Luck Emperor

To spare the little girl's pride, Uchiha Yufeng set down the bento and walked straight out of the classroom.

After taking only a few steps, he sensed activity coming from the rooftop. Uchiha Yufeng changed direction and headed there.

The moment he reached the rooftop, he heard a familiar voice.

"Kakashi! We can't waste our youth! Let's settle this on the rooftop!!"

A dazzling flash of green stood in the center of the rooftop, gesturing wildly as he challenged Kakashi.

Kakashi, sitting cross-legged on the ground with a bento in hand, calmly refused.

"No!"

Might Guy's pose immediately collapsed.

"Kakashi! Then when will you fight me?!"

Might Guy jogged over to Kakashi and spoke pitifully.

"Uh..."

Kakashi looked at the dejected Guy. The refusal on his lips simply would not come out.

He sighed and helplessly spread his hands.

"I have something to do today. Tomorrow, then! I'll wait for you at my house!"

Hearing Kakashi agree, Might Guy instantly regained his youthful, fiery spirit.

"As expected of my best friend, Kakashi! I'll come to your house tomorrow to challenge you!! Woohoo!"

With that, Guy vanished from the rooftop like a gust of wind, heading to the field for physical training.

At the words "best friend," Kakashi's mouth twitched.

He could not help rolling his eyes at Uchiha Yufeng, who had just arrived on the rooftop.

Whenever Uchiha Yufeng talked to him before, he was always going on about best friends this and best friends that.

Now Might Guy had picked it up too, pestering him every day about fighting because they were "best friends."

Looking at the lazy Uchiha Yufeng, Kakashi always felt that the term "best friend" sounded strange. Coming out of Uchiha Yufeng's mouth, it sounded even less like a good thing.

Uchiha Yufeng found a clean spot to sit, stretched out an arm against the railing, and looked at Kakashi.

"Where did you get that bento?"

Kakashi had already graduated from the Ninja Academy and did not need to attend classes in the afternoon, so he could go home whenever he wanted.

He had only come today as a formality, to see and catch up with his classmates from the same class. Why would he bring a bento?

"I gave him that bento."

Uchiha Yufeng turned around and saw Uchiha Obito staring resentfully at Kakashi.

Uchiha Yufeng understood at once.

It seemed some unknown, passion-filled scene had just taken place on this rooftop!

Nohara Rin's face immediately reddened as well.

"That bento was... Obito's feelings."

Uchiha Yufeng's gaze swept across the three of them.

"Ding, Uchiha Sasuke Fragment +2."

"I'm done eating. Rin, I'll bring the bento box back to you tomorrow."

Feeling Uchiha Yufeng's strange gaze, even Kakashi, with his face covered, could not take it anymore.

He stopped eating the half-full bento, put it away, and adjusted his mask.

"Oh, okay!"

Seeing that there was still plenty of food left in Kakashi's bento, considerate Nohara Rin did not ask further. Her eyes blinked, then she looked at Uchiha Yufeng.

"Oh, right, Yufeng. This morning, I heard Shizune say that you're going to Konoha Hospital after school?"

Uchiha Yufeng nodded.

"That's great! The three of us can go together!"

A flash of delight crossed Nohara Rin's face at the news.

After all, becoming a Medical Ninja had always been Nohara Rin's wish.

She would never miss anything related to medical studies.

"Rin, I'm going too!"

Seeing how happy Rin was, Uchiha Obito spoke without a second thought.

"What are you going for? Are you going to become a Medical Ninja?"

Kakashi glanced over from the side.

"Just because Yufeng wants to become a Medical Ninja, does that mean I can't become one later? Besides, isn't Konoha Hospital a hospital? Even if I don't become a Medical Ninja, can't I go take a look?"

Uchiha Obito secretly glanced at Nohara Rin, his eyes flickering as he tried to sound calm.

"Since Obito is going, Kakashi, why don't you come too?"

Uchiha Yufeng turned his head toward Kakashi and invited him.

"No!"

Kakashi coldly refused out of habit.

"Ding, Uchiha Sasuke Fragment +1."

