Chapter 5- The Sort of First Academy Day

I started checking out My shop once more. Seeing skills that I could try and copy with my mana I messed around with that for a while and eventually created a spell Called Mana Hand, which well grabbed my target with a hand made out of mana.

#Mana Hand Lv.1/00- For grabbing them hard to get items that are above you in a house, or just plain grabbing an enemy to immobilize him, this spell covers that all. Grabs Items in size up to 500 ft^3. Leveling up of this skill can reduce the cost of each type of size seperatly, as well as increasing the durability of the hand. Current Str to break the spell is 5.

Small-50 ft^3- 100 Mana

Medium-250 ft^3- 300 Mana

Large-500 ft^3- 500 Mana

I had a couple of other skill successes, but I didn't care as much about them. I also started working on my quest as much as I could. I had already learned to perform 12 of the Justus, but when I looked at their levels after practicing with them none of them had reached even level 4 yet. I needed live combat to level my skills faster or actual experience where there needed.

Funnily enough I even relearned my Dish Washing skills. Looking at the screen I felt like punching the power in it's metaphorical face. Something that I hadn't felt in many years. I also finally succeeded in meditating.

-Meditation Lv.1/50- A skill that allows many beneficial effects to be done to the body. Examples are reduced mental exhaustion, better growth of Wis after meditation calculated by the time you spent meditating divided by two for the duration, and the effectiveness being calculated depending on the level of the skill multiplied by 10%. Other benefits include increased regeneration of the body's Hp, Mp, and Cp as well as the ability to unlock specific skills into learnable one's such as Sage Mode skills. Also this skill adds to the user's Mp, and Cp pools separately of your other stats.

The Opness of the skill guaranteed that I was focusing some of my precious time on this skill. After I was done exploring skills for now I decided to take a semi-break and look at the things in the item containing part of the shop. There I found buildings, vehicles, people, and other amazing things. Looking at the souls of my friends, my family, my wife I couldn't help but wish I had the cash to bring them out now and revive them. However for now, I knew I needed to grow in strength before I started one, bringing people into this dangerous world out of nowhere, and two actually start killing creatures within the newest discovered function of my system. Dungeon Running. Turn's out the dungeons were no longer considered a skill, and were now a permanent part of my power as long as the gamer's Truth held up.

Now there was just one last thing on my schedule before I went to the Academy. I had to clean this house, and I knew I was NOT going to enjoy this.

------------------------------------Liney-The-Lieing-Line-Break--------------------------

Getting up from my cleaning session I started walking out the door heading towards the Academy. To tell the truth I wondered if I should be a ninja, however I didn't really want to be one. I supposed in this world it might not be to bad of a thing, I mean even my memories of this life said it was a good thing and that death wasn't always part of a mission; it was the stigma however associated with the name I couldn't suppress. To be fair though, in a village that screamed pro war or at least it's OK to kill your enemies especially those from other villages, it was obvious that being a shinobi had to be an over glorified job. Looking underneath the underneath you couldn't see another point to this besides the job being some over glorified proposition allowing the killing of someone. (Yes, that is a Naruto world pun. Enjoy that small little treat.)

As I kept heading towards the Academy I started comparing the differences I noticed between mana, and chakra. Mana I noticed is extremely versatile. Chakra however seemed to follow a stricter pattern in it's usage. On the plus side this meant my enemies had less versatility than me on the down side, well I noticed all chakra based attacks were stronger on average compared to mana.

As I walked I felt the glares surround me. The hatred was almost palpable becoming thicker the longer I stayed in it like a stew that kept on cooking long past it's time. Smiling at the people who gave me the worst glares I repaid the hatred with kindness rubbing them raw as I slowly went on my way. Unfortunately or fortunately dependent upon if you were asking my ears once I made it to my destination I got overloaded with messages.

Smiling I walked up and into my designated classroom that was within the building making it a bit earlier than my previous self. Looking around and finding no one in the classroom I went up to my desk and sat down. Afterwards I took a look at my skills and selected Chakra Dash deciding to plan ways for which I could use it to the best of my abilities. Grabbing a pencil I used it as a means to practice my dex by trying pen tricks waiting for the rest of my class to arrive.

*Showman Tricks*- Lv.1/00- Number of Showman tricks you can use.

-Pen Tricks- Lv.1/5- Auxiliary skill for life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had waited quite a while for everyone had come in and sit down. Some of the kids were obviously surprised to see me here at school early. Other kids just accepted it. After all it would only be a couple days they would have to put up with me for a longer time until the Exams would save them.

Ding: 13 Dex achieved

Of course I had also gained 3 Dex while I had been waiting. It seemed leveling up skills related to a certain stat had the best effects of leveling up that stat. The progress however got pitiful to keep going after once I had reached a certain point. That was because I had leveled out my pen tricks skill. Unfortunately it turned out Auxiliary skills leveled up extremely fast. Another point I was starting to question about my new life dealt with how my muscles were treated by the game.

