On a hillside east of Konoha.
Right before the Konoha class placement exam.
Nagi was lying quietly beneath a tree, taking a nap.
Though still young, his face was already sharp and striking—exceptionally handsome.
Even in Konoha, where good-looking guys were everywhere, his looks were outstanding.
And yet, despite having such a charming face…
At this moment, he wore a faint look of melancholy.
Above him stretched a brilliant blue sky; beneath him, endless green grass swayed in the breeze.
Anyone else might have felt perfectly content in such a peaceful scene.
But not him.
Because this was Konoha.
He had been excited when he first realized he had transmigrated into the Naruto world. After all, what kid hadn't dreamed of becoming a Hokage?
But now? He could only laugh bitterly.
Surviving to the end of the Naruto timeline had become his ultimate goal.
And honestly, that goal was just as hard as becoming Hokage.
Just thinking about all the chaos Konoha was about to go through…
The Chūnin Exams invasion plan, Pain's assault...
It was as if every major villain in the ninja world felt the need to wipe out Konoha at least once, or else they'd be mocked by their peers.
Not to mention the two Uchiha family prodigals who liked to pop in from time to time.
Sometimes, just walking the streets of Konoha gave him zero sense of security.
And with the upcoming Chūnin Exams looming, his sense of danger was growing by the minute!
As Nagi was deep in thought, an apple suddenly fell from the tree and bonked him right on the forehead.
"Ouch!"
He looked up to see the fallen apple.
Much like how Newton had his epiphany under an apple tree, moments like this usually signaled something unusual.
"Ding! Loading Trait System…"
"A system?"
For a second, Nagi nearly lost his mind.
Of course—crossing into another world without a system was as likely as finding a conscience in Danzo.
Basically zero.
"What can you do, system?"
The most important thing now was figuring out what this system could actually do.
"Ding! This system is called the Trait System."
"The host may receive one trait per day via sign-in."
"Low-level traits can also be fused into higher-level traits."
"Ding! Opening host panel—"
[Name]: Nagi
[Status]: Konoha Academy Graduate – Genin
[Abilities]: Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, Substitution Jutsu
"That's it?"
Nagi sucked in a breath as he stared at the panel.
"Ding. This is your full status panel."
The system replied bluntly. After nearly ten years in this world, this was everything he had to show for it.
Not that he hadn't wanted to learn other jutsu.
He just… couldn't be bothered.
He might not have family background, talent, or chakra beasts—but he was good-looking.
There were tons of girls in class willing to offer up their clan's jutsu for him.
He just wasn't interested.
Take the Great Fireball Jutsu for example. Even if he mastered it to perfection—so what?
Was Konoha really in need of another B-rank jutsu fodder?
He had access to a few techniques from the Scroll of Seals, but there was no way the Third Hokage would ever hand him the whole thing.
"Oh right—system, what's my reward for today's sign-in?"
He was curious to see what he'd get for his first trait.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. You've received the unique trait: One Click Max Level. Any jutsu you acquire is instantly maxed out."
"Whoo!"
Seeing that trait lit up his entire brain.
But before Nagi could react fully—
A surge of overwhelming chakra erupted from within his body, bursting out in an explosive wave of power!
Meanwhile, not far away—
Kakashi, who was just passing by after completing a mission, suddenly froze.
He whipped his head toward Nagi's location, his expression instantly grave.
"That chakra…"
Kakashi was utterly shocked by the burst of chakra just now.
It was insane.
For someone like Kakashi—whose reserves barely qualified as one full bar—this was way beyond comprehension.
There was no one in Konoha with chakra this strong!
"Could it be… an intruder?"
Kakashi instinctively assumed an enemy had infiltrated the village.
Without even reporting to the Third Hokage, he rushed off to investigate alone.
On the other side, Nagi had no clue just how much chaos he had caused.
"System, why did I suddenly burst out with so much chakra just now?"
Nagi was still reeling from the endless well of chakra within his body.
"Ding! Host may check your updated panel."
Driven by curiosity, Nagi opened his status panel again.
[Name]: Nagi
[Status]: Konoha Academy Graduate – Genin, System Holder
[Abilities]: One Click Max Level (Unique), Senju Bloodline, Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees, Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu...
"Holy crap!"
As soon as he saw the panel, Nagi was stunned to discover that he had suddenly mastered a whole slew of jutsu.
"Ding! This is due to the Senju bloodline flowing within the host."
"The One Click Max Level trait has instantly maxed out all your inherited abilities!"
That's when it hit him—he had actually reincarnated with the Senju clan's bloodline.
