Chapter 3: Speculation

Fire release jutsu are the specialty of Konohagakure which is why I'd like access to oil jutsu. Although it would take more chakra to use combination jutsu the effect far surpasses single chakra nature jutsu.

Especially for me, I have a chakra pool larger than most genin at the young age of 9. I've only learned two jutsu yet I have the chakra of the average chunin, what will happen when I can learn the shadow clone jutsu and grind exp at twice the speed?

I'm afraid I'll wake up the next day as a new recruit of root if that happens. Chakra consumption won't be a problem for me in the future and it's definitely not a problem for me now.

The third shinobi world war is still a few years away so I'm not in any precarious situation where everyone bit of chakra is important. The best use of my chakra is grinding experience for jutsu, not storing it in case I need to fight.

Given that's the case I want to use these next few years putting together a strong fighting style that's effective and powerful. Learning fire release jutsu is one of the top priorities if I really do summon myself to Mount Myoboku.

Another priority is learning more wind release jutsu. Since my father had this scroll he probably had wind release as his natural affinity. I most likely inherited his chakra nature like Naruto did from Minato.

I do know the method to chakra transformation as its one of the things taught in the academy so training my wind release affinity is a long term goal.

The problem with this is that I don't know whether training my wind affinity even matters. I didn't do any type of chakra control training before using a C-Rank jutsu so will it be the same for nature transformation?

In fact, I didn't even know how to mold my chakra when I first used that jutsu. It was only after spending a few weeks in the academy that I learned to control my chakra.

Does the system ignore all types of training like chakra control and nature transformation? Can I use jutsu that I have no affinity for? I might naturally have both fire and wind release but I might also be able to use any jutsu without limits due to the system...

I really don't know enough about the system, I'm afraid I can only record the strength of my wind affinity now and then go through a training period and record that result to compare the two.

Whether my wind release affinity increases or not will tell me more about how the system works. I'll also do a experiment with chakra control just to see if I also need to improve that.

I have 3 years until I graduate and become a shinobi, I might even have less time until the war starts. I must grow as much as possible in this short of a period.

Otherwise I won't ever find out who or what put me in this world, I won't ever discover the mechanics of the system, I won't ever find the truth of this fictional world turned into reality.

I'm not interested in Konohagakure or any of the other five nations. I don't care about the villains of this world, the Akatsuki, Obito, Madara, Zetsu or Kaguya. I don't give a shit about Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura or Kakashi.

I already know the plot of Naruto, why bother befriending the villains or heroes of this story? The only thing they are to me is entertainment, and that's all they ever will be.

Becoming the nanny to these people who are just the real physical versions of anime characters isn't appealing. I already know who they are, what their motives are, what their history is, and even what future they have.

Seeing Minato for the first time was shocking, not because of how amazed I was at his presence, but because he was lacking. He felt like an ordinary person and not the incredible, inspiring figure I imagined him to be.

Something is only intriguing when it is unknown and mysterious, removing the misty veil exposes something ordinary.

Minato was my awakening to that. He didn't feel like some type of being beyond the scope of normal humans. Instead he just felt like a normal kind person who was the opposite of a god or walking Christ analog.

Before I learned any type of jutsu I felt intense admiration to the shinobi of this village, even the ones at the bottom of the totem pole because of their miraculous powers.

But now I too have the same power they have and I've realized that it isn't special or unique. Teleporting through space suddenly didn't feel so impressive, blowing apart cities wasn't unimaginable anymore.

I can also learn and grow to do these things, why would I look up to this blond wannabe shonen protagonist. Sure, Minato is of great moral character but morality is something that I'm better off not having in a world of shinobi who are paid to kill people.

Seeing these incredibly popular characters from Naruto in the flesh is not only unimpressive it's downright disappointing. I've seen three legendary figures so far, Minato, Jirayia and Hiruzen and ever single encounter was the most anticlimactic experience.

I understand now why Naruto could cause trouble in Konohagakure without any fear of being caught. The people here are just that, people. No one radiates power or strength, in fact, most of the people I've seen use jutsu can't even make their chakra visible.

Is the peak of this world incredible? Yes, absolutely. Blowing apart moons and shattering planets is terrifying but regular shinobi and even kage? There is a huge gap between me and them, but I can still see the width of the gap.

I know I can close the gap given enough time, I just need to put in the effort.

The first step is summoning myself to one of the three sage places and from then on my progress will skyrocket.
