After all, Tsunade was still a woman. Hoping to maintain eternal youth was only natural—everyone knew that age was the forbidden topic for a "mature beauty."
That said, the defense and healing capabilities of Avalon combined with her own ninjutsu—Creation Rebirth—had overlapping effects, but they didn't conflict. Together, the synergy between the two could potentially produce an astonishing regeneration rate.
Practically undying.
With that kind of setup… it was time to send his sister on more dangerous missions.
[Beginner mission complete. Now issuing a new task.]
Tsunade held the replica of Avalon in her hand. She could feel its mysterious power and now fully believed in the existence of the Lord God.
The moment she heard the system's voice again, she instinctively straightened up.
A glowing screen appeared before her once more.
[S-Rank Solo Mission: Victory for the Land of Fire.]

Lead Konoha to victory?
Tsunade frowned—not because there was something wrong with the mission… but because it felt too perfect.
She was already the appointed commander of the Konoha forces in this war. Leading them to victory was her actual responsibility. This mission felt suspiciously tailored to her situation.
If the Lord God was some unseen manipulator, what was its purpose in giving her a mission she was already obligated to complete? What did it stand to gain?
And that mission prefix—S-Rank Solo Mission.
From her many years of experience doing missions, Tsunade understood what that implied: if there were solo missions, then there had to be co-op missions as well.
Which could only mean… she wasn't the only Reincarnator in this world.
A seemingly straightforward mission had opened the floodgates to a tidal wave of questions and suspicions.
But the Lord God didn't answer any of them. After issuing the mission, the voice went silent.
Tch. No point stressing over incomplete information. Just focus on what's in front of me. Eventually, everything will come to light. Right now… the priority is returning to the battlefield—and earning enough points to exchange for some of those jaw-dropping items.
Tsunade glanced down at the golden scabbard in her hand. A softness flickered in her eyes… then turned firm and determined.
With a flicker of chakra, she vanished into the trees, leaping toward the front lines.

Watching it all unfold through the screen, Nawaki nodded in satisfaction.
The more benefits Tsunade received from the system, the more deeply bound to it she would become.
Ruling through fear was always the lesser path. True mastery came from mixing grace with power—offering benefits to inspire loyalty and dependence.
As for the mission system itself, Nawaki had discovered something… frustrating.
To earn points from enemy kills, the target type must be explicitly included in the mission requirements.
For example, if the mission didn't mention "defeating enemy Chūnin," then even if Tsunade killed dozens, she wouldn't receive a single point.
And when Reincarnators weren't on a mission, their kills provided zero points to the Lord God.
This limitation annoyed Nawaki to no end—it made even skimming a few extra points difficult.
But where there's a rule, there's a workaround.
Nawaki was already planning to release universal bounty missions to all Reincarnators. That way, as long as someone somewhere was killing enemies, he could still earn a steady stream of points.
Tsunade uploaded jutsu scrolls worth over 7,000 points. I took a 50% cut—3,500.
Then I gained 1,500 more when she purchased Avalon.
Plus the leftover 500 from before…
That puts me at a total of 5,500 points now.
Should he spend it on skills, bloodlines, and boosting his own strength?
Nawaki hesitated for only a second before dismissing that thought.
Powering up could come later. At this stage, his funds were limited, and he needed to stretch every point. Sure, Tsunade's mission might bring in a massive windfall, but that would likely still fall short of what he needed.
After all, expanding the number of Reincarnators meant requiring points for everything—recruitment, equipment, supervision. A few thousand points might only get him some weak abilities or a trash-tier bloodline.
The true game-changing powers and bloodlines? Those cost tens or hundreds of thousands of points. Completely out of reach right now.
Better to grow his workforce first.
Once he had a sustainable stream of incoming points, then he could afford to invest in the good stuff.
As for training time?
"I can just exchange for a small Time Dilation Room. What's the rush?"
If he was going to train, it would be all at once, and done right.
Putting the idea of personal upgrades aside for now, Nawaki spent his 5,500 points carefully:
1. Reincarnator Slots ×3 – 1,500 points
2. Radar Upgrade (Stage 1) – 1,500 points
This "Reincarnator Radar" allowed him to generate a dynamic one-kilometer minimap around any Reincarnator he focused on, marking the location and type of living creatures in the area. It had already proven invaluable—Nawaki had used it to detect the Suna scouting squad Tsunade wiped out in her beginner mission.
Now, after the upgrade, the radar's range expanded to 1.5 kilometers, with enhanced precision.
It could now identify any lifeform at or below Kage-level, even showing detailed attributes. He could also share this radar feed with Reincarnators.
This was crucial, since selecting a Reincarnator required Nawaki to "personally witness" the individual.
Now, by spying on them through radar, he could satisfy the requirement without being physically present. Upgrading it was absolutely essential.
"With this, I could probably pass myself off as a top-tier sensory ninja!"
Nawaki couldn't help but laugh at the thought.
Next, he bought:
3. Lord God Confidentiality Feature – 1,500 points
This function would automatically gag any Reincarnator trying to speak or write about the Lord God, preventing information leaks.
An indispensable tool to maintain the Lord God's mysterious image and suppress any potential exposure of Nawaki's identity.
With those three upgrades, Nawaki had spent 4,500 points, leaving only 1,000 for emergencies.
"Ugh… money really does fly out the window."
He glanced at a few other system features.
"Free reproduction function?
Private Room feature?
Too expensive!"
"Those welfare perks for Reincarnators can wait until I'm so rich I don't know what to spend on!"
At this rate, Nawaki really was on the fast track to becoming a stingy miser overlord.
