When the Entire Ninja World Starts Believing in My Secret Identity

Kanbara Saku was bound to a gacha System.

Sign-ins, quests, and taking part in events could all earn him coins, titles, and chances to draw.

But what he drew wasn't a skill or a piece of equipment.

Instead, he got one secret identity after another, each able to act independently in the ninja world.

There was only one condition for him to truly acquire a secret identity's stats and abilities

Other people had to believe that they really existed and sincerely acknowledge them.

And so, more and more people who "shouldn't exist" began appearing in the ninja world.

Hatake Kakashi thought he had long since grown accustomed to loss.

Losing comrades, losing his teacher, losing the person who used to argue with him, compete with him, and stand in front of him without hesitation whenever danger struck.

But when the boy who should have died beneath Kannabi Bridge stood before him alive once more, calling him by name in that familiar voice, Kakashi realized he had never truly accepted that person's death.

Uzumaki Naruto had known since childhood that he had no parents.

Then one day, the name he always saw on the Hokage Rock stepped down from legend and stood right in front of him.

In that moment, Naruto realized he could be looked at tenderly by his father, just like any other child.

Uchiha Itachi had spent far too long in the darkness.

So long that everyone thought him cold-blooded, cruel, and unforgivable. So long that even he had almost forgotten that, when he was a boy, someone had once stood resolutely by his side, trusted and understood him, and never doubted where he would end up.

But at the moment they least should have met again, that person appeared before him once more.

No accusation, no hesitation, just the same gentle gaze as before, and the words

"You've worked hard."

The more they believed, the more real those secret identities became.

And the more power Kanbara Saku could inherit from them.

Until one day, more and more people began asking

Why were people who had long since been lost appearing in the ninja world again?

And what exactly was the purpose of the person who had thrown everything into chaos?

After hearing their increasingly dark and disturbing speculations, Kanbara Saku quietly tried to make himself less noticeable.

Would anyone believe him if he said he only wanted those skills and stats?
