Since I didn't want to leave something random written, even if it's just a filler chapter, I added the first chapters of my other fanfic: NARUTO: THE STRONGEST UZUMAKI.
------
It's been a week since 'Marcel,' now Tanaka, recalled his past life. The memories came right after he got hurt while on a mission to deliver supplies to the Leaf Village, which had entered a war.
When he woke up, everything had changed for him, whether it was the way he saw this world where he had lived for 15 years or the fact that he was seeing letters above people's heads like in the games he used to play in his previous life.
Things couldn't get even more complicated when he discovered that, in reality, the world he reincarnated into was none other than the world of Naruto.
As a fan of anime, manga, and novels, he couldn't not know this world and the danger he was in, especially being an Uzumaki and knowing what would happen in the near future.
He didn't know exactly when the extermination of the Uzumaki clan, along with the Hidden Whirlpool Village, would happen. But, for now, he should be safe?
What made him feel 'safe' was that his little cousin, 4-year-old Kushina Uzumaki, still lived here. As long as Mito Uzumaki didn't appear wanting to take her away - he should be partially safe?
Well, it was a dangerous world in a period of the Second World War, so it wasn't correct to think he was completely safe.
"Tanaka-san, we are coming in~"
A sweet, childish voice echoed.
"Come in," Tanaka responded.
Soon, a cute little girl with light eyes and long straight red hair entered, followed by a woman with long wavy red hair and red eyes.
Tanaka's eyes blinked a few times as he looked towards his aunt and little cousin.
══════
LV15 Kushina Uzumaki
══════
LV?? Akane Uzumaki
══════
Although he had many questions about his ability to see this information and the reason behind it, Tanaka's biggest doubt was: 'Why can't I see anything beyond Akane-san's name?'
"Tanaka-kun, are you feeling better?" Akane approached the bed, placing her hand on his forehead. She smiled gently, "Your fever has gone down."
"Yes, I'm feeling better." Tanaka smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Akane-san."
Setting aside the confusing things like the letters he saw above their heads, Tanaka sat up and saw little Kushina carrying a tray and said with a smile, "Is this for me?"
"Yes," Kushina nodded shyly.
"Thank you." Tanaka thanked as he accepted the wooden tray and placed it on his lap.
It was a standard clay pot with a wooden spoon beside it and a glass of water.
Picking up the spoon, he opened the lid.
Before he started eating, something appeared as he looked at the soup.
══════
[Rice and vegetable soup made by Akane Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki. With the sincere wish of the two, your HP will be restored. Akane Uzumaki's cooking skills provide additional benefits: +20% EXP for a week and +10% to all skills for a week.]
══════
'There's even something like this?'
Tanaka couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
No matter what or how; since he obtained something like this, he wished to learn more about it.
"Thank you for the food." He said, putting his hands together.
Kushina leaned on the bed with her arms, while Akane stood beside it, watching him start to eat with a gentle smile.
As he ate, he indeed felt increasingly better.
'Is there something like a status?' He thought while eating.

══════
'...' He thought: 'So there really is such a thing and...'
As he ate, his HP was restored until, when he had finished everything, he was now completely recovered.
"Thank you for the food." Putting his hands together, he thanked, "It was delicious."
"Hehe~" Kushina laughed while resting her arms on the bed, her feet going up in the air each time she swung them. She said decently with her childish voice: "I'm glad you liked it~"
"You're welcome." Akane said with the same gentle smile.
When Tanaka finished drinking the glass of water, Akane took the tray and started to carry it out of the room.
Before leaving, she said: "Kushina-chan, come with me, let your cousin rest."
══════
It must be said that having considerably high stats while still being level 1 was hard to understand.
After all, even Kushina was at level 15 and at the current moment, he was stronger than her, so for him to be just at level 1...
'Is it because I am the host of the system?' He thought.
Moreover, just a few minutes ago, after Kushina and Akane left the room, he tried to talk to some system entity. But it yielded no results.
Although having an entity might make it easier for him to understand various things related to the system... Honestly, he felt more comfortable with the fact that such a thing didn't exist.
While Tanaka tried to communicate with some entity, he managed to open the skill list for the first time and there were only two skills listed.
══════
[Gamer's Mind (Passive) Max Level]
[Allows the user to think logically and calmly about situations. Grants a state of mental peace. Immunity to psychological effects.]
══════
[Gamer's Body (Passive) Max Level]
[Grants a body that allows living in the real world as if it were a game.]
══════
The descriptions of each skill were more ridiculous than the other. Whether it was the Gamer's Mind or the Gamer's Body. The mind, if it's as he imagines, perhaps not even someone with a Sharingan would be able to affect him with genjutsu. As for the Gamer's Body, there's a high chance that, even if he had only 1 HP, he would still be able to move normally.
Though not immune to pain. Believe him, he tested it...
In any case, they were two very good and overpowered skills. Just with these two skills alone, he already felt safer.
Of course, the destruction of the Hidden Whirlpool Village was still concerning.
January 2nd, Tuesday. Cold wind.
Tanaka could no longer feel his chakra. This was not a big surprise when he realized that instead of chakra, he began to use MP when performing a jutsu.
And that's not all, using MP instead of chakra was much more fluid and powerful.
'Is this a similar version to natural energy?' He thought.
In this sense, it was as if he was always in Sage Mode.
His thoughts were interrupted when he made a new shuriken throw, and holographic pages appeared before him.
══════
[A skill has been created by continuously performing an action!]
[[Precise Throw] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 2MP]
[Increases speed by 25%.]
[Increases critical chance by 25%.]
[Increases accuracy by 40%.]
[Increases damage by 60%.]
Range: Up to 20 meters
══════
[A skill has been created by continuously performing an action!]
[The skill: [Throwing Mastery] has been created.]
