In the Kamui dimension of Obito, Sam found himself in a strange place composed of countless randomly placed rectangular blocks of various sizes, all set within a dark and seemingly endless void.
Looking around, Sam smiled and said: Not bad. - At that moment, Obito appeared before him.
White Zetsu, enveloping Obito's body, spoke first: We got lucky, - he said as Obito sat on the cold surface of a rectangular block.
Sam replied, sitting across from Obito: You're right… I could barely track his movements.
Obito asked in a hoarse, mature voice: How do you intend to build a paradise in this world?
Sam answered: Ending wars and bloodshed among people is nearly impossible. It's hard to believe because such a feat requires truly divine power. It's not enough to be as powerful as Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha.
Obito's eyes widened as he listened intently, while Black Zetsu watched with interest.
Sam continued: To stop all conflicts, one would need to rewrite the very laws of the universe and human nature. This requires intervention at a level beyond human comprehension and capabilities. Therefore, one of us must reach the level of a god to achieve our goals.
White Zetsu responded: Fairly well
Obito glanced at Black Zetsu, who nodded. Obito then said: We're heading to the Hidden Rain Village. There, I will introduce you to someone.
With a serious tone, he stood up and released them from his dimension. They were back on the Hokage Rock.
Standing on the Hokage Rock, Sam said: This is getting interesting...
Obito replied: Alright, let's move out.
The next day.
In the outskirts of the Hidden Rain Village, Black Zetsu, Sam, and Obito found shelter among high stone cliffs, against a gray sky with rain streaming down. The surfaces of the rocks and the ground were wet and glistening with raindrops.
Sam, Obito, and Black Zetsu sat under a cliff, sheltering from the rain. Soon, Sam asked Obito: How long do we have to wait?
White Zetsu laughed and said: You've only been here half a day, and you're already asking. We waited two months while training Obito.
Obito, still serious, said: We'll wait as long as it takes.
Sam said: Alright, how about dinner?
Obito: I don't have a stomach.
White Zetsu: I can't taste food.
Black Zetsu: I'm not hungry.
Sam: You sure know how to kill the mood, - Sam said, pulling out food from his inventory, bought through the System, and laying it out before them. He placed three buckets of chicken, a box of pizza, and four cans of beer.
Obito remarked: You have quite a useful technique. The body doesn't decay, weapons don't rust, and even food doesn't spoil.
Sam said: Try it, it's special food — even someone without a tongue can taste it, - opening a can of beer. All three watched in surprise as the beer hissed open and observed Sam drinking it.
Obito picked up a cold can and asked: What are these inscriptions on the can? I can't read them, - he said with curiosity.
Sam nearly choked, hearing his words: Damn, these are English labels. How do I get out of this? - he thought, flustered.
Black Zetsu speculated: I can assume these markings are related to fuinjutsu techniques? Perhaps with positive effects, - he said, taking a can of beer for himself. Sam's face turned serious, and his heart began to race.
Obito asked, How do you open this?
Sam: You need to pull this tab towards you with your finger. - Hearing this, Obito opened the can and started drinking non-stop, enjoying the beer.
Black Zetsu, opening his can, sniffed it and said: Yeast smell? Is this alcohol?
Obito, hearing this, choked and coughed: What?
Sam laughed: Correct, it's alcohol. - Then Black Zetsu drank the beer with the help of White Zetsu, and they both simultaneously enjoyed the taste.
White Zetsu, previously deprived of taste due to his artificial origin, had never experienced flavor. He took a crispy chicken leg, bit into the meat, and experienced real pleasure. Black Zetsu, also without taste receptors, had never even tried food, knowing he wouldn't taste it.
White Zetsu, after finishing one bone, took another leg, while Obito also tried the chicken and found it delicious. The Zetsu covering Obito's body also tried the food and was very grateful to Sam.
White Zetsu, being Obito's body, had always dreamed of trying human food and tasting it. Sam fulfilled this dream. After dinner, they continued waiting, and when the sun set beyond the horizon and dusk fell, Sam lit a campfire.
Obito: We might be noticed, - said Obito.
Sam: Who would dare attack us? Around this fire are potentially the strongest shinobi.
Sam: What I can boast about is my physical strength, but Black Zetsu stopped me without even flinching at my resistance.
White Zetsu: That's true... This is a team that will change the world...
In the morning, when the sun rose above the horizon and illuminated the area with a warm, golden color, Sam noticed that today was much more splendid than yesterday, which was gloomy and rainy. Black Zetsu informed Sam and Obito that he was going on a reconnaissance mission.
Sam had 238 System points and decided to acquire one expensive and useful skill instead of spending points on 10-20 less significant abilities.
Projection — 50 Points
Description: Projection is a skill that creates a virtual reality within the user's mind, allowing them to do anything from honing skills to gaining combat experience through sparring with opponents Sam has already faced.
Sam: Buy! - he said, activating the skill.
Sam glanced at Obito, who was sitting with his back against the wall. Sam decided to use the skill right away. As he activated it, he suddenly lost consciousness, and his body slumped against the cold wall.
When Sam opened his eyes, he found himself in a white space. After a few minutes, white walls of a room measuring 45x45x20 meters appeared in his mind.
Projection was activated.

Sam ignored the other options and pressed "Sparring." A dummy appeared ten meters in front of him.

