08 - Training, Training, Training, Train...

A ninja wearing a characteristic Anbu mask appeared in front of me.

"Hmm... man... in respect of myself, I'm not going to fight this guy, I want to get out of here, but wait... how do I get out?" I thought.

At the exact moment I had this doubt, a message appeared in front of my face with the background paused, giving me time to read the message.

[ Tutorial : If you want to give up your attempt, say "Kai" to end the mini-game ].

No doubt knowing my limitations, I said out loud as soon as I closed the message.

"KAI!"

*TSUUUuuuuu

Everything had stopped, while inside the mini-game universe, this time without closing my eyes, I could see an interface opening up in front of me.

[ Weekly Test Results ]

[ Time Survived : 15:07 ]

[ Points Earned : 15070 ]

[ Hint : Get a Super Coin (SC) every 15000 points ]

[ Hint : Super Coins can be spent in the Super Shop to purchase Senjutus, Doujutsus, Kekkei Genkais and other special jutsus ]

[ Tip : Be careful, we don't accept refunds... ]

"Refunds?" I asked myself in confusion.

[ 15070 Points ]

[ 1 SC + 70 Points ]

[ Super Shop Access Granted ]

For a brief moment, the interface didn't give me any more information, waiting for some new information or notification, until I was surprised when I blinked.

When I closed my eyes, nothing happened, but when I opened them after blinking, I woke up startled in my bed, looked around, and saw that my window was slightly open and a chill was coming into the room.

"Shit, I forgot..." I thought to myself.

As I stood up and closed the window, I remembered the coin I'd received, my first Tier 2 coin, and curiously searched the system interface for the Super Shop, which could offer me great improvements.

[ Welcome to the Super Shop ]

{ Doujutsus }

[ Sharingan : 1 Tomoe (Rare) = 1 SP ]

[ Sharingan : 2 Tomoe (Epic) = 5 SP ]

[ Byakugan (Epic) = 5 SP ]

{Special Jutsus}

[ Eight Gates : 1st Opening Gate = 15 SP ]

They were all very interesting, but despite my excitement, I had to be very careful because having a doujutsu in the world of Naruto meant being in the sights of several dangerous ninjas, Orochimaru, Danzo, Itachi, Black Zetsu, Kabuto, and even Hiruzen could be an obstacle.

The problem was, no matter what I did, a doujutsu would fall out of favor and probably cause me problems, so if I wanted to have one of them, I had to be strong first, especially with the system's warning making this problem clear.

~No refunds...~

I'd better be careful...

The next day, after I woke up, I received another message.

"Huh... 'scratching my eye' ...but, already?" I wondered.

[ New Special Mission ]

[ Breaking the limit of one of your attributes will unlock the final goal, thus ending the system's tutorial period ].

Oh good, I finally have a more tangible goal... avenging my father still seems far away.

"What does the system want me to do? Well, this isn't the time to talk, I have to meet my sensei!" I thought to myself.

That day, Team 7 would meet their sensei, as would all the other teams at the ninja school that year.

At the Ninja School

Time passed, the teams left with their sensei and team 7 waited, I was bored to death watching Sakura all the time trying to impress Sasuke, Sasuke not caring about anyone and Naruto babbling about how our sensei was the only one who was late, so late that we were the last ones there waiting for the him.

Kakashi arrives, the eraser trap on Naruto's door works, Sakura is completely shocked, afraid that she has done something wrong and apologizes to Kakashi a thousand times, while Kakashi makes his first and only comment after a few moments.

"My first impression of you is that you're a bunch of idiots..."

...

"Sorry Sensei..." I spoke thoughtlessly, as if I was guilty of something.

"Hm... come on, come with me" Kakashi said.

On top of a building

"Alright... why don't you introduce yourselves... one by one..." Kakashi said.

We introduced ourselves, Kakashi didn't say anything about himself in particular, Sakura practically declared her love for Sasuke, Naruto declared his dream of becoming a Hokage and Sasuke also talked somewhat subjectively about his revenge on a certain someone... who was obviously to me… Itachi Uchiha.

From the moment I met Sasuke, I saw him as a poor boy who had been damaged by Hiruzen's bad decisions. In a way, aside from Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto's lives were almost miserable because of Hiruzen. I didn't see him as someone who was worthy of the position he held... that really annoyed me.

"What about you, Shin? Tell me about yourself..." Kakashi asked.

Shin hesitated for a moment, but then answered.

"Ah, my name is Shin, I like to train and feel stronger every day, I have a great passion for the ninja world and the art of the shinobi, which leads to my biggest dream to become the strongest Hokage of all times, I want to put an end to the instability of peace and I'll do anything for it!"

"Hm interesting, this boy is a surprise element for this team, even more so when it comes to a team that is under special supervision for the interests of the village, let's see why they put this boy on the team"

"WHAT? You won't be a Hokage, I WILL !" Naruto complained.

"Oh Naruto, you're too weak, do you really think you'll become Hokage?" Shin said trying to irritate Naruto.

"Hurrrgghh ! I will, I will, I will, I will" Naruto replied nervously.

After a few minutes of talking, Kakashi told them about his special training that no ninja had ever been approved before.

The next day, we would go through this same training.

After saying goodbye to Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke, I went straight to the training grounds to further improve my status.

Once again, I decided to practice speed without any judgment. I wanted to be able to match my Agility, Speed and Stamina status with my Strength status, so I decided to train these three concepts to the point of exhaustion.

So much so that when the sun went down and my physical body couldn't take any more training, I decided to use the rest of my chakra to do the last part of the day's training.

That day, I wanted to improve my new technique, the lightning bolt, which I could only use every 5 minutes.

Every 5 minutes or so, I managed to perform the jutsu a total of 37 times. It was extremely exhausting and made me realize that I wouldn't be able to repeat it anytime soon.
