New Reincarnation Mission

Inside the Main God Space, Zhu Shen summarized the recent reincarnation mission. The initial mission achieved the following goals:

1. Tested the reincarnation mission mechanism. The efficiency of point acquisition was low, and there were loopholes in the mission design. If Minato had directly ambushed and killed Arlong at the start of the mission and then fled, he would have essentially gained points for free. After all, even Kizaru could not pin down a Minato who possessed space-time ninjutsu.

2. Located the One Piece World and attempted to absorb trans-world reincarnators. In the Naruto World, because Zhu Shen is the planet's will, he does not need to spend points to absorb anyone as a reincarnator; he only needs to locate them via detection and project the Main God Sub-System into their minds.

However, in other worlds, if he does not control the world's origin, absorbing reincarnators requires spending points, and he must have a medium—someone who has already become a reincarnator—to provide a location. For example, because the reincarnator Minato came into contact with Kizaru, Zhu Shen could choose to precisely project the sub-system into Kizaru's mind.

The cost depends on the strength of the individual's destiny. When Zhu Shen first projected Minato, he attempted to set Kizaru as a reincarnator; the system indicated it would cost approximately 5,000 points, roughly one-tenth of Kizaru's Tier 3 intermediate strength.

After Minato wounded Kizaru and killed Arlong, Zhu Shen tried again. Setting Kizaru as a reincarnator now only required 2,500 points. Zhu Shen speculated that the battle between Minato and Kizaru caused their destinies to entangle, leading Kizaru's destiny to be tainted by the aura of the Reincarnation Space, thus significantly reducing the point cost.

Setting powerful plot characters as reincarnators allows for the rapid completion of high-difficulty missions early on, but the downside is the high absorption cost. If one chooses weak individuals, while their early strength is low, the advantage is the low point cost for absorption.

The more Zhu Shen thought about it, the more he felt that relying on his own considerations was not comprehensive enough, and he would not be able to manage everything once there were more reincarnators. He opened the system and searched.

"Found it, you're the one."

Exchange: Artificial Intelligence—Jarvis, for computing power upgrades. Rating: B-level Excellent. Price: 20,000 points.

Jarvis was legendary in Zhu Shen's previous life, the first artificial intelligence created by the superhero Iron Man in the Marvel Universe, named after his butler, Jarvis. It possessed immense computing power, could think independently, and helped its master handle various affairs and calculate information.

There were many artificial intelligences more powerful than Jarvis, but in terms of cost-effectiveness and ease of use, Zhu Shen chose him.

"From today on, you shall be called Baymax. I will send you the relevant requirements for recruiting reincarnators and issuing missions, and you will formulate plans for me to review."

"Understood, Master!"

Jarvis transformed into a white, chubby, round figure—the exact image of the robot Baymax from Big Hero 6.

Before long, Baymax formulated the second reincarnation plan according to the requirements. Zhu Shen waved his hand, granted Baymax partial system permissions, and, while overseeing the operation, initiated the second reincarnation mission.

Within an ordinary residence in Dressrosa, located in the One Piece World, Orochimaru—one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha—slowly stirred from his unconscious state and opened his eyes.

What met his eyes was not his familiar secret laboratory, but a room with a completely different style.

When did I lose consciousness? Who did this? Could it be that my secret laboratory in the village was discovered?

Orochimaru immediately stood up to examine his surroundings, simultaneously observing the others in the room.

There were three men and one woman. Based on their appearances and known intelligence, he secretly guessed their identities: the muscular man with bronze skin and a wide belt, currently unconscious by the bed, was the Fourth Raikage A of the Hidden Cloud Village, an enemy of Konoha; the man with a shark-like face, dressed in Anbu attire and wearing a Hidden Mist Village headband, was likely an Anbu ninja from the Hidden Mist; there was also a man with a simple, honest face wearing a Hidden Stone Village headband, likely from the Hidden Stone; as for the woman lying on the other bed, Orochimaru recognized her—she was Pakura, the Scorch Release ninja who had been very active during the Third Shinobi World War.

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth with a sinister charm. Which faction is behind this? Capturing ninjas from all five great villages at once? Orochimaru analyzed them one by one in his mind, just as the others began to wake up.

"Konoha's Sannin, Orochimaru! Is this your doing?"

The Fourth Raikage had been handling government affairs in his office when he felt a wave of drowsiness and took a nap. Upon waking, he found himself in a strange environment with a Konoha ninja "lurking" nearby. Being hot-tempered, he immediately spoke up, blue chakra light faintly erupting from his body, as if he would attack the moment he received a confirmation.

At that moment, a cold, ethereal voice suddenly echoed throughout the room:

[During the reincarnation mission, members of the same squad are prohibited from maliciously harming each other. The first offense results in a deduction of 1,000 points; the second results in erasure!]

"Who! Who is there?" The blue light around the Fourth Raikage flared, his face grave.

Orochimaru curiously sensed his surroundings; even he could not detect where the voice originated, as if it had appeared out of thin air. The other three, startled by the Fourth Raikage's movement, stopped "feigning sleep," moved away from the group, and stood on guard, eyeing the others.

Zhu Shen, who was secretly controlling everything, saw this and waved his hand, issuing the mission.

A light screen appeared before the five reincarnators:

[Reincarnation World: One Piece World, Year 1512 of the Sea Circle Calendar. Background: 800 years ago, 20 kings jointly established the World Government, calling themselves the "descendants of the creators," the Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragons enjoy supreme power in this world. 800 years ago, the Donquixote Family abandoned their status as Dressrosa royalty to move into the holy land of the Celestial Dragons, Mary Geoise, and the Riku Family became the new royal family. 800 years later, because his father lost his status as a Celestial Dragon, Donquixote Doflamingo decided to take back everything he had lost. He led his subordinates to Dressrosa, and a conspiracy to steal the country began...

