Naruto World.
Land of Water.
Fine rain falls, droplets intertwining over Nanmi City, weaving intricately in the wind like a net.
A dense fog pervades amidst the rain.
At this moment, in the mountain forest outside Nanmi City, amidst joy, a group carries a noble-use carriage, escorted by a dozen samurai with waxed crescent moon blades, moving away from Nanmi City.
In the exquisitely decorated carriage, Akihiro Shimizu wears a tall gray-black hat, dressed in loose blue and white Noble clothes, with the Shimizu family crest on his back, looking utterly confused.
'The Land of Water?'
'The disqualified son of a daimyo!?'
'Did I transmigrate? Am I really in the Naruto world?'
At this moment, Akihiro Shimizu's mood is almost collapsing.
He was originally an ordinary company employee, returning home from work as usual. Just a few steps outside the company gate, he suddenly felt something hit his forehead. Before he could react to what was happening, he felt a dizzying sensation. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in this ancient Japanese-style carriage, with memories not belonging to him added to his mind.
In those memories, today is the day when the Shimizu family, the daimiyo family of the Land of Water, chooses its heir.
The chosen one is not only the next head of the Shimizu family but also the next daimyo prepared by the Land of Water, a country surrounded by the sea.
As the current daimyo's youngest son, Akihiro was inevitably eliminated in the first round.
As a result, his status changed from the main family's direct line to a branch family, and he was sent to develop a collateral family on a small island within the Land of Water to consolidate the main family's ruling position.
'Damn it, I'm sent to the border right after transmigration?'
Akihiro is at a loss for words.
Although the Naruto world has powerful and magnificent ninja techniques, even immortality is not impossible, possessing infinite possibilities, he, a normal person who can be easily dealt with by an ordinary warrior without using a blade, and he didn't even unlock chakra, how can he strive to become stronger?
Akihiro is not like those kids who just crossed over and want to challenge the world with their new ninja powers. His mature mindset makes him skeptical about being in such a high-level martial world. Especially when he learns from his memories that the Third Kazekage seemed to have disappeared recently, he feels even more uneasy.
Knowing the plot well, he is well aware that the disappearance of the Third Kazekage is a significant event signaling the beginning of the Third Great Ninja War.
Once the Third Great Ninja War erupts, even the Land of Water, with its unique geographical location surrounded by the sea, will not be able to stand alone.
In this large-scale war affecting the entire ninja world, even the daimyo of the Land of Water may be assassinated by enemy nations at any time, let alone Akihiro, who has been sent to the border without the protection of his family. Even if he was suddenly assassinated by a ninja, it wouldn't be something difficult to accept.
Thinking of this, Akihiro can't help but shudder, and the thought of hiding in the deep mountains and forests crossed his mind.
However, at this moment, a series of mechanical notification sounds suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! Marine Recruitment System Activated!]
[Scanning the current world pattern. Scan complete!]
[Generating personal panel. Generation complete!]
Marine Recruitment System? What is this?
Akihiro Shimizu trembles all over, almost shouting in surprise at the sudden sound.
But then, he quickly realizes.
Could this be the essential system for those who cross over?
At this moment, the uneasiness about the unknown future seems to disappear with the appearance of the system. Suppressing his inner excitement, Akihiro trembles and says, 'Open the personal panel.'
A translucent screen appears in front of Akihiro.

[Ding! Triggered side quest: Power Value exceeds 100. Reward: one random draw in the lottery!]
Akihiro scanned the information on the screen. The mysterious mechanical voice echoed again, leaving him bewildered for a while.
'A novice gift package?'
Akihiro's attention was fully captivated by the content of the first notification sound.
In his previous life, during leisure time at work, besides watching movies and anime, he had read various system-based novels. According to the usual novel plot, novice gift packages often contained valuable items.
However, how does one claim this novice gift package?
Akihiro's gaze turned to the system panel, where a red gift box icon was blinking in the top right corner.
Should be this, right?
After a pause, Akihiro extended his right index finger and tapped on it.
[Ding! Novice gift package claimed successfully!]
Along with the gift box exploding like fireworks, the familiar mechanical sound rang again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining (Sword Skill - Sword Flow · Thirty-Six Pound Cannon!)]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining (One of 21 Great Grade Swords - Shusui!)]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining (Advanced Navy Officer Recruitment Order!)]
A white light flashed before Akihiro's eyes. A second later, the radiance dissipated.
In the carriage, Akihiro, sitting cross-legged, now had a dark purple scabbard on his knees.
An inexplicable feeling led him to instinctively pick up the sword. Gripping the hilt with his right hand, he slowly drew out a short section.
Swish!
The light and agile black-purple blade emitted a joyful and clear hum, filling the air with a sharp and domineering aura.
'Is this the Great Grade Sword, rumored to be one of only twenty-one in the entire One Piece world?'
Akihiro exclaimed, retracting the blade and laying it horizontally on his knees.
Then, he closed his eyes to sense the sword skills newly added to his mind.
After a while.
Akihiro Shimizu opened his eyes, a confident curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
He could feel that, as long as he wished, he could now perfectly unleash the exclusive sword skill of the pirate world's future greatest swordsman, Roronoa Zoro—One Sword Style Thirty-Six Pound Cannon!
From now on, he was no longer an ordinary person without the means to fight back against enemies!

Translator Notes: About MC's name: The translation says Akihiro Yagyu but, meh, it doesn't fit for the daimiyo family of Land of Water according to me so I changed it to Akihiro Shimizu. As 'Shimizu' in Japanese means 'clear water'.
