Takuya was a transmigrator.
People often say that it's become trendy for masses of transmigrators to invade other worlds. But when it actually happened to him, it still caught him completely off guard.
Isn't there a saying? Everything one experiences in life comes suddenly, without any way to plan for it.
The real question is whether or not you can adapt.
So, Takuya quickly accepted his new reality and couldn't wait to stir things up.
As a die-hard fan of Naruto, he desperately wanted to see the Naruto Mobile Game introduced into the Ninja World.
Just imagine it—these iconic characters.
Naruto, Sasuke, and others, controlling their own avatars or someone else's, dominating the battlefield in one-on-one duels.
Of course, there's also the possibility of getting thrashed.
But hey, this is a high-quality game that makes boys blush on the regular—you can't go wrong with it!
Looking for a partner? Trust a Naruto Mobile Game player!
First of all, they're classy.
No matter if they win or lose, they'll always console their opponents with care—especially friendly to newcomers.
Second, they're expressive.
One moment they're laughing out loud, the next they're flipping moods and crying—it's an emotional rollercoaster that guarantees a unique romantic experience.
Third, they talk to themselves a lot.
Whether someone's around or not, they love to chat while playing—like ( ), or ( ), or even ( ).
Fourth, they're dedicated.
It's hard to imagine a game where you have to log in daily like a regular job, yet Naruto players are just that patient.
Fifth, they're thrifty.
They'll hoard game coins like dragons with treasure—use one and they'll throw a fit.
Sixth, they're great at math.
You ask what cost-performance ratio is? (leans back strategically)
Seventh, they're everywhere.
You can find Naruto players in all kinds of places—from heaven to Bilibili.
Eighth, they're… diverse.
No need to explain that one!
Ninth, they've got nimble fingers.
Ahem—
Tenth, they're united.
No one beats them at solidarity. The author is proud to call them the strongest! Even if they fight a lot amongst themselves.
This could be considered a modern list of ten deadly sins!
Of course, their biggest crime is—looking like Sasuke… minus the tragic backstory.
With such a long list of virtues, what would happen if this miraculous game were brought into the Ninja World? The possibilities were almost too wild to imagine.
(Thesis: Just how abstract will the native players get?)
So, Takuya used the system every transmigrator must have and pulled off something huge.
Sure, he could have taken it slow.
But again, Naruto players hate slow burns. Just look at how frequently they use summoning jutsu to make sudden appearances in the arena.
The system's currency was numerical "influence."
The more influence he had in the Ninja World, the more deeply he became embedded in people's hearts—and the greater the benefits he reaped.
For maximum shock value right out of the gate, Takuya made sure everyone in the Ninja World saw it.
Because of this, he ended up buried in debt.
No big deal! Naruto players are financial wizards. He'd earn it back in no time!
For the sake of influence and future development, Takuya had to start with war.
The Ninja World had always been steeped in hatred and conflict. Most of its history was just battle after battle.
From this perspective, he was simply aligning with the world's will. After all, if everyone kept fighting amongst themselves, they'd never be able to handle alien invaders later.
"System, can you amp it up a bit? Just play that thing once on the light screen," Takuya said, trying to negotiate.
The system didn't reply. Instead, the light screen suspended in the sky began to move, slowly revealing a deeply stirring image.
All the ninjas were watching intently. When the image became clear, gasps could be heard from every corner of the world.
Brutal.
That single word was enough to describe everything they saw.
The land of the current, still-prosperous Ninja World appeared desolate and barren on the screen.
Everyone who saw it felt an inexplicable sorrow rise from the depths of their hearts.
The earth was still dotted with human figures, but their aura was more like the dead—like a caravan of corpse bearers.
Only, the travelers were corpses themselves.
Yes, their spirits were already dead, crushed by an utterly hopeless tragedy.
The light screen flickered back and forth.
Konoha, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, even Amegakure…
All the great and minor shinobi villages and nations had been reduced to ruins. The once-legendary figures of the Ninja World were now nothing more than dust in the wind.
『Year 1451 of the Ninja Calendar』
『After the Fourth Great Ninja War, thanks to the tireless efforts of the survivors, the Ninja World finally flourished once again—but it didn't last.』
『That day, beings from beyond the stars arrived.』
『They were the true ancestors of all shinobi—the origin of chakra itself.』
『Faced with enemies beyond human comprehension, the strongest in the Ninja World fought valiantly. Though they managed to repel them temporarily, the threat couldn't be eradicated.』
『Then suddenly, the cataclysm that would end the Ninja World struck without warning.』
『Everyone across the Ninja World united, putting aside differences to fight together.』
『But no matter how hard they fought, people who die... stay dead. The enemies, however, seemed endless.』
『Perhaps their determination was noticed by that alien race—because then, the true gods descended.』
『They were unstoppable and uncontainable.』
『And when the only man capable of fighting them fell, the Ninja World began to collapse.』
『With 80% of its population wiped out, defeat was officially declared. The world became nothing more than a breeding ground for the aliens.』
『The era of the ninja—was over!』
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Everyone in the Ninja World stared in shock at the blood-red text on the screen.
It wasn't hard to understand.
It basically meant: in the future, aliens would invade the Ninja World. The current infighting needed to stop, and they had to prepare.
Hmm...
Yeah, right! Who the hell would believe that?!
Saying something so bizarre out of nowhere—how could anyone take it seriously?
"Ahahaha, aliens? No way that kind of thing exists!" Naruto laughed until he clutched his stomach.
At the Ninja Academy, some like Naruto just thought it was funny. But most didn't know what to think, only sensing something profound.
Sasuke sat by the window with arms crossed, glancing faintly at Naruto, his brows lightly furrowed.
Was it an illusion…? Some of those flickering figures on the screen looked oddly familiar.
But even so, it wasn't enough to convince people.
Takuya understood that perfectly.
He hadn't expected everyone to believe right away—he just wanted to make the biggest possible splash.
Time would do the rest. The number of believers would only grow... because it was the truth!
"Well, since we're here… let's start a round of PK!"
In front of Takuya, a small light screen lit up, connected to the massive one in the sky.
