Kei grinned as he looked at his trait interface. At this stage, the idea of traveling across different worlds didn't hold that much appeal to him. Sure, he had occasionally complained—why did he have to be reborn into the chaotic and brutal world of ninjas instead of a peaceful and beautiful everyday world?
But everything had its pros and cons. If it weren't the Naruto world, how else could he have gained such immense power?
Besides, after living in this world for twenty years, he had made friends, family, lovers, and disciples. He also had that one lamp that always stayed on for him, no matter how late he came home.
Even if he wanted to see other worlds, he would make sure to settle everything here first, to arrange things properly before setting off on his journey. That way, when he returned, he wouldn't come back to ruins and endless battles.
That lamp waiting for a traveler's return would still be shining in the night. And like a ship battered by waves and storms, he could finally return to the harbor that belonged to him.
"System, use all my trait extractions!"
He spoke in his mind to the system, no longer holding any specific expectations for what he might get. After all, he hadn't even fully explored the spatial abilities granted by [Multiversal Voyager] yet.
If he could master that power… What ninja technique could possibly withstand a slash that was invisible, intangible, and could cut through anything?

[Obtained:
- Rift-Sitting Titan (Blue)
- Silky Entrance (Gray)
- Beauty-Average Eye (White)
- Magical Wardrobe Master (Purple)]
[Rift-Sitting Titan (Blue):
After long-term training, your pelvic bones are far stronger than normal. Your sitting power is enough to tear through the air and shatter mountains. Increases strength in hips, thighs, pelvis, and boosts hip defense.]
[Silky Entrance (Gray):
Everyone has small hobbies they don't talk about. Yours is a strong preference for the texture of silk. Resistance to black, white, gray, flesh-tone, colored, gradient, and mesh patterns is greatly reduced. Increases secretion of hormones and dopamine.]
[Beauty-Average Eye (White):
Outer appearances are mere illusions. Everyone looks the same to you—neither ugly nor beautiful. Slight increase in mental resilience, willpower, and moral judgment. Slight decrease in desires and emotions.]
[Magical Wardrobe Master (Purple):
A must-have magic for close-combat mages. Allows storage of weapons, armor, and gear in a personal magical arsenal. Can instantly swap equipment during battle. Greatly boosts swap speed, storage capacity, weapon mastery, melee combat skills, and magic control.]

"Seriously?"
Kei pursed his lips. Looking at the colorful and bizarre traits, he was momentarily speechless.
[Rift-Sitting Titan]... when he first heard the system notification, he thought it was referring to Rayquaza. For a second, he was confused—shouldn't a legendary Pokémon-related trait be way higher than just blue?
Turns out… it was this kind of "sit"?
What was the next level of this trait? Crow Shitting on a Plane?
And seriously—who fought by slamming their ass down on people? He wasn't too concerned about appearances, and he had no problem using eye-pokes and groin kicks in close combat, but those were still normal ninja techniques.
This… Sure this isn't something trained by courtesans?
And then there's [Silky Entrance]… Even the most eccentric pervert, like Jiraiya, wouldn't have a preference this specific!
At most, he just liked "easy catches" and "early risers."
But this? Shoving things into his mouth for fun…? Now he was a little curious, would it actually taste like ice cream? ( ´゚ω゚)?
Also, with the massive increase in hormones and dopamine, wouldn't that mean he'd be constantly hyped up and excited?
At least [Beauty-Average Eye] had some practical use.
A must-have for monks.
If anyone wanted to transcend worldly desires and become a monk, he could lend a hand.
System, activate [Magical Wardrobe Master].
He sighed and activated the only purple-tier trait. If his guess was right, this ability likely came from the Fairy Tail world—similar to Erza's magic, which allowed her to change equipment anytime, anywhere.
At least it was a purple-tier. Even if he wasn't sure how useful it would be for a ninja like him…
Wait—Holy crap, it's actually useful!
As a flood of training memories and foundational magic knowledge surged into his mind, along with the sensation of a "magic arsenal" opening in his mana source, Kei's face lit up with a bright grin.
Looking cool while changing outfits was one thing.
But the real game-changer was the magic arsenal's sheer size—nearly a thousand cubic meters!
And the definition of "weapons and armor" was extremely flexible.
Kunai and shuriken? Obviously weapons.
Explosive tags, military rations, even storage scrolls? Also counted as weapons!
Hell, if he picked up a plate of food, the system still recognized it as a weapon!
Wasn't this just a personal storage space?!
And perhaps because chakra didn't have a traditional "source" like magic, the system adapted accordingly.
The so-called magic arsenal, which was supposed to be opened within his "mana source," was now tightly linked to his soul and chakra, allowing his chakra to fully substitute for magic power.
Meaning, even if he used Mind Body Switch Technique to take control of someone else's body, he could still access his magic arsenal.

[Synergy link detected:
- Multiversal Voyager (Gold)
- Magical Wardrobe Master (Purple)]
[Wardrobe Master (Purple) has been enhanced, evolving into Unlimited Arsenal (Red).]
[Unlimited Arsenal (Red):
A once-ordinary equipment-swapping magic now shines with a brilliance beyond its limits, thanks to extraordinary spatial talent. Store any item inside your personal arsenal. Retrieve items flexibly. Arsenal size limit greatly expanded. Significant boosts to retrieval speed, weapon mastery, close combat techniques, and magic control.]

"Did I just get a fusion of Gate of Babylon and Unlimited Blade Works?"
Hearing the system notification and feeling the changes within himself, Kei's expression froze for a moment.
His mastery of equipment-swapping magic hadn't changed much. But his arsenal, which was originally just a thousand cubic meters, had now expanded in all directions by a ridiculous factor.
Turning his gaze toward the Gedo Statue, which had been forcibly suppressed on the lotus platform and sealed into silence, he teleported in front of it using Flying Thunder God Technique.
Placing his hand on the statue, he channeled an immense amount of senjutsu chakra to fully envelop it.
In the next moment, space rippled layer by layer. And even though the Gedo Statue was several dozen meters tall, it vanished on the spot.
Staring at the corner of his magic arsenal, where the Gedo Statue now sat, he gulped hard.
If not for the fact that the arsenal couldn't store living beings… He could have taken every single resident of Konoha on a world-hopping adventure!
With this kind of space…
"Who the hell needs storage-sealing scrolls anymore?!"
