In Naruto, the System Asks Me to Entrust Pokémon

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples, suddenly realizing that his odds of victory had dropped to less than ten percent.

Even if he managed to overpower Ryo, it didn't mean he could take his life.

With an ability like Teleport, even if Ryo couldn't win, he could always escape.

Shaking his head, Hiruzen sighed deeply and chose not to dwell on it further.

Instead, he turned toward Danzo, his eyes filled with restrained fury. "Danzo, you better have a good explanation for this."

Danzo's expression darkened, and he suppressed the murderous intent brewing inside him before nodding. "I understand. I will resign from the Council of Elders."

Hearing this, Hiruzen nodded. "Good. Then get some rest."

He didn't push Danzo too far, nor did he strip him of his position as head of the Root.

He knew that if he removed Danzo from that post as well, the man would surely rebel.

Besides, resigning from the Council of Elders meant Danzo would no longer have direct influence over Konoha's governance. That alone was a significant concession.

Danzo shot Hiruzen a cold glance before turning around and leaving with his subordinates.

Not only had he failed to achieve his goal, but he had also suffered a humiliating defeat. How could he possibly stay there any longer?

Hiruzen didn't stop him. Instead, he turned to the surrounding shinobi and began explaining Pokémon in detail, emphasizing the benefits that Ryo had previously mentioned.

Then, he subtly "persuaded" them, ensuring they understood the value of Pokémon.

As expected, after a little brainwashing, excitement began to ripple through the crowd.

"Hokage-sama, I agree! There's nothing wrong with civilians owning Pokémon!"

"Yeah! With Pokémon, our village's safety would improve significantly!"

"That's right! I fully support this!"

A chorus of voices followed.

Hiruzen nodded, though deep down, he couldn't help but sigh.

He never expected that in the end, he would be the one convincing the shinobi of Konoha to accept Pokémon…

Even though he himself wasn't entirely comfortable with it.

Of course, there were still dissenting voices among the crowd, but no one dared to speak up.

After witnessing Dragonite's overwhelming power, disagreement was no longer an option.

If opposing wasn't an option, they might as well accept it and reap the benefits.

Meanwhile, those who had already bonded with Pokémon—like Might Guy—grinned widely.

For them, neither status nor political maneuvering mattered. They simply wanted to see Pokémon spread throughout Konoha.

Pokémon House

Cynthia was carefully observing a Pokémon egg when she suddenly sensed something.

Turning around, she saw Ryo and his Pokémon suddenly appear and greeted him casually. "Back already?"

Ryo, still shaken by the experience of Teleport, nodded. "Yeah, I'm back."

His first time experiencing Teleport was truly something else.

It felt as if he had blinked, and in the next second, he was at Pokémon House.

Internally, he resolved to master this skill as soon as possible.

Up until now, he had been focusing on training his psychic energy and combat abilities, but he had never practiced Teleportation. That needed to change.

Cynthia looked at him curiously. "So? Did everything go smoothly?"

Ryo smirked confidently. "Of course! Who do you think I am? If I'm involved, how could it not go well?"

Cynthia rolled her eyes. "Oh really? Weren't you the one complaining just a while ago about how hard it would be to convince Konoha?"

Ryo's smirk froze.

He regretted ever confiding in Cynthia about his doubts.

He wasn't wrong to be cautious!

He couldn't just storm into Konoha and threaten everyone into submission. That would make him seem insane.

He needed a proper excuse, a justification for his actions.

And now that he had it, everything had fallen into place.

Instead of arguing, he waved a hand dismissively. "Forget it. I need to draw more Pokémon."

Tomorrow, many people would come to obtain Pokémon—not just civilians, but also a large number of shinobi.

He needed to prepare. Otherwise, things would get really awkward if they ran out of Pokémon.

Cynthia watched him leave and simply shrugged before returning to studying the Pokémon egg.

Dragonite headed to the training area in the backyard and immediately started working out.

For him, getting stronger was the only thing that mattered.

That determination was the reason he had reached level 90.

Meanwhile, Gardevoir poured a glass of water and walked toward Ryo's room.

Unlike Dragonite, Gardevoir spent its time balancing training and taking care of things around Pokémon House.

It had practically become the caretaker of the entire place.

It even managed the Pokéblock supply for the Pokémon living in the back mountain.

—

Inside his room, Ryo took the glass of water from Gardevoir and nodded in thanks.

Then, he turned his attention to the system panel.

"230,000 points… I wonder if this will be enough for tomorrow."

He frowned slightly at the balance.

At first glance, it seemed like he could draw over 200 Pokémon, but it still felt insufficient.

After today's events, the number of people interested in getting a Pokémon would skyrocket.

Even though civilians might take their time, the shinobi were definitely going to rush in tomorrow.

He wasn't sure if 200 Pokémon would be enough.

"Well, once more people get Pokémon, my points should increase rapidly."

His progress had been slow at first, but that would soon change.

Since the Pokémon House opened two weeks ago, he had only managed to accumulate around 200,000 points.

If not for the fact that most customers had been notable characters from the main story, he might not have even reached that amount.

"Alright, no point overthinking it. Let's begin the draws."

"System, give me a 200-pull!"

He needed to save some points for Pokéballs and other essentials, so he couldn't use up everything.

"Understood, Host. Starting the draw."

As the system spoke, the lottery wheel appeared and began spinning.

"You have obtained: Rattata, Caterpie, Weedle, Ekans, Sandshrew, Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂…"

A long list of Pokémon names echoed in his mind.

Ryo's brow furrowed.

"System, is it really this hard to get a pseudo-legendary or a starter Pokémon?"

He had already gone through dozens of names, yet they were all common Pokémon.

The system, busy spitting out names, ignored him.

One by one, Pokémon continued appearing.

Then—

Two special names flashed before his eyes.

Ryo's eyes lit up instantly.
