Chapter 002: Ninja

It's been over three years since the cheat was awakened.

Every time he opened the cheat, the game interface of Naruto would pop up, along with a message prompting to recharge and upgrade to VIP 10 and instantly receive Gaara of the Sand Storm!

However, over these three years, Charles had attempted countless times to recharge using different currencies such as US dollars, British pounds, rubles, and even precious metals like gold and diamonds.

Unfortunately, none of these attempts yielded any results.

Every time he tried to recharge, it would result in a failure notification.

Three years had passed, and he had completely given up on the idea of leveling up. He even exchanged Chinese Yuan to give it a try, but it was still ineffective.

Upon opening the Naruto game panel, what appeared before Charles was himself, along with an illusory night view of the Leaf Village.

His initial character wasn't the standard Uzumaki Naruto but rather himself, Charles Doyle.

Over these three years, he had learned how to use the cheat effectively.

He could perform daily check-ins, which rewarded him with copper coins, prestige, explosive tags, soul jades, reincarnation stones, delicious ramen, as well as ninja recruitment scrolls and gold coins, which could only be obtained through recharging.

Among these rewards, copper coins and prestige were used for practicing ninja arts and upgrading psychic creatures.

Copper coins were especially important, as they were needed for upgrading ninja arts, strengthening equipment, and upgrading secret scrolls.

Fortunately, system-rewarded copper coins and Us dollars could be mutually exchanged at a 1:1 ratio.

This led to him primarily converting to copper coins over the years and not converting to Us dollar; after all, copper coins were genuinely not enough.

As for the so-called soul jades and reincarnation stones, they were used to enhance artifacts. However, he had no idea how to obtain artifacts.

The ninja recruitment scrolls were scarce over the years, whether due to his bad luck or some other reason.

Through daily check-ins, he could acquire only one or two a month. Sometimes, luck favored him, and he could get up to three in a month, while other times, only one.

As for the elusive double-sign-in bonus from days 1 to 12, it seemed to be beyond his reach.

In terms of gold coins, he could acquire only 50 a month through daily check-ins. However, a standard recruitment scroll required 168 gold coins.

Limited Edition recruitment and privilege recruitment were even further out of reach.

Features like team assaults, trial locations, the duel arena, rankings, point matches, abundance areas, and ninja tournaments all appeared grayed out in the game—unavailable to him.

It was unclear whether these features required specific conditions to unlock or some other prerequisites. Interestingly, ever since he joined the Continental Hotel Assassins' Association, the organization's headquarters had been illuminated.

Simultaneously, the task assembly hall was also illuminated. All the assassin contracts he accepted at the Continental Hotel would count in the task assembly hall.

However, the task assembly hall required characters to accept the missions, and at most, three tasks could be accepted within a day.

In other words, the possibility of wildly grinding tasks through the task assembly hall didn't exist. The mission's level was even determined here, classified as S, A, B, C, or D, with varying rewards for each level.

The rewards differed for each task level. Nonetheless, the introduction of the task assembly hall allowed Charles to receive tasks other than assassinations—protection, escort, transport, and search were all considered missions.

Under these circumstances, outside the Continental Hotel, he established a firm named "Charles Agency" to accept the aforementioned tasks.

He selectively accepted tasks that were recognized by the task assembly hall.

In addition to this, the system also provided a self-operated training ground.

This training ground wasn't a place for battling in-game but a real training ground from the world of Naruto, much like the Eighth training Ground.

Here, Charles could practice ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, shuriken throwing, and other techniques. The only drawback was the absence of combat, which prevented him from gaining practical experience.

Through training in this field over the years, he had significantly improved his strength. Practicing ninjutsu in this training ground had proven to be more than useful.

Regarding ninja recruitment, he had acquired a total of 50 ninja recruitment scrolls over the course of three years.

Following the practice of his previous life, he waited until he accumulated ten scrolls before using them collectively.

After all, not every ninja recruitment scroll guaranteed the acquisition of a ninja or ninja fragments. Some scrolls rewarded copper coins, prestige, equipment materials, and more.

However, over the years, he had managed to acquire only three ninjas. The reason for not acquiring more was that when duplicate recruitment occurred, the duplicate ninja would transform into fragments.

B-rank or higher ninjas were transformed into fifteen fragments, while C-rank ninjas transformed into ten fragments.

For C-rank ninjas not yet acquired, ten identical fragments could be synthesized into a recruitment.

As for B-rank ninjas, it required forty identical ninja fragments.

Similarly, A-rank ninjas also required forty identical ninja fragments.

However, S-rank ninjas demanded a staggering one hundred identical ninja fragments.

There seemed to be no consistent pattern. Additionally, ninjas could be promoted in star level, ranging from one star to the highest level of five stars.

Promoting from one star to two stars required thirty fragments.

For two stars to reach three stars, sixty fragments were needed.

Three stars to four stars required one hundred fragments.

Finally, four stars to five stars necessitated two hundred fragments.

While each star promotion improved the character's overall attributes, the difficulty was immense, especially in his case with the presence of this kind of cheat. Obtaining character fragments was truly a daunting task.

Although the ninjas he obtained were all C-rank, which were considered trash in the mobile game, they were significant forces in the early stages of the Marvel world.

The three ninjas he possessed:

1. Uchiha Sasuke (without Sharingan) Skills: Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu, Lion Combo, Chidori

2. Iruka Umino. Skills: Teaching, Barrier Formation, Roar of Love

3. Rock Lee. Skills: Infinite Dance, Leaf Hurricane, Lotus Blossom

For the recruited ninjas, he could use all their skills, while also acquiring the standard C-rank ninja chakra quantity.

Additionally, he himself could cultivate chakra. The only frustrating part was that even though this Sasuke could already use Chidori, he lacked the Sharingan. This move was truly a game changer.

Only when he successfully recruited Sasuke with the Sharingan could he obtain the Sharingan. This way, he could keep up with Chidori's rapid advancement.

Although among these three one was chuunin-level ninja, with two being genin-level, the strength they exhibited in a Marvel universe that hadn't yet experienced significant events was remarkable.

As long as they weren't hit directly by firearms or explosives, their assassination abilities were indeed formidable.

After all, common ninjas were low in defense but high in attack power.
