Arashi woke up early in the morning, feeling his body energised. The house was now empty, as Akira had taken on a 2 month mission, which would mean that she would be returning after he had already entered the academy.
After a nice shower and enjoying some hot ramen, Arashi sat down in a lotus meditative position, clearing his mind. He felt the abundant chakra in the air, and he slowly acclimated to the feeling of being around it. He would use his mind to direct the chakra within his body to certain parts of his body.
He finally exhaled, getting up and performing a series of flexibility exercises that he used to do in his past life. He then continued his routine, this time throwing a series of punches and kicks, similar to the katas in Karate.
'This body feels sluggish and the stamina is horrible, but it is to be expected. The muscles aren't as developed yet.' Arashi's chest heaved up and down, as he fell to his knees, sweat dripping down from his forehead onto the floor.
There was currently 7 years till the plot would start to kick off and naruto and sasuke would graduate the academy; Arashi would have to become a hidden powerhouse before then, he didn't know how the system would help him but he had a vague outline of his path to power.
As he was in the academy currently, he had to show fast but reasonable growth from now, so he could graduate slightly early and become a shinobi. His first goal was to become a Fuinjutsu Grandmaster and grow his repertoire with Hiruzen before he dies to Orochimaru. This would allow him to get access to the Flying Thunder God technique. With that technique he would practically become unkillable.
But for now, he would have to focus on mastering the 3 basic jutsus to graduate early and as many other jutsus as he could. With the rise of the akatsuki in the future, Arashi needed the strength to protect himself and his only family member.

'Just on time.' he smiled, feeling content after receiving his first quest. Although his body felt tired, he forced himself through the sets assigned. He experimented, channeling chakra through his body, which made the tasks easier. Working through the exercises, whilst constantly channeling his chakra throughout his body, was building his chakra control.
After a good 3 hours, Arashi laid on the floor, knackered, his body sore beyond belief, 'Thank god we're off on the weekends.'
[Congratulations! You have completed the 'Daily Quest'!]

[Your stats are rising! Keep it up!]
Arashi felt a cold chilly feeling wash through his body, his chakra reserve filling up to the brim and the soreness in his muscles disappearing.
He revelled at the sudden relieving feeling, not noticing the loud banging outside his house.
"Oi! Get out here now! Before we break this door."
Arashi turned his head to the door, feeling 4 distinct chakra signatures.
'Looks like we have some guests.' A heinous smile crept on his face, as he slowly walked to the door.
"You! How dare you make us wait? Looks like you haven't learned your lesson from the last time." A young boy with blue hair stood in front of the 3 other boys, he walked forward, glaring at Arashi.
'If the memories serve me right, these are the bullies that caused this body's owner constant suffering. I'm surprised the senseis haven't noticed this, or maybe they are just ignoring it. This guy must be Masaru, and his goons, I don't know their names. Well. My fists have been itching since coming here.'
"Why the hell are you smiling? Freak!" Masaru shouted, rushing forward with a clenched fist aiming for Arashi's jaw.
Arashi dodged the blow narrowly, weaving to the right, he countered by ducking down and throwing a powerful uppercut, blowing Masaru's head backwards.
'His punches and movement was extremely fast. If my instincts hadn't kicked in, I would have been in trouble. What terrifying kids. I need to take this seriously, my body is too weak to handle them all, luckily they seem to be inexperienced.' Arashi thought, getting more excited by the potential for a satisfying fight.

"Hahahahaha! Well I can't let you lot go now. Come here!" Arashi laughed boisterously, dashing forward. One of Masaru's goons had helped him up but the other two stood frozen, shocked by their prey's sudden change in character.
"Attack him! Why are you lot just staring?" Masaru shouted at his lackeys, causing them to finally act. He also jumped in, this time coating his fists with chakra.
Arashi's eyes darted left and right as he dodged a kick from his right and a punch from his other side; he rolled on the ground grappling one of the boys, shoulder throwing him down to the ground with immense force.
He didn't have time to react to a sudden blow that came from his side as a powerful kick smashed against the side of his ribs, making him tumble into a nearby tree.
'Crap. is this boy crazy? Using chakra in a fight within the village walls? My ribs are broken.'
[-30 HP]
Arashi grabbed the side of his body, where he felt several cracked ribs. Masaru charged in throwing a combination of kicks and punches, all supercharged with chakra.
Arashi deflected or parried most of the blows, countering with elbows and knees causing the remaining 3 boys to become battered. His body pranced and danced around, dodging their blows and countering. Even though he was outnumbered, due to his past life's ability to fight, his taijutsu was relatively strong and his sense of battle sharp.
'What the hell happened to him? We just messed him yesterday! Did that filthy sister of his train him? But that must mean he's just been pretending to be weak this whole time. Should we retreat?' Masaru thought, huffing and puffing. His body was battered and his ribs creaked from all the knees he had taken.
"Fall back. We'll be back, you wretched rat. This isn't over!" Masaru ordered, falling back himself.
"As if I'd let you scum leave!" A devilish smile was plastered on Arashi's face, as he moved in with intent.
With two successive roundhouse kicks, two heads were knocked backwards, their necks flung back from the force.
Masaru grit his teeth, unable to prepare himself, "You monster!"
Bang!
The young boy's vision turned dark, as his consciousness was severed.
'Phew. If my body hadn't recovered from my daily quest, I would have been in a pinch.'
[Congratulations! You have completed the Quest: 'Revenge against the bullies']
[You have received 200 Exp]
[You have leveled up!]
[You are now Level 3!]
[Your stats are rising! Keep it up!]
The same familiar feeling washed over his body, his muscles feeling like they were being tightened. His broken ribs and battered and bruised arms, from all the blocking, healed up fully.
'I should learn some jutsus. My taijutsu is good, but till my body grows stronger, I should focus on ninjutsu and master a weapon too.'
