After awakening in Konoha as civilian Chiba Tetsuya, a transmigrator discovers his husky-shaped system lets him grow stronger through paid card draws. His first draw gives him Ichiraku Ramen's production techniques, so he decides to open a shop and earn money for more draws.

• Chiba Tetsuya woke in Konoha's refugee camp and realized he had transmigrated into the aftermath of Madara Uchiha's Nine-Tails attack.

• Tetsuya spent another five ryo on a draw and received the complete production techniques for Ichiraku Ramen.
• The system suggested that Tetsuya open a ramen shop while Konoha rebuilt, and he decided to do so to earn money for future draws.

Tetsuya used compensation for battle damage as seed money to open a ramen shop in Konoha, where his food and discounts brought in a crowd on opening day. After realizing the work was straining his hands, he decided to learn the Clone Technique and began extracting chakra that night.

• Tetsuya received five thousand ryo in compensation from a white-haired Konoha ninja on Hashirama Senju's behalf.

Tetsuya’s ramen shop continued to thrive, and he befriended Hatake Sakuya and young Sakumo Hatake. That night, he spent his savings on his first deluxe ten-pull and received several powerful rewards, including an Evil God Immortal Body.

• Tetsuya noticed his stamina and Chakra had improved as he settled into running Chiba Ramen.
• Hatake Sakuya visited with his younger brother, Sakumo Hatake, and Tetsuya chatted with them about his family and newly produced Chakra.

• The ten-pull gave Tetsuya four large amounts of Chakra, a Yellow Weasel Clan Summoning Contract, a Chakra Sealing Method, an Evil God Immortal Body, and a Shadow Clone Training Method.

Chiba Tetsuya discovered that the Evil God Immortal Body made him exceptionally hard to kill but did not grant Hidan’s blood-curse technique. After signing the Yellow Weasel Clan Summoning Contract, he met Huang Bai, who promised to discuss teaching him Senjutsu with the clan’s old master.

• Chiba Tetsuya learned that he needed the Death Controlling Possessed Blood technique to curse others and that his Evil God Immortal Body would keep him looking sixteen.

Tetsuya suspected that Hashirama Senju’s worsening condition could soon trigger another Shinobi World War, while serving ramen to the young Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade. Orochimaru and Jiraiya enjoyed Tetsuya’s new cold noodles, but Tsunade remained troubled by a problem she would not share with her teammates.

• Tetsuya noticed staple food prices rising and worried that a Shinobi World War would begin if Hashirama Senju died.
• Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade visited Tetsuya’s shop and ordered ramen, with Orochimaru choosing experimental cold noodles.
• Jiraiya and Orochimaru asked Tsunade why she seemed distracted, but she refused to explain what was troubling her.
• Tetsuya served the trio, and Orochimaru let Jiraiya taste his cold noodles.
• Jiraiya and Orochimaru liked the refreshing flavor, though Orochimaru found the noodles a little too cold.

After serving Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, Tetsuya reflected on Konoha’s future and then met Huang Bai, who agreed to teach him the Huang Family’s Senjutsu. The chapter ended with Huang Bai explaining the training method as Tetsuya began to grasp it.

• Tetsuya asked Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade about their meal, and Orochimaru praised the new dish while noting that he disliked cold food.
• Orochimaru paid for the meal and left with Jiraiya and Tsunade, while Tetsuya reflected on the coming war and Konoha’s future.
• Tetsuya waited at home with roast chicken for Huang Bai, who arrived and said the clan had approved Tetsuya’s Senjutsu training.
• Tetsuya released the chakra he had sealed within himself, and Huang Bai decided they could begin Senjutsu training immediately.
• Huang Bai explained the Huang Family’s slow but comparatively safe method of sensing and blending with natural energy, and Tetsuya gradually began to understand it.

• Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru visited Tetsuya's ramen shop, where Orochimaru tried Tetsuya's new Flame-Fried Noodles.
• Jiraiya and Tsunade discussed how the village's ninja had been sent on missions, and Jiraiya said he wanted to graduate and become a ninja.
• Tetsuya asked Tsunade about rumors that Hashirama Senju was gravely ill, and Tsunade said her great-uncle and grandmother had prevented her from visiting him.
• Tetsuya worried that Hashirama was dead and war was imminent, then set aside emergency funds and converted the rest of his savings into credits.
• Tetsuya ordered ten pulls from the tier-three prize pool, and the prize wheel began to spin.

Tetsuya received several techniques and chakra from the system, then watched Konoha descend into war after the First Hokage died. As the Second Hokage led Konoha’s forces away, Tetsuya spoke with Orochimaru about life and closed his shop to train until the war ended.

• Tetsuya received Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Dissolving Technique, Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, and several large amounts of chakra.

• Tetsuya saw his shop lose customers during the war and closed it so he could focus on training.

Tetsuya agreed to gain real combat experience by entering the war independently, with Huang Bai helping him reach the battlefield. After disguising himself as a Kumogakure ninja, he activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and charged into a fight between Kirigakure and Iwagakure.

• Huang Bai told Tetsuya that he lacked combat experience and urged him to train on the battlefield, regardless of which side he fought.

• Tetsuya spotted Kirigakure and Iwagakure ninja clashing, then changed his disguise to resemble a Kumogakure ninja.
• Huang Bai promised to watch but not intervene unless Tetsuya faced mortal danger, and Tetsuya activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and charged at the fighters with an elbow strike.

Tetsuya slaughtered rival ninja with Lightning Release Chakra Mode and began broadening his combat skills while traveling with Huang Bai. His attacks prompted Iwagakure and Mist Shadow leaders to suspect that the opposing side had received reinforcements or that a third force had entered the battlefield.

• Tetsuya used elbow strikes to kill the ninja who mistook him for a Cloud Shadow ninja, then escaped survivors and burned off his blood-soaked sleeves.

• Hozuki Gengetsu received reports of the same losses and traces of Fire Release and Lightning Release, and likewise suspected that Iwagakure had called in help.

Tetsuya, fighting across the battlefield with his injury-defying body, followed Huang Bai toward a battle and discovered Tobirama Senju surrounded by Cloud Shinobi. He decided to intervene in disguise, transforming himself into Uchiha Izuna before entering the fight.

• Tetsuya survived fatal wounds while battling enemy shinobi, then stitched an abdominal injury and continued onward with Huang Bai.
• Huang Bai sensed a powerful battle nearby, and he and Tetsuya went to investigate.
• Tetsuya found Tobirama Senju fighting about twenty Cloud Shinobi and recognized that the badly wounded Hokage was fighting to the death.
• Tetsuya asked Huang Bai to disguise his appearance with an illusion and decided to save Tobirama without revealing himself.
• Tetsuya used the Transformation Technique to take on the appearance of Uchiha Izuna.

Tetsuya, disguised as Uchiha Izuna with Huang Bai’s genjutsu, rescued the badly wounded Tobirama Senju from Kinkaku and Ginkaku. Tobirama stood beside the apparent Izuna as the fight resumed.

• Tetsuya showed Huang Bai his transformed face and asked him to help maintain the deception.
• Tobirama Senju fought off Kumogakure ninja with Water Release techniques, but Kinkaku and Ginkaku cornered him.

• Tetsuya appeared as Uchiha Izuna and told Tobirama that he had returned from the Pure Land.
• Tobirama forced himself to stand beside Tetsuya, and the two began countering Kinkaku’s Elemental Storm with fire and water techniques.

