sharper senses, Naruto's lips curled into a smile.

He now possessed thirty drops of Saiyan Blood in total. Such an amount would undoubtedly bring a significant enhancement to his physique.

Combined with the already formidable constitution of the Uzumaki Clan, it was equivalent to the strength resulting from the union of two bloodlines.

It could be said that Naruto had benefited enormously this time and gained even more power. However, he still needed to test exactly how far his strength had grown.

"Right, let's test the Enhanced Clone Technique. I hope it won't disappoint me." Naruto muttered inwardly as he began forming hand seals.

Poof!

White smoke spread through the room. Three clones stood quietly around him, motionless and silent, but Naruto's eyes widened.

The moment the clones appeared, he discovered that he could control them with his thoughts, as though they were remote-controlled robots. He could issue them all kinds of commands.

This change greatly surprised Naruto. Even the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique could not accomplish this. For example, in the original story, Naruto's shadow clones often fought one another and were poorly coordinated.

If Shadow Clone Technique could also be controlled through thought, it would elevate the technique to unprecedented heights. Still, Naruto did not care much about that, because he valued Saiyan Blood more.

As long as he obtained a complete Saiyan Bloodline, he would possess world-destroying power. Therefore, he placed greater importance on Saiyan Bloodline.

"Let's continue trying to refine Qi. If I can refine Qi, I'll be able to cultivate the Flight Technique."

As Naruto spoke, he sat down cross-legged and once again immersed himself in refining Qi.

However, not long after he began cultivating, a sensation of being watched suddenly emerged. It was not coming from the ANBU outside his house, but from the distant direction of the Hokage's Office.

After sensing the surveillance, Naruto continued cultivating without showing any reaction.

He knew it was the Third Hokage's Telescope Technique. That old man was spying on him again, which made Naruto very unhappy. He felt like a captive animal, deeply uncomfortable.

Not long afterward.

The feeling of being watched disappeared once more. Naruto glanced in the direction of the Hokage's Office and sneered. "Once my strength is sufficient, I'll have to show off my muscles a little. For example, by killing Danzo. As for the Third Hokage..."

A cold glint flashed through Naruto's eyes before he continued attempting to refine Qi.

Time passed as he refined Qi, and soon the next day arrived.

Early in the morning, the sun shone brightly, while birds sang amid the fragrance of flowers.

Naruto stepped out of his home, ignoring the ANBU secretly watching him as he headed toward the academy.

Today, he planned to earn more Experience Points. Then he could exchange for plenty more blood, and his strength would rise dramatically.

But after he had walked only a few hundred meters, a large dog came running from ahead. Three men chased after it, led by a tall, thin man.

"Get out of the way! The dog's gone mad! It bites anyone it sees, move!" the tall man shouted anxiously, terrified that the dog would injure someone else.

But the dog was too fast. Just as the warning ended, it reached Naruto. Then it leaped into the air and pounced at Naruto by the roadside.

"It's over!" the tall man cried despairingly from afar, knowing that he would have to pay compensation again.

But at that moment.

Just as the tall man fell into despair.

The large dog, which had leaped into the air and was about to reach Naruto, seemed to sense something. Terrified, it abruptly twisted its body and veered past Naruto, then accelerated as it turned around and ran back at full speed.

As it ran, the dog even looked at Naruto with terrified eyes, as though Naruto were some monstrous beast. In the end, it dove straight into the tall man's arms, trembling so hard that it did not dare move.

Everyone who saw this was dumbfounded. The people chasing the dog were equally stunned, staring with wide eyes as if they had been turned to stone.

Tap, tap, tap.

Naruto walked on indifferently, slowly passing them from the side without even glancing at the dog. As he passed by, the dog trembled even more violently and even tucked its tail between its legs.

"This..."

The tall man seemed to understand something. He swallowed and did not dare say a word.

The ANBU responsible for monitoring him frowned. "Is it because of the Nine-Tails? That doesn't seem right. I remember dogs chasing Naruto before. Then why is this happening?"
