Chapter 11: Buying the Sword and New Skills
I spent a whole week in the hospital. I discovered that my condition was very serious. How could it be so simple? First, it seemed that I had overexerted my body.
This was only possible because of my lack of understanding of the power that people in the ninja world possessed.
In addition, I was always talking to the nurses who came to see me. This was helpful because they helped me understand my current condition.
I got up from my seat after getting dressed, ready to leave. "You're leaving, aren't you, boy? You have to take care of yourself." It was the lady who had been taking care of me who spoke.
She was a nurse. She was very kind and caring. I smiled at her and said, "Thank you. Of course I'll take care of myself."
Before I left the place, I went directly to the hospital reception center and signed some papers related to my discharge from the hospital.
"Okay, you can go now and take care of yourself." The hospital was helpful and I found it completely different from what I had imagined about staying there for a week.
(Host: You have fully recovered. Please complete the quests to obtain the new abilities.)
The system finally told me after I left the hospital gate, that I hadn't thought about training right after leaving, but I figured it was the best thing I could do.
I had no friends, I said in a low voice.
It's not a shame for me, but I found it very bad, especially since I didn't meet Bijay, who should have been the one who brought me to this hospital.
I arrived at the training ground. Some people probably wouldn't have gone there if they had any objections, after I'd been in the hospital for over a week with a strain and torn muscle.
It should be clear to me that I have truly reached the height of prejudice that I can reach.
"The host found himself ready to begin secondary tasks," the system said in a mysterious voice. I noticed that it was becoming more and more annoying. It didn't talk to me, but it was constantly giving me signals about my health or new tasks.
(The task is to run 80 km and perform 1000 squats and sit-ups)
I was crazy when I thought that it wasn't easy to accomplish these tasks especially at this time when I'm in my natural body and haven't trained in just weeks.
I realize now that I was too excited.
To the health of the training and started running slowly I wanted to regain my energy I found that running always made me forget everything else and focus on the air hitting his face and made me cooler and fresher
I hope I can keep going like this, I said as I ran.
(The user has reached the appropriate physical condition, a new skill will be issued)
What is the new skill while running I heard the sound of the system
(Activate new skill, enhance chakra)
What is this skill or rather I was able to understand this skill and I felt and the blood in my body was more alive than ever and I was able to run more
What was happening? I wanted to stop, but I was afraid the feeling would go away. I continued racing around the track for ten laps. I was more excited than ever, and a smile never left my face. Maybe being in the ninja world wasn't such a bad thing.
I thought I should stop, but my body wouldn't. This new feeling was still foreign to me. It felt like the chakra was circulating perfectly around my body, endlessly, giving me the strength to keep running.
From afar, from the top of the tree, Jay was watching the running boy. "Interesting, he really is an interesting boy." It wasn't unusual for Jay to be watching the young man who caught his attention, especially since he noticed that instead of going home, he went to training camp.
He seemed to wish he could get stronger. It wasn't uncommon for most kids his age to wish they could get stronger. Even Jay himself had wished he could get stronger when he was the age of the young man in front of him.
The scene for Suzuki
Suzuki felt the chakra energy in his body diminish. He came to a single conclusion: Why did this feeling seem to fade with every passing second?
(Warning: Chakra levels are low. I've already used 80% of them.) I was confident. I thought, I don't have any other hypothesis. I still have poor chakra control. I've been focusing too much on physical skills, concentrating on using the Control skill to increase physical strength.
I finally stopped and lay on the floor. My breathing was ragged. I felt my hot breath forcefully coming out of my mouth.
"...I was stupid, I should have thought of that..." I said. Now I understood why ninja could run such long distances. Suzuki ran for three hours before he collapsed.
But it was different. He felt as if his body was able to run more. It seemed that this added skill from the system had helped him greatly.
(The host reached an important conclusion, and was rewarded with a system that increased his chakra control by 20%.)
The system said and the status interface appeared
(Name: Kazuki Suzuki)
(Strength: 1.5 stars)--(Stronger than ordinary people)
(Note: You are weaker than the elite fetus)
(Speed: 2 stars)
(Note: You are close to elite fetal speed)
(Endurance: 2.5 stars)
(Note: You are at the same level as the elite fetus)
Skills: (Chakra Control) (Chakra Enhancement) (Chakra Manipulation)
(Skill Level: Basic)
As expected, these new skills were added after four weeks of training.
It seems I now understand the meaning of the stars. As I expected, these stars are proof of my talent. Since two stars can be genin, that means three stars can be chunin.
Suzuki concluded that this wasn't a bad ending for him, but rather a good beginning. It's true that his talent is weak, and the world may seem completely different to him than the anime world, and he still has a long way to go before he gets used to it.
Ali had to leave. He got up from his seat and walked straight out of the training grounds into the village. The ninja training centers were very close to the village center, yet far from the civilians.
