Chapter 11: Itachi vs ?(1)
Itachi glanced at Rias and her peerage. "I'll answer your questions tomorrow," he said flatly. "My food is getting cold."
Before they could respond, he stepped back into his house, calmly closing the door on there face.

The Next Morning
The faint rays of dawn crept into the room. Itachi stirred from his sleep, his senses sharpening almost instantly. As he stretched and sat up, a notification window in his mind blinked to life. His eyes narrowed slightly in surprise.
> [System Notification: +3,000,000 Shock Points. Source: Humans and Supernaturals alike.]
Hmm… interesting, Itachi thought, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. He dismissed the notification and began his morning routine. After a quick shower and breakfast, he donned his school uniform, tucking a folded newspaper under his arm.
On the way to school, another series of notifications chimed continuously.
> [System Notification: +10,000 Shock Points. Reason: Public reaction to newspaper headlines.]
Curious, Itachi opened the newspaper to skim the headlines. The bold print caught his attention immediately.
"Global Gold Reserves Stolen Overnight – An Unprecedented Heist!"
Below the headline was a detailed breakdown of the top five countries that suffered the most:
1. United States: $11 billion in gold stolen.
2. Germany: $9 billion in gold missing.
3. Switzerland: $7 billion lost from secured vaults.
4. Russia: $6.5 billion in gold vanished.
5. China: $6 billion in gold reserves emptied.
Itachi allowed himself a faint chuckle. "It really was too easy," he murmured. His Sharingan had allowed his clones to bypass security systems effortlessly. The plan, executed with flawless precision, had left the entire supernatural and human worlds scrambling for answers.
He folded the first newspaper and scanned another headline.
"134 People Killed Across Nearby Cities – Mysterious Assassin at Large."
The article described a string of unexplained deaths, all linked by their efficiency and lack of evidence.
The clones, Itachi thought. Effective as ever. He closed the newspaper and exhaled softly, a flicker of annoyance crossing his mind.
"I thought I'd need to handle these myself. But this world's primitive technology makes it unnecessary—especially in 2005."
Another notification chimed for the final time.
> [System Notification: +12,000,000 Shock Points in total has been generated.]
The accumulation of shock points was staggering, but Itachi barely reacted. Instead, his focus sharpened as he neared the school gates.

Kuoh Academy
Itachi felt it before stepping onto the school grounds—a powerful presence, one that made his senses flare. It was unlike anything he had encountered since arriving in this world.
This power far exceeds my own in raw strength, he noted. An ultimate-class devil, perhaps? Equivalent to a Kage-level opponent—or higher.
Remaining composed, Itachi walked toward the main building as students bustled around him. The whispers and murmurs about the mysterious events in the newspapers only added to his growing pool of shock points.
His clone, which had been monitoring the city, had dissipated.
Itachi froze for a fraction of a second, processing the information. The clone had relayed critical data before disappearing:
Over 100 devils were patrolling the area around Kuoh Academy. The most concerning figure, however, was a white-haired woman dressed as a maid.
White hair… Grayfia? Itachi wondered, his Sharingan activating briefly as he scanned the surroundings for traces of supernatural energy.
The sheer concentration of devils in the area wasn't unexpected, given what his clones had done.
Itachi walked into his classroom, taking a seat near the window, though his mind remained elsewhere. He now had two priorities: confront the overwhelming presence known as Grayfia and ensure no unnecessary conflict broke out.
"Looks like today is going to be… interesting," he muttered under his breath, his crimson Sharingan briefly flickering in the morning light.

Author's Note ( read last point if you are going to skip this note)
Hello, my dear readers! Ten chapters are complete, and I hope you've enjoyed the story so far. Here are things that are in my mind, and you are free to give suggestions.
1 Itachi will remain the central character, so he'll be featured in most chapters. However, as the title suggests, Naruto Recreation System, other Naruto characters will have their moments in the spotlight.
2. Itachi will replace certain scenes or roles originally belonging to other characters.
3. I'm not great at tracking shock point spending or item costs. As such, detailed transactions won't be shown. However, major purchases (e.g., Sage Body, Chakra upgrades) will be highlighted.
4.I need help differentiating the power levels between Naruto and High School DxD. For example:
Ultimate-class devils = Kage level.
High Ultimate-class devils (e.g., Serafall) = High Kage level.
If you've watched both series, I'd appreciate suggestions on how to balance and integrate their power systems. Let me know your thoughts!
