The gacha moment had arrived!
Because of Sakumo Hatake's completion of Sekiro, his post-clear conversation with Uchiha Kei, and everything he'd seen and everyone he'd met, this man—who resembled more a transcendent samurai than a shinobi—unexpectedly exploded with 3 more points of Golden Willpower for Kei.
Combined with the Golden Willpower that Uchiha Kei had accumulated during this time, he now had a total of 10 points laid out before him. And based on the number of pulls, another ten 10-pulls meant a 300-draw guaranteed jackpot!
In other words, Uchiha Kei was once again guaranteed at least one gold-tier item.
If he got lucky, he might even draw more than one gold-tier item in those ten multi-pulls.
Of course, after experiencing numerous draws, Uchiha Kei had come to understand deeply just how toxic this system's gacha pool was. One could say there was no such thing as "most toxic"—only "even more toxic."
Trying to pull a decent item—at the very least gold-tier—from this scammy pool had a "touching" probability. Even using Golden Willpower, the drop rate was only around 2%.
Two percent. A true classic drop rate.
And that's with Golden Willpower. Without it? The odds were unthinkably low.
Utterly deranged!
The only conclusion was: never trust any lottery-based gacha. They're all scams.
But of course, if you did pull a gold-tier item, it was extremely delicious.
Then—while thinking exactly that—Uchiha Kei hit his first 10-pull, and his eyes widened in shock. His whole body froze.
"No way. Am I on a lucky streak!?"
As Uchiha Kei exclaimed inwardly, the gacha interface that only he could see began to flicker with dark gold radiance!
Dark gold—this was the tier above gold, the best possible outcome from this cursed gacha pool.
Although in truth, "dark gold" was just gold-tier items that had been enhanced, technically still gold—but the effects of an enhanced gold-tier item were maxed out, placing them among the top-tier items the system could produce.
Currently, Uchiha Kei didn't possess many dark gold items. Of the ones he had, only one had been drawn directly—and even that required hitting the hard pity and getting lucky. The rest were originally gold-tier items that had been enhanced using other gold-tier enhancement tools.
You could say that one dark gold item was the equivalent of two gold-tier items stacked, and it carried an element of luck—as to draw a gold item or skill first, then get the enhancement item that applied to that specific item… even though the system's enhancement tools only apply to items Kei already has and can be enhanced, they are still drawn randomly from a pool of items, so it's entirely luck-based.
Once the draw animation ended, Uchiha Kei impatiently opened the dark gold item to check its details.
Then, he scratched his head. "This... should I say it's good or bad?"
[Mental Network Signal Fixation Transmitter (Gold, Enhanced)]: Select a location to construct a quantum transmission mental network signal emitter. It extends the host's mental network signal. Signal coverage radius: 100 km. Effective linkage range: 409,474 km from the host.
[Additional Notes]: The effective signal extension of the mental network is so that even players who have left the home planet can enjoy the joy of playing the host's game without lag.
Lovely. 409,474 kilometers. The number was frightening at first glance—Uchiha Kei was startled and instinctively tried to figure out what it meant.
After some thought and querying the system, he was utterly speechless—his facial muscles even twitched.
Because this distance... was precisely the maximum distance between Earth and the Moon, plus the Moon's diameter, based on those publicly cited "about so many kilometers" numbers.
Good grief. Did the abstract system just pull its answer off the internet?
Honestly, Uchiha Kei didn't even know how to complain anymore.
Was the system expecting astronauts establishing a base on the Moon to play games with zero latency?
Quantum signal transmission—this wasn't just black technology; it was straight-up sci-fi. It left people at a loss for words.
All Kei could say was—the system was as absurd as ever.
The item was definitely good—but for now, a bit impractical.
After all, at its core, it was just a signal relay machine. And although the extended coverage was huge, the actual emitter radius was only 100 km. The usage limitations were quite strict.
Still, on second thought, there were plenty of ways it could be used.
For instance, the Land of Rōran.
Currently, Rōran could connect to the internet—but the cost was high, and it couldn't be kept online constantly. It was activated only when necessary and wasn't absolutely secure or stable. If the signal source got disrupted or destroyed, the network would immediately go down.
But this signal transmitter was different. Once placed, it could provide long-term, stable coverage. And if Orochimaru and Sasori's signal tower project proved viable, a stable base could be built there to interface with the mental network signal from the transmitter, creating a vast mental network coverage across a good chunk of the ninja world.
It could even use Rōran as a base station to cover half the Land of Wind and its neighboring minor nations.
Without question, this was a highly strategic tool.
In fact, if possible, Uchiha Kei would rather have Orochimaru and Sasori study the item—but it would be extremely difficult. The black-tech content was simply too high.
Its external form resembled a pitch-black monolith, a cylindrical object half a meter tall. If you didn't look closely, you'd think it was just a black post. But on closer inspection, it was clearly composed of a special metal with a matte texture—obviously designed that way to avoid slippage when carried.
There were no visible ports—it required no charging. Its energy source was solar power, and internally, it housed a special energy converter. The specs literally said this—no batteries, just full-blown black technology.
It was also directly bound to Uchiha Kei. With a single thought, he could recall it into the system inventory, and bring it out for use anytime. It auto-linked to his mental network realm and came with full administrative permissions.
Something this advanced—Orochimaru and Sasori couldn't even disassemble it, let alone research it. And without disassembly, research was impossible. Forcing a teardown might damage the precision components, which would be a total waste.