Of course, no one wants to get hit by a fireball, Suzuki thought sarcastically as he thought of the Uchiha.
Is he leaving from far away? Ray Jay saw the young man and left. He put his hand to his chin. "Very good. I expected him to do something stupid again, but he didn't."
In fact, Jay wanted to talk to the young man, but he couldn't find a way to get close to him. Contrary to what people thought, he wasn't stupid. He knew that if he talked to the young man the way he usually did, he might make him think he was just an idiot. It's true that Jay didn't usually care about such things, but he found himself interested in this young man.
The determination that drove him to train made Jay feel like he was looking at a version of himself, and that he was capable of improving himself these days. He headed straight to the village intelligence center and searched for the file of the young man he was interested in.
Jay smiled when he remembered that file.
Name: Kazuki Suzuki: An orphan whose parents died in the Nine-Tails Incident. An ordinary civilian with no family or special lineage. He currently trains at the Shinobi Academy located in the heart of the village.
The information was scarce but it was very useful to Jay at this time as he focused on how he would think about dealing with the young man he was interested in named Suzuki.
Suzuki is on his way to the village hardware store. Initially, Suzuki won't have the ability to use his ninjutsu to transform and switch. He's charged it up to 90%, but he doesn't find these skills sufficient. Cloning is still absolutely necessary, and he needs to increase the power of his combat skills.
The weapon shop was where he had purchased the chakra paper. The shopkeeper was there, smiling as he watched the young man enter his shop after the bell rang.
"Hi, I'm glad you're back. What did you get?"
Suzuki smiled. It was so nice talking to people, especially since he was focused on training these days.
"I got water and lightning." The shopkeeper was undoubtedly a ninja. Anyone who sold ninja equipment had to have an understanding of how ninjas worked, so Suzuki didn't hide it from the shopkeeper because he wanted to benefit from his expertise.
First, Suzuki was inexperienced in using weapons and found his fighting talent lacking. First, he had no memory. Second, he couldn't constantly ask Master Jiro for help. Master Jiro helped him a lot during that time. Not wanting to cause him any more trouble, he decided to consult the shopkeeper. Eventually, Suzuki realized he was definitely a ninja.
"That's great, that means you're very talented," the shopkeeper hides his excitement as he says these things.
"It's not as important as you think, sir." I tried to sound embarrassed by his words, but I knew he was telling the truth. After all, few people possess the dual chakra nature, and that was proof that they would be very talented in the future. The problem was, though, that was in the future, and that didn't please Suzuki at that moment.
The shopkeeper saw the smile on the young man's face, so he smiled and said, "You're here for something important. Tell me what you need." He asked very clearly. Suzuki was very pleased with the shopkeeper's question.
Sir, I'm looking for a suitable weapon. Honestly, I don't know what would suit me. I need it because I'm weak in close combat.
At that time, Suzuki realized the need to find a fighting method different from direct hand-to-hand combat. First, he had no knowledge of that type of fighting. Second, he discovered that carrying a weapon enabled humans to defeat even the largest animals.
A superficial but realistic view at this moment and Suzuki didn't have any other thoughts in the end he wasn't that genius he was just an ordinary person before he moved into this world
The shopkeeper put his hand to his chin in thought. Then he quickly smiled and said to Suzuki, "Sure, there are a few things I can give you." He left the place and entered the store. Suzuki heard the sounds of sharp metal clashing.
What would bring this idea was in Suzuki's mind but he was smiling waiting for what the shopkeeper would offer next then he went out with the sword
There you are, still in the academy, right? This sword might be very useful to you. The sword the shopkeeper brought out wasn't an iron sword, but a very elegant wooden sword, with a yellow edge and a green handle, 0.70 cm long. It looked beautiful, but Suzuki frowned.
Sir, why not an iron sword? The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young man, you should know that you are still in the academy. You cannot use edged weapons. Furthermore, edged weapons are very expensive."
Then he pointed to the sword in his hand, "This sword is made of the strongest wood, and is very distinctive with its serrated edge. It is something useful for you in training, and it is also lightweight, which will further help you master martial arts. With it, I believe you might be good at using a sword. You have a good body."
Suzuki thought about the man's words and realized they were true. After all, Suzuki hadn't been able to afford a sword at the time. He was in financial trouble and couldn't find a way to buy one at that moment.
I agree, I'll buy it, I said finally.
"Pleasure doing business with you, boy," said the shopkeeper.
Before you left, you didn't tell me your name, son. My name is Tian. You can always come and buy weapons from my shop when you grow up. Tian's smile was strong and filled with passion for weapons as he pointed at his weapons.

I hope this chapter is really nice. I'm trying to write chapters in a more consistent style. Honestly, I find I'm not giving you all the credit you deserve. So, if you have any...
If you have the opportunity to help me, please let me know.
Also, what do you think about me complaining about the new commenting system? Don't you agree that the old commenting system was better?
