"Defeat the toad?"
Ye Liang looked at the Giant Toad Monster standing a meter tall across from him and shivered in fear. True, he was tall himself, but the monster was huge! Facing this plump creature weighing nearly 300 pounds, Ye Liang immediately felt cold feet.
"Go to hell! If you're so eager, you do it yourself. I'm definitely not sticking around!" He immediately turned to flee, completely disregarding the task reward.
"Please complete the task immediately, Master. Your System is rooting for you!"
"Root for me? If you're so capable, why don't you take over?" Ye Liang waved her off.
Behind him, the toad started chasing furiously. It seemed to have targeted Ye Liang specifically, showing no sign of giving up. Ye Liang was stunned—he even suspected this toad was female, otherwise it wouldn't be this aggressive.
Finding a fork in the passage, Ye Liang quickly turned into it.
Suddenly!
He bumped into a shadowed figure inside.
"Shh! Don't move."
The figure immediately covered Ye Liang's mouth.
Ye Liang stiffened, but thinking about the monster toad behind him, he stayed still.
"Ribbit! Ribbit!"
The croaking sound gradually moved away.
Ye Liang tried to make out the figure's face, but it was too dark to see clearly. He reached out his hand instinctively toward the person's chest—soft and round. Definitely a woman!
"You pervert! What are you doing!" Feeling the sudden grope, the woman raised her arm and slapped Ye Liang across the face.
Ye Liang stood frozen.
"What the hell did I just do?!"
Upon feeling the warmth of her body, his hand had moved there instinctively, as if he'd done this countless times before!
"When did I develop such a habit? I'm still a virgin!"
Ye Liang was confused.
Angry, the woman stood up. Now Ye Liang could finally see her clearly—it was a girl wearing a brown Forehead Protector. She looked somewhat innocent, even cute.
"Wait, I really didn't mean to! I'm not like this normally!"
"You pervert! You just met me and stuck your hand down my shirt, and you still say you're not like that?!"
"I..."
Ye Liang didn't know what else to say.
He really was a man of integrity.
Seeing the girl storm off in anger, Ye Liang hurriedly followed. In this situation, being alone in the pitch-black tunnel would literally scare him to death.
"Why are you still following me?!"
"I'm truly sorry. I'm completely lost. Please, you've got to help me!"
Ye Liang kept walking right behind her, not letting go no matter what.
After walking a bit longer, the girl finally lost her patience. She turned around to yell at Ye Liang, but the moment she turned, she suddenly gasped in horror and pushed Ye Liang down onto the ground!
"Boom!"
A massive dark shadow flew over Ye Liang's head!
A Toad Monster!
Ye Liang stared in horror at the flying toad.
"The argument we had earlier must have drawn it here!"
"You go ahead. I'll hold it off."
He quickly pulled the girl behind him, a sudden surge of courage rising in his chest. Clenching his fist toward the toad, he tried to look intimidating—but his trembling legs betrayed his fear.
"Are you sure you can handle this?!" The girl looked at his shaking knees, clearly skeptical.
"Real men don't say no!"
Ye Liang gritted his teeth.
Just as he said that,
A giant toad monster charged straight toward him, leaping low with warts on its head glowing green—the natural poison of the toad. It clearly intended to poison Ye Liang!
Ye Liang shut his eyes tight in fear!
Suddenly!
He felt a wave of heat near his ear. The expected pain never came; instead, he heard a painful, terrifying roar. As Ye Liang regained his senses, he saw the giant toad monster engulfed in flames!
[Ninjutsu – Flowing Fire Technique!]
The girl still held the hand seal position.
"You actually know ninjutsu!"
Ye Liang immediately recognized it. He was a huge fan of Naruto, and even died mid-game while playing a Naruto title. How could such a person not recognize the techniques of the Naruto world?
"Y-y-you're a ninja!"
"So what if I am? There are plenty of ninjas in this world," the girl replied casually, walking over to the charred toad. She pulled out a scalpel from her pocket and began dissecting it.
At that moment,
Ye Liang's system suddenly came to life.
"Congratulations, Master! You have completed the SSS-rank Mission – Giant Toad. [Reward] Merman Jutsu."
"That's it?"
Seeing the girl dissecting the toad, Ye Liang quickly took the chance to ask, "System! What the heck is going on? Why is there ninjutsu here?"
"This is the Naruto world, of course there will be ninjutsu," the system voice responded again.
"The Naruto world!"
Ye Liang was stunned, "You mean this is the world with Hinata and Tsunade? The Naruto world?"
"Yes, Master!"
Hell yeah!
Ye Liang felt thrilled.
He never expected that dying mid-game would land him reincarnated into the Naruto world. This was literally a dream come true.
"Please control your excitement, Master. Without effort, you might really die in this world."
"Die? What do you mean by that?"
"Report, Master: There seems to be an issue with the System Space. Massive amounts of energy are being drained away by external forces. This situation strongly suggests an invasion by another system. Please stay cautious, Master."
"Another system invading?"
Ye Liang was puzzled, "Are you saying there's another transmigrated person in this world?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!
Furthermore, Master might have already encountered him before. I suspect that Master has lost part of his memories. As your exclusive system, I was once reformatted!"
"What! How is that even possible!"
Ye Liang exclaimed in shock.
He had finally reincarnated into the Naruto world—only to find his system reformatted and his memories possibly wiped. This was the worst starting point ever.
He could be targeted again by this unknown foe at any moment.
"No way! I must strengthen my power immediately!" He made up his mind.
"Miss! Could you please tell me where we are? I'm really lost."
Figuring out where he'd reincarnated would finally stop him from wandering around cluelessly.
"Seriously? You're really lost?"
The girl eyed him suspiciously.
Maybe because Ye Liang had saved her earlier, she finally opened up, "My name is Amal. I'm a citizen of the Land of Sky. This place is the ruins of the Sky Ninja Village, located underground in the Land of Sky!"
"The Land of Sky?"
Ye Liang blinked in confusion.
He wouldn't have thought of this place at all if someone hadn't reminded him.
This is the plot from "Bondage Movie: The Hidden Sand Village."
It's the story of a nation wiped out by Konoha, now trying to make a comeback.
The girl is named Amal. She shares the same name as the female lead in the movie, but they look completely different, so they can't be the same person.
"Hmm, if you insist on going out, I'll have to ask my father for help. I've lived here since childhood, and I've never gone outside either."
"Then thank you."
Ye Liang clasped his hands in a bow toward Amal.
"Hmm."
After dealing with the toad corpse, the two stepped further into the dark corridor. Mutant creatures were everywhere—infected by something meant to create the Zero-Tails!
