Chapter 15

"Wow, this is easier than I thought!"

"I hate you, Naruto…" I grumbled to myself as I eyed the disaster that was my calligraphy attempts. Turns out that writing with a brush is difficult, who would have thought, right? I could barely tell what I had tried to do with half the kanji in the paper. My eyes moved towards the one in front of Naruto and suddenly I knew how the blonde must have felt when I used Running at the Academy. His writing was already pretty damn good and we had just started.

"It's just that I'm the best, believe it!" He gave me a grin and a peace sign and I returned him a weary smile. I was glad that he had something he was really good at though. Who knows? Maybe all those Seal Master Naruto were right after all.

"Still," I decided to burst his bubble quickly before it got too big. "it's not perfect. You'll have to continue practicing."

"Sure thing. I'll have this down in a minute, just you wait," He boasted before biting his tongue and frowning at the paper while wielding the brush. With a sigh, I followed his example for a minute before a screen finally appeared.

'Well, something to replace Cartography for when I don't feel like training physically, I guess,' I mused to myself before suppressing a groan as yet another unintelligible character appeared on the sheet.

My maps where already pretty good after all, even if the level of the skill wasn't that good. Which is more, I had started a project after charting most of the village. I freed a whole wall in my room and started making a mural-like drawing of the entire village on it, even if it wasn't as detailed as the maps I had already for separated parts.

Soon enough I would have to start making exceedingly elaborate maps or even start again to level the skill. I was leaning towards leaving the skill as it was. The drawings were good enough for me as they were and it would probably level better when working on new things once I started mapping the outside of the village. Entirely new maps would help level up the skill faster. That was my theory, at least. As it was, the skill wasn't bad at all, in my opinion.

[Cartography – Lvl 14

'Not bad at all,' I mused before focusing once more on the papers. Something in the back of my mind was telling me that studying Fuinjutsu would be a right headache for me. It wasn't for nothing that Seal Masters were rare, after all.

"You are progressing very well, Eiji," Iruka sensei said after what felt like hours of me sitting with a leaf on my face.

[Basic Chakra Control Exercises has gone up a level.]

[Chakra Control has gone up a level.]

'That's a long ass name,' I thought to myself after reading the skill name, not for the first time. I relaxed my control on the chakra and opened my eyes.

[Basic Chakra Control Exercises – Lvl 5

[Chakra Control: E+.]

'The Chakra Control level would be a lot cooler if I knew what it actually does…' I fought a grimace while looking at the new stat progress. Chakra Control as a stat was a complete mystery to me as of that moment. Regarding the System side of it, at the very least.

"Thanks, Iruka-sensei," I replied respectfully. I took a second to breath in deeply and relax my muscles.

"I think we can take the next step and have you start doing the exercise with your eyes open," The scarred teacher commented with a thoughtful frown. "Just don't focus too much in actually seeing at the start. We can work that up as you progress."

"Of course, Sensei," I nodded while picking up the leaf again.

[}-o-{]

"Aaargh, I hate you, Shika!" I all but whined as I leaned back on my hands and looked over my latest defeat.

"You are getting very good at this, Eiji," Chouza commented from where the adults sat watching us play and chatting between themselves.

"Thanks, Chouza. I try," I replied tiredly. Eventually, I had had to give up and started calling them by their first names, even if it still felt awkward to do so. It felt even more disrespectful to continue denying them their… rather adamant requests, after all.

"Maybe I should take Shikamaru's place?" Shikaku asked with a smirk making me groan. Everyone chuckled good naturedly. I shrugged resignedly.

"Eh, a loss is a loss, might as well add some new things to this," I commented and I swear the Nara Head's eyes shone. Suddenly, I remembered the few times I had played against him. No wonder I kept losing. I was an idiot.

"Remember that you brought this to yourself, Eiji," Shikamaru said from the side with much the same smirk that his father was wearing. I sighed and started playing.

"Naruto is rubbing off on me," I dutifully ignored the 'Oi!' in the background. Soon enough, I was reading a new screen before making it disappear with a thought.

[Shogi has gone up a level.]

