Itachi sat cross-legged in the dimly lit safe house, the crows around him restless, sensing the shift in his aura. The system interface shimmered before him, a new section unlocked after his recent victories and purchases.
[System Shop — Advanced Features Unlocked][Summoning: Ninja Units]
He leaned forward, crimson eyes scanning the new options. Scrolls and menus displayed dozens of familiar faces — shinobi from the Naruto universe, each with their own abilities, jutsu, and combat experience. ANBU, Jōnin, even Kage-level shinobi — all available to be summoned into this world as his personal subordinates.
The prices flashed in bold numbers — thousands of system points for even the most basic units, tens of thousands for elite fighters.
Itachi exhaled slowly. Even with my current power, this is not trivial.
He scrolled through the listings:
Elite ANBU Unit — 1,500 points each
Chūnin-level Ninja Squad — 5,000 points per team
Kage-class Summon — 20,000 points each
Special Jinchūriki Units — 50,000 points each
This could make me untouchable… Itachi thought, the gears in his mind turning. But the problem was obvious: Gotham simply didn't have high-tier enemies. Its best heroes were powerful, but Superman-level challenges did not exist here. Mafia bosses, vigilantes, street-level heroes — all strong, but insufficient for the kind of points required to field an army of shinobi.
Itachi's crimson eyes narrowed.
If I want subordinates, if I want full strength… I need stronger opponents. I need enemies worthy of my abilities. I need… Metropolis.
The thought came easily. A city of alien threats, superhumans, advanced technology, and unpredictable dangers — there, each battle could yield massive system points, allowing him to summon elite shinobi from the Naruto world.
He allowed a small, almost imperceptible smile to cross his face. Gotham has served its purpose. I have gained power, tested my abilities… and now it is time to move forward.
Crows erupted around him as he stood, crimson eyes glinting with predatory anticipation. The night stretched out below, Gotham quiet but forever marked by his passage.

Itachi's mind was already racing, calculating which units would provide maximum efficiency, which combinations of jutsu could dominate even alien-level foes, and how to manipulate battles to his advantage.
Soon… he thought, flexing his fingers as electricity and chakra coiled around him. This world will understand true power. And when it does… I will have an army at my command.
With a flurry of crows, he vanished into the night, leaving Gotham behind and setting his sights on a city of titans, heroes, and unimaginable challenges.
