Chapter 75: Ten Consecutive Draws
🕑 Added 2023-09-15 16:30:01 +0000 UTCCharles started by taking a bath and changing into clean clothes. Then, he inspected the bathroom, and finally, he moved to the empty space in the living room.
He lit some candles and placed several gold bricks around them. He also set up delicious ramen, hamburgers, fried chicken, and cola in the vicinity of the candles.
With his left hand placed over his chest, he chanted, "Oh, wise one from a different era, mysterious master above the mist, the black and yellow king of good fortune, please listen to my prayer. I beseech you to grant me a powerful ninja as I desire."
After completing the prayer ritual, Charles's consciousness entered the system space.
"Ninja recruitment, ten consecutive draws, go!"
The swirling whirlpool symbol of the Hidden Leaf Village appeared before his eyes, emitting a peculiar radiance. After a dazzling display of light, the recruitment results appeared in Charles's vision.
Ding! Obtained a B-rank ninja, 1 fragment of "Naruto: Shippuden" Tenten!
Ding! Obtained a C-rank ninja, 1 fragment of Naruto Uzumaki!
Ding! Obtained an A-rank ninja, 4 fragments of Might Guy!
Ding! Obtained a C-rank ninja, 2 fragments of Ninja Academy Naruto!
Ding! Obtained a C-rank ninja, Shizune!
Ding! Obtained an A-rank ninja, 1 fragment of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" Mitsuki!
Ding! Obtained a B-rank ninja, 4 fragments of Young Kakashi Hatake!
Ding! Obtained a C-rank ninja, 2 fragments of Rin Nohara!
Ding! Obtained a C-rank ninja, 1 fragment of Temari of the Sand!
Ding! Obtained a C-rank ninja, 1 fragment of Jirobo!
Observing the subtitles that popped up on the screen, Charles congratulated himself for successfully recruiting C-rank ninja Shizune.
Next, he saw her in the Japanese-style outfit from the manga. Although Shizune was rated as a C-rank ninja in the Naruto mobile game, she was undoubtedly a bona fide Jonin at this point.
Most importantly, she was an exceptionally skilled medical ninja, making her a valuable asset. Charles wouldn't even trade her for a B-rank ninja.
He opened Shizune's details and immediately checked her ninja skills.
Shizune: C-rank ninja
Skills: Ninjutsu - Poison Mist, Senbon Rain, Swine Return: Piggy Dance
Ninjutsu - Poison Mist: Converts chakra and spews it forward, instantly transforming it into a large poison mist upon contact with the air. The mist continuously corrodes enemies it touches.
Senbon Rain: Leaps backward and fires a barrage of poison needles at the ground. Enemies hit by the poison needles will be poisoned. Those with lower strength and low poison resistance will die directly, while those with higher resistance will suffer continued poisoning, harming their bodies.
Swine Return: Piggy Dance: Summons Tonton to charge forward and ram enemies. Shizune then uses a chakra scalpel to perform a rapid cross-cutting technique. Finally, she leaps backward and delivers another slashing attack, heavily injuring the enemy.
Looking at the three skills, especially the chakra scalpel in her ultimate move, Charles knew he finally had his medical ninja.
After the Candlelight prayer, he had finally welcomed his medical ninja—a future head of the medical department. She had trained under Tsunade for many years, making her a highly formidable medical ninja.
While she might not be on par with Tsunade, she was undoubtedly one of the top medical ninjas in the Shinobi world.
Charles was quite satisfied with this recruitment. Although he hadn't obtained a powerful ninja, he had found a significant addition to his medical skills.
He also wished for a ninja with scientific research abilities, but he knew that characters like Orochimaru, Sasori, and Deidara, who excelled in research, were of A or even S rank, making them difficult to recruit.
He didn't have high hopes for them at the moment. However, he felt that this summon gave pretty decent results.
Thinking about how he only needed one more ten-consecutive draw to guarantee S-rank ninja fragments, Charles felt more confident.
He clicked to receive the ninja fragments, and his chakra once again grew stronger. He now possessed Shizune's three active skills, including the chakra scalpel technique, although he lacked any medical knowledge.
With three more chances to use the Chidori now, Charles nodded in satisfaction. He then shifted his attention to the ninja fragments he had obtained.
Adding the four fragments of Might Guy to the four fragments from his previous summon, he now had a total of eight fragments, which was one-fifth of the way to recruiting him.
It gave him a feeling that success might not be too far off.
Even the fragments of the young Kakashi Hatake, whom Parker admired, appeared in this summon, and he obtained four fragments right away.
In addition, Ninja Academy students Naruto and Konohamaru were even closer to being recruited.
Charles had even obtained a fragment of Mitsuki from the Boruto series.
In this ten-consecutive summon, he obtained a total of 17 fragments, including 5 A-rank, 4 B-rank, and 8 C-rank ninja fragments, along with a medical ninja. It could be said that this summon was quite rewarding.
Surprisingly, he didn't get a single fragment of Hinata Hyuga, but he did obtain fragments of Temari instead. It seemed likely that if he tried a few more times, he would have a good chance of recruiting her.
With all the recruited ninja fragments safely collected, Charles checked his ninja roster. Four ninja were displayed: Iruka Umino, Rock Lee, [Sharingan] Sasuke Uchiha (Merged), and Shizune. Shizune had not been deployed for battle yet, but the other three were marked as deployed.
Seeing this situation, Charles furrowed his brow. He didn't want to recall any of the three deployed ninja to make room for Shizune. However, Shizune, as a medical ninja, was highly valuable.
He tapped on the + sign in the deploy column, and a prompt appeared.
Ding! Would you like to use 1000 gold coins to unlock a deploy slot?
The first time he increased the deploy slots, it cost 100 gold coins, and the second time it was 500 gold coins.
Today, for the third increase, it had become 1000 gold coins. Charles didn't know how much the cost would multiply for each additional slot, but he was aware of his current financial situation – he was nearly broke, with only 22 gold coins remaining.
Seeing the big number "1000 gold coins" and his meager 22 gold coins, Charles realized that dealing with the Dragon Vein matter was becoming urgent.
If he didn't want to recall one of his deployed ninja, he needed to figure out a way to obtain items for recharging and unlock new deploy slots.
As for whether the Dragon Vein could indeed be used for recharging, Charles was not entirely sure. It was still just a guess, and he hadn't confirmed it yet.
Exiting the system space, Charles looked at the spread of food and the candles that were still burning. He extinguished the candles and stored them away. He also stashed the delicious ramen into the system space.
Then, he started devouring the hamburgers, fried chicken, and cola that were in front of him. Since the deity hadn't taken these items away, he decided to fill his stomach with them.
