Naruto: I Am Crazy with the Simulation System!

〖Day Twenty-Four〗

The Land of Waves was relatively small. Aside from its fishing industry and natural deep-water ports, it lacked significant natural resources. Its tourism industry wasn't nearly as developed as that of the Land of Hot Water.

Fortunately, its underdevelopment also meant there were no major shinobi factions entrenched here—let alone any cults of false gods spouting nonsense.

So, after noticing that nearly all the local pharmacies were monopolized by Gato Company, you directly rented a stall and began selling medicinal herbs imported from the Land of Fire.

Thanks to your low pricing, you quickly attracted a good amount of local attention, even though your cloaked and masked appearance was a bit intimidating. Still, in this damp and monopolized land, where a common illness could bankrupt a family, people came in droves to buy your wares.

But your success didn't go unnoticed.

It wasn't long before a patrol team caught wind of your stall.

Soon after, a group of thugs and wandering ronin came over to smash up your stand. The crowd waiting in line scattered in panic.

With a wave of your hand, a surge of immense chakra burst forth, slamming the troublemakers to the ground before they could react.

They fled in terror, and within half a day, representatives from Gato Company appeared. Even though you now set a much higher price, they agreed without hesitation and bought out your entire stock in one go.

You made a decent profit while subtly showcasing your strength. After that, you packed up and settled into a room in town, quietly waiting for Gato to make his move.

...

〖Day Twenty-Five〗

You sent out several shadow clones capable of using Transparent Escape and Lava Release to gather intelligence throughout towns and villages.

Meanwhile, your main body stayed behind, taking out two drops of faintly glowing purple blood to analyze—these were high-purity blood samples extracted from Uchiha Itachi and his father.

Your Mangekyō Sharingan had recently recharged, and your vision was fully restored—perfect timing to dive into research.

In Itachi's bloodline sample, you discovered a dark blotch. You instinctively felt this wasn't anything good. It was likely the manifestation of the bloodline disease hidden within Uchiha Itachi's genes.

You compared it with Uchiha Fugaku's blood sample and found a similar dark blotch there too, though it was smaller and lighter in color.

You attempted to extract it using your Mangekyō techniques.

Sure enough, after nearly two and a half hours of work, you successfully separated the dark blotch from the blood. You immediately sealed it away inside a specially crafted sealing vial.

After extraction, the bloodline became noticeably purer and more crystalline, intensifying your desire to absorb it.

But you held back.

You spent another hour repeating the process on Fugaku's bloodline, refining it a second time and sealing the extracted dark blotch.

You suspected these blotches, indicators of the bloodline disease, might become potent weapons in your hands in the future.

Afterward, you sensed your own blood and discovered two incredibly tiny dark spots—likely remnants from when you absorbed Uchiha Itachi and Gekko Hayate.

However, thanks to your integration with the Uzumaki bloodline and your overwhelming power, the disease had never manifested.

...

〖Day Twenty-Six〗

You noticed a lack of purity in your own bloodline. It seemed the [Loot System]'s purification only removed mutual conflicts and low-value traits from absorbed ninja bloodlines—but it didn't enhance the overall purity of your own.

You decided that once matters here were settled, you'd spend time thoroughly cleansing and streamlining your bloodline. With luck, your strength might reach even greater heights.

Your shadow clones returned and delivered their intelligence:

You learned that Gato held a second identity—he was the Minister of Finance for the Land of Waves!

Though he usually stayed out of the public eye, serving under the local daimyo, he was close to seizing total control of the country's leadership.

He already commanded nearly half the national military, and with the rogue ninja he had taken under his wing, he was close to dominating the entire country.

It seemed Gato's dream of becoming the world's richest man wasn't far off.

Additionally, you discovered that Zabuza and Haku were now working for Gato.

While your clone was in stealth mode, it overheard Gato assigning them a mission—and the target was you.

A suspicious masked merchant selling cheap medicinal herbs.

Your public undercutting of Gato's monopolized pricing had clearly slapped him in the face.

Unfortunately for Gato, Zabuza and Haku had been dispatched that day to assassinate a transport company boss and hadn't yet returned.

As for the group of thugs you defeated, several were actually Chūnin-level rogue ninja.

Having seen how easily you crushed them, Gato judged that he couldn't subdue you—so he chose the lesser evil and bought your entire supply of herbs at a premium.

But now he intended to send Zabuza to eliminate you—either to recruit you, or to kill you.

This group walking straight into your trap delivered a piece of good news...

...

Elsewhere, the shadow clones you sent to nearby towns brought back even more encouraging intelligence:

The bridge expert Tazuna and his family were living a peaceful and happy life. They were even discussing the old, deteriorating dam in the area.

This looked like the perfect opportunity to take control of the site—and maybe even solidify your organization's presence in the Land of Waves.

...

〖Day Twenty-Seven〗

Zabuza chose to sneak into your room at night, hoping to take you down.

But he triggered one of the traps you'd set, getting caught in a barrier. He swung his Executioner's Blade furiously, trying to break free.

The barrier shattered under the onslaught, but you were already waiting.

You immediately sealed his chakra and disarmed him, then stayed on standby.

Not long after, the crossdressing Haku sensed something was wrong and rushed into the room—only to find Zabuza tied up like a twisted rope and stuffed in the corner, silently jerking his head toward the door, signaling for escape.

Just as Haku moved to cut the ropes, you appeared from behind and knocked him out cold.

You sealed his chakra as well and placed him next to Zabuza.

Then, with your shadow clone, you locked both of them in the soundproofed room next door.

Unlike other rogue ninja, you didn't plan to dispose of or recycle these two.

You had other uses in mind:

Zabuza, a seasoned Jōnin skilled in Water Release, and Haku, a natural-born Ice Release Kekkei Genkai user—perfect for assisting in transporting goods to the Land of Hot Water.

They also made excellent reference samples for synthesizing new Kekkei Genkai.

Most importantly, neither of them seemed the scheming type.

Now, your only headache was how to make Gato completely loyal to you—while still retaining his business acumen.

Obviously, lofty promises wouldn't sway a man so seasoned in commerce.

Ordinary Genjutsu would dull his edge and require constant maintenance.

As for Kotoamatsukami… it would be a bit of a waste, but at this point, it seemed to be your only option.

Hopefully, the wealth Gato possessed could make up for the cost.