So, for now, this item could only be used as a tool, not studied.
Uchiha Kei put the item away and glanced at the rest of the 10-pull results—nothing notable, just some common items now considered gacha "junk."
Next, he pressed on—time to keep pulling. His luck seemed good today, so why not go all the way?
Then came wave after wave of purple glow, making Uchiha Kei want to bury his face in his hands.
Yep. Never overestimate your luck.
Finally, after using his last point of Golden Willpower on the tenth 10-pull—triggering the guaranteed drop—it wasn't purple glow anymore.
It was brilliant golden light.
Unfortunately... it was only golden light, not the earlier dark gold.
Seemed like all his luck got spent on that first 10-pull.
After some helpless complaining, Uchiha Kei composed himself and checked this final gold-tier item.
Then scratched his head again.
[Super Stamina Booster (Gold)]: Greatly and permanently increases the user's stamina. No side effects. One-time use only. Subsequent use will be ineffective.
A simple and brutal description—no fluff. Just a stamina booster.
Honestly, Uchiha Kei was surprised. Items that boosted mental strength weren't new—he'd seen several, and they all provided percentage-based increases, with clearly defined stats. But this item was different. It had no numerical values and a strict one-time use restriction.
Still, this was totally in line with the idiot system's usual drop logic. Many of its items were simple and violent in design, and this one fit right in.
He'd have to use it to see the exact effect—so Uchiha Kei took it out.
Inside the vial was a transparent yellow liquid that looked like beer, stored in a test tube. The appearance was crude, making it seem like some sketchy lab experiment. One might assume it would trigger a mutation upon drinking.
After some thought, Uchiha Kei downed it in one gulp, then closed his eyes to feel the change brought on by the Super Stamina Booster.
In an instant, his eyes snapped open—and without hesitation, he activated the pre-set isolation barrier to cut himself off from the outside world.
Then—a torrent of powerful chakra erupted from Uchiha Kei's body. Pure yin chakra—the hallmark of the Uchiha clan.
When the sudden spike in stamina merged with his identity as a shinobi and an Uchiha, something unbelievable occurred.
His three tomoe Sharingan, already at the peak, began to spin rapidly. And then—its form began to change, transforming into a five-pointed star eye.
But the transformation didn't stop.
Because the effects of the Super Stamina Booster hadn't stopped—the five-pointed star gained complex patterns within. Eventually, it took on the form of a magic circle-like pentagram, and only then did the evolution complete.
At the same time, the yin chakra within his Uchiha bloodline was fully awakened. The Uchiha clan, which wasn't known for chakra quantity, now had their original power activated. Kei's chakra quality and quantity surged dramatically.
Just like in the original series—Sasuke Uchiha, before awakening his Eternal Mangekyō, would run out of chakra and eye power after short battles. But once he awakened the Eternal Mangekyō, his chakra and ocular power felt endless.
Yes. Uchiha Kei had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
And not just any Mangekyō—he had skipped straight to Eternal Mangekyō. Unlike Sasuke and Madara, he didn't need to transplant his brother's Mangekyō Sharingan.
Honestly, Uchiha Kei was stunned.
He had expected to awaken the Mangekyō eventually—he had a system, after all. But in his mind, he thought he'd awaken it first, then figure out how to evolve it. Maybe he'd end up like Obito—relying on Hashirama cells to keep his vision.
Instead, the idiot system slapped him with reality—teaching him that his imagination was far too limited. The reaction between this urban game development system and the Naruto world produced a truly ridiculous synergy.
What could he say? The system's items were often conceptual—completely illogical cheat codes.
The Super Stamina Booster, once consumed, immediately revealed its true effect: literally increasing stamina. If Kei were still a normal Earth human, its effects would include dramatically enhanced focus and stamina—allowing him to work nonstop for three days and nights and still recover after a short nap. It was the classic drug for becoming the undisputed king of game dev crunch.
The one-time use limit was because its effect was both god-tier and soul-crushing for any overworked developer.
But in the ninja world—especially for someone like Uchiha Kei, already at the top of the three tomoe Sharingan—this item was an ultimate cheat.
It triggered a miraculous reaction—fully awakening his yin chakra and delivering a powerful stimulus to his eyes, which were deeply connected to his spirit and soul.
As a result, without any loss, trauma, or tragedy, Kei completed a path that most Uchiha could never walk in their entire lives—awakening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan with silk-smooth ease.
Undoubtedly, this enhancement shocked Kei so much that his mind nearly blanked. He had never imagined his Sharingan would undergo such a drastic transformation without any warning.
Fortunately, Kei had activated the isolation barrier in time. Otherwise, his current state would've been felt by everyone in the village with any sensory ability.
That sheer amount of chakra alone was terrifying enough to make people tremble. The yin chakra from the Eternal Mangekyō wasn't something the average person could endure.
However, perhaps because Kei's awakening differed from others in his clan, his chakra—though yin in nature—lacked the cold, sinister vibe seen in Sasuke or Madara. In fact, if someone from the Uzumaki clan tried sensing it, they might even pick up a strange mix of mischief and merchant-like aura.
After all, Uchiha Kei bore no deep-seated hatred to infect his chakra. His greatest wish now... was to get everyone in the ninja world playing games—and explosively farming gold for him! A pure gremlin mindset!
And on this point, Uchiha Kei was absolutely unwavering!