'Someday, I'm going to win a match. Someday…' I told myself as I moved another piece. Then Shikaku made his own move and I grimaced as I saw my impending doom. 'Not soon though…'

"For Kami's sake, Ino!" I exclaimed exasperated. "Will you shut up for a second?"

"I mean, I was just wondering-"

"Fine!" I gave up throwing my arms up. "You can come with us tomorrow," I glared as the girl beamed at me, clearly pleased with herself. "But we train, and that's it. You'll only annoy Sasuke if you try to do anything else. He really doesn't like to do small talk."

"I can do that," She blinked as my face turned to disbelief. "I can!" She added with more heat and a frown. I just continued staring at her. I mean, she always complained or at least whined when we had to do the Academy training. Who would blame me for not believing her? "Why are you looking at me like that?" She hissed.

"Well," I started slowly. "besides you never wanting to train?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. Her frown intensified. "I mean, come on, Ino. You think we don't hear you during classes? The last thing you want to do is train," And at that, she pouted. "Fine, I'll shut up. But if you annoy Sasuke, I'm never inviting you again. He is a great Taijutsu partner. I like to have him around."

She simply hummed and walked happily back to the desk. I sighed. The girl really was stubborn. She had been annoying me nonstop ever since the Uchiha had started training with us. And considering that I couldn't avoid her since I worked at her family's shop, I had decided that it was a lost battle to continue denying her.

[}-o-{]

One Month Later

[Intermediate Taijutsu has gone up a level.]

'This was a good idea,' I mussed with a small grin as I avoided a rather powerful punch from Chouji with a sidestep. Instead of sending a punch of my own as a counter, I had to jump over a low kick from Shikamaru.

I had noticed that my Taijutsu progress had stalled after the Mid-Year Exams. That made a lot of sense considering that no one besides Sasuke was a proper challenge to me when it came down to only hand to hand combat. As such, I had decided to try and fight them two against one.

As I was seeing right then, it was working very well.

A punch of Chouji's eventually found its way to my gut and knocked the wind out of me before Shikamaru's fist connected with the side of my face. A kick, which I didn't know who sent, hit my side and I ended up on the floor. I groaned as I tapped the floor to sign that I gave up. It was great training, but it really upped the difficulty.

"Regretting the decision?" Shika asked with a bored tone and I turned to see him crouching down next to me and resting his cheek on his hand lazily.

"No, but I can't deny that it hurts," He rolled his eyes at me and muttered something that was probably a grumble about my training habits. I ignored him and slowly pushed myself up before taking Chouji's hand and thanking him.

"Well, if you are happy then we'll continue kicking your ass," The Akimichi chuckled and I smiled, taking it as a victory that he didn't apologize or look guilty for the violence involved. He had come a long way from the soft guy he was when we first met.

"I feel the love, gu-"

"We can totally improve your look, Hinata," I turned to see Ino eyeing Hinata up and down, probably going over outfit options on her head. Meanwhile, the shy girl was poking her fingers together and looking everywhere but the Yamanaka. "The boys would fall over themselves once I'm done with you, I promise."

"Y-You think so?" Nobody missed the way her eyes moved towards a certain blond boy that was in a Shurikenjutsu competition with Sasuke. Ino smirked.

"Quite. I'm sure Nar-" That was as far as she got before the Hyuuga girl put a hand over her mouth.

"I-I'm sure we can g-go shopping together sometime, Ino-san."

"Great," The blond girl beamed at her and I smiled at the scene. I was glad that we had another girl for Hinata to interact with. "Naruto! Would you mind coming with us? We might need a boy's opinion!" I suppressed a laugh as I saw Hinata's face go as red as it possible could. I failed to do so though, when I saw Naruto turn with a baffled expression and a 'Huh?'.

"I don't know if she'll be good for Hinata or not," Shikamaru commented with a smirk while standing next to me.

"We'll just have to see," I replied mimicking his expression as we looked at the two blonds talking. Ino seemed to be doing a pretty good job at convincing the confused boy. I was just glad that the girl was acting friendly with Naruto. Maybe the wardrobe change had helped with that.