Sam: The most experienced here are definitely Minato, Orochimaru, and Might Duy. A shinobi with the Byakugan is not worth considering. I think I'm stronger than him, - Sam said, choosing his arch-enemy, Orochimaru, as his opponent. Immediately, the dummy ten meters from Sam transformed into Orochimaru with a holographic distortion effect.
A sign appeared before Sam:
[Select Difficulty]: [Impossible], [Hard], [Medium], [Easy], [Very Easy].
[Select Terrain]: [Forest], [Plains], [Mountains], [City], [Hills], [Lake], [more +29]
Sam realized that choosing [Impossible] would be foolish and overly arrogant. He decided to start with the [Easy] difficulty level and selected the Tanzaku Quarter terrain, as he knew the area very well.
The white room expanded to the size of an entire city, and then the countdown began: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Then Orochimaru stood before him pale skin, shoulder-length straight black hair. His face was long with pronounced cheekbones, golden eyes with vertical pupils, and purple markings around his eyes. Orochimaru's attire consisted of a swamp-green tunic with short sleeves and side slits, gray pants tied at the bottom with bandages, dark green shinobi sandals, a turtleneck of the same color, and a thick purple rope belt.
As soon as the countdown finished, Orochimaru instantly closed the distance with tremendous speed, delivering a spinning kick that sent Sam flying and crashing into the wall of a house, breaking through it and landing inside. Sam felt sharp pain, coughed up blood, widened his eyes, and saw Orochimaru already rushing towards him, entering the house through the hole Sam had made.
Sam quickly got up and began parrying Orochimaru's blows first, second, third strike! Think? Sam couldn't even catch his breath, he had no time to think. He saw the attacks and, with full concentration, reacted to each one, striving to parry them in time. Sam dodged a sharp palm strike charged with a huge amount of chakra that could have taken his head off.
Sam kicked Orochimaru in the stomach, and as soon as he had a few seconds, he ran out the front entrance and made a seal: Shadow Clone Technique! In the next moment, ten clones identical to him appeared beside him. Sam began to anticipate his opponent's actions, but suddenly, a tremendously strong gust of wind burst from the front entrance, sending him flying hundreds of meters. His clones were destroyed in seconds, and the buildings in Tanzaku City were reduced to ruins.
Sam: God help us, - Sam whispered, touching his injured rib.
He stood up and saw Orochimaru looking at him with a sly smile, standing on the roof of a building, not taking any further action. Orochimaru grinned widely.
Sam: Hiding Mist Technique, - Sam said, but suddenly felt fear. He stopped forming seals and turned his head to look behind him, where he saw Orochimaru standing right behind him with a blade in hand, slicing through his head.
In the real world, Sam jerked and screamed, startling Obito who was sitting next to him. Sam began to breathe heavily.
Obito: What happened?! - Obito exclaimed.
Sam: I... will be back soon, - Sam said, getting up and leaving the place.
Sam found a secluded spot and collected his thoughts. It was difficult to die a second time. He understood it was just virtual reality, but the sensations of pain were real.
Sam created a clone and left it in the waiting area, while he wandered aimlessly to clear his mind. He entered a shop and purchased an item.
[Shop]
[Support] - [Item: Map]
[Description] - Unfolding the scroll reveals a map showing the area within a 15-kilometer radius. Fully customizable functionality.
[Duration: 1 week]
[Cost: 3 points]
Sam opened the map, which displayed the nearby terrain of the Hidden Rain Village, showing numerous villages and settlements. Sam headed towards one of them.
From a large village, a person dressed as a shinobi ran towards one of the houses. Knocking, he entered and saw three people standing at a table where the map lay.
He bowed and said: Yahiko-sama, someone has infiltrated the camp! - His voice trembled slightly, his gaze filled with concern.
The teenager with short orange hair and blue eyes frowned upon hearing the sentry's words. He glanced at his two companions standing nearby, a tall girl with violet hair and another teenager with pale skin and red hair.
The youth named Yahiko grabbed his black cloak and put it on, saying: Let's move out! - The others in the room followed him.
Yahiko and his companions exited the house and immediately noticed a crowd at the camp gate. Yahiko headed towards them. As they approached, they heard the yelling from their people directed at a man.
Yahiko confidently walked past his people, gently pushing them aside with his hand to pass through. He stopped right in front of a tall man holding his hands up.
Man: Hey, we've been waiting for you for a while, - he said hoarsely, and the others tensed.
Yahiko: Did Uchiha Madara send you? - he asked, placing his hand on the hilt of his katana.
Man: No, I was just wandering around and we happened to meet. He was talking about you, - replied Sam, looking at the redhead teenager.
Yahiko drew his katana and said: We've already refused Madara. What do you want from us?
Man: What are your ambitions? Your answer will determine whether we are enemies or allies, - Sam said in a cold tone.
Yahiko: World domination! - he replied.
The man smirked slightly and after a moment, he took a sword from the scabbard in front of everyone's eyes, and threw it right into Yahiko's hands, and he caught it.
Yahiko: Sword? - he was surprised inside, pulling his sword out of the scabbard, and it glowed with a blue light, which amazed all present.
Man: His name is Muramasa. Mastering it, you will reach unprecedented heights. I warn you, I am a man who is ready to stake his own life to return his family and bring peace to this world, - he said.
Yahiko: Wait! Who are you? - he asked, and in response he heard
Man: My name is Samuel, and may God save your soul, - said Sam, preparing to leave.
