My Real Job is Spying on Konoha, but I'm Also its Hokage

Night fell.

Haneul said goodbye to Tsunade and went home. After half a day of learning, he had初步mastered the Body Flicker Technique.

[D-Rank Ninjutsu Trait: Body Flicker Technique]

Activation Condition: Successfully execute the technique.

Effect: The technique automatically reaches 'Proficient' level.

The most common Body Flicker Technique felt to Haneul like the "sprint" function from games in his past life. It involved channeling chakra to his legs to increase his speed and achieve rapid movement.

Haneul took a deep breath and opened his Trait System. It was time to synthesize some traits. The first was the C-Rank 'Swift as the Wind.'

[C-Rank Talent Trait: Swift as the Wind]

Synthesis Condition: Synthesized from D-Rank 'Body Flicker Technique,' D-Rank 'Swordsmanship Genin,' and D-Rank 'Wind Release Genin.'

Effect: Foot speed increased by 100% from its base rate, and the attack speed of ninja tools is increased by 50% from its base rate.

As expected of a C-Rank Trait! The only drawback was that all the effects were enhancements on his base abilities, so it wasn't as game-breaking as he had imagined. But it was still very good.

With that thought, Haneul took out his samurai sword. With a flick of his wrist, he swung it downwards. A whooshing sound cut through the air, and the blade instantly embedded itself in the ground. "It really is much faster."

Haneul sheathed his sword, then pushed off with his legs, his body moving forward like the wind. A few seconds later, he stopped. "The foot speed is more useful." He nodded in satisfaction. His normal speed was now like having a half-active Body Flicker Technique. In the future, Might Guy probably wouldn't be able to outrun him in the school's physical fitness training. More importantly, the faster he could run, the better he could save his own life.

Haneul suddenly had a thought. What if I use the Body Flicker Technique while I'm already running?

He started running again, forming hand seals as he moved. Body Flicker Technique! His body instantly became a blur.

"So fast!" Haneul exclaimed excitedly. He could feel the oncoming wind cutting across his face like a knife, his hair and clothes whipping behind him.

Suppressing his excitement, Haneul opened the Trait System again. He was going to synthesize the second trait, the one he was most looking forward to.

[B-Rank Talent Trait: Seal-less Healing]

Synthesis Condition: Synthesized from C-Rank 'Medical Chunin,' C-Rank 'Robust Physique,' and C-Rank 'Swift as the Wind.'

Effect: The body's self-healing ability is increased by 150% from its base rate.

Note: Adding A-Rank 'Earth Style Jonin' and A-Rank 'Water Style Jonin' can synthesize the A-Rank Trait: Wood Style (Yamato-Version).

Haneul's eyes lit up. 'Seal-less Healing,' in the original story, was a talent born from the First Hokage Hashirama Senju's incredibly powerful body. Simply put, it was the ability to heal automatically without forming hand seals. The effect given by this trait was just that, but Haneul estimated it wouldn't be on the same level as Hashirama's. After all, even after the First Hokage's death, his cells possessed terrifying vitality.

Haneul took out a kunai and made a cut on the back of his hand. Five seconds later, the wound healed. It was a bit slow, but it was still an incredible ability. It was like in a game: no player likes to face a monster that can heal itself.

What surprised him most was the synthesis path for the B-Rank 'Seal-less Healing' Trait: Yamato-version Wood Style! Although it was often joked that Yamato's Wood Style was just for landscaping, his performance in the original story was not weak. In terms of overall strength, he was an elite among Jonin. What Yamato lacked was chakra, or rather, Yang Release life force. When he was possessed by a White Zetsu, his combat power soared to a level not inferior to a Kage. If he had Sage Mode on top of that, he might have been equivalent to half a Hashirama.

Yamato couldn't get more chakra or Sage Mode, but Haneul could. After all, there was no limit to what he could achieve with his system! The A-Rank 'Earth Style Jonin' and 'Water Style Jonin' traits would be difficult to obtain, but it made sense. Yamato's Wood Style was synthesized from Earth and Water chakra natures. To synthesize chakra, one needed to be at least at the Jonin level.

"Who should I go to to farm Earth and Water Style talents?" Haneul lay on his bed, lost in thought. His innate talents were only Lightning and Fire. Normally, he would have to wait until he was a Chunin to start learning other natures. But that was too slow. The best way was to farm talents. He had gotten his Fire Style talent from Obito, his Lightning Style from Kakashi, and his Wind Style from Asuma. He didn't know what the system's criteria for selecting people were, or if he could switch them.

An idea came to him: Uchiha Shisui. Because Obito was relatively weak, his 'Charmander' Trait was still E-Rank. But Shisui would definitely meet the criteria for an upgrade. A fight with him would tell him if he could switch his sources.

The next day.

It was the first day of his third year at the Academy. Haneul yawned. The morning lesson was on how to set traps. Tsunade had already taught him in much greater detail. The traps their teacher, Eiichiro, was talking about were simple, suitable for newly graduated Genin.

Haneul scanned the classroom and his eyes lit up when he saw Kakashi. Besides Lightning Style, his other chakra nature was Earth. After all, the dog heads carved on his Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall had become his trademark. When Kakashi sparred with him, he always used the Hatake Sword Style. Next time, he would ask him to try using Earth Style.

Haneul withdrew his gaze and took out Tsunade's notebook. It contained her understanding and training notes on Monstrous Strength. Eiichiro noticed him looking around but ignored him. He used to want to discipline him, but now, he couldn't afford to offend him. Last month, he had gotten injured and went to the Konoha Hospital, and the medical ninja who treated him turned out to be Haneul. As the saying goes, in the ninja world, you can offend anyone but a medical ninja.

Hokage's Office.

Bang! The door was kicked open.

"Which son of a..." Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled. Seeing Tsunade, he asked with a sense of helplessness, "Can't you people learn to knock?"

Of his three students, Jiraiya didn't use the main door, Tsunade used her foot, and Orochimaru pushed it open with his hand. Not a single one of them knew how to knock. Add to that Danzo, who was always storming out, and the door itself was getting tired.

"What's this about the rumors regarding Sakumo Hatake?" Tsunade asked, getting straight to the point.

"What rumors?" Hiruzen asked, taken aback.

"You don't know?" Tsunade frowned and explained the situation. Hiruzen's face turned ugly. He had already guessed who was behind it and even knew why Danzo was doing it.

The current Sakumo Hatake had not yet undertaken the mission that would result in a great loss, unlike in the original story. In Hiruzen's view, Danzo was being unreasonable.

"Ninja risk their lives to complete missions, only to come back to the village and be subjected to slanderous rumors," Tsunade snorted, questioning him. "Old man, are you even a competent Hokage?"

"Don't worry, those rumors will disappear," Hiruzen said, feeling a bit guilty. "Thankfully, they're only circulating among the ninja."

"They'd better," Tsunade said, turning to leave.

"Tsunade," Hiruzen suddenly called out to her. "Who do you think should be the next Hokage?"

Tsunade looked at him, her brow furrowed.