The muscles were treated equally by my power in my old life. Did that mean that this new life of mine now treated it unequally in training, was this the reason my stats seemed to be leveling up so slowly. But still the points acted the same and gave me my deserved points that spread to all my muscle's equally once they took effect. It appeared to be a new mechanic after coming to this world that would prevent me from gaming the system. I would just have to design training schedules that would work on all of my muscles equally to get the most out of my stat training from now on.

At this moment the door was slammed shut. Seeing Iruka up in front of the class I realized I had zoned out in a self monologue once again. It made me wonder sometimes if I was a main character of a story that kept talking on and on without any end in sight. Still wasn't self monologues usually left to the villain in a story so they could feel important. Of course however such a thing wouldn't actually be the case. Taking role the man named Iruka, according to my memories, realized with delight I was actually on time today for the first time in weeks. Deciding to give his all in this lecture Iruka got out a book and started double checking his lesson as he gave it making sure never to make a single mistake which could hurt the learning of his precious students. Listening in I realized just how stupid my new self was compared to the rest of this class. Thankfully while my Int was not as good as it used to be, it would be more than enough to catch up in a couple weeks of self study. The teacher was teaching us herbs, foods, and different tricks for survival that we might need on our missions. I of course took as much of it as I could. Honestly I wished the school at my home had this sort of information. I may have actually tried to find a way to stay in school with this kind of stuff.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The class had lasted forever. I looked up at the board for the final time trying to commit everything to memory before it was to late to do anything about it. After a couple of minutes Iruka Finally wiped off everything on the board leaving a few sighs to echo around the room at those who couldn't write all the information down in their notes. Sighing to myself I hoped I could remember all of it when I needed in the future.

"OK, class it's time to go outside and start the practice for today. After all a good shinobi needs to be both studious, and a hard working, physical laboring machine. Now hurry up and get outside," the teacher, Iruka, voiced out to all the mentally tired kids in the room plus one 'Naruto.... or is it Han, well ignore that thought for later' mentally older man.

Almost ready to start walking out the door of the classroom as the last one out, I couldn't wait to get down the stairs of the building and start on something worth while in my stats. That was when I had a stupid thought. Could I just Jump from the second floor down to the training field. After all I was currently stronger than a normal human in my old life, and with my free falling experience in my previous life I should be able to pull it off. Maybe I could deal with it while having a low Hp being used as my health and shield, and my Physical Endurance taking off 5 Damage from any potential I would suffer. Still the cosmetic effect should be turned off for this. I didn't want my legs breaking on me and bleeding out freaking out everyone in the class.

I definitely didn't want to be classified as insane. Plus if I carried on with the plan I bet I could even level up the Physical durability skill. That of course made my decision right then and there with my lowered Wis compared to my once infinetly high amount. I was doing this. Without letting me think any further I walked over to the window opened it up and jumped out with one swift practiced motion. (From escaping his mad wife in his past life.) As I was falling to the ground it then hit me just how stupid of a decision I had made. Was my Wis truly above 100? If so why hadn't it stopped me from making this stupid decision. Then my feet hit the ground and I regretted everything, so, so, so, so, so, so much. I hated not having a skill to ignore pain at this moment.

Screaming on the inside I watched as my health slid down until it was exactly 5 points from my death. I was immediately glad I had gotten Physical Endurance earlier. Still a bit of doubt creeped into my mind looking at the coincidental point age compared to my shield. I truly wondered if I wasn't part of a novel. Looking up now that the pain had settled I looked up to see a surprised group of kids looking out the window. Thinking quickly I yelled up at them getting them out of their shock "Hurry and get down here. I need as much practice as I can get." I swore someone snorted at the comment.

------------------------------------------Uwu-at-This-Line-Break---------------------------------

Thanks to my quick response all the nervousness of me being hurt was gone from those upstairs who had watched my fall, and a bit of surprise and appreciation blossomed in a few hearts that belonged to the kids. Of course some other kids grew fearful of the monster growing stronger. After a few moments all the pain had fully left and I managed to look over at my Physical Endurance skill in peace.

Physical Endurance: 9 level ups

Nothing but happiness blossomed in my soul. I would need this, somehow instinctively I knew. Looking over at my health to see how fast it healed in this life compared to my last I noticed no change in my healing speed when my stats were this level thanks to my Jinchuriki skill compared to without it. I had discovered and gained a passive skills called Passive Jinchuriki Regen. It seemed the skill auto corrected any damage even bypassing the sentience of my perk. It allowed me to actually heal my Hp instead of what physically looked hurt. I noticed something else though at this moment that caused time, at least in my eyes to stop.

"The Nine Tail Fox has awakened from the Host's stupid course of actions resulting in potential suicide."
