Chapter 8 The Opportunity to Become Stronger
Naruto returned to his small apartment with satisfaction, eager to study the system thoroughly.
Pushing open the door, the room, though simple, was tidy and organized. The blankets on the single bed were neatly folded, the ninja tools and books on the desk were arranged in an orderly fashion, and even the floor was wiped clean. It didn't look like a room where a child lived alone at all.
He went straight to the kitchen and took a carton of milk from the refrigerator. Yes, the refrigerator.
Every time Naruto sees these modern home appliances, he can't help but complain about the technology tree in the Naruto world. In an era where people travel by horse-drawn carriages and communicate mainly by writing letters, there are refrigerators, induction cookers, and even movies and vending machines.
It's probably a different kind of cyberpunk...
Shaking off these irrelevant thoughts, Naruto opened the system interface. His points were displayed as 1100; the system notification had sounded again just moments before, when he left Ichiraku Ramen.
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host! You have established a bond (Level 6) with the original character "Teuchi (Ichiraku Ramen)"!]
Points earned: 100!
It seems the most effective way to improve a chef's reputation is to praise their cooking.
Naruto casually placed the half-finished milk on the bedside table and rubbed his hands together. Now, it was time to test his luck!
As a low-level lucky player who once managed to pull a high-level A-rank ninja in a mobile game with just 100 draws plus an initial payment, he is quite confident in his luck.
"Come on! Ten consecutive pulls!"
Without hesitation, Naruto clicked the ten-pull button on the system interface, instantly reducing his points from 1100 to 100. Immediately afterward, the system notification sounded crisply in his mind.
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host: You have achieved your first 10-pull!]
[Reward: System Space!]
[Item Description: The System Space is a storage space independent of the world, bound to this system, and visible only to the host. It can be freely manipulated through consciousness, has unlimited capacity, but can only store items produced by this system!]
Storage space? This system is quite considerate... It can only store system data, so it seems it can't be used as a Kamui space like Obito did.
But right now, he was more interested in the items he won in the lottery. Sure enough, ten cards, shimmering faintly, were neatly arranged on the system interface. However, when he saw the design of the cards, his lips twitched involuntarily.
Wait... this design...
The card back features the familiar blue background with gold trim, and a strange stone in the center... Isn't this a legendary Hearthstone card?! This thing is even a game-like stitching thing?!
Naruto suppressed the urge to retort and reached out to open one of the cards.
Congratulations on obtaining: Chakra +5
[Item Description: Quality - Common. The source of power in the Naruto world, physiological energy extracted from 130 trillion cells in the human body. Numerical reference: Common Chunin = 10, Kakashi Hatake = 50]
I see, it directly increases the maximum chakra limit...
Naruto suddenly found it somewhat amusing. So, I've gained 0.1 chakra now?
Is it a bit inappropriate to use Kakashi as a unit of measurement?
"If Kakashi's chakra level is 50..." he muttered to himself unconsciously, "then what's my current chakra level?"
The system responded immediately after I finished speaking.
[Host's current chakra level: 205]
Oh? It's quite intelligent.
Naruto was a little surprised. Although the function was a bit rudimentary, it could still answer questions. How thoughtful!
"200 chakra points...that's 4 ka."
This number left him speechless. Keep in mind, Naruto hadn't even formally undergone chakra refinement training yet; his initial chakra reserves were already four times that of Kakashi, an elite Jonin.
Not to mention... there's a giant fox inside his body that's entirely made of chakra.
Naruto couldn't wait to open the remaining cards.
Congratulations on obtaining: 500 grams of Chakra Metal
[Item Description: Special forging material, capable of conducting chakra, commonly used in the crafting of high-grade ninja tools]
Congratulations on obtaining: Physical Training Weighted Gear (Rock Lee's Style)
[Item Description: Adjustable load capacity, single block can reach up to 1 ton!]
Congratulations on obtaining: 10 Soldier Rations Pills
[Item Description: Each item restores 10 chakra points; tastes bitter]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Basic Physical Skill Enhancement!]
[Item Description: Improves overall physical fitness by 5%]
Just as the fifth card was unfolded, the system suddenly emitted a familiar notification sound.
"rare!"
Immediately afterwards, a warm current surged from his body, quickly spreading throughout his entire being. Naruto moved his arms and legs in surprise, clearly feeling his muscles become firmer and his joints more flexible.
My body has been enhanced?! And it's working so fast?
It seems the system's rewards are more reliable than I expected. Naruto's spirits lifted, and he immediately started opening the remaining cards.
Congratulations on receiving: 10,000 taels (the universal currency of the Naruto world)
Congratulations on obtaining: Chakra +5
[Congratulations on obtaining: Fire Release Chakra Adaptation and Mastery Nature Transformation!]
Another "Rare!" notification sound rang out. This time, Naruto felt a surge of heat within his body. However, compared to the previous warm enhancement, this felt more like the awakening of some kind of talent. He could clearly sense that the chakra within his body seemed to have become more active, and his affinity for fire-attribute had significantly increased.
It seems to be a talent-based reward.
Only two cards remained. Naruto stared at the system interface, his heart pounding faster than usual. He was incredibly tempted by the system's so-called "legendary" reward; if he could unlock a pair of Rinnegan, wouldn't that be an instant power boost?
Taking a deep breath, I tapped the second-to-last card with slightly trembling fingers.
Congratulations on obtaining: 500 grams of Chakra Metal
It's this again...
Although he knew that chakra-conducting metal was a precious material for making high-grade ninja tools, what use was it to him now? He didn't know how to forge, and there was no need for high-grade blades. Was he supposed to ask the Third Hokage for help? How would he explain the origin of this rare metal then?
"Oh, I found this." Would he believe me?
Shaking his head to shake off these sentimental worries, Naruto turned his gaze to the last card. The instant his fingertip touched it, the system suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling purple light, and a deep, resonant notification sound exploded in his mind.
"epic!"
[Congratulations on obtaining: Naruto the Movie Selection Chest!]
[Item Description: You can choose one of the following three options]
1. One-tenth of the Zero-Tails' dark chakra.
2. Whirlpool-shaped hemp surface (template trial card three times)
