Drawing Karura's Fragments

No matter how much Zhang Miao screamed and wailed, Chiyo still stripped him with a normal expression. Then, she carefully examined his entire body to see if there were any scars or bruises.

After confirming that there were no scars on his body, Chiyo happily smeared soap on him, washed him clean, and carefully put on his clothes.

After doing this, she gave him a satisfied kiss on his little face.

"Little Ryu, are you hungry? Wait a moment, Grandma will go and make breakfast for you!"

After saying that, Chiyo rubbed Zhang Miao's head lovingly, and then ran to the kitchen to make breakfast with satisfaction.

Seeing Chiyo's back, Zhang Miao could not help but sigh.

"Sigh... I didn't expect that my two lives of innocence would be over like this. Oh heavens, how unfair art thou? Is it because I am handsome that thou deliberately punished me?"

"[Boss, please forgive me for being blunt!]"

Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

"[Actually, this has nothing to do with the heavens. You brought this upon yourself!]"

"Shut up!"

"... "

After being reprimanded by the system, Zhang Miao felt even more stifled. However, no matter how bad his mood was, he was determined to eat three meals a day.

"In order to become a mighty and majestic man as soon as possible, I will walk the path of a rice bucket. I want to eat ten bowls of this meal!"

With this belief, Zhang Miao indeed ate ten bowls of meal, and at the same time, under the kind gaze of Chiyo, he wiped out all the dishes on the table, without forgetting to lick them clean.

What made Zhang Miao feel gratified was that just as he put down the bowl and chopsticks, two notifications from the system rang out in his mind.

"[Ding - Congratulations to the boss for obtaining the 7-star Kage-level, Gaara Ninja Fragment x10.]"

"[Ding - Congratulations to the boss for obtaining 7-star Kage-level, Shukaku Ninja Fragment x10! As long as Sage and Shukaku's wooden statue exist, the boss will obtain a fixed amount of Shukaku's fragments every day!]"

Hearing these two prompts, Zhang Miao turned to look, and then saw Gaara with sleepy eyes walking out of the room with two wooden statues hanging around his neck.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao grinned.

"Is this legendary 'Out of the depth of misfortune comes bliss' is all about? Now I can have a stable source of Shukaku's fragments!"

Zhang Miao had long obtained Gaara's absolute trust, so he was able to collect Gaara's ninja fragments steadily, but the progress of collecting the Shukaku's fragments had never been good.

But now, thanks to the two wooden statues, now he could get a fixed amount of Shukaku's fragments everyday. Zhang Miao's mood immediately became much better.

"It seems that the last time I accidentally used the 'Majest of an Older Brother' specialty, was not all a bad thing. What a great harvest!"

Thinking of this, he could not help but laugh in a low voice.

When Gaara heard his laughter, he immediately noticed him. Gaara immediately ran over excitedly and threw himself into Zhang Miao's arms.

"Brother, where did you go? I didn't even see you just now!"

Of course, Zhang Miao couldn't tell him that he had just returned from Konoha, so after hearing his words, he smiled and rubbed his little head.

"Brother just took a bath. Alright, go wash your face. Come over and eat some dangos after you wash up!"

"Dangos?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara's eyes immediately lit up. "Great, I'll go wash my face now!"

Seeing Gaara happily run to wash my face, the corners of Zhang Miao's mouth curved up again, and he immediately asked the system in his heart.

"System, how many of Gaara's ninja fragments have I collected?"

"1060 fragments!" As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system's voice immediately rang out.

Zhang Miao had actually gathered all the Ninja Fragments needed to recruit Gaara after staying in Sunagakure for half a year. However, he did not choose to recruit him directly. Instead, he used all the collected fragments of Gaara for lotteries.

Because in his opinion, he had to stay in Sunagakure for a long time anyway, so he did not have to hurry to recruit me.

So this time, after hearing his question, the system automatically asked, "Do you want to use all of them to draw lotteries?"

