As the translucent system window flickered again, I braced myself for the next step in this convoluted game.
[Step 2: Integration.]
[The geography of the Naruto world has been successfully integrated into this world. All Five Great Nations and minor countries are now recognized by the system. Chakra, jutsu, and shinobi culture are ready to be introduced. Proceed to finalize the setup.]
[Finalized Capitals and Ninja Villages for the Five Great Nations.]
After seeing the message, I started to stabilize the capitals of these elemental nations in Naruto along with their ninja villages.
[1. Land of Fire
Capital City: Washington, D.C., USA
Hidden Village: Hidden Leaf Village (Tokyo, Japan)
2. Land of Water
Capital City: Wellington, New Zealand
Hidden Village: Hidden Mist Village (Sydney, Australia)
And so on.]
I clicked on confirm, and it was done.
---
After revising the capitals and village locations, I nodded with satisfaction.
[Would you like to unlock the rewards for completing the System setup?]
---
"Finally, something good!" I muttered, tapping on the Yes button.
---
[Congratulations, Host. You have received the following rewards for completing the Nation Creation Phase:]
1. Chakra Activation at Genin Level.
2. Basic Academy Techniques:
Clone Jutsu
Substitution Jutsu
Transformation Jutsu
3. Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu.

The moment I read the list, I felt a sudden rush of energy coursing through my body. My hands trembled as I instinctively made a hand sign, feeling the warmth of chakra flowing through me.
"So this is chakra," I whispered, clenching and unclenching my fists. My body felt alive—stronger, faster, and more connected to the world around me.
I stood in the middle of the room and decided to test it out.
"Alright, let's start with something simple."
I focused on the Clone Jutsu, forming the hand seals—Ram, Snake, Tiger. A puff of smoke appeared beside me, and a perfect copy of myself materialized.
"Not bad," I said, circling the clone. It wasn't solid, but it looked real enough to fool someone at first glance.
Next, I tried the Fireball Jutsu. I opened the window to avoid burning the room down, formed the necessary seals, and exhaled. A small, controlled burst of flames shot out of my mouth, dissipating into the air.
I smirked. "This is going to be fun."
---
[Would you like to access the System Shop?]
---
The words caught my attention. "Shop? Now we're talking."
I tapped on the option, and a new screen appeared, listing items, upgrades, and jutsu for sale.
---

---
My eyes locked onto the Sharingan section, particularly the One Tomoe Sharingan.
"10,000 points for just the first stage?" I muttered, shaking my head. "That's steep. But I guess it makes sense—this isn't supposed to be easy."
Looking at the list, I realized how far I still had to go. My current techniques were basic, and even though I had a decent amount of chakra, I was far from being able to compete with the monsters in this world.
The shop screen disappeared, replaced by another message.
---
[Shock Points: 0.]
[Generate shock value by introducing Naruto concepts into this world. The more significant the impact, the greater the rewards.]
---
"Looks like I'm starting from scratch," I muttered and looked at the system window again.
"Tell me one thing first: what was the reason for choosing the national boundaries of the elemental nations, and how will we hide these villages? Also, where will the people in them come from?"
[The villages exist in a separate small dimension. In fact, the villages were created just now when you created the elemental nations.]
[The reason for their creation was that the national politics in Naruto are very deep, and without them, you can't properly represent the Naruto world in this world.]
"What about the people in those villages? Were they also created by you?"
[No, they were not created by me. You need to reach Shop Level 2 for information on how you can fill those villages with people.]
"Okay, then. This means I have a long way to go."
Just as I was about to close the system window, my phone buzzed again. It was another message from my friend.
"Yo, Itachi, where are you? You know that Rias-senpai's group has added that Issei into their club, and everyone's talking about it!
Why don't we also apply to join?"
I frowned. Rias Gremory—one of the main characters of High School DxD. If Issei is in her group, that means the plot has already started.
I grabbed my bag, adjusted my uniform, and stepped out of the apartment. If I wanted to earn shock points, I needed to start making waves. And what better place to begin than Kuoh Academy, where all the madness began?
"Time to put this system to the test," I muttered, a smirk tugging at my lips.
