3 Training
Right now I am at the training ground at the northeast end of the village.
After I finished eating the best ramen in my two lives, I went in search of a more secluded training ground.
I avoided the ones that are close to the Clans and focused on the ones closest to the limits.
Even so, there is still a clan that could be considered close; the Inuzuka Clan.
Fortunately, they have another training ground even closer, so the chances of them coming here are very slim.
The Commemorative Stone is between the Inuzuka Clan and the training ground where I am now.
Therefore, in the remote case that some of the more sensitive Ninken manage to smell my chakra or my presence, they would think that I am at the Commemorative Stone and not in the training ground.
Anyway, on my way here I discovered something very interesting about statistics.
.
.
.
It was a team of 3 Genin and their rank leader Jounin. They were painting a house and mowing the lawn.
I initially wanted to use the [Observe] skill from a considerable distance, but it didn't work.
I had to zoom in until his features are a little clearer for it to work.
Although I had to test it on a nearby civilian because I didn't know if the Shinobi would notice that I used the ability or not.
I approached a fairly crowded fruit stand, used the [Stealth] skill, and mingled with the crowd.
Even if they manage to notice something, they won't know where it came from.
My first target is the Genin.
[Observe]
[Ran Domu
Age: 12
CP: 1.100/1.100
Strength: 10
Vitality: 10
Dexterity: 11
Intelligence: 9
Chakra: 11
Chakra Control: E]
While coming here I used [Observe] on many civilians, and now, looking at the attributes these Genin have, I have an idea of my strength.
For example, the statistics for civilians are never above 10. Even seeing someone with that limit is extremely rare.
Of all the civilians I saw, only one was 10 and was on the Strength stat. And I can assume it was due to my having slightly higher than average amounts of chakra.
Meanwhile, these Genin were able to surpass that limit, although only sometimes. It must be because they are recent graduates, since they all have around the same numbers; with the highest being a 13 in Chakra.
Saving those thoughts for another moment, I fix my gaze on the Jounin.
[Observe]
[Taipu Randamu
Age: 28
CP: 13.900/13.900
Strength: 150
Vitality: 149
Dexterity: 149
Intelligence: 146
Chakra: 139
Chakra Control: B]
I left the fruit stand the moment I use [Observe], but the status of the Jounin remains in my view, at least until I decide otherwise or another notification replaces it.
On the other hand, even if I don't know how strong this Jounin is compared to others of the same rank, thanks to [Gamer's Mind], my spirit doesn't waver when looking at those numbers.
'Even though I find it hard to believe he's so smart…' While I was having these thoughts, I unconsciously focused my gaze on the Intelligence statistic.
Suddenly; the status of the Jounin was replaced by another window.
[Intelligence: It can represent many characteristics related to the brain, such as; speed of thought, memory, or perception during high-speed activity.
Statistics vary from user to user.]
'How convenient.' I thought, pleasantly surprised.
After reading the description, I understood.
The Jounin's high intelligence is combat oriented; basically, it's for the brain to keep up with the battle.
This is not to say that the Jounin is a fool, just the statistic shows the focus of the target's mind.
In the case of the members of the Nara Clan, it would be a high IQ, as well as a higher speed of thought; but they would still have a perception in battle, they are still ninjas after all.
I quickly open my status and focus my gaze on the other stats.
To sum up;
Strength represents how much damage the blows do, the power with which we throw an object and how much weight you can lift.
Vitality, for people without the system, represents physical endurance; how much damage they can take, how long it will take for them to deplete after strenuous activity, etc.
In my case, in addition to all that, it also represents my HP, as well as the regeneration of it.
The reason why no one has HP other than me also lies there. As long as my Health Points do not reach 0 I will continue living.
Dexterity is very similar to Intelligence; it also depends on the user.
In a Shinobi it would be the speed of movement, a greater ability to launch and greater fluidity in the stunts, etc.
At Teuchi, on the other hand, it would be his prowess when it comes to cooking, serving food, etc.
The Chakra ... well it tells you how much CP you have; although it is only available to people with amounts slightly above average.
And the Chakra Control is, as its name says; the ability to better control the chakra. Avoid wasting when launching a Jutsu, etc.

