章節 14: Chapter 14 - Inventory Skill and Chakra Unlocking
"Ring...."
The sound of an alarm clock rang throughout the room. Daichi opened his eyes. It was his 3rd day waking up in this world. He got up, turned off the alarm and got ready for the day.
He went downstairs to meet his grandpa. He had his breakfast and went back to his room. There were two main things he had to do today.
Testing the abilities of his Inventory skill and chakra unlocking.
He took out all the things he bought yesterday. There were several pens of the same shape and size and a couple others that were different. 2 stopwatch timers of the same built. The book on horticulture and cooking, along with the several pairs of dresses he bought with his grandfather the first day. Finally he took out the small cage with the white mouse in it.
"Ok. Time to see just what my inventory can do… Inventory." He called out lightly.
A small window with dozens of empty boxes appeared. The first test. He wanted to see if time moved differently in the inventory space. So he set the 2 stopwatch timers and stored one in his inventory while he set the other in front of him. It will take some time to see the results so he proceeded with the next test.
He put 5 pens of the same color and shape. All from the same maker into the inventory. He saw that only one box was taken and saw a multiplier of 5 marked underneath the box.
He then stored the remaining pens but since they were different colors and built they took up another two boxes.
'Hmm…. So even though they were the same items - pens, since they were different they took up different spaces. Probably the same for books and other stuff like scrolls or weapons.'
'I also should have several sets of clothes set and stored. For battle, camouflage, stealth, training and more… '
Daichi then stored the books on horticulture and cooking in his inventory. Just as he suspected, they took up two boxes. Daichi was thoroughly testing the inventory skill because he only had 35 slots.
He needed to know if the slots would increase with each level up. He wanted to make sure he had some slots free in case he needed to store something unexpectedly while at the same time he had all the necessary items he would need.
Now time for his final and most important test. To see if his skill can hold anything living. He took the small mouse from the cage and tried to place it in his inventory slot.
A red notification appeared.
[Warning. Action Denied. Cannot store living creatures. Only exceptions are during special conditions.]
He put the mouse back in the cage and read through the message again.
'So under special circumstances I can store living beings. Need to look into that later.'
For his final test he put two sets of clothes in two slots. 'Equip.'
His current outfit changed to the one he imagined instantly. And then he thought about taking the pen and it appeared in his right hand. When he thought about his inventory he could see a subspace with all the stored items. It seems he could directly equip clothes and other items from his inventory.
'It seems I will be able to equip weapons and armor in an instant. A very useful ability indeed.'
Daichi went through various tests he deemed necessary and was happy with the outcomes. Around 30 minutes had passed. It was time to find out the results of the first test. He wanted to see if there was a time difference between the real world and inventory.
He took the stop watch out to see the time. He was shocked when he saw the time.
"It's the same time as when I stored it inside. Right down to the second. According to this, no time had passed from when I put it in the slot till I took it out. So time in that subspace is frozen."
Daichi was very excited. 'A very powerful ability. I can store foods all freshly prepared and they will stay like that as long as it's inside. Looks like I won't have to worry about going hungry or thirsty if I ever end up in an unknown terrain.'
Daichi's test with the Inventory came to an end.
It was finally time for him to unlock his chakra and train in it.
Kensei gave him 3 books yesterday. One on chakra control and theory, one that explains about hand seals and their purposes and the last one showing the details of the human body.
The reason Kensei gave the book on human anatomy was so he could figure out just how smart Daichi was and if he could even comprehend a small portion of such a vast subject. If he succeeded then Kensei would make sure Daichi would learn some basic medical techniques too. But Daichi didn't know any of this.
Daichi closed the door to his room. He had forgone exercise this morning because he wanted to be in the best shape when he unlocked his chakra.
Daichi took the book on chakra theory and control. He already had an understanding of what chakra was but that understanding came from his previous life. So he couldn't be sure what was doable and what wasn't. He was going to read the entire book to make sure he understood everything so he wouldn't mess up when he trained with his chakra.
For the next several hours Daichi read through every sentence in the book, committing them to memory. Only after reading the book did he understand that he only had the bare minimum knowledge about chakra. He had gained a far more understanding of the energy he was going to use when he was done with the first book.
The book contained several theories on chakra. How to control them, increase the chakra pool, and efficiently use them. It describes several control exercises for beginners.
By the time he was done reading the book he got several new notifications.
