Who is the old man????

The man replied with an agitated voice to me, "What?? I am just 51 this year, kid. Which part of me looks old? To which I replied, " the bright aura that shines around u, gives a vibe of ancientness". Sakumo laugh, "kid, u sure know how to praise". Sakumo thought, " this kid was using the ancient phrase to make me sound like old as civilization. In other words, praising me. The kid must be a fan of mine. Ahh, my aura. It shines brightly that radiates light itself. I want to lay low. But the world doesn't let me. Such is my destiny. " (shameless)

At the same, Satoru was thinking, "yeah u heard it right. It's Sakumo Hatake, the white fang. Or the sword saint of Konoha. He was supposed to commit suicide in naruto. What happened, am I really in a new naruto world?? Or maybe a cycle of chain reaction due to me being born. I don't know. (butterfly effect)

Suddenly I heard Sakumo say to me, " kid u r good. What's your name? " obviously I replied, " Satoru Gojo, old man". Sakumo thought, " Satoru was referring to him as an old man due to his ancient vibe." Who knew Satoru was meaning it as sarcasm. After that, Sakumo asked some questions. Then we really didn't talk much. I finished my bowl of ramen. Then I went outside after paying the money. As I was leaving, Sakumo said to me, " hey kid we shall meet again if fate allows". I just nodded and went away.

After roaming around a while. I found a quiet place. Then I started thinking about today's event. Why did I get so frustrated? Why couldn't I keep my patience there. A very absurd thought enter my mind. The pseudo inner mind influences my emotion. That should be it. Or else I Satoru Gojo couldn't obviously get agitated. After calming my thought. I became lively again. I happily went in the direction of my home.

I wasted about 2 and a half hours outside. Adding that up, I cannot perform the basic exercise today. Let me just continue with the refining part.

[General POV]

A young boy seemed to be sighing every 5mins or so. Although he didn't seem depressed rather more determined, every time he sighed. Of course, it was Satoru. He skipped the rest of the exercise today. Just went with the refining part. But he started refining. He as usual made a 0.1 cm string. He then used energy to connect it with the base and it successfully connected, then he went to connect with the rest of the increments. Strange enough it connected easily with 20 mins. It used to take 7 hours. Why did it become 20min all of a sudden? He felt something was wrong. After the string was connected, the rest of the energy could increase the string by 0.1cm making the string 16.1 cm long. He saw the string was stable, he huffed a sigh by seeing that. But suddenly the connection of the 0.1 cm string started to break one by one. The 7th increment connection broke. Then 6th, then 5th, then 4th, and so on. lastly, the Connection with the base was also broken

The string reverted back to 16cm. Satoru was kind of shocked about what happened. What did he do wrong? He tried 5 more times. Taking a total of about 2 hours after he started refining. He had got stuck on a barrier. He was clueless about what to do next.

[General POV]

Satoru went back to read the refining technique book. It started with the history of how refining was introduced. Then it there was the section of the human body and which path the refining energy revolves. There was a section named Dantain

Dantain is kind of a 4D dimensional storage. It was located in the lower belly. Its size depended on the cultivation realm. This dantain is found in everyone. Either ninja, samurai, or normal people.

It starts with an average of 300 cm^3 space. Rest it increases with the cultivation realm. While ninja or samurai's dantain increases but in normal people, it doesn't even activate.

Next up is a string. A string remains floating like a spring ball. But whenever our consciousness is put into it. It gets straight like a ruler/scale. And the endpoint increases through the connection.

He turned to the next page and saw the word, The second string. He felt like a huge thunder in his brain. He excitedly started laughing, "The second string. It is what I should make."

[MC POV]

"Sigh, What should I do now. I m stuck. Sigh, hmm, Let me read the refining book again. I turned pages after pages. I read the dantain section, the first string section then my eyes fell on to the second string section.

I felt thunder in my brain. I felt like a fool. I thought, "yes yes, maybe my 1st string has reached the maximum length. I cannot make it increase no matter what I do. Let me just make a second string."

[General POV]

He quickly started by trying to make another 4 cm base. The energy absorbed was refined then he put his consciousness into creating the new string while the 1st string was floating like a spring round ball-shaped.

As he tried nothing happened. He couldn't make 0.1 cm string, forget about 4cm string. He was really in a predicament. To go to the next stage he needed guidance. He needed to read some books about refining technique experience. At that time it was 3:00 pm. He needed to go to the book division market. He thought he should give up for now considering he went outside today.

He took pen, ink, and paper. He started doing calligraphy. He used to do calligraphy a lot on earth. It helped him ease his mind from any distraction. He continued writing and went with the flow of the pen. It looked like a continuous flow of water. He forgot the sense of time and indulged in calligraphy. 1 hour later he finished his calligraphy drawing. The drawing was looking quite imposing. Unknown to him. He unconsciously added mental energy with the flow to get such a result. To add mental energy into the drawing is one of the conditions of Fuinjutsu(sealing Jutsu). Though he did it unconsciously, with enough practice he should be able to do it consciously. Nonetheless, he didn't know about it. (After he enters school, then he will learn fuinjutsu. Wait till then )

The rest of the day went as usual. The night session of memorizing the medicine book didn't trigger any effect of the inner world. He made his mind to explore the book division shop tomorrow to get any refining technique experience book.

Just like that the 13th day after his reincarnation came to an end.
