Start with Naruto and Build a Shadow Empire

Transported from Earth into the turbulent world of the Hidden Leaf Village with a powerful gaming system and elite gacha subsidies, Chen Xide begins his grand ascent in Year 35 of Konoha by opening a humble yet addictive spicy hot pot shop. As the Second Great Ninja War erupts, he expands his burgeoning Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce into the lucrative arms trade, leveraging explosive tags to accumulate massive war funds. By Year 37, his enterprises span the continent, laying the groundwork for the ultimate clandestine power: the Shadow Village. Operating from the dark margins of the shinobi world, Chen recruits elite figures—ranging from the angelic Konan to specialized operatives—and utilizes game-changing traits like the Uzumaki constitution to augment his forces. As he pulls the strings behind the scenes and watches his influence ripple through the nations, the path is set for total world conquest, paving the way for even greater horizons.
