I slowly open my eyes.
The sky is blue, the air is fresh, but something feels off.
I struggle to stand. My body still aches from Akeno's betrayal.

"Where the hell am I?"
I look around. Towering trees, a nearby river… a forest.
The system responds.
[Location Detected: Naruto World.]
My breathing quickens.
"Naruto? Am I really here?"
I don't have time to process it.
I hear voices.
—"Quick! Let's check this area!"
Footsteps rustle through the trees. Someone is coming.
I hide behind a fallen log.
[Stealth Activated: +30% noise reduction and evasion.]
Two figures appear.
They wear the headbands of the Hidden Mist Village.
—"The report said an unknown chakra fell in this area." One of them scans the surroundings.
The other nods.
—"If it's an enemy ninja, we need to eliminate them before they cause trouble."
My heart pounds. If they find me, I could die.
Survival System Activated
The system presents new options.
[Survival Mission – Objective: Avoid combat or eliminate enemies.]

"I can't risk a fight in my current state."
I choose option 1 and invest some system points to upgrade my stealth skill.
[Stealth upgraded to Lv.3: 40% evasion and noise reduction.]
The ninjas look around but eventually leave.
—"Must have been a mistake. Let's go back."
They disappear into the trees.
"That was close."
Once I'm sure the danger is gone, I start moving.
The system provides new information.

After walking for hours, I finally find a dirt road.
I follow it until a distant village comes into view.
The sign at the entrance leaves me speechless.
WELCOME TO THE HIDDEN RAIN VILLAGE.
The Hidden Rain… home of Konan and Pain.
My mind races.
"If I'm here, that means Akatsuki still exists."
If I want to survive in this world… I need allies.
I look toward the village, knowing this will be the first step in my new life.
[Mission Activated: Find Shelter.]Objective: Enter the Hidden Rain Village without raising suspicion.Reward: 1,000 points.
I take a deep breath and step forward.
My story in this world has just begun.
