Chapter 11 - The First Season Begins

The Ninja Mobile Game in the ninja world was structured into seven major tiers for Ranked Matches. Each tier up to "Kage" was divided into three sub-tiers (e.g., Kage I, Kage II, Kage III), while "Super Kage" served as the pinnacle with an uncapped point system.

The Seven Major Tiers:

Apprentice (600 pts)

Genin (900 pts)

Chunin (1200 pts)

Jonin (1500 pts)

Anbu (1800 pts)

Kage (2100 pts)

Super Kage (2400+ pts)

Ryuma had designed the rewards for reaching these tiers to be incredibly enticing.

Promotion Rewards (One-time per Season):

Apprentice: 100 Gold

Genin: 1,000 Gold

Chunin: 2,000 Gold

Jonin: 3,000 Gold

Anbu: 5,000 Gold, 10 Coupons

Kage: 10,000 Gold, 100 Coupons

Super Kage: 20,000 Gold, 200 Coupons

While Gold could be obtained through topping up with real currency, Coupons could only be earned through in-game activities and skill-based achievements.

This was Ryuma's way of ensuring that while "whales" (big spenders) could get a head start, the rarest currency—and the prestige that came with it—was reserved for the truly skilled.

Unlike the version in his previous life, this game was brutal: starting from the Genin rank, losing a match meant losing points. If your points dropped too low, you would be demoted. Your rank was a direct reflection of your combat prowess.

The seasons were set to reset every two months. The very first season—Season 1—officially kicked off the moment the servers went live today.

"So, 'Stay Tuned,' is it?"

In a dim laboratory in the Hidden Sound Village, Orochimaru held his phone, a playful, interested curve to his lips.

He was fascinated by the device; it was indestructible and impossible to dissect, which only fueled his obsession. To Orochimaru, the unknown didn't represent fear—it represented infinite possibility.

After finishing the first chapter of the story, he had gained a basic understanding of this generation's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

He realized the story focused on Naruto not just because of yesterday's PK victory, but because the boy was the nexus of a much deeper fate.

Orochimaru found himself interested in the blond brat, and even more so in Sasuke. He was now hesitating... Should I proceed with the plan to crush the Hidden Leaf as originally scheduled?

A figure walked into the lab. "Lord Orochimaru, the phones have been distributed. Everyone in the Sound Village has logged in."

"Good. Tell them to grind the Ranked Matches. Inform them that the higher their rank, the more power I will grant them."

"Yes!"

"No need to rush. Aside from that, how is your body, Kimimaro?"

"...Thank you for your concern, Lord Orochimaru."

Looking at Kimimaro's pale but determined face, Orochimaru offered a casual smile, though it carried a hint of regret. What a waste of excellent material...

Once Kimimaro left, Orochimaru returned to his phone. Unlike others, he was studying every mechanic. He noted the massive jump in rewards for the end-of-season settlement.

Season Settlement Rewards (Top Tier Examples):

Kage: 100,000 Gold, 1,000 Coupons

Super Kage: 200,000 Gold, 2,000 Coupons

Super Kage (3000 pts): Additional +3,200 Coupons

Even Orochimaru was taken aback by the scale of the rewards, though he didn't yet fully know the buying power of Coupons. But the true prizes were for the Top 100 players on the server:

Top 100: Super Kage Privilege Service

Top 50: Limited Summon: Panda

Top 20: Universal Ninja Shards ×30

Top 10: Random Legendary Ninja Tool: Extremity

3rd Place: Tournament Priority Selection (Seed)

2nd Place: Tournament Priority Choice

1st Place: Tournament Winner's Bracket Direct Entry

Two months from now, the first season would conclude. No one could predict what would happen at that time, but one thing was a consensus across the five great nations:

Season 1, the "Sunlight" Season, has officially begun!!!
