There should be icons at the edges of our vision.
Hearing Ren Amaki's reminder, the other three indeed saw an icon in the corner of their vision that seemed to emphasize its own presence, and they wore expressions of sudden realization.
Try focusing your consciousness on that icon.
Ding-dong--
A crisp sound rang out, and then the icon within the field of view suddenly expanded like a computer browser, projecting itself into their eyes.
Whoa--
Naofumi Iwatani
Class: Shield Hero LV1
Equipment: Small Shield (Legendary Weapon), Otherworld Clothing
Skills: None
Magic: None
Naofumi Iwatani let out a cry of shock, looking at the information displayed on the panel. It felt extremely like the character settings in an RPG online game, and a simple glance revealed many other items that he temporarily omitted.
LV1... This really makes one feel uneasy!
Yeah, at this rate I don't even know if we can fight.
Itsuki Kawasumi and Motoyasu Kitamura spoke with worry-laden expressions, conversing with each other.
Ye Uchiha
Class: Chaldea Master LV1
Equipment: Otherworld Sengoku Armor
Skills: None
Magic: None
Ye Uchiha looked at his panel in deep thought.
Chaldea Master?
It seemed to be a popular pay-to-win mobile game from his past life on Earth, and he had played it for a period of time as well, but after transmigrating into the Naruto World, these memories were deeply buried in his heart.
He had transmigrated to the Warring States period of the Naruto World, becoming the younger cousin of Madara Uchiha, awakened the sharingan—the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha Clan—and began killing to survive, slaughtering until the world fearfully called him the God of Slaughter who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the God of Slaughter's rival, the God of Slaughter Madara Uchiha.
It wasn't until the founding of Konoha Shinobi Village that he welcomed a brief peace, intending to retire right then and there, become a leisurely and carefree free-spirit, and strive to live until the births of Sasuke and Naruto. Alas, human calculations cannot rival heaven's; before he could be happy for long, he was inexplicably dragged into the duel between Madara and Hashirama at the Valley of the End...
Hashirama!!!
Madara!!!
You two bastards!
Ye Uchiha gnashed his teeth as he silently chanted the names of the two men. If you wanted to fight, then fight, damn it, why did you have to drag me into it too?
He had thought he was dead, but unexpectedy transmigrated once more. He just didn't know what this world was like; judging by the worldview background, it should be something like heroes fighting the Demon King.
He silently glanced at the four heroes who had transmigrated with him. The so-called protagonists should be among these four, right?
The blond ponytail lancer?
His words and actions were frivolous, his movements somewhat punch-clock annoying, and besides, lancers always had a hard time since ancient times, didn't they?
The delicate-looking swordsman?
It seemed to be him. Protagonists in ordinary novels, anime, and games all liked to wield swords, and judging by his appearance and temperament, he also fit the character setting of a protagonist.
The baby-faced, tender archer?
He couldn't see any advantages; he should be set up as a mascot, perhaps a younger-brother type of character.
And finally... the shield-bearer? Hm, never mind. Looking at this guy's appearance and demeanor, he was destined to become a villainous scoundrel. This kind of person could absolutely not be the protagonist.
As for the protagonist, they always had unusual, standout performances, were bound to be blessed with great fortune, and would survive disasters. If possible, he might as well make connections with them; it would still be beneficial to him.
Just like the future Naruto Uzumaki and his junior Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto always thought about using Talk-No-Jutsu to beg for his enemies' forgiveness, filling the world with love and peace~
Sasuke ran around all over the world, seeking revenge for the Uchiha clan's annihilation. Looking across the entire Naruto World, the plot was basically centered around the two of them.
As children of prophecy, favored by the will of the world, no matter how much they courted death they wouldn't die. According to their future fateful trajectories, the two of them awakened the Yin-Yang Release before they were twenty years old, and then teamed up to beat Six Paths Madara in a group fight, sealing away the true matriarch of the Shinobi World-Kaguya Otsutsuki, thereby maintaining peace in the Shinobi World.
