Whoosh!"
A ray of light shot into his vision, and Yueshu opened his eyes.
The sky was dark, even the white clouds were stained red. This place was unfamiliar, unlike the clear blue Yueshu remembered, as if the entire sky had pressed down.
The sound of burning fire crackled in his ears, sizzling, accompanied by a strange smell.
"Where is this?"
Yueshu gritted his teeth, his head felt like it was filled with lead, too heavy to get up.
Despite his best efforts, Yueshu still couldn't stand up; he could only manage to roll over and then struggle to prop himself up.
Scanning his surroundings, the ground was scorched earth.
Small flames quietly burned, the surrounding trees had been reduced to ash, and bodies lay scattered on the ground, one here, one there.
Most importantly, each of these individuals was covered in blood, half their bodies concealed by black ash.
…
In his memory, not long ago, he was still playing games all night at home, just catching up on sleep because he couldn't stay awake any longer. How did catching up on sleep lead him to this place?
"System binding in progress, 10%…30%...100%."
"System binding successful."
"Myriad Worlds Lottery System, soul binding successful."
Myriad Worlds Lottery System?
Sudden electronic sounds echoed in his mind, making Yueshu shiver.
Having been a shut-in for over twenty years, Yueshu was very clear about the meaning of a system.
This was the essential cheat for transmigrators; almost all transmigrators, with the help of a system, reached the pinnacle of their lives after transmigration.
As he thought about it, Yueshu became excited.
So, he also caught up with the transmigration trend?
And he even got a system cheat. From now on, he would reach the pinnacle of his life. Just thinking about it could make him wake up laughing, right?
"System, introduce your functions?"
Yueshu mentally called out to the system, just like in novels.
"Replying to Host, the Myriad Worlds Lottery System can bring Host items and skills from the Myriad Worlds."
"So I can also get abilities from other worlds?"
"Yes, the Myriad Worlds Lottery System will assist Host in becoming the Lord of Dimensions."
"How do I obtain those abilities?"
"Complete missions. Depending on the difficulty, you can obtain a certain number of lottery chances. Please explore on your own, Host… Due to successful initial binding, the system will reward Host with one Myriad Worlds Lottery draw."
"Reward one draw?"
"The Myriad Worlds Lottery is the only way for Host to obtain Myriad Worlds abilities. Rewards are completely random, with SSS-rank being the best and E-rank being the worst."
"Then draw."
"Understood."
Yueshu communicated with the system in his mind. Although he didn't get much information, at least there was a beginner's package.
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the ability — Rasengan (A-Rank)."
"Lottery complete. At this stage, Host needs to explore this dimensional world independently. The system will enter dormancy except during lottery draws. Other than that, the system only provides the attribute panel and mission panel."
"————"
Yueshu had just started to feel happy after hearing he drew Rasengan, but he didn't expect the system to go dormant immediately?
"Hey, System, you're too useless."
"Wait."
Yueshu had just called out, but the cold electronic voice was no longer in his mind.
To be honest, Yueshu really didn't expect it to turn out this way. The promised cheat system went dormant after only about a minute.
Sighing, Yueshu was helpless.
"Attributes."
Muttering to himself, Yueshu decided to check his current situation.
Name: Ji Shen Yueshu
Status: Normal (System has restored negative statuses upon successful binding.)
Ability: Rasengan (A-Rank)
Combat Power: Unranked (??)
Friendly Reminder: Combat power refers to the level of combat ability that can be exerted. Levels are divided into Unranked, Genin, Chunin, Jonin, Kage, Super Kage, Six Paths, God. Each tier has a range and not all levels are at the same standard.
"————"
Yueshu was also stunned, not expecting this attribute panel to be so concise. Other systems would list all five sensory attributes, but this panel seemed to say nothing, and it even had a friendly reminder.
"How unlucky, it's completely unreliable. Is my combat power really just unranked?" Yueshu no longer felt that heavy sensation, he complained and then stood up.
This level description already gave him some understanding of which world and era he was in.
The surroundings were gloomy, giving a sense of oppression, and Yueshu also felt a chill in his heart.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by.
A black shadow flew past, and Yueshu lightly shifted his body to dodge it.
"What—the hell—"
Yueshu cursed.