Strength: 1
Vitality: 3
Dexterity: 2
Intelligence: 7
Chakra: 3
Chakra Control: E
Stat Points: 5]
I got +1 Vitality when I got to the training ground.
I also gained +1 Intelligence, however I'm embarrassed to say I don't know when I got it.
Now I have 5 Stat Points; but I won't use them for now.
It is better to wait until I reach the limit of what I can achieve by exercising.
Also, I don't know if it is possible to increase the Chakra with exercises or it can only be done using points.
Anyway, before I start training I want to try to get some new skills.
At least one that allows me to feel my surroundings or the nearby chakra signatures.
It would be bad enough if someone found out any of my secrets.
While I was having these thoughts, I received a new mission.
[Ding!]
[Quest Alert!
Name: Protect your secrets!
Description: Get a sensory skill before the day is out!
Rewards: +100 EXP, +1 LVL in sensory skill learned!
Failure: None.
Accept? Y / N]
I accept the quest and with renewed motivation, I start.
I sit in the shade of a tree, with my legs crossed and my eyes closed.
Taking a deep breath, I let my body relax and empty my mind, trying to feel the surroundings.
A few minutes passed without effect, but my persistence paid off.
However, the reaction was inside my body.
I started to feel something warm where my stomach should be.
With growing curiosity, I focused all my concentration on that point.
However, I was interrupted by a sound that echoed in my head.
[Ding!]
[New skill [Meditation] learned!]
[For learning a skill without a guide; +1 Intelligence!]
'Now I understand… When I got the [Stealth] skill I should have gotten that point in intelligence.' I understood after seeing the notification; However, at the time he was very busy playing— * Cough * * Cough * ... Inspecting, he was busy inspecting the cat. That's it.
Clearing those thoughts, I opened the new ability.
[Meditation (Active) Lvl: 1
+ 5% to HP regeneration.
+ 5% to CP regeneration.]
It is not what I expected, but I am satisfied.
I go back to the state I was in before, but this time, I bring all my consciousness to the outside.
The chirping of the birds, the breeze of the wind and the swaying trees were the things that fill my senses.
Suddenly, I remembered the warm spring I felt when I got the [Meditation] skill.
I brought a little of that chakra to my senses and something changed.
The small chakra signatures of the animals around me appeared in my perception, like stars in the night sky. The furthest signatures are very faint and even flickering.
Unfortunately, I can't tell who the signatures belong to, just their size.
[Ding!]
[New skill [Chakra Sense] learned!]
[For learning a skill without a guide; +1 Intelligence!]
[Ding!]
[Quest Complete!

[Ding!]
[Level Up!]
[The [Chakra Sense] skill has leveled up!]
I quickly check out the new skill.
[Chakra Sense Lvl: 2
Allows to slightly feel the presence and the chakra of living beings around the user.
The scope depends on the CPs used.
Hand seals: 0
The potency is doubled if used in a meditative state.]
'Pretty good.' I thought with satisfaction.
Use the skill in the normal state and apparently each meter of distance equals 10 CP.
Unfortunately, I can only feel the largest chakra signatures.
Meanwhile, in the meditative state I am able to feel smaller signatures and even the CP consumption is slightly lower.
I spend 200 CP and extend my perception up to 20 meters.
The highest chakra signature I can feel belongs to a rabbit, if the way it jumps is any indication.
Letting out a sigh, slightly tired, I check my stats.

'Apparently, the sensory ability was enough to increase my chakra control ...' I thought as I started to use the [Meditation] skill.
-( 15 minutes later )-
All right, with that done; it's time for physical training.
100 sit-ups.
100 push-ups.
100 squats.
A 10 km race.
The Legendary Bald Man in Cloak's training method will do wonders for my attributes.
- (A series of exercises later) -
[Ding!]
[New Skill [Body Conditioning] learned!]
[Body Conditioning (Passive) Lvl: 1
Increases your body's Strength, Dexterity and Vitality through training.
+ 1% to physical damage.
+ 1% to movement speed.
-1% to physical damage taken.
+ 1% to physical stat growth rate.]
I got this ability right after finishing the 10 km.
Despite having the [Gamer's Body] I still feel slightly tired.
There was also an increase of 2 in each of my physical attributes.

Sighing slightly, I get up.
Now that physical attributes can really be increased with training, only the chakra would remain.
Unfortunately, looking at the orange sky, I don't think it's possible.
Still, I can do it at home.
Activating [Stealth], which is now level 5, I go back the way I came.
