Chapter 43 - Returning to the Palace, the Exclusive Draw

After returning to the palace, the ANBU members who had been secretly guarding Arthur immediately went into action, sealing off the entire palace under tight protection.

Arthur continued walking toward his bedroom.

Along the way, beautiful palace maids lined the corridors, each of them bowing respectfully as he passed.

He moved through the winding hallways, turning left and right.

After nearly five minutes, the door to his bedroom finally came into view.

But standing quietly in front of it was a small, timid figure.

"Your… Your Majesty…"

The moment she saw Arthur, a trace of joy flashed across the little maid's eyes.

She hurried over with quick little steps, her delicate face flushed pink.

Looking up at him with bright eyes, she radiated happiness.

"Xixi…"

Arthur smiled faintly.

Without stopping, he walked toward the bedroom and casually said over his shoulder,

"Perfect timing. Come help massage my shoulders."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The little maid's face immediately lit up with a bright smile as she followed him almost bouncing with excitement.

Inside the bedroom, Arthur leaned comfortably back onto the soft sofa.

The maid quickly stepped behind him and began gently kneading his shoulders with her soft white hands, concentrating seriously on the task.

"Ah…"

Arthur closed his eyes in comfort and exhaled slowly.

Then he silently said in his mind:

"Start the draw."

Shua!

A translucent screen that only Arthur could see appeared instantly before him.

It displayed the familiar lottery roulette.

However, the rewards on this wheel were clearly different from before.

[Vector Control Lv.5]

[Strategic Universal Angel: Ikaros]

[Hyakushiki Kannon – Zero Form]

[Ninjutsu Scroll (Five Elements)]

[Zanpakutō Forging Technology]

[Death Note]

"Death Note!!!"

Arthur didn't even bother looking at the other rewards.

His eyes locked onto that one option, burning with excitement.

Could that really be the same Death Note used by Light Yagami?

If he actually drew that…

Then…

"These rewards are getting more and more outrageous…"

Arthur took a deep breath.

He deliberately stopped looking at the rest.

After all, the result depended entirely on luck.

The chance of drawing exactly what he wanted was extremely small.

Better not to look and get disappointed.

"Let's begin."

He steadied his thoughts.

"Ding! Exclusive lottery has begun. Host may stop the wheel at any time by saying 'stop'."

The system's emotionless voice echoed.

At the same moment, the roulette began spinning at an incredible speed.

The reward icons blurred completely.

After about five seconds—

"Stop!"

Arthur shouted in his mind.

The spinning wheel halted instantly.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained: [Ninjutsu Scroll (Five Elements)]"

"Ding! Exclusive lottery has ended. Next draw requirement: National Reputation Level 3."

The glowing screen vanished.

Arthur blinked in confusion.

"A… ninjutsu scroll?"

"What the hell is that?"

Suddenly something heavy appeared in his hands.

A large scroll had materialized out of thin air.

"Wow… that's amazing!"

"Your Majesty, is that magic?"

Behind him, the little maid widened her adorable eyes, staring at Arthur in awe.

In her heart, there seemed to be nothing the king couldn't do.

Arthur ignored her amazement.

Instead he looked down at the scroll in his hands with a frown.

The scroll was over half a meter long.

Its surface was pure white with red borders, and countless mysterious symbols were inscribed across it.

It was obvious that the scroll contained countless ninjutsu secrets.

But…

What use was it to him?

He already possessed the Rinnegan.

The abilities of the Six Paths were more than enough for him at this stage.

His true limitation wasn't power—

It was stamina.

Arthur firmly believed that strength wasn't about having countless abilities, but about mastering the ones you already possessed.

He hadn't even fully mastered the Rinnegan yet.

On top of that, he spent time every day training his physical endurance.

Where would he find the time to learn hundreds of ninjutsu?

As for the ANBU, they were already elite ninjas.

They had likely already learned the techniques that suited them.

This scroll wouldn't benefit them much either.

"Tsk… of all things, I had to draw a ninjutsu scroll…"

Arthur sighed and placed it aside, rubbing his forehead.

Among all those rewards—

Not even the Death Note he desperately wanted.

Even Vector Control or Ikaros would've been amazing.

But the system had played a small joke on him and given him the one reward he couldn't really use.

He didn't have time to learn it.

The ANBU didn't need it.

What was he supposed to do with it?

Open a ninja academy and teach others ninjutsu?

"Wait!!"

Suddenly Arthur stiffened and sat upright.

"Your Majesty? What's wrong?" the maid asked curiously.

Tilting her head slightly, she looked at him with confusion.

"Nothing. Just thought of something."

"Keep going."

"Oh… okay."

She nodded obediently and continued massaging his shoulders.

Meanwhile, Arthur picked up the scroll again and opened his personal system panel.

Arthur scanned the panel quickly.

Nothing had changed much.

Then he opened the detailed description of the scroll.

"Huh?"

A flicker of surprise appeared in Arthur's eyes.

This scroll actually contained every Five-Element ninjutsu in the Naruto world.

And some of them were S-Rank techniques.

Could it be…

Even powerful techniques like the Rasenshuriken were recorded inside it?
