'Vitality and Chakra went up? Iris, do you know why it went up?'

<Yes, it's because after training for a week, it would increase your body, and increasing your Chakra volume.>

After Iris explained about the increase of Vitality and Chakra, I began to travel towards the training grounds to train with Hayate. When I arrived, I only saw Hayate in the middle it seemed that he was waiting for me.

Hayate:* Cough* "Alright, try to use the [Shadow clone jutsu] I showed you yesterday."

Nodding my head, I moved my hands to the handset and used Chakra to activate it.

[New skill]

[ Shadow Clone Jutsu] [Level 1 ]

[ +1 Shadow clone]

A shadow clone was supposed to take half of my Chakra, but with [Chakra Control], it reduces it by 150%, so instead of 2,800Cpfor one shadow Clone , it takes 1,866Cp

A shadow clone was summoned beside me with an extra bokken as well. Hayate got in his stance, and so did me, and the clones did as well. Deciding to attack first, I went left, and the Shadow clone went right. Attacking first, I swinger at his leg, which caused him to jump and parry the attack from the Shadow clone.

We were training like this for a few hours before my chakra was almost used up. It was the afternoon before Haytae decided to stop for today.

Hayate: *Cough* "We'll stop for today. You're improving at a fast rate it won't be a surprise that you'll * cough * be able to master [Sance of the Cresent Moon] in a few days."

Nodding as I lay on the ground, although I didn't reach Chakra exhaustion but I'm pretty much tired from attacking Hayate, and all he did was defend and point out my mistakes.

Hearing Hayates moving away, I sat up against a tree and began to use [Meditation] to recover my stamina and chakra. It takes 90 Cp/s to fill my Chakra again, so only a minute to refill my Chakra. 36 cp/s when activating [Meditation]. And [Chakra control] has a passive that allows me to recover 150% Chakra. Adds up to 90CP/s.

[ Shadow clone jutsu] [Level 1 -> 3]

[+3 Shadow clones]

Adding three more Shadow clones, i let the Shadow clones train and began to walk around the village. Walking around the vendors, I found a mask stand walking up to it. I used to [observe].

[Fox Mask] [Common]

[Description: A normal Mask]

I checked the other masks, but they seem to be common, and nothing special, I checked the other Vendors to see if there are any hidden special items. I stopped at another vendor and managed to find an item that was better than the others.

[ Fishing rod] [ uncommon]

[ 15% catching fishes]

[ 1% special item]

[Description: Used by an experienced old fisherman]

I knocked on the table to get the Vemdors' attention. and when I did, I pointed at the fishing rod.

Vendor:" Oh, you want the fishing rod?"

Nodding at him, I was still pointing at the item.

Vendor:" It's 350 ryo."

[ Ryo 25,000 -> 24, 650 ]

Giving him the ryo and taking the [Fishing rod] when he said something that interested me.

Vendor:" You know I used that fishing rod to try and catch a legendary fish. It was said to have magical properties that increase a person Chakra."

Looking at him, I knew that he wanted to say that now after buying the rod since it was cheap. He wants me to buy the map as well. Using my hands to know how much the information would cost.

Vendor:" Hoh? It seems you're quite smart for your age. It's 550 Ryo."

[ Ryo 24,650 -> 24,100]

'Damn, old geezer.' Even though I was cursing him, I still gave him the money, and before walking away, I was handed a map. Walking away, I put the map inside my shirt before putting it in my inventory.

With the [Fishimg rod] in hand, I walked to the river to fish, and if I'm lucky to find any special item. Finding a nice fishing spot with a rock to sit on, I dig through the dirt to find worms. Attaching the worms to the fishing hook, I swung the fishing rod to the water and waited.

[ New Skill]

[ Fishing] [ Level 1]

[ 1% catching a fish]

For a few minutes, I enjoyed the peace and the brushing wind breezing against me. I stared at the water, seeing it move calmly with no rush, adapting to move around the rocks. It's always changing, but still moving forward without hesitation.

<Sir you've caught a fish.>

[Affinity tree unlocked]

Pulling out of my thoughts, I hurriedly reeled in the fish. And when I caught the fish, I noticed it was small, meaning it still has time to grow bigger, throwing it into the river again. I threw my fishing rod again. Now, waiting, I decided to check the new tab.

'Iris, open the new tab.'

<Yes, sir>

[ Affinity Tree]

[ Water] [ Unlocked ]

[ Earth] [Locked ]

[ Wind] [ Locked ]

[ fire] [ Locked ]

[ Lightning ] [ Locked ]

[ Time] [ Locked]

[ Space ] [ Locked ]

[Yang] [ Locked ]

[ Yin] [ Locked ]

The [water Affinity] was the only one unlocked clicking on it. I checked it. Description.

[ Water Affinity ] [ Level 1]

[ +10 damage for water attacks]

[ Water stance] [ Level 1]

[ +10 Damage on water]

[ +10% speed movement on water]

This is good, but I don't have any jutsu on me at the moment. It seems that I need to have an understanding of the affinity to unlock it. also, there seems to be branches of them as well, which means I could unlock ice affinity as well.

[Mist]

[ Water + Fire]

[Blood]

[Water + earth]

[Ice]

[ water + air]

[storm]

[Water + air + Lightning]

There were others like this with different combinations with water. After checking the [Affinity tree], I started to go back into fishing. hours passed, and I caught 2 big fishes.

[Big fish] x2 [ uncommon]

[ Restores 26 Health points]

After fishing, I went back toward the training grounds where the Shadow clones were training. Arriving there, I dispelled them and went back toward the orphanage.

' I wonder where Yuriko and Hiroshi are?'

<I'm sure they're fine.>

'Yeah, I guess so.'

(Third Pov)

Hayate:" *Cough* Ah, I forgot to tell the kid that they were going on a date."

Back toward Yuto, he was eating dinner as the children around him were talking or eating with their friends. After dinner, Yuto began to go back towards his room and take a shower. Once done cleaning himself, he laid in bed thinking to himself.

' I should go Ichiraku Ramen tomorrow, I don't think I'll survive with the food here, although it seems better after I helped, but I can't help think of the aroma noodles.' And with that said, Yuto finally drifted to sleep.
