Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Day One: System, I Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore!

"Basic Pack opened. Reward obtained: Chakra Refinement Technique."

Shane felt as though enlightenment had struck. He instantly mastered the method of extracting chakra.

Chakra is an energy produced by the perfect fusion of physical energy from the body's cells and spiritual energy from the mind. Extracted chakra must be shaped through hand seals to perform jutsu. It is the foundation for using ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and all other ninja abilities.

The more chakra you have, the more jutsu you can perform, and the stronger those jutsu become.

Shane began refining chakra while continuing to open the remaining gift packs.

"Ninja Tool Pack opened. Reward obtained: Executioner's Blade."

Ding!

"Kekkei Genkai Pack opened. Reward obtained: Byakugan."

All the jutsu rewards were instantly mastered through that same enlightenment process. The Executioner's Blade didn't materialize out of thin air but was stored in his system inventory, ready to be summoned at any time.

As for the Byakugan bloodline limit, Shane felt no discomfort in his eyes, but he had a distinct sensation that he could activate it whenever he wished.

He couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Not only could the system turn him into a tycoon, but the system itself was incredibly generous. This was just a starter gift pack, yet look at what it contained!

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, a B-rank ninjutsu that gathers chakra in the throat before releasing a massive sea of flames. The range is enormous. In the anime, when Madara used it, over twenty shinobi alliance members had to combine their Water Release: Water Encampment Wall techniques just to barely block it. The power was terrifying.

Even if he didn't currently have that much chakra, even if Fire Release techniques in Naruto were known for being flashy but rarely lethal, this world was different.

Most supernatural creatures in American TV shows fear fire. How did the Winchester brothers handle threats? Simple: dig up the grave, burn the bones, and whatever ghost or spirit it was goes down permanently.

Temple of Nirvana Technique, a large-scale genjutsu. Those caught in it see an increasing number of feathers falling before their eyes, then drift into sleep.

Whether clearing a room or breaking out of prison, one cast of this illusion and he could do whatever he wanted.

Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation, an advanced taijutsu technique secretly passed down through the main Hyuga clan family. The moment an attack strikes, the user releases massive amounts of Gentle Fist chakra from their tenketsu points while spinning like a top, deflecting all physical attacks. It's hailed as the ultimate defense.

Swords, spears, axes, bullets—activate Rotation and everything bounces off. Even a hail of gunfire would be useless. Just spin and done.

Super Beast Scroll: Hungry Tiger, a sealing technique from the Super Beast Scroll series. Using special ink on a giant scroll, the user draws a tiger that materializes and lunges at the target, dragging them back into the scroll. The sealed person appears in the scroll's painting, pinned beneath a tiger's paw.

Can't kill an enemy? Seal them! Turn them into a painting. Feel like looking at it? Pull it out and admire it. Don't feel like it? Store it away to gather dust. See if they still dare to act smug.

Shadow Possession Jutsu, a unique technique that extends the user's shadow to connect with an enemy's shadow, forcing the target to mimic the user's every movement.

Whatever I do, you do. Not only does it control you completely, but you get to watch yourself do it.

Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, a forbidden A-rank technique. It evenly divides the user's chakra to create physical clones with substance. These clones can act and fight independently, possessing their own consciousness and a certain degree of durability. When dispelled, the clones' memories and experiences return to the original body.

Because this technique consumes chakra so violently, anyone without massive chakra reserves risks injury or even death by using it, which is why it's classified as forbidden.

This was the jutsu Shane wanted most. With it, he could perform multiple tasks simultaneously and learn countless skills at once.

Want to learn something? Have a clone study it. Once they've mastered it, dispel the clone. Poof—you know it too.

The old saying goes: "If I hold the bricks, I can't hold you, but if I put down the bricks, I can't support you." Well, let the main body hold you while the clone holds the bricks. Problem solved.

If he became a delivery driver, he alone could accept every delivery order in the entire city. Walk everyone else's routes and leave them with nothing!

Byakugan, the bloodline limit possessed by the Hyuga clan, originating from the Otsutsuki clan. One of the three great dojutsu in Naruto.

It grants near-360-degree vision with no blind spots, the ability to see an opponent's chakra network, tenketsu points, and chakra flow, X-ray vision to see through objects, telescopic vision to perceive distant events, and exceptional analytical insight.

By channeling chakra, the eye's abilities multiply. It can see everything within a one-kilometer radius, and its perception surpasses even the Sharingan.

While the Byakugan might not match the Sharingan overall in the early stages, it can eventually evolve into the Tenseigan. The Tenseigan unlocks Tenseigan Chakra Mode, allows the user to wield green Truth-Seeking Orbs, manipulate gravity and repulsion, control celestial body trajectories, and perform spatial manipulation. Its ultimate technique, Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, can split the moon. Absolutely overpowered.

Shane had read plenty of web novels with protagonists who shared his first name—Shane Battle, Shane Defeat, Shane Saint, Shane King—all with their own cheat abilities. But their starts were all dirt poor, requiring hard work and grinding. Compared to his opening, they were pathetically weak.

Money, looks, power—this wasn't just a dream start. This was every man's fantasy life.

With such a glorious beginning, System, I don't even want to work hard anymore.

Wait, it seemed the system didn't require him to work hard anyway. Just spend money. After all, spending money makes you stronger!

But back to business. Now that he had enough credibility, Shane prepared to go console Sam Winchester and make friends with the Winchester brothers.

As everyone knows, Supernatural has no main female lead, but plenty of female supporting characters—and most of them don't end well. So he definitely wasn't befriending the Winchesters for that reason. He simply felt that since he had the ability, why not look after a few more women? After all, he was using his wealth to create happiness!
