"Are you really going to the library this late?" Ino grumbled as she stared at Ren as they walked back towards Konoha from the academy training grounds.
"Yeah, you do have to go to clan training, don't you?" Ren inquired, and Ino tiredly nodded.
"Stop being an idiot and go, I'll meet you tomorrow..." Ren muttered, nodded to Ino, and jumped on top of a neighboring roof, he maintained a steady stream of chakra coming out from the soles of his feet as he began hopping from one roof to the next.

[Through repeated action Skill created {Chakra Muscle Augmentation}]
[Chakra Muscle Augmentation: Lvl 1 (6.16% to Next Lvl)]
[Chakra Muscle Augmentation is a technique utilized by shinobi to enhance their physical strength and capabilities. By infusing their muscles with chakra, shinobi can temporarily amplify their physical attributes, surpassing their natural limitations.
This technique involves channeling chakra directly into the muscles, increasing their density and power. The chakra serves as a catalyst, stimulating the muscles and allowing them to exert greater force, speed, and endurance. With Muscle Augmentation, a shinobi can deliver stronger blows, move swiftly, and withstand more intense physical exertion.
Though Continuous use of Chakra Muscle Augmentation could harm the muscle group and have adverse effects.]
[Uses 10 CP/s for every target group.]
[Usage Limit: 10s]
[+? increase in Physical attributes equal to the Control stat.]
...
There are some skills that he discovered after experimenting with chakra, the Chakra Muscle Augmentation skill was created when he started manipulating his chakra to increase his speed as taught in the academy. He knew the skill but didn't use chakra augmentation because it is advised by the academy to only use this skill under supervision.
The {Tree Walking Exercise} on the other hand was a product of pure boredom. He was in the class listening to Iruka drone about the Fourth Hokage again, he had finished mastering the Leaf concentration exercise, and he was manipulating chakra from his fingertips and sticking to the underside of his desk. It was a fun game to pass the time, he had to carefully manipulate his chakra as too much chakra would blow his finger away.
Creating a new skill was not in his plans, especially one whose name differed entirely from what he was doing. Still, it was one of the skills that he quite liked having, although he hasn't entirely mastered this new skill and there were times when his concentration would slip and so would he, but still in the end it was a solid skill to have.

[Through repeated action Skill created {Tree Walking Exercise}]
[Tree Walking Exercise: Lvl 2 (43.76% to Next Lvl)]
[The Tree Walking Exercise, also known as "Shinobi Tree Walking," is a fundamental training method employed by shinobi to enhance their chakra control and physical abilities. This exercise focuses on refining a shinobi's ability to cling to and traverse vertical surfaces, such as trees, with the aid of chakra.
In this training, the ninja must channel and manipulate their chakra in a precise manner, allowing them to stick to surfaces and move with agility and grace. By developing the ability to walk on trees, a shinobi gains a significant advantage in stealth, evasion, and combat, as it allows them to navigate through dense forests and ambush enemies from unexpected angles.]
[Uses 1 CP/s]
[+2% to chakra control per level.]

'At least it took away my worries regarding my abysmal chakra control...'
There were several things that Ren was worried about right now, the Mystical Palm Jutsu that he got as a reward had a strict requirement of 50% chakra control to both learn and use, and his chakra increased every month little bit which was constantly widening the gap between his CHA and INT stat.
Ren had been scouring the library trying to find ways to increase his INT but the problem was that he had already read through most of the books in the library, and although his guess was right, that he could gain stats if he acquired new knowledge, there was not much knowledge available to Academy students.
'I could try to sneak into the genin section, but that had its own risks...'
After a full month of learning Ren had only managed to gain two stats in INT, that too came from learning the two seals he got from the Basic Fuinjutsu skill scroll, the storage seal and the exploding seal.
'I should focus on leveling up my Fuinjutsu, that seems like the only way that seems feasible at the moment to increase my INT at the moment...'
In the library, there was a room where shinobi who wanted to focus on support arts, like Fuinjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu could practice, though the Medic-nin class was a little more exclusive, the Fuinjutsu class was mostly deserted, Ren had been going to the class every day for the past week focusing on leveling up the two seals he knew.
'I should be able to level up both the storage seal and exploding seal today, maybe leveling up both the seals would increase my INT stat once again. At least I hope so...'
...
Ren landed in front of the Library after a few minutes, the building was situated right beside the Hokage tower, according to the rumors that Ren had heard, the Library had Konoha's Genin and Chunin Jutsu Archive.
He walked through the front doors and flashed his academy id at the receptionist. After signing himself in he walked to the Fuinjutsu training center, he looked around at the desolate state of the room, the only other person in the room was Rinko-san who was in charge of the supplies.
"Ren-kun you're back," She waved her hands toward the stack of scrolls lying on her counter.
"Thank you, Rinko-san," Ren bowed lightly before he collected the scrolls, he put the materials on the leftmost table and pulled out a pot of ink and a couple of brushes from the drawers.
'Alright, first let's start with the Trigger seal, if the trigger seal is good enough then the seal will not blow up in my face...'

------------------------
AN - A new week starts today, for the next two weeks, I'll set up a simple goal, for every 200 Power stones I'll write one more chapter! So gimme those stones!!!
P.S.- The academy phase should last another 5-6 chapters, there isn't actually much to do but describe Ren's progress and I'll explore the basics of Fuinjutsu a little bit in these chapters!!
Also, the chapter length is being adjusted from 1k words to 1.2k words, that's the max I'll go!
