Chapter 87: System Upgrade
Night had fallen, and the spacious ward was left with only Li Jiexuan inside…
Although Tsunade had strongly insisted on staying to keep him company, due to the firm opposition of both Senju Tobirama and Li Jiexuan, she reluctantly left after promising she would definitely come see him tomorrow.
"Three years old… that's really too young…!"
Li Jiexuan clicked his tongue. Even though he'd been playing the "raise-a-loli" game and had hugged and kissed her right in front of her grandfather…
Still—
He was a man with principles!
That said, the quiet was nice…
At least now Li Jiexuan could take a look at his gains from this round: thirty-eight beginner treasure chests, twenty intermediate treasure chests, two advanced treasure chests, and one Kage-level treasure chest! This was his most bountiful haul yet. What surprised him was that Danzo of all people had actually contributed an advanced treasure chest as well.
Unfortunately, since he had left the battlefield, the battlefield missions had completely disappeared.
Opportunities to farm points like this wouldn't come often anymore…
Still, one should know how to be content! Opening all thirty-eight beginner treasure chests in a row brought no surprises—thirty-eight stamina potions, neatly lined up like lush green leeks.
Nothing exciting, but it did replenish his reserves. That fight with Kazekage Reto had completely drained his potion stock…
The intermediate treasure chests yielded nineteen chakra potions, plus one intermediate ninja tool (Kotetsu Hagane's hammer). Unfortunately, it was another useless item. All he could do was stash it away and see if it might be useful someday.
Now it was time to open the advanced treasure chests, and Li Jiexuan couldn't help feeling a little excited. He still remembered that beginner trial scroll from last time.
It hadn't given a direct reward, but it had opened up a path to rewards—and last time, he'd made a killing!
Unfortunately, after opening both chests, not a single trial scroll appeared…
"Life Potion!" "Fate Potion!"
Two more potions—same bottle design as the stamina and chakra potions. The Life Potion was a gorgeous deep crimson, while the Fate Potion was a mysterious deep violet…
Life Potion: As long as there's still a breath left, I can save you! Fate Potion: Drink me, and I will change your destiny…
These two potions clearly looked far more high-end than stamina or chakra potions—even their descriptions oozed prestige!
Finally, the highlight of this entire unboxing feast! "Kage-level treasure chest, open!"
Completely different from ordinary chests, the Kage-level chest burst forth with blinding, sun-like light.
As expected of a Kage-level treasure chest—such dazzling light! It had to be something incredible! An ultra–S-rank ninjutsu? Or a Sage of Six Paths relic?
Li Jiexuan was full of anticipation! After a long moment, the light slowly faded…
"…"
Li Jiexuan stared at his empty hands, murmuring in confusion, "Where's the item?"
"Congratulations. You have successfully upgraded the system and obtained true access to it!"
The system's notification arrived right on time. Li Jiexuan nodded inwardly—and the system's voice… seemed to have a bit more warmth to it? But wait! True access to the system?
Li Jiexuan's eyes flew open. "Don't tell me I've been using a fake system this whole time?"
"More accurately, a beta version!"
The system answered bluntly. "Killing Reto counts as passing the test!"
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan's eyes widened in shock. "Then what new functions does the system have now? What do I actually gain?"
If after all the trouble of killing Reto, the Kage-level treasure chest only made the system's tone a bit friendlier, he'd rather stay in beta forever…
"A shop system has been added, along with ability items from other worlds."
"A shop system?"
Li Jiexuan instinctively opened it—and with just one glance, he nearly started drooling.
"Power of the Sage of Six Paths, Asura's Sage Body, Indra's Sage Body…"
Every top-tier treasure in the Naruto world was there. As long as he had enough points, he could instantly gather the essence of the entire Naruto world into one body. When that time came, beating Six Paths Madara and stomping Kaguya wouldn't be a dream at all…
Even the final bosses of the Naruto world—Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and the like—would be nothing special!
But…
Asura's Sage Body: one million points. Power of the Sage of Six Paths: ten million points.
My balance: 1,200.
The world was vast… and the wallet was painfully flat…
