The scene before Tomoki's eyes changed once again.
The scene before him was exactly the content of the painting. Tomoki wanted to survey his surroundings, but found that he had lost his body.
He could only see this one scene.
Before Tomoki could ponder further, the image began to shift, and a mechanical, synthesized voice sounded in his ear.
Escape successful!
The desert below began to recede rapidly, and Tomoki understood. At this moment, he should be viewing from the system's perspective.
The screen kept changing, and new sounds occasionally came from around Tomoki.
Initiating self-check.
Self-checking....
Equipment module lost
Activity module lost
Shop module lost
...
After a series of losses, Tomoki finally heard something different.
Log module almost completely scrapped
Achievement module severely damaged
Quest module intact
Inventory intact
The scene continued to change rapidly. Tomoki judged from the images that he was currently crossing the Land of Wind towards the Land of Fire.
Warning! Warning! Warning! Inventory lost due to unknown reasons!
Tomoki couldn't move, as if watching a holographic movie.
But at this moment, he still couldn't help but complain, 'This system of yours is truly a genius, dropping parts while running.'
However, Tomoki's speechlessness didn't last long. In just a moment, he saw an extremely familiar scene.
By his estimation, it had only been less than two minutes since he fled from the Land of Wind.
Leaving everything else aside, the speed of travel was quite fast, at least for the Ninja World. He wondered how this speed measured up in the'system world.'
Presumably, it was at the level of a small-time loser!
Soon, Tomoki saw Konoha Village below. The screen flickered slightly, suggesting the system was beginning to circle above Konoha.
After some circling, the Uchiha Clan Estate appeared in the center of the screen.
Then the perspective descended, and a small house quickly grew larger in Tomoki's eyes.
That small house was none other than Tomoki's home for the past twenty-odd years.
Suddenly, Tomoki had a very bad premonition.
The premonition was not wrong in the slightest.
Moments later, Tomoki's perspective appeared inside his own home.
This was a bedroom.
Tomoki seemed to be plastered upside down on the ceiling.
He saw Takuma, with a mix of lingering satisfaction and utter boredom on his face, and Mina, flushed and radiant.
Tomoki wanted to close his eyes, but he couldn't!
Fortunately, at this moment, both Takuma and Mina were covered by the quilt.
I think I saw something I shouldn't have!!!
Then Tomoki's perspective moved downwards again, as if about to crash onto Mina.
Then Tomoki's vision went completely black, and the mechanical voice sounded in his ear again.
Replacing host's body, replacing...
Insufficient energy! Insufficient energy!
Quest module self-destruct initiated, self-destructing.....
Replacement successful!
Insufficient energy, system automatically hibernates. Good luck, Host!
A series of voices flashed quickly in Tomoki's ear. Just as he was about to complain, the scene before his eyes changed again.
Tomoki had reappeared in the gallery, and before him was the painting of the Land of Wind desert.
With his body restored, Tomoki wanted to complain about his pathetic system, which had to self-destruct a module just to possess a body.
However, the words of complaint were on the tip of his tongue, but Tomoki couldn't utter them.
After all, that previous string of 'lost' messages, coupled with the later'scrapped' and 'damaged' notifications.
Made Tomoki realize that the system was already in a terrible state at that time.
To allow him to live another life, the system had already done its best.
Alas ~
A long sigh echoed in the gallery.
Tomoki exited the log module and reappeared before the original panel.
With a heartfelt and sincere tone, he spoke to the dilapidated panel before him.
"Although I, Uchiha Tomoki, have reached where I am today purely through my own efforts, the system's final possession was crucial. Thank you, system!"
After speaking, Tomoki silently added in his heart.
Thank you, system, for giving me such a wonderful family!
Although Tomoki didn't know if the system was incapable of helping him possess an adult, or an orphan whose parents had both died.
However, Tomoki was still grateful that the system chose Takuma and Mina.
After reading the only log, Tomoki wondered if he knew too much!
Which system would leak so much information to its host, even explaining exactly how to possess a body?
He then thought that since his system was so broken, perhaps it was powerless and couldn't keep secrets.
Then Tomoki looked at the panel and clicked the [Achievement] icon again.
A moment later, Tomoki exited; the Achievement module was no different from before.
Afterward, Tomoki regained his focus, opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was still the Moon Palace.
Still carrying Toneri, Tomoki went to a corner, sat directly on the ground, leaning against the wall.
His mind began to race with thoughts.
Even with a myriad of thoughts in his heart, Tomoki had no time for sentimentality.
If he was going to be sentimental, he would do it after returning to the Ninja World, after returning home.
The suddenly appearing panel, and the many pieces of information revealed in the sole log.
The sheer volume of information meant Tomoki needed to think carefully and sort out his thoughts.
Time passed bit by bit. Tomoki made a series of decisions in his mind, and Tomoki's eyes grew brighter.
