Chapter 208: Akatsuki Organization's Active Achievements and the Ten-Pull Draw
[System maintenance has ended.]
[Added Achievement page and Special Skill card pool.]
Hearing the system prompt, Naruto immediately shifted his attention away from the television.
Hinata was in the kitchen preparing dinner, so he didn't have to worry about her noticing anything unusual.
A pale blue screen appeared before his eyes—or rather, on his retinas.
There were two icons on it.
On the left was the word [Achievements], and on the right was the word [Card Pool].
Naruto controlled his consciousness to click on the left side.
[Achievement List.]
A single, bare line appeared.
Clicking again, it split into two lines: Passive Achievements and Active Achievements.
There wasn't much to say about Passive Achievements; it displayed a total of forty-nine currently completed ones.
The legend of the white snake was an Active Achievement, so it wasn't included there.
However, Naruto couldn't help but look surprised when he looked at the Active Achievements.
They were arranged by person's name.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Strongest Hokage (Expired).]
[Danzo: I Have No Interest in Being Hokage.]
[Tsunade: I Will Definitely Win It All.]
[Jiraiya: A Man of Integrity Who Cannot Be Tempted.]
[Orochimaru: legend of the white snake(Completed).]
The first few were ones he had seen before, with the only difference being that the achievement names had changed slightly.
In addition, Naruto noticed two hidden rules.
First, if an Active Achievement is not completed, it becomes invalid after the target dies.
Second, a person can have more than one Active Achievement.
After Orochimaru's, a second Active Achievement appeared.
[A Mother is Strong for Her Child.]
The literal meaning was easy to understand.
But completing it would still require a certain amount of planning.
Next were the newly appeared names.
[Uchiha Itachi: I Really Don't Have a Single Drop Left.]
[Deidara: Good Luck, Big Brother Who Flies the Spaceship! ♦♦ ♦♦]
[Uchiha Obito: The Lonely Villain.]
[Konan: World's Number One Idol.]
[Nagato: Potato Server.]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: Just Smile.]
[Black Zetsu: Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother.]
[White Zetsu: Master, Please Stop Chanting.]
[Uzumaki Naruto Shadow Clone: Scourge of the Nation, I Tried My Best, Kars in the Sky Doesn't Speak.]
Besides these, there were others like Mei Terumī, Ōnoki, and Kakashi, but their names were grayed out, meaning they hadn't been unlocked yet.
Naruto pressed his hand to his forehead.
His urge to complain was rapidly charging up.
Setting aside those weird achievement names, why were his Shadow Clones mixed in with the Akatsuki Organization?
And while everyone else had one achievement, his Shadow Clone actually had three.
Fine, he'd accept having three—after all, who told him to be so handsome and excellent?
But what the hell are these things?!
There were so many points to roast that he didn't even know where to start.
Attempted to analyze; analysis failed.
Naruto chose to give up; anyway, they were his Shadow Clone's achievements, nothing to do with him.
It's just that the first two achievements sounded so much like that 'Naruko'.
As for the rest, they were all members of the Akatsuki Organization.
He didn't know what to say.
He could only force a smile.
After all, they all provided rewards.
As for how to complete them, he would worry about that when he actually met them.
Naruto exited the Achievement page and entered the Special Card Pool.
It was a void altar formed by three circles.
The colors from the outside to the inside were Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond, corresponding to the four levels of cards.
The card pool had two options.
One was to view the cards in the pool and the current Rate-Up.
The other was the entry for inserting destiny stones.
Naruto naturally wanted to see what special skill cards were available first.
[One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, Gate of Babylon, Last Breath, Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Flying Fairy from the Heavens.]
[Shushan Sword Kinesis, Druid Transformation, Heavenly Street Patrol, Evil-Resisting Sword Art, Six Meridian Divine Sword.]
[Wedding Gown Divine Art, Invincible Vajra Art, Underworld Protection, Spirit Dispatching, Eight Branches Technique.]
There were fifteen cards in total.
They came from completely different worlds.
Because of the different power systems, the system would generally perform a localization modification.
Naruto wasn't worried about that.
He was only worried about whether he could actually draw them.
Among them, the current Rate-Up was the Six Meridian Divine Sword, with a probability of 3%.
There were two more lines of explanation at the bottom.
[The Card Pool Rate-Up changes once a month.]
