Using Points To Get Stronger In Naruto

Konoha, 54 years later.

Ninja school, Classroom.

The afternoon sun streamed through the windows, casting a confusing light on the students who had just awakened from their lunch break.

Sao's mind was also filled with confusion, but unlike his teammates, it wasn't just his thoughts that were bewildered; his heart was also lost.

"What's happening? Didn't I take a nap at home?"

"Where am I?"

As he observed the unfamiliar surroundings, Sao questioned whether he had truly woken up.

Who were these people dressed up as characters? They seemed strangely familiar.

And the person with the blonde hair in front, why did he resemble Naruto, the Hokage?

But soon, sudden information flooded Sao's mind, helping him comprehend the situation.

"I've actually crossed over, and I've entered the world of Naruto?"

"So Shikamaru and Ino beside me are real?"

After reviewing the information in his mind, Sao's expression underwent several changes.

It turned out that he hadn't merely traveled through time; he had also been reborn as a baby.

His parents had died in the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack less than six months after his birth.

Fortunately, his parents had once been direct subordinates of Inoichi Yamanaka.

Recalling their past relationship, Sao wasn't sent straight to the Konoha Orphanage; instead, he was raised by a nanny with the assistance of Inoichi Yamanaka.

Because of this, he had become friends with Ino, Shikamaru, and Chōji, who were the same age.

"Alright, time for the orphan life to begin, huh..."

Sao inwardly complained.

Regarding his parents in this life, aside from feeling a little grateful, he had no other emotions.

After all, he had been an orphan for two lifetimes, and he had grown accustomed to it.

The memories up until now were fairly ordinary, and apart from starting off as an orphan, he had been fortunate in other aspects.

What truly disturbed Sao was a memory from later on.

I don't know when it began, but the people around me gradually instilled the belief that I should become a ninja and protect Konoha.

And my young self actually believed it.

So, as soon as I reached the appropriate age last month, I immediately enrolled in the ninja school.

If that were the end of it, it would be fine. After all, becoming a ninja is the obvious choice when you travel to the world of Naruto.

However, there's a distinction between being a mere ninja and becoming an exceptional one.

Sao's aspiration was to become a genius ninja-like Kakashi, at the very least a Jōnin, instead of being cannon fodder after just a month.

Yes, Sao did become an academy student.

But he was nothing more than disposable cannon fodder among the ranks.

"Hehe, it's still better than being an ordinary businessman."

"With my knowledge, being a ninja is just one of many options!"

After all, Sao had acquired a lot of knowledge before becoming a well-known cartoonist in his previous life.

Sao immediately decided to drop out of school and find a way to earn money.

With money, he could hire ninjas to protect him. Wasn't that superior to being mere cannon fodder?

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host for awakening Chakra. Points added to initiate the system..."

At that moment, a clear voice resonated in Sao's mind.

"Fuck!" Sao exclaimed in ecstasy.

Just as he was about to quit school, the system unexpectedly awakened.

With future knowledge and the system, wouldn't his prospects soar?

Frowning, Sao eagerly checked the system information.

The system's function was simple and straightforward—adding points.

By adding points to attributes like physique, spirit, Chakra, and ninjutsu, one could become stronger.

The method of obtaining attribute points was also outlined.

Sao discovered numerous ways to obtain attribute points, including eating, exercising, and studying.

The system's standout feature was its convenience and swiftness!

"System, I want to add some points."

Upon grasping the system's information, Sao's immediate instinct was to try adding points.

However, when he mentally requested more points, he received no response.

"Damn..."

Observing the system's lack of reaction, Sao hesitantly called out in his mind, "System, open the attribute panel?"

To his surprise, a panel displaying attributes that only he could see suddenly materialized before him.

Host: Fujimiya Sao

Physique: 10 (average score for ordinary individuals is 5)

Spirit: 20 (average score for ordinary individuals is 5)

Chakra: 1

Ninjutsu: None

Attribute points: 0

Description: Genin Chakra ranges from 1 to 100 points, Chūnin ranges from 100 to 1000, Jōnin ranges from 1000 to 10000, Kage-level exceeds 10,000

"No wonder there was no response to adding points..."

As Sao observed the 0 displayed for energy and skill points, he instantly understood why the system hadn't responded to his request.

"Then, let's try obtaining points next."

While pondering, Sao opened the books on the table.

Initially, he skimmed through the contents of the book, hoping for an increase in attribute points.

"As expected, no tricks allowed!" he sighed inwardly.

Sao flipped the book to the first page and began reading word by word.

Until he initially mastered the first piece of knowledge...

Sao reopened the attribute panel to check.

This time, the attributes on the panel had finally changed.

The attribute point that had previously been displayed as 0 had become 1.

"It seems that one can only obtain attribute points by genuinely learning specific knowledge."

Moreover, Sao made another significant discovery.

Even though he had just acquired the knowledge, he could fully remember it and even apply it by analogy.

"Is this a hidden function of the system?"

Didn't that mean he still had the potential to become an exceptional student?

"I wonder if the other two methods of obtaining attribute points have hidden functions."

Having accidentally discovered the system's hidden ability, Sao naturally desired to explore whether there were more to be found.

Unfortunately, there were still a few hours until school ended...

"Then, let's continue learning to obtain attribute points!"

Since he couldn't currently attempt other methods of acquiring attribute points, Sao had no choice but to rely on learning for the time being.

Thus, for the next few hours, except for the occasional trip to the restroom, he devoted most of his time to studying.

As it was only the first grade, the knowledge in the books was generally straightforward.

Even through self-study, Sao quickly grasped each piece of knowledge.

By the time school was about to end, Sao had successfully obtained eight attribute points.

Exhaling deeply, Sao massaged his throbbing forehead.

"It feels like my brain is expanding. If I had studied this hard in my previous life, I might have aced the exams and wouldn't have ranked last three times."

Though he scolded himself internally, Sao couldn't help but feel delighted upon seeing the attribute points increase to 9.

This was the result of hours of arduous work!

At that moment, the school bell rang as expected.

Eager to test the other two methods of obtaining attribute points, Sao hurried to the nearest training ground after the teacher announced the end of school...