[[Throwing Mastery] (Passive) Lv1 EXP: 0.0%]
[Increases throwing damage by 15%]
[Increases throwing speed by 10%]
══════
'Is something like this possible?'
However, his mind cleared as he took a deep breath.
'So... Continuous actions can trigger a skill?'
It was an obvious question after seeing the descriptions of the created skills.
'And, if I use the created skill continuously, even without a living target, will it increase the skill level?'
A valid question. To test if he was right or not, he continued throwing shurikens while murmuring in his mind: 'Precise Throw.'
Only when he murmured out loud or in his mind was the skill activated. If he simply threw it, it would just be a normal shuriken throw.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of Tanaka's throws echoed as he had already made 50 throws.
On the 51st throw, a blue line appeared before him saying: [Throwing Mastery] level increased.
'Fascinating!' He murmured in his mind: 'Just as I thought, it is possible to level up the skill this way.'
Having discovered this, he did not stop his actions and continued throwing the shuriken.
On the 56th throw, another blue holographic line appeared: [Precise Throw] level increased.
Stopping his actions, Tanaka thought joyfully as he looked at the shuriken lodged in the targets.
If before he was at an acceptable level in shuriken use like any other Chunin ninja, now he felt he had become even more talented in shuriken use.
After a few hours of training with shuriken and kunai throws, Tanaka ran out of MP due to the constant use of 'Precise Throw.'
Opening the skill page, he clicked on the skill icon.
(A/N: I will only show what changed.)
══════
[[Precise Throw] (Active) Lv4 EXP: 11.6% / 2MP]
[Increases speed by 28%.]
[Increases critical chance by 28%.]
[Increases accuracy by 43%.]
[Increases damage by 75%.]
Range: Up to 23 meters
══════
[[Throwing Mastery] (Passive) Lv5 EXP: 18.12%]
[Increases throwing damage by 35%]
[Increases throwing speed by 30%]
══════
'It increased a lot in just a few hours of throwing training...' he smiled while picking up the ninja tools he had used.
After doing that, he sat on the ground to meditate, to see if, like chakra, meditation would accelerate the speed of MP recovery.
Before, he had some difficulty focusing; however, now when he began to meditate, he felt more focused than ever.
Ten minutes later, he opened his eyes and murmured: 'Status'. Seeing that the MP bar was rising faster, unlike before when it only increased by 1 MP per minute, it now increased by 10 per minute.
40 minutes later...
══════
[A skill has been created by continuously performing an action!]
[The skill: [Meditation] has been created.]
[[Meditation] (Passive/Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0%]
[A basic technique for chakra recovery and permanent chakra expansion.]
[The permanent chakra (MP) size depends on the amount of chakra (MP) when meditating.]
[The current chakra (MP) meditation yields 0 permanent MP.]
[Passively increases INT by 5%.]
[Passively increases WIS by 5%.]
[Passively increases VIT by 5%.]
[Passively recovers an additional 2MP per minute.]
[Actively recovers an additional 10MP per minute.]
══════
"Mm?" Tanaka opened his eyes upon hearing a bell sound in his mind.
Tanaka remained silent for a few seconds. He was in a state of great surprise.
Tanaka smiled shortly after thinking: 'Even while meditating, a skill was created and... This is a very good skill!'
No matter how much he looked, such a skill was far beyond an ordinary skill. Even if the emphasis was correct to say that it could do everything it described, like a permanent increase in chakra... Still, it didn't have such a significant number, and still being level 1.
It might seem that the MP recovery continues at the same amount, but the reality is that passively, he already recovers 2 MP, along with the 10 while meditating, making it 13 if you count the 1 per minute passively from his own MP.
34 minutes later...
Tanaka opened his eyes upon hearing a bell sound in his mind, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the skill: [Meditation] leveled up.
══════
[[Meditation] (Passive/Active) Lv2 EXP: 0.1%]
[The current chakra (MP) training yields 11 permanent MP.]
[Passively recovers an additional 3MP per minute.]
[Actively recovers an additional 12MP per minute.]
══════
MP: [949/1,197]
Closing his eyes once again upon realizing that he still needed to restore 248 MP, he resumed meditating.
16 minutes later...
Opening his eyes, Tanaka stood up. His MP was fully restored.
As he looked at the sky, although he didn't have a watch, he judged it to be around noon.
'I'm starting to feel hungry.' He thought.
══════
In his room, after lunch, his continuous training resulted in two other skills.
══════
[[Transformation] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 20MP]
[A basic transformation technique that allows the user to alter their appearance to look like another person, object, or animal.]
[The duration and accuracy of the transformation depend on the skill level and chakra (MP) used.]
[Additional cost: 10MP per minute while the skill is active.]
[Reduces execution time by 15%.]
[Increases seal accuracy by 30%.]
══════
[[Clone] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 10MP per clone]
[A basic cloning technique that creates an illusory copy of the user.]
[The clones have no substance and disappear when hit.]
[The number of clones and their durability depend on the skill level and chakra (MP) used.]
[Maximum number of clones you can create at the same time: 5.]
[Additional cost per clone: 5MP per minute while the skill is active.]
[Reduces execution time by 15%.]
[Increases seal accuracy by 30%.]
══════
He felt disappointed to see these abilities. Perhaps they seemed too simple? Especially compared to [Meditation].
'No, I shouldn't lament,' he thought. 'If the properties of these skills increase, they will also become a triumph for me!'
Putting this aside for now, he went to the corner of the room, and when he picked up a scroll to store, something happened.
══════
[You have obtained the skill scroll: [Sealing Technique]]
[Would you like to learn the skill?]
[Confirm]-[Deny]
══════
Without thinking twice, mainly because this scroll belonged to him, he clicked on [Confirm].
══════
[You have obtained the skill: [Sealing]]
The Sealing Technique is a standard ninja skill that allows you to seal a variety of items using space-time ninjutsu.
