Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

"So, have you made up your mind?"

In a secluded forest in the Land of Fire, Bai Jue asked the hooded man in front of him.

Tonight, Bai Jue and this mysterious figure have arranged to meet at this rendezvous point.

"I……"

The hooded man hesitated.

"Let me tell you, a major battle is about to break out between Konoha and Kirigakure. Don't you like that girl? This is your only chance to outdo her!"

Bai Jue continued.

"Konoha and Kirigakure are at war again? How did you know?"

The hooded man asked suspiciously.

Is it possible for someone to have precognition of news of war between two countries?

"If I say there will be a war, then there will definitely be a war. Otherwise, how can I convince you that you will receive the power I promised you?"

Bai Jue said confidently.

Of course, White Zetsu does not have the ability to predict the future.

It knew perfectly well that Konoha would go to war with Kirigakure, simply because Madara Uchiha, the mastermind behind it, would control everything!

"Okay... alright. How strong can you make me?"

The hooded man was moved; his desire for power—or rather, his desire for the girl—now surpassed everything else.

"Become as strong as your ancestor, Uchiha Madara."

Bai Jue smiled sinisterly and said bluntly.

"Unless someone with power comparable to Hashirama Senju is reincarnated, you are the strongest person in the world!"

Hashirama Senju...

Reincarnation?

That's 100 million percent impossible!

That means...

"Even stronger than Minato?"

He asked.

Bai Jue was taken aback, not expecting him to ask about Minato.

But White Zetsu nodded nonetheless.

After all, all it needs now is to make him believe in itself.

"Even better than that!"

Although Bai Jue himself was not entirely sure, he said it with absolute certainty.

The hooded man was finally persuaded by the White Zetsu, whose offer was beyond imagination.

He didn't dwell on it; the thought of possessing Madara Uchiha's strength occupied his entire mind...

In fact, this hooded fellow never thinks one step ahead:

Someone promised me something so good...

but.

What is the price?

"I agree. When will you give me the power?"

He said urgently to Bai Jue.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it won't be long. I'll contact you again!"

After Bai Jue finished speaking, he turned and left the meeting place.

Only after reaching a place completely out of sight of the hooded figure did the White Zetsu burrow underground.

"What an...easy-to-control guy! He'd sell out everything for his own benefit; how selfish!"

Bai Jue commented.

But a moment later, Bai Jue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After all, if that person hadn't had such a weakness in their character, they wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily.

"Anyway, this is exactly the kind of person we're looking for! Hehe!"

White Zetsu muttered to himself as he quickly traversed the underground.

At the rendezvous point in the grove, the hooded man was still there.

A little while later.

He looked up at the night sky and said fiercely:

"This time... I'm going to take back everything that's rightfully mine!"

Then, without looking back, he headed towards Konoha.

……

Back to the chaotic show.

He has been devouring the dead in the cemetery one by one since just now.

The first batch of targets that Luanxiu chose to devour were all old Dengs who had died a very long time ago.

These people's rewards for devouring all have one thing in common:

That is, the probability of obtaining a useful reward is extremely small!

According to normal people's thinking, if you want to become stronger, you should start by consuming the recent dead.

They had only been dead for a short time, and even though they had already been cremated, they could still receive some form of reward.

Why is Luanxiu trying to make himself fail?

the answer is……

Luanxiu is preparing to take a big gamble...

Twenty minutes ago, Ranxiu checked the rewards for the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, that he had devoured.

Although Tobirama's reward wasn't as good as the first Hokage's, it was still very appealing:

[Potential consequences of consuming the current target]

[I. Significantly increases chakra levels, 51.33% probability (penalty for targets being consumed and for prolonged death time has been automatically adjusted; rewards have also been automatically adjusted)]

[II. Learn the ninjutsu "Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation", "Mutual Explosive Tags", "Dark Travel Technique", and "Four Red Yang Formation" (22% probability)]

[III. Greatly enhances affinity with water-style chakra, significantly reducing the difficulty of developing specific water-style ninjutsu (Water Release: Great Exploding Water Wave, Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Explosion, Water Release: Heaven's Cry, Water Release: Wave Riding Strike, etc.), 16.67% probability]

[IV. After learning the ninjutsu "Flying Thunder God Technique", variant ninjutsu of Flying Thunder God (Flying Thunder God Slash, Flying Thunder God Lightning Guide, Flying Thunder God Instantaneous Spin Technique, etc.) will be unlocked after a certain period of time, with a probability of 7.84%]

[5. Permanently changes perceptions of the Uchiha clan, fixing affinity with any Uchiha member to 0 (2.15% probability)]

[VI. Other random effects, 0.01% probability]

The same wide variety of rewards.

Obtaining any one of options two, three, or four would be enough to dominate one side of the current ninja world.

As for option five...

Ran Shu can only be described as Tobirama Senju, who hates evil Uchiha brats!

It's unbelievable that such an ideologically imprinted option would appear in the system rewards...

Judging from the probability of this reward...

The system only imposed two types of penalties on the options.

This makes the current probability seem less extreme than Hashirama's.

However, it can also be seen that Hashirama's "receptor cell incompatibility penalty" is the biggest factor affecting the reduction of Hashirama's rewards.

The probability of Ran Shu seeing option two of Tobirama's rewards is—

At 22%.

A question suddenly came to mind:

Is the system's probability truly random or spurious?

"If I fail to draw the rewards from other deceased people a dozen times in a row, maybe it will serve as a stepping stone for successfully drawing Tobirama's reward? After a series of failures, success is inevitable!"

Luanxiu had a sudden inspiration.

So immediately, Luanxiu began searching for those dead people with an extremely low probability of success and started his experiment.

……

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on drawing result 1, "Slight Enhancement of Chakra Strength"! The reward is being distributed.]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on drawing result 1, "Slight Enhancement of Chakra Strength"! The reward is being distributed.]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on drawing result 1, "Slightly Enhanced Fire Release Chakra Affinity"! The reward is being distributed.]

Finally, after more than ten devourings...

Luanxiu has achieved a nineteen-consecutive-breaks streak!

He drew the most useless reward every single time, even from a purely experiential perspective.

Even with all his chaotic attempts, he didn't feel like his skills had improved...

"Alright, we've already padded so much, it's time to try and see if this last one will work!"

Ranshu mustered his courage and walked once again to Tobirama Senju's grave.

And then...

It was a period of quiet...

"Um, isn't this a bit too much gambling?"

Luanxiu hesitated for a moment, then thought to herself.

That's right. Although Ran Shu was very confident just now, he wavered a bit when he was actually preparing to devour Tobirama!

Given that Yekura had a 50/50 chance, Ranshu still dared to take a gamble.

But at that time, Ranshu was penniless, so even if he didn't draw the Scorching Release, Ranshu wouldn't feel bad.

But now, the reward in front of Random Show...

This is no small matter!

Even if it doesn't work out, I still got option one that increases chakra...

Wouldn't that make people regret it to death?!

Finally, after several internal struggles...

To be on the safe side, Luanxiu went to another lonely grave.

Sakumo Hatake, the legendary White Fang of Konoha, was buried in the most inconspicuous place in the cemetery after committing suicide.

Coincidentally, the reward representing White Fang's strongest ability was—

[Second, learn the complete Hatake clan swordsmanship, and when wielding the White Fang Blade, you can unleash the weapon's full power. You will also learn the ninjutsu "White Fang Body Flicker Technique" (22% probability).]

—The probability is exactly 22%!

Ranshu plans to use Konoha's White Fang in place of the Second Hokage for a preliminary test.
