Alone and Infinite

World Difficulty: D—S+ (Normal—Hell)

Global environment: 0.67 times standard gravity

Opportunity for transcendence: 0%

World Introduction: War, slaughter, death. This is a world where ninjas live in the sunlight.

The ninjas who emerged from the war formed different ninja villages.

Among them, the five ninja villages of Konoha, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure are the most powerful.

With the Tailed Beasts, hailed as weapons of war, being distributed to various ninja villages, the seeds of an unprecedented war were quietly sown.

Peace has never truly come; every truce is merely the prelude to an even bigger war.

Special energy: Chakra

A primary form of life energy, one of the basic energy evolutions commonly found in the void.

It is inherent in the body and can be guided by willpower through training.

Because its content is determined by DNA, it belongs only to the primary stage of cell-based birth.

Main Quest: Integration

Mission objective: Obtain a recognized identity for Fire (Konoha), Earth (Iwagakure), Water (Kirigakure), or Wind (Sunagakure) within the specified timeframe.

Task Rewards: Different subsequent tasks will be unlocked based on the level of the acquired identity, with cumulative rewards.

Task period: 20 days

Penalty for mission failure: Deduct 5 points from all attributes, minimum reward is a main quest.

[Note: This world is a cross-rank derivative world. Entities exceeding the current rank's maximum value exist within this world. Please proceed with caution.]

[Note: This world is in standard mode; there are no rewards for intentionally killing your own apostles.]

[Note: This world is in Descent Mode. The Executioner title: Dragon Hunter has been detected. Your initial status has been upgraded accordingly.]

The world begins!

"Ok?"

It seems something new has appeared again: a cross-rank derivative world.

Li Xia looked at the introduction to the world in front of him, pinched his chin, and fell into deep thought.

Before this, he had actually experienced worlds with vastly different power levels, such as Dragon Ball.

But it was later discovered that the Hall of Light only captured a period of time from Dragon Ball, namely the time from when Bulma found Goku to when Goku and Tien Shinhan fought in the World Martial Arts Tournament.

This cleverly confines the world to a lower level.

But the Naruto world is clearly not like that. It seems that the Hall of Light has directly created the entire world.

And that spacetime self-check and imprinting are completely new concepts!

Li Xia's eyes seemed to be shining, and with the increase in his rank, a whole new world slowly unfolded before him.

It makes people want to immerse themselves in it and see a wider world.

Awoo was also looking at the world introduction and quickly noticed something different.

"Boss, the title worked! Our initial status has been improved!"

Without needing to be told, Li Xia noticed it immediately.

However, he had no additional identity memories in his mind, and the empty tent contained nothing else that could prove his identity.

Slowly waking up, Black Charcoal stubbornly searched the inside of the tent, only to find nothing but the tattered tent and the pile of things.

"Damn, isn't this a scam? They didn't give us a single useful piece of information—time, place, and identity—we have to figure it all out ourselves?"

As expected, outside the tent was a dense forest, with nothing but trees.

The tent stood alone on a patch of ground that could barely be considered flat.

Truly a desolate wilderness!

"No rush, the time and place are easy to arrange, we just need to find someone to ask."

Li Xia found a wooden stake that looked pleasing to the eye.

As long as you don't get thrown into jail at the start, everything is fine.

The main quest in front of me still glowed with a faint white light.

What he's more interested in now is what his true identity is.

For example, in the main storyline, why isn't there a 'Thunder' faction among the selectable factions?

Li Xia frowned and pondered for a while, then her eyes gradually brightened.

That's it!

"Awoo, go look in the sky and see if there are any settlements nearby."

The little green dragon soared into the sky, raised its binoculars in mid-air, searched carefully, and then shouted:

"Boss, there's a village to the southwest, about 15 kilometers away from us."

15 kilometers? That's pretty close.

At my own pace, even at a normal walking speed, it would take about an hour.

Without further ado, let's go!

In the forest where the morning mist had not yet dissipated, the leaves were still covered with the dew from last night, making them look exceptionally glistening.

The boots made a soft 'plop' sound as they stepped on the soft fallen leaves.

The slanting morning light pierced through the gaps in the umbrella-like branches and leaves, leaving irregular patches of light on the ground.

Occasionally, the crisp snapping sound of stepping on the branches would startle a few unknown birds.

They flew up from one tree and darted to a branch not far away, causing the branch to tremble slightly.

