The Faith System: Starting in Naruto World with Absolute Hypnosis

It had been a week since Haruto purchased the Basic Genin Pack. Additionally, he invested in an Experience Pack, which provided him with the equivalent of ten D-rank missions and two C-rank missions' worth of experience. With this, he was now a skilled Genin, capable of competing with real Genin. This progress boosted his sense of security, allowing him to focus entirely on treating Hana.

Hana, initially shy and hesitant in this unusual situation, gradually opened up. Day by day, she began appreciating their closeness, even seeking out his affectionate gestures. Their bond grew to the point where they kissed and hugged freely, even in front of Hiroshi and Aiko. To maximize the effectiveness of the treatments, Haruto switched rooms with Hiroshi, ensuring he was "available" for Hana at all times.

Hiroshi, already under advanced hypnosis, showed no reaction to this arrangement. His spiritual defenses crumbled after entrusting his wife to Haruto, allowing Haruto to hypnotize him to an advanced level for less than 100 points. Not only did Hiroshi have no objections, but he even encouraged Haruto to be closer to his wife, deriving a peculiar satisfaction from it.

As for Aiko, Haruto decided to hypnotize her on the third day of treatment. Using intermediate hypnosis, he implanted total acceptance of everything happening around her. Aiko, now fully convinced that Haruto was their only hope of saving her mother, prayed for him daily, harboring no suspicion or resistance. Despite this, Haruto refrained from touching Aiko, considering her young and choosing to focus on the main heroines of the manga rather than scattering his attention on secondary characters.

These precautions allowed Haruto to continue his plans in peace while maintaining an apparent harmony within the family.

At the same time, Haruto diligently practiced his ninja skills, curious to see if repetition could improve mastery like in video games. Every morning, he discreetly trained the unlocked techniques: Basic Cloning, Basic Illusion, and Substitution Technique. His discipline paid off, and his proficiency in each skill reached level 9.

The days passed peacefully between training, treatments, and moments of closeness with Hana. Haruto was gradually finding balance in his new life, but one question lingered: What should he do next?

Thanks to Hana's treatment and the regular prayers from Hiroshi and Aiko, Haruto was earning between 300 and 430 points daily. After reinforcing Hiroshi's hypnosis, hypnotizing Aiko, and spending points on packs and standard Genin equipment (50 points), he had accumulated 1,923 points.

He stared at his stats panel, contemplating how best to use them. Should he invest further in his ninja abilities or recruit new followers?

After much thought, Haruto made his decision. Recruiting new followers was the most logical long-term plan. He devised a meticulous strategy to achieve this goal with efficiency and discretion.

The idea was simple: use his current followers, Hana and Hiroshi, to attract two villagers daily to his contact at the hunter's house. Once the targets were there, Haruto would hypnotize them at the intermediate level, ensuring their immediate submission. With this strategy, he estimated he could hypnotize the entire village within a month.

"The less I expose myself, the better," he thought.

Before starting, Haruto returned to the system store and spent 1,000 points to acquire a new skill: Observe. Inspired by the concept of The Gamer, this ability allowed Haruto to view detailed information about individuals' stats, attributes, and weaknesses.

However, the feature had a key limitation: the accessible information depended on the difference in Spirit points between Haruto and the target. The greater the gap in his favor, the more precise the details. This restriction explained why the skill wasn't overly expensive.

The skill description read clearly:

"Perfect. This will make my work much easier," he murmured with a satisfied smile.

Eager to test it, Haruto first turned to Hana. Activating Observer, an interface appeared before him:
