"Teacher Asuma, do you want to smash some eggs?" Haruto asked with a friendly smile.
"Uh…" Asuma hesitated, glancing at Kiba, who was still sulking over Akamaru's grudge, then at Chōji, who was looking embarrassed about his big sausage moment. After a long pause, he waved his hand. "I think I'll pass today!"
"Are you sure?" Haruto pressed.
"Absolutely!" Asuma laughed nervously.
After witnessing Kiba's traumatic experience with the Brain Collapse Aid and Chōji's embarrassment over his sausage Ninjutsu, he decided it was best to avoid temptation for now.
"Alright then," Haruto sighed in disappointment.
That meant he was a little farther away from obtaining his second diamond egg.
"Okay, since you guys are done, it's time for us to start our mission!" Asuma turned to his team.
"Oh! Finally, a mission?!" Ino's eyes sparkled with excitement.
She had dreamed of becoming a full-fledged ninja since her days at the Academy. Now, it was finally happening!
Shikamaru and Chōji grabbed their gear, and the Ino-Shika-Chō trio followed Asuma out of the shop.
"Boss, see you tomorrow!" Ino waved as she left.
"See you tomorrow!" Haruto grinned.
"It'd be better if I never see this scammer again…"
But deep inside, he knew he'd be back.
Kiba, still nursing his wounded pride, said his goodbyes before chasing after Akamaru, who was still ignoring him.
Watching everyone leave, Haruto's heart started pounding with excitement.
It was finally his turn to smash an egg!
He had watched others experience the thrill, but now, it was his time.
Before starting, Haruto went through a whole ritual.
He took a hot bath, lit three incense sticks, and mentally prepared himself.
Even though diamond eggs had a guaranteed S-rank reward, he still wanted to enjoy the experience to the fullest.
"System, receive my exclusive diamond egg!"
A familiar ding rang in his ears.
"Diamond egg successfully distributed. Please check your inventory!"
A brilliant, dazzling diamond egg materialized before him.
Unlike the golden eggs, this one emitted a radiant glow that instantly dimmed every other egg in the shop.
All the golden eggs now looked like dull lumps of brass in comparison.
"Whoa…" Haruto felt his heartbeat quicken.
He gripped the diamond hammer, took a deep breath, and—
BANG!
The diamond egg shattered.
A burst of blinding light filled the shop, illuminating everything with an ethereal glow.
As the brilliance faded, three shimmering white orbs floated before him, each containing a mysterious treasure.
Haruto's hands trembled with anticipation.
"Alright… let's see what we got!"
He focused his gaze, peeking into the three luminous orbs.
When he finally recognized what was inside, his jaw dropped.
"No way…!"
Haruto's Diamond Egg Rewards:
1. Vivre Card (One Piece item)
2. Aerial Dance (Dragon Ball ability)
3. 100% Black King Template (X-Men power)
Vivre Card: A special paper made from a person's fingernails that represents their vitality.
It's fireproof, waterproof, and indestructible.
Can be torn apart and given to friends, with each piece attracting the others.
The card shrinks when the owner is injured or dying.
A fully restored card means the person is healthy.
Aerial Dance: A flight technique from the Dragon Ball world.
Originally a Tsurusen-ryu martial art.
Allows the user to freely fly in the air, completely ignoring gravity.
100% Black King Template: The superpower of Sebastian Shaw, an X-Men villain.
Absorbs all forms of energy and converts it into strength.
Can store and release absorbed energy, multiplying it upon impact.
Unlike the Ōtsutsuki clan, who can only absorb Chakra-based attacks, this ability works on all types of energy:
Kinetic energy (physical blows)
Thermal energy (fire, explosions)
Electricity (Lightning Style attacks)
Chakra-based Ninjutsu
Essentially, Haruto could absorb an enemy's full-strength attack and strike back twice as hard!
Haruto stared at his prizes, stunned.
These were beyond anything he had imagined!
He carefully analyzed his new Black King ability.
His absorption limit wasn't infinite—if he absorbed too much energy, his body might explode.
Based on his current strength, the maximum amount of energy he could absorb was equal to Might Guy's Eight Gates Release!
"If I master this ability, I'd be an absolute nightmare for my enemies!"
Think about it—someone throws a devastating Ninjutsu at you… and it does nothing.
Instead, you absorb it and hit them back twice as hard!
Even Taijutsu users wouldn't be safe. If a powerhouse like Might Guy punched him, Haruto could absorb the impact and return it with double the force!
It was a god-tier defensive ability that made him almost unkillable.
And then, there was Aerial Dance…
In the Naruto world, very few people could truly fly.
The Ōtsutsuki clan had the ability.
The Second and Third Tsuchikage could fly.
Deidara and Gaara used external means to stay airborne.
But with Aerial Dance, Haruto could fly freely, without restrictions!
As for the Life Card, it wasn't an immediate power boost, but it was incredibly valuable for survival.
With it, his allies could track him anywhere, and he'd have a real-time indicator of his health.
Haruto exhaled deeply, trying to process it all.
He had been powerful inside the Golden Egg Shop, but once he left, he was just a normal person.
Now, however…
He had finally gained real strength!
Without hesitation, he activated both abilities, absorbing them into his body.
A golden aura surrounded him for a moment before vanishing.
Haruto clenched his fists.
He felt the change immediately.
For the first time since opening the shop…
He was no longer defenseless.
