A Multiverse Tale: Hope in Another World!

Chapter 16: Chapter 16 - Return and Rewards



Main Multiverse World.

The Multiverse Roulette radiated a glow that spanned the heavens and pierced through eternity. 

As the wheel spun, Takuma Kirie slowly opened his eyes. 

He glanced at the clock on the wall—barely half a day had passed since his last transmigration. Before he could muse on the quirks of time, his expression shifted.

A radiant light bathed him, a resonant boom echoing like it shook countless worlds. Warm currents surged through his body, awakening dormant power.

First, the Sage Body stirred. On a microscopic level, every part of Takuma Kirie evolved—vibrant life force flooded each cell. 

He closed his eyes. Moments later, they snapped open, blood-red two-tomoe Sharingan swirling into view. 

Not only that—his chunin-level chakra reserves surfaced, and the Gate of Opening from the Eight Gates Formation flicked on with a mere thought.

From this moment, Takuma Kirie was no longer a powerless mortal trembling before ghosts. He'd fully stepped into the extraordinary. 

Suppressing the urge to test his ninjutsu, he held his breath, tension creeping in as he faced the Multiverse Roulette. 

He'd played the Naruto world near-perfectly, but until the score dropped, nerves gnawed at him.

Return Settlement Complete 

Rating: S

Roulette Points: 7

S-Rank Detected: One Multiverse Lottery Draw Granted

(F-Rank: 1 Point, E-Rank: 2 Points… SSS-Rank: 9 Points)

Seeing the results, Takuma Kirie exhaled in relief. 

With a swipe of his hand, his private space opened, and scrolls thudded onto the desk: 

- Scroll of Seals 

- Uzumaki Clan Sealing Techniques

- Mystical Palm Technique

- Chakra Enhanced Strength

Plus betrothal contracts from the Uchiha clan and Tsunade. 

Surveying his Naruto haul, Takuma Kirie let out a long breath, flopped onto his plush bed, and burst into giddy laughter. 

This was a jackpot haul! 

He'd forged the ultimate foundation with the Sage Body and Sharingan. 

Using the transmigrator perk No-Seal Ninjutsu: Rasengan, he'd nabbed the Eight Gates Formation, roped in Hatake Kakashi as a handy toolman, and scored Orochimaru's Sage Mode.

His academy exam flex had pulled every faction into his orbit. Sure, Tsunade's meddling botched his Uchiha shakedown, but he still walked away with two fiancées.

Uchiha Mikoto—destined mother of filial son Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke—was now his betrothed. 

On the Senju side, with some finesse, he'd make Tsunade pay a "bloody" price next time—three days bedridden sounded about right! 

And last but not least, hats off to the great Lord Danzo, coughing up the Scroll of Seals and Uzumaki Clan Sealing Techniques. 

The Scroll of Seals packed Multi-Shadow Clone, Flying Thunder God, Waterless Water Release, Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags, Impure World Reincarnation, Four Red Yang Formation, Chakra Sensing, Soul Binding Technique, and Five Rashomon—a forbidden jutsu buffet.

The Uzumaki Clan Sealing Techniques boasted Four Symbols Seal, Five Elements Seal, and Adamantine Chains. 

"Speaking of which, that parting shot—eight hundred tags might not have killed him, but the blowback from Tsunade and the Uchiha should keep Danzo busy. Plus, he's stuck taking the fall for the stolen jutsu and seals." 

"Lord Danzo, what a saint." 

Kirie smirked shamelessly and opened the Roulette Points menu. 

Beyond the clutch True Soul Reincarnation, points could juice up his abilities: 

- Youth Stage Sage Body (+) 

- Two-Tomoe Sharingan (+) 

- Eight Gates Formation (+) 

- … 

- Ryuchi Cave Sage Arts (+) 

Every ninjutsu, sage art, and sealing technique he'd studied was listed. Mastered ones glowed normally; ones he'd only glimpsed were grayed out. 

His glee at snagging 7 points soured fast—he felt broke already.

"First, save 1 point. If the next world's a death trap, True Soul Reincarnation's my lifeline. That leaves 6 to spend." 

He zeroed in on Youth Stage Sage Body (+). 

In Naruto, his perfect fusion pegged him at eight or nine years old. Left to grow naturally, it'd mature to Hashirama Senju's level over time.

But in this spiritually resurging multiverse? Time was too precious.

"Roulette, add a point!" 

One point vanished, and Youth Stage ticked up to Growth Stage. 

Growth Stage Sage Body (++) 

A searing heat erupted from his core, flooding his limbs. 

It was like a full-body ascension—Kirie felt the shift viscerally, a holistic upgrade. 

Life force surged, boundless energy pulsed. He nodded, pleased. 

Testing his chakra refinement, the life energy boost tripled his speed. 

He pulled a kunai from his private space, stabbed his thigh deep, and yanked it out. Blood stopped instantly. Life force surged, and in under a minute, the gash healed before his eyes, skin smooth as new.

Kirie marveled—no wonder Hashirama Senju was the God of Shinobi. 

That life force was unreal, fueling monstrous chakra reserves that left even the Nine-Tails like a kitten in his grip. 

Prioritizing survival, Kirie doubled down on the Sage Body. 

Eyeing the two plus signs, he hesitated briefly before committing. 

Body and life trumped all—dead meant nothing left! 

Two more points burned away, and Growth Stage Sage Body (++) became Mature Stage Sage Body (+++).