"So," I turned to look at Shino on my other side. "Is it my turn to spar?"

"Sure thing," I nodded. "Shika, Chouji, have a go at Shino, will you? I'll go look for some drinks."

"I meant-"

"Come on, Shino!" A cheerful Chouji interrupted the Aburame before could finish his sentence and pulled him into the sparing circle. I simply hummed innocently to myself, carefully keeping my eyes away from the totally not panicking Shino.

[}-o-{]

"I swear to Kami, guys," I grumbled while sitting on the floor and trying to keep a stern expression. Emphasis on trying. "I come here at least once a week, the least you could do is stop tackling me." My only response was a tongue to the face and I sighed as my expression turned to a fond one and I started petting the dogs around me.

"Just give up," Hana said from the side where she sat behind a counter and leaned on a hand. "they love you, and that's it."

"More like they love the food," I countered with a grin, making her shake her head. A bark made me turn to Yuki who was looking at me with a scolding expression. Strange thing considering that she was a dog. "Aw, I love you too, Yuki." She barked again, this time happily. The other dogs, apparently, weren't ones to be shown up.

I had to spend several hours playing, petting and booping dogs and puppies.

I wasn't complaining.

[}-o-{]

"I wasn't that bad, was I?" I turned my head and stared intently towards the classroom board. I felt cold sweat run down my neck and saw everyone else in our group pointedly avoiding Ino's eyes. "Oh Kami, I was…" She realized with horror.

There were a few silent snickers (and not so silent ones in Naruto's case). What was the subject of the conversation? The pink-haired banshee that was currently all over our resident edgy Uchiha. It seemed that the Yamanaka heiress had finally realized just how annoying her previous attitude had been.

"You don't have any ground to stand on, Naruto," She countered, probably trying to save some face. "You were worse than Kiba."

"Hey!" The jinchuuriki protested immediately. "Take that back. That's not true! Right, guys?" This time I looked to the side since the blond boy was sitting right in front of me. "Right… Brother?" He asked (pleaded, more like) me. "Oh Kami, I was…" My whiskered friend slumped in his seat, the same defeated tone coloring his voice.

"Look at the bright side, guys," I said, mustering the will to face both blondes. "you got better," I tried, forcing a smile on my face. I wasn't very successful, apparently, since both smacked their foreheads against their desks.

"A valiant attempt," Shino offered me. "even if it was useless."

"At least I tried," I shot at the bug lover who turned his face away from me.

"Finally," Sasuke said looking at the ceiling when Iruka-sensei walked inside the classroom and forced Sakura to take a seat away from us since the close ones were already occupied. "Thank Kami," The Uchiha heir muttered low enough that only our group heard.

[}-o-{]

One Month Later

[Basic Chakra Control Exercises has gone up a level.]

[Chakra Control has gone up a level.]

I almost cheered out loud at that and a proud tear almost escaped the corner of my eye.

"You've been doing remarkable progress, Eiji," Iruka-sensei complemented.

'You don't say,' I almost said. And, being completely honest, I thought that was justified. I had never been able to maintain the speed of skill leveling before. But I had this time. It had taken one month to level Basic Chakra Control Exercices (still thought it was a stupidly long name, by the way) five times and it had taken another month to get another five levels. Granted, the last month I had been training on my own too while the first I had been only doing so under supervision, but still.

[Chakra Control: D-.]

"I think I can safely say that you can train this on your own during the holidays," I almost felt bad as our teacher said that, since I had already been doing exactly that. "So, with that out of the way," He continued. "this concludes our last Chakra Control class for the year. Good luck on the End of the Year exams next week, Eiji. I expect good results from you."

"I'll have the best results, again. Just you wait," I replied confidently. "Thanks for taking the time to teach me this, Iruka-sensei," I added with a bow. "I won't disappoint you."

"See that you don't," He replied, a fond smile on his scarred face.

"See you tomorrow, sensei," I said, returning the grin as I walked out the classroom.

