Chapter 122: Lottery
"Alright, Mikoto is tired now too. Big Sis and Kushina, you two stay here and take care of her. I'll take Konan to buy some groceries. Next, I'll show you all my cooking skills."
After giving instructions to Tsunade and Kushina, Ling Yu took Konan's hand and left the Senju compound to go grocery shopping at the supermarket.
"Mm, come back early. Don't buy too much—we and Mikoto won't be able to eat that much."
Tsunade called out just before the two left.
Because Mikoto was too heartbroken, the plan to go out for a big celebratory meal fell through—no one was in the mood. In the end, Ling Yu personally cooked a simple family-style feast to replace the restaurant idea.
Fortunately, although Ling Yu hadn't cooked in a long time and couldn't compare to the all-purpose homemaker Mikoto, his skills were still solid. Overall, the food tasted better than average home cooking, and the girls all found it delicious.
After a simple dinner, Kushina took Mikoto back to rest. Even Konan—who hadn't taken a nap after the long journey from the Land of Rain—was already drowsy after eating. Tsunade carried her off to bed.
Now, the only one still awake was Ling Yu, sitting excitedly in his room staring at the system interface.
Host: Ling Yu Age: 12 Physique: Sage Body Skills: Rinnegan [Enhanced], Six Powers, Copy & Analysis, Space Power, All series of ninjutsu, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Observation Haki & Armament Haki, Magnet Release, Dust Release Weapons: Kyōka Suigetsu Strength: Ultra-Kage level (Mid-stage) Exchange Points: 4600 System Inventory: Ordinary Chest ×2, Exquisite Chest ×3, Precious Chest ×5
He had already combined ten Exquisite Chests into two Precious Chests, so now he had five Precious Chests that could yield good items.
Since five Exquisite Chests could be synthesized into one Precious Chest, Ling Yu had previously asked the system whether five Precious Chests could be combined into one Ultimate Chest.
The system's answer was "NO." Because Ultimate Chests produced items ten times stronger than Precious Chests, they could only be obtained through probability during major plot events—they could not be synthesized.
Ling Yu could only silently curse how trash that was. At this rate, even if he completed every single mission in the Naruto world, he might only get one or two Ultimate Chests—if that.
If things stayed this way, he'd have to wait more than a decade until the Naruto birth plot began. He didn't have that kind of free time, so Ultimate Chests would have to remain a matter of luck. For now—he'd open the chests he already had.
"System, I want to open Precious Chests. Open all five at once."
With so many Precious Chests in hand, Ling Yu felt a rare surge of extravagance. With a grand wave of his hand, he commanded the system.
Ding!
Next, five chests appeared side by side on the system interface, all shaking violently.
In the next second, five golden beams flashed across the interface. Every chest opened simultaneously.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Impure World Reincarnation.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Natural Energy Affinity +50%.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Ice Release kekkei genkai.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Sage of the Six Paths' ninja tool—Bashōsen (Banana Palm Fan).
Five rewards appeared in the system inventory in a row, leaving Ling Yu—mouth agape in shock—unable to look away fast enough.
"Hiss! As expected—opening five at once really gives different-level rewards."
Ling Yu stood up from the bed and examined each reward one by one.
Impure World Reincarnation and Wind Release: Rasenshuriken immediately flowed into his mind the moment he claimed them. In an instant, he fully comprehended how to use both techniques.
Impure World Reincarnation needed no explanation—an S-rank ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage. It could summon the souls of the dead back to the living world and revive them in physical form.
However, it required a living person's body as a vessel for the deceased soul, binding the soul from the pure land to the vessel and covering the living body with ash to transform it into the appearance of the dead person in life.
This technique was most famously used by Orochimaru and Kabuto. Every time it was employed, it caused massive trouble for the protagonists. Its limitation was that it restricted the revived person's strength.
In short, this technique was truly broken. Kabuto used it to revive countless Kage and top-tier ninja from various villages, creating enormous problems for the Allied Shinobi Forces.
As for Wind Release: Rasenshuriken—no explanation needed. By combining Wind chakra nature transformation with the Rasengan, it became an S-rank ninjutsu shaped like a shuriken.
Though very powerful, among these five rewards, it seemed the weakest. Ling Yu already had no shortage of techniques at this level.
"Natural Energy Affinity? That's a term I've never seen before."
After mastering the first two techniques, Ling Yu turned his attention to the third reward.
This reward should accelerate his future Sage Mode training. Perfect timing—he had just obtained Sage techniques from Uchiha Madara and now needed a place to practice them.
In a while, he'd go ask Tsunade for the Slug Forest contract scroll. The three places to train Sage Mode were Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest. Any one would do.
With his Sage Body plus this +50% Natural Energy Affinity boost, his training speed would definitely be much faster than normal people's, and his body shouldn't undergo any strange changes.
That said, the Great Toad Sage was said to have the ability to foresee the future and had lived since the era of the Sage of the Six Paths. Perhaps later Ling Yu would visit Mount Myōboku to see if that giant toad really was as legendary as rumored.
"Another kekkei genkai—and this Ice Release seems very suitable for Konan. It should work well for me too. Tomorrow I'll exchange a Bloodline Limit Copy Card and let Konan fuse with Ice Release."
After claiming the fourth reward, a large amount of Ice Release ninjutsu knowledge appeared in Ling Yu's mind. He immediately decided to copy this technique for Konan.
Konan was currently only at chūnin level. Her own Paper Release didn't have particularly strong destructive power. If she gained Ice Release and wrapped her paper in ice crystals, her killing potential would increase dramatically. Of course, the main reason was simply that Ling Yu thought Ice Release suited blue-haired Konan very well.
"Bashōsen… tsk tsk tsk. Legend says that as long as you hold the Bashōsen, you can freely unleash attacks using Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, or Lightning chakra. While it's a bit useless for me personally, it could be given to someone else."
Ling Yu looked at the final reward—a fan with red tips and a pure white center—and murmured to himself.
