5 Chakra Nature

[Congratulations, you have learnt a new skill]

[You have learnt the skill 'Leaf Concentration'.]

While Renjiro was thinking, he heard a robotic sound in his head followed by a blue translucent screen popping up in front of him.

'A new skill?'

His skills tab, which previously only showed the Sharingan, now had two skills. Since he was with Miwa, he willed more information about the new skill and he got the skill description.

[Leaf concentration - (Active/Passive)(LV. 1): A skill obtained through continuously focusing chakra to stick a leaf to a part of your body. A basic technique to help the user's mind focus and Increase chakra control. ]

'Was it that easy to get a new skill? Anyway, if it helps me become stronger sign me up!'

[AN:/ The main Use of the system would be to quantify his strength and show his progress. The system will not give any tasks or missions.]

Renjiro was pleased since this would help him see his progress whenever he practised.

'It says it is on the first level, What is the max level? Does it even have a level cap?'

Knowing that this wouldn't lead him anywhere, Renjiro decided to focus on Miwa's guidance. He was ready to learn anything of help.

Renjiro was glad Miwa helped him as he underwent a huge breakthrough. It also helped him warm up a bit towards Miwa. Miwa of course, noticed this and revelled in it.

After having a majority of his chakra-based questions satiated by Miwa, he headed back to his room. The mental Fatigue he had could not allow him to continue with the chakra control techniques or his physical condition.

'What to do next?'

Having nothing else to do, Renjiro decided to head to the clan library. His top priority, besides chakra control exercises and physical conditioning, was to get a basic taijutsu technique and find ways how he could improve his Sharingan.

As Renjiro entered the library, he was met with the hushed reverence that permeated the air. What struck him most was the library's organization, a reflection of the Uchiha's commitment to precision and detail. The shelves were meticulously divided into sections, each tailored to a different level of proficiency: Genin, Chunin, Jonin, and beyond. 

He was not even an academy student, at least not yet, so the knowledge he could access was limited. Renjiro's gaze swept across the library, searching for the knowledge that would help him advance his Sharingan. He knew that the library held the keys to unlocking the secrets of his dojutsu.

But Renjiro was disappointed. The knowledge he sought, the secrets of training and evolving his Sharingan, remained elusive. 

The Uchiha had long held their dojutsu close to their hearts, guarding it from prying eyes and potential enemies. Such invaluable knowledge was not casually written down, for fear that it might fall into the wrong hands. 

Instead, the methods and techniques for training the Sharingan were passed down through word of mouth, from mentor to pupil, in the crucible of training and experience.

'This puts a spanner in my plans. Now I have to rely on Miwa for Guidance on this too.'

Renjiro Lamented. He did not like to depend on others. But his current circumstances could not allow him to do as he pleases.

'Hope I do get a Taijutsu Technique. It would greatly help in my workouts.'

Renjiro moved to the Taijutsu section of the library. Most of the information available to him was the basic taijutsu used in the academy and the one used by the clan. 

The taijutsu technique was called the Interceptor fist. This was something that Renjiro did not remember from the anime. It only made sense that since they had their own signature ninjutsu and genjutsu they would also have their own signature Taijutsu.

'I remember Sasuke copying Rock Lee's moves I just thought that they used their sharingan to copy their opponent's moves and integrate them into their fighting style.'

After getting the technique, he moved to the ninjutsu section of the library. Most of the jutsus there were E ranked with a majority of them being of fire chakra nature. No surprise.

'Hmm lemme see, the fireball jutsu that Fugaku taught his sons isn't Here. I guess he wouldn't teach them a weak jutsu.'

Renjiro was disappointed that the jutsus present were not up to par. But considering they were E rank, it was expected. He was only looking at the jutsu section due to curiosity. 

He did not want to start practising Ninjutsu just yet. Renjiro wanted to spend the next three months or more with his current training plan to build a good foundation or, at least, a semblance of it. Plus, it was evident that his chakra control was not at an acceptable level.

As Renjiro was about to exit the library, his sharp and observant eyes caught a peculiar scene unfolding at the Library Help Desk. A young Uchiha, undoubtedly a genin or an academy student, stood there engaged in conversation with the librarian. In the librarian's outstretched hand, a delicate piece of paper rested, a fragment of parchment that intrigued Renjiro. 

This paper, although seemingly ordinary at first glance, exuded an air of intrigue that couldn't escape his keen perception. It held a subtle and compelling aura that drew him in. Renjiro paused for a moment, a surge of curiosity guiding his instincts as he examined the paper more closely, his Sharingan's perceptive gaze capturing every detail.

The texture of the paper, as he touched it, proved to be unlike common parchment. It possessed an almost ethereal smoothness as if it had been meticulously crafted from the finest and most delicate fibres, interwoven with care. 

The colour of the paper was fascinating. At first glance, it appeared to be pristine ivory. However, upon closer examination, Renjiro's discerning eyes detected subtle streaks of light blue woven intricately into the fibres, resembling veins of chakra subtly infused within.

The size of the paper, no larger than the palm of one's hand, hinted at its specificity of purpose. It was designed for a singular and focused endeavour.

What truly set this paper apart was the faint, ephemeral glow that seemed to emanate from its very surface. The soft, cerulean luminescence danced upon the page, casting intricate and intricate patterns that resembled chakra in motion. It was a visual manifestation of energy, a silent testament to the power that flowed through it.

Renjiro couldn't help but recognize it with a sense of certainty. This was no ordinary piece of parchment. 

'Is that a chakra paper? It definitely is.'

Renjiro decided to follow the prepubescent Uchiha ninja who had requested it. He approached the Library Help Desk and addressed the librarian with a quiet but determined tone.

"Excuse me," he began, "I'd like to request a piece of chakra paper, please."

The librarian nodded and reached for a fresh sheet of chakra paper, recognizing Renjiro as another inquisitive member of the clan despite being taken aback by his crimson hair. She handed it to him, and Renjiro accepted it with a gracious nod of thanks.

However, unlike the young Uchiha he had observed earlier, Renjiro had a different intention. He sought to keep the results of his chakra affinity test private, away from prying eyes and curious onlookers. 

'I'll use this when I get home,'

Renjiro said, his voice carrying a sense of determination. He wanted to ensure that the information regarding his elemental affinity remained confidential, known only to him. At the very least, he wanted to control what he allowed others to know and what he could keep to himself.

Renjiro knew that even such details about him could lead to his demise at the enemy's hands. Imagine if they were only prepared to counter his fire release then he uses water release. It never hurt having another ace up your sleeve.

With the chakra paper securely in his possession, Renjiro was now free to discover his chakra affinity in solitude, away from the library's curious glances. 

As Renjiro arrived at his home, he was filled with quiet anticipation. Inside the confines of his room, bathed in the soft glow of twilight, he set the chakra paper on a small, unassuming table.

'What were the results again? Crumpling up means lightning, getting damp means water, splitting into two means wind, burning up means fire and turning into dirt and crumbling away means earth.'

With a deep breath and a sense of determination, Renjiro focused his chakra, allowing it to flow from his being into the paper. Renjiro watched with bated breath as the chakra paper, which had absorbed his chakra, began to respond to his inner energy. 

To his surprise, the paper exhibited quite a dramatic transformation. It first, split neatly in half. Then, in a sudden burst of intensity, the paper ignited, the flames consuming it until nothing remained but a pile of fine, delicate ashes.

'What the hell??'
