Chapter 33
Hiashi leaned back slightly, folding his arms.
"We shall see," he murmured, his tone contemplative. "You've made your intentions clear. Now, we will see if your actions follow through."
Shoi inclined his head respectfully. "Thank you, Hiashi-sama. I won't let you down."
As Shoi stood and turned to leave, he couldn't help but feel the weight of the conversation lingering behind him.
He knew that this was just the beginning of something far more complex, but for now, he had taken a significant step toward aligning himself with Hiashi's interest.
Whether or not Hiashi fully trusted him yet, Shoi had set things in motion. Now, it was time to follow through with his next moves.
As Shoi returned to his room, he felt a quiet sense of satisfaction, though his mind remained alert. Things had gone as planned with Hiashi, but now the real work began.
Closing the door behind him, Shoi exhaled and summoned the system window. His eyes scanned the display as a notification flashed.
"1 Random Spin Wheel available."
He raised an eyebrow. "That's the extra reward I got for performing exceptionally in that last mission," he muttered to himself, a small smirk playing at his lips. "Let's see what I can get."
With a thought, he activated the spin.
The virtual wheel he can see many names on it [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Destroying Thunder God Technique, Kusanagi Sword, Truth-Seeking Orbs, Sage Mode] and many as wheel began to turn, symbols and names flashing across the screen in rapid succession.
His heart beat slightly faster, a mixture of curiosity and anticipation.
Yet, as the wheel slowed and finally came to a stop on a random weapon, Shoi felt a mix of anticipation and curiosity. He wondered what type of weapon he would receive, hoping it would be something unique and powerful.
With a flash, the Gold-Banded Staff weapon materialized in his hands. He examined it closely, feeling the weight and balance, and grinned. "Not what I was aiming for.. but better than nothing".
For some reason, Shoi had a feeling that this staff seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
As he examined it further, the information panel of the staff materialized before him, displaying its details in glowing text.
Weapon: Ruyi Jingu Bang
Type: Legendary Staff
Description: Staff of Wukong.
Abilities:
- Size Manipulation: The Ruyi Jingu Bang can change size at will, from a tiny needle to a colossal pillar, useful for both combat and transportation.
- Weight Manipulation: The staff can adjust its weight at the user's will, allowing for versatile combat techniques.
"Crazy..." he muttered. "This is crazy. This staff is so f*cking powerful..."
A grin spread across his face as he thought about the possibilities that lay ahead.
"Hehehe, Toneri Otsutsuki, right? I'll wait for you," he whispered, looking at the staff in his hand.
The power coursing through it was crazy, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence.
Focusing on the staff, he envisioned it reducing to the size of a hair, and to his amazement, it actually changed size.
Shoi held up the tiny staff, a testament to its remarkable abilities, and chuckled at the absurdity of it all.
"Well, I should just put it away for now," he thought, carefully stowing the Ruyi Jingu Bang in a secure place. The staff's power was now part of him.
With the staff tucked away, Shoi took a moment to collect his thoughts. He knew he had to stay vigilant and prepare for whatever challenges Toneri might throw his way. After all, the Otsutsuki clan was notorious for their strength and cunning.
Suddenly, a notification pinged in his mind, drawing his attention.

"Hey, System, this is alright, but how do I use these Degenerate Points?" he asked, eager to see what benefits he could acquire without becoming overly powerful too quickly.
A moment later, another notification appeared, this time showing a shop interface.

As he reviewed the items, Shoi felt excitement. Each item had its price, and he needed to be strategic in his purchases.
"Looks like I need to plan my spending wisely," he mused, contemplating which items could provide the most benefit for his growth while keeping the stakes high.
"And Sakura planning to seduce me? Well, well, she's just showing herself right in the wolf's mouth."
