7 Plans(2)

Naruto: "The plan goes like this:

1. Study and learn all kinds of skills. Every skill is a useful one in some way.

2. Start Swordsmanship.

3. Master Yamato and learn it's capabilities.

4. According to Cain, obtain a prodigious amount of information on skills and every kind of information before taking the pill for maximum effect.

5. Figure out the Human(?)

6. Leave this damn place! "

Naruto: "Cain. You got all that?"

[Yes. All recorded. +2 Wis for planning out your future.]

Naruto: "Yeah yeah." Naruto got up and went to the restroom with light steps. After washing his face. he left his apartment. He had a plan for today. A productive day of pickpocketing. 'You would think that as the Uzumaki heir and the Hokage's son would have some form of money right? Nope! Not a single damn Ryo.'

The first thing Naruto feels is the warm sun when he stepped outside. He inhaled the sweet air in and out, relaxing himself and his mind. He walked to the streets and he tries to find himself a target. Throughout the 'walking' session, he gained a lot of stares and hushed whispers.

[Detect Malevolent Intention Level 14, Exp-44%]

[Detect Killer Intent Level 22, Exp-89%]

Naruto: 'It's that bad huh?' Naruto only gave a single glance at the board and continued walking. He knew that he would be hated a lot but this much is a little shocking. So many people wanted to kill him. 'All the more reason to leave.'

He walked and walked and he found a target. A forty-year-old looking man who was drinking at this store. He drank as if his life depended on it and from his face, one can tell he's been through a lot. Original Naruto would have felt bad but newer Naruto found a target. Naruto was stealthily walking towards him. From corners to alleyways and even the trees. He was getting closer and closer until he believed he was at a reasonable distance.

[Stealth Level 2, Exp-76%]

Naruto: 'AHHH!!! YOU @#$#@@$!!! God! You're gonna give me a heart attack!! Don't do that! Turn off the board temporarily until I go back to the apartment.' Naruto was furious. He was about to almost fail his mission for the day due to a notification. As soon as he got himself under control, he approached the man. Naruto kicked the almost broken chair fast enough to where the crack sound wouldn't be heard from his direction and he moved to another side. The man fell on his side heavily with a loud sound.

BAM!

Naruto: 'Oof. That's gonna leave a mark.' "Are you okay sir? Let me help you up." Other people also came to help, not knowing about the fact that the person helping person was the one who dropped him.

?: "Thank y-" The man looked at the blond. His eyes were wide open. His rage started filling his eyes as he started remembering. "YOU!! YOU DEMON!! YOU TOOK MY FAMILY AWAY FROM ME!! DIE!!!" said the drunken man as threw the chair next to him. Naruto dodged it and ran. From his voice, other people also recognized the boy and also started shouting. Naruto saw all this and quickly left.

Naruto: 'Whew. Any longer in there and I would have become chum.' Naruto put his hands in his pockets. He felt the money moving along with his pants. A smile appeared on his face. 'Next target then.'

Sometime later, it was reaching the afternoon. Naruto felt that he spent his morning very productively and went home. He had some breakfast while he was on his "mission". When he went inside his apartment, the notification board popped up.

[+2 Wis, +1 End, +3 Int for the total of all your actions.]

Naruto: 'Cool. I didn't expect stealth to be the one to level up the most. Well, I sort of did. Make sure to give me summaries later Cain.' Naruto didn't just pickpocket, he robbed some stores. He stole from stores in small quantities so that it wouldn't come back to him easily. Not only that, he touched a book which gave him the option to learn it and he picked yes. When he did, the book burned away in blue flames and he immediately ran away, fearing that it might have alerted somebody. Luckily, it did not.

Naruto: 'Shurikenjutsu will be very nice. It can help set a decent foundation for my swordsmanship training and increase my versatility with weapons. Good. Now I only wish I shopped successfully and normally without being attacked verbally or physically. I think I'll ask the third about that. Cain is there anything I can do now that can help me long-term wise.'

[Yes. There is a fusion option available.]

Naruto: 'There is? Of what?'

[Of Detect Killer Intent and Detect Malevolent Intention]

Naruto: 'Oh. What does it result in? The fusion.'

[Negative Emotion Sensing]

Naruto: 'Alright but do I lose the two skills?'

[No. As almost all skills have an evolutionary path, they can only disappear if they are maxed out. After it's maxed out, it becomes permanent so even if you somehow got rid of it, it will be ingrained in your very DNA.]

Naruto: 'Don't know what DNA is but okay. Do it then.'

[Commencing Fusion...fusing...fusion completed.]

[Negative Emotion Sensing (Passive/Active) Level 39, Exp-43%]

Naruto: 'Whoa.' Naruto looked a bit surprised. 'Why is that so high?'

[It is because of the Nine-Tails. It is one of its natural abilities. You have not unlocked it previously but now that you have it, this ability of the Nine-Tails helped gave it a small boost.]

Naruto: 'Yeah...small.' Naruto rolled his eyes. 'So I'm guessing this lets me feel a person's negative emotions towards me or just their negative emotions in general?'

[Yes to both and it can also sense presence at certain proximity.]

Naruto: 'Now I get why you recommended this. This will let me protect myself from the wrong people and have some form of detection prowess.'

[+1 Wis for figuring out my intention.]

Naruto: 'Let me finish. Is it possible to feel the seven sins?'

[...]

[...]

[Yes.]

Naruto: 'Should I question that pause?' Naruto stopped and then smiled. 'Nah. I trust Cain. Everything he has done is to help me so I'll let it go.' and then Naruto activated it. What he felt gave him a small surprise. 'Now that I have this, I can sense some around me. There is one watching me with zero emotions. Creepy...but I'll figure that one out later.' As soon as Naruto thought that, the entity left.' Alright...moving on.' Looking to Naruto's left. 'Then there is the other one who is very depressing. What the hell is the matter with the dude?'
