Chapter 21: The Wishing Crystal Ball

"What do you do?"

Feeling the pain coming from his head, the medicine man's pocket jumped back like a frightened bird.

Pulling away from him, he reached out and fumbled around his head, trying to figure out what had been done to it, while staring warily at Kurayoshi to prevent him from making his next move.

But Kurayoshi didn't do anything.

He raised his hands, shook the hair in his hands to the pharmacist, and sneered, "That...... I just saw that you had dirt on your head, so I wanted to help you remove it, but I accidentally pulled my hair off, so I'm sorry. ”

"Really?" Yakushidou stared at Kurayoshi's face with suspicion.

"Of course!" A faint smile appeared on Kurayoshi's face.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's it. After hesitating, the pharmacist said.

With that, turn around and leave.

When he opened the ward, he paused, turned around and instructed: "Pay attention to the liquid in the medicine bottle, just press the bedside button in advance to call when it is almost over." ”

"Got it."

"Hmm!"

The pharmacist nodded, walked out of the room, closed the door and left.

He walked down the hospital corridor unhurriedly, his back straight, his thick, round-rimmed glasses glinting.

"That child's heartbeat is too strong, his vitality is rare in his life, such a physique must meet the requirements of Lord Orochimaru."

……

Ward 9.

After Kurayoshi used the Book of Omniscience to confirm that there was no one nearby, he took out the hair of the medicine man's pocket again, and a system prompt sounded in his mind in time.

【Ding! The special material "Dream Hair" has been detected, and the special item "False Mask" and "Wishing Crystal Ball" can be forged.

"Forging."

In the next second, a white mask and a blue crystal ball the size of a grapefruit appeared in his hand, and the information of both also appeared on the retina at the same time.

"False Mask: The wearer can change into anyone he has ever seen, regardless of height, weight, gender, temperament, or breath, and will not be recognized by the pupil technique."

"Wishing Crystal Ball: Just make a wish to it and it will grant any wish of its bearer, but in a way that may be a little different than what you expect."

Kurayoshi threw all the props into the system space, and then sat at the head of the bed in contemplation.

These two items are apparently based on the life experience of the Yakushidou spy and the stalk of the Dream Master.

The role of false masks is obvious, which is to hide identity.

The system said that the pupil technique could not be seen through, not that the pupil technique of so-and-so should be impossible to see through any pupil technique.

It doesn't matter if it's a chakra eye, a white eye, or a reincarnation eye.

And the wishing crystal ball......

This thing looks rebellious, but the introduction mentions that the way to fulfill the wish is different from what I expected, so Kurayoshi didn't dare to use it.

Kurayoshi had seen something similar in many fantasy works in his previous life, and everyone who made a wish would have it fulfilled only to become more miserable and remorseful.

The greater the wish, the worse it will end, and the more it gains, the more it loses.

There is no doubt that this wishing crystal ball is such a pitfall.

But......

What if it's not what you think?

Although it is clearly written on the introduction of the system, the temptation to fulfill any wish is too great.

Even if he knew that there could be no good thing in the world that could be reaped without paying, Kurayoshi couldn't help but think so.

What if this crystal ball is really an artifact that can grant any wish?

It would be a shame not to try it!

This thought grew stronger and stronger, gradually eating away at reason.

Suddenly, there was a pain in my left arm.

Kurayoshi woke up suddenly.

He glanced at his left hand, blood flowing backwards down the needle, and the vial was empty.

Unconsciously, he struggled for a long time.

"Whew!"

Kurayoshi breathed a deep sigh of relief, then pulled the needle out.

The pinhole in the hand heals instantly.

He clenched his fists, felt nothing unusual, and opened the door and left.

As for the wishing crystal ball, he is going to test the water with a small wish first, and at that time, even if there is any accident, he can accept it.

Well! If the walls of your home are broken, make a wish to make them intact!

Coming out of the hospital, while passing by a small alley where no one is, Kurayoshi takes out a crystal ball and makes a wish.

"Makes the walls of my house intact."

The crystal ball flashed with a purple light, and then regained its composure.

"That's it?" Kurayoshi was a little skeptical.

Make a wish or something, don't you make an appearance with the dragon in Dragon Ball, and make the situation change?

Why didn't this wishing ball move after a flash?

But it's a different thing in the end.

Although Kurayoshi suspected that the wishing ball was a parallel import, he did not question its effect before seeing the results, after all, the effects of the bloody headband, the ring of the nine lamas, and the Wanhua mirror were all real, without any water.

Putting away the wishing ball, Kurayoshi continued to walk home.

……

In about half an hour, Kurayoshi returned to his doorstep.

However, the original apartment building has become a ruin.

"This is my home?"

Kurayoshi stood in front of the ruins, his face full of doubt.

Looking through the ruins, an entire street leading to the outside of the village has been destroyed, and countless villagers and ninjas rummage through it for useful things.

"Kurayoshi, you're back." It was a familiar voice ringing in the back.

Kurayoshi looked back and saw a fat aunt wearing an apron walking over with a bag of miscellaneous items.

Kurayoshi hurriedly asked, "Aunt Yuo, is this my family's apartment?" ”

This Aunt Yuo is Kurayoshi's neighbor, the one who was woken up in the middle of the night last night and scolded the street.

"Yes, a three-meter-tall bear broke into the village from the forest, destroying everywhere along the way, and our apartment was demolished by this beast."

"Huh?" Kurayoshi was dumbfounded.

He knew that some animals in this world were as large as hormones, and Konoha was also built in dense forests, surrounded by many huge beasts.

But Konoha has set up an all-round perception barrier, and there are a large number of garrison ninjas in the village who are on duty 24 hours a day, even if a beast breaks in, it can be found and expelled as soon as possible, how can it be so destructive?

Aunt Yuo knew what Kurayoshi was surprised about, and said: "A ninja came over just now to explain, it seems that the age of the guardian enchantment arrangement is too long, and in order to prevent the entry and exit nodes from being penetrated by the enemy, it is being updated and upgraded, so I didn't notice it." ”

"Then we ......," Kurayoshi pointed to the ruins in front of him, a little overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, the three generations of Hokage-sama have already said that this is an accident caused by the village's negligence, and everyone's losses will be compensated by the village, so you should hurry up and go to the Hokage Building to register the property damage!"

"Oh oh oh!"

After Aunt Yuo finished speaking, she left with the bag, and Kurayoshi was still a little confused, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.

He looked at the ruins in front of him, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

This is most likely the result of the wishing crystal ball helping him fulfill his wish.

According to Aunt Yuo, all he had to do was register at the Hokage Building, and the village would compensate him for a house that was intact, and the old furniture might also be replaced with new ones.

But......

Just because the wall broke a hole or two, and ruined a street.

Aside from the property damage caused, some of them must have been injured, and maybe some of them died.
