Chapter 3
Normally, Sakyo had been thoroughly "culturally educated" by Naruto. She knew exactly what phrases like "Only kids make choices—adults want them all," "Damn," "Holy crap," and "Lemme take a look~" really meant.
In an instant, Sakyo felt like her whole world had collapsed.
She shoved Naruto away from her body and said coldly, "Get out of my room, you scumbag."
With that, Sakyo turned and left without another word, leaving Naruto alone in the living room.
Naruto let out a small sigh. "Sigh~ I was actually pretty excited about it…"
"Well… whatever. It's not like a normal person could just accept something like that."
Muttering to himself, Naruto left as well.
In truth, most places in the shinobi world were still pretty feudal. It wasn't uncommon for some perverts to have dozens of concubines.
Naruto could never understand why everyone else was allowed to do it, but he wasn't~ Right?
At the same time, the system's three-year waiting period finally came to an end.
"Ding~ Host, scumbags don't deserve happy endings."
"Ding~ System, that's just who I am."
"Ding~ Host, please stop mimicking this system."
"Ding~ System, hurry up and give me something good. Stop dragging your feet."
"Ding~ …"
While bickering with the system, Naruto headed home.
…
Three minutes after Naruto left, Sakyo cautiously peeked out from the back of the house. Seeing the empty room, she huffed coldly, "Not even an explanation? Damn you, Uzumaki Naruto!"
Even as she said that, staring at the empty room, she couldn't help wondering: Was I too harsh?
No, no—I shouldn't have been. A normal person wouldn't be able to accept something like that!
This is a ninja village, not a daimyo's palace.
But… ninja villages are still under the daimyo's jurisdiction~
The situation inside the village was just limited to the village itself. The daimyo's court represented the mainstream of the entire world.
So Naruto's way of thinking was pretty normal, right?
Normal?
No, no, no—we're in a ninja village. That's not normal. Definitely not normal!
He's always grinning like an idiot, telling dirty jokes all the time—you can tell he's a total pervert…
Ugh~ Why did it have to be Naruto of all people? If only his personality swapped with Sakura's…
Sakyo froze in place, her mind locked in fierce internal conflict.
Suddenly, she shook her head.
No, no, no! Definitely not.
If Naruto and Sakura swapped personalities, it would be even worse!
The difference would be that Naruto gets excited around any pretty girl, while Sakura would only lose it over Sakyo herself—and Sakura's case would be way more severe.
…
"Ding~ This host finally gets it."
"Ding~ Host, please stop mimicking this system. Thank you."
"Ding~ I'll do it as much as I want. Hurry up and send me across worlds. Thanks."
"Ding~ Traversing in progress. Host, please stop mimicking this system. Thank you."
All the way home, Naruto kept arguing with the system and finally learned what it was for.
First, it issues missions. Completing them earns rewards.
Second, it has a shop where he can buy anything—as long as it exists in the Naruto world.
Third, the missions might be in this ninja world… or in other ninja worlds.
In other words, to complete certain missions, Naruto would have to use the system to travel to parallel universe versions of the shinobi world!
First mission: In Ninja World #669, Yakushi Nonō and Yakushi Kabuto are about to kill each other. Naruto must save them. Reward for success: Mastery of Wind-Attribute Chakra!
…
Ninja World #669, within the Land of Earth.
It was a dark and windy night—perfect for murder. A chase was underway.
Having been molded by Root, Kabuto possessed a cool head. Even facing an attacking "Iwa ninja," he remained completely calm.
The two reached a riverside and quickly engaged in fierce combat.
As expected of a genius, Kabuto's growth was terrifying. At such a young age, he had already surpassed Yakushi Nonō.
That's right—the "Iwa ninja" was none other than Nonō in disguise!
But Kabuto hadn't realized it because Nonō was wearing a mask.
During the fight, Nonō gradually fell behind and was in danger of being killed by Kabuto at any moment.
Just then, at the critical moment, a figure dropped from the sky, stunning everyone—both in the open and in hiding.
The tide of battle shifted. Unsure if the newcomer was friend or foe, Kabuto pulled back and raised his kunai warily.
As for Nonō, she only knew Kabuto's recent appearance from photos Danzō had swapped out, so she didn't yet recognize the white-haired boy in front of her as Kabuto.
In the shadows, several Root ninjas stared in shock as Naruto gradually revealed himself.
"Who is this guy? Could he be reinforcements from Lord Danzō?"
"No idea. He's not wearing a mask."
"Let's observe for now. If things go south, we kill both Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonō."
The Root members decided to watch Naruto from afar.
But there was another presence lurking in the darkness—a snake!
In those snake-like pupils, Naruto's figure was reflected.
Orochimaru's brow furrowed deeply. "This… Namikaze Minato??"
"No… that's not it. Look at the whisker marks—it's Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Why is he here? And… how did he grow up so fast?"
In the center of the battlefield, Naruto got up, grumbling, and saw one ninja on each side.
Thanks to the system filling him in on the plot, Naruto knew exactly how to ruin Orochimaru and Danzō's schemes~
Danzō's goal was to have both Nonō and Kabuto die!
They knew too much intelligence and were no longer trusted.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, coveted Kabuto's talent and wanted him as a subordinate.
All Naruto had to do now was…
He looked straight at Kabuto and said, "Yakushi Kabuto? How could you attack the dean?"
The young Kabuto froze. Some kid his age had just called him by name—he instantly went on maximum alert.
On the other side, Nonō's trembling hand removed her mask. She stared at Kabuto in shock. "You're… Yakushi Kabuto???"
Originally, Kabuto hadn't fully believed Naruto, but seeing Nonō's face woke him up in an instant.
In that moment, as sharp as he was, he understood Danzō's plot.
But… something about Nonō's tone felt off?
Ignoring Kabuto for now, Naruto turned to Nonō and said, "Yeah, that's Kabuto. All those photos you saw were swapped out by Danzō."
"The real Yakushi Kabuto is standing right in front of you."
Naruto's words shocked everyone present—whether in the open or in hiding.
