Nawaki appeared to have countless options when browsing the Lord God System's exchange menu. Everything under the "Divine Authority" category seemed available for trade. But once he factored in his self-imposed conditions, the number of viable choices dropped dramatically.

After all… Nawaki himself was—

Invincible.

That's right. As a Lord God of a new era, Nawaki was a being fundamentally beyond harm.

If he ever faced an enemy he couldn't defeat directly, he could simply spend points to designate them as a Reincarnator, banishing them to another world…

Or, if he felt particularly cautious, he could even build a private Reincarnation Space and hide inside it for eternity—completely undetectable to anyone.

But that would be too cowardly for his taste.

Though he had ascended to the role of Lord God, Nawaki wasn't like the emotionless light-orb deities of other infinite systems. He was still human—a living being with pride, curiosity, and desires.

He wanted to strengthen his real self not just out of necessity, but also a subtle sense of pride.

After all, he was the Lord God. He could erase anyone who broke the rules during a mission with divine authority.

But what if someone tried to assassinate Nawaki in the world of Naruto?

He couldn't rely on Lord God powers every time—especially if he truly wanted to become Hokage and unite the entire shinobi world. Opposition would be fierce, and someone like Madara might even make a move against him.

Most importantly…

After watching the Reincarnators fight epic battles day after day—Nawaki's hands were starting to itch for combat.

"If I just wanted raw power, the easiest option would be to trade for Saiyan blood, stack it with Eight Gates, free recovery, and boom, instant power spike in the millions…"

He thought about it seriously for a moment… and then gave up on that path.

Too boring.

Nawaki didn't need to be omnipotent in raw numbers. He preferred abilities that were interesting, efficient, and gave him the flexibility to adapt across different scenarios—while still saving on points.

With those limitations in place, the list of options became much shorter.

"There has to be some ability out there that fits these unreasonable standards…"

Patiently flipping through the Lord God Exchange Panel, Nawaki's eyes suddenly lit up.

---

[Eye of Observation (SS-Rank Exchange)]

[Origin: Katanagatari World]

[Description: Known as "the eye that can deceive ancient masters with a glance." Any ability—be it a skill, martial art, text, or even a bloodline trait or racial power—can be fully understood and mastered instantly upon seeing it once.]

[Effect: Instantly learn any SS-rank or lower ability (excluding actual SS-rank) after visually witnessing it. Learned skills operate at 150% of their original effectiveness. Can store up to five S-rank abilities at once—or more, if lower-ranked.]

[Cost: 100,000 points]

"Perfect…"

This was effectively a supercharged Sharingan, allowing Nawaki to copy anything he laid eyes on—even Kekkei Genkai.

With this ability, he'd never lack for power below the SS-tier again.

The only downside?

The Katanagatari world the ability originated from wasn't considered particularly high-level. So, even after the Lord God's enhancement, the Eye of Observation could still only mimic SS-rank or lower abilities.

Still, that was more than enough for Nawaki.

In its original form, the Eye could only copy S-rank and below, and at best, replicate them exactly. With the Lord God's enhancement? He got a 50% performance boost.

"Yep. This one's perfect. It'll save me a ton of points later."

Though he felt a slight pang of regret over the hefty price, nothing else came close in terms of value and utility.

Nawaki confirmed the purchase.

He opened his eyes.

…No change.

The Eye of Observation wasn't like the Sharingan, Rinnegan, or Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. It didn't alter his appearance at all—which made it the perfect stealth power.

First test: time to look at Uchiha Madara, who was meditating inside his compound.

Does viewing him through the system count as "seeing with my own eyes"…?

He focused.

The moment his gaze locked on—

Massive amounts of information surged into Nawaki's mind, and in just a few seconds, his eyes morphed into swirling purple spirals.

The Rinnegan!

Originally an S+ level dojutsu, once copied and amplified by 150%, it now hovered right at the edge of SS-rank.

As Nawaki expected, the system screen counted as his own vision. The Eye of Observation's effect had triggered flawlessly.

"Nice…"

From now on, he could copy any ability a Reincarnator used—without spending even a single point.

Got bored of one technique? Just swap it out.

Absolute cheat.

He deactivated the Rinnegan. His pupils returned to their normal clarity.

But when he glanced at his point total—now reduced to 30,000—his eye twitched.

"Ouch. This stings my heart a bit. That's 100K gone… Damn!"

He could only hope Madara's next rampage brought in enough returns to make up for it.

Speaking of which, in addition to killing strong enemies, uploading rare items, or conquering worlds…

Destroying a world could also earn points, right?

For ordinary worlds, conquest was better than destruction.

But places like Attack on Titan or Resident Evil—already on the brink of collapse—might actually be more profitable to wipe out completely.

He filed that idea away for future testing.

After tidying up his tea table, Nawaki moved it back inside. Watching the sun set, he stretched lazily.

"The Reincarnator Missions are over. It's gotten a little quiet…"

Tsunade was leading a military campaign in the Land of Wind. She wouldn't be back for at least a month.

And young Kushina? She'd been training non-stop lately, determined to catch up in strength. As a result, she hadn't visited in days.

Not that she could catch up anyway—Nawaki was literally cheating with a system.

"What a tragic tale…"

He could still observe Tsunade's daily life through the system, but it wasn't the same as being with her in person.

"Is this… loneliness?"

"Wait a second—it's almost August 2nd. That's my sister's birthday!"

Nawaki's eyes lit up.

He changed into fresh clothes and left the house, heading straight for Hiruzen Sarutobi's office.

"If I'm feeling bored, I might as well visit the front lines in the Land of Wind."

Not only could he celebrate Tsunade's birthday…

He could test his newly acquired Eye of Observation, earn military merit, and lay the groundwork for becoming Hokage.

Besides, he hadn't even really used Wood Style properly yet!
