Konoha, nightfall.
The roar of battle had finally faded. The crimson glow of fire had been replaced with the soft flicker of torches. All across the battered village, shinobi and civilians had begun the painful task of rebuilding. Broken houses were being repaired, debris cleared, and the wounded tended to.
In the middle of the quiet chaos, the Hokage Building stood tall, its presence still commanding—even after defeat.
And inside, alone on the top floor…
Leo sat in silence.
A translucent blue interface flickered in the air before him, visible only to his eyes.
> [Primary Achievement Lottery: 113 times!]
[Medium Achievement Lottery: 5 times!]
[High Achievement Lottery: 2 times!]
[Super Achievement Lottery: 1 time!]
These were the spoils of war. The system's rewards.
Leo leaned back in the Hokage's chair—the very seat that had belonged to Tsunade not long ago. His expression was calm, almost lazy, but his eyes flickered with a calculating light.
After defeating Konoha, Leo had come to the Hokage Building alone to rest.
No one dared to disturb him.
No one had the courage.
He now had control of the Nine Tails, had single-handedly crushed Konoha's strongest shinobi, and sat at the pinnacle of power.
But Leo wasn't satisfied.
"Hmm... it's still lacking," he muttered under his breath.
"Even though I defeated quite a few elite shinobi, I should've earned more rewards than this..."
Something felt off.
As if reading his mind, the system responded with a mechanical chime:
> [Although the Konoha Jōnin were defeated by you, they did not admit defeat, nor did they kneel or surrender. Nor were they fully incapacitated. To qualify for the primary achievement lottery, a target must be at least Elite Chūnin level, and at least ten of them must meet the surrender or incapacitation condition.]
"I see..." Leo nodded slowly, processing the explanation.
So, even though he had thoroughly overpowered Kakashi and the others, because they didn't formally surrender or lose consciousness, the system didn't count them.
It made sense. Annoying, but logical.
"Alright then, I get it," Leo murmured.
He turned his gaze back to the massive list of pending draws.
"There are too many low-level draws," he said, rubbing his temples with one hand. "Can I exchange them for higher-tier ones?"
> [Yes. Ten primary draws can be exchanged for one medium draw. Ten medium draws can be exchanged for one high-level draw, and ten high draws can be exchanged for one super draw.]
"Then do it."
"Convert the 113 primary draws into one high-level and one medium-level draw."
He gave the command casually.
"And now… start the high-level and super achievement draws."
With a soft hum, the system complied.
> [Achievement Draws after exchange:]
[Primary Achievement Lottery: 3 times!]
[Medium Achievement Lottery: 6 times!]
[High Achievement Lottery: 3 times!]
[Super Achievement Lottery: 1 time!]
> [Commencing Draws...]
---
> [Congratulations! You have obtained a portion of Senju Hashirama's flesh and blood! (High Tier)]
[Congratulations! You have obtained Space-Time Ninjutsu: Flying Thunder God (Master Level)!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Taijutsu: Eight Inner Gates Technique (Master Level)!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained Rinnegan Eye Technique: Heavenly Hand Power (Super Tier)!]

Leo's expression didn't change at first. He continued resting his chin on his hand as he stared at the screen. But after a moment, the corners of his lips curved slightly.
"Hashirama's cells?"
"Hmm… I already have Asura's chakra. This is just a bonus."
He shifted slightly in his seat.
"Eight Inner Gates… Interesting. If I combine that with Izanagi… there might be some unexpected synergy."
He nodded approvingly.
"Flying Thunder God... not bad. I can make use of that."
"And finally… the Rinnegan ability: Heavenly Hand Power."
Leo's eyes narrowed as he read the last line.
"Excellent."
Then he frowned.
"But… it's still a pity."
"I haven't awakened the Rinnegan yet."
He removed his gloved hand from his chin and sighed. His right eye—still in the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan state—remained partially open. It could not be closed at will.
"That's a problem."
To activate the Rinnegan, he needed more than chakra.
He needed medical skill. Surgery. Precision.
And he couldn't do it himself.
"I'll need Princess Tsunade's help after all."
Leo muttered as he touched his right eye gently.
The pupil still radiated with the signature red and black pinwheel of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Earlier in the day, to defeat the Eight Gates Guy—Night Guy, as he was known—Leo had forcibly removed his original eye and replaced it with a Three Tomoe Sharingan pulled from the system's inventory. He'd needed to cast Izanami, the forbidden eye technique, and that sacrifice had been necessary.
It worked. He'd killed Night Guy.
But now…
The replacement Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in his right socket wouldn't close anymore. His own lack of medical skills had rendered it unstable.
He needed someone capable.
Tsunade was the only one who could do it.
Not just to restore the eye—but to help him safely integrate the blood of Hashirama and awaken the Rinnegan.
He leaned back slightly and smirked.
"Yes. Let her handle this, too."
And then, without turning his head, he spoke aloud:
"You can come in now."
He stared at the closed wooden door across the hall.
Creak—
The door slowly opened.
And in stepped a tall, curvaceous woman with golden-blonde hair and a proud posture. Her expression was sharp, her eyes filled with icy defiance.
Tsunade.
"Leo."
She called his name coldly.
Her sharp gaze swept across the room and landed on him—seated arrogantly in the Hokage's chair. Her chair.
Her fists clenched slightly, but she held herself back.
"Tell me. What exactly do you want me to do?"
She stepped into the room with firm steps, not breaking eye contact.
She noticed the odd asymmetry in his eyes—one blazing with the Eternal Mangekyō, the other a normal black pupil.
Strange.
But she didn't question it. Not yet.
Leo looked up at her and gave a crooked smile.
"With your attitude now, I really don't feel safe letting you touch my eye."
He raised his hand.
"Which means…"
Kachi—
Green chakra surged from Leo's palm—raw, jagged, and surgical.
Then, in a swift and horrifying motion, he plunged his hand into his right eye socket.
Blood gushed instantly.
Tsunade's eyes widened in shock.
"You—what are you doing?!"
She took an involuntary step forward, horrified.
But then… she froze.
"No way…"
Something clicked in her mind.
Her eyes narrowed as her medical expertise kicked in.
"Wait a second..."
"Don't tell me—"
Her face darkened.
"Danzo had one of Shisui Uchiha's eyes…"
"Are you planning to—?"
She stopped herself and shut her eyes.
Turning her head sharply to avoid looking directly at Leo.
Leo chuckled darkly.
"Smart as always, Princess."
"You guessed it. It's Kotoamatsukami, Shisui's Mangekyō ability."
"But Hashirama's granddaughter… do you really think you can resist me now?"
He grinned, his face pale but composed, blood dripping down his cheek.
"You... you're even more of a bastard than Danzo ever was!"
Tsunade's voice shook with fury.
Her fists trembled, her chest heaved.
But could she resist?
No.
She couldn't.
Finally, after a long pause, Tsunade sighed—deep, bitter, defeated.
She opened her eyes slowly.
Leo's grin widened.
"Now that's more like it. He who understands the situation… is a hero."
He leaned forward.
The blood around his right eye began to fade.
Then, he pressed his hand to the eye socket once more.
And whispered:
"Mangekyō Sharingan—Kotoamatsukami!!"
