Things from the original world meant Earth, right?

Xun Uzumaki glanced at the system interface again. MMP, those words "Myriad Heavens" weren't just a joke, were they? Or maybe...

"Could I travel through the myriad heavens someday?" Like in those power-fantasy novels—after beating up the Shinobi World, marrying Kaguya, and reaching the pinnacle of life, he could ascend to Pirates or Bleach and start all over again?

Am I the protagonist of a power fantasy?

"No, Host, you're overthinking it."

"..."

So what exactly is the point of you, this system?

Xun Uzumaki was instantly speechless. This system wasn't here just to be funny, was it?!

It flaunted the words "Myriad Heavens" just to attract customers. That was outright fraud, wasn't it?!

"This system can traverse planes," the system said blandly.

"What does you traversing planes have to do with me traversing planes?" Xun Uzumaki asked in confusion. Wasn't that supposed to be the same thing?

Could a system traverse on its own?

"Host, you're so smart!!"

"..."

So you really could traverse by yourself!

Then what about me?! Does that mean the system will take vacations every now and then, leave this plane for a trip, and bring its host back souvenirs?

"Don't worry. As long as you're alive, this system will absolutely never abandon you."

"..."

So that was what 'Myriad Heavens' meant!

In other words, once I kick the bucket, you'll transmigrate to another plane, find another host, and have him inherit my legacy? Xun Uzumaki suddenly had something he wasn't sure he should say. MMP, then why did you put the words 'Myriad Heavens' out there in the first place?

Why had everything he encountered lately been trying to forcibly take other people's property?

"Modifying. Modification complete."

As though it had sensed its host's inner thoughts, the system spoke again.

Then the interface became even more unbearable to look at!!

The words "Myriad Heavens" now had a huge red X drawn over them. It practically screamed cheap knockoff!

"Who designed this interface?" Xun Uzumaki looked at it suspiciously. Could it have been some student from a third-rate school who had rushed through a training course and had only just started job hunting? Or someone who had never properly learned the trade and was just here to coast?

"This system doesn't know either."

"..."

"Since I can exchange things from Earth and the Shinobi World, can I exchange for nuclear bombs?" Xun Uzumaki asked. If he could exchange for nukes, he planned to sail a ship to Kirigakure and have some fun, competing with Hozuki Gengetsu to see who could hold out longer. Everyone would have nuclear weapons then, so that would be fair. Sure, his nuclear weapon could move, but his caused nuclear contamination!

A few salvos later, the Land of Water would probably need to survey a new site and rebuild its ninja village.

"This is a harmonious society, not a terrorist society." The system was instantly speechless. "Earth's firearms violate the laws of a harmonious society, so they are unavailable."

"How useless." Disappointment showed on Xun Uzumaki's face. Compared to other transmigrators, this cheat was pathetic beyond belief! It had nothing he wanted, couldn't cross worlds, so what was it good for?

"Building a harmonious society also requires powerful weapons!"

What country had a harmonious society without strong military force backing it? None?

Heh, wouldn't that just be making wedding clothes for someone else?

"Host, don't worry. This system has already made arrangements."

"Oh? What?" Xun Uzumaki immediately asked curiously. Could it be something like Didi Beatdown? Whenever he ran into trouble, he could summon powerful people from other planes, the kind who arrived within a minute?

"No!!"

"Ah—."

Just tell me, what exactly are you good for?!

"You can exchange for ninjutsu and bloodlines," the system said.

"Oh?" Xun Uzumaki was immediately intrigued. Didn't that count as military power?

"Because ninjutsu can assist with every aspect of daily life and are extremely helpful in building a harmonious society."

"..."

Was this going to be about using Earth Style to pave roads and Water Style to irrigate fields?

Xun Uzumaki was instantly speechless. This was nothing but sophistry! Could it be that this system simply couldn't exchange for nuclear bombs and was shamelessly making excuses? Xun Uzumaki stared suspiciously at the interface.

"..."

Several ellipses suddenly appeared on the interface.

Xun Uzumaki let out a long sigh. It seemed his guess might really have been correct. "What a piece of trash."

"It can't be helped. The cosmic humanitarian laws stipulate that this system cannot casually exchange such things."

"But ninjutsu is allowed?" Xun Uzumaki asked.

"Ninjutsu hasn't been written into the law yet, so it's fine."

"What if I create Earth's firearms in the Shinobi World?"

"...That is allowed."

"..."

What was the difference?

Forget it, forget it. He would stop worrying about that and get through this crisis first!

"How do I get this reputation?" Xun Uzumaki asked curiously. The system had remained unopened for so many years, so why had it suddenly activated today? Was it because of this reputation?

Was it because of this reputation?

"When someone worships the Host, the Host can obtain reputation."

"Unlimited?" Xun Uzumaki narrowed his eyes and asked. If it really were unlimited, he suddenly realized that running a pyramid scheme in the Shinobi World had a very promising future!

"No. Each person can provide reputation three times. The first is Initial Worship, which provides one point. The second is Intermediate Worship, which provides one hundred points. The third is Absolute Worship, which provides one thousand points."

Sure enough, GMs would never give players a chance to farm infinite money. He currently had thirty thousand points, which meant roughly thirty thousand people worshiped him. It seemed that was because his scheme had succeeded. The reason it had not activated before was because...

I was still a child!

No matter how well he did, others would only think he was smart, promising, talented, the future of the Uzumaki Clan. They would not worship him.

But because of the special circumstances now, he had saved the Land of Whirlpools from disaster and made others overlook his actual age. Even if they knew how old he truly was, who wouldn't worship a mere seven-year-old who had saved the country and its people?!

That was why they worshiped him and awakened his system?

"Can you give me my beginner gift pack now?" Xun Uzumaki asked. This was a newbie benefit, after all! This useless system didn't happen to lack one too, did it? Xun Uzumaki narrowed his eyes at the system. If it did not have one...

It really would be useless!

"Yes, this system has one. However, because of the Host's rudeness, distribution has been delayed," the system said. "Rest assured, this system will not embezzle it. This system signed the 'System Honesty and Trustworthiness Treaty' and will not casually deceive its Host. If you discover that you have been deceived, Host may file a complaint with Transmigrator's Cheat, System Zone."

"..."

MMP, there was even an organization like that? How was he supposed to file a complaint? And that counted as a reason?

"Connecting to network. Network connection failed. If you have any issues, please contact customer service. Dialing customer hotline. Dial failed. No network available. Activating network. Please wait... Activation successful. Connection failed. Reconnecting..."

"Wait, you're not messing with me, are you? You don't even have a network signal?"

"You're very smart, Host."

"..."

This book got a site message!! Come on, everyone, congratulate the author! How about some recommendation votes to celebrate?