[}-o-{]

"Ugh," Naruto groaned as he rested his head on his desk. "My head still hurts. I thought it would get better the second time, y'know," I simply shook my head at him like some of the others, Ino rolled her eyes at her fellow blond.

We had just finished the last part of the End of the Year exams. It had gone surprisingly similar to the Mid-Year ones, actually. Granted, there was more theory to study, but everything else remained the same except that Iruka expected us to do much better. The only change was how good we were at it and me getting better results in the theory test than Sakura. Aside from that, everything else stayed the same.

"Well, we can forget about ever getting first place," Naruto grumbled good-naturedly.

"Not like I cared anyway," Shikamaru replied with a lazy wave of his hand.

"Come on, guys, he can't take first place forever. We'll do better next year!" Ino tried, she truly did. Her only response were incredulous stares, even from Sasuke. I was kinda embarrassed by the unanimous support. It was true that I was very ahead of the rest of them, but still.

"Ino is right," Now everyone turned to Naruto. "Sasuke can't take first place forever, guys. We'll take it from him next year."

Everyone blinked in confusion.

"Hm… Naruto-kun?" Hinata started shyly, which honestly surprised me since she didn't stutter with his name. "Eiji was the one to take first place…"

"Nuh, he doesn't count," The blond boy countered and everyone blinked again.

"True," Shikamaru nodded and I turned to him wide-eyed.

"Makes sense," Shino pushed his shades up.

"Hm, guys?" I started before Sasuke nodded too with a grunt and my jaw fell. "What the hell?!"

"Not what I meant," Ino said weakly. "But good enough," She shrugged. "Now let's go, I can't wait to eat Eiji's celebratory dinner," She continued and the not-so-stoic ones in the group cheered.

"What?" I blinked before growing concerned. "Weren't we going to a restaurant?" I asked as cold sweat that had nothing to do with the tests we had gone through run down my back. "Guys, I really don't want to cook right now-"

I choked when Naruto and Ino turned the puppy dog eyes full power against me. When I looked around for support, the only thing I saw was a sad Hinata, which made me feel even worse.

I sighed.

"Fine."

"Yatta!" Naruto jumped as Ino pumped a fist in victory.

"I just want you to know that I hate you, guys."

"I love you too, brother. Now, let's go!" And with that, both blonds started dragging me towards our house.

[Quest Complete: Finish the End of the Year Exams in First Place

'At least I have this,' I grinned to myself, it was especially nice since there were several skills that had become a pain to level or I hadn't been able to level at all, like the Shurikenjutsu skills that now needed moving targets.

"And the best part is that we have two months without classes!" I chuckled at Naruto's exclamation. It seemed that it hadn't fully registered until now.

It would be nice to be able to have some more free time. Having a job and training so much required a lot of time, and that wasn't even including school in. Now I would have more time to visit the dogs- I mean, to train… yeah, that.

[}-o-{]

"I can't believe it," Chouza breathed out.

"Is this real?" Ino asked her parents, who stared silently at the impossibility.

"Would you look at that, dear?" Yoshino pointed out with an amused expression.

"Eiji, you have my eternal respect," Shino said, completely serious.

Me, for my part, could only look at the Shogi board in disbelief.

"It's a draw," Shikamaru said, looking at the pieces with the widest smirk I had ever seen on his face. "Good game," He extended a hand for me to shake, which I did, although my eyes never left the board.

"A draw," I muttered, voice and expression completely neutral. "I… I didn't lose," A grin started to spread on my features before I snorted. "I didn't lose!" My words came out louder this time and I started chuckling. It soon developed into uncontrolled laughter.

"I can't believe it," Ino started shaking her head, completely in shock.

"Eiji is the best!" Naruto easily joined my celebration even if he hadn't gotten what happened until Shika had said it.

"Well, I'll be," Chouji chuckled before elbowing his Nara friend. "It finally happened, huh?"

"Indeed," The lazy bastard agreed easily, still smirking.

"Let's go again," I all but demanded. Even if I started another almost infinite losing streak, this one draw meant everything. There was a chance for me, and that's what I had wanted confirmation for all that time. 'Shogi's level will reach high enough eventually, just you wait, Shikamaru,' I thought to myself dramatically.

