"Two thousand points short..."
Gaara calculated silently.
He did not impulsively resurrect his mother. It was not only because he lacked the points, but also because he was currently too weak and his environment was far too dangerous.
What kind of place was the Akatsuki Organization?
A gathering place for killers, Rogue Ninjas, Bounty Hunters, cultists, kin-slayers, and dreamers!
Working alongside dreamers was especially more terrifying than the other types. One careless move, and he would be surrounded by enemies. He could run into seven or eight people trying to kill him just by stepping out to buy breakfast.
Changing the world...
Nothing was more thankless or exhausting than that.
Without sufficient strength, it was entirely possible that he would resurrect his mother, reunite with her for less than two days, and then have them both killed by some unknown powerhouse's wide-area ninjutsu.
If that truly happened, if he did not even have the power to protect his family, what would that make him?
A tragedy, or a comedy?
Gaara resolved to become strong enough to protect his parents.
In his view, his father Rasa was still far from a true powerhouse.
Not to mention anyone else—just that "Wang Yan," the mysterious man who had fabricated the Ninja World Peace Council. Whenever Gaara thought carefully about Wang Yan's level of strength, he felt fear deep in his heart.
Only after becoming a Reincarnator did he realize something.
During the time Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno had spent in Sunagakure, all three had worn Konoha ninja Headbands on their foreheads!
Yet no one, including his father, the Fourth Kazekage, had noticed it!
Gaara would never forget the look of sudden realization and the cold sweat covering his father's head after he had pointed it out.
If Wang Yan wanted to kill them, he probably had hundreds of methods. They might not even know how they had died.
"A peak powerhouse with a strange personality..."
Gaara instinctively placed Wang Yan at the pinnacle of combat power in the ninja world.
"I wonder whether that 'Tobi' and the Six Paths of Pain controlled by Nagato could defeat Wang Yan?"
Under Sasori of the Red Sands' guidance, Gaara successfully joined the Akatsuki Organization.
Then came the problem.
The Akatsuki Organization had ten people in total, each holding a ring. From the right thumb to the left thumb, they were: Zero, Blue, White, Vermilion, Mysterious, Void, South, North, Three, and Gyoku.
These rings were their respective codenames.
The ten slots were originally already full.
What was the eleventh official member supposed to do?
Count the toes too?
An anklet?
Gaara was indeed talented, and he already knew the Akatsuki Organization's secrets. Letting him go was impossible.
Kill him?
Killing such talent outright would be too wasteful. They would be struck by heaven's wrath!
Then what should they do?
This problem did not trouble Nagato for long.
The Uzumaki blood within Nagato stirred. After a brief moment of thought, he made a series of swift adjustments and cleanly resolved the issue.
Not long after.
Gaara received an earring engraved with the character "Dark."
"You may only wear it on your left ear."
Nagato's obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up as he gave the instruction.
He also casually made an earring bearing the character "Light," intending to have some newcomer wear it on their right ear in the future...
The Akatsuki Organization had originally existed to reform the world and build bright bridges of trust between people. Making a few slight changes to the system was no big deal, right?
Beside Nagato, a young girl with light bluish-purple hair smiled gently. "Nagato is in a good mood today..."
As she spoke, her amber eyes seemed to radiate soft candlelight, while the pale purple paper flower pinned to the side of her head swayed slightly.
She was beautiful beyond words.
"A promising newcomer joined today. Gaara... an Asura who loves only himself? Hehe... that earring suits him very well. And besides... we are one step closer to realizing our dream of peace." Sitting in his wheelchair, Nagato gave a weak smile, clearly in the mood to talk.
Recently, some of the organization members who had passed away had been resurrected in a certain sense, and new members had joined as well.
Perhaps this was fate's guidance.
The day the Akatsuki Organization rose to power was about to arrive!
Gaara joining the Akatsuki Organization earned Wang Yan twenty thousand Resource Points, raising his stockpile from 152300 to 172300.
"The progress is much faster than expected. Gaara really is a man of action!"
Wang Yan silently gave the current seven Reincarnators an overall ranking.
The research-mad Orochimaru ranked highest. Although his main improvements were not in combat power, his scientific literacy and accumulated knowledge were advancing by leaps and bounds.
Not long after becoming a Reincarnator, he had risen from the level of an ordinary Folk Scientist to that of a top academy fellow.
His talent and conviction were both outstanding. As for "willpower"...
Orochimaru did not have such a thing.
His willpower had been completely replaced by "fanaticism."
According to Wang Yan's observations, Orochimaru had already gone ninety-five consecutive hours without sleep. He was relying entirely on medicine and a breath of Immortal aura to hold on. Wang Yan estimated that before long, he would need to use the forbidden technique Living Corpse Reincarnation to change bodies.
However, changing bodies was much easier for Orochimaru now than it had been before. Whether he exchanged for and created one directly from the Main God's list or cloned a body himself, he could achieve perfect results.
The second place below Orochimaru was Gaara.
The slight changes in Gaara's personality intrigued Wang Yan.
No matter how dangerous the mission target was, he was never afraid. He just charged in and fought!
He handled missions in only two steps—1, find the problem. 2, solve the problem.
Gaara never asked how strong the enemy was. He only asked where the enemy was.
Moreover, he was not merely brave without wisdom. His ability to adapt was quite impressive.
Perhaps it was the influence of three years of training in the game world that had taught him how to say the right thing to the right person.
Wang Yan could foresee the future development of Gaara and Orochimaru.
"Gaara wants to exchange for the Sand-Sand Fruit? He has enough Destiny Gems, but he is still short on Reward Points. I'll give him an Optional Mission in a few days and let him gather the remaining Reward Points."
"One day, I'll throw him into the One Piece world and have him become a Shichibukai or join the Revolutionary Army."
"Gaara meeting Crocodile should be somewhat dramatic."
Wang Yan lay comfortably in the Uchiha mansion.
This house had been abandoned for many years and originally looked like a haunted house, old and dilapidated. After he tidied it up a little, it became bright and refreshing again.
He spent a small amount of Reward Points to exchange for a large brainwave-controlled computer screen. Watching dramas, catching up on anime, reading novels, playing games, eating cola chicken wings and popcorn...
Life was quite pleasant.
As for the three Genin of Team Seven...
Wang Yan directly stuffed them into Kakashi's class and had the masked Hatake man lead them.
Why would Kakashi, who hated trouble, accept such an unreasonable request?
A master of mind manipulation—enough said.
Peace and tranquility were not the norm, and this leisurely time did not last long.
After Wang Yan reached High Rank Steel Dragon in Holographic Monster Hunter World, his peaceful daily life was shattered.
"Ancestor? Are you there?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't rush me! Wait until I kill this Steel Dragon, then I'll come... Holy crap, why is it harder to fight than a Rusted Dragon? Are your dragon scales made of Vibranium?"
Ten minutes later.
Wang Yan crawled out of the game pod with a satisfied expression and shifted his consciousness to the Thought Clone.
He casually erased the words Hinata should not have heard from her memories. After cutting away her little worries, he asked gently, "What is it?"
This little girl who called him Ancestor every day really was adorable...
And her values were very upright. Not only did she not discriminate against girls' pure lily love, she even actively promoted such ideas in her works.
That was why Wang Yan liked her very much now.
However, the instant his gaze fell upon Hinata, his expression suddenly turned grave.
"Another troubled time..."
Hinata: I feel like I forgot something important...
That's right! I remember now!
Blinking her big, watery eyes, Hinata said softly, "Please cast recommendation votes! Please bookmark!"
