Li Xi naturally heard it, but with a giant dragon on guard for a secret rendezvous, what did it matter if he was spoken about a few words? He quietly slipped into the room and felt the burning body on the carved bed, "Little lady, I've arrived."
"Quickly." An arm directly pulled Li Xi onto the bed. This single word of 'quick' was like the starting gun of a track and field race, like the sound of war drums during a major battle. A peerless demon king, given command, could freely destroy the world. With just this one word, Li Xi's blood boiled.
...........
When dawn broke, Ai Weier remembered to ask about Ai Si, "You came to my place as soon as you got back, aren't you afraid of Ai Si sister finding out?"
Li Xi chuckled wickedly, "Don't worry, I've placed a shadow clone next to her. I'll know the moment there's any disturbance."
"You're so wicked," Ai Weier giggled.
Li Xi put on an innocent face, "Isn't this the thrill you wanted?"
Having been with two women consecutively, Li Xi felt no soreness or weakness in his body. Good health was capital. It was already nearing noon when Li Xi finally felt that lingering in Ai Weier's bed was making him a bit decadent. A sudden addition was also not appropriate. A fine young man should strive and see the world's splendor, not lie in bed all day.
Under Ai Weier's disdainful gaze, Li Xi returned to the home he hadn't lived in for a long time. This had become Li Xi's temporary lodging. He never slept here at night, and Li Xi even worried that strange mushrooms would grow on his rafters.
After dismissing Sun Sandai, who was on lookout, Li Xi finally had time to begin his lottery draw.
"Xiao Fan, bring up the turntable."
"Okay, master."
The four-part turntable reappeared, with 'NIN' 'TAI' 'GEN' 'KEK' written on it, representing the four abilities of a ninja.
Li Xi extended his finger, intending to touch the 'KEK' representing Bloodline Limit, but stopped just as he was about to make contact.
The Kaguya Clan's technique could absorb five Bloodline Limits. Now that he had the Sharingan and the dragon's bloodline, and in his space ring lay the cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, which he would absorb sooner or later, he needed to leave a slot for it.
Adding the Flame Demon bloodline, for which Li Xi was hesitantly waiting for Demanga's confirmation, that made four already. Now, only one slot was left. If he drew something that wasn't very suitable for him, wouldn't it be very sad? This last slot had to be reserved for the most precious bloodline.
Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, Li Xi moved his finger away from the 'KEK' and looked at the other three.
The Genjutsu represented by 'GEN' was a ninjutsu Li Xi had never drawn before. His finger lingered here for a moment before moving away. Li Xi preferred head-on combat, preferring to crush his opponents with absolute strength, to feel the wails of their flesh and the sound of breaking bones, to feel the fear that trembled from the depths of their souls.
He was not skilled in delicate operations like Genjutsu and did not particularly like it. So, Li Xi moved his finger away from the 'GEN'. Of course, this was only because there were better choices now.
Next was 'TAI', representing Taijutsu. Having mastered the first three Gates of the Eight Inner Gates, Li Xi actually wanted this. If he could draw the latter five Gates, he would have another trump card. When facing an opponent like Dracula, he wouldn't be killed without resistance. At worst, he could activate Dragon Transformation, Human Transformation, and then the Eight Inner Gates, fighting to the death. Even in death, he would tear off a piece of the enemy's flesh, not be unable to even get close to the enemy with the intention to kill but biting his teeth until they broke.
"I choose this."
Li Xi's finger lightly tapped, but just as he was about to hit it, the turntable inexplicably spun, causing Li Xi's finger, which was about to land on 'TAI', to land on 'NIN'.
The turntable made its final choice. The 'TAI', 'GEN', and 'KEK' on the turntable disappeared, and the word 'NIN' began to fill the entire turntable.
Li Xi was greatly shocked, "Xiao Fan, what's going on? I chose Taijutsu, not Ninjutsu."
"Master, believe Xiao Fan, you pointed at this one."
Li Xi was angry. With his current strength, how could such a mistake occur? Even if an ant crawled past him, he wouldn't misjudge which leg it stepped with first. This was clearly the system's underhanded manipulation. "Xiao Fan, do you think I'm an idiot? Why did you modify my choice without authorization?"
"If you can make all the decisions for me, then what do I need… cough cough… to do? However, you should tell me in advance next time."
Li Xi's scolding was not finished when, after seeing what ninjutsu appeared on the turntable, he immediately changed his attitude. The storm instantly turned into a clear sky.
"Master, this was your own choice, and it has nothing to do with me." Xiao Fan washed his hands of the matter. For the master, he was also forced, but admitting it was absolutely impossible.
Li Xi rubbed his fingers, like a country farmer in the palace for the first time, grinning widely, "I understand, I understand."
It wasn't Li Xi's fault for acting this way. The ninjutsu drawn for promotion in mercenary rank was different from the ninjutsu obtained through normal missions.
The turntable divided into more than ten small grids, each with names written on them:
"Kisame Hoshigaki
Kurenai Yuhi
Genin Rock Lee
Rin (without Three-Tails)
Suigetsu Hozuki
Haku
Zabuza Momochi
Hidan"
So, the ninja rank promotion didn't yield individual ninjutsu, but individual ninjas!!!
"Xiao Fan, if I draw one of them, can I obtain all of their skills?" Li Xi's gaze was like Sun Sandai seeing a mountain of gold coins, his shining eyes seeming to illuminate the night sky.
"Yes, master."
"And chakra? Can I also obtain the same chakra?"
"No, master. Apart from the standard accompanying chakra, there is only ninjutsu information, nothing else."