[[Sealing] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 5MP]
[Increases sealing capacity by 10%.]
[Reduces execution time by 5%.]
[Increases seal accuracy by 15%.]
Range: Up to 5 meters
══════
'I still need to make the seals, but I feel I can execute with more speed and precision, which is a good thing.' He thought.
There were other scrolls in his room. For him who belonged to the Uzumaki Clan and, although orphaned, his aunt Akane was Ashina's granddaughter, and as a distant cousin living under her care, such scrolls were accessible to him.
When he picked up the next one, a new page appeared.
══════
[You have obtained the skill scroll: [Unsealing Technique]]
[Would you like to learn the skill?]
[Confirm] – [Deny]
══════
He confirmed.
══════
[You have obtained the skill: [Unsealing]]
The Unsealing Technique is a standard ninja skill that allows a ninja to summon a variety of items that have been stored using space-time ninjutsu.
[[Unsealing] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 3MP]
[Increases unsealing efficiency by 20%.]
[Reduces execution time by 15%.]
[Increases unsealing accuracy by 25%.]
[Allows undoing basic and intermediate sealings.]
[Range: Direct contact.]
══════
He had many doubts and questions, but for now, he set everything aside as he went to his secret safe, opening it and taking out a scroll.
══════
[You have obtained the skill scroll: [Adamantine Sealing Chains]]
[Would you like to learn the skill?]
[Confirm] – [Deny]
══════
His heart pounded hard. With a trembling hand, he clicked on 'confirm.'
"Vrrr!"
The screen shook, emitting a sound resembling a bell, and soon a message in red overlapped the holographic skill learning screen.
══════
[You cannot learn this skill. Prerequisites: 121 INT, 100 VIT, and 50 WIS]
══════
"Urgh..." He groaned softly.
Although he felt a bit frustrated, there was also a hint of joy in his eyes.
Instead of putting the scroll back in the safe, he murmured: 'Inventory.'
When he did that, a large holographic page appeared divided into two parts. On the left side was a tab similar to equipping items on a game character, with slots for a weapon, shield, armor, accessories, etc. On the other side, there was another window divided into grids of 4 slots by 5 slots, totaling 20 free slots.
When he thought of storing the scroll in his hand, the scroll seemed to disintegrate into golden flower petals, and soon it appeared in the first slot of the inventory.
'Such a thing really existed.' It was just a test, something that should have been obvious to test before, but he simply forgot and only now tried to see if there was something like an inventory.
Grabbing a ninja pouch with several shurikens and kunai, instead of thinking about placing it in the inventory, he simply tried to pass it through the inventory window, and as he imagined, it also worked and occupied the second slot.
'So, if they are all in a pouch or something like that, even if they are different items, it's still possible to occupy a single slot...'
This confirmation also expanded the way he could use the inventory. Something that would be more useful than using sealing scrolls.
'Maybe I should start thinking about using something like a sword?' He thought.
Although the strength of the Uzumaki lineage is seals, now that he had a growth system, there was no way he wouldn't want to take advantage of it.
Another thing he only speculated on given everything that happened. The fact that continuous actions could trigger skills, even making a skill from those he had learned before, even meditation, made him believe that continuous physical training could create a skill or even yield attribute points.
With that in mind, he left the house again.
══════
In the training area, Tanaka began doing push-ups.
"211!"
══════
[You have obtained 1 STR by continuously doing push-ups]
══════
'Something really happened and... Just as I expected, it was an increase in the attribute point!' A smile adorned his lips as he continued to do push-ups until he couldn't take it anymore.
He wasn't afraid of getting injured or anything like that. Since he had a player's body, such a thing shouldn't exist. At most, he would lose a bit of HP from getting hurt, but as long as he gained points, he felt it was worth it.
An hour later...
══════
[You have obtained 2 STR by continuously doing push-ups]
══════
Dripping with sweat, he stopped his actions, lying on his back, looking at the sky while breathing softly.
══════
[You gained 3 DEX for doing Squats continuously]
══════
After resting for a few minutes, he started doing sit-ups.
══════
[You gained 2 VIT for doing Sit-ups continuously]
══════
[The skill [Uzumaki Vitality] has been awakened because you have more than 100 VIT!]
[[Uzumaki Vitality] (Passive/Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0%]
It is a technique that allows the user to have extraordinary physical endurance and robust health.
50% increase in HP regeneration rate. 20% increase in VIT amount. 15% increase in physical resistance. 15% increase in physical defense. 50% increase in the effects of HP-related skills. Converts every 50 HP into 50 MP.
══════
HP: [2,523/2,523]
Just looking at the HP increase, he was already amazed. Not to mention, his HP regeneration increased from 50 HP per minute to 75 HP per minute.
This was the amount he passively healed, not to mention that if he learned a healing jutsu... Considering that it becomes a skill related to HP, it would still have a 50% increase in usage. Or even if he opted to exchange MP for HP, thus healing quickly.
'My intelligence is also very close to surpassing the 100-point mark...' he thought.
If VIT was able to trigger such an ability, who knows if the same will happen with INT...
Thinking this way, Tanaka already had a vague idea of how to increase his INT without the need to level up, which so far, he presumed he would only level up when he killed, just like in games where you gain EXP by killing monsters.
Sitting on the floor while dripping sweat, Tanaka did not feel tired mentally or physically.
However, he still chose not to continue training his physique, but rather, he went to take a shower before going to the study room.
══════
With a thick book in hand, talking about ninja history, Tanaka read continuously.
It wasn't as if he had great interest in the world's ninja history, as he knew most of it from the anime he watched, although reading the book now, he knew a bit more with more details.
══════
[You gained 1 INT for reading a book continuously]
══════
Seeing the notification, he rejoiced. It was like a child seeing their favorite candy. His eyes sparkled as he smiled.
