【Reincarnator 001】
【Current Mission: Make Jiraiya Despair.】
【Mission Reward: Fixed reward is a Scientific Ninja Art, additional reward points are calculated and distributed based on the performance of the Reincarnator.】
For his first mission, Orochimaru harbored resentment. If his task were simply to kill Jiraiya directly, it would probably be much easier to accomplish.
Even for someone as proud and cold as him, it was difficult to imagine what kind of scenario could make the naturally dense idiot Jiraiya despair.
“Just defeating him alone is far from enough… even if his physical body is destroyed, it would only fulfill his existence’s meaning, not induce despair in him.”
Orochimaru understood Jiraiya like he understood the lines on his palm. Just by opening his palm and lowering his head, he could see through everything, without much effort.
“If, after defeating him… I were to destroy one by one the things he cherishes the most, cares about deeply, and clings to firmly…”
Orochimaru contemplated coldly.
Just as these wicked thoughts emerged, Wang Yan received three thousand resource points.
These points came from the deviation of those favored by fate, the interaction of the world’s will, the distortion of the source, the deviation of destiny, the flapping of butterflies…
In any case, Orochimaru wouldn’t get any of these benefits.
The exploited don’t even realize they’re being exploited.
At this moment.
In the Land of Fire, Konoha.
In front of Ichiraku Ramen.
“Huh?”
Seeing his balance suddenly increase by three thousand resource points, Wang Yan almost felt like saying to Orochimaru, “Comrade, good job.”
Through the connection between the main god and the reincarnator, Wang Yan could see every thought and idea of the other party, savoring every emotional fluctuation.
Orochimaru’s performance was much more proactive than Wang Yan had expected.
“This is an excellent employee, proactive and motivated! He has enormous development value and potential!”
Wang Yan sighed as he looked at the bustling crowd on the street, his lips slightly curling upwards.
Returning to Konoha this time, one, Wang Yan intended to temporarily retain the convenient identity of a Konoha ninja, and two, he intended to recruit at least Naruto and Sasuke as reincarnators.
Originally, he didn’t want to waste slots on the two, feeling it was a waste of resources.
But the moment he recruited Orochimaru and received a massive amount of resource points, Wang Yan immediately realized his mistake.
These people who play important roles in the original fate line can reclaim their investment the moment they become reincarnators.
It’s okay to be wrong, admit it, correct it.
This is the most important quality for a main god.
Hokage’s Office.
The aged Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, smoked a pipe and looked at Wang Yan with hollow eyes.
After a while, he sighed and said, “You’ve done an excellent job on this extermination mission.”
Seeing the other’s posture, Wang Yan scoffed inwardly, “And yet you still put on the appearance of a wise elder who sees the sorrow in the hearts of fallen youth? So fake…”
“I think, with your strength and talent, you shouldn’t continue wandering around as a chuunin! This is not only a waste of your talent but also a disrespect to Konoha’s will…”
After a long lecture, the Third Hokage slammed a file on the desk.
Wang Yan looked at it and found it was his ninja record.
Konoha chuunin Wang Yan, completed D-rank missions 150 times, C-rank missions 420 times, B-rank missions 200 times, A-rank missions 300 times, S-rank missions 31 times.
“Wow… am I that good?”
Seeing this ninja record, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
He remembered that when he bought his identity with resource points, he just cut it off according to Jiraiya’s mission count, and even the S-rank missions were only a fraction.
Seeing this record, Wang Yan realized that Jiraiya’s reputation as one of the Three Ninja had no exaggeration.
The number of missions he had carried out, even if just a fraction, was enough to support the promotion of a chuunin.
“Ah… do people become more verbose when they get old? Can’t you just get to the point?” Wang Yan sighed.
Many people thought the Third Hokage was a good old man, who dedicated his whole life to Konoha, definitely a righteous character, but Wang Yan didn’t think so.
The best evaluation the Third Hokage could get was just “a well-meaning busybody.”
Did he really not know what Danzo had done?
Maybe not!
But, this can’t be blamed on the Third Hokage himself.
After all, when the Naruto series was initially drawn, the author intended it to be a short story, and the Third Hokage was supposed to be the final boss, the ultimate villain in the story outline. Later, due to the sudden explosion of Naruto’s popularity, the author changed his mind and turned it into a long series.
To patch up the plot, Danzo Shimura was introduced.
But since this is now a real and not fictional world, where Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Chakra, and Sealing Arts all exist, everyone’s actions have to be their own responsibility.
Wang Yan took 0.1 seconds to figure this out, and his liking for the Third Hokage instantly dropped from “friendly” to “indifferent,” remaining constant.
Seeing Wang Yan’s expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and finally stopped lecturing, stopped preaching righteousness, and started talking about business.
Sure enough, it was about Wang Yan’s promotion.
This wasn’t for the welfare of his subordinate, but to make his subordinate fulfill more responsibilities, take on more tasks, and squeeze out more benefits.
“Hmm, not a bad tactic! I can learn from this! Should I also classify the reincarnators into different levels in the future?”
After receiving the Jonin set and a new forehead protector, Wang Yan left the Hokage’s office.
But before he could get far, several ninjas with strange animal masks surrounded him.
“Such a strong smell of blood… each one of them is a heinous murderer with bad karma. If I take them out, I should get quite a few resource points, right?”
Although he felt this way, Wang Yan didn’t have the qualifications to accuse these ninjas. After all, when he killed people, he didn’t think about the law’s constraints, nor was he bound by morality.
In the end, he himself was a scoundrel with an evil alignment.
“The Anbu? No, it should be the Root.”
Wang Yan rubbed his chin, nodding slightly to the strongest among these animal-masked men, saying, “Danzo is looking for me? Lead the way!”
Root Secret Base.
Dark, eerie, damp. This place was exactly what children imagine an evil headquarters to be like. Just stepping through the gate, you immediately felt a stench of decay.
Wang Yan felt that even the cauldron used by a certain potion-making professor, who didn’t like cleanliness and had oily hair, was much more comfortable than this ghostly place.
An old man dressed in Japanese kimono, half of his body wrapped in bandages, coughed twice, and his sharp gaze swept towards Wang Yan.
“This guy really embodies the typical behavior of a high-level villain. He’ll never waste time chattering if he can silently attack. Doesn’t say a word, just goes straight for the kill?”
Wang Yan felt a faintly laughable, bizarre mental force trying to penetrate his brain, attempting to alter his memories.
“Loyalty, submission, Danzo is your only master, you’re willing to dedicate your life to him!”
Countless faint voices murmured in his ears, echoing in his mind, as if trying to brainwash him this way.
“Pawn, get lost!”
Wang Yan sneered, bursting out with a roar, waves of sound rolling out.
At the same time, his formidable mental force surged violently towards Danzo.