Now let's look at himself: called a peerless genius by the Uchiha Clan who could compare to Madara Uchiha, he only stepped into the ranks of Kage Level powerhouses at eighteen or nineteen, and relied on his evolved Mangekyō Sharingan to achieve the crushing of Kage Level foes.
Yet compared to his clan elder Madara Uchiha and the God of Shinobi Hashirama, he fell short by more than just a little bit.
And if he truly compared himself against those two monsters, Naruto and Sasuke, he couldn't even be considered a genius. Struggling through the Warring States period, he was even worse off than two Konoha Genin from an era of peace.
Fighting tooth and nail in the Shinobi World, he wasn't as well-off as Indra and Asura having a father like the Sage of Six Paths and a powerful reincarnated identity.
Sigh, comparison kills a person; there is no harm without comparison!
Ye Uchiha thought this, his thoughts wandering between Ren Amaki, Motoyasu Kitamura, and Itsuki Kawasumi.
As for Naofumi Iwatani, the Shield Hero off to the side, he was selectively ignored by Ye Uchiha.
After all, no matter what anime or game it was, protagonists either looked handsome or possessed unique talents. This was an inherent law followed by many Japanese passionate anime series.
The robed man at the side explained: "That magic called 'Status' is an ability that only heroes can use."
"Then what should we do? These numerical values are indeed quite unsettling."
"Well, next, I ask all the heroes to embark on an adventure journey, hone your skills, cultivate the Legendary Weapons you possess, and strengthen them."
Naofumi Iwatani asked doubtfully: "Aren't the weapons we hold in our hands strong right from the start?"
"No, the heroes summoned here seem to be required to train their respective Legendary Weapons and slowly improve their performance."
"Speaking of which, wouldn't it be fine to use other weapons until the Legendary Weapon comes in handy?" Motoyasu Kitamura played with his long spear, struck what he thought was a handsome pose, and spoke to himself.
Ren Amaki said: "Let's discuss this point later. In any case, since we've accepted the commission, we ought to hone ourselves and improve our abilities."
Being summoned to another world with the identity of a hero, given a supreme mission-a passionate plot.
Though it somewhat resembled the plot of a daily-life passionate manga, the drive born of yearning as an otaku also continuously welled up from the depths of his heart's sea.
Naofumi Iwatani thought this with an excited and flushed expression, itching to start his otherworld adventure journey right now.
"Then the five of us will form a party..."
"Please wait, Hero-大人." Before the few of them could start discussing, a minister at the side interrupted Naofumi Iwatani's words.
"The heroes need to recruit companions individually to go on adventures."
This head-and-tail-less remark left the four heroes present at a loss, while Ye Uchiha stood in place closing his eyes to rest his mind, silently waiting for events to unfold.
"Why is that?" Naofumi Iwatani, who had the least patience, immediately asked.
"According to legendary records, Legendary Weapons possess a mutually repellent nature. If weapon wielders act together, it will hinder each other's growth. From now on, it is requested that you all act separately."
"Eh, it really seems to be like this."
[Notice: If those who possess Legendary Weapons join forces to attack, it will trigger a counter-effect. Please try to take action separately as much as possible.]
Noting the content displayed on the prompt bar, the four of them wore astonished expressions of 'there's actually this kind of setting'.
A world styled after a video game made one practically doubt whether they had really mistakenly wandered into some gaming world.
Yet obviously, such a realistic video game could not possibly exist under heaven; after all, no matter how realistic a game was, it could not possibly create such vivid, living NPCs.
"So that means we'd better recruit adventure companions?"
"I shall personally find adventure companions for all the heroes. The hour is late; everyone, please rest well to build up your energy and set off on your adventures tomorrow. Before tomorrow comes, our country will scour the elite qualified to serve as adventure travel companions for the heroes."
"Rooms have already been prepared for the heroes. This way, please." A young court maid of rather good looks walked out, respectfully guiding the party of five to the prepared guest rooms.