Uchiha Yufeng smiled knowingly. This damn tsundere.

"Kakashi, aren't you already a Chunin?

You must have gone outside the village for quite a few missions. Some hidden injuries are probably unavoidable, so this is the perfect time to go to the hospital and get yourself checked out properly."

"Yeah, Kakashi! I think Yufeng makes sense!"

Nohara Rin spoke up from the side, agreeing with Uchiha Yufeng.

"Kakashi, come with us and get checked out!"

After saying that, Nohara Rin even blinked at Uchiha Obito.

Uchiha Obito froze for a moment, then understood.

He looked at Kakashi and joined in persuading him.

"Kakashi, come with us! If you have some hidden injury, it'll be hard to advance further in the future. Lady Tsunade happens to be there, so if you have any lingering problems, she can take care of them for you! Maybe you'll become a Jonin in a few days!"

Listening to the three of them, Kakashi lowered his head.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

"What a pain. Fine, I'll go with you."

"Ding, Uchiha Sasuke Fragment +6."

"Ding, Uchiha Sasuke Fragment +2."

"Congratulations, host. The Uchiha Sasuke Card has met the requirements for advancement. Advance it?"

Enough?

Uchiha Yufeng's attention was immediately drawn to the system prompt. He silently said,

"Advance!"

The Golden Card that belonged to Uchiha Sasuke was wrapped in Golden Light. Moments later, the Golden Light faded.

A brand-new Golden Card appeared.

The Uchiha Sasuke on the card was clearly much older.

Dressed in white, with a sword at his waist, his pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan slowly spun, lending him an air of mystery and seduction.

The Golden Card's name had also changed to Uchiha Sasuke (Shippuden).

"Uchiha Sasuke Card advancement successful. Obtained ten card draw chances. (One Ninja Card is guaranteed within ten draws.)"

"Draw cards?"

"Card advancement successful. Use it?"

Uchiha Yufeng dismissed the thought of using the card and focused on the ten card draw chances.

"Draw!"

"You have more than one card draw chance. Please select a draw method: single draw or consecutive draw?"

Uchiha Yufeng pondered for a moment.

"Draw them all! All in!"

At his thought, cards appeared out of thin air one after another and spun upward. Then, a flash of Golden Light appeared.

Hmm?

Gold?

A golden legend?

Was he one of those legendary lucky emperors? He pulled gold?

The ten cards fell and flipped over one after another.

"Congratulations, host. Obtained one Tonkotsu Ramen Coupon."

"Congratulations, host. Obtained one Kusanagi Sword."

"Congratulations, host. Obtained one Ninja Tool Pouch."

"Congratulations, host. Obtained one Training Bandage."

"Congratulations, host. Obtained one Ronin Katana."

"Congratulations, host. Obtained fifty Kunai."

"Congratulations, host. Obtained one hundred Explosive Tags."

"Congratulations, host. Obtained twenty Medical Bandages."

"Congratulations, host. Obtained one Nohara Rin Card."

"Congratulations, host. Obtained one Golden Growth Card: Yakushi Kabuto."

"Because the host has drawn more than ten cards, one System Space has been awarded. It can be used to store items rewarded by the system."

Gold!

A Growth Card!!

Uchiha Yufeng's attention was immediately captured by the Golden Card.

The person on the card had neat, short silver-white hair.

He wore glasses, a black shirt paired with a gray vest, and looked exceptionally focused and serious.

It was you, Dream Fulfiller Kabuto.

Yakushi Kabuto was far from simple. When he first appeared, he was already Orochimaru's capable assistant, proficient in medicine, research, and more.

He had no Bloodline Limit and no clan.

Yet through his own efforts, he completed all of Orochimaru's experiments and gathered all their results into himself.

Later, he learned Sage Mode and became a perfect sage.

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, he gave everyone a chance to fulfill their dreams, fighting two Uchiha alone.

He was undeniably one of the Ninja World's strongest...

Just then, Nohara Rin looked over.

"Yufeng, have you really decided to become a Medical Ninja in the future?"
