Chapter 5- The First Or Should I Say Another Day

I started checking out My shop once more. Seeing skills that I could try and copy with my mana I messed around with that for a while and eventually created a spell Called Mana Hand, which well grabbed my target with a hand made out of mana.

#Mana Hand Lv.1/00- For grabbing them hard to get items that are above you in a house, or just plain grabbing an enemy to immobilize him, this spell covers that all. Grabs Items in size up to 500 ft^3. Leveling up of this skill can reduce the cost of each type of size differently, as well as increasing the durability of the hand. Current Str to break the spell is 5.

Small-50 ft^3- 100 Mana

Medium-250 ft^3- 300 Mana

Large-500 ft^3- 500 Mana

I had a couple of other skill successes, but I didn't care as much about them. I also started working on my quest as much as I could. I had already learned to perform 12 of the Justus, but when I looked at their levels after practicing with them none of them had reached even level 4 yet. I needed live combat to level my skills faster or actual experience where there needed.

Funnily enough I even relearned my Dish Washing skills. Looking at the screen I felt like punching the power in it's metaphorical face. Something that I hadn't felt in many years. I also finally succeeded in meditating.

-Meditation Lv.1/50- A skill that allows many beneficial effects to be done to the body. Examples are reduced mental exhaustion, better growth of Wis after meditation calculated by the time you spent meditating divided by two for the duration, and the effectiveness being calculated depending on the level of the skill multiplied by 10%. Other benefits include increased regeneration of the body's Hp, Mp, and Cp as well as the ability to unlock specific skills into learn able one's such as Sage Mode skills. Also this skill adds to the user's Mp, and Cp pools separately of your other stats.

The Opness of the skill guaranteed that I was focusing some of my precious time on this skill. After I was done exploring skills for now I decided to take a semi-break and look at the things in the item containing part of the shop. There I found buildings, vehicles, people, and other amazing things. Looking at the souls of my friends, my family, my wife I couldn't help but wish I had the cash to bring them out now and revive them. However for now, I knew I needed to grow in strength before I started one, bringing people into this dangerous world out of nowhere, and two actually start killing creatures within the newest discovered function of my system. Dungeon Running. Turn's out the dungeons were no longer considered a skill, and were now a permanent part of my power as long as the gamer's Truth held up.

Now there was just one last thing on my schedule before I went to the Academy. I had to clean this house, and I knew I was NOT going to enjoy this.

Getting up from my cleaning session I started walking out the door heading towards the Academy. To tell the truth I wondered if I should be a ninja, however I didn't really want to be one. I supposed in this world it might not be to bad of a thing, I mean even my memories of this life said it was a good thing and that death wasn't always part of a mission; it was the stigma however associated with the name I couldn't suppress. To be fair though, in a village that screamed pro war or at least it's OK to kill your enemies especially those from other villages, it was obvious that being a shinobi had to be an over glorified job. Looking underneath the underneath you couldn't see another point to this besides the job being some over glorified proposition allowing the killing of someone. (Yes, that is a Naruto world pun. Enjoy that small little treat.)

As I kept heading towards the Academy I started comparing the differences I noticed between mana, and chakra. Mana I noticed is extremely versatile. Chakra however seemed to follow a stricter pattern in it's usage. On the plus side this meant my enemies had less versatility than me on the down side, well I noticed all chakra based attacks were stronger on average compared to mana.