Tetsuya and Tobirama fought Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who unleashed the Nine-Tails' Chakra to overpower them. Tetsuya used a clone-and-kunai trick to seal Ginkaku's chakra, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Tobirama and Tetsuya combined their attacks against Kinkaku and Ginkaku, but the brothers relied on their treasured tools to withstand the assault.
• Kinkaku and Ginkaku released the Nine-Tails' Chakra, greatly increasing their power, and Tobirama warned Tetsuya about the danger.
• Tetsuya told Tobirama his plan, and Tobirama readily agreed to follow it.
• Ginkaku overwhelmed Tobirama while Kinkaku's Kōkinjō caught Tetsuya's Shadow Clone, which vanished in a puff of smoke.
• Tobirama threw kunai, and Tetsuya disguised himself as one before appearing beside Ginkaku and using the Chakra Sealing Technique to seal both Ginkaku's Nine-Tails' Chakra and his own chakra.

Tetsuya and Tobirama defeated Kinkaku and Ginkaku, though Tetsuya was repeatedly pierced through the chest and survived. Tetsuya took the Six Paths Treasured Tools, then escaped Tobirama and removed the Flying Thunder God Mark from his arm.

• Ginkaku struck Tetsuya, but Tobirama seized the opening and pierced Ginkaku with Flying Thunder God Slash.
• Kinkaku partially transformed and charged Tobirama, while Huang Bai helped create a momentary distraction that let Tetsuya reach him.
• Tetsuya’s Chakra Sealing Technique failed against Kinkaku’s chakra, but his Eight Trigrams Seal suppressed the Nine-Tails chakra and left Kinkaku unconscious.
• Cloud Shadow ninja fled with Kinkaku and Ginkaku, leaving the Seven Star Sword, Banana Palm Fan, Benihisago, and Kōkinjō for Tetsuya to collect.
• Tetsuya told Tobirama he would meet him again, gave him Soldier Pills, and left to recover from his injuries.
• Tetsuya learned Tobirama had marked his arm with Flying Thunder God and cut away the marked flesh.

Tetsuya escaped with the Six Paths Blades and prepared to return to Konoha, while Tobirama returned to the village and resumed control as the war neared its end. Tetsuya ended the chapter wondering what would happen if he truly brought Uchiha Izuna back to life.

• Tobirama feared that the impostor posing as Uchiha Izuna would attack Konoha if he learned Madara was dead, and vowed to stop him.
• Tetsuya collected the Six Paths Blades, thanked Great Immortal Huang for his training, and set off for Konoha.
• At the Hokage Building, the clan heads challenged Hiruzen Sarutobi’s claim that Tobirama had named him Hokage, until Tobirama returned and silenced the dispute.
• Tobirama confirmed that he had chosen Hiruzen as his successor but judged him unready to take the position yet.
• Konoha learned that Kinkaku and Ginkaku were dead and that the Third Raikage wanted peace talks; Tobirama agreed to negotiate on Konoha’s terms.
• Back in Konoha, Tetsuya rested and wondered what would happen if he truly brought Uchiha Izuna back to life.

Tetsuya spent his latest draw hoping for a Revival Coin, but instead received several ninjutsu and an enhancement. After the First Shinobi World War ended, he reopened his ramen shop and began developing Cup Noodles, while Tobirama Senju wondered what Uchiha Izuna was doing.

• Tetsuya asked the Husky about reviving the dead, learned that a Revival Coin could do so, and spent sixteen thousand eight hundred ryo on a ten-pull.
• Tetsuya drew five ninjutsu, several large chakra boosts, and a Fire Release Ninjutsu Enhancement, but no Revival Coin.

• Tetsuya reopened the Chiba Ramen Shop and left two Shadow Clones working while he researched Cup Noodles.
• Tobirama Senju gazed over Konoha and wondered what Uchiha Izuna was doing.

After the war, Tetsuya reopened the Chiba Ramen Shop and reflected on the losses that had left the village short of customers. Orochimaru and Tsunade sensed a colder, bloodthirsty quality in Tetsuya, but left unsure whether their suspicions were justified.

