Naruto

More than three years had passed since he awakened his Golden Finger.

Whenever he opened his Golden Finger and the Naruto game interface, a message would pop up: Recharge to V10 and claim Sandstorm Gaara immediately!

Over the past three years, Charlotte Doyle had tried countless times. He had tested US dollars, pounds, rubles, and even precious metals such as gold and diamonds, one by one, but unfortunately, none of them worked.

Whenever he chose to recharge, he would only receive a notification that the recharge had failed.

After three years, he had completely given up on the idea of upgrading his VIP level. He had even specifically exchanged Eastern Kingdom currency and tried that, but it still had no effect.

When he opened the Naruto panel, what appeared before Charlotte Doyle was himself, along with an illusory nighttime view of Konoha.

His initial character was not the standard Naruto Uzumaki, but himself—Charlotte Doyle.

Over the past three years, he had more or less figured out his Golden Finger.

He could sign in once every day. A successful sign-in rewarded him with copper coin, Prestige, Explosive Tags, Soul Jade, Reincarnation Stone, Delicious Ramen, Ninja World Recruitment Scrolls, and Gold Coin that could normally only be obtained through recharging.

Copper coin and Prestige were used to cultivate Summoning Jutsu and upgrade summoned creatures. Copper coin in particular was needed for upgrading Summoning Jutsu, enhancing equipment, and upgrading secret scrolls.

Fortunately, both system-rewarded copper coin and US dollars could be converted into each other at a one-to-one ratio.

As a result, over the past few years, he had only converted US dollars into copper coin and never the other way around. After all, copper coin was truly never enough.

As for Soul Jade and Reincarnation Stone, they were used to strengthen Artifacts. However, he had no clue how to obtain an Artifact.

As for Ninja World Recruitment Scrolls, whether because his luck was terrible or for some other reason, he had obtained very few over the years. Through sign-ins, he could only get one or two per month. In a lucky month, he might get three; in an unlucky one, only one.

The double sign-in rewards supposedly available from VIP1 to VIP12 were even further beyond his reach.

As for Gold Coin, he could only get fifty a month through sign-ins, while an ordinary Recruitment Scroll cost 168 Gold Coin. Limited recruitment and privilege recruitment were even more unattainable.

As for the Squad Raid, Trial Ground, Duel Arena, Leaderboard, Points Match, Abundant Space, and Ninja Tournament in the game, they were all grayed out and could not be opened.

He did not know whether they required special conditions to unlock or some other requirement. On the other hand, after he joined The Continental Hotel Assassin Association, the Organization building had lit up.

At the same time, the Task Gathering Hall had also been unlocked. Every assassination contract he accepted at The Continental Hotel was counted by the Task Gathering Hall.

However, the Task Gathering Hall required a character to accept missions, and at most three could be taken at once in a single day.

In other words, there was no possibility of endlessly farming missions through the Task Gathering Hall. Even mission ranks were determined there, divided into S, A, B, C, and D.

The rewards for each mission rank differed as well. However, the appearance of the Task Gathering Hall did not merely give Charlotte missions other than assassination. Protection, escorting, transporting, and searching all counted as missions.

Under these circumstances, he opened an agency outside The Continental Hotel called Charlotte Agency, accepting the aforementioned jobs.

As long as a mission was recognized by the Task Gathering Hall, he would selectively accept it.

Besides that, there was also a system-provided Training Ground. This Training Ground was not a place for sparring matches like in the game, but a real Training Ground from Naruto, like Training Ground Eight.

Here, Charlotte could practice Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Kunai Throwing, and other techniques. Its only flaw was the lack of combat, meaning it could not improve his actual battle experience.

Over the past three years, he had also greatly improved his strength through the Training Ground. The fact that he could use Ninjutsu proficiently was largely thanks to it. After all, building an uninhabited, spacious place of his own near The Continental Hotel would have cost a fortune.

As for ninja recruitment, over three years and thirty-six months, he had obtained a full fifty Ninja Recruitment Scrolls. True to Goose Farm's usual ways, he always saved up ten before using them together.

After all, not every Ninja Recruitment Scroll could yield a ninja or Ninja Fragments. They could also give copper coin, Prestige, Equipment Material, and so on...

Still, after three years, he had obtained three ninjas. The reason there were not more was that duplicate recruits would be converted into fragments.

B-rank Ninjas and above gave fifteen fragments, while C-rank Ninjas gave ten fragments.

For a C-rank Ninja he had not yet obtained, ten matching fragments could be combined to recruit them.

A B-rank Ninja required forty matching Ninja Fragments.

An A-rank Ninja also required forty matching Ninja Fragments.

However, an S-rank Ninja required one hundred matching Ninja Fragments.

There was absolutely no pattern to it. At the same time, ninjas could undergo Star Upgrades, from the lowest one-star rank to the highest five-star rank.

Going from one star to two stars required thirty fragments.

Going from two stars to three stars required sixty fragments.

Going from three stars to four stars required one hundred fragments.

Going from four stars to five stars required two hundred fragments.

Although every Star Upgrade increased all of a character's attributes, the difficulty was immense. Especially with the system turned into a Golden Finger, obtaining character fragments was simply terrifying.

Although the characters he had obtained were all C-rank Ninjas—utterly trash-tier characters in the Mobile Game back then—they were incredibly powerful in early Marvel when they could be manifested.

His three ninjas were:

Sasuke Uchiha (without Sharingan)

Skills: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, Lion Combo, Chidori

Iruka Umino

Skills: Teaching Tool Shuriken, Barrier Formation, Roar of Love

Rock Lee

Skills: Infinite Dance, Leaf Whirlwind, Front Lotus

He could use every skill of the ninjas he recruited. At the same time, he gained a standard C-rank Ninja's amount of Chakra, and he could cultivate Chakra himself. The only particularly annoying part was that this Sasuke, who could already use Chidori, did not have the Sharingan. That was such a Goose Farm move.

Only after successfully recruiting Sasuke Uchiha with the Sharingan could he obtain the Sharingan, so his visual tracking would not fail to keep up with Chidori's charge.

This level of Sharingan could not be upgraded. However many tomoe the character came with were however many tomoe he could use.

Although the three consisted of one Chunin and two Genin, the strength they could display was remarkably impressive in this Marvel world where major events had yet to begin.

As long as he was not hit head-on by a pistol or bomb, his assassination abilities were quite formidable.

After all, ordinary ninjas had low health but high attack.
