All these voices echoed inside Kurosawa Raion's head.

Then came a series of detailed instructions from the system about Raion's personal stats.
Ninja Rank:Currently at the lowest rank — Academy Student.Ranks progress upward through:
Genin (Novice)
Chūnin (Intermediate)
Jōnin (Elite)Each of these is divided into three sub-stages: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.Above Jōnin is the Kage level, with even higher tiers beyond that.Raion's ninja rank will increase as his strength grows.
Bloodline Limits & Jinchūriki:These can be acquired by drawing cards, which requires Beli, the currency of this world.Bloodlines and Tailed Beasts unlock when Raion reaches intermediate Chūnin.
Ninjutsu:These can also be obtained by spending Beli to draw cards.Each draw gives you three random options, and you pick one.Ninjutsu is divided into ranks:
E-rank → 10,000 Beli
D-rank → 100,000 Beli
C-rank → 1,000,000 Beli
B-rank → 10,000,000 Beli
A-rank → 100,000,000 Beli
S-rank → 1,000,000,000 Beli
Note: Ninjutsu rank reflects the difficulty of learning, not necessarily raw power.
Summon Beasts:When Raion reaches a certain level, he can enter "Beast Hunt Mode" to obtain his own summon creature.
Sage Mode:Automatically unlocks at intermediate Jōnin level.Raion will then be able to enter the Sage Realm for training.
After reading the entire explanation, Raion quickly grasped the situation:
"So this is a system where power comes with money."
But strangely, instead of discouraging him, it reignited his will to live.
A moment ago, he'd felt hopeless and ready to give up. But now, as he stared at the glowing screen inside his mind, his eyes were sharp with determination.
He understood everything clearly: with Beli, he could draw for Ninjutsu, buy bloodline limits, and even become a Jinchūriki. Everything depended on how strong he became.
Raion had been a huge Naruto and One Piece fan in his past life. So he was incredibly familiar with all this.
He thought about Sage Mode training — the legendary places like Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest.With Sage Mode, he'd gain access to nature energy, drastically multiplying the power of his jutsu and taijutsu.Even injuries would hurt less, and healing would accelerate.
"But that's all in the future," Raion reminded himself."First, I need to level up."
What bloodline would he get? Which Tailed Beast? Where would he train his Sage Mode?
The possibilities were overwhelming — and thrilling.
Just then, another prompt sounded in his mind:
"Naruto Shop is now open. The following items are available for purchase:"
Thunder God Sword – 60,000,000 Beli
Exploding Talisman – 80,000 Beli each
Sealing Scroll (for corpses/tools) – 10,000 Beli
Basic Ninja Blade – 8,000 Beli
Forehead Protector – 500 Beli
Cross Shuriken – 10 Beli each
Kunai – 10 Beli each
"The shop updates regularly. Items can be purchased at any time."
Raion's heart surged with excitement again.
"Thunder God Sword…"
He remembered it vividly from the Naruto lore — the blade once wielded by Tobirama Senju, Second Hokage of the Hidden Leaf. It channeled immense lightning chakra and worked perfectly with Flying Thunder God teleportation.
Though later stolen and misused, the sword's potential was massive — in the hands of a true master, it could devastate entire armies.
Raion then glanced at the Exploding Talisman. As powerful as a jōnin-level fire jutsu, it could be thrown, embedded, or used for traps.
All these tools… were now within his grasp.
He sat silently in the dark cell, overwhelmed by emotion — excitement, anxiety, hope — and an almost absurd giddiness.
He could now see it clearly:
"The Pirate King, the Three Admirals, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, the Warlords, the Calamities..."
"Someday, I'll surpass them all."
Just as he was getting lost in his thoughts, the system gave one more notification:
"Welcome bonus: One free Ninjutsu card draw."
Raion's eyes lit up. He clenched his fists with excitement.
"Finally! Alright, system — let's spin the wheel!"
But then...
System: Drawing costs 1,000,000 Beli.
Raion nearly flipped.
"What the hell?! I thought this was a welcome gift! That's a scam!"
"I don't even have 100 Beli, and you want a million?!"
"Can't you just give me one free draw for being a first-time user?"
In most games, there's a starter pack — a beginner bonus. But this system?
Cold as stone.
Then came an unexpected reply:
System: "How much money do you have?"
Raion blinked.
"Uh... 10 Beli."
System: "Alright, I'll be generous. I'll let you draw once for 10 Beli. That's just the kind of benevolent system I am."
Raion was stunned.
"Wait, really? From 1 million to 10? This system's got jokes…"
But he wasn't about to complain. At this stage, 10 Beli was all he had.
He pulled out a wrinkled note from his pocket, and the second it touched the air, it vanished.
Before him, three golden cards appeared on the floor, glowing brightly and illuminating the dark cabin.
Each card had the kanji for 忍 (Nin) — the symbol of Ninjutsu — glowing on the back.
System: "Because this is your first draw, these cards range from E-rank to S-rank. Please choose one."
Raion's heart pounded in his chest.His hand slowly extended toward the cards, trembling with anticipation...