'Very well, just 1 more.' He thought, refocusing.
Several minutes later...
══════
[You gained 1 INT for reading a book continuously]
══════
[The skill [Uzumaki Chakra] has been awakened because you have more than 100 INT!]
[[Uzumaki Chakra] (Passive/Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0%]
It is a technique that allows the user to have an extraordinary amount of chakra (MP).
100% increase in MP regeneration rate. 40% increase in INT amount. 30% increase in magical resistance. 30% increase in magical defense. 90% increase in the effects of MP-related skills. Converts every 50 MP into 100 HP.
══════
"..." Tanaka was very surprised.
"Hahaha!"
When he came to his senses, he laughed out loud.
If Uzumaki Vitality made him happy, obtaining Uzumaki Chakra made him want to dance in the study room.
"Tanaka-kun, are you okay?" At the door, Akane appeared, looking at him, concerned.
"Yes, I just..." He lied: "I read something now that made me laugh out loud."
"Ohh, I was surprised since you don't normally laugh this way." She said: "What did you read that was so funny?"
"This..." He felt like he had dug a trap and fallen into it: "Actually, thinking about it, it wasn't that funny..." He said, embarrassed.
"Mm, I see..." She didn't ask more, changing the subject: "Ah yes, I'm going to the convenience store, do you want me to bring something for you?"
"No, I'm fine, thank you, Akane-san." He replied.
After she left, he sighed.
He then looked at his MP and clicked.
[MP: [1,622/1,622]: 14 MP per Minute]
'Both my MP had a substantial increase, and my passive MP recovery increased a lot too.' He smiled as he stretched.
When he stood up, Tanaka could feel himself overflowing with power. It wasn't a matter of an absurd increase, but maybe because the quality itself improved? He wasn't sure, however, now he felt that even if he went up against the ninja who attacked and severely injured him while he was returning from the Leaf Village, he would now be able to win the fight while coming out unscathed.
In the room, he drank a glass of water, feeling invigorated.
══════
In the study room, Tanaka kept reading until late at night when Akane called him for dinner.
══════
[You gained 5 INT for reading a book continuously]
[You gained 1 WIS for wise ideas continuously]
══════
'Oh?' The last notification was a surprise. Until then, he still didn't know how to get WIS attribute.
The fact that he has a habit of constantly thinking and having ideas while reading, thus generating a WIS point, even if only after gaining 5 INT, was a pleasant surprise for someone who expected to gain INT points, always welcome.
══════
January 3rd, Wednesday. Freezing wind.
Wearing more clothes than usual, when Tanaka went out to train after having breakfast, he started noticing the people of the clan and village.
Most of the adults in the Uzumaki Clan were above level 30, while most common civilians were between levels 5 to 15.
Those who were ninjas, especially elite ninjas, he was unable to see the level of most of them. A peculiarity he understood while observing the level of those he watched was that after level 50, he couldn't see their level.
'So, it's like those games when the level difference is too big, and all you see are several question marks...' Tanaka began to understand.
This simplifies a lot of things. Even who he would need to avoid in a confrontation.
Even though his stats were exaggerated for someone who was only level 1, he wasn't foolish enough to believe he was strong enough to deal with those who are level 50+.
Standing on a four-story building, Tanaka looked at the village, which seemed incredibly beautiful and prosperous, and sighed thinking that possibly everything would become history when attacked by ninjas from various villages.
Even aware of this, he managed to remain calm, and the initial fear he felt when thinking about these things dissipated as quickly as it came.
At the training site, surrounded by trees and not far away a waterway was in sight.
'I should try to unlock the skill of walking on water and trees later.' he thought.
══════
[You gained 3 VIT for continuously doing Sit-Ups]
[You gained 3 DEX for continuously doing Squats]
[You gained 3 STR for continuously doing Push-Ups]
[You gained 3 VIT for continuously running]
══════
[[Water Walking] leveled up!]
[[Obstacle Running] leveled up!]
══════
'That's enough physical training for today…' He thought: 'After lunch, I'll see how much INT and WIS I can gain by reading.'
With that in mind, he returned home.
While running, he thought: 'I wonder how much time I have until I'm sent on a new mission…'
══════
"I'm back." Tanaka announced upon arrival.
"Ara, Tanaka-kun, you arrived just in time~" Akane's voice echoed from the kitchen area as she peeked at him through the door: "Go wash your hands and call Kushina for me, please?"
"Yes." Tanaka replied with a smile.
Tapping his foot on the floor twice, he entered.
On the second floor, he knocked on Kushina's door: "Kushina-chan, your mother is calling you to eat."
"I'm coming!" Kushina's sweet, childlike voice echoed instantly.
Soon, she opened the door: "Oniichan, shall we go?"
Holding her little hand, they went downstairs.
Downstairs, the table was already set.
"It looks delicious~" Kushina let go of Tanaka's hand as she circled the table, her index finger on her lip, drooling slightly.
"Fufu, it's not just the appearance, it's really delicious." Akane pinched her daughter's chubby cheek and asked in a slightly stern tone: "Have you washed your hands, young lady?"
"Oniichan didn't wash his hands either, dattebane!" She tattled instead of admitting her own fault.
"Oh, young lady…!" Akane pretended to be angry as she reached out toward Kushina.
"Hehehe~" Laughing, Kushina escaped Akane's 'claws' while heading toward the kitchen sink, grabbing a stool to wash her hands.
Akane seemed helpless as she said: "What am I going to do with you, dattekane?"
Smiling, Tanaka also went to wash his hands.
While eating, Akane spoke seriously: "Tanaka-kun, today while you were out, someone from the Uzukage's office came."
Stopping his meal, he looked at her.
"They wanted you to go on a mission, but I managed to get them to postpone it for 3 days."
