Naruto: I Am The System

Nawaki's message was short and to the point:

If you want to know more, check the central light pillar yourself. That was all the "Lord God" was going to say.

But Orochimaru, always paying close attention to the Lord God's wording, suddenly caught something after the voice disappeared.

"Current Reincarnation Space?" he muttered. "Does that mean… there's more than one?"

Tsunade and Jiraiya both paused, then realized it too.

They had picked up on the hidden implication in the system's language.

"Maybe… just like each mission world we enter, every world has its own corresponding Reincarnation Space," Jiraiya said, following Orochimaru's train of thought. "And this one is tied to our own world—the Shinobi World."

"So if there are multiple Reincarnation Spaces, then there must be even more Reincarnators," Tsunade added. "Is it possible that the Lord God has placed Reincarnators in every world?"

As she spoke, the scope of that thought hit her—and she was stunned.

A being that could oversee countless worlds, select elite individuals from each, and send them into intertwining cycles of reincarnation...

Just what kind of existence is the Lord God, to pull off something so vast?

Their minds kept expanding the possibilities.

Why hadn't the Lord God created one massive, unified space for all Reincarnators, and instead opted for independent spaces for each world?

And with that thought, the current emptiness and lifelessness of their Reincarnation Space finally made sense.

Perhaps they were among the first shinobi from the Shinobi World to be selected as Reincarnators.

Watching the Three Sannin reach this conclusion, Nawaki couldn't help but smile quietly.

Exactly. That's what he wanted them to believe.

That the world is vast, that Reincarnators are everywhere, and that the Lord God is unfathomable.

Of course, their speculation wasn't wrong. Nawaki did plan to build multiple Reincarnation Spaces.

After all, Reincarnator Missions almost always required killing and conflict. When Reincarnators entered foreign worlds, it was all too easy to accumulate deep hatred from the locals.

But that hatred? It was useful.

By establishing multiple Reincarnation Spaces and dragging in native characters from different universes, he could create natural rivalries and competition. Let them fight and struggle within the system, while ignoring the one pulling the strings above.

When their focus turned to each other, they'd stop looking up at the Lord God.

And that was when Nawaki could profit in silence.

Of course, that goal would take time. Even this first Reincarnation Space wasn't fully developed yet—only the Sannin currently had access.

---

He shifted his attention back to his sister.

The three had already stepped through the "World Gate" and into the "Trade Zone." Their bodies were immediately cloaked in fog, making them indistinguishable to outsiders.

Naturally, Nawaki's administrator-level vision could see through it.

After some surprised glances at one another, Tsunade walked beneath the massive orb of light and stood near the central beam.

Even before she touched it, a transparent panel opened in front of her—like her chakra had synced to a signal. Four distinct options appeared:

[View Personal Status]

[View World Data]

[View Mission Info]

[Open Reincarnation Exchange]

[Below: Insufficient authority. Other functions locked.]

Only four?

Tsunade frowned. After all they had endured during that grueling Ascension Mission, this was all the authority they got?

Did they really have to complete more missions just to unlock the rest?

She sighed, then calmly selected World Data first.

Their failure last time had been due to a lack of intelligence. If they'd known more about the world of Fairy Tail, they could have made strategic exchanges beforehand and avoided a lot of unnecessary danger.

As the screen opened, a list of entries appeared one after another:

[Magic World (Fairy Tail) – Basic Info – 1,500 points]

[Shinobi World (Naruto) – Basic Info – 1,500 points]

[Pirate World (One Piece) – Basic Info – 1,500 points]

[Myth World (Saint Seiya) – Basic Info – 1,500 points]

[Dragon Ball World – Basic Info – 1,500 points]

...

Countless world data entries appeared, each requiring 1,500 points to unlock.

Advanced data cost even more.

The worst part? The Sannin had no choice but to pay. If they entered a world with complete elemental or skill counters, they'd be doomed.

Only within Reincarnation Space could intel be exchanged.

And not just world data—Mission Info also had to be purchased.

Without knowing what the next mission entailed, even gathering intel would be meaningless.

Viewing the next mission: 1,500 points.

Ascension missions: not viewable at all.

If it weren't for the fact that data was shareable among teammates, just checking a single mission would eat up a massive chunk of points.

Even with team sharing, each Reincarnator would, on average, spend at least 1,000 points on prep alone…

"What a bunch of scammers."

Tsunade grumbled, handing over her points anyway.

There was no helping it—this was a monopoly.

The trio also spent some points to check their own status panels, finally getting a clear picture of how the system classified their power.

Then they explored the Trade Zone, where items from Reincarnators across other worlds were supposedly being sold.

When they noticed that the prices were way higher than the Lord God's standard exchange rates, they closed the interface without hesitation.

Yeah…

In truth, the Trade Zone should've been completely empty—since theirs was the only Reincarnation Space so far.

To maintain the illusion, Nawaki had fabricated numerous item listings, marked them up, and set them to refresh regularly to trick new Reincarnators into thinking it was a bustling marketplace.

The Sannin, of course, were unaware.

Watching them eagerly discussing gains, exchanges, and intel for their next mission, Nawaki stifled a laugh.

---

Meanwhile, just a "wall" away in another part of the Reincarnation Space...

Black Zetsu was still lying unconscious on the cold ground, awaiting his first mission.

He had been passed out there for over a month now.

A truly tragic figure.

But that phase was finally about to end.

This time, in addition to Black Zetsu, several new ninja recruits had been selected—each roughly equal in strength—to form a new Reincarnator team.

Once the Three Sannin's return timer expired and they were sent back to the Naruto world...

Nawaki dragged the names of the new recruits into the teleportation panel, tapped "Begin," and used a Reincarnation Token.

The next moment, across different locations in the Shinobi World, several people simultaneously heard the same voice in their minds—

cold, indifferent, mechanical.

[Reincarnator Mission: Begin.]

Before they could react, their vision went black—

and they vanished from their original locations.