The system thought that Zhang Miao would say "yes", but this time he did not say so. Instead, he asked the system back.

"System, help me calculate how many of Gaara's ninja fragments I should use for lotteries. Take them out of the storage space!"

Zhang Miao wanted to use Gaara's fragments to obtain the Ninja Fragments of his mother Karura.

Zhang Miao was very curious about Karura. Although the original work did not have a detailed introduction of this person, the maternal love of Karura to Gaara was able to activate the Shield of Sand to protect him. This made Zhang Miao very interested.

"Not only for Gaara. If I recruit Karura, can I also obtain the special ability of the guardian sand?"

As the so-called "source", Zhang Miao guessed that the special ability of the guardian sand should be from Karura not Gaara.

"And it doesn't matter even if I guess wrong. There are no losses anyway. I will recruit these ninjas sooner or later!"

With this thought in mind, Zhang Miao began to use Gaara's ninja fragments to draw the lottery. Now, he had collected more than half of the required ninja fragments for recruiting Gaara.

In this case, in order to avoid wasting too many 7-star ninja fragments, Zhang Miao asked the system.

After hearing his question, the system immediately answered him.

"[The boss currently has out-of-print 6-star Jonin Karura Ninja Fragments x592. The system recommends boss to use 500 of Gaara's Ninja Fragments for the lottery draws. Do you want to start now?]"

"Yeah! Let's begin!" In the face of the system's inquiry, Zhang Miao immediately nodded, "Use 500 of my Gaara Ninja Fragments for lottery draw!"

Following Zhang Miao's command, the system notification rang out once more.

"[Ding! obtained 7-star Kage-level, Rasa Ninja Fragment x52.]"

"[Obtained 3-star Chuunin, Yashamaru Ninja Fragment x57.]"

"[Obtained: Little Sand Bucket x9.]"

"[Obtained Little Sand Shovel x8.]"

"[Obtained Small Teddy Bear x4.]"

"[Obtained: 38,400 silver notes.]"

"[Obtained out-of-print 6-star Elite Jonin, Karura Ninja Fragments x93.]"

"[The system has put all the prizes into the system space. Please check it yourself. Thank you for your patronage!]"

After hearing the system prompt, the corner of Zhang Miao's mouth immediately curled up. He smiled and nodded.

"Hm, not bad. Right now, we still need more than a dozen plus extra fragments to recruit. It will definitely get enough if I use Yashamaru's fragments!"

When collecting Karura fragments, Zhang Miao would use Gaara's fragments for the first lotteries, then he would use Yashamaru's fragments he obtained from Gaara's lotteries for the second one. This is Zhang Miao's usual method of collecting.

In the past, Zhang Miao would use all of Yashamaru's fragments to draw lotteries, but this time, it was different.

This time, Zhang Miao decided to use Gaara's fragments for the last time to draw lotteries, but he did not want to get in touch with Yashamaru the "snitch", so he decided to leave enough fragments for recruitment purposes

After making the decision, he immediately ordered the system.

"System, leave enough fragments for recruiting Yashamaru, and use the rest for lotteries!"

"[Yes, boss!]" 

Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the system notification rang out once more.

"[Using 3-star Yashamaru Ninja Fragment x57 for lotteries.]"

"[Ding! Obtained 7-star Kage-level, Rasa Ninja Fragment x2.]"

"[Obtained 7-star Kage-level, Gaara Ninja Fragment x2.]"

"[Obtained Kunai x2.]"

"[Obtained: 4,400 worth of silver notes.]"

"[Obtained out-of-print 6-star Elite Jonin, Karura Ninja Fragment x9]"

"[The system has put all the prizes into the system space. Boss, please check it yourself. Thank you for your patronage!]"

After hearing the system's prompt, Zhang Miao's smile suddenly became unusually bright.

"Now that the ninja fragments for Karura are all here, and Yashamaru's fragments are ready, the rest is to recruit. Also, it is time to solve the matter of Yashamaru the snitch!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of ruthlessness.