"Thank you." Tanaka said: "Three days are enough."
"Oniichan, are you going on a mission again?" Kushina asked in a lamentable voice.
"I have to." Tanaka replied: "But this time, I won't come back hurt."
"Do you promise?"
"Yes, I promise." Tanaka was confident he could keep his promise.
After all, with a gamer's body, even if he got hurt, it was just a matter of resting or even eating and sleeping to be good as new.
"Okay." Kushina said before returning to her meal, extending her pinky toward him: "You promised, if you don't keep it, you'll have to swallow a thousand needles~"
Interlocking his pinky with hers, he nodded: "Mm."
On the side, Akane, who saw this, was smiling gently. Her smile was as beautiful as a sunset.
══════
Knowing he only had 3 days before having to go on another mission made Tanaka speed up his preparations, one of which was learning as many useful skills as possible, such as: 'Mystical Palm Technique,' which he held the jutsu scroll and clicked to confirm.
══════
[You obtained the skill: [Mystical Palm]]
A healing skill using chakra (MP) (you need to touch the target directly to use this ability).
[[Mystical Palm] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 30MP]
Effect: Heals up to 50 HP.
Effect: The amount of healing increases with each level.
Effect: The duration of the healing increases with each level.
Additional cost: 40MP per minute while healing is active and can heal up to 80 HP per minute.
══════
When he extended his hand, a green aura began to surround it.
The fact that he could learn skills this way was an unprecedented advantage. It was a cheat where he could simply skip the entire process and go straight to learning the jutsu he desired, as long as he met the basic requirements of points distributed in certain attributes and possessed the jutsu scroll that would transform into a skill for him.
While testing this skill, he was surprised to make a discovery: 'Heavens, I thought I would have a 90% increase using this skill, but in reality, it's 140%, since although it uses MP, it also heals HP, so the 50% increase from Uzumaki Vitality also applies to this skill...'
It's basically 125 healing at skill activation and 200 HP per minute...
Wanting to be well-prepared for the next three days, he thought: 'Okay, I need to get some jutsus...'
With this in mind, he set out.
══════
Later, in the training area, Tanaka took several scrolls and began learning them one by one.
══════
[[Earth Style Wall] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 20MP]

══════

══════
'I had to spend a good portion of my contribution to acquire these jutsus, but it was worth it.' He thought with a smile.
Soon, he approached the water, then, making several seals while murmuring in his mind: 'Water Dragon Bomb.'
The speed of the seals or even the accuracy was something he shouldn't have been able to do right away. After all, it was a jutsu with several seals, but the moment he wanted to use the jutsu that had become a skill for him, his hands basically moved on their own and started making the seals, he just had to coordinate and then, the water dragon was created.
Under his control, Tanaka made it attack toward the water.
"Boom!"
The moment the water dragon made contact with the water, an explosion of water occurred, creating several ripples in the water.
Making other hand seals, he murmured in his mind: 'Water Wall.'
Soon, he blew water from his mouth, creating a water wall around him, preventing him from being hit by the waves. The sounds of the water waves hitting the barrier echoed, along with the sound of the sea's agitation, however, while he was surrounded by the water wall, he wasn't hit.
When the sea calmed down, he dispelled the barrier. Seeing that he had lost a good portion of MP, Tanaka used HP-to-MP conversion. Soon, when he saw he was running out of health, he used the 'Mystical Palm' skill to heal the lost HP.
'I basically have infinite MP this way...' Tanaka thought with eyes gleaming a bit. Of course, he understood that the speed of conversion and having to heal after using HP to restore MP could be risky depending on the situation.
But, at least for training, it was very useful. Or even if he could manage to evade the enemy while doing the conversion.
January 6th, Saturday. Strong and cold wind.

══════
After noon, 1:33 PM, he finds himself in the Uzukage's office.
About to leave on a mission, Tanaka was wearing a personalized tactical vest with several pockets where he carried ninja tools and sealing scrolls. Underneath, he wore a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with the whirlpool symbol and red details on the shoulders.
His pants were comfortable, also dark blue, suitable for agile movements, and he had a pouch at his waist with more ninja tools. On his feet, he wore ninja shoes (tabi). Under his red hair, Tanaka wore a ninja headband with the whirlpool symbol.
In front of him stood Masashi Uzumaki, the current Uzukage of Uzushiogakure (Hidden Whirlpool Village). Dressed in a haori, along with a completely dark blue kimono with a red whirlpool symbol on the shoulders, tied with a red sash.
══════
LV?? Masashi Uzumaki
══════
Masashi Uzumaki has the appearance of a middle-aged man, handsome, with long crimson hair tied in a loose ponytail. He has bright purple eyes. He also has a short red beard with fang-like or horn-like protrusions.
Next to Tanaka stood a beautiful young woman who looked about 18 years old.
"Old man, what's the mission this time?" She asked without the slightest hint of respect.
"Shiori, how many times have I told you not to call me that, especially when we're not at home?" Masashi put his hand on his face as he sighed.
"Tsk, just give me the mission already, shitty father." She clicked her tongue and struck the handle of her halberd on the ground.
"Bang!"
Shiori is wearing an elegant purple jacket with a striking red belt. The jacket is open, revealing a white shirt with a deep neckline. She also wears dark, body-fitting pants, complementing the sophisticated look. Her skin is fair, her lips red, and like her father, she has dangerously bright purple eyes. Her red hair is tied in a high ponytail, highlighting her face and confident expression.
In her left hand, she held a halberd. The halberd was taller than her, with the shaft measuring about 170 cm and a curved, sharp blade at the end, approximately 30 cm, resembling a combination of a spear and a sword.
══════
LV?? Shiori Uzumaki
══════
"What do you think, Tanaka-kun, isn't she mean to me?" Masashi looked at him, pretending to be pitiful.
