Chapter 8

I had fallen asleep after I arrived in my room. After waking up at 9 am in the morning, I went to eat food at the dining hall after brushing my teeth immediately. Just dried beef jerky was naturally did not fill up my stomach back during the mission. I was happy though because I had gotten loot of more than 150,000 ryo in cash from the bandit base . So I can eat expensive food at Ichiraku and Akimichi Barbecue restaurant without fear .

Neko told me that I could go and receive my leaf forehead Protector along with anbu uniform from the items counter now . He was litte sad because we wont have chance to meet in future anytime soon . I was little sad too but the joy of finally becoming an anbu easily overpowered the sadness . First I wanted to allocate my points because increasing my strenght is most important for me after all .

After returning to my room , I had a refreshing bath with warm water first before drinking tea and then sending my consciousness inside my mental palace . The number of free points exceeded my expectations so I was grinning while gazing at the huge noticeboard.

STAT POINTS - 18

SKILL POINTS - 9

After rejoicing mentally for a while , I swiftly allocated all the stat points to chakra control which increased to 93 percent . Now using ninjutsu will cost much lesser chakra than before and it will be easy to level up medical ninjutsu skills too .

Skill points were only half the amount of stat points but I was not dissatisfied with that at all . I decided to save the skill points because I was going to get Shadow Clone jutsu now and wanted to quickly increase its level .

It was time to get my ninja gear so I went to the items counter immediately. The female anbu at the counter guided me towards a small room where I had my photo taken for the ninja registration form . After that she gave me my black anbu uniform, 100 kunai ,100 shuriken , 5 low level sealing scrolls and of course my ninja head protector which I gladly recieved . The village was really generous as with these free items , I saved more than twenty thousand ryo already.

Next stop was the library counter because I wanted to see if I could get Shadow clone jutsu for free as it was a B rank jutsu and I had no idea whether I could get them easily like C rank jutsu .

" Haha.. I had the least expectations from you but you Brat actually passed the graduation mission with highest Marks... Well done brat."

I was speechless because this demon masked senior ninja really had no shame saying this on my face . To hell with your expectations old man.. I wanted to tell as such at his face but did not wanted to die soon so suppressed my desire inside my heart instead .

" Anbu genin have some privileges so you can get three B rank jutsu every year from the anbu library. Brat be thankful because the normal genins even struggle with getting C rank jutsu . For more techniques you can only exchange from this counter using merit points in future. Brat .. you must have gotten your registration form , show it to me . "

I gave him the form without any questions because I was feeling happy that I can get three free B rank jutsu . I can get these jutsu already which are mostly practiced by jonin so of course I would be happy.

" Hmm.. you have merits enough for 2 C rank missions already. Brat , you can exchange them for a B rank jutsu when you have merit points of 10 C rank missions or 1 B rank mission in your name . Remember to keep track on your merit points from now on , alright? "

I thanked the uncle because he was kind enough to remind me of such matters which I had no concrete idea about before .

" Senior , I want to to exchange for Shadow Clone , Dragon Flame Bullet and Exploding Flame Pillar Jutsu with my free quota . " I could use these B rank jutsu well so I immediately searched through the list and told the names to the senior anbu .

After few minutes the anbu came back holding three scrolls and gave them to me. I was delighted and could not help but stare blankly at the scrolls in my hands for a while before storing them inside my backpack and leaving the base for my house at the Sarutobi Clan Compound.

My house could use a heavy cleaning now so I used about one hour of my time to clean it . I was happy because I was finally free to go anywhere I want unlike when only inside the base was my world for two whole months .

After having a bath and changing into white yukata , I unrrled the three new jutsu scrolls on the ground and used my mind eye to quickly scan their contents . I grinned as I could see the new skills on my skill tree and burnt the three scrolls as per the norm . I could not keep them completely safe with me yet after all .

I immediately mentally allocated my 9 skill points to shadow clone jutsu and it directly leveled up to level 10 ( max ) from Level 1 .

After the surge of knowledge and experience inside my brain , I concluded that I could create only five shadow clones with my current chakra level even though my skill level was already max . I felt that it was a pity because I could negate the mental backlash of using this skill fully with my SERENE mind skill so I could use more and more shadow clones to quickly gain experience and level up my skills .

Anyway my bad mood immediately changed into a grin when I used only one hand seal to create five shadow clones at once which came behind me with clouds of smoke . I stared at the fully identical figures feeling great for a while before frowning because my already low chakra level was cleanly divided into five parts . I quickly dispelled the clones and my chakra was refilled back with only used up by less than two percent of the total amount . This was a great feature because I could store shadow clones somewhere and use them to refill my chakra instantly during battles. My skill was already at max level and I could ignore the mental backlashes completely too so this method was really not a bad idea at all .