[The Card Pool content will be increased periodically.]
Naruto understood as soon as he saw it.
A beginner's card pool.
He got it.
The destiny stones used for drawing cards looked like translucent hexagonal crystals.
They looked very beautiful, but they had no energy fluctuations.
He didn't know what material they were made of.
Furthermore, Naruto couldn't materialize them outside his body.
Generally speaking, items produced by the system had two characteristics.
Inside his body, they could be spiritualized.
This was also why he could feed them to Kurama.
Outside the body, they could be materialized.
Naruto currently had three destiny stones, which came from the maintenance compensation.
Naruto took one out and threw it in.
No reaction.
"So it's not one stone for one draw?"
Naruto took out another one.
A moment later, nothing had happened.
"Hey, this is way too stingy!"
Naruto painfully threw the last one in.
The altar in front of him lit up with a colorful light and began to spin rapidly.
Countless phantoms lit up one after another.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Evil-Resisting Sword Art.]
[item card: Evil-Resisting Sword Art (Modified).]
[Description: Permanent skill. To practice this art, one must first castrate oneself. From 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.' The moves are strange and unpredictable. Those with deep internal power can master it quickly.]
[Note: Internal power is replaced by Chakra in the Ninja World.]
Naruto almost wanted to cough up blood.
What the hell?
Do you know I want to castrate Jiraiya?
Did you give this to me on purpose?
But if Jiraiya learned the Evil-Resisting Sword Art, could he beat him?
That was a good question.
Naruto's thoughts suddenly drifted far away.
And he also had a doubt.
Since the system replaced internal power with Chakra, could Kurama learn it?
Cough, never mind, just thinking about it was terrifying.
"I pulled a whole lot of nothing."
Naruto was full of resentment and asked again, "System, how do I get these destiny stones?"
[The host has completed a total of 50 achievements and will receive 150 destiny stones.]
"Holy crap?!"
The suddenly generous system made Naruto blurt out a curse.
My god, am I dreaming?
But thinking about it carefully, it wasn't particularly generous.
After all, completing one achievement only gave three stones.
These fifty achievements had taken him fourteen long years to accumulate.
Setting aside the first few years, it would take at least four or five years to get this many destiny stones.
Naruto thought for a moment.
Let's do a ten-pull draw.
He put in thirty destiny stones.
The altar immediately flashed with colorful light, even more dazzling than before.
Naruto rubbed his hands together.
The first light appeared before him.
[Thank you for your patronage.]
"???"
Naruto's face was full of question marks.
You can actually get a blank draw?
System, I'm sorry, I underestimated you.
[Maybe next time.]
[Good luck.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Heavenly Street Patrol.]
Naruto finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[item card: Heavenly Street Patrol.]
[Description: Permanent skill. From 'Genshin Impact's' Keqing. Hide yourself in sword shadows and launch a large-scale series of Lightning-attribute slashes at enemies. The final strike deals extra high damage.]
Naruto stroked his chin.
This was a golden card.
Based on past experience, it should have the power of at least an S-rank Ninjutsu.
Well, not bad.
Sasuke has Kirin, and I have 'Gua Sha'... cough, I mean, Heavenly Street Patrol.
The altar continued to spin.
[Thank you for your patronage x3.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Six Meridian Divine Sword.]
[item card: Six Meridian Divine Sword(Modified).]
[Description: Permanent skill. From 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.' A sword technique that accumulates internal power at the fingertips and bursts it out instantly, causing it to move at high speed through the air.]
[Note: Internal power is replaced by Chakra in the Ninja World.]
Not too bad.
It could be used to ambush people from the shadows.
The rest were all 'Thank you for your patronage.'
How should he put it?
His luck was average.
But they were all freebies.
Naruto didn't feel particularly disappointed.
After all, he still had 120 destiny stones and four achievement card draws left unused.
He had already drawn this period's Rate-Up card; he'd wait for the next one.
He really wanted One Qi Transforms into Three Purities and the Gate of Babylon.
The former most likely split into two clones identical to the original body.
As for the latter, owning it was equivalent to owning ten million treasures; at least he'd never be poor again in this lifetime.
Of course, he was also quite interested in others like the Flying Fairy from the Heavens and Sword Kinesis.
And since Xianxia skills were appearing, true immortality techniques would likely appear later on.
