Recruitment System

Zhang Miao was not the kind of person who liked relying on external things. Even during the hardest times of his previous life, he had never thought of relying on anyone.

But now, he had no choice, because this was the Naruto World.

Everyone knew that the Naruto World placed great importance on one's origins. Bloodline basically determined a person's achievements in life.

What was even more terrifying was that even Kekkei Genkai that initially seemed incredibly powerful—even the higher-level Kekkei Tōta—would ultimately become nothing more than cannon fodder for someone stronger.

In the original story, Naruto and Sasuke had managed to hold on until the end because they were the reincarnations of the Sage of Six Paths' sons—Indra and Asura!

Yet even those two incredible people, with the help of the Sage of Six Paths and the nine tailed beasts, had nearly been killed by Kaguya Otsutsuki. If not for Obito, Sakura, and Kakashi's help, they might have failed, and the ninja world would naturally have been doomed.

The enemy was simply too powerful. Hard work alone could not stand against her, so Zhang Miao could only place his hopes on the system in his mind.

"Systems in novels are all so damn powerful. You'd better not let me down!"

As though it had sensed Zhang Miao's thoughts, that voice echoed through his mind once more.

"This system's full name is the Ninja Recruitment System. As the name implies, its purpose is to recruit ninjas. With this system, the host can recruit any ninja to serve him and can also obtain that person's bloodline power or ninjutsu. Furthermore, the host's own Chakra is the sum total of all recruited ninjas' Chakra!"

"Gasp!"

Upon hearing the system's answer, Zhang Miao could not help sucking in a cold breath, his eyes filled with shock.

"You mean my own Chakra is the combined total of my recruited ninjas' Chakra? So if I recruit ten ninjas, my Chakra will be the sum of all ten of their Chakra?"

"That is correct. The more ninjas the host recruits, the greater his total Chakra will be!"

"Gasp!"

After receiving the system's confirmation, Zhang Miao once again sucked in a cold breath, while his eyes filled with wild delight.

"Great! This Recruitment System really is an incredibly powerful system. I'm going to be rich!"

Naturally, Zhang Miao had a reason to be so happy, because Chakra was one of the most important standards for measuring a ninja's strength!

As everyone knew, Chakra was one of the vital prerequisites for a ninja to use ninjutsu. No matter what ninjutsu one used, Chakra was required, and the amount of Chakra directly determined how much ninjutsu a ninja could use.

It was like a duel between two gunmen. One had only a few bullets, while the other had dozens. If their marksmanship was about the same, then naturally, the one with more bullets held the advantage.

And Chakra was far more formidable than bullets, because with sufficiently immense Chakra, some powerful ninjas could unleash devastating super ninjutsu!

For example, the First Hokage's Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!

Ninjutsu of that level could only be described as earth-shattering!

Of course, super ninjutsu like Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence could not be performed with Chakra alone; they also required the corresponding Kekkei Genkai to support them. But that was enough to show the importance of Chakra. To put it simply: overwhelming strength could defeat any technique!

And Chakra was that "strength"!

In fact, tailed beasts were so powerful precisely because they possessed astonishingly vast amounts of Chakra. The Nine-Tails in particular was a terrifying tailed beast with nearly limitless Chakra!

Zhang Miao could already imagine himself, with the Recruitment System's help, possessing Chakra beyond that of a tailed beast and becoming a "super mobile artillery platform."

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued questioning the Recruitment System in his mind.

"Then how do I recruit ninjas? Do I recruit wandering ninjas?"

In Zhang Miao's view, recruiting ninjas who belonged to ninja villages was generally impossible. Only wandering ninjas who had lost their countries might accept his recruitment.

But to Zhang Miao's surprise, the moment that thought arose, the system in his mind immediately rejected it.

"The host is mistaken. With this system, the host possesses the ability to recruit any ninja. He only needs to defeat the other party or gain that person's recognition to obtain that person's Ninja Fragments!"

"Ninja Fragments?" Zhang Miao was immediately confused upon hearing the term. "What are Ninja Fragments?"

Faced with Zhang Miao's question, the system immediately gave him an answer.

"Ninja Fragments are the necessary items used by the Recruitment System to recruit ninjas. As long as the host collects enough of the corresponding Ninja Fragments, he can recruit the corresponding ninja. Whether ordinary ninjas or powerful individuals with Kekkei Genkai, all can be recruited!"

"Gasp..." Zhang Miao could not help sucking in another cold breath upon hearing this. "Doesn't that mean I have the chance to obtain other Kekkei Genkai?"

"That is correct! As long as the host uses Ninja Fragments to recruit a ninja with a Kekkei Genkai, he can not only gain that person's unwavering loyalty, but also obtain that person's Kekkei Genkai or ninjutsu, as well as that person's Chakra Reserves at their peak. In addition, the system possesses many other powerful functions that the host must discover himself!"

Upon hearing the system's answer, Zhang Miao could no longer contain his joy and burst into loud laughter.

"Wahahaha... Excellent! With an ability like this, what the hell do I have to fear? I might not be able to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki, but can't I handle Obito Uchiha and Nagato? Once I take care of those two, I'll dig out Madara Uchiha's pair of fish eyes and stomp them into pulp!"

At that moment, Zhang Miao, now possessing the Recruitment System, felt boundless confidence and ambition surge in his heart.

"Without those fish eyes, even if Madara Uchiha is revived, let's see what he can use to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Without the Infinite Tsukuyomi, what can that old bastard Black Zetsu use to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki? I'm a damn genius! Hahahaha... Wahahahaha..."

Just as Zhang Miao was laughing happily, something was suddenly shoved into his mouth, bringing his laughter to an abrupt halt.

At the same time, a rough voice rang out beside his ear.

"Stop laughing and drink your milk!"

"..."

Only then did Zhang Miao suddenly realize that he was currently still a tiny baby. Even if he wanted to deal with Obito, he would have to wait until he grew up.

At present, there was only one thing he needed to do—drink milk!

What else was there to say? Drink up!

"Smack, smack, smack... Burp..."

"..."