"..." Not expecting the attention to be directed at him, Tanaka was speechless, and before he could say anything, Shiori spoke.
"Stop stalling, old man." She demanded, impatient.
"My god, you're just like your mother, with no sense of humor or patience." He raised his hand while shaking his head.
When he noticed Shiori's gaze becoming more piercing, Masashi stopped joking and handed a paper to Shiori first, then motioned for Tanaka to come closer and handed one to him as well.
Then, the other three masked ninjas also received a sheet with the mission information.
"Your mission is a simple one of delivering goods to our allies in Konoha. However, you must be aware that this will not please the villages that are at war with them, so, although simple, the risk of this mission is A+," he said seriously. "If you think you are not capable, I will understand. This is not a mandatory mission, but I still ask that you accept it."
"Of course I will accept," Shiori said in a calm and unperturbed voice.
The other three masked ninjas did not refuse and then looked at Tanaka.
══════
[The Uzukage, Masashi Uzumaki, has given you a mission.]
══════
[Quest: Mission of the Hidden Whirlpool Village.]
Objective:
Deliver the goods to the Leaf Village within 30 days.
Time remaining: 29 days and 23:59 minutes.
Reward: 50,000 EXP.
Increase your prestige with the Hidden Whirlpool Village and your friendship with the Uzukage.
If you fail: Lose prestige with the Hidden Whirlpool Village and your friendship with the Uzukage.
══════
[Confirm] – [Decline]
══════
On the other hand, Tanaka, who saw a new option appear for the first time, took a while to respond, but once he came to his senses, he clicked confirm and said calmly, "I accept this mission."
Whether it was the amount of EXP he was proposing to receive, or because he wanted to go out and try to level up, Tanaka saw no reason not to accept. Even with the risks in mind.
Since he was going on a mission with these three ninjas as well, Tanaka took a good look at them.
══════
LV49 Hisashi Nagare
══════
LV48 Takashi Nagare
══════
LV50 Umiko Mizukami
══════
'So, Shiori-san is the only Jonin in the group...' he thought calmly. 'However, their levels are not low.'
"Since you all agree, Shiori will be the leader," the Third Uzukage said. "As you can see, she is a bit impatient, but you can trust her strength and leadership."
"Yes!" Takashi and the rest agreed firmly.
Before leaving, masks were given to Tanaka and Shiori to wear during the mission.
Tanaka's mask was a simple white mask with two red horns and two exposed fangs pointing upward.
Shiori's mask was more feminine, with cracked details, red markings, and a single red horn at the center of the top.
Out of curiosity, before wearing the mask, Tanaka briefly checked its information.
══════
Oni Mask – Rank: Special.
A mask made by the Uzumaki Clan. Increases concealment by 50% while wearing it.
══════
'I knew it would be useful to wear the mask to hide our identities, but I didn't expect it to also increase concealment...'
Tanaka put on the mask.
Although surprised, considering who created the mask, something of this level should not be difficult to make.
Outside the Uzukage's office, on a wooden pier, Tanaka, alongside Shiori and the others, stood before a sailing boat large enough for a crew of at least 10 people.
'I will be the King of Pirates!' At the same time this thought crossed his mind, Tanaka also felt like hiding.
The embarrassment of recalling something like this just by seeing a sailboat made his face turn a bit red.
"Tanaka-kun, are you alright?" Shiori asked. It was a calm and unperturbed voice. "If you're not well, let me know now."
Even with the mask, she must have noticed something about him. Tanaka became even more embarrassed, but soon his mind cleared, and he managed to remain composed as he said, "Yes, I just remembered something embarrassing."
"Oh, being so, I am relieved," she simply said, diverting her attention to the sailboat.
Shiori said, "As long as we wear the masks, we won't use our real names. I don't need to explain why, right? Until the end of the mission, call me Onimi or leader."
Umiko simply said a name and fell silent: "Onika."
"As for me, you can call me Kiichi," said Takashi.
Hisashi said, "Kitaro."
Tanaka was thoughtful for a moment before saying, "You can call me Yūgi."
He chose this name on purpose, as 'Yūgi' can mean 'Game', a nickname he found fitting for himself.
After this brief introduction, they boarded the sailing boat.
As the anchor was pulled to set sail, the ninja in charge of navigating the boat seemed very tense.
It was no wonder, the journey itself to the coast of the Land of Fire was dangerous. Even being a ninja, he was only level 25. He was probably only in charge of simpler missions.
"Stay alert!" Shiori exclaimed in a controlled voice: "You never know when those vermin will start sneaking around."
Looking at her with the halberd resting on her shoulder and a fierce expression, Tanaka felt she was right to say that. Especially a few minutes later when something appeared before him.
══════
After being surrounded by a significant amount of continuous bloodlust, you unlocked the skill [Detect Bloodlust].
[[Detect Bloodlust (Passive)] LV1: EXP: 0.00]
A skill that detects any bloodlust directed at the user.
Detects bloodlust within 50 meters of the user's location. Also alerts the user about its source.
══════
'In the end, she was right, but...' he thought: 'Where are they hiding?'
Opening the map. Everything was quickly filtered at an alarming speed, and then, several blue dots and some green ones appeared, coming from the sailing boat and then, not far away, he saw 4 red dots coming from the direction the boat was heading.
Naturally, there was no one visible above the sea, which suggested the enemies were hiding underwater.
Going to the bow, climbing up, Tanaka's eyes sharpened as he grabbed several ninja stars, four in each hand, and threw them towards the sea while activating 'Precise Throw' and reciting in his mind.
In an instant, the ninja stars traced a path through the air towards the sea.
"Yūgi, what was that just now?" Shiori approached.
Tanaka did not respond to her, but instead activated the skill again, grabbing more ninja stars and throwing them into the sea again.
Soon, a kind of blood cloud began to rise.
