He spent 100 Resource Points to exchange for a very interesting item.

Wang Yan described Naruto's childhood experiences in Konoha with some embellishment, and produced the "video" that the Three Ninja were now watching.

"Little Naruto eats discounted food near its expiration date, drinks expired milk, and endures constant scolding from the adults around him, as well as beatings and ridicule from his peers."

"He is a child without parents. He is the incarnation of the Nine-Tails Fox. He was born bearing sin."

"So, all of this suffering is what he deserves."

Shua!

The light screen dissipated!

Jiraiya's face was flushed red with anger, veins bulging on his forehead. He wished he could rush back to Konoha right then and ask his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, just what the hell was going on.

Boom!

He punched the ground, venting his fury.

"Sigh..."

Tsunade sighed, a hint of disappointment showing in her almond eyes. "The Konoha of today has fallen."

The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, sacrificed themselves in the prime of their lives to protect Konoha. Their child, still in swaddling clothes—Naruto Uzumaki, who held infinite potential—also paid a price for Konoha by sealing the Nine-Tails within himself.

But Konoha's actions...

They were just too disappointing.

The Will of Konoha, the Will of Fire—where had all that beauty gone?

"So he's Naruto Uzumaki? The heir to the bloodlines of the Namikaze and Uzumaki Clans, the one who, in a possible future branch across countless timelines, pioneered Scientific Ninjutsu..."

Orochimaru, like a cold-blooded creature, showed no anger or disappointment. Instead, he smiled, observing little Naruto with keen interest.

Before the Three Ninja could exchange their thoughts, their first team quest was already issued.

Quest Background: The Child of Prophecy, Naruto Uzumaki, is in dire straits. Abuse, beatings, rumors. Malicious mockery, deliberate indulgence. The retreat of kindness is no reason for evil to encroach. Those burdened with grave sins must pay the price.

Team Main Quest: Seize control of Konoha, thoroughly purge the Konoha high-ranking officials! Based on their actions, deliver the corresponding judgment!

Quest Rewards: Destiny Gem (specific grade determined by quest completion and Reincarnator performance), Reward Points calculated and distributed via Instant Calculation based on quest completion.

Quest Penalty: None (one-time exemption for the first team quest).

Despite Jiraiya's dramatic reaction, deep down he still held illusions about Konoha.

The deeper the love, the sharper the criticism—that was the principle.

"Do we take this quest or not?"

When Jiraiya asked this question, he suddenly felt like a villain—a villain standing on the side of the oppressors.

After saying this, Jiraiya's face turned crimson, as if ashamed of his own indecision.

Orochimaru, however, was resolute and answered without hesitation: "Of course we take it. My recent research requires special rare metals called 'Adamantium' and 'Orichalcum,' and I'm sorely lacking in Reward Points."

After a moment of silence, Tsunade asked coldly, "Is a Konoha where heroes bleed and weep even worth existing?"

The moment those words left her mouth, Jiraiya was so startled he nearly bit his own tongue.

The Main God Mission only asked them to purge and replace the Konoha high-ranking officials!

Who would have thought that the last princess of the Senju Clan would directly want to annihilate Konoha?!

Was this fall to darkness really that fast?

"Forget it. It was still the life's work of Grandpa Hashirama and Tobirama. Destroying it outright would be too unfilial."

Tsunade seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said reluctantly, "The atmosphere in Konoha is so rotten—it must be a problem with the high-ranking officials. So, we take this quest!"

With the team leader calling the shots, what was there left to decide?

Human nature was strange. If Tsunade had simply said they'd take it, Jiraiya would probably have thrown a little tantrum and sulked.

But after she first proposed destroying Konoha, then vetoed that idea herself, Jiraiya immediately felt—the Main God's quest was practically merciful!

It had to be said, Tsunade indeed had the makings of a leader.

Orochimaru gave her a knowing, half-smiling glance but offered no comment.

As long as he got enough Reward Points to exchange for research materials, and as long as Tsunade, as the leader, distributed resources fairly, he wouldn't have the slightest thought of vying for power.

Power?

An endless world of science awaited his exploration—why waste energy on such boring matters!

Konoha, atop the Fourth Hokage Rock.

Naruto sat hugging his knees, a look of slight bewilderment on his face.

He'd always been shouting all day about becoming Hokage, but his real goal was just to be acknowledged by everyone, to earn their respect.

But now, a Guide to Quick Makeup Sorcery and an Image Scroll of the Fourth Hokage had easily let him realize his dreams and pursuits.

He felt like he'd suddenly lost all motivation.

A fierce wind swept in, making the Wordless God Robe rustle loudly.

"Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina. Those are my father and mother's names."

Naruto stared blankly into the distance.

He reached out a hand, as if trying to grasp something.

A wisp of breeze slipped through his fingers, taking Naruto's heart with it.

Just then...

Wang Yan suddenly appeared five meters up in the air: "Yo! Why the long face today?"

Naruto seemed to have lost his soul, his voice dazed: "I have no family left in this world."

He felt like crying, but the toughness forged from years of living alone made him habitually choke the tears back.

These past few days, he'd been reading the Book of Prophecies and training in the Rasengan with Sasuke and Sakura, slowly building some rapport, but not enough to pour out his heart to them.

"Who says?"

Wang Yan pursed his lips. "People die, but they can be revived too."

Naruto's eyes went wide, his mouth dropping open, his expression utterly exaggerated: "R-re... revived?"

"Yeah~ As long as you become a Reincarnator under Lord Main God and earn enough Reward Points and Destiny Gems, you can truly bring your parents back to life."

Wang Yan's words were like a demon's temptation. "Actually, Sasuke already became a Reincarnator ahead of you. He's someone with obsessions too..."

At that, Naruto scrambled to his feet with a howl, his face full of fighting spirit: "What?! That smug Sasuke beat me to it?! No way, I'm becoming that whatever Reincarnator too!"

"It's Reincarnator..." Wang Yan covered half his face, helpless. "Forget it, whatever."

Want to revive your parents? Want to surpass Sasuke?

Yes / No

"Of course!"

Naruto gave his firm answer.

In an instant, countless pieces of information flooded into the depths of his mind.

About the Exchange List, Reward Points, Reincarnators, the Main God, missions...

Daily plea for votes! (òó)!
