Chapter 15

Heading back outside, Kazuo walked directly to the training grounds once more.

As he had sat still whilst in the commander's tent and hadn't done anything, his chakra had already recovered and he was ready for another training session for his tree walking.

'I'll try to get it to level six by the end of today and then give the water bullet jutsu another try, im very close to being able to actually use the jutsu, I just need to try it a few more times. This way even if I die which hopefully isn't the case then I could get another day of training to bring tree walking to level seven and at that point, my chakra control should be good enough that I can do the water bullet jutsu.' Kazuo thought to himself as he arrived at the secluded area once more and started his training of running and jumping around on the trees.

He had even increased the level to standing simply on one leg so that it would be harder and require more chakra control.

Hours passed and midnight was fast approaching, thankfully Kazuo hadn't been bothered by anyone today.

Being under Shikarus wing seemed to actually give a pretty great boon in the fact that he didnt have to go out on patrol missions or on guard duty.

Checking his status menu one last time, Kazuo saw what he had tried so hard to achieve throughout the entire day.

[ Tree Walking ] [ 6/10 ]

Seeing the increased level confirmed the fact that he had indeed improved by doing his training.

It was extremely rewarding to actually see the fruits of your labour, and Kazuo considered it a major benefit of the system, even though it didnt increase his capabilites and only showed him what his skill level was, it also gave him a way to motivate himself and push through whilst others treaded in the dark, not exactly knowing if they had improved or now.

'Time to test that water bullet jutsu once again, this time im more familiar with it considering i almost managed it before dying twice before and my chakra control should be better thought not by a large degree, it should still have an effect on the outcome.' Kazuo thought before taking a deep breath and releasing it slowly.

Looking at the tree stump before him which he had picked as his target, Kauzos eyes sharpened before he started making handsigns quickly.

'Tiger - Ox - Tiger - Rat' Kazuo quickly finished the combination, transforming the chakra that he had gathered at the back of his mouth and changing it into water release.

Then a slipt second later Kazuo opened his mouth and a water ball or bullet shot straight out of his mouth at high speeds, directly to the tree trunk he had aimed at.

*Bang*

The water bullet exploded as it hit the treetrunk, the sound of splashing water and cracking wood interjecting with eachother.

A second later, Kazuo walked to his target and looked at the damage he had managed to do.

The entire tree trunk had been cracked and split apart with a large ball-shaped hole at the point of impact.

'If i human is hit by that then thats definetly causing quite a bit of damage if not straight up death' Kazuo thought with a large smile before he heard a bell like notification sound in his head.

[ Ding! ]

[ Water Style: Enhanced Water Bullet ] [ 4/10 ]

Confusion quickly found its way into Kazuo's mind as he stared at the new jutsu he had earned.

'Enhanced water bullet? When did I do that?' Kazuo thought before he started thinking back to the entire process of learning the jutsu.

'The only thing that could have caused this is me not inferring correctly what some of the words in the jutsu scroll meant' Kazuo thought before he quickly went back to his tent to look at the scroll once more.

He wasn't planning on doing any more training for the day either way.

Once inside his tent, Kazuo quickly sat on his bed and took the scroll in his hands, reading it over again.

When he arrived at the kanji words that he didn't know the exact meaning of, Kazuo decided on a plan of action.

'I'll write these down and go ask other people to see if they know the correct meaning' Kazuo thought before nodding his head and taking the notebook that he had with him and starting to copy the Kanji down onto a page.

Once done, Kazuo placed the notebook down and headed to sleep.

He needed to be in his best condition for tomorrow otherwise death would be a highly likely possibility.

And so after a few minutes Kazuo managed to lull himself to sleep, doing so until the beginning hours of the morning and waking up just before the first rays of the morning sun hit the ground, just like he had yesterday.

Getting up, Kazuo started performing some stretches in the morning which he remembered from the past memories of his current body.

They were taught in the ninja academy and were something most if not all the leaf shinobi used so that they could warm their bodies up and make them ready for combat.

After about twenty minutes, Kazuo was done and headed outside, his first task of the day was to see what the kanji he hadn't understood had actually meant.

'When i get back to konoha, ill need to buy books about this, Kanji are super important in this world as they are used for sealing jutsu aswell' Kazuo thought before turning his head left and right and spotting a shinobi a few meters away from him.

Walking up to the man, Kazuo quickly asked for his help.

"Of course, If i can then I'll help you out" The shinobi said, his eyes were practiclly shining as he looked at Kauzo who had turned into an overnight celebrity inside the camp.

"Right, could you tell me about this Kanji and its meaning?" Kazuo said, nodding his head before showing the page in the notebook.

The ninja made a thinking face for a moment before answering.

"I think thats the kanji for stomach? Thats just the most common meaning however and it could have other more obscure meanings aswell" The shinobi asnwered causing Kazuo to give him a nod and a small thanks before heading away.

'I was supposed to knead the chakra in my damned stomach not in my mouth, god damned it'
