Gas masks literally exist in Naruto, but I guess Danzo is a cheapskate.

Seriously, this arc feels so forced. What's stopping Rimuru from just flying off and healing in Africa or Asia? Or did the church get glazed so hard that they can now somehow stop a 30 cm slime from flying 5 kilometers up and leaving whenever he wants? Come on.

Yes, because he would have memories of his past life where he would have seen people who are far more miserable like in the news, in his entourage, etc... And yet I doubt he would have done the same thing for them as he did for Naruto.

Where the hell is this martyr complex coming from? The guy sees one kid having a rough time and suddenly starts acting like he's personally responsible for saving the entire world. What's next? Is he going to start feeling sorry for Itachi and give us a speech about how tragic it was that he "had no choice" but to slaughter his entire clan? Then when Obito shows up, is Ryuji going to spend three chapters explaining that he was only acting that way because he lost the love of his life and deserves a second chance? Seriously, did Ashura's chakra secretly infect him or something? Did Jiraiya get to him off-screen and fill his head with that "everyone deserves understanding so we can break the cycle of hatred" nonsense? Because this doesn't even feel like the same character anymore. At the beginning of the story, Ryuji was pretty clear about what he wanted. Before recovering his memories, his goal was simple: become rich, become famous, and enjoy life. After getting his system, that should have become even easier. Instead, every chapter seems to push him further toward becoming some self-sacrificing hero who can't stop getting emotionally invested in everyone else's problems. And that's what bothers me. It's not that becoming a better person is inherently bad. The problem is that character development is supposed to have a cause. You don't go from "I want money, status, and an easy life" to "I must carry everyone's burdens" because you saw one kid struggling for a few minutes. The worst part is that the story barely acknowledges how drastic the change is. If Ryuji had gradually become attached to the people around him over dozens of chapters, I'd understand it. Instead, it feels like the author quietly swapped out his personality and hoped nobody would notice. Honestly, if I compare the current Ryuji to the guy from Chapter 1, they barely feel related. Earlier, he was pragmatic, ambitious, and focused on his own future. But currently, Ryuji acts like he's auditioning to be Naruto's replacement. At this point, if the author revealed that he'd been body-snatched by a completely different soul after getting the system, I'd probably find that explanation easier to believe than this personality shift.

I was about to say "Why the hell is he still alive?!", but then I remembered that in this timeline the Kumo ninja was killed by Hiromi, not Hiashi. Good job to the author for remembering this.

Honestly, if I were him, I would have done the same. Well, that or go completely crazy and use Susanoo to rampage through the village and hopefully kill Hiruzen or at least someone that is important before fully destroying my body to avoid Edo Tensei.

Nano machines, son.

Ice vs Magma: Round 2.

Honestly, I'm still a little surprised Danzo wasn't paranoid or spiteful enough to make the Cursed Tongue Seal kill everyone marked by it when he died in the manga. You'd think he'd have gone with a "if I'm dead, none of you deserve to live" mentality. Instead, he actually set things up so that all Root members would be freed from the seal after his death. Anyway, I assume Danzo is going to die by the end of this arc. Otherwise, I don't really see how the story can keep moving forward if Haruto remains his puppet for much longer. There are only so many readers willing to follow a protagonist who can't even make his own choices or act according to his own will.
