Chapter 5
Ryo stood still in the quiet jungle, the system panel floating faintly before his eyes. The earlier irritation had settled, replaced by something far more dangerous—
curiosity.
His mind, sharpened by years of battle and strategy, had already begun dissecting the system's value.
After a moment of silence, he spoke:
"So… according to 'Time Travel'…"
His gaze narrowed slightly.
"I will travel to different worlds… and then return to this one. Correct?"
[Yes, Host. However—]
Ryo cut it off instantly.
"But I'll have to complete missions before I can return. Right?"
[Ye—]
"And completing those missions gives rewards. Skills, points, Weapons. Possibly other abilities."
[Yes, you will receive—]
"So that means," Ryo continued without pause, his tone calm but precise, "either I spend points in the shop… or earn them through missions and side objectives."
The system went silent.
Not because it couldn't answer—
but because the host had already answered everything.
[...Yes.]
Ryo nodded slightly, as if confirming his own thoughts.
Then he moved on.
"Next question."
"According to the title's description, my soul can travel. But can I travel with my physical body as well?"
The system panicked.
[Host! Host! Host! Please stop interrupting!]
Its text flickered rapidly, almost as if sweating.
[Allow me to properly introduce my functions first!]
Ryo said nothing this time.
He simply crossed his arms—
and allowed it.
The system immediately began, its tone more formal, almost rushed, as if afraid of being interrupted again.
[My primary function is to allow the host to travel between different worlds.]
[In those worlds, the host must complete missions in order to return.]
[However, the host may also choose not to return.]
Ryo's eyes flickered slightly at that last line, but he remained silent.
[There are two methods of travel:]
[1. Soul Travel]
[The host's soul leaves the body and enters another world.]
[The original body will remain preserved under system protection and will not decay.]
A pause.
Then—
[However, if the body is physically damaged by external forces such as enemies, beasts, or environmental hazards, the system will not intervene.]
[Reconstruction of the body will require additional cost.]
Ryo's expression didn't change, but he mentally noted it.
So… my body becomes a sitting target.
The system continued:
[In the target world, the host's soul will occupy a suitable vessel.]
[This vessel may be a recently deceased healthy body… or a body with a weakened or damaged soul.]
[The host will inherit the body's abilities and partial memories.]
Ryo's eyes sharpened slightly.
[The original soul of the body will be placed into dormancy.]
[However, external stimulation may awaken it.]
[If awakened, the host's control over the body will decrease by approximately 40%.]
"…Troublesome," Ryo muttered under his breath.
[2. Body Travel]
[The host travels to another world with their original body.]
[In this case, the host will have no established identity, background, or existence within that world.]
Ryo raised a brow.
"An outsider."
[Correct. An 'illegal existence.']
[If detected by the world's consciousness, the host may be targeted for elimination or expulsion.]
[Even if direct elimination is not possible, the world may continuously interfere with the host's actions.]
Ryo smirked faintly.
"So the world itself becomes my enemy."
[Yes.]
The system paused briefly before continuing.
[Additionally, the host may designate up to three worlds as 'Locked Worlds.']
[Locked Worlds function as personal domains.]
[The host may enter and exit freely without mission restrictions.]
[However, only body travel is permitted in these worlds.]
[Soul travel is strictly prohibited.]
Ryo exhaled slowly.
"…That's a lot of information."
Then, after a brief pause, he added casually,
"So… I can store my belongings in the storage space, right?"
There was a long silence.
[Host…]
"…Yes?"
[You ignored everything I just said.]
"…Not really."
Without waiting further, Ryo activated the storage.
One by one, his equipment disappeared into it—scrolls, weapons, tools—everything except one.
His blade.
Yama.
That, he kept.
The system decided not to comment.
For its own mental safety.
Then suddenly—
[Host, I forgot to mention the most important information.]
Ryo paused.
"Go on."
[There are thousands of worlds.]
[Some contain individuals capable of destroying entire planets.]
[Some possess civilizations advanced enough to create worlds of their own.]
[Others are so weak that even a single Jonin could dominate them entirely.]
The system's tone became more structured.
[To classify them, I have established a ranking system.]
[From 1-Star to 9-Star.]
[1-Star: Extremely weak worlds.]
[9-Star: Extremely powerful worlds.]
[The ranking is determined by top-tier powerhouses, overall civilization level, and general population strength.]
Ryo listened carefully this time.
[Based on current analysis—]
[Host Uchiha Ryo: Full 3-Star Level.]
[Ninja World: Full 3-Star Level.]
Ryo's eyes narrowed slightly.
[The Ninja World lacks sufficient technological and widespread individual strength.]
[If these aspects are improved, it may advance to 4-Star.]
Silence followed.
Then Ryo asked quietly,
"…Do you know my full power?"
The system hesitated.
[No, Host.]
[This evaluation is based on chakra levels and estimated combat capacity.]
[There is a possibility of inaccuracy.]
Ryo smiled faintly.
A dangerous smile.
"Well… let me help you correct that."
A pause.
Then calmly—
"I awakened the Rinnegan at twenty."
The system froze.
Completely.
[...How?]
The text flickered violently.
[HOW?!]
[Host, how did you awaken the Rinnegan at such an early age?!]
Ryo's expression darkened slightly.
"With my Mangekyō ability."
Silence.
Then—
[...I see.]
A pause.
Then another line appeared:
[It seems I missed many… interesting developments during sleep mode.]
Ryo's gaze turned cold.
Very cold.
"…My evaluation."
The system immediately responded.
No delay.
No hesitation.
[Recalculating…]
A brief flicker.
Then—
[Host Uchiha Ryo: Mid 4-Star Level.]
Silence returned to the jungle.
Ryo looked at the result.
Then gave a small, satisfied nod.
"Now that sounds more accurate."
The system, however…
felt something else entirely.
Because it had just realized—
It's host wasn't just strong. He was growing at a rate that didn't follow logic.

Q: Do you know why Ruo was angry at system when it asked how he awakened his rinnegan?😁😁😁
