4 Training 2
Right now, I am helping an old woman carry her shopping bags.
I happened to see her on my way home, when I received a quest.
[Quest List:
Name: Good Samaritan.
Description: Help the old woman with her shopping bags.
Rewards: +50 EXP, [Friend of the Elders] Perk!
Failure: [Enemy of the Elders] Handicap!
Accept? Y/N]
I did not intend to plant a flag, therefore I avoided commenting on the difficulty of the search and agreed.
From the name of the advantage, I can assume that it is some kind of increase in the favoritism of the elderly towards me.
If that's the case, considering that the Third Hokage is currently around 62 years old, it would be very beneficial.
However, the downside must be the opposite, which is just as bad.
"Are you sure it's okay, Kuro-kun? We're almost there, if you feel tired I can continue on my own." The old woman, named Toshi, showed her concern.
I am carrying the heavy bags, while Toshi has the lightest. Still, I don't even feel them.
I gently shook my head. "I'm fine, Grandma Toshi. Like I said before, I'll be entering the academy soon; these things are nothing."
Because the old woman was not convinced that I could help her, I had to use the letter from the academy.
Even so, this is the third time she has asked me something similar.
Toshi sighed with a grateful look.

- (Kuro's House) -
I am sitting in one of the armchairs in the living room, with 3 tree leaves on my forehead.
What I'm doing is called Concentrating Leaf Practice.
It can be used to better control the chakra, but its true purpose is to increase your ability to concentrate.
I open my eyes and remove the leaves from my forehead.
The reason I do this exercise with more than one sheet is for multitasking; as well as to get used to moving the chakra.
I got up from the couch and lay down facing the wall.
I raised both legs and prop my feet against the wall.
What I'm going to do is called; Tree Climbing Practice. But without the tree.
I could do it the same way as in the Anime and maybe get some ability to resist falling or physical damage.
However, I have plenty of time for that. Also one of my future plans is to get all the possible resistances.
For now, I'm going to focus on chakra control skills.
Slowly sending the chakra to the soles of my feet, I begin to step on the wall.
Little by little I increase the amount, until at a certain moment, I raise my upper body, being parallel with the ground.
I took a few steps up and went back down.
[Ding!]
[New technique [Tree Climbing] learned!]
No intelligence points… Well, technically I didn't create any skills;
[Tree Climbing - Lvl: 1
Allows walking on trees and on vertical walls.]
I sat down on the couch again.
I'll have to wait for tomorrow to grind the skill, at least I want it to get to the point where I can run through the trees.
Now I will move on to the chakra training.
I can only assume that with enough encouragement, it is possible to increase it.
Putting my hands together, I went through the hand seals.
Dog → Boar → Ram.
'Henge no Jutsu!'
* Poof *
A cloud of smoke covered my vision.
Once the smoke clears, it is revealed to Teuchi sitting on the couch.
Now that my chakra control increased from E to D, the Henge no Jutsu consumption dropped to 10 CP.
That means I can keep the transformation for 30 seconds.
Ram → Snake → Tiger
'Bunshin no Jutsu!'
[-5 CP]
* Poof *
Another Teuchi appeared sitting next to me.
The cloning jutsu also had a decrease in consumption.
After a few seconds, I discarded the clone, at the same time that my transformation ended.

I leveled up by completing the old woman's quest.
Also, my guess was correct;
[Friend of the Elders
Slightly increased favoritism with people over 60 years of age.]
I let out a small sigh as I went back to using the transform and creating another clone.
Even if grinding is very tedious, the results are always satisfactory.
- (00:22 a.m.) -
Spend chakra and meditate.
It is what I did for hours, however, I managed to prove that it is possible to increase the chakra with enough stimulation.

[Bunshin no Jutsu - Lvl: 9

Cost: 5 CP.]
Besides the increase in level, nothing changed in skills.
However, I became more experienced with hand signs, increasing the speed when doing them.
Thanks to that I got +1 in Dexterity.
Also, I can create more clones, which is why the level of Bunshin no Jutsu is slightly higher.
I'm going to take a shower and when I go out I cook a simple roast beef. I need to buy a cookbook as soon as possible.
I brush my teeth and go into the bedroom
Before I go to sleep, I make sure to use up my chakra reserves, but not enough to be dangerous.
Even if I don't need to sleep, it is very difficult to let go of the habit.
Once I set the alarm to go off at 06:00; I let myself be embraced by the kingdom of dreams.
.
.
.
*Ring~!* Ring~!*
I turn off the alarm clock and open my eyes.
[You have slept in a bed. HP & CP have been completely restored.]
I let out a resigned sigh and stood up.
Still in pajamas, I head to the bathroom to relieve myself.
I took a shower and changed my clothes.
I decided not to cook breakfast today. I just had a glass of milk and a piece of bread.
Taking money to buy ingredients and a cookbook with recipes, I left the house.
I activated stealth and headed to the same training ground as yesterday.
.
.
.
I received an interesting mission when I entered the training ground.
[Name: Daily fitness training!
Description: Complete the following series of exercises before the end of the day.
0/100 sit-ups.
0/100 push-ups.
0/100 squats
0/10 km.
Rewards: +40 EXP, +1 Strength, +1 Dexterity, +1 Vitality.
Failure: None.
Accept? Y / N]
I accepted the mission and sat cross-legged, in the same place as yesterday.
I entered the meditative state and used the chakra sense.
The unfortunate thing about the ability is that any sensor could sense it; because I am using chakra.
However, I am hopeful that at a higher level, the skill will go unnoticed.
Checking that no one is around, I used meditation to regain chakra.
Once I finished, I started doing the exercises.

In addition to the rewards the mission gave me, just doing the exercises also increased my attributes.
I activated the chakra sense, but only 1 meter around me and headed for the nearby lake.
.
.
.
Once there, I used meditation to regain the lost chakra.
By the way;
[Meditation (Active) Lvl: 3
+ 15% to HP regeneration.
+ 15% to CP regeneration.]
Last night it only went up 2 levels, despite all its use.
What I'm going to do now is the water walking exercise.
I sat on the edge of the lake, my legs submerged up to my knees.
I picked them up and placed my feet on the surface.
I waited until the water was rippleless, sent chakra to the soles of my feet and slowly rested them on the surface.
Some ripples were created, forcing me to raise or lower the chakra accordingly.
After a few minutes, I got used to the sensation and lifted my body, standing on the water.
I stayed like that for a moment, then took my first step.
I moved a little away from the shore and came back.
[Ding!]
[New technique [Water Walking] learned!]
[Water Walking - Lvl: 1
Allows walking on water and on watery surfaces.]
'Nice.'
.
.
It is around 1 in the afternoon when I decided to stop training.
Both skills are now at level 4.
Now I can run on trees and water, however I can't do any Jutsu while I'm at it.
Nor can I stand on water without the need to actively send my chakra.
I suspect that when I can cast Jutsus while on water or in trees, my chakra control will level up.
