All of these voices echoed inside Raion's mind.

Next, the system began explaining each element of this personal data in detail.
Ninja Level: Your current level is the lowest — "Academy Student." Above this are Genin, Chunin, and Jonin, each divided into three stages: basic, intermediate, and advanced. Beyond Jonin (high-level), there is the Kage level, and even levels beyond Kage. Your ninja level will increase as your overall strength grows.
Bloodline Limit and Jinchūriki Power: These can be unlocked by drawing cards using this world's currency, known as Berries. They become available when the host reaches Chunin (intermediate) level.
Ninjutsu: Ninjutsu can also be obtained by drawing cards through Berries.
A special note: Most ninjutsu techniques are divided into six ranks — S, A, B, C, D, and E. The higher the rank, the more Berries are needed to obtain them. Once you have saved enough Berries, you can draw for ninjutsu cards at any time, and the skill will be learned instantly upon acquiring the card.
For each draw, you will receive one random selection out of three available cards.
The cost for each draw is as follows:
E-rank ninjutsu: 10,000 Berries per draw.
D-rank ninjutsu: 100,000 Berries per draw.
C-rank ninjutsu: 1 million Berries per draw.
B-rank ninjutsu: 10 million Berries per draw.
A-rank ninjutsu: 100 million Berries per draw.
S-rank ninjutsu: 1 billion Berries per draw.
The rank of a ninjutsu does not necessarily represent its destructive power, but rather its difficulty to learn. This is why higher-ranked techniques are much more expensive.
Summoning Beast: Once you reach a certain level (as determined by the system), the "Summoning Beast Hunting Mode" will unlock, allowing you to contract and summon your own beast.
Sage Mode: This ability will automatically activate when you reach the advanced Jonin level, enabling access to training in Sage arts.
After reading this series of explanations, Raion finally understood: this was a system that allowed him to grow stronger — but only through money.
However, it was precisely because of this system that Raion's despair began to fade. He had just been planning his own death, but now he felt a flicker of hope. If he could grow stronger through this system, then perhaps he had a chance to rise above this miserable life.
He carefully reread the details of his personal information. Ninjutsu could be drawn with Berries, and Bloodline Limits or Jinchūriki abilities would unlock once he reached Chunin level.
Raion, being a hardcore fan of both One Piece and Naruto in his previous life, was already familiar with all of this.
When it came to Sage Mode, he recalled that there were three sacred places to learn it — Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest. After mastering Sage Mode, one could access Senjutsu Chakra, which could multiply their strength many times over — even dozens of times! Not only would ninjutsu and taijutsu power skyrocket, but the body's resilience and pain tolerance would greatly increase as well.
But those were long-term goals.
What kind of Bloodline Limit or Jinchūriki power would he unlock? Which of the three sacred places would become his Sage training ground?
These thoughts filled Raion with excitement and curiosity.
Just as he was immersed in these ideas, the system's voice returned.
"The Naruto Shop is now open. The following items are available for purchase:"
Sword of the Thunder God: 60 million Berries.
Explosive Tags: 80,000 Berries.
Blank Scroll (to seal ninjutsu or corpses): 10,000 Berries.
Ninja Blade: 8,000 Berries.
Ninja Forehead Protector: 500 Berries.
Cross Shuriken: 10 Berries.
Kunai: 10 Berries.
Note: The Naruto Shop updates its inventory periodically. Items can be purchased anytime.
Looking at these items, Raion's memories of Naruto came flooding back.
The Sword of the Thunder God was said to have belonged to Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage of Konoha. It was a blade infused with limitless lightning power, deadly when combined with the "Flying Thunder God" technique.
Later, this legendary sword was stolen by Morino Idaten and eventually gifted to Kusanagi Kusunoki. In the original Naruto series, the sword was broken by Sasuke Uchiha's "Chidori" and later finished off by Naruto Uzumaki's "Rasengan."
But this did not mean the sword itself was weak — rather, Kusanagi was simply outmatched. In the hands of someone like Tobirama, the Sword of the Thunder God could unleash terrifying power.
Because of its reduced status, the shop listed it at only 60 million Berries.
Then there were the Explosive Tags, whose power was equivalent to a bomb — easily as strong as a mid-level Fire Release ninjutsu from a Jonin. They could be combined with kunai or shuriken or used to create deadly traps.
Raion's emotions were indescribable at this point — excitement, confusion, and a fiery sense of determination.
With this system, he felt as if he could someday stand at the very top of the world, looking down on all its strongest forces: the Pirate King, the Three Admirals, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Three Sweet Commanders, the Three Calamities…
As he imagined this future, the system chimed again.
"As this is your first time activating the system, you are granted one free ninjutsu draw."
Raion's eyes lit up. He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. "Alright then, let's start the draw!"
The next line almost made Raion want to smash his head against the wall.
System: "Drawing ninjutsu requires a payment of 1 million Berries."
"What?! Are you kidding me? I don't even have 100 Berries, let alone 1 million!"
Raion groaned. "For a first-time user, shouldn't there be a free draw? Even online games give out beginner gift packs! What kind of scam system is this?"
Unexpectedly, the system responded in a deadpan voice: "How much money do you currently have?"
Raion checked his pocket. "Uh… 10 Berries."
System: "Alright then, I'll allow you one draw for 10 Berries. Who says I'm not generous?"
Raion nearly fell over. Wasn't it 1 million just now? Even with a discount, 10 Berries is absurd! This system really had a sense of humor.
But no matter what, Raion knew he had no choice. Right now, what he needed most was power — and if 10 Berries could get him even the smallest ninjutsu, it was worth it.
He pulled a crumpled 10-Berry note from his pocket. As soon as he held it out, it vanished from his hand.
Suddenly, three glowing cards appeared before him on the cabin floor. Each card's back bore the kanji for "Nin" (忍), and all three radiated a dazzling golden light, illuminating the dark room.
System: "Since this is your first ninjutsu draw, the system is offering a special discount. These cards may contain techniques ranging from E-rank to S-rank. Please choose one…"
Raion's heart raced as he reached out toward one of the cards…
