Inside a small but warm apartment, Shinu sat down on his bed, as the moonlight shone through the window behind him, casting a long shadow on the floor.
Behind his back, lying on the bed is a sleeping Natsumi, who turned out to be his wife, she is 22 years old, and they have known each other since they were kids.
'The brackets of the skills must be the levels, but what do the levels mean?'
As Shinju thought about what the levels inside the brackets meant, a list of his skills suddenly popped up in front of him, with the description under it.
[Name: Shinju Ichida]
[Age: 23]
Skills-
[Chakra Control (Passive. Lv1) - Allows host to control 5% of his total chakra.]
[Running (Active. Lv10) Allows host to run 50% faster, have a faster reaction, and body movement.]
[Chakra Enhanced Jump (Active. Lv2) - Allows host to boost jump with chakra.]
The information on the skills was written down on the panel in front of him, along with the activation commands of the skills itself.
For some, he does not have to do anything to activate it, but for something like Running, he has to think, to activate it, which in the grand scheme of things is barely anything.
'How do I level them up?'
Shinju looked in front of him, seeing his shadow on the ground, before a shadow popped up behind him, resting her hand on his back as her nice and smooth voice reached him.
"Shinju, you should go to sleep now, you need rest, okay?"
Natsumi smiled in sadness, her hand going down Shinju's back before she wrapped her arms around his waist, her face burying in his back as she remembered their memories.
"Okay"
Shinju turned around and smiled as he lay down on the bed, Natsumi resting her face on his left chest with a sigh, Shinju closed his eyes, but not before a notification was heard in his ear.
[Ding! Improve your skill levels by using them over and over again, slowly gaining experience until it goes up in levels.]
Drifting off to sleep once he heard that, Shinju released a breath as he let the stress of what he had gone through from the day he was in this world take him.
Natsumi sensing that Shinju had gone to sleep, opens her eyes and tears well up in the corner of her eyes, But not wanting to wake him up, she goes back to sleep.
[ Next day.]
The Next Day, at 11 in the morning, Shinju opens his eyes, groaning as he sits up from the bed, looking next to him, Natsumi is still sleeping, not wanting to disturb her, Shinju quietly goes to the bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, he starts to fill up a bath with warm water, a few minutes later it was filled up, and he took his clothes off before getting inside it.
"Chakra control... I should be able to train water walking from the show since it did not say you have to start with your feet"
Everyone should be able to train water walking with any part of their body, like making it so that your hand won't go into the water, or just not sinking.
"Let's start"
Shinju slowly gathered his chakra on his palm, and then he put his palm into the water in the bath, but it only added a slight resistance before sinking down into the water.
"What is the difference between Water walking, and tree walking?"
Shinju thought out loud as he looked at his palm, and the first thing that came to mind was that one is solid the other is liquid.
His chakra can't stick to anything since water is not staying in one place, it shapes itself to whatever is stepping on it.
So...
"The priority should be moving the chakra in the way that the water is moving, become one with water"
Shinji gathered the chakra in his palm again, this time making it move back and forth, like a wave in the ocean, putting his palm on the water, he felt a slight resistance.
Before his chakra dispersed in his palm, he was getting there but his chakra control was so bad that he couldn't hold the chakra in a place for more than a few seconds.
Sighing, Shinbju did not feel like stopping, so for a whole hour, he stayed in the bath, his body getting colder as the water cooled down from its warm state.
Shinju was lost in his own world before he suddenly heard a notification from the system.
[Ding! Chakra Control gained a level.]
[Chakra Control (Active. Lv2) - Allows host to control 10% of his total chakra.]
"Wow!"
Shinju felt his chakra suddenly become more docile, and malleable as he gathered it on his palm once more, he made it go back in a wave motion, and this time it felt easy.
Almost like before it was trying to move plastic, now it feels like it is moving mud around, much easier than before.
"This time, I should get it right"
Putting his hand on the water, he felt the resistance suddenly increase from air resisting his hand, to almost like he was pushing a slightly resisting armband.
He could still sink into the water, but it now took much more effort, unlike before when he pushed and it went straight through the water.
"Shinju, are you inside the bathroom?"
Natsumi's voice suddenly woke Shinju up from his daze, and he quickly got out of the shower, before drying himself with the towel and putting on his clothes.
Which consisted of black ninja pants, toeless ninja shoes, black, and a simple muscle shirt, with a grey-coloured zip-up jacket over it.
"Coming!"
Shinju rubbed his hair with the towel before he let the water from the bath out, Opening the door, he was met with the sight of a worried Natsumi.
Her red hair and purple eyes shined as she looked at him with worry, guilt suddenly filled his heart before they were extinguished like they never existed.
"What took you so long? You have been inside it for an hour and a half"
Natsumi asked with worry as she put her palm on his chest, Shinju apologised before making up an excuse of trying not to wake her up with too much noise.
"Jeez, you dummy, don't worry about that"
Natsumi looked at Shinju, and she smiled as his worry about her calmed her down, he used to say the same thing from before.
"Sorry sorry~"
Shinju said with a shy look as he rubbed his head, he had never been with a woman before, so he was actually quite shy.
"Now, how about me and you go to the training ground and start relearning what you already know?"
Natsumi said, and Shinju felt like he could kiss her right there, just when he needed an excuse to have a way to start training.
"Sure!"
