Chapter Summaries

After transmigrating into the defeated Land of Rain as Amegakure Chunin Jingū Kiraku, he discovered a system that could help him build a civilization and grow stronger. He opened his first reputation reward, gained an S-rank Speech skill, and stepped onto a tavern platform to address the desperate crowd.

• Jingū Kiraku recalled his original body's history as a blind Amegakure Chunin whose hopes collapsed when Hanzō the Salamander surrendered to Konoha and the Land of Rain fell into economic ruin.
• Jingū Kiraku resolved to endure rather than challenge Hanzō directly, then learned that the Ninja Civilization System had bound him to Amegakure.

• White Zetsu reported that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had disappeared, and Madara ordered him to search the shinobi world for signs of it.

After Hanzō the Salamander’s death and Jingū Kiraku’s rise as Amegakure’s new leader, Konoha prepared to protect its interests in the Land of Rain while Iwagakure and Sunagakure hoped the turmoil would weaken Konoha. Jingū examined the rewards he gained for killing Hanzō, then turned his attention to three new system features.

After becoming leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Jingū Kiraku inspected the newly unlocked Technology Tree and found a vast range of conventional and ninja technologies, including absurd late-game options such as Chakra Gundam.