Main Mission 1: "Snipe the Heavenly Yaksha"; Mission Requirement: Prevent Donquixote Doflamingo's plan to steal the country. Main Mission 2: Not yet unlocked.

Mission Completion Reward: Each surviving reincarnator receives 3,000 points and 3 C-level side quests. Each Donquixote Family top executive killed grants 1,000 points; ordinary executives grant 500 points. Mission Failure Penalty: Erasure!]

[Mission start countdown: 00:19:59]

"This doesn't seem to be the Ninja World, does it?" Kitsuchi of the Hidden Stone Village had intended to keep a low profile and wait for an opportunity, but the events unfolding before his eyes forced him to question everything.

Hoshigaki Kisame of the Hidden Mist Village observed from the window for a long time before saying, "Outside is a massive city. The architectural style and the people I see are unlike anything I've ever encountered. Furthermore," Kisame pointed to the faint protective barrier outside the window, "this barrier-like thing seems to be shielding their line of sight."

"Could it be some kind of genjutsu?" Pakura, the Scorch Release ninja from Sunagakure who had been listening silently, also spoke up.

"Whatever the situation, I only trust my fists." Raikage Ay walked to the window and released the chakra within his body. Blue chakra formed a mantle around his skin—the secret technique passed down through generations of Hidden Cloud Raikages: the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. In this state, Ay used lightning-attribute chakra to stimulate his cellular activity, vastly increasing his offense, speed, and defense.

"Let this brute go and test it out," the others thought. No one voiced an opinion on the Raikage's actions; they tacitly agreed to sit back and watch.

The Raikage activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, leaped out the window, gathered a mass of blue light in his right hand, and slammed it into the spherical protective barrier.

However, the Raikage's flashy, powerful punch hit the barrier like an egg striking a rock. The barrier didn't even ripple, while the Raikage suffered a severe backlash. It was as if an ordinary man had punched an indestructible iron wall with all his might; he was sent flying backward, crashing through the house they were sheltering in and landing on the ground.

The other four watched the Raikage's disheveled state in silence, calculating their own thoughts.

"Damn it!" After making a fool of himself, the Raikage jumped up, ready to regain his pride, but someone blocked him.

"Enough, Raikage! It is clear that this barrier cannot be broken. Regardless of who brought us to this place, and regardless of whether this place is some ridiculous other world, we can only act according to his instructions for now," Orochimaru said, stopping the Raikage's meaningless actions.

"I agree," Kitsuchi followed up immediately. Pakura and Hoshigaki Kisame also clearly signaled their agreement with Orochimaru's words.

Raikage Ay looked around. He wasn't afraid of Orochimaru, a veteran Kage-level powerhouse, but it would be unwise to start a conflict blindly in an unfamiliar environment. Besides, after testing the others, he realized they were truly as ignorant of the situation as he was, so he took the opportunity to step down from the tension Orochimaru had diffused.

Orochimaru began to analyze the mission. "The mission target is clearly this Donquixote Doflamingo. The goal is to prevent him from becoming king, and there are many ways to do that. The most direct method is to kill him. However, the mission creator did not issue a task to kill him, but rather to kill his subordinates. It is highly likely that the person behind this believes our strength is insufficient to kill the target, so they shifted the objective to thwarting his plans."

A gleam of excitement flickered in Orochimaru's snake-like pupils. Watching everything, Zhu Shen couldn't help but applaud Orochimaru. He was truly the only person in the Ninja World who believed in science—one of the tools he had long since set his sights on!

In fact, as a veteran Warlord of the Sea, Doflamingo had mastered the three types of Haki and Devil Fruit Awakening. In the system's power evaluation, he barely reached the mid-tier of the third stage. While he appeared to be on the same level as Kizaru, he would likely be crushed by Kizaru in a real fight.

But compared to the people from the Ninja World, Doflamingo's physical constitution was near-monstrous; his endurance and defense were far superior to those of the ninjas. Again, power levels don't represent everything; paper stats are always just paper stats.

However, Doflamingo possessed considerable combat prowess in the original story. Although he seemed second-rate due to being defeated by the protagonist Luffy for the sake of the plot, as a veteran Warlord of the New World, his strength was respectable. Moreover, the Donquixote Family had several high-ranking officers who were troublesome. Considering all this, Zhu Shen had arranged a multi-person reincarnation mission for these newcomers, and he remained optimistic about these specific reincarnators.

Looking back at the confused newcomers, they were all deep in thought over Orochimaru's analysis. The only female ninja, Pakura, had a different opinion. She spoke up:

"With two Kage-level combatants and three elite jonin, I think we could attack the Kage of any village and escape unscathed. Perhaps we should consider killing the target directly; after all, it is the most straightforward method."

Yet, no one else in the room echoed her sentiment, including the Raikage, whom she thought would be the most likely to agree. In truth, how could anyone who had reached the level of a village Kage be truly brainless?

"The mission doesn't specify a time limit, but it's clear that if Doflamingo's plan to usurp the country succeeds, we will definitely fail. I believe we should gather information before deciding on the next step," the Raikage said, trying to seize the initiative without being too obvious.

After some discussion, the group decided to split into two teams: the Raikage, Pakura, and Kitsuchi would go to investigate the situation of the original royal family of Dressrosa, while Orochimaru and Hoshigaki Kisame would form the other team to gather intelligence on the Donquixote Family. They would then regroup to exchange information and formulate the next plan of action.

Just as the discussion concluded and the teams were divided, the mission countdown reached its end. The protective barrier outside the house gradually faded until it vanished entirely... A brand-new world unveiled its mysterious veil to the people of the Ninja World. The reincarnation mission had officially begun!
