Chapter 026

You obtained a jutsus scroll! Would you like to learn it?

Y/N?

I pressed yes causing it to explode into light transferring knowledge into my head;

Ping!

You have obtained a new skill!

Great fireball jutsu, C rank

The user takes a deep gulp of air before spewing it out as a giant fireball.

CP cost- 50 CP (Additional CP can be added)

DMG: 200 (+4 DMG for every additon point of CP)

Hm, so while I could learn the jutsu without a problem, I can't use it because my chakra output is still only a maximum of 48CP, literally 2 points short. I dismissed the screen and opened my stats;

STR- 2

VIT- 9

DEX- 4

INT- 11 (+2)

CHA- 11

CC- 20

LUC- 2 (+5)

Points- 10

Since I had removed my rare cat fur pelt and forearm armour, my +5 STR bonus from the cat pelt is now gone. Anyway, back to the stats in hand. So far it seems I'm building myself up to be a genjutsu type, but if I give myself enough chakra to act with then I can also be a perfect ninjutsu user.

So now the question is, what can't I grind up on my own?

Obviously STR, VIT and DEX were out. I was perfectly happy with grinding them up through exercise. While INT is important, I can basically just improve it by reading, maybe after the academy is over I'll invest points into it, but for now, I'll stick to just reading and listening to class.

So now I had three categories. CHA, CC and LUC. Obviously CC was something I don't have to worry about just yet. If my chakra control exercises go as planned I can gain one stat point every time it levels up.

LUC is always important, if a ninja faces someone of equal talent they can only survive based on luck. And if I have the power to ensure I'm always the luckiest ninja around, then victory is mine. Plus I have the chance of receiving rare items from drops and so I can make more money!

And finally came CHA, chakra, pure and simple. I might as well focus on that as well, seeing as it is equally important for any ninja.

So I put five points into LUC and five points into CHA.

CHA- 16

LUC- 7 (+5)

I had a lot of skill scrolls I can now us, but I decided to wait on them, suppose I gain an impressive skill I can really get a lot out of? Then I'll use the scrolls, not after.

I had a lot of items to sell, like the fur and more importantly the gold coins from the Meowths. Tomorrow I could find a buyer, maybe a broker or someone, hm, I'll have to go under a henge to be safe.

I closed my inventory and took out a leaf and stuck it on my forehead, I began to channel chakra to hold it up and waited for my chakra to empty out so that I could wait for it to recharge while reading.

I waited...but it never came. I didn't understand, so I opened my menu and looked seeing not even a single point of my CP bar go down. I couldn't believe it!

I opened the leaf concentration skill and found the requirements, 15 CP per minute to keep active. It had reduced from 20 since I kept leveling it up. Now 15CP per minute came up to 0.25 CP per second.

My Charaka regeneration rate is 10% plus +2% for every 10 points I have in CC and CHA, that meant around 6% more leading up to a total of 16% regeneration per minute. My charaka pool was at 150CP, that's around 24CP per minute or 0.4 CP per second!

Meaning I can technically keep this leaf on my head indefinitely! Wahoo! No more waiting around for ten whole fucking minutes! Grinding heaven here I come!

I took out the books I had for kanji and read it a couple of times, thanks to the leaf concentration exercise I gained the concentration needed to actually focus on the book rather than dooze off. It's an amazing feeling! It's like reading a brand new adventure book with your favorite hero for the very first time!

Thanks to my new found concentration I managed to finish all the books by the time morning came around. And;

Ping!

I closed the box with a smile and set out for my day's work, unfortunately that meant I had to stop the exercise, can't risk people knowing I can already do it indefinitely, that would alert people that I might be smarter than I let on...well, smarter.

I ate food, eavesdropped and of course washed the dishes. I quickly came to my class and sat down for the lectures of the day, but surprisingly, that day of all days, the Hokage came to visit.

Iruka had gathered us all and took us to the Hokage's building. He showed us the lobby and explained what this building was for, i.e., assigning mission and the Hokage's work place, he then took us to the roof.

I looked around, the Hokage monument was right over our heard, Naruto's father looking down at us with a shadow of a smile. I smiled and looked at Naruto, for the first time the kid had been silent for more than five minutes. He looked at the other Hokages and smiled, I swear that kid must have known somewhere deep down who his real father was.

"Gather around children," Iruka called out making us sit facing the monument, "now, does anyone know why we are here?"

I raised my hand, "the Hokage is going to speak to us."

Iruka smiled and nodded, "very good Yami, but do you know why?"

"Because we're going to be kick ass ninjas!" Naruto cried out making everyone laugh.

"Naruto! Behave! This isn't the classroom where you can do whatever you wish!" Iruka yelled, his head seemingly growing many sizes bigger, huh, I have got to know how he does that!

"Oh it's fine Iruka-sensei, the children need to act their age after all," came an old and gravely, but kind voice. We all looked around and there he was, standing right under his own stone face carved over him, the third hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hokage

Lv- ?

REP- 5

The man smiled, "hello, it is nice to see such fine young boys and girls sitting here before me. Tell me Iruka, have they given you any trouble?"

Iruka smiled, "no lord Hokage, they are a very well behaved batch, well, expect Naruto."

"Hey!" Naruto cried out, "that's no way to speak to your future boss!"

The third smiled, "ah, yes, but you know Naruto, you actually have to get this hat to become the Hokage yes? Until then, Iruka is still your teacher and you must obey him, understood?"

Naruto grumbled, "yes jiji, sorry Iruka-sensei."

The teacher looked like he just saw a ghost. He turned to the Third with a look of awe, "how did you do that?"
