Chapter 2: Krypton Gold System.
At night, the orphanage was silent.
The children in the dormitory, however, were chatting animatedly.
Having emerged from the war, they had been lost and lost.
Until today, they finally saw a glimmer of hope for the future.
A dozen or so children gathered together, chattering.
"The Leaf Village is so good to us. Not only do they provide us with food and drink, but they also teach us how to earn a living."
"That's right! I've never eaten as well as I have in my life."
"I must work hard to learn a skill, make a lot of money, and never go hungry again!"
Under the light, each child's face was filled with longing for the future.
Mo Yu lay on his hard single bed, feeling emotional.
Children in this world are truly precocious. Back on Earth, at the age of ten, they would probably still be playing coquettishly in their parents' arms.
But here, they're already thinking about working hard to support their families.
At this moment, an older child said to a younger child. "By the way, why did you give up going to the Ninja School during the day? I'm too old to go. Why did you?"
The child who had given up on the Ninja School during the day had tears in his eyes and said, "My parents were killed by ninjas."
The other children were silent, some looking sad, some indignant.
Their orphans were also closely linked to the ninjas.
After all, from the outside, it seemed that the war was started by the ninjas.
The older boy apologized and asked another child, "What about you?"
This child seemed smart and was one of the three who had given up on the Ninja School during the day.
He said proudly, "I'm not stupid. Why would I become a ninja and die in a war? My goal is to make a fortune and become a tycoon. Then I can hire powerful ninjas to protect me. Wouldn't that be great?"
The other children nodded subconsciously, agreeing that what he said made sense.
"If only there weren't ninjas, there wouldn't be wars in this world."
"That's right, it's all the ninjas' fault."
"Look at those three people. If they become ninjas, they'll definitely kill a lot of people. They'll all be executioners."
Suddenly, Mo Yu felt many eyes fixed on him.
Some were hostile, some were contemptuous, and some were angry...
"Enough!"
Ichiraku roared and stood up, startling the other children.
"Who's taking you in now? It's Konoha Village, the ninjas!"
With that, Ichiraku, unwilling to stay with them, walked towards Mo Yu.
All the children fell silent, their hearts conflicted.
It was the ninjas who had made them homeless, but it was also the ninjas who had taken them in and fed them.
For a moment, the children didn't know whether to hate or be grateful.
Yile walked over to Mo Yu and soothed him, "Xiaoyu, don't listen to their nonsense."
Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged as he said, "It's okay. They're right. The original purpose of ninjas was assassination and mission execution."
"This..."
Yile faltered, saying, "I don't understand those grand principles. Anyway, you're my friend, and you'll still be my friend when you become a ninja."
Mo Yu, moved, remained silent and patted Yile's shoulder. What those children said was not wrong. The First Shinobi World War was indeed caused by ninjas, and most of their families were killed by ninjas.
But... without ninjas, would there be no war? Not at all.
Ninjas have only a history of about a thousand years. Before ninjas, there was the era of samurai and the era of onmyojis, and wars have occurred in every era.
War, simply put, is the struggle for resources.
War has accompanied the development of human civilization and has never disappeared.
The child just now said that his parents were killed by ninjas, so he didn't want to be a ninja. That was naive and ridiculous.
If it were Mo Yu, he would choose to become a ninja because that was the only way to get revenge!
Another child said, "If you become a millionaire, you can hire ninjas."
He was smarter than the previous one, but still very naive.
External forces are always external forces; only your own strength is the most reliable.
Even if you truly become a wealthy and influential person, and everyone respects you, if you encounter a group of vicious ninjas, will they give you face and not rob you? Will the bodyguards you hire fight for you?
The merchant named Cardo in the original novel is the best example.
So, far from shaking Mo Yu's resolve, these children's conversations made him even more determined to become a ninja.
In this crazy world, if you can't wield powerful strength, you might as well die.
He didn't want to live a mediocre life like his previous life.
...
"Beep! Host's mental fluctuations detected, the Krypton Gold System activated!"
A voice suddenly echoed in Mo Yu's head, startling him.
However, as a seasoned bookworm who had read millions of novels, he didn't immediately start shouting and yelling. Instead, he calmly analyzed the situation. Not even Ichiraku, who was standing beside him, noticed anything unusual on his face.
Mo Yu thought to himself,
"Who are you? The Krypton Gold System?"
The voice reappeared:
'Yes, host. This system is called the Krypton Gold System."
After a routine conversation, Mo Yu had a general understanding of the Krypton Gold System that had inexplicably appeared in his head.
Simply put, it was because of this Krypton Gold System that he had traveled to the Naruto world.
As for the Krypton Gold System's origins, that was unclear.
According to the Krypton Gold System, he had awakened it because of his unwavering determination to become a ninja; otherwise, it would have remained dormant within him.
Mo Yu was grateful that he had made the right choice.
Otherwise, if one carries the system without realizing it and continues to live an ordinary life, what's the difference between that and begging for gold?
"So what are your abilities?"
This is what Mo Yu is most concerned about.
The system said, "As the name suggests, as long as you have money, anything in the world can be purchased through this system."
Mo Yu was overjoyed. It was indeed my system, it was awesome.
"Then can I directly exchange my abilities and raise myself to the level of a jonin, no, a kage?"
"Yes."
"Can I exchange them for S-rank ninjutsu?"
"Yes."
"Can I exchange them for Kekkei Genkai like the Sharingan, the Rinnegan, and Wood Release?"
"Yes."
Mo Yu was overjoyed and said,
"Then first raise my abilities to the level of a kage, then exchange them for a sage body, a pair of Rinnegan, and finally, directly exchange them for the Ten-Tails and seal it within me."
Mo Yu thought gleefully, with just these few abilities, he would be able to sweep the ninja world and reach the pinnacle of his life in no time!
