A Great Harvest, Where Did Hajimi Come From?

As long as one does not violate taboos, the Main God will not issue impossible missions, nor will it issue missions that exceed the difficulty limit of the current rating.

Even after factoring in certain variables, this run was still a speed-run finish for Uchiha Xiu, who had already gained immense benefits in the Naruto World.

--[Main mission completed: Eliminate the undead creature Imhotep. Reward: Two B-rank side quests for the entire team, 6000 reward points.]

"Imhotep killed. Reward: One A-rank side quest, 8000 reward points!"

The data on the Reincarnation Watch updated in a massive wave.

As the one who dealt the killing blow, Uchiha Xiu received both major rewards—an extremely substantial haul!

And this did not even include the various undead guards, Sphinxes, and other such trifles that Kaguya-hime had dispatched using Rotation.

"Side mission triggered: Clear all Cursed Invaders within Cairo within twenty-four hours. Success: One B-rank side quest, 4000 reward points."

"Failure: Deduction of 8000 reward points."

"A reasonable point-farming session before the team battle? It's a bit unreasonable, but compared to the initial descent onto the Xenomorph ship, the Great Light Sphere is certainly being much more generous this time."

"Excluding the secondary return farming, if I do a bit more exploring now, I can easily upgrade to an AA-rank resource pack."

"At that point, I can exchange for an entirely new, powerful system to complement the comprehensive Naruto system, creating a one-plus-one-is-greater-than-two effect."

For a moment, his thoughts raced.

Then, he suppressed them.

Uchiha Xiu deactivated his compressed Susanoo form and exited the Lava Release Chakra Mode, allowing the Four-Tails battery that had briefly surged with power to rest.

As of now, he had not encountered a single powerful entity in the plot world capable of going head-to-head with him.

"I might have to wait until the novice team-building period ends. I wonder which reincarnation team we'll be matched with for the first team battle; surely it can't be the Devil Team right off the bat."

The next moment, the Main God's announcement rang out in his mind once again.

This was because Uchiha Xiu had picked up an ancient book from the ground.

--[Obtained plot item: Black Book of the Dead. Can be used to learn undead-type dark spells.

The holder must possess a negative or neutral energy cycle to utilize it.

You may decipher the incantations yourself to learn specific spells, or pay 1000 reward points in the Main God Space to complete the unlock...]

According to the Main God's introduction, the Black Book of the Dead in his hand was a pre-packaged magical tool, with internal models set for the activation of each incantation.

Therefore, all the user had to do was act like a "fool," providing a certain amount of energy and using mental power to shape it into a specific form.

It was just like a craftsman turning mechanical gears to transmit power, with the machine then outputting the result of the operation; the only difference was that the Black Book could provide a certain degree of amplification on top of the output.

But these things were of little significance.

Even if chakra belonged to a neutral energy cycle and I meet the requirements, I have no intention of becoming a traditional spellcaster. I am currently thinking about how to simplify or even omit the hand-sealing steps.

Where would I find the hands to spare for gestures!

I can hand it over to someone in the team who has a talent for mental power and an interest in this path. Thirteen newcomers arrived this time; there must be some important roles that the East Sea Team currently lacks.

"Wait, that's not right. Why doesn't the Black Book, which connects to the underworld, have a resurrection mechanism? Did I remember it wrong?"

Uchiha Xiu frowned slightly and tossed the book to Kaguya-hime, asking her to help store it in the Kamui dimension.

With the piercing vision of the Byakugan, Kaguya easily located the Book of Amun-Ra, which radiated powerful frontal fluctuations, and pointed out its location.

It was inside the statue of the Sun God Ra, in a semi-open small space.

He reached in with one hand.

The moment he touched it, the mechanism triggered again:

"Obtained plot item... Can be used to learn light-based restoration spells.

The learner must possess internal energy, mental energy, magic power, psychokinesis, true essence, immortal energy, divine contract power... to use it. You may decipher the text to learn, or learn it after returning to the Main God Space. Learning costs 1000 reward points... You must hold this book to use the skills on it until you return to the Main God Space..."

Finally!

Uchiha Xiu, who had been longing for an ultimate fallback, saw the thing he had been dreaming of at the very end.

[Return Altar: Can resurrect any member of the reincarnation team that the holder has seen. Each member can only be resurrected once. Upon resurrection, their state will be restored to what it was before death. Resurrection requires the consumption of the reward points that the member once possessed and spent, as well as twice the number of side quests.

Remember, each member can only be resurrected once...]

Gold holds the power of life!

Black masters the terror of death!

"Maybe I did remember it wrong; resurrection is actually related to the Book of Amun-Ra. Hmm, I'll leave it to Kitagawa Nacai, that pretty healer, to manage. Her holy light power meets the requirements for using the Book of Amun-Ra, and it will add some spellcasting paths and categories."

Amidst his muttering, a satisfied Uchiha Xiu raised his eyes to meet the gaze of the Sun God Ra, who stood over a hundred meters tall.

--Hawk-headed, human-bodied, wearing a sun disk headdress.

Very majestic.

In the mythology of any ancient civilization, the sun is the absolutely sacred creator god.

"Meow~"

Their eyes met.

Faintly, he heard the light, cheerful chirping of Hajimi, instinctively finding it rather cute.

In the Naruto World, the Uchiha clan shared a deep bond with cats.

"What is it?" Seeing her master with such a bountiful harvest, Kaguya-hime's face lit up with a smile as she leaned in closer, asking, "Why have you suddenly frozen here?"

"Did you not hear a cat meowing?"

"I did not. Ever since Imhotep was pinned and killed by you, the entire underground hall has remained in absolute silence."

As her words fell, the two of them fell into silence.

Kaguya-hime activated her Byakugan to its maximum power, refusing to overlook a single detail.

At this level of life, there was no reason for auditory hallucinations to occur!

Therefore, Uchiha Xiu, who was currently locking eyes with the Sun God Ra, had clearly encountered something.

"Aside from the aura of the Underworld, there is nothing here."

Time passed.

Kaguya-hime, feeling as if she were facing a formidable enemy, shook her head.

Uchiha Xiu, who felt that there was something hidden within, sighed helplessly: "Perhaps the gods of this place are playing a little joke."

Bastet, daughter of the Sun God Ra, whose image and functions evolved throughout history.

During the early Pharaonic dynasties, she was a lion-headed war goddess and the guardian of Lower Egypt, symbolizing war and vengeance. As the incarnation of the Eye of Ra, she once transformed into a fire lion to punish the impure, only to be lulled to sleep by red wine and later adopt a gentler image.

By the late dynasties, she became a household guardian deity, presiding over fertility, joy, and healing, wielding a sistrum or musical instruments to ward off evil. Her image became mild, symbolizing abundance; in the land of ancient Egypt, harming a cat could result in a death sentence from the temple priests.

"When I descend a second time to farm resources, I shall investigate more thoroughly. Cat Goddess... Uchiha... Reincarnator..."

With his Third-Stage Gene Lock brainpower fully engaged, Uchiha Xiu was unable to connect the various elements together, yet he did not fall into mental exhaustion.

"Let us go. We shall escort the native protagonist trio to the outskirts of Cairo, then see how the team members are training."

"And while we are at it, we shall complete the lucrative side quest."

Clear out the cursed ones in Cairo?

Is it the physical kind of clearing, or should I find a way to purify the curses on those Egyptians?

The latter, I suppose; the Main God has always held a bias in favor of the human faction.
