NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Rebirth of Shinobi world(2)
As I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the message on my phone, I considered replying. Before I could type anything, however, the translucent blue window popped up again, blocking my view.
---
[Would you like to begin the process of fully activating the system?]
---
I groaned. "Fully activating? Why not? I don't want to go to school anyway."
---
[Confirmation received. Initiating full system setup.]
---
The window flickered, and the first message of the activation process appeared.
---
[Step 1: Nation Creation.]
[The geography of the Naruto world and Earth is different. You must create the Five Great Nations to proceed. Select regions from this world that will serve as the foundation for these nations.]
---
I raised an eyebrow. "Create the Five Nations? This might be tough. But okay."
Curious, I tapped on the window, and a map of Earth appeared, complete with a drag-and-drop interface. It displayed the entire planet, split into countries.
"What should I do now?" I asked aloud.
---
[The Five Great Nations must be established for the Naruto world to function. Select regions that match their attributes and geographical significance.]
---
"Alright, I guess that makes sense. Let's start with Japan," I muttered. After all, Japan had always seemed like the most obvious choice for the Land of Fire.
I zoomed into the map and dragged Japan into the highlighted area labeled Land of Fire.
---
[Error. Region is too small to represent the Land of Fire. Try again.]
---
"What do you mean, too small?"
The system didn't respond to my complaints. Sighing, I tried again, this time dividing Japan into five regions—Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa—each corresponding to one of the five nations.
---
[Error. Region division does not align with Naruto world geography and they are too small.Try again.]
---
Frustrated, I grabbed my phone and searched for maps of Naruto's world. I found an overlay of the Naruto map on Earth and began comparing the two. From what I could gather, the Land of Fire needed to be vast, fertile, and home to a large population. The Land of Water needed to be an island or coastal region, and so on.
Unfortunately, dividing Japan into five nations didn't work, nor did using any single country.
"This isn't working," I muttered, tossing my phone onto the bed.
After an hour of trial and error, a realization hit me: I couldn't limit myself to Japan. If I wanted this to work, I needed to consider the entire world.
---
[Land of Fire.]
For the Land of Fire, I needed a vast, fertile, and populated area. My answer was to combine the Valeriepieris Circle with the United States. This mix of Asia's fertile regions where half of the world population lives and America's sprawling plains and cities gave the Land of Fire the size and influence it deserved.
I dragged the highlighted areas of Japan, China, India, Vietnam, and U.S. into the map.
---
[Land of Fire established.]
---
"Finally," I sighed, feeling a small sense of relief.
---
[Land of Water.]
The Land of Water, as per the Naruto world, was an island nation with a strong maritime culture. My mind immediately went to Australia. Surrounded by water and isolated, it was a perfect match.
---
[Land of Water established.]
---
[ Land of Wind.]
The Land of Wind was a desert nation, known for its harsh climate and sparse population. For this, I selected the Middle East and northern Africa—regions dominated by deserts like the Sahara and Arabian Peninsula.
---
[Land of Wind established.]
---
[ Land of Earth.]
The Land of Earth was mountainous and rugged, with steep terrains and a strong military culture. I chose the Himalayan region, including Nepal, Tibet, and parts of Central Asia, extending into Afghanistan and northern Pakistan.
---
[Land of Earth established.]
---
[Land of Lightning.]
The Land of Lightning was known for its mountainous coastline, thunderstorms, and rugged beauty. For this, I selected the Andes mountain range in South America, including countries like Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and parts of Colombia.
---
[Land of Lightning established.]
---
With the five great nations set, I turned my attention to the smaller nations.
---
[Minor Nations.]
I figured I'd start with the Land of Rain. It needed to be a place known for heavy rainfall, so I picked Amazon rainforest, one of the wettest places on Earth.
Next, the Land of Snow fit perfectly with Russia. As for the Land of Waves, I chose the Caribbean islands for their small, isolated communities.
---
[All nations established. Proceeding to Step 2.]
---
Leaning back in my chair, I exhaled deeply. The world map before me was now divided into a bizarre hybrid of Naruto's geography and Earth's regions. It was surreal, yet somehow satisfying.