"Mission triggered: Kill the Rain Ninja Genin in front of you. Reward: one lottery draw."
The emotionless electronic voice rang in his mind, and Yueshu was slightly stunned.
"I didn't expect a little brat to slip through."
A voice came from ahead, and Yueshu shifted his gaze.
It was an adult man in cloth armor, wearing a forehead protector with four vertical marks carved on it.
"Waging war on our land, just because we are weak? What great Ninja Villages? Just a bunch of scoundrels!"
The man gritted his teeth, his entire body appeared extremely disheveled, covered in wounds, and half his body soaked in blood.
The man held a Kunai and slowly walked closer, step by step.
Yueshu's breathing quickened; he was just a shut-in and had never experienced such a scene.
"Damn it!"
Yueshu cursed. Other people's transmigrations were all about showing off and reaching the pinnacle of life, but his transmigration's style was all wrong. He encountered a Rain Ninja right at the start, and judging by his words, he seemed to be in a bad time period.
"A mere brat is quite good, worthy of being from Konoha, eh?"
The man revealed a sinister smile, gripping his Kunai and charging straight forward.
"Konoha?"
Yueshu was momentarily bewildered, but there was no time for him to daze.
The Rain Ninja's figure darted closer and closer, and Yueshu's hands trembled continuously.
Taking a deep breath, he drew out the Chakra threads within his body. The only thing he possessed was the Rasengan he had just drawn.
"Die!"
The Rain Ninja shouted, his body already in front of him.
Yueshu didn't blink, timing it just right to dodge the Kunai the man swung at him.
"That was close."
Yueshu was also breathing heavily. He could hardly believe it; he was just a shut-in, and even though he used to be an athletic boy, could he really have performed that move just now?
Without thinking too much, the Chakra within his body surged out and gathered in Yueshu's hand.
The Rain Ninja also seemed to sense something amiss; having already experienced war, he wouldn't wait for Yueshu to unleash a powerful move.
"Go to hell!"
The Rain Ninja yelled, his blood-stained arm swinging the Kunai to stab at Yueshu.
His breathing slowly, the man's movements slowly in his eyes, Yueshu's eyes flashed, and he shifted his body, narrowly dodging the Kunai by its edge.
The Rain Ninja's pupils contracted; in his eyes, a small figure lunged forward.
"Rasengan!"
As the sound echoed, wind constantly swirled around. Yueshu, holding a blue-white spinning spherical object, struck the Rain Ninja's body.
The next second, the Rain Ninja's body flew directly backward, like a thin piece of paper.
With a thud, the Rain Ninja crashed into a tree, his entire body slightly embedded within it.
Yueshu was breathing heavily. He hadn't expected to actually succeed. It felt as if it were innate; following his instincts, he truly unleashed the Hokage's signature Ninjutsu—Rasengan.
The man in front of him fell with a thud, his eyes slowly dimming. There was a spiral wound on his body, bloodless, yet heartbreaking to see.
"Hahaha."
The man began to laugh, his voice weak.
"What did we do wrong? Were we weak? Because we were weak? Don't drag our families into your affairs!"
Yueshu watched the man from the side. The man clenched his hands, pure tears flowing from his dim eyes.
"Rest in peace."
Yueshu was silent for a moment, then placed his hands over the man's face, drawing them across. The man's eyes closed, but that single crystal tear remained there.
"Killed Rain Ninja, mission complete, reward: one lottery draw."
The electronic voice sounded in his mind, but Yueshu felt little joy.
Smoke billowed all around, and mutilated corpses lay scattered everywhere. Their dim eyes were still open, and the forehead protectors covered in black ash were uniformly marked with four vertical lines, with only a few other distinguishing marks.
These were Rain Ninja forehead protectors, and the scorched earth beneath his feet was undoubtedly Rain Ninja Village.
Yueshu gritted his teeth. As a seasoned shut-in, he naturally knew which world he was in and what period it was.
The situation he was currently facing was undoubtedly the Second Ninja World War from Naruto, where conflicts between the great Ninja Villages erupted in Rain Ninja Village, innocently dragging the people of Rain Ninja Village into the abyss of war.
"War, huh?"
Yueshu murmured softly to himself. At this very moment, he was the only living person in this area—
