Simultaneous Transmigration: We Share a Role-Playing System

"What! The reinforcement supply team responsible for transporting supplies has run into trouble?"

In the Land of Hot Springs, at the Konoha front-line command post, Hyuga Hiashi, the temporary commander of the Kumogakure defense line, received intelligence from his younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, and was immediately alarmed.

"Brother, this is urgent intelligence from the Third Hokage's direct subordinates in the Anbu. It can't be wrong. Lord Torifu has refused to be followed by the Anbu. If he encounters the elite Kumogakure, things might go wrong!"

Hiashi Hyuga was only in command temporarily; if Akimichi Torifu's injuries hadn't worsened, he should have returned a month ago.

The Japanese national football team was already under immense pressure lately, and now with this incident, they feel like their heads are about to explode.

Fortunately, he still possessed the basic qualities of a commander, so he immediately found a map and began asking for directions:

Where are they now?

Hyuga Hizashi quickly located a spot slightly to the north near the border of the Fire Hot Spring.

"Here is my elder brother."

Upon seeing this location, Hiashi Hyuga quickly estimated in his mind that it was only about 25 kilometers away from their current command post. If they went fast, they should be able to catch up.

So he immediately sent his younger brother with the branch family squad, along with elite ninjas from the Inuzuka and Aburame families, to provide support.

After they set off, Hiashi Hyuga examined the map and sand table and discovered a problem.

Thirty kilometers to the west where the incident occurred, numerous traces of Iwagakure ninja had been discovered. According to intelligence from Konoha, Iwagakure had recently been making significant moves on the front lines, mobilizing a large number of ninja.

According to rough estimates, the number is approximately between eight thousand and ten thousand.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

On the border of the Fire River, in the forest battlefield, Akimichi Torifu and Nara Locke are locked in battle with twenty-four Cloud Village Jonin.

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, Akimichi Torifu had honed his fighting skills over several decades. Although he was far inferior to Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was still not someone an ordinary Jonin could easily defeat.

If there were only these twenty-odd Cloud Recluses, he might not be able to defeat them, but escaping wouldn't be a problem. He might get injured, but it wouldn't be too serious.

But now that we have Locke, maybe, just maybe, we can use his hidden trump card to wipe out all the pursuers before the Raikage arrives!

The moment the thought flashed through his mind like a spark, the explosions of lightning, the icy waves of water, and the sharp whistles of wind had already interwoven into a net, occasionally mixed with the sparse flames of fire and the rock spikes of earth, sweeping across the entire battlefield in an instant.

Towering trees, requiring several people to encircle, were successively cleaved in half by chakra energy, some even uprooted entirely, causing the layers upon layers of foliage that blocked out the sun to crumble violently. Sunlight burst through the gaps, suddenly piercing the dense, intertwined canopy, and slanting across the ravaged battlefield, clearly illuminating the scattered wood chips and the faint glow of chakra.

Akimichi Torifu, transformed into a giant, turned his entire body into a weapon. His fists and hardened hair shattered the Cloud Village's escape techniques, and the shockwave from his punch instantly repelled a group of Cloud Villagers.

Although Akimichi Tokifu's combat strength is considerable, he is ultimately facing the elite of Kumogakure. Even if they are not as strong as him, their combined strength should not be underestimated.

A Cloud Village Jonin specializing in Lightning Release seized the opportunity and instantly unleashed a wide-range Lightning Release ninjutsu.

"Lightning Release: Wide-Area Lightning Net!"

Before he finished speaking, the purple lightning-like chakra instantly condensed and precisely intertwined among the trees, forming a lightning net several feet long. It avoided friendly forces without the slightest error and trapped Akimichi Torifu firmly in the net.

Taking advantage of this moment, Nara Locke slipped into the shadows and disappeared without a trace. The Cloud Village members were helpless against him and had to avoid the shadows where he infiltrated.

Although they were locked in a fierce battle with Akimichi Toru, they kept a watchful eye on his movements. Unexpectedly, the next second, a figure slowly materialized from the shadow of the Jonin who was using Lightning Release.

The lightning release jonin felt his whole body stiffen and he couldn't move an inch. Even though he couldn't turn around, he already understood his predicament.

He had fought against the Nara family before and knew about the Shadow Imitation Technique, so he never expected that Locke could actually infiltrate the shadows and even emerge from his own shadow!

This is incredibly sneaky. They sneak into the shadows so no one can hit them, then move into someone else's shadow, and come out to use Shadow Imitation to hard-control them. How are you supposed to fight that?

If the Nara clan were all like him, there would be no need to fight the Fourth Shinobi World War. One Nara junin would bring two genin, control the opposing junin as soon as they meet, and the genin would finish them off.

At this moment, Yunyin, whose mentality had exploded, just wanted to shout out his heartfelt words.

"I typed %#￥%……@@￥%!"

Locke merely gave a cold laugh as he pulled himself out of the other's shadow, a long sword formed from shadow materialized in his hand. He then wrapped all his chakra and Haki around the blade, making the shadow blade even sharper and more shrewd.

"A ninja's duel is essentially a battle of intelligence. You don't need to blame yourself for losing to me."

He then stabbed the Cloud Village Jonin in the heart with a backhand stroke, causing the man's face to change drastically, and he coughed up blood, his face twisted and ferocious with pain and resentment.

Locke leaned down, his lips lightly brushing against his ear, his voice deep:

"To be honest, you guys aren't bad, it's just a pity you ran into... me."

Although what Locke said was true, how could the Cloud Village know how high Locke Nara would rise in the future? They took it as his ultimate mockery after his victory. The Jonin was in excruciating pain in his chest and was so choked by these arrogant words that he couldn't catch his breath and died on the spot.

Meanwhile, the Cloud Village companions who were still besieging Akimichi Torifu quickly realized something was wrong, abandoned their attack on Akimichi Torifu, and returned to his aid.

"Karui!!!"

"Damn it! What time is this?! Why is his shadow manipulation technique so strange?!"

"Forget about that fat old man from the Akimichi family! Kill this Nara brat first!"

Only now did the Cloud Village truly realize that this Nara clan ninja, who defied all reason, was their most deadly threat. They immediately surrounded him, determined to kill him on the spot.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on his hands, not daring to relax for a moment, but Locke did the opposite, not making any hand seals at all, as if he was just willingly offering his neck to be slaughtered.

Just as they were wondering if he was a shadow clone, a chilling smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and at the same time, the shadow beneath his feet began to surge and tremble violently like boiling lake water.

[Shadows Dancing in the Ironthorn Forest]

A dense array of shadow spikes suddenly surged out from Locke's body, sweeping across the surrounding space and engulfing nearly twenty Cloud Hidden Ones, instantly inflicting heavy damage.

Only a few Cloud Village members reacted quickly, forming hand seals and using the Substitution Technique. They staggered to the giant tree on the side, leaning against the trunk and panting heavily, their eyes filled with the shock of surviving a disaster.

They managed to escape, but their dozen or so companions had no chance of survival. The Cloud Shadows who had surrounded them earlier had suffered nearly half their losses, all of them pierced through vital organs by Shadow Assassins on the spot. Like the three companions who died mysteriously at the beginning, their bodies were covered with bloody holes, and they fell heavily to the ground, completely lifeless.

The remaining elite ninjas, skilled in taijutsu, were all wounded, some deep, some shallow, bleeding profusely, their breathing disordered. Meanwhile, Akimichi Torifu had already freed himself from the lightning net's restraints and returned to the battlefield.

When the group of Cloud Villagers raised their eyes again and fixed their gazes on Locke, only one bewildered and fearful question remained in their minds—

What right does he have?
