Along with a series of notifications, changes appeared on Ryuha Uchiha’s status panel.
[Special Bond “Oath of White Fang” Bound: Target individual Sakumo Hatake possesses extremely high initial favorability and trust toward the Host.]
[Relationship automatically locked to: Guardian · Covenant!]
[Note: When the Host faces a fatal crisis, Sakumo Hatake will disregard all factions and rules, prioritizing the Host’s safety.]
[Bond effect can be strengthened as interaction deepens.]
He had no time to spare for other changes on the panel.
At this moment, all his attention was drawn to the flashing golden numbers in his mind.
Ten thousand Causality Points!
One Designated SSR Lottery Ticket!
And…
the sworn protection of a Kage-level powerhouse!
In that instant, Ryuha’s breath almost hitched.
After all, completing the graduation exam task with an S-rank evaluation had only awarded a few hundred points.
Defeating the Foundation shinobi, altering Ryuichi Matsumoto’s perception, and everything else combined…
Up until now, his total remaining balance of Causality Points had barely reached one thousand.
But this time…
A single mission had directly netted him ten thousand!
What did that even mean?
Ryuha’s consciousness swiftly accessed the System Mall interface.
Previously, due to a lack of points, he had only paid attention to the lowest-tier lottery.
But now, things were different.
The Mall interface expanded in his mind, split into three main areas:
[R-Rank Card Pool (100 Causality Points per draw, 10% off for 10-pulls)]
[Description: Randomly draws R-rank to SR-rank items, skills, and objects.]
[90% probability R, 9.99% probability SR, 0.01% probability SSR (Pity System: None)]
“It finally shows the drop rates, but having no pity system is way too punishing.”
Ryuha Uchiha felt a bit helpless.
[Elite Card Pool (1,000 Causality Points per draw, no discount)]
[Description: Randomly draws SR-rank to SSR-rank items, skills, and objects.]
[70% probability SR, 29.9% probability SSR, 0.1% probability UR (Seasonal Limited).]
[Pity System: Guaranteed SSR or higher every 10 draws.]
[Current Pity Progress: 0/10]
[Current Limited SP Item: Hogyoku.
(Advanced Recruitment Locked)]
[Targeted Card Pool (2,000 Causality Points per draw)]
[Description: Allows selection of a specific category for targeted draws.]
[Such as “Kido Special,” “Zanpakuto Special,” “Shunpo/Hakuda/Kido Comprehensive Special,” “Special Physique Special,” etc.]
[Draw range is restricted within the selected category, quality randomized (R–SSR).]
[Note: Targeted Card Pool has no pity system, but will not draw items outside the selected category.]
Each of the three card pools had its own strengths.
The normal pool cost 100 points per draw.
It was good for daily accumulation, but the chance of getting something good was extremely low.
Plus, it had no pity mechanism!
The Elite pool cost 1,000 points per draw, or 10,000 points for a ten-pull.
But the pity mechanism guaranteed at least one SSR—for Ryuha Uchiha, who urgently needed top-tier combat strength, this was undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice.
As for the Targeted pool…
At 2,000 points per draw, it was expensive.
He could worry about that later.
However, if he urgently needed a specific type of ability—such as higher-level Kido, a new Zanpakuto ability, or a special physique—this would be the only choice.
Ryuha currently held 10,000 points, which, added to his previous balance of 1,000 points, brought his total to 11,000 points!
Which meant he could do—
One Elite ten-pull (10,000 points), guaranteeing at least one SSR.
He definitely wouldn’t roll on the normal pool.
Based on Ryuha Uchiha’s past-life experience, gacha pools without pity systems were always bottomless money pits.
Rationally speaking, an Elite ten-pull had the highest value.
But…
Ryuha’s gaze fell upon his inventory.
Specifically, on the card quietly floating there, radiating a rainbow glow.
[Designated SSR Card Lottery Ticket]
[Description: Upon use, allows the user to specify and directly acquire the core ability of any character within the “Bleach” universe as a reward.]
[Selectable options include but are not limited to: Zanpakuto (Shikai/Bankai), Vollständig, Quincy Final Form, Hollowfication, Special Kido Talent, etc.]
[Note 1: The specified ability will automatically adapt to the Host’s current energy system (Spiritual Pressure) without requiring additional conversion.]
