บท 53: Chapter 53
A few minutes later, Kazuo arrived in front of a building near the Hokage Tower.
It was a large building with multiple stories, built from wood that had been painted red.
Heading inside, Kazuo found himself surrounded by hundreds of books and scrolls.
To the left, there was a small counter, behind which an old lady was sitting and reading a book.
Heading toward her, Kazuo gave a shallow bow of his head before speaking.
"Hello, i've been allowed by the hokage to pick a B-Rank jutsu from the library, where do i go?" Kazuo questioned, his tone polite as he faced the old woman.
Lifting her head from her book, she merely nodded and pointed toward a staircase at the end of the room that lead to the second floor.
"Thank you," Kazuo said before heading toward the staircase.
Once on the second floor of the building he saw a similar layout to the first however this time there were no books, only scrolls, and to the right, there was a similar counter as before however the one seated behind it was a young man wearing a chunnin vest.
"Hello, I was sent by lord Hokage to pick a B-ranked jutsu." Kazuo said to the man before showing him the small seal that the Hokage had given him.
"Head to the next floor, the staircase is at the end of the room to the left." The man said as he pointed in the staircase's direcion.
Nodding his head, Kazuo headed to the next floor once more.
This time however once he arrived at the third floor, three shinobi were already waiting at the top of the staircase.
"Here's the seal Lord Hokage gave me so that I can pick a B-Rank Jutsu," Kazuo said as he showed the shinobi the seal.
Looking at the seal closely and using a few handseals, the shinobi nodded their head and allowed Kazuo through.
Looking around, Kazuo saw that the quantity of the scrolls had lowered massively, the room looked barren in comparison to the previous floors.
Heading toward the counter, behind which a shinobi was seated, most likely a Jonin.
Quickly telling him what he was there for, the man said to look around and bring the scroll he wanted back to him.
Nodding his head, Kazuo finally turned around and started looking through the jutsu section.
He already knew what he would be picking, however.
'The Shadow Clone Jutsu' Kazuo thought as his smile grew larger and larger.
'As well as every other jutsu in this place.' Kazuo thought his lips curling even further.
Looking around, he found tens of B-rank jutsu, be they elemental or simply normal chakra-based jutsu.
Ranging from Jutsu like:
Fire Style: Great Annihilation Jutsu
Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death
Earth Release: Earth Spear
Water Release: Water Gun
And finally...
The Shadow Clone Technique.
Each of the scroll techniques gave a brief description of the jutsu however they didnt tell the person how to do the jutsu.
Taking the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Kazuo turned around and headed to the counter once more.
Giving the man both the scroll and the Hokage's seal, he was given a different purple-colored scroll in return.
Opening it quickly, Kazuo found the shadow clone technique inside, this time explained in full detail.
"Thank you," Kazuo said as he gave a shallow bow to the man.
"It's nothing, remember to destroy the scroll after you are done with it." The man said before quickly shooing Kazuo away.
"No problem, goodbye." Kazuo said before turning around and heading toward the exit of the building.
Once outside, Kazuo quickly used the body flicker technique to head toward training ground one.
Once he was back in his training spot once more, Kazuo opened the scroll and started reading it.
'The technique works by dividing the user's chakra in half and making a clone that is physical as well as can transfer back memories to the user, because of the usage of so much chakra, it is considered one of the more dangerous B-ranked Jutsu.' Kazuo read before quickly arriving at the part where it described how to use the technique.
'Seems fairly simple, it uses the tiger seal instead of the cross seal that Naruto uses for the multi-shadow clone technique.' Kazuo thought as he memorized the entire scroll and finally decided to put the technique into practice.
Making the tiger seal, Kazuo followed the instructions on how to move the chakra through his chakra coils and performed the technique.
With a large puff of smoke, a clone appeared next to him, it looked completely identical.
'A success' Kazuo thought before sensing his chakra reserves.
'Extremely low, if I had Gennin chakra then I would have most definitely lost consciousness or maybe even died if I used this technique.' Kazuo thought before shaking his head and dismissing the clone.
Around sixty percent of the chakra used was returned to him once more.
'The higher the mastery of the technique, the less chakra is lost however even then this technique is useless for combat for the me of right now, i lose too much chakra and cant use any other techniques after i use it.' Kazuo thought in slight annoyance before his mouth curled up into a smile once more.
'Alright, shall we check out the other techniques now?' Kazuo thought as he sent almost his entire chakra reserves into his brain.
*Thump*
Opening his eyes the next second, Kazuo found himself back in his broken bed, the time having looped back.
Getting up from his bed, Kazuo followed his actions that he had done yesterday almost completley, the only difference being that he started practicing the shadow clone technique aswell.
Met with Minato later and joined his team and then headed to the Hokage tower before being granted the ninjutsu reward and arriving at the third floor of the Ninja library again.
'All right, what should I pick next?' Kazuo thought with a large smile on his face, his eyes practically sparkling as he looked at the ninjutsu scrolls around him.

Here's the daily chapter, Thanks for reading and I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Also did people actually think Kazuo was going to pass up on the opportunity to practically steal the jutsu? Hes much selfish than that, sadly for Hiruzen.
