……
Seeing this series of notifications, Su Xiao felt a sense of foreboding.
In Reincarnation Paradise, the Naruto world was a very popular world among Contractors. It had a complete power system and countless opportunities.
However, for Su Xiao, the Naruto world was somewhat dangerous. The reason was simple: his identity in the Naruto world was a core member of the Dawn Organization, and he had attacked Konoha alongside Nagato and Konan.
Before attacking Konoha, quite a few Konoha ninjas had died by Su Xiao's hands — Kurenai Yuhi, Kiba Inuzuka, and Kakashi had all been killed by him.
Not only that, but he had also previously attacked Sunagakure alongside Deidara, openly kidnapping the One-Tail. After the One-Tail was extracted, Gaara died. Whether he was later resurrected by Chiyo using a secret technique was unknown, but there was over a seventy percent chance he was revived.
If Gaara was resurrected, the hatred from having his home attacked, combined with personal grudges, meant he and Su Xiao were mortal enemies.
Su Xiao had offended both Konoha and Suna, and that wasn't the end of it — Kirigakure also wanted to eliminate him.
Su Xiao's starting point in the Naruto world was Kirigakure. Mei Terumi had intended to use Su Xiao, but Su Xiao naturally wouldn't accept being used. After killing Mei Terumi's trusted subordinate Ao, he left Kirigakure.
Of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Su Xiao had already offended three. As for Iwagakure and Kumogakure, due to Su Xiao's actions in capturing tailed beasts, their attitude toward him was certainly unfriendly.
Of the Five Great Ninja Villages, three were mortal enemies, and two were hostile. Therefore, entering the Naruto world was very dangerous for Su Xiao.
Balancing this danger was the fact that he could gain massive benefits in the Naruto world. Before leaving the Naruto world last time, he was one of the main members of the Dawn Organization and had close cooperation with Obito. Entering the Naruto world again this time, his influence within the Dawn Organization would definitely be considerable.
It was worth noting that Su Xiao had attacked Konoha alongside Nagato, and the capture of many tailed beasts was related to Su Xiao. Saying he was now a veteran-level figure in the Dawn Organization was no exaggeration.
If this identity wasn't enough, his cooperation with Obito would definitely give Su Xiao significant influence within the Dawn Organization. Back then, to win Su Xiao over, Obito had falsely claimed to be Uchiha Madara. Su Xiao didn't expose this but instead went along with it, establishing a cooperative relationship with Obito.
It could be said that within the Dawn Organization, the only person Obito somewhat trusted and could execute plans with was Su Xiao. Su Xiao had offended too many ninja villages in the Naruto world back then, which made Obito drop his suspicions about him.
Now, Su Xiao's strength far exceeded before. Back then, Su Xiao could assassinate Kage-level opponents in close quarters, provided he could get close. Using his blade techniques to kill Kage-level ninjas — even Kage-level ninjas didn't have particularly high physical durability. If they kept their distance, Su Xiao would be the one to die.
But now, Su Xiao had reached 80 points in four attributes and converted them into True Attributes. The combination of Blade Master and Azure Steel Shadow's various abilities gave Su Xiao the capability to fight Kage-level opponents head-on. As for victory or defeat, that would depend on performance in the moment.
However, against Kage-level ninjas like Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, Su Xiao would certainly lose, let alone later-stage characters like Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Madara, or Eight Gates Guy. The Kage-level in early Naruto weren't absurdly powerful, but later stages were different. In the later stages, a non-Six Paths Madara could single-handedly fight the Five Kage, showing the gap in strength.
As for the even stronger Kaguya, forget it. Su Xiao was completely no match for that kind of enemy now. That would require late Fourth Rank, or possibly Fifth or Sixth Rank. For now, Su Xiao could only fight against ordinary Kage-level ninjas.
The power system of the Naruto world could be divided into three tiers.
The first tier was roughly the strength of Second Rank Contractors, like early Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and others.
The second tier corresponded to late Third Rank combat power — this was Kage-level strength.
The third tier involved a jump, possibly the strength of Fifth to Sixth Rank Contractors.
Of course, the third tier was just Su Xiao's personal speculation; whether it was accurate was unknown.
Space-time power enveloped Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Amu. The bewildered Amu looked around in surprise.
Bang!
A "muffled hammer" struck the back of Amu's head. Amu's bull eyes rolled back as he lost consciousness.
Bubu Wang also took a "muffled hammer." Just as Su Xiao waited for the "muffled hammer" sensation to hit him, his hair suddenly stood on end.
Thud!
Su Xiao's head felt like it had been hit by a train. He became dizzy and disoriented. This transmission sensation was so intense, likely related to his attributes having been converted to True Attributes, or perhaps because it was an open world.
……
Splash, splash.
The sound of water reached his ears. Su Xiao found himself in a bedroom, lying on a bed. The room was somewhat damp, but the bedding covering him was very dry.
It was raining outside. Dark clouds covered the sky, making the room somewhat dim.
"You're awake."
A female voice came. Su Xiao turned his head and saw Konan wearing the Dawn Organization uniform.
Konan's blue hair was slightly wet, and she looked somewhat tired.
Su Xiao's mind raced as he tried to recall the situation from the attack on Konoha.
"Did we get the Nine-Tails?"
Su Xiao wasn't clear about the aftermath of Nagato's attack on Konoha, or their current location.
"..."
Konan remained silent, her expression somewhat guilty.
"Is Nagato dead?"
Su Xiao began probing.
"He passed away peacefully."
Konan answered euphemistically, unwilling to say directly that Nagato was dead.
"Killed in battle?"
"..."
Konan fell silent again. She couldn't very well say that Nagato had been persuaded by a genin from Konoha. Both were disciples of Jiraiya, and that genin had inherited Jiraiya's will, gaining Nagato's recognition. Konan knew this kind of reasoning wouldn't hold with Su Xiao.
"Tailed beast capture failed. Nagato died for unknown reasons. This is very abnormal."
Su Xiao sat up, the blanket sliding off. Just then, an elderly woman pushed open the door, carrying a tray with some medicine.
"You were severely injured and unconscious for about a month."
Konan provided a key piece of information: Su Xiao had been severely injured after the battle and had been unconscious for a month. This was likely Reincarnation Paradise's cover mechanism.
"That's not important. I want to know more about the situation with the attack on Konoha."
"..."
Konan fell silent again.
"Could it be that Nagato betrayed the Dawn Organization?"
Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. It seemed something very interesting had happened after he left the Naruto world.