[Shogi has gone up a level.]

[Shogi – Lvl 30

'Eventually.'

[}-o-{]

"Did you have fun?" Hana asked as I walked into her place. A second later, a bunch of dogs walked after me while I held the door open.

"Yeah, it was nice," I replied as the dogs gave their own enthusiastic responses.

"You took longer than I thought," The Inuzuka pointed out with a smirk that told me she knew exactly why. I returned her a sad smile.

Truth was, I had felt bad for them. They didn't get out nearly enough, which was the whole reason why I offered to take them for a walk. Hana needed to stay to take care of those that needed her presence almost constantly. There were also D rank missions to take them for a walk but, apparently, genin preferred to take other tasks. It was easier to do some chore at someone's house than have to put up with an 'annoying mutt'.

I almost growled as I recalled that. 'Once I make genin, half my missions will be to do this,' I swore to myself.

"I just hope they won't be too heartbroken when classes start again,"I told the girl behind the counter as we both watched the dogs I had taken out talk/bark to the ones that had had to stay.

"It's better than nothing," She replied, not reassuring me at all, although that was probably not her intention anyway. "I have a feeling you'll start again after you graduate anyway," She smiled my way, gesture that I easily returned.

"Yeah, they are awesome," I shrugged. "And I'll be getting paid for doing what I want. Just hope I'll be able to convince my team of these guys' adorableness."

"I'm sure you'll manage."

"And if I don't, then I'll just have to threaten them," I said and she giggled. Little did she know that I was serious.

"Sometimes I wonder if you are an Inuzuka and you've been hiding that from us," She shook her head still giggling.

"I wish."

[Skill Maxed: Basic Chakra Control Exercises.]

[Chakra Control has gone up a level.]

[Chakra Control: D.]

'Cool,' I thought with a wide grin. 'Can't say I saw the skill maxing at level 15, but cool nonetheless. Didn't unlock the Intermediate though, sadly.'

Still, I was quite happy with that as it was. In a week it would be a year since I arrived to this world and I was very satisfied with my progress so far. It was slower than I would have thought considering that I had a Gamer System, but it was still good.

I closed my eyes and stretched my arms over my head letting out a content sigh.

As I opened my eyes, I sighed again for a completely different reason. In front of me, on the table sat a light brown folder.

"What've you got for me this time?" I wondered as I opened it and started to read.

My 'assignments' had started to arrive once a month, although exactly when was never predictable. I had taken to them easily though and they had rapidly become part of my routine. They never had anything too concerning, or at all, and I always got a discount or coupon of some kind for a shop that was always nice to have. I was already stacking on supplies for when Naruto and I started actually practicing Fuinjutsu.

We had had to promise the Hokage not to start until he gave the okay, but apparently he trusted me enough to let me buy what we would need in advance. I wasn't about to go behind his back with that. Practicing chakra control was one thing, practicing something as serious and obscure as the art of seals was entirely different, after all.

"Huh?" I finished a second reading of the papers with an amused expression. "A good proposition made by the Civilian Side? Had to happen eventually, I guess."

Soon enough, I found myself setting the folder down after adding a paper giving my opinion about it with a surprisingly low amount of changes. Running a hand through my dark hair tiredly, I decided that it was late enough and I had to go to bed.

Good job, said a now familiar note on the table after a second. I let out a wan smile as I picked it up, ripped it to pieces and threw it on the trash bin. No need to keep any proof of whoever it was that was giving me extra 'homework'.

I had yet another surprise waiting for me though. Where there would usually be a simple coupon or something for a ninja shop now sat a group of scrolls. Suddenly fully awake once more, I read through the titles and realized that they were introductory texts to a bunch of things. Most of them covered in detail on the electives we would take once classes started once more.

'Well, thank you for the extra study material, I guess,' I thought to myself as I carried everything to my room. They could be easily explained as me having bought them since they weren't something out of reach for an academy student. They were simply too expensive if one wasn't going to take the electives, not even mentioning that no one bought books or scrolls since the school provided all the necessary materials.