"Enemies?" Shiori gripped the halberd shaft tightly as her eyes became as sharp as a razor looking at the sea: "Reef the sails!"
However, she gave Tanaka a stern look right after. This was because what came floating up was not a ninja ambushing them, but a shark.
"Yūgi, you..."
"Smart, but... you don't fool me!" Before she could continue, Tanaka did not stop. He performed several hand seals and murmured: "Water Style: Water Dragon Bomb Technique!"
══════
LV45 Kaito Tsukishima
HP: [2,122 / 2,998]
══════
The moment the water dragon was formed, causing ripples in the sea, at Tanaka's command, the water dragon roared and headed towards the 'bleeding' shark.
"Damn!"
A curse came, and soon the shark transformed into a ninja wearing a white mask with blue tribal details and the symbol of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) on the forehead.
Shiori seemed surprised by this revelation, but she was quick to command, "Enemy attack, prepare yourselves!"
Meanwhile, the water dragon created by Tanaka hit the target.
As the attack landed, he saw the Hidden Mist Village ninja's health gradually decrease to 30%.
'How tenacious...' he thought.
At the same time, four other ninjas wearing masks similar to that of the Hidden Mist Village ninja appeared.
"Formation!" one of them shouted while standing on the water.
Shiori jumped from the boat, landing on the water, followed by Hisashi and Takashi.
══════

LV39 Ren Sazanami
HP: [2,099/2,099]
══════
LV50 Sora Fubuki
HP: [3,124/3,124]
══════
Tanaka did not lose focus on the target, which was the ninja they were supporting with half health. As he jumped from the boat, he performed several hand seals and, before even landing on the water, he murmured, "Water Style: Water Dragon Bomb Technique!"
"Damn, it's him again!" exclaimed the ninja named Ren, who was supporting the ninja Kaito.
"Ahhhhh!"
A scream echoed.
While they were distracted by Tanaka's attack, Shiori took advantage of the moment when their attention was diverted from her. With the passive concealment of the mask, she struck the chest of the ninja Sora Fubuki squarely.
"Humph! That's what you get for underestimating us too much!" Shiori pulled the halberd horizontally, tearing Sora Fubuki in half.
With a cold and impassive face, she swung the halberd towards the sea, splattering the residual blood off the blade.
'As expected of a Jonin,' Tanaka thought.
And she didn't seem to be just any Jonin. Even the two Jonins on the enemy's side took a few steps back on the water, staying alert as they looked towards Shiori.
"Idiots~!" Shiori pronounced, and then Tanaka's attack hit them squarely.
"Boom!"
The moment the water dragon hit, Tanaka clenched his hand, making the water dragon explode.
Shiori didn't look at him but gave him a thumbs-up with her free hand.
Meanwhile, a notification appeared in front of Tanaka.
══════
[You gained 36,900 EXP!]
[You leveled up 11 times!]
══════
[You obtained
══════
'From level 1, I went straight to level 12...' An imperceptible smile curved his lips.
Of course, he understood this was due to his low level and the high level of the target he killed.
'And, I didn't expect there to be something like a drop...'
His thoughts were interrupted when the Jonin of the Hidden Mist Village, Riku Kirisame, used the very jutsu he had obtained from killing one of them.
"Ninpou: Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Technique)!"
"I won't let you!" Shiori advanced with her halberd. Soon, flames were produced at the tip of the halberd as she swung it from bottom to top, attacking them diagonally.
Daiki Shigure, who was also a Jonin, grabbed a short sword from his waist, holding it sideways, positioning it to defend.
"Humph!" Snorting, Shiori didn't seem to struggle with the opposing defense as her halberd clashed with the sword, which split in two.
"What the—?" In shock, Jonin Daiki tried to retreat, but to his complete surprise, the speed of the halberd didn't diminish at all. It was as if the clash with his sword had been entirely insignificant, leaving him vulnerable and defenseless before the relentless attack.
"Daiki!" The Chunin behind him, Ren Sazanami, pulled him by his clothes, managing to pull him back just in time to avoid the flaming blade of Shiori's halberd.
"Whoosh!"
Even with a graze, a slash marked from Jonin Daiki's nose to his navel.
"Didn't they ever teach you to never lose sight of your enemy?" A cold voice sounded behind Ren Sazanami.
Before he could react, Umiko appeared like a shadow, a kunai gleaming in her hand. With a swift and precise movement, she slashed his throat. Blood spurted, and Ren released Jonin Daiki, his hands desperately trying to staunch the flow of blood escaping his throat, his eyes wide with surprise and pain.
Tanaka saw an opportunity while Jonin Daiki was stunned, even if for a moment, and used 'Great Destruction,' murmuring in his mind.
"Whoosh!!"
The instant he blew the wind from his mouth, a very strong gust resembling a windstorm was produced. In moments, even the mist surrounding them began to disperse as the gust of wind created strong ripples in the air.
Jumping back, Tanaka successfully dodged a surprise attack from Riku Kirisame.
[You took 988 damage]
Even with a graze, Tanaka placed his hand on his belly where he was hit by a sword blade.
"Very good, you managed to dodge that, but..." Jonin Riku's cold voice echoed, "I want you to die!"
"We won't let you do that." Hisashi appeared on Jonin Riku's left side while Takashi appeared on the right.
The two finished making the necessary seals and said at the same time, "Sealing Technique: Water Seal!"
In an instant, large waves were created from opposite sides and then rushed towards Jonin Riku at great speed.
"Damn Uzushiogakure ninjas and their damned sealing techniques!" Jonin Riku shouted in frustration. However, Tanaka noticed something—it was a hint of a smile.
When he realized it, Jonin Riku had already submerged into the sea, escaping the sealing jutsu of the two.
[You gained 1 level in detecting bloodlust.]
The moment he saw this, it didn't take a genius to understand that Jonin Riku's primary target was him.
