As Sasuke stood alone, his mind was awash with confusion. A system suggested he could travel to a different world, but he felt like an idiot. At first, he refused to go to a new world; having started his journey in the Naruto world, if he were to leave, it would render his earlier choice a waste. If he left now, and in just one month here, the third generation would perish at Orochimaru's hands.
He didn't know how long it would take to return, and if everyone was already dead by then, what would be the point of going to a different world? It seemed better to risk everything and attack the third generation tonight to try and destroy the village. He didn't know if he would be successful or fail, but he was certain that many would die. And as a butterfly effect, these deaths would start a snowball effect that would destroy this village sooner or later.
"No, no, no, you can't go and start a suicidal attack."
"Are you reading my mind?" he asked, irritated by the system's interruption.
"Aren't you asking a little late? If I can't read your mind, how am I able to talk inside your mind?"
"Shouldn't you say you couldn't read my thoughts?"
"No, I don't think so. If I couldn't see all of your thoughts, it would be really bad if I misunderstood any of your commands. And it's not like I am some living person who is going to share your thoughts with everyone around you."
"So, you mean you can share your thoughts with other people who are not around me?"
"Of course not. But for you to settle in other worlds for a short or long time, I will need to talk to other people to arrange many things, like where you are going to appear, your identity, the money you need to survive, and some connections. I couldn't just throw you into a new world without any preparations."
"But I don't want to go to another world, at least not now."
Understanding what he was thinking, the system replied, "I do have a solution for your problem, but it will make it a little hard for you to come back."
"??"
"The Goddess Capture Plan. Currently, you just need to get five female elite ninjas, but if you can accept my task of goddess collection, I can make sure when you come back, the time in this world will not have moved for a single second."
Thinking about it, if he could come back at the same time, there shouldn't be any problem. Since the mission was about goddess collection, it wouldn't be that simple. He decided to ask.
"The Goddess Collection Mission? What's that about?"
"It's about finding females who are recognized by the system to have strength and beauty and who have the potential to become goddesses. You need to bring them to your harem. There will be no situation where you just knock out some women to complete your mission. You need to convince them to join you."
Sasuke expressed his apprehension, acknowledging the daunting nature of the task ahead.
"That's why it's a long-term mission. You just need to accept, and when the time comes, I'll send you to these worlds to get these goddesses."
"Why should I do something that difficult? Instead, I could just go outside, use my skills now, and try to destroy this village."
The system warned him that his actions could lead to his demise, and even if he managed to survive, he would be consumed by the shadows of his revenge, neglecting any future missions.
"I just feel weird. Earlier, when you gave me two choices, I picked the one that sent me back in time so I could get the remains. Now that I am leaving, I feel like my first choice was a waste."
"No, it's not. You just don't like the feeling of regret. I can tell you that your choice has given you at least three to five years. If you play your cards right, you will have at least five years to take revenge, slowly or fast. You can decide. If you had left this world and come back after getting stronger, you would have just destroyed this world because, at that time, there wouldn't have been many people alive for you to take revenge on. But now, you can leave this world and come back, take a small revenge, leave again, and then come back, making lots of preparations for your big revenge theme."
Listening to the system, he had to admit that it was a very good suggestion.
"So, how am I going to start?"
"Initially, you need to consider the available approaches. One option involves sending your soul to a new world for rebirth, which is known for its cost-effectiveness. Another option involves the system arranging your identity in the new world to ensure a smooth transition without any complications upon your arrival. However, you will need to pay for system points. Before you can leave that world, for example, if you want to return from DC World, you will need at least 2.5 million points. However, if you want to leave the world without any superpowers or magic, you will only need 10,000 points."
After considering both suggestions, he chose the second option to avoid feeling vulnerable. Who knows, had he chosen the first, it might have led to another trauma.
