Yamanaka Kei merely imagined resetting an enemy's stat, picturing their dumbfounded expression, and couldn't help but smile.
However, this stat reset had a bit of a gambling element to it.
It would be fine if it turned an enemy's red stat into purple, blue, green, white, gray, or black in one go.
But what if it directly reset an enemy's purple stat into a red one?
That would be hilarious!
He couldn't expect an enemy who was ready to fight to the death to suddenly become stronger and, out of gratitude, kneel down and recognize him as a foster father, could he?
"This thing..."
Yamanaka Kei scratched his cheek.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to exclude it from his combat options.
He wasn't a gambler like Tsunade.
Things that made his heart race and could lead to sudden death were best avoided.
He could use it to reset white stats and see if he could turn trash into treasure.
Or just keep it in case family and friends were troubled by black stats in the future, so he could use it in an emergency.
Temporarily skipping the stat reset.
Yamanaka Kei's gaze turned to the 'Conceptual Stat Draw Chance,' which had also appeared for the first time.
He had actually drawn quite a few bizarre stats before.
Like the [Brainwave Amplification] for Danzo, the [Glass Cannon] that had been gathering dust in the warehouse, and the recently acquired [Penniless] and [Expired Milk].
Did these count as conceptual stats?
If so, the value of this reward would drop several levels.
"System, draw a conceptual stat!"
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the white stat 'Average Luck E'.]
Average Luck E (White): When the host actively activates the stat, within the range of perception, if someone issues a 1V1 invitation and it is accepted, the effects of all fate-related stats of both combatants will disappear, and their luck will simultaneously drop to the lowest level. The probability of mistakes, explosive growth, lucky events, and passive triggers will be greatly reduced, the probability of injury will increase, and the probability of death will slightly increase.
"What the hell... a 1V1 true man, huh!"
Yamanaka Kei looked at the glaring white stat and didn't know how to feel.
It simultaneously reduced the luck of both combatants to the lowest level.
While weakening the enemy, he was also dragged down to the same level.
Against enemies like Jiraiya, who had a Luck stat like [Teacher of Destiny] and wouldn't die easily before fulfilling their mission, it might be surprisingly effective.
But against normal enemies, it seemed completely useless?
It might even introduce many uncontrollable factors into the battle process and outcome due to the influence of luck?
"Hmm~ It can be actively turned on and off, and it's not limited to oneself, but affects everyone within the range of perception?"
Yamanaka Kei stroked his chin, considering whether to reset this entry and give it a try.
This was the first time he had encountered an entry that, once activated, could be freely turned on or off, similar to an active skill.
Although the usage conditions were a bit harsh, if used well, it could also serve as a trump card and a killer move.
Moreover...
If he reset this entry.
The effect of any entry of the same series that appeared should be a little better than this one!
Not much was needed.
Even if it was just a green entry, making the enemy Average Luck E while his own Luck remained unchanged.
Its value in actual combat would be immeasurable!
It is said that Lancers have always had Average Luck E, thinking about the fate of those Lancers...
The more Yamanaka Kei thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was promising, and he immediately ordered the system in his heart.
"System, reset the white entry 'Average Luck E'."
[Reset complete, congratulations to the host for obtaining the black entry 'Unlucky Conflict'.]
Unlucky Conflict (Black): When the host actively activates the entry, within the range of perception, once someone issues a 1V1 invitation, the other party will definitely accept the challenge. The effects of all fate-related entries on both sides of the battle will disappear, and a state of Plagued by Bad Luck and Beset by Misfortune will be triggered. The probability of mistakes, the probability of getting sick, the probability of misfortune, the probability of accidents, etc., will be greatly increased, and the probability of injury and the probability of death will be greatly increased.
"...6."
Yamanaka Kei was silent for a long time, studying the detailed explanations of the states of 'Plagued by Bad Luck' and 'Beset by Misfortune' for a long time before giving the final evaluation.
In simple terms, these two states include all the unlucky things he could and could not think of.
As long as the [Unlucky Conflict] judges that a 1V1 has begun.
Then it's really like having bad luck even when drinking cold water, cramping your leg when you lift your foot, wanting to have diarrhea before even fighting, and your pants already turning yellow as soon as your hands touch!
This state... what are you fighting for? It's clearly seeing who can't hold on and dies first!
"Issuing an invitation that the other party cannot refuse... System, do you have to be so cruel!"
Yamanaka Kei had a subway old man looking at his phone face on the surface.
But he had already begun to ponder in his heart.
In the future, if he encounters an enemy he can't beat, should he call Jiraiya to go up and have an 'Unlucky Conflict' with the other party first?
His skin is thin and he can't handle it very well.
Jiraiya has been through wars for a long time, so it shouldn't be a big problem!
And even if he can't win, he can just turn off the entry effect and go up to save people.
Then let Namikaze Minato continue!
Akimichi Choza is also fine, at least his vitality is relatively strong and he won't die under normal circumstances.
After several rounds of attrition warfare, even Otsutsuki would have to kneel down on the spot.
"How about... this one?"
Yamanaka Kei scratched his cheek, feeling that the chance to reset entries was still precious and should be used sparingly.
This [Unlucky Conflict] might be a bit hard on friends.
If it happened a few more times, most of his childhood best friends would probably break off ties with him.
But if he really encountered an enemy he couldn't beat, it could lead to a miraculous comeback in an instant.
Best friends or comeback?
The greater good of protecting the peace of ninjas and safeguarding the happiness of mankind ultimately prevailed.
With the noble thought of sacrificing his friends for the happiness of the entire ninja world, Yamanaka Kei decisively chose to activate the entry.
Looking at the only black entry on the system interface.
He nodded slightly.
Black is black, as long as it doesn't affect him, it's all good!
"It seems I still need to make more friends in the future, otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be enough at critical moments!"
Yamanaka Kei muttered to himself.
He decided to start contacting those same-term ninjas when he got back, to improve their relationship.
Of course, it doesn't have to be the same term.
He thought Obito Uchiha was quite good.
Now that Madara Uchiha had been taken care of, shouldn't this little guy thank him properly?
Right, those old geezers in the village keep talking about the Will of Fire, and every sentence is about Konoha. When something really happens, they can't just stand by and watch, right?
With their ability to survive, they should be quite durable!
Old folks above, young ones below, and best friends in the middle.
Perfect!
Yamanaka Kei nodded in satisfaction and looked at the remaining three entry draw opportunities again.
The final result of this 'Conceptual Entry Draw' was not bad.
He just didn't know if this ordinary entry draw could give him a little surprise.
"System, draw, draw! Use all three entry draws."
