Naruto: I Am The System

Though Law wore a faint smile on his face, to everyone else, it carried a clear sense of mockery and provocation.

With his left hand gripping a scalpel and his right palm facing downward, he took a deep breath.

According to the techniques he had exchanged for before the mission, he began channeling the power within him—the power of the Devil Fruit.

"Op-Op Fruit…"

ROOM!

A swirling white vortex suddenly formed in Law's palm, rapidly spinning outward like a typhoon. In an instant, it expanded dramatically.

A soft wind blew as a translucent dome burst forth, enveloping the area within a ten-meter radius in a pale spherical field.

He had done it—he'd successfully activated the power of the Devil Fruit!

A flicker of joy crossed Law's face.

Though he had mentally prepared for it, actually releasing this ability filled him with a surreal sense of power—an overwhelming awareness that within this space, he was in complete control.

"This brat… does he also have a Kekkei Genkai?"

The Iwagakure captain sensed something was wrong. His hands quickly formed signs behind his back.

Ever since deducing that Robin could summon arms within her line of sight, he had been maintaining this precaution to avoid being caught off guard.

In the next moment, his skin darkened and hardened like stone.

With a powerful step, kunai in hand, he launched forward. The ten meters separating him and Law vanished in a flash. He closed the gap in a single breath and brought the kunai down toward Law.

At that moment, Law slashed with his scalpel—

Shhk!

Blood spurted.

Law's expression twisted in pain as his right arm was severed and flung through the air by the Iwa captain.

In truth, if the enemy hadn't pulled his strike at the last second, it wouldn't have been an arm that got cut—it would have been Law's head.

Just as the Iwa captain's grin began to stretch across his face, he suddenly noticed something strange.

Why… why can I see my own legs?

But… I didn't bend down…

Wait a second!

Realization dawned on him in an instant.

He had been sliced clean in half by this brat's blade!

"Captain!" the nearby Iwa ninja shouted, their expressions changing drastically.

Just moments ago, they had been chuckling as they watched their captain toy with a group of kids.

They never expected the tables to turn so quickly.

Their Jōnin-ranked captain—cut in half by a teenage boy.

It was like a hornet's nest had been kicked.

The Iwa ninja around them immediately sprang into action. No longer daring to spectate, they leapt into motion—some trying to catch their falling captain, others hurling kunai and shuriken toward the three intruders in the center.

Still reeling in pain, Law let out a furious roar and swept his scalpel through the air.

To an outsider, it looked like he was slashing at nothing.

But as he slashed wildly, the Iwa ninjas were horrified to find that their bodies—arms, torsos—began detaching on their own, splitting apart into scattered pieces.

ROOM: Slaughterhouse.

The power of the Op-Op Fruit.

It ignored hardness, ignored material, and ignored distance.

Within his spatial domain, Law could cut and rearrange anything at will.

Even living beings—sliced clean apart—did not bleed, did not die, did not feel pain, nor were they technically injured.

But as Law unleashed a burst of this terrifying ability…

The area truly became a slaughterhouse. Panicked screams filled the forest.

Cut into pieces by a mysterious power, the victims lost all sense of composure. It took them several moments to even realize they weren't actually hurt.

On the other side, after completing his technique, Law's eyes went black. His legs gave out beneath him, and he collapsed from the treetop.

The spherical ROOM faded and vanished from the air.

Using the power of the Op-Op Fruit consumed stamina—even life force.

Law had overexerted himself without thinking about the consequences. Now, his body gave out. He fainted on the spot.

Just as he slipped off the branch, a hand caught him in midair.

Drake managed to grab Law at the last second, hoisting him up while carrying Robin on his back. Without hesitation, he leapt away from the scene, racing deeper into the forest.

Now was their chance to escape.

Understanding the nature of the Op-Op Fruit, Drake had no illusions about staying to fight. Even though the Iwa-nin had been diced into pieces, most of them still retained functional limbs—many could still weave hand seals and cast jutsu.

Sure enough, the Iwa captain—his upper and lower body floating separately—glared at the fleeing trio in fury and quickly formed hand signs.

Earth Style: Falling Earth Spears

Sharp stone spears erupted from the ground, aiming to impale Drake from below.

But he dodged every single one, swiftly weaving through the obstacles until he escaped the forest entirely.

"Damn it!!"

The Iwa captain slammed the ground with a fist, face contorted in frustration.

If only he hadn't let his guard down, how could he have been caught off guard by a kid and let his targets slip away?

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over him, blocking out the sun.

Who—?

He looked up—and saw the face of a young man.

And then everything went dark.

"Ten thousand points… quite the haul."

After cleaning up the battlefield and using a mix of Earth and Wood Style to restore the forest's appearance, Nawaki glanced at the scrolling point tally, a smile in his eyes.

At least half of those points had come from Law's ROOM breakthrough.

With his understanding of the Op-Op Fruit now awakened, Law's power level would surge dramatically—reaching B+ rank would be a simple matter.

After all, this was devilish power.

If it weren't for the glaring weaknesses of Devil Fruit users, the power scaling in the One Piece world would be even more broken than it already was…

While mulling this over, Nawaki opened the main system menu. His voice, processed and relayed through the interface, echoed in Robin, Drake, and Law's ears.

[Successfully escaped pursuit by Iwagakure.

Main Mission 2 complete.]

[Points earned: 500.]

Mission Evaluation: S-Rank!]

[Reward: 1 Silver Treasure Chest – contains one item worth up to 3,000 points.]

[First Reincarnator Mission completed.

During Newbie Protection Period: Full Recovery Granted. Returning to Origin.]

Hearing the system's voice, Robin and Drake were overjoyed. A soft white glow enveloped their bodies, healing their wounds, banishing exhaustion, and in an instant—they vanished from the forest.

They had returned to the One Piece world.

Nawaki didn't immediately initiate the next mission cycle.

This mission had been an advanced deployment. The next round of Reincarnator assignments wouldn't begin until the start of the next month—over twenty days away.

Something else, however, had caught Nawaki's interest.

Through the mind-screen, he observed A and Killer Bee departing the Land of Earth battlefield—headed toward Konoha.

"Judging by the timing, they've probably heard about Chiyo's death.

But instead of confirming her fate at Sunagakure, they're heading to Konoha…

Are they going to find Might Duy?"

As a lowly genin, Might Duy had repeatedly been "overlooked" for battle assignments, staying safely in the village. Day after day, he trained diligently, carried out odd jobs, and honed his taijutsu.

Maybe… this was the beginning of his moment to shine.

Picturing the son of the Third Raikage arriving in Konoha, Nawaki couldn't help but grin as he teleported back home.

Speaking of which… Black Zetsu had been quiet for quite some time.

Ever since the last mission ended, he'd been playing dead to avoid being noticed by Madara.

So far, it seemed to be working.
