'That's enough physical training for today…' He thought: 'After lunch, I'll see how much INT and WIS I can gain by reading.'
With that in mind, he returned home.
While running, he thought: 'I wonder how much time I have until I'm sent on a new mission…'
══════
"I'm back." Tanaka announced upon arrival.
"Ara, Tanaka-kun, you arrived just in time~" Akane's voice echoed from the kitchen area as she peeked at him through the door: "Go wash your hands and call Kushina for me, please?"
"Yes." Tanaka replied with a smile.
Tapping his foot on the floor twice, he entered.
On the second floor, he knocked on Kushina's door: "Kushina-chan, your mother is calling you to eat."
"I'm coming!" Kushina's sweet, childlike voice echoed instantly.
Soon, she opened the door: "Oniichan, shall we go?"
Holding her little hand, they went downstairs.
Downstairs, the table was already set.
"It looks delicious~" Kushina let go of Tanaka's hand as she circled the table, her index finger on her lip, drooling slightly.
"Fufu, it's not just the appearance, it's really delicious." Akane pinched her daughter's chubby cheek and asked in a slightly stern tone: "Have you washed your hands, young lady?"
"Oniichan didn't wash his hands either, dattebane!" She tattled instead of admitting her own fault.
"Oh, young lady…!" Akane pretended to be angry as she reached out toward Kushina.
"Hehehe~" Laughing, Kushina escaped Akane's 'claws' while heading toward the kitchen sink, grabbing a stool to wash her hands.
Akane seemed helpless as she said: "What am I going to do with you, dattekane?"
Smiling, Tanaka also went to wash his hands.
While eating, Akane spoke seriously: "Tanaka-kun, today while you were out, someone from the Uzukage's office came."
Stopping his meal, he looked at her.
"They wanted you to go on a mission, but I managed to get them to postpone it for 3 days."
"Thank you." Tanaka said: "Three days are enough."
"Oniichan, are you going on a mission again?" Kushina asked in a lamentable voice.
"I have to." Tanaka replied: "But this time, I won't come back hurt."
"Do you promise?"
"Yes, I promise." Tanaka was confident he could keep his promise.
After all, with a gamer's body, even if he got hurt, it was just a matter of resting or even eating and sleeping to be good as new.
"Okay." Kushina said before returning to her meal, extending her pinky toward him: "You promised, if you don't keep it, you'll have to swallow a thousand needles~"
Interlocking his pinky with hers, he nodded: "Mm."
On the side, Akane, who saw this, was smiling gently. Her smile was as beautiful as a sunset.
══════
Knowing he only had 3 days before having to go on another mission made Tanaka speed up his preparations, one of which was learning as many useful skills as possible, such as: 'Mystical Palm Technique,' which he held the jutsu scroll and clicked to confirm.
══════
[You obtained the skill: [Mystical Palm]]
A healing skill using chakra (MP) (you need to touch the target directly to use this ability).
[[Mystical Palm] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 30MP]
Effect: Heals up to 50 HP.
Effect: The amount of healing increases with each level.
Effect: The duration of the healing increases with each level.
Additional cost: 40MP per minute while healing is active and can heal up to 80 HP per minute.
══════
When he extended his hand, a green aura began to surround it.
The fact that he could learn skills this way was an unprecedented advantage. It was a cheat where he could simply skip the entire process and go straight to learning the jutsu he desired, as long as he met the basic requirements of points distributed in certain attributes and possessed the jutsu scroll that would transform into a skill for him.
While testing this skill, he was surprised to make a discovery: 'Heavens, I thought I would have a 90% increase using this skill, but in reality, it's 140%, since although it uses MP, it also heals HP, so the 50% increase from Uzumaki Vitality also applies to this skill...'
It's basically 125 healing at skill activation and 200 HP per minute...
Wanting to be well-prepared for the next three days, he thought: 'Okay, I need to get some jutsus...'
With this in mind, he set out.
══════
Later, in the training area, Tanaka took several scrolls and began learning them one by one.
══════
[[Earth Style Wall] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 20MP]

Effect: Creates a water wall around the user.
Additional cost: 35MP per minute.
══════

[Reduces execution time by 5%.]
[Increases seal accuracy by 10%.]
[90% damage increase.]

══════
'I had to spend a good portion of my contribution to acquire these jutsus, but it was worth it.' He thought with a smile.
Soon, he approached the water, then, making several seals while murmuring in his mind: 'Water Dragon Bomb.'
The speed of the seals or even the accuracy was something he shouldn't have been able to do right away. After all, it was a jutsu with several seals, but the moment he wanted to use the jutsu that had become a skill for him, his hands basically moved on their own and started making the seals, he just had to coordinate and then, the water dragon was created.
Under his control, Tanaka made it attack toward the water.
"Boom!"
The moment the water dragon made contact with the water, an explosion of water occurred, creating several ripples in the water.
Making other hand seals, he murmured in his mind: 'Water Wall.'
Soon, he blew water from his mouth, creating a water wall around him, preventing him from being hit by the waves. The sounds of the water waves hitting the barrier echoed, along with the sound of the sea's agitation, however, while he was surrounded by the water wall, he wasn't hit.
When the sea calmed down, he dispelled the barrier. Seeing that he had lost a good portion of MP, Tanaka used HP-to-MP conversion. Soon, when he saw he was running out of health, he used the 'Mystical Palm' skill to heal the lost HP.
'I basically have infinite MP this way...' Tanaka thought with eyes gleaming a bit. Of course, he understood that the speed of conversion and having to heal after using HP to restore MP could be risky depending on the situation.
But, at least for training, it was very useful. Or even if he could manage to evade the enemy while doing the conversion.
