【Mission: During the second stage of the Chūnin Exams, protect Uchiha Sasuke and prevent him from being bitten by Orochimaru. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9sqF11Q09

Mission requirements: None】
“O… Orochimaru!?”
Karin’s whole body trembled.
She knew exactly who Orochimaru was.
One of the legendary Sannin!
“I… I’m just an ordinary genin… 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Csvsi6zG
How could I possibly fight against one of the Sannin!?”
“Have some confidence.”
Byakuya seemed to see through Karin’s thoughts. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeZqbAjhh2
He gave her an indifferent glance, then spoke slowly: 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMUP0RpCbB
“You’re a core member of the organization now. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr8ciMI3hx
And your strength has already increased tremendously. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc382aBTcgX
Go back and practice the Phoenix King Mode properly. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLCjvOGKMv
Forget just protecting someone in front of Orochimaru— 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbsxr1pwoP
you could even beat him to a pulp on the spot without breaking a sweat. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEer6uilnf
Now go.”
“I…”
Karin looked at Byakuya’s face and caught the pleasant scent of his chakra. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41i5bXGELj
She almost wanted to act spoiled for a moment.
But when she saw that cold, detached expression, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp0VhO9sed
she reluctantly turned and left the bookstore.
“Reviving Rin really was the right move! 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCK6MSDQCa
This wave… 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKlkyzyqGZ
total profit!”
Watching Karin’s retreating back, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FeDGZ9sRQ
a smile finally appeared on Byakuya’s face.
He wasn’t actually from this world. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhKpmfQlhh
Eight years ago, on a certain day, he had transmigrated into the Naruto world. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOpykVAiWz
At first, he had been panicked and terrified. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fh8uPl5E3
Because he understood very well: 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsbrX0o65n
in the Naruto world, without a kekkei genkai, without a clan, without secret techniques, and with both parents already dead in sacrifice— 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyXhNJaxlJ
he was nothing more than cannon fodder.
But after awakening the “Spirit Lottery System,” 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV34rR1fjGI
he finally found hope in life again.
The “Spirit Lottery System,” as the name suggested, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Ep81plnO
was a system that allowed him to spend plot points to draw prizes. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcHpCZH2GZ
The rewards fell into four categories: Pokémon spirit cards, special rewards, daily necessities, and abilities from the Naruto world.
Special rewards were… well, special. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lqrTjt9bO
So far he had received two: 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsXeQuFIl5
one was a 10% luck buff! 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3dHhdVFSi
The other was the “Spirit Pavilion” organization system. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgtuvhBpgu
With this special organization system, he could easily build and manage the group— 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5AC9As2p7
creating communication rings, organization uniforms, and so on. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TmpCOmSqV
Things like signing contracts, instantly crushing the soul of anyone who signed… 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tcdU4Pjmi
all of that was made possible by this system.
Spirit cards were the kind he had used on Karin. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCFjXDTYpt
They could instantly turn someone into a jinchūriki, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XVZDQa7Gh
causing their strength to explode upward. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VNGAleesp
Higher-grade cards also came with additional skills: increased total chakra, improved chakra control, boosted physical strength, and more. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO7ZYmP0h3
Diamond-grade spirit cards could even personally guide the jinchūriki in ninjutsu training!
They were by far the most common and useful prize.
Daily necessities were basically the “thanks for participating” consolation prizes.
As for the plot points required for the lottery— 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UnI6udN24
they could only be obtained by changing the story of the world.
Although Byakuya’s actual combat strength was quite mediocre, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt27UoRcFCn
over these eight years he had still accomplished quite a lot.
For example: 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuScKSM8MB
He had saved Hyūga Hinata, and with his handsome appearance, successfully made her fall for him. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW5PYHxwLP
Changing the plot earned him 100,000 plot points from Hinata alone. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgnj5LQjQE
And another 1,000,000 plot points from Uzumaki Naruto.
