Naruto: Climbing Ranks to Rule the Ninja World! - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Promotion? Demotion? The System Arrives

dusk.

Konohagakure, Hokage Tower.

“Well, that’s it.”

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, with white hair and a pipe in his mouth, put down the documents in his hand and looked at the young ninja standing in front of him.

“What’s your opinion, Naraku?”

The young ninja, Shihouin Naraku scratched his messy black short hair, and a relaxed look appeared on his handsome face.

“Since Lord Hokage has made his decision, I have no objection.”

“It just so happens that I can relax a bit. I’ve been busy in the medical department and it’s tiring.”

“Haha, that won’t do.” Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke, “The Medical Department’s corpse disposal team and animal training and rehabilitation team still need you to manage them, and I believe you can do it.”

Damn!

Naraku had a grin on his face but cursed inwardly.

Taking away the most powerful and lucrative medical emergency team in his hands and giving it to the agency that handles corpses and the veterinary agency is simply disgusting.

“Who will be in charge of the medical emergency team? This organization is very important to Konoha Village, and no mistakes can be made.”

It’s not that Naraku looks down on other people in Konoha Village, the reality is that no one is more suitable than him to manage the medical department, and no one else can be better.

As Tsunade’s direct disciple, Naraku deserves the title.

What’s more, before traveling to the Hokage world, Naraku’s family ran a hospital and was very familiar with medical matters.

That’s right, Naraku is a famous time traveler!

Maybe it can’t be called time travel, but rebirth!

Or maybe it’s time travel and rebirth!

Naraku, who grew up peacefully, is a member of the Shihouin clan, one of the many ninja families in Konohagakure. Like other children in Konoha Village, he entered the Ninja School to study because of his ninja talent.

No one knew that when Shihouin Naraku extracted the first ray of Chakra, the memories of his ‘previous life’ began to awaken.

Naturally, he also recalled all the information about the Hokage world.

Although it was a pity that as a person who had been reborn through time travel, Shihouin Naraku found himself somewhat disappointed that he had no system to accompany him.

But since I died in an accident in my previous life, it’s a good thing that I can live another life now.

Even though the Hokage world is very dangerous!

Now that you are here, make the best of it!

However, as he grew up, Shihouin Naraku discovered that he was not without cheating abilities.

Perhaps because he was a human and a soul in two lives, his spirit and soul are extremely outstanding and powerful.

Being mentally strong means having more Chakra.

After all, Chakra is composed of spiritual energy and physical energy.

Coupled with Shihouin Naraku’s excellent Chakra control and learning abilities, these talents directly made him a famous genius in Konoha Village!

At that time, the only talented ninja who was as famous as him was Hatake Kakashi!

This was also the reason why Shihouin Naraku at that time could become Tsunade’s direct disciple.

But now, Shihouin Naraku, who took over the medical emergency team from Tsunade and developed it, is about to give up the organization.

“The two elders, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, will take over the medical emergency squad. They are already managing the funds allocated to the village by the Fire Nation, which will also be beneficial to the development of the medical emergency squad.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s answer made Naraku very suspicious.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu do have considerable power in Konohagakure, but they know nothing about medical ninjutsu.

No, Utatane Koharu was also a very good medical ninja.

But that was in the past. Shihouin Naraku had been in charge of the medical emergency team all year round. Not only did he have gradually improved medical institutions and a large number of newly developed medical ninjutsu, but these were simply not something that Utatane Koharu could handle now.

Times have changed!

As if seeing the doubt on Naraku’s face, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and continued, “Oh, Yajo Jōnin will also help the two elders manage.”

“Yashiro Ao?”

“Um!”

Naraku understood.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that Naraku understood what was happening, so he continued:

“The medical emergency team is of great importance. In order to avoid any unexpected situations…”

“Shihouin Naraku Jōnin, from today on, you are the Vice-Head of Konoha’s Medical Department!”

cut!

This appointment Naraku didn’t care at all.

Because the deputy minister doesn’t have much real power at all, it’s just that Sarutobi Hiruzen is worried about accidents and he provides insurance for the medical department.

“besides……”

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Naraku had suffered a loss, so he planned to compensate him. After all, Naraku was also a Hokage!

“Shihouin Naraku Jōnin, you will serve as the deputy captain of Anbu, in charge of Anbu 37!”

Is this old man crazy?

Konohagakure Anbu only has 70 members in total, and that includes the ‘roots’ that have been forcibly disbanded!

He is in charge of 37 people, which means that more than half of Anbu are under his jurisdiction.

Shihouin Naraku frowned and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was smiling, and said: “Actually, I…”

Before he finished speaking, a crisp prompt sound came to Naraku’s ears.

【bite–】

【Promotion system is open! 】

[The first rule of the promotion system: lottery mechanism…]

[The second rule of the promotion system: endless replication…]

……

[Promotion System Rule No. 9703: Promotion…]

[Promotion System Rule No. 97004: Demotion…]

……

[Congratulations to Host for successfully becoming the deputy director of the Konohagakure Medical Department…]

[Congratulations to Host for successfully becoming the deputy captain of Konoha Anbu…]

【…Win the lottery seven times! 】

[Host newbie gift package gives you five chances to draw prizes! ]

【Host has twelve remaining draws! 】

[System friendly reminder: It is more likely to find magical items when you draw ten times in a row! ]

……

The system’s continuous notification sounds appeared in Naraku’s ears, forcing him to stop talking.

“Um?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shihouin Naraku with a look that said you’re a little weird.

At this moment, Naraku looked very serious and responsible, as if he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders:

“clear!”

“I am willing to follow the orders of the Hokage-sama!”

“From today on, I will serve Konoha Village wholeheartedly and contribute my strength!”

“I will definitely not let anyone down!”

“ah?”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked bewildered, looking at Naraku whose attitude had changed drastically, the other party’s original dissatisfaction and laziness completely disappeared.

What happened just now?

Am I losing my memory because I’m old?

Of course, seeing Naraku’s excitement, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very satisfied:

“If you’re willing, fine.”

“As long as there are no accidents in the medical department, you should pay more attention to Anbu.”

“You have a lot of people to manage, and some mistakes may occur, but the task must be completed perfectly!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Naraku meaningfully, as if reminding him of something.

Normally, Naraku would have understood the hidden meaning, but at the moment his mind was focused on the system that suddenly appeared, and he had no time to think deeply about Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words.

After waiting for so long, the standard system for time travel and rebirth finally appeared!

Promotion system?

Does this system also depend on the level of position?

Naraku tried to suppress his excitement and continued to listen to Sarutobi Hiruzen’s rambling.

After a while, watching Naraku leave excitedly, Sarutobi Hiruzen wondered:

“Naraku likes Anbu?”

The members of Anbu are basically outstanding ninjas selected from Konoha Village, but due to the danger and confidentiality of the missions, not many people like this department.

Ordinary villagers are more afraid of Anbu.

He had thought Naraku would refuse to enter Anbu, but he hadn’t expected the opposite to happen.

“Hello, Lord Naraku!”

“Hello, Lord Naraku!”

“Thank you, Lord Naraku!”

Shihouin Naraku left the Hokage building, and every ninja he met along the way greeted him respectfully.

Even though he was a powerful Jōnin, he was not respected by so many ninjas.

The main reason is Naraku, who has been in charge of the medical emergency team for many years and has saved many ninjas. Everyone is grateful for his life-saving grace.
