There was no doubt about it. This was his system.
Yecheng marveled that he had a cheat of his own after all. He simply had never triggered it.
After studying it for a while, he understood that his originally predetermined fate was to die at fifteen, like a blade of grass.
But as long as he took actions that could change his fate, he could earn fate points!
For example, saving Hinata Hyuga from bullying tonight, befriending her, and raising her affection toward him could earn him fate points.
With enough fate points, he could draw cards from fate!
One draw cost 10 fate points, while saving up 100 would let him perform a ten-pull!
He currently had exactly 12 fate points, enough for one draw.
Yecheng did not hesitate. He immediately decided to try this so-called fate card draw and see just what he could get.
His requirements were not high. Any good stuff like Wood Release, Senjutsu, the Sharingan, the Rinnegan, or the Nine-Tails would do!
As everyone knew, Naruto was also known as the Legend of the Eyes, or the Household Affairs of Kaguya Otsutsuki!
The closer someone was to that family, the more talented they were, and the more likely they were to become one of the Shinobi World's finest!
But a commoner like him, who did not even have a surname, was just a stray by the roadside compared to them, someone they could kick to death at will, even if he barely had the talent to become a ninja.
This fate card draw system was his best aid in changing his lot as a roadside stray!
"My turn! Draw!"
"System, show me your limits!"
[Card drawn successfully!] [Wow, a golden legendary!] [Item card obtained: "Six Eyes"!]
Yecheng: ?
Holy crap, a miracle from a single pull!
But what kind of eyes were the Six Eyes?
Was there a Kekkei Genkai like that in the Legend of the Eyes?
Looking at the black silhouette on the card, with only its pair of pale blue eyes shining particularly brightly, Yecheng finally realized.
"Those eyes, there's no mistaking them!"
"Which means... that's right!"
"Even now, I still think you'd win, Teach!"
After marveling for a while, Yecheng noticed something wrong.
"I'm clearly in the Naruto world, so why did I draw eyes from Jujutsu Kaisen?!"
System, say something!
The fate card draw system was playing dead.
After testing it for quite a while without receiving any response, Yecheng finally understood. This system must have made a mistake!
Still, compared to this world's various ocular Kekkei Genkai, the Six Eyes lacked overtly powerful, brute-force skills, but the improvement they offered him was immense, fully deserving the title of golden legendary.
Yecheng immediately chose to use the golden item card.
In an instant, his eyes turned a clear, pale blue, and everything he saw changed. Even the dust particles floating through the room were clearly visible!
There were also indescribable things like "air currents" flowing slowly through the air.
At that moment, Yecheng felt like someone with severe nearsightedness who had suddenly gained excellent vision. It was incredibly refreshing.
Everything around him was slowing down, and enormous amounts of information flooded his mind under those eyes' scrutiny.
His brain seemed to have been altered by those eyes as well, beginning to work on its own to process the vast amounts of useless, jumbled information.
But he still needed to adapt to this process. Right now, Yecheng could barely move, as though he had been hit with Unlimited Void.
He simply gave up struggling, lay down on the floor, and drifted into a pleasant sleep.
He slept all the way until noon the next day before waking up, rubbing his temples.
"Looks like using cards puts quite a strain on me as I am now. I'd better find somewhere safe and deserted when I use them..."
Recalling what had happened last night gave Yecheng another headache, though it was much better than being completely unable to move.
The Six Eyes were a powerful physical trait possessed by Satoru Gojo, a popular character in Jujutsu Kaisen.
In the Naruto world, they could be called a powerful ocular Kekkei Genkai.
Their abilities were formidable, offering exceptionally keen perception. They not only provided the Byakugan's 360-degree field of vision without blind spots, but also dynamic vision comparable to the Sharingan, and could likewise see through the flow of energy inside an enemy's body.
In other words, imitating the Sharingan's ability to copy ninjutsu would not be difficult either.
What made the Six Eyes even more absurd was their ability to grant their wielder extremely precise control over cursed energy, with precision that could even reach the atomic level!
They could greatly reduce the expenditure required to perform techniques.
In other words, he could use less mana to cast more powerful techniques!
Yecheng used the Six Eyes to examine his own body and conducted some tests, soon getting the results he wanted.
"The Six Eyes really can improve chakra control too. The speed and precision of chakra extraction have increased dramatically. In terms of chakra extraction alone, I'm no worse than a Chunin now."
Yecheng was overjoyed.
With this level of chakra extraction, passing the Ninja Academy's exam would be effortless.
And this was only just after obtaining the Six Eyes. As long as he kept training with them, reaching the level of an elite Jonin would be far from difficult, even without any other help!
It was incomparably better than his previous talent, which would have limited him to Chunin at best!
The improvement from this single draw surpassed all the effort Yecheng had put in over the past several years!
He was full of anticipation for his future potential.
"Now, let's see exactly what's wrong with this body..."
Examining himself again with the Six Eyes, Yecheng discovered that his bone cells and blood-forming cells were extremely active, but whenever his other cells touched his bones, they rapidly died within an extremely short time!
Then his hematopoietic stem cells and bone marrow cells went to work, dividing in large numbers before differentiating into various new cells to replace the dead ones.
But the cells of the human body could only divide a limited number of times. No one could withstand being depleted at this rate!
This was the truth behind Yecheng's congenital disease!
"This is..."
Seeing this, Yecheng immediately thought of Kimimaro, a formidable enemy the protagonists had faced in the original story!
He possessed the Kaguya Clan's Kekkei Genkai, Shikotsumyaku, and was extremely powerful.
On his first appearance, he had overwhelmed both Rock Lee using Drunken Fist and Gaara, the One-Tail Jinchuriki. Had his life not happened to run out at the end, he might very well have killed them both!
And all the characteristics of Yecheng's constitution pointed toward the Kekkei Genkai, Shikotsumyaku!
According to online discussions from his previous life, Naruto fans had arrived at a theory: the Kekkei Genkai Shikotsumyaku very likely originated from Kaguya Otsutsuki's finishing move, All-Killing Ash Bones!
That would also explain why Kimimaro and Yecheng had such short lives!
So his congenital illness was actually a Kekkei Genkai Disease caused by Shikotsumyaku...
"So my name in this life should actually be Cheng Kaguya? Forget it, Ye Cheng sounds better."
Now that he had the fate card draw system, Yecheng was no longer too worried about dying from this Kekkei Genkai Disease.
He already had the Six Eyes, and in the future, he would at least become an elite Jonin as powerful as Kakashi. Asking Princess Tsunade, the greatest medical ninja, to treat him then would not be much of a problem.
Even if Tsunade could do nothing about his Kekkei Genkai Disease...
As long as he drew the healing skill Reverse Cursed Technique from the Jujutsu Kaisen world, or even Idle Transfiguration, hailed as the strongest healing skill, this Kekkei Genkai Disease would not be a problem!
What he was thinking about now was whether he could continue developing his Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai, perhaps even reverting it to its ancestral form and recreating the deadly-on-contact might of All-Killing Ash Bones.
Yecheng felt it had real potential!
But to draw cards from fate, he first needed to save up enough fate points...
And to earn fate points, he needed to find ways to get acquainted with powerful people and important plot characters, and raise their affection toward him.
As it happened, the Ninja Academy's new term was about to begin.
When the time came, they would all be classmates. There would be plenty of opportunities.
"Grrr~ grrr~"
Just as he was thinking, Yecheng's stomach suddenly rumbled.
His expression froze, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
"I'm hungry..."
