Chapter 55: Madara Reclaims His Eyes
The voice of the Lord God echoed.
As the morning light broke, the three children vanished in an instant, leaving Nawaki alone atop the wall.
"So tiring."
Stretching his arms, Nawaki let out a long sigh.
If he were to return to the Naruto world alongside them, the time flow in the world of the Titans would immediately return to normal. That would expose the time discrepancy to Konan and Kushina, who hadn't yet experienced reincarnation.
To prevent that, he needed to act during what was still just a "brief moment" in Konoha's time. He had to draw both Konan and Kushina into the Reincarnator Mission.
"Speaking of which, the world they're heading to is pretty interesting."
He spent 1,000 points to exchange for a [Reincarnation Talisman], initiating a new world—
The world of Cardcaptor Sakura.
Of course, nothing pairs better with lolis than magical girls. That's peak moe appeal.
As the world transfer began, Nawaki's consciousness entered as well.
Once inside, he reset the time flow of the Titan world to normal, completing a seamless handover between reincarnator missions.
Though it seemed a bit troublesome, in Minato and the others' perception, the reincarnator missions were happening simultaneously. Only Nawaki knew the real truth.
This time, without Nawaki participating, the reincarnator
mission for Konan and Kushina became significantly more difficult.
To make things worse, Nawaki casually tossed in a few newbie genin-level reincarnators to "assist" the girls in completing the mission.
The result… was a complete disaster.
With no overwhelming figure to lead the way, and Konan and Kushina both being veterans, they were ostracized by the newbies. The mission was a mess from the start.
Especially when the rookies encountered a peaceful, low-combat, tech-based modern society—they nearly lost control and caused a major public disturbance.
Only when a few mages appeared and directly eliminated some of the rowdiest newcomers did the chaos subside.
Although Cardcaptor Sakura takes place in a modern technological society, it still houses individuals who are absolutely overpowered compared to the likes of these rookie genin.
Watching the newcomers finally settle down, Nawaki let out a cold chuckle.
If I had tossed you into the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica...
You wouldn't last half a day.
Still, due to the interference of the new reincarnators, even Konan and Kushina felt overwhelmed by the situation.
The difficulty had spiked.
In the end, it was Kushina who had to reveal her identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Activating Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, she battled the fully manifested Clow Cards.
The fight leveled an entire school building—only then did they barely manage to complete the mission.
"This won't do…"
Nawaki frowned.
This mission had been an experiment of sorts.
The idea was to add in a few background reincarnators and establish a high-stakes elimination format, highlighting the brutal nature of the Lord God System and giving reincarnators stronger motivation.
But it was a total failure.
You think adding background characters costs nothing? Each one costs 500 points! Ten of them means he sunk 5,000 points into this plan—burning points like they grow on trees.
And those extras? With their miserable luck stats, even after uploading their techniques, they might only contribute 10 points each. There's no way to break even.
As for talent… how could they possibly compare to main story characters or even side characters?
Desire to grow stronger? People like Nagato and Minato, raised during wartime, don't lack motivation in the slightest. And you never have to worry about them making idiotic decisions either.
These are not fools—fools rarely become protagonists.
Slaughter? Death? Terror?
What a joke. Ever since Nawaki became the Lord God, he realized—every reincarnator is a valuable asset. Each one who grows stronger can work better for him. Lord Gods who casually kill off reincarnators are idiots.
After all… they're your labor force. Giving them some basic welfare benefits isn't a bad thing either. If you exploit them too hard, the whole system collapses.
Worried about backlash?
Have you ever seen a great CEO fire a talented employee just because they became too capable?
CEOs who think like that are either narrow-minded or insecure about their own ability.
And Nawaki? He was very confident in himself.
Put simply: Nawaki was the CEO of the Lord God Corporation, and the reincarnators were his employees.
Why should the Lord God System be soaked in blood and death? That's not a rule—it's just what past Lords chose to do.
Now that Nawaki was in charge, he made the rules.
He might be cold-blooded, but he didn't revel in killing. There was no need to turn the space into a bloodbath.
Annihilation should be like a nuclear deterrent—rarely used, but always looming as a threat.
Of course, giving reincarnators a reasonable sense of pressure and motivation was still one of his joys as a Lord God.
Nawaki generally avoided giving out truly impossible tasks—at the very least, he always left his workers a way out.
Decision made: From now on, he'd recruit only those plot characters with strong fate and potential—those he found either pleasing or worth taming.
With that future direction set, Nawaki felt a surge of clarity and satisfaction.
---
After completing Konan and Kushina's mission, he opened his eyes once more and found himself back in the Naruto world, inside his own room.
He hadn't taken a single step outside, yet he had orchestrated global events.
Grinning smugly, Nawaki closed his eyes again.
The monthly reincarnator missions were done.
But one hot potato still remained.
Uchiha Madara.
Nawaki hadn't forgotten about him.
After being thoroughly scammed in the One Piece world, Madara was now rushing toward Nagato, eager to reclaim his Rinnegan.
Nawaki had no objections to that part.
What he needed to prevent was Madara getting the Rinnegan back and then, on a whim, trying to extract all nine Tailed Beasts to start the Eye of the Moon Plan.
That… would require some tactical maneuvering.
As Nawaki activated his Mind's Eye and locked onto Madara's presence—
There he was, moving swiftly under the cover of dark clouds, heading straight for Nagato's location without the slightest deviation.
Clearly, when Madara had transplanted the Rinnegan into Nagato, he had installed some form of tracking ability.
A necessary precaution for a long-term plan like his.
In less than twenty minutes, Madara arrived at a lakeside, where a newly built wooden cabin stood nearby.
If not for the gloomy weather, this place might have been considered scenic.
As he approached, Madara's eyes wavered slightly upon seeing the children sitting at the lake's edge.
His Rinnegan… was finally within reach.
