A Ninjutsu Gift Pack

Tetsuya suddenly found himself eager to see what expression Madara Uchiha would make if he saw Izuna alive later on.

"Hey, mutt! You there, mutt?"

If he wanted to resurrect a dead person without going through the usual methods available in the Shinobi World, he could only ask the mutt.

Yet no matter how much he called, the mutt ignored him.

"I'm topping up."

[Oh, my dear master, how much would you like to top up?]

"Pfft, you shameless mutt."

Tetsuya couldn't help cursing.

He dug out the banknotes he had scavenged from the battlefield from his ninja tool pouch. There were roughly twenty-five thousand ryo.

He took out sixteen thousand eight hundred and put the rest away.

"The usual. One ten-pull from the highest-tier prize pool."

[Of course, my dear master.]

The Husky's face broke into a fawning smile.

The banknotes in his hand vanished in an instant, and the credits arrived.

[My dear master, would you like to start the draw right away?]

"Wait. Let me ask you something first."

[What is it, my dear master? Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know.]

Tetsuya asked his question.

"Is there any way to bring a dead person back to life? Don't give me Rinne Rebirth or Life Reincarnation, and I'm not looking for a fake resurrection like Impure World Reincarnation, either."

[Of course there is.]

The Husky was brimming with confidence.

[As I've told you, I have everything the Shinobi World has, and everything it doesn't. Bringing one dead person back to life is nothing. There's an item in the prize pool called a Revival Coin. As long as you hold a Revival Coin, you can resurrect someone who has died.]

"A Revival Coin? Is that even something that belongs in the goddamn Shinobi World?"

[I already told you, the Shinobi World...]

"All right, all right, I get it. You don't have to repeat yourself."

Tetsuya hurriedly cut the Husky off.

"You're sure there's a Revival Coin in the highest-tier prize pool, right?"

[Of course.]

As he spoke, a sly, obnoxious grin appeared on the Husky's face.

Tetsuya couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

"Fine. Start the draw!"

With a thought, Tetsuya activated the ten-pull.

An enormous wheel began spinning before him.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! Obtained Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame.]

[Congratulations! Obtained Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet.]

[Congratulations! Obtained a large amount of Chakra ×1.]

[Congratulations! Obtained a large amount of Chakra ×1.]

[Congratulations! Obtained Lariat.]

[Congratulations! Obtained Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop.]

[Congratulations! Obtained a large amount of Chakra ×1.]

[Congratulations! Obtained Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet.]

[Congratulations! Obtained Fire Release Ninjutsu Enhancement.]

[Congratulations! Obtained a large amount of Chakra ×1.]

Looking at the draw results, Tetsuya scratched his head.

"Huh? Did I just pull a Ninjutsu gift pack?"

Looking at the five Ninjutsu he had drawn, Tetsuya was rather surprised.

He hadn't expected to draw only two Kakashis' worth of Chakra this time, with everything else being Ninjutsu and one Ninjutsu enhancement.

The Ninjutsu enhancement was easy enough to understand. It should strengthen his Fire Release Ninjutsu from now on.

Tetsuya opened his status panel.

"Oh, Fire Release Ninjutsu Enhancement actually counts as part of my constitution."

Tetsuya was a little surprised to see Fire Release Ninjutsu Enhancement listed under constitution.

[That concludes today's service. Unless you're topping up, don't bother me. Farewell.]

[Oh, one reminder: find a way to raise your status. Different identities can unlock different prize pools later on.]

With the draw finished, the Husky saw that Tetsuya had only two credits left and immediately changed his tune. After saying his piece, he vanished right in front of Tetsuya.

"You damn mutt! Why didn't you tell me sooner? You money-grubbing bastard."

Tetsuya spread his hands helplessly and closed his eyes.

Raising his status was easy to say, but it wouldn't be so easy to do.

He decided to forget about it for now and get a good night's sleep first.

The First Shinobi World War finally drew to a close. The Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage had died in battle.

The Second Raikage had died in Kinkaku and Ginkaku's rebellion.

The Second Kazekage, Shamon, had also died, though the cause of his death was unknown.

Of that generation of Kage, only Konoha's Second Hokage remained alive.

With Tobirama still around, Konoha once again overshadowed the other major Shinobi Villages.

The war was over, and Konoha began to rest and recover.

Tetsuya reopened his little shop as well.

"The war's over. There should be at least twenty years of peace ahead. I'll use those twenty years to grow bigger and stronger and reach new heights!"

Looking at the little shop before him, Tetsuya was full of confidence.

Of course, his ambitions weren't limited to the little shop in front of him.

He planned to open a chain, spreading the Chiba Ramen Shop throughout the Shinobi World and becoming its richest man.

Once he had money, he would buy himself a daimyo's position for fun.

That money-grubbing husky had told him to raise his status, and in the world of Naruto, the highest positions should belong to the villages' Kage and the daimyo.

Rather than becoming a village's Kage, he preferred a daimyo's life. He wouldn't have to do anything beyond eating, drinking, and enjoying himself.

As for how he would buy a daimyo's position, there was plenty of room to maneuver.

Of course, he could forget about the daimyo positions in the Five Great Nations.

But there were plenty of small countries in the Shinobi World, and some of them were desperately poor.

With the right approach, buying a daimyo's position shouldn't be difficult.

The reopening of the Chiba Ramen Shop drew plenty of customers.

After all, while the war was still going on, everyone had lived in constant anxiety. Now that it was finally over, it was time to enjoy themselves.

Looking at his packed little shop once again, Tetsuya wondered whether it was time to expand.

Or perhaps he could develop some new products.

Cup Noodles came to mind. If he could adapt his ramen into Cup Noodles, there might be a huge market for them.

Tetsuya had always been a man of action. Once he had an idea, he acted on it.

Leaving two Shadow Clones to handle the work, he holed up in the kitchen to research how to make Cup Noodles.

In the Hokage Building, Tobirama Senju stood at his office window, gazing out over all of Konoha.

"Uchiha Izuna, what are you doing right now?"
