Without the slightest hesitation, Shuichi shouted, “Quick!
Everyone, get in the cars!
Drive!” Several engines roared to life.
The vehicles sped down the highway and raced out of Kurouzu-cho.
The instant Shuichi and the others crossed beyond the town’s boundary— [Ding!
Reincarnators have successfully suppressed the core source of the curse, forcibly broken the spatial blockade, and enabled numerous key characters and civilians to survive.] [Reward: 1 B-Rank Side Plot and 6,000 Reward Points!] The Main God’s voice sounded inside Tsunade’s mind.
“ROOOOAR!!!” Suddenly— A terrifying roar pierced through hundreds of meters of earth and erupted from beneath Dragonfly Pond.
It wasn’t a sound any human could possibly make.
There were no words or meaning within it.
Only overwhelming malice, enough to make reality itself feel distorted.
The instant Shu heard it, his expression changed drastically.
Through his Sharingan, he saw an indescribable black shadow beginning to awaken deep underground.
The sudden eruption of power made it feel as though his eyes had stared directly into some nameless horror hidden at the bottom of an abyss.
Shu clutched his eyes.
Two streams of bloody tears ran down his face as his Sharingan was forcibly deactivated.
“What the fuck…” ‘Don’t tell me there’s actually some incomprehensible entity buried under this place?!’ Tsunade, who was desperately maintaining the barrier, was under equally horrifying pressure.
“W-What the hell is underneath us?!
I…
I can’t hold it anymore!!” Her face twisted as an immense force slammed violently into the Four Red Yang Formation.
Crack…
Crack!
Fractures instantly spread across the entire barrier.
“Pfft!” The moment the formation began collapsing, the backlash struck Tsunade hard.
She coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Her three shadow clones stationed at the other positions exploded into white smoke under the same impact.
RUMBLE—!!
The Four Red Yang Formation completely shattered.
Its purple walls burst apart into countless motes of light.
Without the barrier suppressing it, the curse energy erupted with even greater violence.
All the water in Dragonfly Pond was suddenly drained away.
The lakebed collapsed inward, revealing a pitch-black hole so deep that its bottom couldn’t be seen.
The storm overhead, which had only just begun weakening, roared back to life.
This time, it was ten times more violent.
An enormous spiral formed above Kurouzu-cho, large enough to cover not only the entire town but even the surrounding mountains.
The concentration of the curse instantly reached a terrifying critical point.
Shu endured the stabbing pain in his eyes and stared at the apocalyptic scene before him.
Yet the corner of his mouth slowly curled upward.
“Cough…
That’s one hell of a tantrum.” “I only tried locking you up for a little while.
Did you really have to go this fucking crazy?” He struggled to look down at the Samsara Watch around his wrist.
The countdown had just reached its final second.
“But…” “In the end, I still won!” [Ding!] [Mission time limit reached: Survive in Kurouzu-cho for 5 days—Completed.] [Main Mission Reward: 1,000 Reward Points.] [Reincarnator survival confirmed.
Return teleportation initiating…] Two beams of white light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping Shu and Tsunade separately.
A second later, the light contracted.
Just before the monstrous spiral completely swallowed the area where they had been standing, both of them vanished without a trace.
Only the enraged roar remained behind.
…
As the blinding white light gradually faded, Shu felt the scene before his eyes flicker.
Then all the horrifying noise around him disappeared instantly.
In its place came absolute silence.
He slowly opened his eyes.
A vast white plaza stretched before him.
Everything around him was pure white.
There were no walls and no visible sky, only a perfectly smooth floor beneath his feet that reflected light like a mirror.
And floating silently in the center of the plaza was an enormous sphere of light.
Except…
“Why the fuck is the giant ball pink?!” Shu stared blankly.
‘Don’t tell me the Main God is some old geezer with a maiden’s heart?!’ Even while complaining internally, Shu hadn’t forgotten the important part.
He raised his head toward the enormous pink sphere.
“Main God!
Full-Body Restoration!
Immediately!” The moment he finished speaking, a pillar of light descended from the sphere and completely enveloped him.
Shu instantly felt an extraordinarily pure energy flood into his body.
The agonizing pain in his Sharingan disappeared immediately.
Even the traces of curse energy that had accumulated inside him over the past several days were completely cleansed.
Only a few seconds later, the pillar of light vanished.
Shu stretched his arms and legs.
His physical and mental condition felt better than ever.
Landing back on the ground, he let out a long breath.
“So this is the Main God Space.” Shu looked around.
Aside from himself and the giant pink sphere, the entire plaza was completely empty.
“Hm?
Where’s Tsunade?” He frowned.
Still confused, Shu closed his eyes and directly connected his consciousness to the giant sphere of light.
In an instant, an enormous amount of information poured into his mind.
The rules of the Main God Space, mission settlements, and countless other details were laid out clearly before him.
Shu carefully sorted through everything.
“I see…” “So this isn’t the original version of the Main God Space.” “The overall framework is similar.
There are still Reincarnation Missions and an Exchange System, but many of the core rules are clearly different.” “Or rather…
more restrained.” The first difference concerned the rules for returning from missions.
According to the information transmitted by the Main God, every Reincarnator who completed a mission would return directly to their own independent Personal Terminal Space.
In other words, this pink sphere belonged to Shu alone.
Even members of the same team couldn’t meet one another here.
‘Is this setup meant to stop veteran teams from farming newbies?’ Shu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
But that wasn’t all.
The rule that surprised him the most was that Reincarnators weren’t trapped inside the Main God Space after completing a mission.
They could return to their own home world.
For Shu, that meant the Naruto world.
And every rest period in their home world lasted a fixed thirty days.
Only after those thirty days passed would they be forcibly summoned into the next mission.
“This is way more humane than those systems where you can never go home unless you spend a fortune in Reward Points buying extra days!” Shu couldn’t stop himself from smiling.
This meant he could exchange rewards inside the Main God Space, then return to the shinobi world to live, train, and strengthen himself.
That was true travel between two worlds.
Of course, everything came with a price.
The Main God’s rules stated that after each mission ended, a Reincarnator could only remain inside the Main God Space for a very short period.
And during that time, they were only allowed to make one consolidated exchange.
