Creating Game In Naruto World

Once again, there were only dialogue boxes. It wasn't that Yuto was trying to save on resource quota, it was just that the original material only had these scenes.

[Hatake Kakashi: Unfortunately~ time's up. You didn't manage to take the bells within the time limit...]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Damn it!]

[Hatake Kakashi: Still not convinced? Fine, I'll give you one more chance!]

[Hatake Kakashi: But this time, it won't be that simple…]

As soon as the in-game Kakashi finished speaking, he summoned a pack of dogs.

'Ninja Dogs? That's Pakkun and the others...'

Kakashi hadn't expected to see them in the game.

[Uzumaki Naruto: Whoa! What the heck are these!?]

[Hatake Kakashi: Now, come at me... but be careful~]

The dialogue ended, and a prompt appeared at the top of the screen.

[During the battle, beware of the attacks from the Ninja Dogs summoned by Kakashi]

Kakashi controlled Naruto and defeated Pakkun and the others.

Then, a message appeared: [Strong Enemy Approaching]

[Hatake Kakashi: Naruto, you've changed your fighting style]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Don't underestimate me!]

Kakashi watched as his in-game self just stood there, doing nothing.

'This time, it's really me beating myself...'

Under Kakashi's steady combo attacks, the in-game Kakashi quickly faltered and was defeated.

[Hatake Kakashi: A Ninja must remain calm and make careful judgments]

[Hatake Kakashi: But most importantly, a Ninja must understand the value of their comrades!]

Kakashi looked at these two lines of dialogue and thought that they were things he might actually say...

The level ended, and the final cutscene began.

[The test is over. Understanding each person's resolve, Kakashi allowed all three to pass the exercise.]

[With their own dreams in mind, they took their first firm steps on the path to becoming true Ninja!]

[The Bonds Begins Volume, End]

---

Kakashi wanted to continue to the next level, but he realized that the twelfth level was the end.

"Is that all?"

After exiting, Kakashi noticed that what he had just experienced was only the first volume.

There was another volume titled [Land of Waves], but the scroll was marked [Not Yet Available], which disappointed Kakashi.

However, the levels he had played through were enough to leave him deeply impressed.

Yuto seized the opportunity to say, "The game is based on real events."

Kakashi nodded and said, "Hmm."

However, no matter how hard he tried to sense it, he couldn't detect any Chakra Fluctuations from Yuto. He seemed completely ordinary.

But the more ordinary Yuto seemed, the more suspicious Kakashi became.

'Such a miraculous ninja tool... and the ability to recreate the Nine-Tails Attack...'

Kakashi couldn't believe that Yuto wasn't a powerful Ninja or someone with a hidden Kekkei Genkai.

Adopting the mindset of 'If I can't detect anything unusual, it's because I'm not strong enough,' Kakashi began to treat Yuto with even more respect.

Yuto said, "You've finished the first chapter..."

"If you go back to the main menu, you can enter the Arena."

'Arena?'

Kakashi followed the instructions. Since Yuto didn't want to waste resource quota on creating tutorials, players had to figure out the mechanics on their own.

Currently, since Kakashi was the only player, entering the Arena meant facing AI opponents with the same template as the dungeon mobs.

At the moment, Yuto had only created four playable characters: [Academy Naruto], [Academy Sakura], [Konohamaru Squad], and [Hatake Kakashi].

As for why Sasuke wasn't included?

Because Sasuke didn't have an 'Academy' form, and Yuto was too lazy to create one from scratch.

Just one volume, a few storylines, and these four characters had already consumed over 7,000 of Yuto's resource quota.

So Yuto decided to save wherever he could.

And he planned to release the normal C-Rank versions of Team 7 during the Chunin Exams arc in Chapter 3, alongside other C-Rank characters.

But with his resource quota running dangerously low, these plans still felt far off. Yuto had to find ways to get people to spend money.

So... to maximize profits, Yuto decided to slash the price of [Hatake Kakashi], a character that had cost tens of thousands of Yuan in his previous life's Motou Village, down to 100,000 Ryo!

And why bother with complicated currencies like 'points'?

From now on, recharging would only give gold coins!

Watching Kakashi spar with the AI in the Arena, Yuto couldn't help but think back to when he first started playing the game. He had been much worse than this.

But then again, Kakashi was a Ninja, and he fought with calm precision.

Even though Kakashi was getting older, in his late twenties, almost at his thirties, his reflexes were still top-notch!

After just a few matches, the AI's skills barely ever hit him.

However, Kakashi seemed to be getting bored.

Yuto didn't want to lose his first player so quickly.

He quickly pulled out his administrator account and invited Kakashi to a duel.

Seeing the duel invitation pop up on the screen, Kakashi's interest was immediately piqued.

[Accept!]

His team was still [Academy Naruto], the trial version of [Academy Sakura], and [Konohamaru Squad].

His opponent, Yuto's team, was [Hatake Kakashi], [Academy Naruto], and [Academy Sakura].

Since summons and secret scrolls hadn't been unlocked yet, the battles were even simpler than the most basic modes.

But Kakashi didn't see it that way.

Looking at [Hatake Kakashi] on the opposing team, Kakashi's expression immediately turned serious.

In the story mode, this Kakashi had seemed like a complete fool, and Kakashi himself would never admit to being that weak.

The match started with the usual strategy.

Used to the AI charging straight at him, Kakashi controlled [Academy Naruto] and started with the paint-throwing skill.

Yuto, on the other hand, used Kakashi's dog summoning skill.

The range of Naruto's paint-throwing skill wasn't very large, and it couldn't reach Yuto's Kakashi on the X-axis. The AI had only been hitting itself by running into the attack.

But Yuto's Kakashi's dog summon had a much larger range.

It sent Naruto flying into the air.

Yuto then moved closer and used Kakashi's Raikiri skill to continue the combo.

He maintained the combo with precise normal attacks, controlling Naruto's height in the air.

Kakashi, who had never seen this kind of gameplay before, quickly used his substitution to counterattack.

However, Yuto's Kakashi dodged the counterattack with a small sidestep.

After creating some distance, Yuto used the dog summon again to land another hit.

When Kakashi used his second substitution, Yuto didn't overcommit. He simply turned and walked away, calmly watching as Naruto stood there, helpless after the substitution...

Kakashi was baffled, 'Why had 'me' suddenly become so strong?'
