Chapter 15: Rest Day

So they marked my shoulder with the tattoo, masking the seal beneath it, it hurt but oh well not too bad i guess, i hated tattoo's because of my orthodox believes, even if now i have some problem to keep up my orthodox way, i started to doubt the religion itself, i mean reincarnation was not and never was a subject in Christianity, there was only life, and heaven or hell, not some sort of reincarnation in an... fictional world?

I remember my first year of my reincarnation was... well doubtful, i saw everyone as fictional character, but the more i live here, the more i feel this urge to feel something for it's inhabitant, so little by little, my resolve as they are just fictional characters was shattered, my orthodox believes started to wave, i even started to reconsider if i could or should keep up with my chastity in case my hormones was too high to handle in the future.

Eventually, i came to a decision, well i will try to keep up chastity, it was not something that i debated a lot in this life, because i see sex as something too important to just see at it as just a way like another to feel pleasure and do hook ups for sex, for me it was a way to connect two souls, more than just pleasure or even love, maybe the influence of my religion, but i actually don't care because i myself agree with that, religion or not, as for the tattoo matter, i always hated it, religion or not, i did not want to have one, even if it looks cool, at least if i had one, it will be a way to remember a moment of the most important moment in my life, well i did in my past life, and in my whole body was only one tattoo as a 'oath' to prove my vow of brotherhood in my unit, while i do not remember most of my past life, i remember some pieces like the tattoo matter, it was i think the most important memory in my past life.(PS: i my self am a religious men, so typing this felt like... A heresy, but oh well everything for a lil bit of realism)

So i got out of the agency, after some questioning, and some paper filling matter, i got to my team before actually going home to celebrate.

And honestly after nearly a month without my family, i felt a bit lonely, especially without the daily hug from my мама, i may be an adult, but even your pride can't stop the urge to huge your мама.

I arrived at the center, i got in Kuma's room, to get the result of the bet we've done, but i didn't find him, so i guessed they were in the training ground or something, but before that, i got into my room to get all my belongings.

While i took all my clothes, i spotted about 4 scrolls in the table, 2 of them was written with a 'Katon' black kanji and a red background, and 2 other beside them.

I smiled 'Well at least he's not a coward huh.'

I took the two katon, and opened them, i recognized one of them as the Goukakyuu no jutsu, 'well boring, i already learned it.' it was the jutsu that i learned from my brother and as my first perfected jutsu.

But i took the scroll nonetheless, i then looked at the second Katon jutsu, opened it, and the first word was 'Hosenka No Jutsu'. The description of this jutsu is that it make you spit bullets of fire with low chakra consumption, thus considering it as a C-rank Jutsu, well useful and versatile.

Now the Doton jutsu, the 'Retsudo Tenshō' jutsu, well this technique allows the ninja to control nearby rocks and stones that surround the enemy to spiral inwards on itself, burying them alive or crushing them, a horrifying experience honestly.

And finally the Suiton Jutsu, 'Suiton: Mizu Bunshin', well it's a clone jutsu, the most useful of the jutsu's received, and honestly i am pretty happy with it.

Happy with the loots, as well as the fact that i do not have to see my team before going home, i got out of my room, then walked until i got out of the center.

5 Minutes of walk later, i got in front of my house, finally, so i approached, and the moment i got close to knock, i saw my mother open abruptly the house and hugged me.

"I missed you so much!" i felt my self being pulled out of the floor, i didn't resist, or whine, because i simply didn't mind, "let's get inside, i want to know everything about your journey at the center," with her usual joyful attitude, i missed it honestly, "you are supposed to take more than mere 3 weeks, like at least 6 months before continuing your training!"

And there we go, explaining to here what happen, and all that was honestly exhausting, well it took a good hour to explain everything to her, and i was really tired because of the newly seal i was placed upon. But i don't really know if i can speak about it with her, so i didn't include the tattoo and the seal matter, after all she must know what happen when you turn Tier 2.

And now, there i was, sitting in my bedroom, pondering if i really need this nap, after all i wasn't that drained, was I?

I remembered those time where i thought the same thing, and found my self regretting i didn't take a nape those days when i played CS:GO, ah good times.

I took a nape, for about 2 hour, then got out of my bed, i guess the excitement to try out my new jutsu was too high to get more sleep. And so here i was, in the area near the compound where was a small lake, at 5PM, trying my Suiton jutsu, because honestly is was more useful than the other jutsu i got from the bet, after all, the versatility of a clone is unlimited, even i had stars in the eyes looking at the scroll when i was in the center for the first time, after all, who didn't dream about having a clone?

It was hard, harder than the Fire ball my brother trained me in, at least i had it easy in the first day, making a decent fire ball in first 10 tries. But now, i tried at least 20 times, and with no prevail.

Sometimes, there would be movement, then a column of water rising, but eventually turning back to the lack. I didn't understand, why was it that easy with the Katon jutsu, but that hard with the Suiton one?

So i decided to call it, and ask my brother later when he got back to the house, or even my father, well if he got back early.

When i arrived at home, i showered, because i was drenched in sweat, then made the effort to help mother.

Today was honestly a good day, i got to talk more with mother, help her in stuff, and taught me some harder way of medic-nin's to train their chakra control.

Honestly, what could possibly go wrong?
