Kapitel 21: Chapter 21
The night passed quickly under the joyous atmosphere around the camp after the hard-earned victory.
Hours later, just before the sun could rise up over the horizion, Kazuo woke up sweating his breaths haggard and his eyes unfocused for a moment before they regained their clarity.
A headache pierced his mind causing him to hold his forehead in his hands.
"Ah fucking nightmares," Kazuo thought before turning around so that he could sit upright on the bed with his legs on the floor.
*Sigh*
Releasing a sigh for what felt like the thousandth time this week, Kazuo shook his head to regain his focus and immediately got up from his bed.
Yesterday had been the first night that he hadnt slept in his combat gear since coming into this world, he had it cleaned and even washed his body before he had went to sleep.
Taking the clean combat gear, Kazuo quickly wore it before taking out an ink brush he had obtained from one of the fellow leaf shinobi yesterday.
Taking out two handguards, Kazuo quickly started trying out the new jutsu he had gained.
He didn't think and instead, simply let the instincts that the system had ingrained into him to do the work.
Sealing jutsu was dangerous, he knew that for a fact.
A simple mistake could result in an explosion causing him to die once more.
The inscribing process of the seals didnt take more than a few seconds with his full mastery over the jutsu and when he was done, Kazuo quickly wore the arm guards and took out his ninja bag before placing his newly made papershuriken against the seal and using a small fraction of his chakra.
*Poof*
With a small smoke eruption which quickly disappeared, the shuriken was sealed inside the arm guards.
'This will allow me to have easier access to weapons whilst in battle and even hide them from the enemy until the last second allowing me to launch a surprise attack but most importantly since the leaf doesn't know about this then I can use it to store items that I do not want them to find out that I actually own.' Kazuo thought with a small smile, his headache almost forgotten in front of the excitement he felt about using a new jutsu he had earned after a hard-fought battle.
With his preparations done for the moment, Kazuo headed out of his tent and went directly to the training grounds.
'I need to know whether i can actually increase my base stats by simply training, if i cant do that then it means the only way for me to grow stronger is through quests. Lets just hope for the best. Ill give myself one month of time if none of my physical stats increase in that time frame then its confired that i can only gain strength through quests' Kazuo thought as he arrived at what felt like his own special training ground in the camp.
It was the same secluded spot where he had exploded his own head, more times than he would have liked.
Forming a taijutsu stance, Kazuo started going through his katas for the morning.
It was one of the best ways to increase both your fluidity of comabt aswell as to build the required muscles to perform the movements at a faster speed whilst giving the attacks at higher strength.
This took about an hour and only stopped when the first rays of the sun hit the elemental continent.
*Huff* *Huff*
'Shit, this is hard' Kazuo thought, his breath haggard and sweat drenching his entire body.
However, he didn't stop and turned around to face the tree trunk that already looked half destroyed from his repeated use of Jutsu onto it.
Taking four paper shurking from his ninja bag, Kazuo continued his training, this time his focus was on his shuriken jutsu.
Instead of going to retrieve the shuriken, Kazuo had put a stack of paper in his bag and used his paper shuriken jutsu to make shuriken from the paper almost instantly before throwing them.
'By doing this, it allows me to have a much larger amount of projectile weapons whilst saving a ton of space as well as lowering the weight that I have to carry.' Kazuo thought with a smile.
His shuriken jutsu practice lasted for around half an hour before he headed to the tree trunk which was riddled with paper shuriken and quickly retrieved them.
Using the shuriken jutsu he quickly turned the shuriken back into paper and put them into his bag.
There was one last thing that he had to do before he was done with today's training and had to head to the commander's tent.
Opening his status menu, Kazuo looked at the two small grade upgrade points and quickly thrust both into his chakra sat.

A smile erupted onto Kazuos face as he felt energy start gathering at his stomach before it almost exploded and spread all over his body.
Increasing his chakra levels by more than six times and bringing him to low Chunin level chakra reserves.
However that wasn't the only reason for Kazuo's satisfaction, it was the fact that his training was actually bearing fruit.
His Academy style Taijutsu and Shuriken Jutsu training had paid off and now he was just one rank away from complete mastery and he had managed to make the system recognize the water walking as a skill.
'If I were to fight myself in the body of this guy on the first day then I would obliterate him' Kazuo thought with satisfaction.