Running, he headed towards Shiori, who had just beheaded Jonin Daiki.
As he ran, he used 'Mystical Palm' to heal himself.
Instead of using it in the standard way, healing with the skill active, he kept activating and deactivating it to heal faster, even if it required more MP.
When he looked at the map, he could see Jonin Riku's location and, before he could reach Shiori, an attack from below came towards him at great speed.
"Damn..." he murmured, "Water Style: Water Wall!"
Instead of spitting water, he chose to use the water from the sea itself, constructing a water wall.
"Urghhh!"
Even with the water wall, Jonin Riku's sword pierced through and hit his left eye.
The pain of having his eye pierced was too excruciating to describe in words. However, no matter how painful it was, he managed to stay calm, distancing himself and making a hand sign while muttering in his mind: 'Gale Palm!'
Extending his hand forward, a strong gust of wind was produced, striking Jonin Riku. However, before he could be happy, Jonin Riku turned into water.
"Damn it!" Cursing, he saw that Jonin Riku's real body was right below him.
Jumping as high as he could, Tanaka made new hand signs and muttered in his mind: 'Water Dragon Bomb!'
When the water dragon formed, Tanaka waited until he saw Jonin Riku about to emerge from the water, anticipating his arrival.
'Take this!' he shouted in his mind.
"Whoosh!"
The water dragon roared and moved at great speed but simply missed the target, who did not emerge from the water as Tanaka anticipated, only half of his body emerging slowly before saying: "You will pay for this!"
Then, he transformed into a kind of dolphin and started swimming away.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the water dragon that missed its target exploded as it fell into the sea.
"Not so fast!" When Shiori said this, she stomped on the water, creating a strong ripple, making the entire sea shake to an extent of over 1 kilometer while from her foot, a brilliant golden chain emerged, traveling through the water at incredible speed.
In moments, the chain circled Jonin Riku's body, pulling him in, unable to even use chakra now that he was caught by these chains.
Umiko, who arrived next to Tanaka accompanied by Hisashi and Takashi, murmured: "I wonder how they found out the exact moment we would leave to plan this ambush."
"Did someone leak information?" Takashi speculated.
"I think it's more likely that there's a spy." Umiko said in a low voice.
"By the way, Yūgi." Hisashi looked at Tanaka as he asked: "Are you okay?"
Umiko and Takashi also looked at him.
"Er." He removed his hand from his chest, revealing no more wounds. "I'm already healed."
"That's good." Hisashi said, stopping to pay attention to him, and the other two did the same.
Pulled out of the water, now without his dolphin transformation, Jonin Riku had a distorted face, looking incredibly frustrated.
"How are you able to use that!?" Jonin Riku shouted towards Shiori: "That's not what 'he' said!"
"Oho? I would love to know who this 'he' you're talking about is, but, I bet you won't talk anytime soon, so..." Shiori took out a scroll and opened it, and in the next moment, she pulled Jonin Riku into the scroll while saying: "Be sealed for now."
"You bitch, let me go!!" Jonin Riku exclaimed full of resentment: "Just release these chains and fight me if you have the courage!"
"Humph! What kind of childish provocation is that?" Shiori mocked: "Is that how you were taught in the Hidden Mist Village? Well, it doesn't matter, I don't want to know~"
"You..." Before he could finish what he was going to say, the golden chains pulled him completely into the sealing scroll, sealing him in the process.
"Tsk, what an unpleasant guy." Shiori clicked her tongue as she rolled up the scroll and put it away.
Although the technique she used was the same as the 'Attachment Technique' that Tanaka had learned before, she demonstrated great mastery of the technique by sealing someone, especially by using the 'Adamantine Sealing Chains'.
"Were those all?" She looked specifically at Tanaka as she asked this question.
Until then, he had proven to be the best among them at detecting enemies.
"I believe so." Tanaka replied.
She looked at all of them, seeing that everyone seemed fine, and asked: "Just to confirm, no one is hurt, right?"
"I'm already healed." Tanaka said.
"We're fine." Umiko and the other two said in unison.
"Then, we'll return to the ship and continue our mission." She said, soon jumping towards the ship.
══════
Things calmed down for a while. This gave Tanaka time to open his status and distribute some of the points he had gained after changing his ninja outfit that had been torn before.

Clicking confirm, he saw his MP mainly increase to: [2,177/2,177]. Another thing he noticed was that his MP regeneration changed from 14 MP per second to 16 MP per second.
Of course, this didn't matter as much as learning the skill: Adamantine Sealing Chains.
Discreetly, he took out the technique scroll and clicked confirm when it appeared. Soon, a window full of information appeared before his eyes.

"God..." Tanaka murmured quietly as he choked on his own spittle.
'This is more exaggerated than I imagined...' he thought right after, letting out a long sigh that confused Umiko and the rest.
The usage cost was alarming, a very high amount just to be able to use this skill for a few minutes. However, just learning this skill had already benefited him enormously.

══════
Seeing how much he had improved and knowing that the higher his attributes increased, the greater the skill's bonus would be, made him excited to the point of wanting to distribute the remaining points mainly into INT.
'Should I or should I not do this?' He was in doubt.
Honestly, he was in doubt. Part of him wanted to increase luck, as it was the only attribute he didn't know how to increase without leveling up. However, he wanted more MP and, considering the possibility of being ambushed again, he clicked confirm.

══════
Tanaka felt dizzy just seeing so many pages appearing, and after reading all the information, he laughed in his heart.
'In the end, it was the right choice to put everything into INT, after all.' He thought, holding back from letting his emotions show.
Luckily, he had the mind of a gamer, or else, even for him, it would be difficult to stay calm.
Taking a deep breath, he analyzed everything more calmly.
MP: [2,450/2,450] -> [2,978/2,978]
