He suddenly stopped walking.
He extended his hand and lightly touched Sasuke's brow.
In an instant.
Sasuke's expression became blank.
Various terrifying images flashed through his mind.
He saw someone holding a seven-colored lotus, smashing open continents with a roar, flames burning the sky, its name was—Heavenly Flame.
He saw someone controlling a colossal puppet, transforming into a drill, breaking through the sky, its name was—Mecha!
He also saw incredibly miraculous Devil Fruits, a Sword Immortal who split the sky and earth with a single sword, and a Stand possessing various unbelievable abilities...
These were all real, existing powers, strengths that did not belong to this world!
Sasuke's body trembled uncontrollably.
His face showed a mix of insane excitement and longing.
Under such infinite possibilities.
What did that man, who thought he was strong, even count for!
In fact, Sasuke was already somewhat impatient to see what kind of astonished and shocked expression his older brother, that powerful and cruel man, would show when he revealed these unimaginable powers to him!
That would truly be wonderful.
Just imagining the scene in his mind gave him a sense of pleasure, like laughing out loud in the middle of the night.
Sasuke, who had suddenly opened the door to a new world, felt that his long-despairing, dark, and painful heart had actually developed an anticipation for the future at this moment!
"Now, you should understand what kind of existence my Mystery Box are." Xin looked at him meaningfully, opening his hands. "Endless worlds, endless powers, endless possibilities. If your luck is good enough, you might even obtain the power to change your destiny tonight."
"I can't hold back anymore!"
Sasuke covered his forehead, the crazy smile on his face completely unstoppable.
After all, he was still just a child around middle school age.
At this moment, his mind had already begun to imagine.
What kind of power he would obtain tonight.
What a pity.
Xin looked at him with considerable pity.
The poor child probably didn't know that he was destined to be an unlucky one, and the most tragic kind: a pay-to-lose unlucky one.
Because—
He, the official, was secretly manipulating the probabilities.
"Well then," Xin's face held a genuine smile. "I wish you good luck in advance."
"I will definitely open powerful strength!" Sasuke was inexplicably confident, then quickened his pace to lead the way.
Xin suppressed his laughter, scooped up Himari, who had started to doze on his shoulder and was slightly losing her grip, into his arms, and followed beside Sasuke. As they passed the alley where he had just discarded the Anbu ninjas, he glanced inside.
It was empty.
Had they left?
Although his methods just now were rough, apart from the mental fear, he hadn't caused any serious harm. After all, his goal had been achieved, there was no need to waste any more money.
He just didn't know.
What kind of reaction the aged Third Hokage would have.
And Danzō, known as the 'Lord of the Pot' in Konoha.
Xin glanced at the system in his mind, at the number representing his transaction points, his expression calm and unhurried.