Given such a large lottery draw, it was normal not to have the corresponding chakra of the ninja's contemporary period. Li Xi hadn't expected to reach the peak in one go, and he was content with what he had.
He carefully examined the turntable. Among these ninjas, there were strong and weak ones. However, even a ninja like Rin had many ninjutsu. Although they were all low-level ninjutsu, they could perfectly supplement Li Xi's severely lacking ninjutsu library, making up for his awkward situation of relying solely on physical combat due to his lack of ninjutsu.
Not to mention a ninjutsu master like Kisame Hoshigaki. Drawing him would allow Li Xi's Water Style to pose as a high-level water mage.
As for someone like the young Genin Lee, he didn't know any ninjutsu. But at this stage, he could open the Eight Inner Gates to the fifth Gate. With this, what else would he need ninjutsu for? Drawing him would allow Li Xi to easily open to the fifth Gate based on his current physical attributes. Moreover, according to Li Xi's own feelings, the sequelae after opening the fifth Gate would definitely not be as severe as they were for Little Lee.
Hidan, by the grace of the evil god, was an immortal being. In the original work, Shikamaru Nara had only blown Hidan into powder, but Hidan, with just his head, was still stubbornly alive. In the end, he could only be buried deep underground in his clan's ancestral land, and only through supervision could Hidan be prevented from emerging. Drawing him would allow Li Xi to pat his chest and say he was immortal. The only concern was whether the evil god in the ninja world had any influence in this异世界 and could bestow immortality upon Li Xi. If not, wouldn't drawing him be equivalent to drawing a piece of trash?
Zabuza Momochi, skilled in silent assassination, had also organized an assassination attempt on the Third Mizukage. Facing the Third Mizukage, who was controlled by Obito, he naturally couldn't succeed, but he managed to retreat and survive, which was proof of his strength. Moreover, the first time he met Kakashi, he was almost able to defeat Kakashi.
Having the same origin as Kisame Hoshigaki from the Hidden Mist Village, the person who could kill all his classmates, his ninjutsu would only be slightly weaker than Kisame Hoshigaki's.
Haku, the wielder of Ice Style, was the only one with a Bloodline Limit here. Ice Style was not a useless bloodline; it was superior to basic systems like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. It was a high-level elemental power and was terrifying in combat. It was also a Bloodline Limit that Li Xi favored. Drawing him would complete Li Xi's five Bloodline Limits.
Suigetsu Hozuki, in a sense, had some connection with Li Xi. He was the holder of the Kubikiribōchō, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and the Kubikiribōchō was currently in Li Xi's hand. He could use the Water Release: Water Transformation Technique to turn parts or his entire body into water to dodge fatal attacks. Coupled with other secret Water Style ninjutsu of his clan, he had the strength of a full-fledged Jonin. He had even blocked a move from the fully transformed Eight-Tails, which showed his extraordinary strength. Furthermore, he had even worn the Akatsuki's red cloud black cloak, which added some points to him.
Kurenai Yuhi, in the original work, had very few appearances. Her most famous battle was her Genjutsu confrontation with Itachi Uchiha, which, of course, resulted in a complete defeat. If only looking at the outcome, Kurenai Yuhi's strength might seem superfluous among the many experts in Konoha, but from another perspective, her ability to become a Jonin in Konoha was undeniable.
Li Xi had been poor his entire life and was finally prospering. Yesterday night, after confirming the tasks completed by the shadow clone with Xiao Fan, they were also counted towards him. Now, he could immediately draw ninjutsu to form a system, showing that Xiao Fan was still his thoughtful little padded jacket.
"Make it spin."
The pointer spun wildly. Li Xi no longer held any hope of exploiting bugs.
"Stop."
Ninjas, as if alive, appeared before Li Xi's eyes. Their short or long lives, their brilliant and colorful ninjutsu, their understanding of their respective ninja paths seemed to reappear before his eyes.
The meaning of life was not in survival, but in inheritance. These characters, ninjutsu, and emotions that only existed in a fictional world could be reborn in Li Xi's hands. This was the meaning of ninjutsu's existence, the inheritance of the ninja world.
The pointer spun past various ninjas. Regardless of which one it was, it would be a good choice for Li Xi.
Under Li Xi's fervent, expectant gaze,
"Congratulations, master, you have obtained Kisame Hoshigaki."
"Xiao Fan, you're the best, hahahahaha!"
Dozens of times the previous amount of memories merged into Li Xi's mind. In this instant, Li Xi mastered dozens more ninjutsu, and his chakra also experienced a surge. What was originally at the Chunin level now reached the Elite Chunin level, giving Li Xi, who was even more "blue" than Kakashi, a slight respite.
"Water Style: Water Shark Bomb Technique
Water Style: Great Shark Bullet Technique
Water Style: Water Prison Technique
Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave
Water Style: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave
Rainwater Shark
Five Gluttonous Sharks
Thousand Gluttonous Sharks
Earth Style: Subterranean Voyage
................."
These were Kisame Hoshigaki's representative Water Style ninjutsu. There were also some ninjutsu that required cooperation with Samehada that Li Xi hadn't fully organized, as he didn't know when he would obtain that immensely powerful weapon.
The number of ninjutsu obtained from this lottery draw had surpassed his previous ones by a significant margin. Most importantly, they formed a system and could be perfectly coordinated in combat, forming a complete set, just like how Li Xi used to combine Earth Style: Earth Falling and Great Fireball Technique to use them together, allowing the ninjutsu to exert a power greater than the sum of its parts.
