Chapter 2: The Onset of the Cheat, Hanako's Path to Supremacy!

Passing through the central street, Hanako turned into an alleyway.

Opening the somewhat rusty gate, a not-so-spacious courtyard appeared before his eyes.

This was Hanako's residence.

More precisely, it was left behind by his parents.

His parents died in the war, leaving behind this residence and a pension.

Sitting on a wooden chair in the courtyard, Hanako began his daily daydreaming.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow the system will be activated."

Whispering to himself, an almost transparent screen appeared before his eyes.

[Countdown to Daily Doubling System Activation: 7 hours, 44 minutes, 31 seconds]

Below this slogan was his personal attribute panel.

Name: Hanako

Age: 12 years old

Strength: 9

Constitution: 9

Agility: 9

Spirit: 20

Chakra Level: 47

Skills: None

Ninjutsu: None

Comprehensive Strength Evaluation: Trainee Genin

His gaze fell on the word "Trainee," and a smile formed at the corners of Hanako's mouth.

The reason he didn't learn Body Replacement Technique and Shuriken Throwing in the Ninja Academy was because of this yet-to-be-activated system.

Because he wasn't sure which attribute or skill the doubling would apply to.

"If it doubles randomly every day, then the more skills I learn, the lower the probability of doubling an attribute."

"Instead of that, it's better not to learn anything and wait for the system to activate."

Hanako's plan was clear.

First, double his four-dimensional attributes, preferably doubling them to Kage-level or even beyond.

Then, learn skills and ninjutsu.

This way, even without mastering ninjutsu, his physical strength alone would be enough for self-defense.

On the contrary...

If he rushed to learn Shuriken Throwing, Body Replacement Technique, or even some low-level ninjutsu, his strength would be scattered and not focused during this period.

Of course, if the system doubles everything, then he wouldn't have to worry about these things at all.

Closing the system screen, he silently counted in his mind.

As he kept counting, he fell asleep.

It's truly a good method for hypnotizing oneself.

-------------------

In a two-story residence.

Minato Namikaze knocked on the door and then walked in.

"Ah? Minato, aren't you supposed to lead the new team today?" Kushina was a bit surprised, pausing her folding clothes.

She and Minato were lovers but not yet married.

Whenever Minato had something on his mind, he would come to Kushina to confide in her.

"Ah! This team, it's hard to put into words."

Minato sighed and began explaining the configuration of this peculiar team.

"The bottom three, plus Kakashi, who nobody wants to team up with. The Third Hokage has really given me a big challenge."

"What's your plan then?" Kushina asked with a smile.

"I've decided to start from tomorrow and build their teamwork."

"How will you do that?"

"By playing the bell-stealing game."

"That's so cliché."

"Let's give it a try first."

To be honest, Minato didn't have a better plan.

And stealing the bells was an experience that every team had to go through, with the goal of fostering teamwork.

"But you might be disappointed. At least, Kakashi definitely won't cooperate and will fight alone," Kushina pointed out the key issue.

She had some understanding of Kakashi's situation.

He was strong, solitary, and didn't fit in.

Because of the impact of Sakumo Hatake's suicide, Kakashi disregarded the safety of his teammates during missions, focusing only on completing the mission. That's why he faced exclusion, and nobody wanted to continue teaming up with him.

For such a person, achieving teamwork through the bell-stealing game was difficult.

"Actually, what I'm worried about is not Kakashi, but rather the last-ranked Hanako."

"Once he's on the battlefield, it'll be hard for him to survive."

Minato had a headache.

After speaking, he placed the graduation records of the three individuals in front of Kushina.

After reading the graduation scores of these three individuals, Kushina was dumbfounded.

How could such people graduate from the Ninja Academy?

What was the Third Hokage thinking?

Especially that person named Hanako.

With so many zero scores in the grades, not even knowing the basic Body Replacement Technique, how could he be considered a Genin?

"Is war coming?" Kushina realized something and murmured to herself.

Only when war was imminent would the village relax the graduation criteria for the Ninja Academy.

And now, even someone who didn't qualify to be cannon fodder could graduate, which indicated a problem.

Such a person put on the battlefield would be simply going to their death.

-------------------

"Achoo!"

Hanako sneezed and woke up from his chair.

Looking at the dim sky, he felt in a great mood.

He had wasted another afternoon.

Getting closer to the system activation.

He returned to the house and ate some leftover food, then went straight to bed.

"After all, there's a high probability of insomnia tonight, so let's get enough sleep first."

Time passed.

As dawn approached, Hanako woke up on time.

He stared straight at the countdown, his emotions restless.

"Come on, my cheat!"

"The strongest in the ninja world, starting from me!"

"I am the sun!"

10 seconds.

5 seconds.

1 second.

"Ding! Daily Doubling System activated."

"Random daily doubling begins!"

"Agility doubled!"

After three system prompts, Hanako's mind calmed down.

His gaze shifted downward, looking at the attribute panel.

Name: Hanako

Age: 12 years old

Strength: 9

Constitution: 9

Agility: 18 (9*2), Genin level

Spirit: 20

Chakra Level: 47

Skills: None

Ninjutsu: None

Comprehensive Strength Evaluation: Trainee Genin

"Is that it?"

Looking at the strength evaluation still displaying "Trainee Genin," Hanako felt a faint sense of disappointment.

Perhaps, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

But immediately, he adjusted his mindset.

"In just one day, my speed has directly entered the Genin level. I should be content."

What is there to be discontented about?

You see, on average, in just four days, he could completely double his attributes to Genin level.

In ten days or half a month, he could reach Chunin level.

In one or two months, he could become a Jonin.

"Shadow level in half a year?"

"Beyond Kage in a year?"

"Blow up the moon in three years?"

"I'm asking, who else can do that?"

With a soaring spirit in his heart, Hanako couldn't help but jump off the bed.

Then...

He bumped his head on the ceiling and ended up with a big bump.