'Niiiice,' I whistled as I read the screens at the end of my work out. 'Now, if only I could get this but with Meditation,' I grumbled internally.

Why was I complaining? Well, said skill had been sitting at level 19 for much longer than Physical Conditioning. I had come up with the theory that I needed to fulfill some kind of requirement for the last level. Either that or it was stupidly difficult to max for some reason. I was inclined towards the first option though.

'It'll happen when it happens,' I shrugged tiredly as I made my way inside.

I stopped and raised an annoyed eyebrow as I walked inside and saw that table covered in my brother's calligraphy practice.

"Naruto!" I started shouting before my voice lost all the strength in it. I knew the blonde was asleep already, and waking him up would be more troublesome than anything else. With a sigh, I gathered all the papers, ink and brushes and started putting it away. 'The guy is scarily good. His fuinjutsu teacher will be shocked,' I thought with no small amount of pride.

'I, for my part…'

[Calligraphy – Lvl 15

Improves the user's writing by 75%.]

It was good progress, considering how hard it was for me to get the kanjis right. However, I would need it at 100% if I wanted to start with actual fuinjutsu. That meant at least a few more months of practice. That alone had discouraged me from picking the seal art as one of my Electives. If I had to waste a few months just to start with it, it would be a waste.

I could pick that one up at a later date and self-study it. Probably after graduating. It had a lot of potential, but required a lot of time. Time that I didn't have, even if it looked like I did. One year was a lot less than it seemed.

Hence why I had decided for Medical Training and Ninjutsu. The latter was an obvious one, since battle prowess was the most important thing in this world. Without any of the major villains' existences hanging over my head, I may have chosen something less fight oriented. Hell, I might not even have bothered with being a ninja at all. But I needed the power, to protect my life and the lives of everyone I cared about.

Medical Training was added for that last reason too. Tsunade was a scary character, even if she didn't do that much in the end. If I could develop or learn a regenerative jutsu for myself, I could take for myself one of the reasons why Jinchuuriki were so dangerous, their inability to stay down. And that wasn't even mentioning creating my own strength, or dexterity, or constitution enhancement jutsu just like Tsunade's.

And thus, Medical Training triumphed over Bukijutsu and Genjutsu, the other two offensive classes. If there had been a Taijutsu class, it may have contended too, but since it was included in the regular curriculum, I didn't have to choose.

'Talking about that…'

'What a beauty,' I thought to myself with a smirk as I made my way to my room after a shower. That skill alone had guaranteed that I would never lose a Taijutsu spar in class, not that I needed to use it often. I would usually just use it for a second at a time in particularly hard match ups like Sasuke (or Kiba since it appeared that the Inuzuka had started training with his family at last).

That wasn't even mentioning when I coupled it with Running and Free Running for extra speed.

Which took me to one of my favorites hobbies/training exercises. Traveling through the village at full speed without ever touching the ground was one of the best activities I had ever taken part in, right next to spending time with the dogs, believe it or not. It was especially funny when I tried to do so while using Stealth be it through the active skill or not and scared the shit out of a civilian or two. Granted, it may not have helped with my already dropping reputation but…

It was still fun.

Maybe I had been spending too much time with Naruto.

[Stealth (Active) – Lvl 23

Yeah, I had gotten entirely too much practice with the skill. To the point that some Chuunin now had trouble keeping track of me. I had finally reached Shino levels of stealth, apparently.

As I entered my room, I looked at the wall opposite to my bed. Covering the entire wall was a beautiful drawing/map of Konoha. It had taken some time, but I had finally finished. It was more art than map, but I still loved that shit. It was the culmination of something that had started as a useless skill that I got when I drew the location of a few shops.

It could be useful for some recon missions and what not but, honestly, that had nothing to do with why I had continued with that. It was a nice hobby to have, really.

It had been a surprise though, when the skill changed from Cartography to Drawing.

[Drawing – Lvl 15

However, I preferred it like that since that meant that I could use the skill for much more than just maps. I could now draw landscapes, people or anything else that stroke my fancy.
