Chapter 601 - 7

Chapter 7: Second Stage Rewards! goro goro no mi!As soon as Naruto's thought surfaced, the six hundred thousand resentment points on the system panel plummeted by half, like a receding tide."Let's start with thirty draws to test the waters!"[Congratulations! You have obtained: Medium Amount of Chakra ×17][Congratulations! You have obtained: Large Amount of Chakra ×7][Congratulations! You have obtained: Skill Point×6!]In an instant, a majestic and unparalleled surge of Chakra erupted from his Dantian, continuously filling Naruto's limbs and bones like a surging river.His blood and Qi surged throughout his body, and his face instantly flushed crimson. He couldn't help but cry out:"There's so much... I can't take any more!"After the stage reward upgrade, the minimum Chakra reward was now a medium amount, with no shortage of large amount prizes.This terrifying boost caused a lustrous glow to surface on his skin, which only vanished after he had completely absorbed it a moment later.Looking at the 6 Skill Points on the panel, Narutopondered for a moment.Currently, Fire Fist was Level 4 and Sexy Jutsu was Level 2, with only Elementalization remaining unupgraded."I'll just distribute them evenly!" He cleared his throat and muttered with a serious face, "I'm all about balanced development. How could I leave Sexy Jutsu behind? If it can affect dreams today, it might be able to affect reality tomorrow. This Ninjutsu has infinite potential, hehe~"As he muttered, the Skill Points were allocated, and all his skills soared to Level 4!There was no special notification after upgrading Elementalization—after all, the skill's basic effect was simply to turn the body into an element to evade physical attacks.On the contrary, the advancement of Sexy Jutsuimmediately piqued Naruto's interest.[Ding! Congratulations to the host for upgrading Sexy Jutsu to Level 4! New effect: The host can control their consciousness to leave their physical body and infiltrate the dream of a real-world target...]"Holy crap?!"Naruto suddenly jumped up, his eyes widening like copper bells. The flush from absorbing Chakrahadn't even faded yet, and now his face was filled with an additional layer of unbelievable ecstasy."Infiltrate a real-world target's dream? This isn't just Sexy Jutsu; this is clearly a Dream Infiltration Jutsu!"He paced back and forth, rubbing his hands together as countless thoughts exploded in his mind."Affecting dreams today, and reality tomorrow—the system truly doesn't lie!"His fingertips brushed over the description of Sexy Jutsu on the system panel, the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably:"Who should I test this on? The female Ninjas of Konoha? Or..."Halfway through the thought, Naruto abruptly cut it off and hurriedly coughed twice to hide his guilt:"Ahem! I still have three hundred thousand resentment points to spend! I am a gentleman; how could I be distracted by such trivial thoughts?"He put on a serious expression, tapped the system panel, and the remaining three hundred thousand resentment points instantly dropped to zero.The virtual screen before him exploded with light once more as the lottery wheel spun rapidly![Congratulations! You have obtained: Medium Amount of Chakra ×15][Congratulations! You have obtained: Large Amount of Chakra ×14][Congratulations! You have obtained:...][Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the grand prize of this stage. Unlocking special stage reward—goro goro no mi!][Current stage progress bar has reached 60%. Subsequent duplicate draws of this prize will automatically be converted into Skill Points!]"goro goro no mi?!"Naruto stood frozen on the spot, his pupils shrinking. The ultimate reward for the second stage was actually another Devil Fruit?But in the world of One Piece, there was a strict rule—a person could never consume two Devil Fruits at once, or their body would explode and they would die!Amidst his doubts, a strange fruit wrapped in tiny arcs of electricity appeared in his palm.Its yellow skin was covered in lightning patterns, and threads of electricity crackled, bringing a tingling sensation. Even the air carried a faint scent of ionization.Naruto's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard:"This... do I really dare to eat it?"Naruto stared at the crackling goro goro no mi in his palm, his heart pounding. He quickly questioned the system in his mind:"Can I really eat this? I won't just kick the bucket, will I?"[Eat it or don't!]The system's cold, four-word reply left Narutospeechless."Hey, what kind of attitude is that!" His face darkened, and then his gaze sharpened. He stiffened his neck and muttered, "If you dare to give it, I dare to eat it!"Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth wide and took a huge bite.The flesh carried a strange, slight numbness. As soon as it entered his throat, a domineering and unparalleled lightning energy exploded like a tsunami, sweeping through his entire body!Inside him, the fire energy from the Mera Mera no Mi was instantly jolted. Two completely different forces collided violently within his meridians, sometimes fiercely clashing and crushing each other, and at other times strangely intertwining and coiling incessantly.Naruto's whole body stiffened, and his face turned pale instantly. "Holy crap? Am I really going to explode and die?"Fortunately, his mind remained somewhat calm. He endured the agonizing pain churning inside him and gritted his teeth to hold on.After a while, between the cracks of the clashing fire and lightning forces, threads of energy began to seep out, linking and intertwining with each other.Gradually, they traced out crisscrossing paths of thunder and fire within him, densely covering his entire body!At the same time, the system panel before him suddenly refreshed, glowing brightly:[Fire Fist: Level 4][Sexy Jutsu: Level 4][Elementalization/Fire: Level 4][Unlocked new skills: Thunderstorm! Thunder Bird! Divine Punishment! Elementalization/Lightning!][Thunderstorm]: Creates a Thunderstormdomain with a radius of dozens of kilometers centered on the user. The duration adjusts automatically based on Chakra supply. Within the domain, lightning is dense and thunder is incessant![Thunder Bird]: Condenses an ethereal bird of lightning energy that can be remotely controlled to dive at high speed, exploding with a lightning shock upon contact with an enemy![Divine Punishment]: Draws from high-altitude thunderclouds to summon a pillar of lightning, condensed to the extreme, to crash down!Naruto stared at the skill descriptions on the panel, his eyes shining brightly. A wisp of flame entwined with electricity instantly rose from his palm:"This is a massive gain! Thunderstorm for field control, Thunder Bird for surprise attacks, and Divine Punishment for the finishing blow. With this combo, who could possibly withstand it?"Should he find a suitable target right now to test the power of his new skills?Halfway through the thought, he suddenly slapped his forehead, his eyes turning cunning. "I've got it!"Naruto immediately sat cross-legged, circulating the massive amount of Chakra he had just absorbed to steady his mind. With a thought, he activated the new effect of Sexy Jutsu.The Chakra at his Dantian flowed along specific meridians, and his consciousness gradually became light, as if freed from heavy shackles, turning into an invisible stream of light that sped toward the distance."Resentment ATM, here I come~"
