"Every card in the Ninja Card Slot Machine is valuable!" the system assured confidently. "Each card has its own worth; it all depends on how you use it!"
Hearing this, Aoi Ren's blood raced, and he immediately decided to spin again...
"Ding-a-ling..."
10,000 points vanished. Three more white cards appeared in his inventory: White Cat (Adult: Speed), Black Cat (Young: Moe Attribute), Ino (Young)...
The adult White Cat granted +1 Speed, though unfortunately, the Moe Attribute boost was gone.
"Again!"
He had been so close to getting Senju Hashirama last time—just a hair's breadth away. He refused to give up; he knew he could draw it eventually!
White Cat (Elderly), Black Cat (Adult: Bad Luck), Konohamaru (Young)...
"Again!"
As the saying goes: Spinning once feels great, spinning forever feels amazing. He had nearly 200,000 points saved up—there was no way he wouldn't pull a top-tier ninja!
As long as he got an A-rank ninja, it would be worth it!

Ten minutes later...
"Huff... huff..." Aoi Ren gasped for breath, yanking the lever violently. "Give me something good!!!"
But then...
Something strange happened. The lever wouldn't budge. No matter how hard he pulled, it didn't move an inch.
"System! What's going on? Is the machine broken?!" His eyes were bloodshot—his Six Paths Madara card was still waiting for him!!!
"The machine is functioning normally. If it won't start, please check your account balance," the system replied calmly. Implied message: You're broke...
"Balance?" He scoffed—he had saved up a fortune of 200,000 points, how could he possibly...
"It's actually gone?!"
Character: Aoi Ren
Remaining Points: 302
It finally hit him: each spin cost 10,000 points. His 200,000 was only enough for twenty spins. Gone in less than five minutes.
He winced at the realization. You never realize how little money you have until you spend it... and now my pockets are empty.
The points were spent, and refunds were impossible. He might as well check what he'd actually won.
Total: 60 character cards.
- Common animals, ordinary people: most of them
- Genin-level: only 5 cards
- Chūnin-level: only 1 card
Nara Shikamaru (Young)
His only Chūnin card was young Shikamaru. Truth be told, back then Shikamaru wasn't much stronger than the other eleven young Genin prodigies...
Still, his attributes gave Aoi Ren some comfort.
Nara Shikamaru: +1 Calmness, +1 Speed. Special Ability: Shadow Imitation Technique. Binding strength scales with the user's own power.
Equipping the card, Aoi Ren immediately felt a cool, steady sensation seep into his mind, clearing his thoughts instantly.
But once he calmed down, he realized...
I've been played!
Blinded by the system's hype, he'd blown his entire fortune of 200,000 points on gambling. Now he couldn't even afford to buy upgrades or supplements for his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai...
No merchant is honest—even a system slot machine. You really have to be careful with gacha...
The drop rates were ridiculously low...
With only 302 points left, he felt completely insecure. He needed to earn more points, fast.
With that thought, he took out the silver Training Scroll.
"Spending was fun... now it's time to pay the debt!"
He unrolled it and scanned the timeline. When he reached the arc: "Birth of Naruto • Nine-Tails Rampage," he almost tapped it instinctively. The Asura Kekkei Genkai required to fully unlock his Six Paths Sage Body could only be obtained here. Following his usual method, success was almost guaranteed...
But after hesitating for a long moment, he selected a different timeline instead...
