Dinner

After escaping from being touched by a bunch of strangers, Eragon looked towards the sky. Noticing the sun still didn't reach the middle of the sky he figured he might as well do some training.

'Nami, I will give you one day off considering everything you've went through' Even in the far distance he could still hear the gleeful people celebrating Arlong's death.

On his way back to his ship he passed by the beach to pick his buried treasures. Reaching the ship, he placed the treasures back into the storage room and made sure to lock the room tightly this time, even placing some seals for good measures before he was reassured Nami won't get his money this time.

Opening the system interface Eragon hesitated for a few seconds before he hardened his determination and used his free experienced points to advance the skill [Ninjutsu] to the next level.

Usually, he won't use his experience points needlessly and will only use them when he needed them according to the situation he was in. But seeing the might of the fire attack earlier that day got him quite excited. He believed that [Ninjutsu] at level 8 will get him some good stuff.

This wasn't the first time Eragon saw a message of this kind. As of lately, every time a skill involving a massive information transfer, the system asked him this exact same question before the skill level up.

After pressing yes the skill finally leveled up.

A burst of explosive information subsequently flooded into Eragon's mind in what could only be described as a massive influx of data.

Holding his head with both of his hands Eragon fell on the ground from the splitting headache. The sharp pain was coming in pulses just like waves, so unrelenting it falsely gave the sensation the pain will never go away.

Steeling himself, Eragon did his best to concentrate on the knowledge that was being stuffed into his head. The information was very diverse, ranging from one element to another.

After half an hour the headache finally faded, taking deep breaths to soothe his breathing, Eragon couldn't help but remember the time he bought the chakra skill.

Although the headache was pretty overwhelming this time as well, the two times can't even start to be compared. With the chakra skill, he felt that his very soul was in pain and even he blacked out from the pain eventually.

When everything was normal again Eragon surveyed the information in his head to organize it, he stopped at some jutsus to check them out before proceeding. A few for example were the jutsus 'Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique' and 'Earth Release: Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique'

Being too close to the village Eragon didn't want to attract attention so he didn't make his ship fly, even though he was quite tempted.

With these techniques he could finally achieve his dream, flying. However, he quickly realized there were two big shortcomings to this form of flight. The first was the decrease in physical force in his attacks, since he will be using weight reduction to fly then his attacks would be light as well. The second problem was his speed, he couldn't increase his speed mid-air, which made dodging quite impossible.

Even after considering all the disadvantages, Eragon wasn't too much disappointed 'I think this technique would be quite a good combination while using the Marins technique, Geppo.. And besides, I can always use it solely for traveling'

After being familiar with all his new techniques, Eragon put four bracelets on his hands and legs, he wore the armor on his chest before he increased their weight, Calculating the weight distributed on his body was at least 650 kilos. Leaving his ship he returned to the deserted beach he found yesterday and started his training there so he won't be disturbed.

'Since the next closest major skill to the next level is [Chakra], I should have the shadow clones concentrate on it' After considering for a moment he decided to concentrate on one skill instead of multiple ones. Every time [Chakra] raised level not only did his chakra reserves increase but he also got some knowledge about Fuinjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu. Oddly enough even with the knowledge in his head still didn't get any sub-skill to match.

'Let's begin'

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

The 10 shadow clones that were just created changed their appearances just in case someone stumbled upon the beach by accident, he really didn't want to kill any innocents in order to protect his secrets. Looking at his shadow clones sitting down and circulating their chakra, Eragon couldn't help but sigh In frustration, 10 shadow clones were his current upper limit, any more and he won't be able to sustain them during his training. It was a far cry from Naruto's endless shadow clones but he still had hope that in time his [Chakra] skill will reach a high enough level to also allow him to have a limitless chakra supply.

1, 2, 3, ..

Getting down to business, Eragon started doing pushups before proceeding to another exercise. He only rested for a short break every hour, until eventually darkness arrived.

*Thump*

"Huff huff, Ahhh I am so tired!" Lying down on the sand, Eragon's chest was expanding and constricting fast, trying to get as much oxygen as it could in each breath. Feeling his muscles cringe after the intense workout, he couldn't help but smile. He always enjoyed the sensation after a good workout.

Still lying down he released the shadow clones.

*Poof!*

[Chakra + 3,931 exp]

[Chakra Control + 183 exp]

'If after every training session I will receive the same amount of experience points, [Chakra] will probably reach the next level in… a little over 2 weeks' Standing up, Eragon calculated while he headed towards his ship 'With a larger chakra reserve I should be able to sustain more shadow clones, which in turn will increase my training speed'

Satisfied with his gains for the day, he reached his ship only to find uninvited guests.

"Eragon! Where have you been for the last couple of hours? Did you get lost or something?" Without even bothering with pleasantries, an orange-haired young woman started complaining.

"Hello to you too Nami" Not bothering to answer her questions, Eragon got on his ship before he turned his attention to the average-sized young woman standing next to Nami.

She had light blue hair and tanned skin, her right arm was heavily tattooed. she was wearing beige sleeveless shirt blue trousers and purple sandals. Furthermore, she appears to wear pink lip gloss. Looking towards her chest he noticed her assets were even bigger than Nami and Caroline!

He immediately recognized her as Nojiko, Nami's sister.

Noticing Eragon examining her body, Nojiko didn't get angry and instead she smiled and reached her hand for a handshake "Hello Eragon, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, I am Nami's sister and my name is Nojiko. I hope you won't mind we boarded your ship without permission, Nami said it's ok"

"I'm sure she did, it's a pleasure to meet you too" Shaking Nojiko soft hand, Eragon smiled back "Nami said she had a sister but she failed to mention your beauty"

"Hehe thank you very much" Nojiko Smile got even bigger and she blushed slightly.

Can't standing the sight of the two of them getting along, Nami pulled Nojiko back and gave a blaming look to Eragon "Oh please, you already have a girlfriend so why are you flirting with women behind Caroline's back?"

"It's not called flirting if it's the truth" Answering righteously, Eragon took off his armor and throw it on the deck before he looked back at them "So to what do I owe the pleasure? Are you finally ready to leave with me, Nami?"

Before Nami got the chance to speak, Nojiko beat her to it "In fact, we are here to invite you to have dinner at our house, what do you say?"

"I told you already sis, he's very busy so he probably can't" Not giving Eragon a chance to answer, Nami immediately said while trying to give him hints with her eyes.

Understanding what was going on, Eragon grinned "I would love to have dinner with you girls, but how about we will have it here on the ship? My kitchen is well stuffed and I'm sure I will have every ingredient you need"

Thinking for a moment Nojiko eventually said "If it won't be too much of a bother then that would be great!"

"Excellent, then I will hit the shower while Nami will show you the kitchen" When Eragon was half his way to the shower he suddenly remembered something "Oh right, the storage room is locked since I had an unfortunate encounter with some thieves recently, so if you need anything from it be sure to call me" Shooting a brief look at the sullen Nami he entered the shower.
