Unlimited Leveling!

Konoha Year 38, April 3.

Konohagakure.

Sitting on the tatami, Asuma wore a blank expression.

Once a man reached middle age, he had no choice but to admit he was getting old. He had merely pulled an all-nighter for the World Cup, yet he had somehow transmigrated.

And he had transmigrated into the anime world of Naruto.

"Damn it, in such a twisted and dangerous world, how many episodes can I even survive?"

After confirming his identity, Asuma's face twisted.

He had been half a Naruto fan in his youth. Though he had forgotten much of the plot,

he still remembered the 35 million Ryo bounty attached to Asuma Sarutobi.

His daughter had not even been born when he died. What a sin!

"Besides, even if the Immortal Duo doesn't kill me, I'll sooner or later be wrapped up like a dumpling and hung from a tree!"

Asuma rubbed his cheeks with both hands and calmly considered his current situation.

He was currently a little over five years old and would soon be attending the Ninja Academy.

Although the Sarutobi Clan was now one of Konoha's major clans, as the Hokage's son, he still had to attend school to set an example.

Based on the current timeline, Asuma vaguely recalled that the Third Great Ninja War would break out in just a few years.

That Ninja World War had been exceptionally brutal!

"Going to the battlefield at barely ten years old—how the hell is that any different from ending up in Africa?"

Asuma nearly cursed out loud.

When he watched the anime before, it had seemed pretty passionate, all that "who built the dam" nonsense... But now, after dying once, Asuma could not help feeling a surge of terror and unease.

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Asuma silently mused, "Being the Hokage's son is a good identity. At least I won't lack money, ninjutsu to learn, or people to guide me."

Though the title of Strongest Hokage had become a joke among Naruto fans, the Third Hokage's reputation as the Professor of Ninjutsu was still formidable.

"Besides, this body's talent isn't bad either. It possesses the rare Wind Release affinity."

At that thought, Asuma finally revealed a faint smile.

Then.

His first goal would be to kill Hidan!

Just as he was thinking that, a ding-like electronic sound rang in Asuma's ears.

Immediately afterward, a translucent screen appeared on his retina. A massive stream of data flowed down, forming lines of Chinese characters.

Character: Asuma Sarutobi

Level: 0

Age: 5

Faction: Konohagakure, Land of Fire

Experience Points: 0/100

Achievement: None

Dopaminergic Attribute Points: 0

Dopaminergic Skill Points: 0

Attributes: Expandable

Skills: Expandable

Note 1: Each level gained awards one Attribute Point and one Skill Point.

Note 2: Increasing any attribute grants Experience Points. Achieving any achievement grants additional rewards such as Attribute Points and Skill Points.

Note 3: This system is a cracked version and has no upper limit.

Note 4: Please explore its specific functions yourself.

Looking at this game-like Character Panel, Asuma was stunned for a moment before becoming wildly ecstatic.

He actually had a cheat!

"A cracked version, no upper limit..."

"In other words, my attributes and my ninjutsu can be raised without limit?"

Asuma's eyes sparkled.

Did the human body have limits?

Theoretically, no!

Did ninjutsu have limits?

Theoretically, no!

But that was only in theory.

The human body was said to possess limitless potential, yet no one could fully develop that limitless potential.

Theoretically, ninjutsu had no end either.

Take Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu, for instance.

The Sasuke who had just graduated and Uchiha Itachi were on completely different levels.

And Uchiha Madara was on yet another level.

Going further still—

a larger scale, higher temperatures... With enough ability, one could even spit out a sun in a single breath.

However.

The pinnacle of Fire Style in the ninja world was Uchiha Madara.

And now.

Asuma could use this seemingly crude cheat to improve without limit.

So long as he had enough Experience Points, Attribute Points, and Skill Points.

"Looks like Attribute Points and Skill Points are both extremely important. I absolutely can't use them carelessly."

Asuma furrowed his brow.

Because after examining it repeatedly, he found that this cheat was extremely bare-bones.

There was no quest system or anything of the sort.

In other words, at least for now,

Attribute Points and Skill Points could only be obtained by leveling up or gaining achievements.

With that in mind, Asuma opened his attribute panel.

Constitution: 10 (Physical qualities, including stamina, strength, explosive power, immunity, recovery ability, and more)

Agility: 8 (Physical coordination, flexibility, Neural Reaction, speed)

Intelligence: 22 (Learning Ability, knowledge, comprehension, Mental Strength)

Charm: 8 (Personal influence, including but not limited to appearance, temperament, status, wealth, power, and strong kidneys)

Note: Attributes can be increased through study, training, and battle, or directly with Attribute Points.

The four attributes were clear at a glance and easy to understand.

Moreover, judging from the attribute values, Character Level seemed unrelated to the amount of attributes one possessed?

"Intelligence is my highest attribute. It seems some of the knowledge I accumulated in my previous life has been counted as well."

"Luckily, I'm the Hokage's son and don't lack learning materials. Looks like I'll need to study hard from now on."

After reviewing the four major attributes, Asuma had roughly formed a plan for improving them.

For example, Constitution would mainly be increased through physical training.

Agility involved bodily flexibility, such as Hand Seals, as well as Neural Reaction speed training, such as dodging obstacles.

Intelligence would probably require extensive study and acquiring more knowledge.

Charm.

The most obvious factor should be reputation and fame.

"Hmm, it should be on the positive side."

Asuma rubbed his chin and thought, Looks like I can't keep a low profile!

"But as the Hokage's son, how could I possibly keep a low profile?"

After thinking it over, he opened the skill panel as well.

Level 1 Substitution Technique

Level 1 Clone Technique

Level 1 Transformation Technique

Level 1 Chakra Control (Extraction, Manipulation)

Level 1 Taijutsu (Unarmed)

Level 1 Ninja Tool Throwing

Note 1: Skills can be increased through study, training, and battle, or directly with Skill Points.

Note 2: Levels 1–2 are ordinary Genin level (beginner level); Levels 3–4 are Chūnin level (proficient level); Levels 5–6 are Jōnin level (mastery level); Levels 7–8 are Kage level (master level); Levels 9–10 are Six Paths Level (grandmaster level).

Remark: This classification is based on common ninja world knowledge. Cheat users are a small special case and have no reference value.

"They're all Level 1. Isn't this Hokage's son a little pathetic?"

Asuma was deeply dissatisfied with the previous owner of this body.

Uchiha Itachi had been taken to the battlefield at four years old.

Kakashi had applied for graduation at five.

It was said that he became a Chūnin at six.

No wonder, despite being the Hokage's son, his Charm was only 8 points.

Asuma silently complained, but as he looked at Note 2, he frowned slightly.

Taking the Three Basic Ninjutsu as an example.

How great was the difference between a Six Paths Level user performing the Three Basic Ninjutsu and a Jōnin performing them?

Hand Seals versus no Hand Seals?

"The notes only go up to Level 10. Does that mean the normal classification only has ten levels?"

"Looks like there are still many things about this crude system that need to be explored."