Another example: 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu5FOhXivK
He studied hard. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6J4rUVHLe
Combined with lottery rewards that boosted his chakra reserves, chakra control, and some basic ninjutsu, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7StCj4wnp
he steadily outperformed Uchiha Sasuke, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop4oIsTMOe
becoming the undisputed top student of the Academy. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VnY6Njepq
Add in his handsome looks and aloof demeanor, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhaFh21zru
and suddenly he had captured the hearts of quite a few girls.
Haruno Sakura gave him 500,000 plot points. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeUicaoO8J
Yamanaka Ino contributed 10,000. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7TOGtuL9Y
And after becoming number one and winning Sakura’s affection, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Ehff1Ky2
it triggered a chain reaction: 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPIiaEYW2Z
another 100,000 from Uzumaki Naruto, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJtwIHQKO4
and a whopping 1,000,000 from Uchiha Sasuke.
Of course, killing or screwing over major characters could also net huge amounts of plot points… 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS3TNcjJVE
but that would cut off his ability to farm plot points long-term. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eLM2mlszI
Besides, major characters were all blessed with great destiny—he might not even be able to kill them.
……
With so many plot points in hand, he began drawing like crazy. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jfazFzopE
100 plot points per draw. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcXCRu9rmk
He pulled countless bronze spirit cards, countless daily items… 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETsabCEJh5
until finally, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1gXoUdMlz
he fused a massive number of spirit cards 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzeaYtxcS3
and synthesized one diamond-grade spirit card—Phoenix King!
His strength had also risen to the level of an ordinary jōnin.
At first, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m3uHw0w7T
he had planned to use the Phoenix King card on himself. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFacWiATwVT
But its effects were far too support-oriented—doubling the power of healing ninjutsu, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0KmscVCoc
and the skill itself was rather underwhelming—revival. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabWIgCDISA
Plus, a person could only equip one spirit card.
If he gave the spirit card to a subordinate, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFGkVFCOKc
he himself could still gain the card’s skills and effects.
So, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPPvFskXXI
he gave up on using Phoenix King personally 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdltipdnQvP
and began searching for someone perfectly compatible with the card. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpC39eMapW
And today, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SoEw6mvSp
he finally found the perfect match—Karin.
That was how everything that followed came to be.
“Reviving Rin actually gave me a straight 5,000,000 plot points… 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmg6Yzvlyz
That’s honestly terrifying~”
Looking at Nohara Rin, still unconscious beside him, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlEjMC3GIO
Byakuya couldn’t help but smile.
“As expected of the woman who could sway the entire direction of this world’s story.”
Byakuya took out a set of organization uniform 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcGxTDBkrd
and carefully dressed Nohara Rin in it. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QOpS8FUvb
Then he took her hand 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdiDfbhrp5
and directly signed the organization contract with her.
For most people, he would need their consent to form the contract and control their soul. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e4Ximqfau
But… 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyffynEVCj1
Nohara Rin was someone Karin had revived from death. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0BChvo0Pk
Therefore, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuL4hxKHUY
her consent wasn’t required—he could forcibly sign her without permission.
“Buzz—”
With a wave of energy, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdSPD7CI7N
an intricate, mysterious connection formed between Byakuya and Nohara Rin. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qnRhgIkNJ
At the same time, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivdVo5qJk0
an “X”-shaped mark appeared over her heart.
Just like with Karin, 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCVZCqCXuG
Byakuya could now decide Nohara Rin’s life or death with a single thought. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4suR20Apv
Though that was the limit— 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9CESHFK18
he couldn’t control her like a puppet.
“Kakashi!”
At that moment, Nohara Rin suddenly woke up. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI92UBtTX1Z
She bolted upright and shouted “Kakashi!” 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMurHwN9vM7
Then, dazed, she looked around.
“I… I’m not dead?”
“No. You’ve been reborn.”
Nohara Rin was startled by the sudden cold voice. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrXS1GGqtu
She quickly turned her head— 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDcSZBbVxX
and saw a very good-looking boy. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEeFo8ZKGc
He looked about twelve years old. 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA7RCs6r2h
No forehead protector, so she couldn’t tell whether he was a ninja or not.
“Where… where am I? 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZCEB0I6ri
You… 10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0neYIB7gfZ
Who are you!?”
and then Add to home screen.