• Tetsuya reopened the Chiba Ramen Shop and lamented that the war had cost many lives and reduced his business.
• Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru visited the shop, where Orochimaru and Tsunade noticed a subtle change in Tetsuya's demeanor.
• Orochimaru asked Tetsuya whether something was wrong, and Tetsuya explained that he was worried because so many of his ninja customers had died.
• Tetsuya and Tsunade spoke about the sacrifices that had brought peace, while Jiraiya focused on eating his noodles.
• After leaving, Tsunade asked Orochimaru whether Tetsuya seemed suspicious, and Jiraiya suggested bringing Teacher Sarutobi to the shop to assess him.

As business slowed, Tetsuya considered new ways to earn money and hit on the idea of developing Cup Noodles for Ninja missions. After Sakuya returned from border patrol and praised his ramen, Hiruzen Sarutobi visited the shop, leaving Tetsuya wondering whether he had come for more than a meal.

• Tetsuya worried that his falling ramen sales would slow his card draws and considered how else he could make money.
• Sakuya returned from a border patrol mission, ate Tonkotsu Ramen, and described the poor food he had endured while away.
• After Sakuya left, Tetsuya decided to investigate making Cup Noodles for Ninjas on missions.
• Tetsuya researched Cup Noodles in the kitchen while his Shadow Clone handled the shop's customers.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi visited after hearing about Tetsuya's ramen, and Tetsuya wondered whether someone had sent him to investigate.

Tetsuya served Hiruzen Sarutobi and the young Sannin ramen while concealing his wariness as Hiruzen questioned him about his clan and his ability to use chakra. Hiruzen found no sign that Tetsuya was an infiltrator, and Tetsuya said he preferred running his shop to becoming a ninja.

• Tetsuya welcomed Hiruzen Sarutobi to the shop as Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru bickered over ramen.
• Tsunade ordered Assorted Ramen on Jiraiya's tab, and Hiruzen and the others chose their meals.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi found nothing wrong with Tetsuya, the Sannin decided to apologize for suspecting him, while Tetsuya continued planning his future in Konoha. At the Hokage Building, Tobirama Senju praised Hiruzen's plans, entrusted him with the Hokage position, and began sharing a secret as his health worsened.

• After a coughing fit, Tobirama Senju told Hiruzen that he had a secret to share and ordered him not to tell anyone until he left the Hokage position.

Tobirama warned Hiruzen about Uchiha Izuna’s return and urged him not to provoke the Uchiha Clan. Meanwhile, Tetsuya tried to improve his income by drawing a skill and ended up with a method for making cup noodles after losing all his savings.

• Tobirama told Hiruzen that Izuna had appeared during his fight with Kinkaku and Ginkaku, helped him defeat them, and taken the Six Paths Treasured Tools.

• Tetsuya spent all his savings on draws and received a method for making instant cup noodles as a guaranteed reward.
• Tetsuya returned to his shop the next morning and cursed the system for draining his money on useless junk.

Tetsuya showed Sakuya his convenient instant cup noodles, won his approval, and launched Chiba Cup Noodles, which quickly sold out. Jiraiya arrived too late to buy any, while Tsunade and Orochimaru came to the shop for ramen, with Tsunade taking a serving for her great-uncle, Lord Second.

• Tetsuya prepared a cup of instant tonkotsu ramen for Sakuya, who found it tasty and convenient despite its flavor being slightly weaker than fresh ramen.

• The system showed Tetsuya a High Recruitment Pool, saying it had prepared the reward because he wanted to resurrect people.

Tobirama’s life ended after he appointed Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Third Hokage, and Konoha held a funeral to mourn him. Tetsuya left ramen at Tobirama’s grave and learned the System could resurrect him through premium recruitment, though he had no immediate plan to do so.

• Tetsuya complained that a hundred recruitment pulls had earned him only twenty Izuna fragments, then returned to running his ramen shop.