[Note 2: If the specified ability possesses multiple forms or growth stages (such as Zanpakuto Bankai), the corresponding stage will be unlocked based on the Host’s current strength.
Higher forms can be unlocked later through increasing compatibility or completing special tasks.]
[Note 3: Each character can only be selected once.
Please choose carefully.]
[Use immediately?]
Reading this description, Ryuha’s breathing grew rapid once more.
Specify…
the core ability of *any* character!
Sosuke Aizen’s Kyoka Suigetsu.
He already had the Shikai, but he could specify the Bankai.
Although Aizen’s Bankai was never shown in either the anime or the manga, since the system permitted it, that meant it was valid!
Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto’s Ryujin Jakka!
The strongest fire-element Zanpakuto, whose Bankai, “Zanka no Tachi,” possessed power capable of destroying Soul Society.
Kenpachi Zaraki’s wild combat instinct and infinite Spiritual Pressure growth potential.
Byakuya Kuchiki’s Senbonzakura, whose Bankai “Senbonzakura Kageyoshi” seamlessly combined offense and defense.
Gin Ichimaru’s Shinso, capable of extreme extension and retraction for a guaranteed kill.
Toshiro Hitsugaya’s Hyorinmaru, the strongest ice-element Zanpakuto!
Even…
Yhwach’s “The Almighty”?
No, that had already exceeded the SSR tier, but what about a “Schrift” ability?
Or perhaps the Quincy’s Blut or Blut Vene?
A Hollow’s High-Speed Regeneration?
An Arrancar’s Resurreccion?
There were too many options!
Countless powerful abilities existed in the *Bleach* universe, and any single one of them would be enough to cause a massive storm in the Naruto world!
And now, he could pick any single one of these abilities and acquire it directly.
Such temptation was enough to drive anyone mad.
Ryuha closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Calm down.
I must stay calm.
This designated ticket is far too precious; it absolutely cannot be wasted.
He already possessed Kyoka Suigetsu, the strongest illusion-type Zanpakuto with infinite potential.
Shunpo provided ghost-like mobility.
Shakaho served as a mid-range offensive option.
His shortcomings: a lack of a decisive, head-on ultimate move.
A lack of defensive capabilities, a lack of endurance for prolonged battles, and a lack of wide-area battlefield capabilities.
Thus, the direction of his choice had to make up for these shortcomings.
Ryuha Uchiha’s brain worked at high speed.
On offense: Ryujin Jakka, Senbonzakura, Shinso, and Hyorinmaru were all top-tier choices.
But Ryujin Jakka and Hyorinmaru were elemental attacks, which might be countered or replicated by corresponding elemental jutsu in the Naruto world.
Besides, given Ryujin Jakka’s immense power, it couldn’t possibly be an SSR anyway—it had to be at least a UR.
Senbonzakura and Shinso leaned more toward physical and rule-based mechanics, making them far harder to guard against.
On defense: Blut / Blut Vene, High-Speed Regeneration, or even the healing ability of Retsu Unohana’s Zanpakuto, Minazuki.
All were superb guarantees for survival.
Special abilities: Aizen’s Complete Hypnosis was already unique enough, but multi-functional Zanpakuto like Kisuke Urahara’s Benihime, or rule-based abilities like Yhwach’s The Almighty or Ichibe Hyosube’s Ichimonji possessed strategic value beyond measure.
And then…
growth potential.
Kenpachi Zaraki’s trait of growing stronger through combat was practically a cheat among cheats in the warfare-riddled Naruto world.
But Zaraki’s style relied too heavily on instinct and raw physical talent, which didn’t fit well with Ryuha Uchiha’s planned “mastermind behind the scenes” playstyle.
Option after option flashed through his mind, only to be temporarily set aside one by one.
This ticket had to be used where it mattered most.
“It seems…
I need to plan this carefully.”
Ryuha opened his eyes.
The golden data streams deep within his pupils gradually faded, returning to a calm dark brown.
He pushed up his glasses, forcing down the wild joy and excitement in his heart.
Now was not the time to make a decision.
The Kage-level aura that Konoha’s White Fang had unleashed earlier had already pierced through the barriers of Kyoka Suigetsu.
Outside, the Anbu were still waiting.