Cool dewdrops dripped down from the sky, and Heitan looked at the damp spot spreading on the tip of his nose and couldn't resist sticking out his tongue to taste it.

But soon, it was attracted by the little birds on the branches, staring at them intently, even its two little ears perked up.

Li Xia patted its little head and continued talking to Aowu:

"The initial status boost that comes with the Dragon Hunter title is definitely effective, which means I do have a status now."

There was no need to hide anything from Aowu and Heitan. Taking advantage of a break in their journey, Li Xia simply shared his guesses.

"But our main quest hasn't shown as completed—"

Awoo stroked his long beard and asked in confusion:

"Unless, this identity isn't one of the four factions mentioned in the main quest? But wouldn't such an identity be useless?"

Li Xia nodded: "That is indeed a possibility, but I don't think the identity the Hall of Light gave me is useless."

Because this does not conform to the fundamental logic of the Temple of Light's operation.

When asked about basic logic, Aowu pondered for a moment before nodding seriously.

Indeed, the temple does not do meaningless things, nor does it offer meaningless rewards and titles.

Therefore, the bonus from the Dragon Hunter title is definitely useful, but there are some issues with it in the current situation.

The Temple of Light did not directly and explicitly reveal the identity given to them.

"Mission conflict!"

Li Xia bluntly stated her thoughts.

Indeed, the tasks issued by the Temple of Light do not necessarily have to be completed in a rigid, step-by-step manner.

Back in the first-tier war trial, "The Lord of the Rings," Li Xia had already experienced 'skipping quests'.

The Black Arrow was originally a reward for a hidden chain quest.

According to the judgment, Li Xia only completed the first step, but directly obtained the Black Arrow.

He still vividly remembers the process by which the Hall of Light was judged.

"In other words, the first main quest for everyone entering the Naruto world is 'integration,' which requires acquiring an identity."

Li Xia's eyes gleamed; this was the part he was most familiar with, and also his favorite thing.

It's like trying to guess the game designer's ideas and design logic in a game.

"From this perspective, the initial identity bonus provided by the [Dragon Hunter] will conflict with the main quest."

The Temple of Light will not allow Apostles to directly complete the first stage of the main quest; this would violate the Temple's fundamental principles.

Li Xia paused for a moment: "If you were the Hall of Fame, what would you do?"

Awoo squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought, but Black Charcoal suddenly raised his claws:

"Meow!"

"That's right, in order to avoid conflict, the Temple of Light will manipulate the identity it grants!"

Li Xia nodded in satisfaction. The kitten had been trained!

Seeing that Aowu seemed to have thought of something, Li Xia said softly:

"It must give me an identity, and it must be a useful identity, but this identity cannot directly complete the main quest."

So, my identity is—"

Awoo was startled, and the mission prompt from the Hall of Light seemed to reappear before its eyes. In that instant, it felt as if a flash of inspiration had passed through its mind.

Having eliminated all the impossibilities, only one possibility remains.

Awoo opened its mouth and whispered:

"Cloud Hidden Village - Anbu?"

Li Xia smiled and nodded:

"And they should be the kind of secret agents who specialize in infiltration and undercover work."

Because only spies are not publicly recognized, but in reality they have identities.

"Fuck!"

Awoo couldn't help but swear, "The Temple of Light is so damn shady!"

If you can't get past this complicated situation, how could you possibly think of going to the dark side?

Is he going undercover?

Awoo's expression suddenly became subtle. It looked at its prince with a sly grin, winking and making faces.

Li Xia looked at Xiaolong's eyebrows flying up and down, and his beard curving into various symbols.

I couldn't help but laugh, but I suddenly stopped laughing after only two laughs.

Not an undercover agent?

Li Xia's expression suddenly became subtle as well.

To be honest, I was an undercover agent from the Hall of Transcendence within the Hall of Light.

"Meow?!"

Black Charcoal suddenly cried out and scurried up the big tree in a few quick movements, its little nose twitching as it sniffed at the air.

Its two ears also turned into airplane ears that folded backward.

Li Xia immediately suppressed the jumbled thoughts in his mind and his expression became serious.

The smell of blood was extremely strong, according to Black Charcoal.

"Meow!"

Li Xia's expression shifted, and she suddenly raised her head to look into the distance.

coming!

Four figures leaped swiftly from tree branches, approaching as fast as monkeys.

"Du"
