Shop (Part 1)

Yes! Finally!

This is the first time that the shop has opened since I found out about the system. I hope that the selection of techniques has increased even by a little.

Leaving the area, I found a somewhat private corner and sat down. Let's have a look... 'Shop.'

(AN: Don't confuse the Clone technique with Naruto's Shadow-Clone technique.)

Well, that's not a big selection of techniques now, is it? I hope that this is not it... 'Show me the D-rank section.'

(AN: The System is only showing the basic techniques that have no requirements in terms of affinities, with the exception of the wind release one. This one is only available because Gaara has a primary wind affinity. Other techniques will appear in the future as Gaara learns to use different elements NOT GAINING THE AFFINITY FOR THEM, and their price will vary with the level of mastery Gaara has over said element.)

Okay, now we're talking. Just in case, I checked the other sections but found nothing as a result. Well, this is already better than nothing.

Now, I have to use my points wisely. I don't know how often quests will come, or when will be the next time that I level up. Points are a precious commodity here

My main weaknesses right now are Taijutsu and Shukaku's seal. I know that the shop doesn't show any taijutsu techniques for D-rank.

As for C-rank Taijutsu... I'm guessing that I need to be at a specific level to be able to access these abilities. Now I really regret not training my body.

Seal-wise... There's no way I can even start fixing it. Basic sealing is minimum C-rank.

Well, after thinking for a good while... I decided to go with Wind Release: Breakthrough Technique.

Here's the system's description:

[ Wind Release: Breakthrough Technique (D-Rank)

The user breathes wind from their mouth, blowing away whatever is in front of them. The technique itself is quite simple, and its power has a limit.

This is the parent Jutsu and a weaker version of Wind Release: Major Breakthrough.]

(AN: For those who don't know, D-Rank is Genin level, C-Rank is Chunin and so on. E rank is for academy students.)

Well, there you have it. Although it comes at a costly fifteen points, I think it's worth the money.

The E-Ranks can probably be found in the library... As for the D-Ranks, The body-flicker is useful... But I don't think I'd be very fast with my current physical condition.

The rest are just plain useless. I don't really need Genjutsu yet, and I can practice shuriken throwing on my own. Meanwhile, this technique will allow me to practice my wind-style... Allowing me to do my own stuff with it.

Gaara used to use wind as a speed booster for his sand in the original series. I think I can do that with enough practice.

Also, he used the major breakthrough technique against Naruto to propel sand bullets towards him at a higher speed.

Wind and sand are a deadly combo, that's for sure... And I'm about to capitalize on it. With that, I successfully made the purchase.

[Thank you for shopping with the System. The shop will now close, only to be reopened when the user levels up once more.

The Manual for the desired technique has been placed in the System's memory function. Please take a look.]

Smiling, I searched through the database and found the manual. It's time to do some training.
