"Gold!!"
A massive roulette wheel appeared in the void as Uchiha Ren hit the draw button, clenching his fist so tightly his fingers turned pale.
Ten pulls at once.
He no longer believed in miracles from single draws—those had never once favored him.
The rewards flashed by rapidly.
"Television."
"Refrigerator."
"One piece of high-quality chakra-conductive metal."
"Air conditioner."
"A bench."
"Ninjutsu: Impure World Reincarnation."
"Three kunai."
"A radio."
"Three explosive tags."
"Six Gods!"
Six whites, three greens, one red.
"Still no gold… damn it, useless system."
After venting, Ren calmed down and reassessed the results.
The chakra metal alone could sell for hundreds of thousands of ryō, even over a million on the black market.
That alone made the pull worthwhile.
The appliances, however, were useless for now—Konoha didn't even have stable electricity.
His attention shifted to the true prize: Impure World Reincarnation.
This was the real jackpot.
A forbidden technique capable of dragging souls back from the Pure Land.
When Ren had first read it in the Scroll of Seals, it was crude—revived shinobi were weak, barely usable beyond suicide attacks.
But this version… was complete.
Extract.
All knowledge of the technique flooded into his mind instantly.
Ren opened the task panel.
One mission stood out.
Obtain the acknowledgment of previous Hokage.
The method was obvious—bring them back.
Hashirama would be easy.
With no prior interaction, winning his approval through ideals like the Will of Fire should be simple.
Tobirama… was another matter entirely.
Ren could already imagine the reaction.
"You evil Uchiha brat…"
Yeah, that wouldn't go smoothly.
Still, the thought amused him.
Tobirama's chosen successor was dead—killed by Ren himself.
And now, Ren wore the Hokage robes.
That expression would be worth seeing.
No more delay.
Tonight, he would act.
Late at night, around two or three, Ren slipped into Konoha's cemetery.
No one would be wandering here—unless they were grave robbers too.
Standing before Hashirama's grave, he formed hand seals.
"Earth Style: Earth Movement Technique."
His body merged into the soil, descending swiftly.
Below lay a chamber—Hokage burials were elaborate.
Opening the coffin, Ren's pupils shrank.
The body was perfectly preserved.
No decay.
Cells still brimming with vitality.
Even in death, Hashirama's body radiated life.
Ren didn't hesitate.
He sealed the entire body into a scroll.
Such a treasure couldn't remain buried.
Next was Tobirama.
Same process, same chamber—
But when the coffin opened, a foul stench hit him.
This one was very much dead.
Ren ignored it and sealed the body as well.
Fair treatment for brothers.
Mission complete, he returned home swiftly.
The lights were still on.
Feng and Ling were waiting.
"You're still awake?"
"Mm."
They answered softly, clearly exhausted.
Ren felt a rare warmth.
After a quick bath to wash off the graveyard's bad luck, he returned.
Pulling them both into his arms, he lay down.
No thoughts, no plans—just rest.
The quiet warmth lulled him into sleep.
