Naruto

Jiang Rui wandered around for quite a while. Once he confirmed he would not run into that strange "Indecent" clothing store again, he sighed in relief and casually bought a phone...

Fortunately, foreign phone cards did not require real-name registration, making things convenient for us lawbreakers. After silently mocking this in his heart, Jiang Rui quickly set up the phone and found an internet café.

Great Sage, do you have all of Jarvis's abilities?

"All technical data, including hacking techniques, can be accessed and simulated at any time!"

Okay, I think I need identification. Two identities—Rimuru and Brent. Uh, change Brent's name. As for the surname, Rand will do.

"Confirmation complete."

Entering Sage Mode again and operating with Great Sage's assistance, Jiang Rui's hands turned into blurs as they clattered across the keyboard. The young man gaming nearby kept glancing over at him before muttering, "Showing off!" and ignoring him.

About five minutes later, Jiang Rui had obtained two legal identities, along with several backup "legal" identities.

Then he walked into the restroom.

Uh, could I go into the women's restroom?

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jiang Rui still turned into the men's room.

There was no one around anyway!

When he came out again, he had become Brent, a mixed-race young man with dark brown hair and slightly lighter black eyes.

Of course, he should be called Jason now.

He casually had Great Sage find a decent-looking house online and rented it.

After settling everything, night had fallen outside, the stars spreading across the sky. Jiang Rui leaned against the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

There was no rush to return home. His top priority now was to grow stronger. With the Slime template, he should have decent self-defense capabilities once he reached the mid Sequences.

But he could not stay home forever and wait for the next world to descend.

Based on what he knew so far, Ruksinth was clearly unhappy with The Church and even wanted to kick it while it was down. Town Mountain River, where Seal Throat belonged, was the same. Beneath the order of the main world, struggles and cooperation between supernatural forces were also hidden away.

In other words, unlike the Main God Space he remembered, the main world was not merely a place to rest. It was instead the center of conflict.

Then what was Paradise's purpose? If it was some kind of existence that needed superhumans to invade other worlds for it, why did it not forbid conflicts in the real world?

But no matter what, he could not just shut himself away and work behind closed doors.

He needed to reach Sequence 8 as soon as possible and enter the so-called R'lyeh.

Jiang Rui rolled over onto his stomach and propped up his chin as he guessed.

A void node...?

Then the organizations in this world were a little terrifying.

The only organizations he currently knew of were The Church, Town Mountain River, and Ruksinth's organization.

The Church... Did that mean there was also a Dark Council? A Hermetic Order?

Could there also be Heaven, Hell, and the Living Tribunal?

Did The Church's Sequence ultimately lead to angels? Or God?

Without realizing it, Jiang Rui began ranting wildly.

The scariest part was that these damned things might actually exist!!

This was kind of terrifying.

The waters of this world seemed rather deep.

If he suddenly revealed himself as a newly awakened superhuman, would some organization come recruit him?

This really felt like courting death...

Early the next morning, Jiang Rui yawned as he stepped onto the street.

He was going to Times Square to look for a storefront!

That was right. Since he wanted to put down roots in this world—

What kind of man could go without a business of his own?

So he decided to open a shop and fulfill his little dream from his previous life of becoming a self-employed businessman.

As for what kind of shop to open!

Since he had wanted to open an internet café in his previous life!

Then in this life, he would open a detective exorcism agency!

However, when Jiang Rui slowly made his way to Times Square, he found the area ahead sealed off.

It seemed that a massive explosion had happened here while he was eating yesterday?

Remembering the direction of that wisp of smoke on the horizon yesterday, along with the two girls who had later fled in panic, everything connected into a single thread.

That was it.

It was probably some superhuman group that had caused a gas pipeline explosion!

Tsk. As expected, the people of the United States lived in dire straits every day.

With that thought, Jiang Rui, who had always followed the salted-fish creed that avoiding excitement meant avoiding death, prepared to go back and catch up on his beauty sleep.

Today was his first day as an official employee. How could he not get enough rest?

"Determining new world..."

"Information interference confirmed. World name confirmed."

"Derived World: Naruto."

"Time: Year 32 of Konoha."

"Mission release type: Individual."

"This mission is a wilderness-development trial. There are no faction missions. Mutual killing within Supernatural Paradise's forces is discouraged. Please make every effort to obtain Twist Value or increase your influence on the world."

"Due to the simulated wilderness-development mission, Supernatural Paradise's default control over the world is: Unable to interfere."

"You possess 1 Legend Point, which will be converted into a single evaluation increase!"

"Participants: 27."

"Teleportation will begin in thirty seconds. Please prepare!"

As the light distorted around him, Jiang Rui opened his eyes and swiftly scanned his surroundings.

He was beside a crystal-clear stream, with quite a few scattered rocks around him.

Behind him lay lush green grass, and beyond it stood a forest. From time to time, flocks of birds flew out of the woods in alarm, their clear cries echoing through the air.

The trees were tall. They really had Naruto's distinctive style.

Jiang Rui gave them a glance and stopped caring. After all, Year 32 of Konoha was either during the Second Shinobi World War or the Third Shinobi World War. Small-scale clashes in the forest were nothing unusual.

He glanced at the world channel. It was completely quiet.

Were they all newcomers or low-Sequence people, so they were being cautious?

"Main Mission One: Join a shinobi faction. Time limit: One month."

"Main Mission Two: Increase your influence on the world as much as possible. Time limit: None."

So only after joining a Ninja Village would the subsequent personal missions be unlocked?

The world of Naruto, and during wartime at that. There truly was no world better suited to selecting and tempering newcomers.

At that thought, Jiang Rui raised his brows—

To increase his influence during a war?

The fastest method was naturally to participate in the war, fight hard, kill enemies, and earn military merit.

But the battlefield was also unimaginably dangerous. One careless mistake, and not even scraps would remain.

Even if Sequence 9 had maxed-out attributes, it would at most be five or six times stronger than an ordinary person.

Even though shinobi now were not yet capable of casually destroying the heavens and earth like those of later years, a High Ninja was still not someone he could handle.

Great Sage, All Things, create map navigation and search the database. Determine the general situation in Year 32 of Konoha.

"Confirmation complete."

Immediately afterward, a rough map of the shinobi world appeared before him. A chibi Slime icon representing Jiang Rui rested quietly beside a stream in the lower-right corner.

Within the Land of Fire, near the border. To the south were the Land of Artisans and the famous Land of Waves.

"Year 32 of Konoha, during the Second Shinobi World War. Based on the mission description, methods of obtaining enormous amounts of Twist Value include: choosing to Destroy Akatsuki, killing demigods or the Three Ninja, helping the Land of Wind achieve victory, helping the Land of Earth achieve victory..."

Stop, stop, stop!

Your ideas are wonderful, but I can't do it!

Leaving aside the issue of strength, from where he currently was, reaching Amegakure on the central battlefield was simply a dream!

He was in the south of the Land of Fire, practically at the seaside already!!

But...
