The inability to form a team had caught everyone off guard.
Fortunately, Minato had a big heart and hadn't planned on relying on Nawaki to begin with, so he took it in stride.
Kushina, however, bit her lip and fell silent for a moment. Then, she suddenly reached out and tugged on the hem of Nawaki's robe, a hint of pleading in her expression.
"Big Brother Nawaki… can you not team up with anyone else for now?"
"Hm?"
Nawaki blinked in surprise, turning to her. But what he saw was her biting her lip, eyes filled with resolve.
"I'll work hard. I'll become strong enough to team up with you, I promise. Until then… will you wait for me?"
Her voice grew quieter and quieter.
Without Nawaki's help, her recent mission with Konan had been incredibly difficult—narrowly surviving by the skin of their teeth. She understood better than Minato just how brutal the Reincarnation Missions could be.
She also knew this was a selfish request. If Nawaki didn't team up with anyone, he'd be facing mission after mission alone, with all the dangers that entailed.
So, as she spoke, her voice unconsciously dimmed.
But… she really wanted to team up with him.
"Alright."
Just as she was about to give up on asking, Nawaki's voice rang out.
Kushina looked up in shock—only to see him watching her with a faint smile at the corners of his lips.
Overcome with joy, she let out a cheerful cry.
"That's great!"
Seeing her so happy, Nawaki couldn't help but flick her forehead with his finger.
"Don't get too excited. I improve fast. If you want to catch up, you better work hard."
"Don't underestimate me! If I get serious, I can get stronger really quickly too!"
Having received Nawaki's promise, Kushina was in great spirits. She patted her flat chest confidently and beamed.
Nawaki smiled but didn't crush her enthusiasm.
He'd stay solo for now. Once Kushina reached his level, they'd form a team.
That is… if she could really catch up to him.
Though the team issue had been a bit heavy, both Kushina and Minato were naturally upbeat types. Before long, they moved past it and started discussing how to improve their strength.
Not long after—
Minato asked Nawaki a few questions about ninjutsu, then returned to his residence to continue training. He was determined to make Flying Thunder God useful in the next mission.
Kushina also mentioned she was heading off to train, and secretly returned home to commune with the Nine-Tails sealed inside her.
If she could better access the Nine-Tails' power, reaching B-Rank wouldn't be too difficult.
With the two of them gone, Nawaki finally had some peace.
He took a quick glance through the screen to check on Madara, who was still flying through the sky.
Nawaki pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
"Oh right—Big sis and the others' next mission is an Ascension Mission. If they complete it, their authority level will rise, and they'll gain access to the Reincarnation Space. I should build the space ahead of time!"
Reincarnation Space!
This kind of personal, independent space was a standard feature designed for Reincarnators. Without a private space, you'd be embarrassed to even speak to your 'workers'.
Normally, Reincarnators could use it to trade items, share experiences, recruit allies, form large teams, and even build factions...
In short, the Reincarnation Space was the true foundation of the Lord God System.
It was also one of the basic milestones of becoming an official Lord God.
Nawaki had long wanted to create one, but the amount of points required had always held him back.
Now, thanks to the generous contribution of Madara and the Three Sannin, he finally had enough to build one!
He opened the exchange interface, navigated to the "Lord God" category, and selected the "Private Space" option.
He set the dimensions to a cylindrical space: 100 meters in diameter, 5 meters in height. Then, gritting his teeth, he hit "Exchange."
100,000 points—gone in an instant.
At that moment, it felt like an explosion went off in his mind.
He closed his eyes and sensed it clearly: somewhere in the rift between countless realms, a crack had quietly formed… and it was expanding.
Soon, under the influence of mysterious power from the system, the rift grew into a dark, cylindrical space—exactly matching the parameters he had set.
There was now an intangible connection between him and the space, allowing him to observe it with ease.
With a thought, Nawaki vanished from the tea room.
He appeared inside the dark, newly-formed space, and for a moment felt a strange illusion—
As if his thoughts alone could shape this world.
"Light."
He softly uttered the word. Instantly, a miniature sun appeared before him—bright, soft, and easy on the eyes.
Staring at the little sun in delight, Nawaki finally understood what "private space" truly meant.
In this new world, he was its god.
His word was law.
"This feature… it's probably not just for the Reincarnation Space. It's clearly prepping for actual world creation."
Nawaki suddenly felt the 100,000 points were well worth it, easing the pain of such a massive one-time expenditure.
Honestly… using this just as a Reincarnation Space felt like a waste.
He shook the distracting thoughts out of his head.
It was time to build the Reincarnation Space.
Since he already had a plan, the construction went smoothly. It didn't take long for the once-dark space to transform.
From the outside:
At the top center of the 5-meter-high cylindrical space floated a massive sun, casting a pillar of light straight downward like a streetlamp, illuminating a 30-meter-wide circle.
Nawaki spent 3,000 points to add a Stat Scan function.
Anyone who stepped into the light could spend points to view all of their attributes—including but not limited to: physical body, mental state, skills, talents, equipment, and combat rating.
With this info, reincarnators could target their upgrades more efficiently.
The scanner also improved Nawaki's own system interface, letting him view reincarnators' data in greater detail.
Outside the light pillar was a 30-meter-wide Trade Zone, specifically designated for item exchange.
Once inside, all reincarnators would be shrouded in mist, with their appearance, size, and voice unified to preserve anonymity. Combat was strictly forbidden, making it an absolute safe zone.
Only within this area were point-based trades between reincarnators allowed.
Nawaki took a 5% transaction fee based on the item's point value.
If someone wanted even more security, they could list the item directly in the light pillar as a public bounty, viewable to all reincarnators at all times.
However, public trades came with a steeper cut—15% of the item's value went to Nawaki as commission.
And even if the item didn't sell, a 5% listing fee would still be charged.
