It's been more than three years since Yamamoto Kaito awakened his Golden Finger.
Each time he opens the interface, the Naruto mobile game greets him with a banner: "Recharge to VIP10 now and claim Gaara of the Sand!" Yet in all these years, Kaito has tried every currency—dollars, pounds, rubles—even gold and diamonds. Nothing works.
Every attempted top-up simply fails.
After three years, he's given up on VIP upgrades entirely. He's even exchanged Eastern currencies into dollars just to try—no effect whatsoever.
When he pulls up the Naruto panel, he sees himself standing beneath a moonlit Konoha skyline. His avatar is not the standard Naruto Uzumaki, but rather… Yamamoto Kaito himself.
Over these three years, he's mastered every corner of the Golden Finger system.
Each day he can sign in once, earning rewards: copper coins, reputation, explosive tags, soul gems, Samsara stones, delicious ramen, Ninja World recruitment scrolls—and the only way to get premium gold coins.
Copper coins and reputation fuel his summoning techniques—upgrading summoned beasts—while copper coins alone also reinforce equipment and level up secret scrolls.
Luckily, copper coins and dollars convert at a 1:1 rate. As a result, he's always been converting incoming dollars into copper coins—he needs them far more than cash.
Soul gems and Samsara stones enhance legendary weapons; how to acquire those weapons, he still hasn't figured out.
Recruitment scrolls are even rarer. Whether cursed by bad luck or blind fate, three years of daily sign-ins have netted him only fifty scrolls—sometimes three in a month, sometimes just one.
VIP tiers 1–12 would double sign-in rewards, but those remain locked to him.
He only gets fifty gold coins per month from sign-ins, while a basic recruitment scroll costs 168 gold. Limited and exclusive scrolls are entirely out of reach.
All the game's other features—Squad Raids, Trial Grounds, Duel Arenas, Leaderboards, Point Matches, the Plentiful Realm, even the Ninja Tournament—stay grayed out. Locked behind unknown conditions.
Only after joining the Continental Hotel Assassins' Guild did one building light up: "Organization." Alongside it, the Mission Hall activated. Every contract he picks up through the hotel now counts toward the Mission Hall.
But the Mission Hall requires a visible character slot to accept tasks—and you can only take three tasks at a time, once per day.
So you can't spam contracts there. Tasks come in five ranks—S, A, B, C, and D—and each rank pays differently. The hall opens opportunities beyond assassination: protection, escort, delivery, retrieval, you name it.
Outside the Continental, he even launched "Kaito Agency," handling precisely those non-lethal assignments. Any mission the hall recognizes, he selectively tackles.
On top of that, his system includes a Practice Field—not a PvP arena, but a real-world Naruto training ground, like Academy Training Ground Eight.
Here Kaito hones ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, kunai throwing, and more. The only drawback: no live opponents, so no real-combat feedback.
Still, over three years the practice grounds have sharpened his skills dramatically. Building an empty, expansive training field near the Continental couldn't have been cheap—but it was worth every yen.
As for ninja recruitment, thirty-six months yielded precisely fifty scrolls. True to the gacha's nature, he always waits to use ten at once. Not every scroll nets a ninja; sometimes it gives coins, reputation, or materials.
Across those fifty scrolls, Kaito summoned three ninjas. More duplicates would convert into fragments instead of new recruits.
C-rank ninjas take ten fragments to assemble; B-rank and A-rank each need forty fragments; S-rank demands 100 fragments. No discernible pattern.
Ninjas can also be upgraded in star level—from one star to five. One to two stars costs 30 fragments; two to three requires 60; three to four is 100; four to five demands 200. Each star raises all attributes—but in his Golden Finger scenario, gathering that many fragments is nightmarish.
Yet his three recruits—all C-rank rejects in the original game—have proven astonishingly formidable in the Marvel world's early days. No handgun or grenade blast can touch them if they dodge the initial shock. Assassin prowess remains their forte.
Here are his three summoned ninjas:
Sasuke Uchiha (no Sharingan)
Skills: Fire Style: Great Fireball, Lion's Roar Barrage, Chidori
Iruka Umino
Skills: Teaching Shuriken, Barrier Formation, Roar of Compassion
Rock Lee
Skills: Hidden Lotus, Leaf Hurricane, Omote Renge
Kaito can wield every skill they possess and taps into a standard C-rank chakra pool. He himself can train chakra—though it's infuriating that Sasuke can use Chidori without any Sharingan to stabilize his vision. Only by recruiting the Sharingan-wielding Sasuke Uchiha can he gain a functional Sharingan. That eye cannot be upgraded—he uses whatever tomoe it comes with.
Though one is a Chūnin and two are Genin, their combined strength is remarkable—especially before the Marvel Universe's next big event kicks off.
As long as they avoid direct hits from guns or bombs, their assassination capabilities are top-tier. After all, typical ninjas trade fragility for devastating offense.
