Chapter 20: Chapter:20
"Haha!" Haruto smiled coldly.
You're such a skeptic, Kiba, yet you talk so boldly? Haruto thought to himself.
As one of the weaker among the Konoha 12, he had no right to be this unaware!
Inuzuka Kiba, your confidence is misplaced!
"Well? Do you want to test it?" Haruto asked, looking at Hinata with a smile.
"Then… I'll give it a try!" Hinata said weakly.
After seeing the powerful rewards others had obtained using the Destiny Coin, she was curious about its effects.
"Go ahead!" Haruto returned the coin to Hinata.
Hinata placed the coin in her palm and tossed it into the air.
Everyone watched as the coin spun high before landing in her hand.
"Oh! It landed on white!" Kiba cheered, even though he claimed not to believe in it.
"That's great! Let's use this luck to break both eggs!" Haruto said.
"Hiii!" Hinata, emboldened by the good omen, picked up the hammer and struck two golden eggs.
Bang!
Bang!
Both eggs shattered, revealing six glowing balls of light.
"Oh, it really worked!" Haruto exclaimed.
The moment the orbs appeared, he immediately identified their contents.
Hinata's luck had been exceptionally good to begin with, but with the Destiny Coin's influence, it had skyrocketed!
Inside the six orbs were:
Blue Essence ×200
Random Poké Balls!
Captain Jack's Compass!
Blessing of Courage Skill Scroll!
Recovery Potion ×3!
Space Ring!
"Wait! Isn't this the same ring that Shino got?!" Kiba exclaimed in surprise.
"What?! Another Space Ring?!" Ino gasped as she came over to examine it.
"Ah, as expected!"
A silver ring lay quietly within the glowing orb.
"Yes, this is another Space Ring!" Haruto confirmed, reaching out to retrieve it.
However, the moment he touched the ring, his expression changed.
"What's wrong, boss?" Ino asked, noticing his shift in demeanor.
"No…" Haruto smiled bitterly, holding up the ring. "Hinata is ridiculously lucky!"
This was a Space Ring, like the one Shino had drawn… but this one was twice as large, boasting a two-cubic-meter storage capacity!
When Haruto explained this, the group erupted into cheers.
"That's amazing, Hinata!" Ino congratulated her.
"It's unbelievable to have a double-sized Space Ring!" Chōji said in awe, smacking his lips.
He had been so excited watching everyone smash eggs that he had accidentally finished all his potato chips!
"That's great, Hinata!" Kurenai smiled warmly and accepted the ring from Haruto, gently sliding it onto Hinata's finger.
"T-Thank you, boss!" Hinata stroked the ring with admiration.
"Haha, it has nothing to do with me. It's all thanks to your good luck!" Haruto laughed.
"What else did she pull?!" Kiba asked eagerly.
Seeing the excitement on their faces, Haruto wasted no time moving on.
"Well, Blue Essence needs no explanation!" Haruto said casually.
"Wait, there's so much of it!" Ino noted.
"That's because it's two hundred units!" Haruto explained with a grin.
Hinata's luck doubled the usual amount!
"Wow, that coin is really something!" Chōji marveled.
"Yeah!" Ino agreed. "Let's see what else is here!"
Haruto reached for another item from the glowing orbs.
"Is this… a compass?!" Kiba asked, puzzled by the spinning needle.
"Is it broken?!" Ino asked as she noticed the erratic movement.
"Could it be… a junk item?" Chōji speculated.
"That's possible!" Shikamaru said lazily, hands behind his head.
"Boss?" Kurenai raised an eyebrow at Haruto.
Didn't he guarantee that the Destiny Coin would bring good luck?
Asuma smirked, trying to break the tension. "Well, even with a luck boost, junk can still appear!"
"Haha!" Haruto smirked coldly.
"You're all so naive!"
"Huh?!" The group was confused.
"Boss, what do you mean?" Ino asked. "Is the compass not broken?!"
"That's right!" Haruto said confidently. "This is called the Guiding Compass!"
"Guiding Compass?!" Everyone was baffled.
"It looks like a normal compass, but its purpose isn't navigation," Haruto explained slowly.
"Instead, it points toward what the user desires most."
"It doesn't matter if it's a real object or an abstract concept, it will lead you toward it!"
"What you desire most?!" Kiba was stunned.
"Come, let me show you!" Haruto snapped his fingers, and a pile of food appeared before them.
Haruto handed the compass to Chōji, who was visibly drooling at the sight.
The compass needle spun in circles before finally pointing straight at the food!
"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.
"Hehehe!" Chōji scratched his head awkwardly, rubbing his belly.
"See? That's the power of the Guiding Compass!" Haruto explained.
"It can reveal your true desires and lead you to them."
"And in moments of despair, it can even guide you to survival!"
Haruto's voice was calm but serious.
"Wait… what?!"
"It can actually lead you out of danger?!" Kiba was shocked.
His brain struggled to process such an incredible ability.
"Haha!" Haruto scoffed.
"This is no ordinary tool. Used wisely, it could save your life!"
Handing the compass to Hinata, Haruto turned toward the next item.
