Naruto: I Am Crazy with the Simulation System!

[Year Twelve]

Outside in the world, after becoming the Jinchūriki of the Ten Tails and gaining the power of the Sage of Six Paths, Nagato did not act with reckless arrogance like Uchiha Madara.

Instead, he chose a patient, strategic approach.

While gradually adapting to and mastering his newfound power, he also began to assume control over the Mask Organization you had entrusted to him.

He merged it with the Akatsuki, and selectively accepted missions to eliminate obstinate targets in advance—quietly reducing the resistance that would come with unifying the shinobi world.

After all, what Nagato sought was not just conquest through force, but reformation of thought itself.

At the same time, under the Mask Organization's umbrella, the company managed by Gato had grown into a formidable behind-the-scenes force that controlled the flow of essential goods across the shinobi world.

Aside from a few stubborn regions like Konoha, nearly every other area had already fallen under Gato Company's discreet dominion.

Though the Mask Organization, under Nagato's leadership, didn't aim to expand through brute force...

They instead focused on peaceful transition—leveraging policy influence, market regulation, and gradual integration to absorb a region's strength and convert it into fresh power of their own.

Only when faced with true hardliners—local nobles, monopolistic merchants, or die-hard samurai and shinobi—would Nagato dispatch elite operatives to utterly crush them.

And these individuals would then be publicly tried before the local populace.

Surprisingly, this soft-handed approach proved extremely effective in consolidating the new regime.

In just a few short years, the Mask Organization had fully absorbed long-standing territories like the coastal cities of the Land of Water, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Fire.

Even Kirigakure and Sunagakure had submitted—agreeing to offer half their shinobi each year for joint training under the organization.

If this path continued, it was only a matter of time before village barriers dissolved, and true ideological unification was achieved.

Elsewhere, in the Land of Earth near the border with Amegakure, after Ōnoki's elite shinobi failed miserably in spying on the Akatsuki, he too expressed willingness to submit.

Although Iwagakure retained some autonomy, the Land of Earth had clearly become a crucial puzzle piece within the Mask Organization's sphere of influence.

Smaller countries and minor shinobi villages—long ravaged by wars during the Warring States era—also joined one by one after the organization removed their oppressive nobles and exploitative elder councils.

Now the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, and those small nations caught in the cracks had united.

At this point, it could be said that the Mask Organization controlled half the shinobi world.

The remaining Lands of Lightning and Fire were gripped by fear. Yet they were also reliant on Gato Company's supplies—trapped in a slow, inevitable decline.

In some ways, the Akatsuki had been reborn.

But this was a reawakening of the Akatsuki's original ideals.

Barring unexpected disruption, Nagato—revered as a god among men—had already pushed the unification of the shinobi world past the point of no return.

More and more, he embodied the very image described in prophecy.

But... was that truly the whole story?

Could those who called themselves gods—or even sages—truly be selfless?

And would the remaining beneficiaries of the old world ever willingly relinquish their power, abandon the ecstasy of ruling over others, or cast aside the beliefs inherited across countless generations?

...

In the Land of Fire, golden fields of wheat stretched endlessly under the sun, but amid the bounty stood ragged, malnourished figures.

They lived in this fertile land, yet had no time to enjoy the harvest. All they could do was continue harvesting, drying the grain and handing it over—before the Daimyō's tax collectors arrived.

They kept only barely enough to survive the winter and plant in spring.

Gato Company's modern ideals were simply too advanced. Its developed commercial empire utterly crushed the feudal, slave-like system of the Land of Fire.

The nobles, panicked, retaliated by ordering a 99% tax on all grain.

This once-abundant land now overflowed with hunger and chaos.

Still—there was hope.

A rebel farmers' army, led by two silver-masked warriors, had begun forging siege engines and already stormed two cities. They captured local nobles and grain-hoarding merchants...

Opened granaries, distributed food, and saved nearby starving villagers.

Then—

A golden flash streaked across the battlefield.

The two silver-masked warriors—once hailed as saviors—fell in pools of blood. Within seconds, their fellow rebel leaders were also taken down by the golden-haired shinobi's comrades.

The golden-haired ninja smashed their heavy crossbows and trebuchets with a single punch.

Facing the panicked villagers, he said, "You're safe now."

And with that, he vanished.

Leaving behind desperate farmers armed with nothing but pitchforks, rakes, and hoes—to face the Daimyō's fully armed samurai army.

The golden-haired shinobi continued on his path of righteous justice...

...

Konoha.

In the Sarutobi clan's battle compound, a blond youth with agile reflexes ended a day of fighting and returned home to share a feast of roasted meat with his companions.

Afterward, he stepped into the luxurious private hot spring of his villa to unwind.

And finally, with pride and glory in his heart, he lay down in a soft, spacious bed.

In his dreams, he would meet a kind, elderly man holding a tin staff, and a long-lost brother who felt intimately familiar despite being a stranger.

Under the elder's guidance, he would master a new power.

He would learn he was the Child of Prophecy.

Then, he would destroy the traitorous rebel leader who brought endless suffering to the Land of Fire—and eliminate the so-called Mask Organization that wreaked havoc abroad.

——————

Outside in the world, the two prophesied children were like twin suns rising into the sky—each radiating their own blinding light.

Each displaying their charisma and dreams for the future.

Each taking action to carve out an era of their own.

Meanwhile, in the Ryūchi Cave, your Sage training was nearing its end.

As the final wisp of natural energy flowed into the divine realm you created with Kamui, thousands of glowing, rainbow-hued white Sage Truth-Seeking Orbs lit up the sky like stars within this prototype divine domain.

With a violent explosion, your meditating body erupted into a mist of blood.

Then—one Sage Truth-Seeking Orb merged into it, and your body completed its final regenerative transformation.

Cellular reconstruction—this Sage Technique was something you had unexpectedly comprehended while merging two equally powerful bloodlines.

It would be more accurate to call it a "Divine Technique."

Even if half your body was destroyed on the spot, a single thought would be enough to restore you. Even if only a drop of blood or a single cell remained—as long as energy remained—you could revive fully.

And it wasn't limited to yourself. You could use this technique on others as well.

Of course, in today's world, perhaps not even Nagato—now hailed as a god—could push you to such a desperate state.

You looked down at your powerful body, overflowing with destructive energy, gently tracing the smooth, jade-like white scales covering your skin—tough beyond belief.

You reached up and touched the pair of bone horns emerging from your head—seemingly cute, but in truth brimming with incomprehensible Sage energy.

A casual wave of your hand made the air itself crack and thunder.

Through the trials of endless physical reconstruction, you had even managed to open the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates Formation!

With such strength now flowing through you, you had never felt more alive.

It was time to leave.

You retracted your scales and stepped out from the Dragon Vein space, appearing before the White Snake Sage.
