Chapter 4: Gains

Aunt Kiyomi I am just fine. I was just testing out a jutsu.

Well, you should be more careful next time.

He could see the worry in her eye, but then he remembered how awkward their relationship was (not that type).

Before he gained his memories, he was somewhat of a loner; he liked to be alone.

Brushing off any attempt at closure, which led to a distance and awkwardnessbetween each other.

At this time, he wondered how his past self did so.

Then the awkward silence descended on the atmosphere as she turned around.

I'll see you around, but then the thought hit him: I have to take the first step in fixing this.

Wait a moment. She abruptly stops.

Aunt Kiyomi, can I come over to your place for dinner?

At first, she thought she was talking to someone in Kein disguise, but she instantly dispelled such thoughts.

Really, well, sure, why not?

Ok, Aunt Kiyomi I will be around by 7 p.m.

Watching her silhouette walk in the distance, he couldn't help but admire her curvy body and begin to fantasize.

But he quickly slapped himself. What the hell is wrong with me? Well,  I just can't help it.

His thoughts were interrupted by a series of notifications.

°•Ding•°[Iron fist has completed run]

Finally, let's see what this baby can do.

He dashed to the training ground.

But he was shocked to see his body being strengthened by chakras automatically working together with chakra rotation, as if fusing even without the systems help.

.

And at this rate, he was producing more than was used.

"This really goes well with the chakra core." Now you could say that I am approaching the top 5 in the Genin rank.

Acknowledging this, his speed surged again, and he quickly arrived at the training grounds.

"Now let's see." By the time he arrived, the Taijutsu had completed another run, and by doing so, his body had become even stronger.

His body was now more defined despite his lean stature. Taijutsu can't just be learned; your body has to adapt.

Though it hasn't become obvious

Thus he began his imaginary battles, launching a kick toward that tree, which made it shake violently.

A few more hits, and the tree would be felled.

After a series of weaker strikes on the tree, he decided to head home because he doesn't need to train and he also needs to prepare for dinner.

Getting home, he changed into a new outfit.

He then headed out of the house and went ahead on the street since they lived in the clan's residence.

*Kiyomi*It looks like I got my hopes up for nothing, as she checked the time and saw that it was around 7:25.

But then her train of thoughts was

interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Coming," she said as she left the kitchen and went to get the door.

Opening the door, she was left stunned, looking at the person she was expecting.

Ohh Kein I didn't expect to see you at this time.

I am really sorry, but I got held up by something on the way here.

Well, no problem; come in and let's eat.

One week later, Since that day, he has often gone to her place and spent some time with her.

This further strengthened their relationship.

Also, he had not been assigned to any team, given the excuse that there were no slots left.

You said that was true

.

He already knew that it was a result of his past lack of talent and probably his background as a member of a small clan.

Nonetheless, it was still beneficial to him: "At least no one will find anything suspicious.

Well, according to the scrolls, he was given a C-rank jutsu as compensation.

|Fire release: fire ball jutsu|

When he was about to open and read 

°•Ding•°

[Skill detected]

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis complete]

[Skill info complete]

[Would you like to learn]

{Yes/No}

Wait, doesn't this mean I can copy any jutsu as long as I have complete information about it.

He then happily clicked yes.

°•Ding•°

[System cooldown activated]

[Major functions locked]

{24:00:00}

Sighs, "I knew this was too good to be true, but either way, it's better than nothing."

[Skill]

[Fire release: Fireball jutsu]

It looks like I need a change of wardrobe [slots].

He then proceeded to empty the slots and began to place them according to priority.

[First slot: iron fist technique]

[Second slot: iron fist technique]

{The more times it is placed, the faster it upgrades.}

[Third slot: Chakra rotation]

[Fourth slot: Chakra core]

[Fifth slot:Shuriken Jutsu]

[Sixth slot:Shuriken Jutsu]

[Seventh slot: body substitution]

[Eighth slot: body substitution]

[Ninth slot: Fireball Jutsu]

[Tenth slot: Fireball Jutsu]

Finally, I'm done.

Following this, about four weeks had passed, and he had achieved a lot.

Like spying on teams to assimilate their skills, he had learned multiple shadow clones, which the system modified for him.

And also other ones, like mind-transfer jutsu, which helped to strengthen his mind and help him generate a skill called genjutsu resistance.

He didn't know how it generated such.

Also, chakra rotation had been absorbed by the chakra core, which now increased the rate at which his chakra increased.

His Chakra reserve was now at the top of Chunin, but Chakra density-wise, it is at Jonin.

Kein was now looking at his system interface in the skill lists (not slots).

Grinning at his accumulation of skills.

[Skill list]

{Mind transfer}

{Genjutsu resistance}

{Multi shadow clone jutsu}

{Shadow possession jutsu}

{Great fireball jutsu}

{Advanced Chakra Core}

{Fireball jutsu}

{Iron fist technique}

{Shurikenjutsu}

{Body transformation}

{Body substitution}

{Shadow clone jutsu}...I need more than this, though this is flashy and all, but I need more.

Wait a minute, can't I just ask Aunt Kiyomi since she is a Jonin?

Well, it's not a bad idea. I guess I will do this tomorrow.
