Chapter 3

-[Danzo]-

Once again the boy proved to be a prodigy. It only took him two days to unseal the scroll. While the unsealing of the scroll wasn't anything special, one had to look at the fact that he was an absolute novice to chakra.

Apparently the boy had taken to lightly exercising within the room from time to time. He wasn't too surprised seeing as how every shinobi was aware of how the body's physical condition affected chakra.

'He's growing better than I expected.' He thought as he read the report in front of him.

-[Kaito]-

In the room, he kept one foot on the wall as he took in a breath. His other leg followed suit as he now stood horizontally on the wall.

He'd been a bit busy. He had yet to try any actual jutsu, not that he had the option to pick them out. He had only recently unsealed the content of the scroll which contained even more books.

He wouldn't refuse more knowledge but that didn't mean he would slack off on one part of the learning process. As he stood on the wall, he he'd a book in his hand as he read through it.

He already knew the basics of chakra beforehand, this only allowed him to make sure he understood the intricacies that weren't explicitly explained.

He'd finished all of that and was finally ready to try out the practical aspect. As he turned the page and read, a notification popped up.

[You have obtained skill book - (Clone Technique)]

[Learn?]

[Yes | No]

He quickly stopped himself from pressing yes. There was no telling what would happen to the book and he wouldn't be able to explain what happened.

Ignoring the notification, he continued reading. Not long after that, another notification appeared.

[Would you like to comprehend skill - (Clone Technique)?]

[Yes | No]

He noticed the difference in the wording. Hoping he wasn't making the wrong decision, he accepted. There was no flashy display of light or anything as another screen popped up.

[Skill Gained]

[Clone Jutsu][Lvl 1/10]

'So there are other ways to learn a skill without consuming the book.' He thought in relief as he felt the book still in his hands.

With the skills acquired, what was left was to level them up.

[Quest Complete]

[Objective - Learn the three basic techniques]

[Reward - Body Flicker Technique]

[You have leveled up]

'So there's a mission function.' He thought before focusing on the level up notification. His attention immediately turned to his status, noticing the 5 stat points he had.

'I'm not using these anytime soon.' He thought as he closed the screen and went to work on leveling the three basic shinobi techniques.

[}-:-{]

Standing in front of Danzo was one of his Root ANBU. They stayed in silence for a moment before a puff of smoke gave way to the true form of Kaito standing in front of Danzo.

"Well done Kanoe. You're progressing faster than I thought." The man praised without a change of expression. "Your next task will be much harder than the ones you've done so far. I expect nothing less than success." He added firmly as he tossed two scrolls to Kaito.

Not bothering to look back, the man closed the door on his exit as Kaito picked up the first scroll. The boy held back a scold as he opened the scroll, finding it to be another sealing scroll.

Forming the necessary hand seals, he unsealed the scroll as he saw…a brush, small jars of ink and slips of paper. He was confused for a moment as he turned to the other scroll.

Unlike the former, this was a simple scroll and not a sealing scroll but that wasn't what caught his attention.

[You have obtained skill scroll - (Fuinjutsu)]

[Learn?]

[Yes | No]

'You've got to be kidding me!' He thought in surprise as he read the pop up. 'Harder than the ones I've done before? That's an understatement!'

He dismissed the screen as he calmed himself down and began reading the scroll. Not long after he began carefully reading it, another notification appeared.

[Would you like to comprehend skill - (Fuinjutsu)?]

[Yes | No]

He has never clicked the 'Yes' faster before now.

[Skill Gained]

[Fuinjutsu][Lvl 1/70]

A type of jutsu that seals objects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object. Fūinjutsu can also be used to restrict movement or unseal objects either from within something or someone.

Increases seal potency by 1%

It was only [Gamer Mind] that kept him from physically celebrating. That and the ANBU that he was sure was lurking outside his room.

Though he was excited, he also noticed one thing. Despite all the books and material he was given to study, not once was physical training mentioned which disturbed him.

Danzo wasn't a man to forget things like that. The man had called him his 'greatest creation' and had yet to touch on that aspect.

He had no doubt that he would benefit from the physical training with how low stats must be compared to those of a shinobi.

'There must be a reason.' He thought as he turned his attention back to the scroll. 'No matter, I'll have to focus on what I have available in the meantime.'

As much as a part of him screamed that Danzo was literally the incarnation of all things evil, another part of him thought of all the benefits he could gain while here.

The thought of escaping crossed his mind but then came the question, where would he escape to? How would he even escape in the first place?

He knew he would have to find a way out of this place soon but he put it at the back of his mind for the moment. For now, he would milk this opportunity for all it was worth.

He mentally prepared himself for the brain wrecking aspect of chakra that was Fuinjutsu.
