章 4: Chapter 4 : System List
By the time I went back to the Nara place, I saw both Shikamaru and Uncle Shikaku were waiting for me in front of my house. Apparently, they wanted to invite me to dinner on both me and Shikamaru passing the test.
"Shika, where were you all this time, your aunty is waiting for you for all this time, she prepare a big feast for both you and Shikamaru passing day, refuse to give us any until you came back. Troblesome". Said Shika'a uncle with a little annoyed look on his face.
Shikamaru was not that different in this case, he too was looking annoyed but at annoyed look wasn't directed at me.
"Ah sorry sorry, I was napping on the hill side, have been working hard for this exam and finally when I got time I just nap and relax." What else I can say in this situation. I just hoped that this excuse work, considering just how much Shika was like Shikamaru.
They too easily believe this, making me relax.
I gladly went along, avoiding them might be more suspicious after all. All night I kept to myself and tried to act like how previous Shika would have reacted. The dinner was delicious, that I have to say. Anyway, there was a reason why Uncle Shikaku invited me.
"This is the secret of our Nara clan, usually kids learn this way early but for Orphans we wait until they are at least Genin," Shikaku said as he brought both me and Shikamaru outside in the night.
That is when he showcased the Shadow Manipulation of the Nara clan. And here I was pondering whether Shika is the only Nara who doesn't know how to do that. Apparently, not everyone from the Nara clan learns this. Only those who become Ninja or show promise.
There is no scroll or anything, its been passed down verbally from generation to generation. And even if the jutsu leaks outside of the clan, it's not like others can do it. The amount of Yin chakra and control needed makes the jutsu almost unusable for anyone who is not a Nara.
And even if there are people who can, what is the point, ultimately this technique is not that strong, at least not stand alone. There is a reason why the InoShikaCho formation has been so vital and why the three clans have such a good relationship. Without this teamwork, standalone neither of the clans is as strong as Hyuga, or clans which used to exist like Uchiha and Senju.
So, shadow manipulation was another thing which I plan to put in my training regime.

I honestly wasn't expecting this. I thought the system would give me power and then go away. But apparently, there is much for me to do. Well, the missions given by the system are clear enough.
Though many of them are hard to the point of Impossible. Something like Mastering Ten Shadow! To do that one has to first beat Mahoraga.
How the hell was once supposed to do that?
Sigh.
It's clear that the system wants me to get stronger, and even more than that I have to plan my actions if I want to use the system to its full potential.
Besides the promotion list, which kind of gives me some leeway, the kill list is much different. I have to plan who I kill from now on. My first kill in almost all level matters.
And so are the Alphabets besides the mission, surely denoting the ranks of the mission or the rewards I'm gonna get.
Ten missions altogether in which I completed 1 by becoming a Genin and got S rank power as the starting pack and then had 9 chances to get stronger. And none of them are S rank.
Among the 9, 2 are almost impossible. Who gonna make a 13-year-old or even a teenager for that matter a Kage? Gaara became the Kazekage because there weren't any options for the sand village.
But there are many people here in Konoha who can fill that place. There is no way I can become Hokage in any normal condition. But maybe if I pull some strings.
Then there is defeating Mahoraga. Yeah, let's just not talk about these two missions for the time being.
Besides these two thought, others are possible, at least to some degree. I should only focus on them.
These missions are also not just mindless ones.
I have to decide who I am gonna kill, at least when it comes to Kill List, I have an option as to whom I go after and more than that, what kind of powers I am after.
The level of my opponent will determine what mission I fulfil, and what kind of rewards I get.
So in case even If I plan to walk in the evil path and kill characters like Naruto or Sasuke, I might not get the better part of their powers because they are still Genins. I have to wait until they are strong to kill them to get better powers from them. But it's not like I am planning on doing that.
There are other people, mainly enemies who I can kill and get equal or better rewards as well. Just have to plan this out.
I know that there are around 6 months before the next Chunin exam takes place. I know because one just recently took place before the graduation.
Currently, the land of fire, or to be more precise, Konoha is in an alliance with Sand Village. Meaning teams from sites join the Chunin exams no matter which village hosts it. In 6 months one village hosts the exam and this has been happening for some time now after the end of 3rd Great War.
In 6 months' time, the famous Chunin exam will take place here in Konoha. My best bet is to enter then to become Chunin.
Hmm, what should I do?
I'm not anywhere strong enough to participate in that, it's possible if I use Shikigamis from Ten Shadows but I don't want to reveal that to others. Not until I am not strong enough.
Getting attention because I did well in the chunin exam, is a lot different than becoming someone who potentially has a new Kekkei Genkai. At least that is what others will think if I use any of the Shikigami in from of them.
That the wrong sort of attention, forget what the other villages do after knowing Konoha has another Kekkei Genkai. Even the people in Konoha will be troublesome. Danzo and his Root is no joke. I rather not come under his radar until its not absolutely necessary.
I might get away with it if I act like they are summon beasts, but not more than one.
Sigh, whatever, I need to sleep now. Tomorrow is the team arrangement. I better not be late.
