Chapter 022

I walked out of the library that day with three books from the civilian library and two jutsu scrolls from the genin library. Pretty sweet if I do say so myself.

Ping!

Quest completed!

Steal a jutsu!

Reward:

+2 skill scroll for each jutsu stolen!

Total reward: +2 skill scroll (2)!

There was puff of smoke and suddenly two small scrolls appeared before me floating in mid air. I immediately caught them before they fell down and looked around. Luckily no one had seen that. I ran into an alley way and opened my inventory tossing the skill scrolls and my books into it. I'll sort this out later.

I did however take a look at the two scrolls I managed to steal. The first was a jutsu I knew I would one day learn from the academy itself, the henge jutsu. Transformation huh? Hm, I can make that work, it was only an E rank jutsu but what the hell, beggars can't be choosers.

The second however was a D rank jutsu, a genjutsu. Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing jutsu. Bad ass, if I do say so myself. I didn't have the time to read the details, but I sure as hell will tonight.

The day went as normal, breakfast, eavesdropping, wash dishes, listen to lectures, physical training, play with Naruto for a while, who's REP score finally increased to 38, and then back to the orphanage, eat, eavesdrop, wash dishes;

Ping!

A skill has leveled up!

Maintenance, Lv- 9 (2%)

Maintaining something is just as important as owning it.

+8% bonus to all items you maintain (clean, polish oil) for whatever their use is

Bonus lasts for 40 minutes

And then go to my room. I sat in my bed and watched the orphanage gate closing. But that didn't matter, I had other things on my mind.

I took out the two scrolls I had stolen, the option to quick learn them came up immediately and I pressed yes, this way there would be no evidence for my crimes, plus I would learn them both instantly.

Or so I thought.

Ping!

You don't meet the requirements to learn Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing jutsu

Required CC: above 20

Present CC: 15

I clicked my teeth, so not fucking fair. It did make sense though, if being above 20 is how much a genin needs to be than a genin jutsu like these needs that much chakra control.

I was upset, but on the other hand I did learn the henge pretty easily:

Ping!

You have learnt a jutsu!

Transformation Jutsu, E rank

The ability to appear like another person.

CP required: 10 per use

-5% chance of being found out for each level your opponent is higher than you.

Again, this had the same drawbacks as stealth, I really need to level up! Also what's with this CP requirement?! I can't use this thing! I only had a CONTROL rate of 20% even if I poured all my chakra into it, that is 25 CP, I can still only properly use 5 CP!

This shit is so fucking messed up! I can't even do a henge?! ARGHHH! People like Naruto with obscene amounts of chakra have all the luck!

Ping!

Quest completed!

Train for a dungeon!

Learn one jutsu (1/1)

Have a weapon (1/1)

Learnt how to fight

Rewards:

D rank armour!

50 EXP

There was a sudden poof of smoke as a pair of arm gaurd dropped into my lap before me. I was surprised I didn't realise my powers could also provide items for me!

I quickly observed them;

Forearm bands, D rank

Made out of metal and leather there forearm bands can protect you from the most basic of attacks.

Durability- 20/20

I knew they were much, considering I could actually use a kunai to cut them apart, but they were all I had and I cherished them. I could use my maintenance skill to get a bonus for my defence, and maybe, hm I have a fighting style but I never really used it, maybe I should.

I noticed that unlike a skill a jutsu didn't seem to be able to level up, I'm guessing that's because it can't be improved upon...hm, unless whether it's improved into is classified as a new jutsu all together.

Hm, food for thought.

I opened my menu again and realised something, I had stat points! 5 to be exact! If I wanted, I could raise my CC into 20 and learn that genjutsu, but then again I'm not sure that would be good use of my points.

I also had a +10 skill scroll and two +2 skill scrolls, both of which I could use for any one of my skills. Hm, maybe I should use one of the +2 scrolls on my taijutsu style? Just so that it can actually be used in combat?

I decided that would be a smart move and did just that. I took out one +2 skill scroll and opened it up. Suddenly a box appeared before me;

Select the skill whose level you wish to raise:

I looked at my skill list and without a second thought selected my Disturbance style.

Ping!

Your skill went up by two levels!

Disturbance style, Lv- 3 (0%)

Akin to a warrior's dance performance, a user of this style is able to rapidly and relentlessly bombard their target with precision, at various angles and locations. This style, comprised of sheer unpredictable movements, can easily catch his opponents off-guard.

DMG- +6 + STR + DEX

Speed- 11% faster

Not bad. I saved the other scrolls for later, never know when I would need them.