[Due to learning and understanding new information, you have obtained +3 INT]
[You have understood the basics of chakra and thus gained [Chakra Manipulation ]. Would you like to learn this skill? (Y/N)]
Not only did he get 3 INT stat points but also a new skill. He was very happy and accepted without hesitation.
[Chakra Manipulation - (Active/Passive) (LV.1): This skill allows the user to manipulate their own chakra depending on their chakra proficiency. ]
Daichi now understood how to unlock and use his chakra. He sat in a meditative pose and concentrated. He meditated for some time and then brought his hands to form the Ram seal. He concentrated inwards for some time and suddenly he could feel it.
In his belly he could feel a warm energy just waiting to be unleashed. Although it was a small amount. Daichi mentally commanded the chakra to move and he suddenly felt a rush of energy filling his entire body. He opened his eyes and looked at his hands as if seeing them for the first time.
At that moment several new notification boxes appeared.
[You have actively used chakra for the first time. You have gained the skills [Lesser chakra affinity] and [Lesser chakra regeneration]. ]
[Note: Increasing both of the above skills passively increases the level of Chakra manipulation skill. ]
[Lesser chakra affinity - Passive (LV.1): This skill slightly increases the user's talent and ability to use chakra more efficiently. ]
[Effects: +5% growth rate of Chakra stat.
+5% Strength increase to all chakra based skills.
+5% Defense increase against chakra based attacks.
+10% increase to maximum CP.
-5% CP cost to all chakra based skills. ]
[Lesser chakra regeneration - Passive/Active (LV.1): This skill gives the user the ability to regenerate chakra at a slightly faster pace.]
[Effects: Regeneration Increased by 5% of base CP per minute.
+5% growth rate of Chakra stat.
Note: Meditation increases CP regeneration to 10%.]
[Due to continued chakra training, you have obtained +1 CHK]
Daichi started moving his chakra throughout his body. It was an arduous task given that he only just began, but he kept going. When his CP almost reached zero his CHK increased again.
[Due to continued chakra training, you have obtained +1 CHK]
He was going to wait for his chakra to regenerate at the normal rate so he could understand how long it took. He was going to read the other two books as he waited.
He took the one on Hand seals and began reading…
As he read the book and understood new information,
[Due to learning and understanding new information, you have obtained +1 INT.]
His INT stat kept soaring. By the time he completely read the book a new skill appeared.
[You have understood the basics of hand seals and thus have gained [Minor Jutsu Creation] skill. Would you like to learn this skill? (Y/N)]
"BOOYAH. I'm so happy right now. Of course I wanna learn it."
[Minor Jutsu Creation - Active (LV.1): This skill increases the user's understanding, talent and ability to create new Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. When creating new jutsu:]
[Effects: +3% Success rate to create new Ninjutsu.
+3% Success rate to create new Genjutsu.
-3% Less CP requirements for new Jutsu created.]
"Oh man. I'm gonna abuse the hell outta this skill."
Daichi was excited about his latest skill. He had seen many forms of powers and techniques in many stories in his last life. He wanted to recreate some of them when the time came.
'My CP is fully restored. Time to exercise my chakra. I wanna feel it moving through every limb.'
Daichi sat down and focused. He started moving his chakra from his belly to his arms and then to his legs and back. His chakra was small in quantity and since it was his first day of training it was slow to reach the various parts of his body. But as time passed his control over his chakra got better and better.
[Due to continued chakra training, you have obtained +1 CHK.]
[Skill Lesser chakra affinity's level has risen by one.]
[Skill Chakra Manipulation's level has risen by one.]
As he kept training his skill and stats increased.
Once his CP bar was below 20% he rested and decided to take and finish the final book. The book on Human anatomy. It was complicated and even with his advantage he didn't understand most of it at first.
Daichi mainly focused on two things. 1. The chakra pathways system and ways that chakra interact with the organs. 2. The senses and how they function.
He read the chapters again and again and sometimes even took the first two books to clarify some doubts that formed. As he kept reading and understanding the anatomy his INT stat was rapidly rising.
[Due to learning and understanding new information, you have obtained +3 INT.]
[Skill Lesser chakra regeneration's level has risen by one.]
His INT stat had increased by 3 points by the time he stopped reading the book. And the regeneration skill level also increased. He wasn't even finished with a 5th of the book and yet he was able to increase his intelligence by such a wide margin.
"Learning new and advanced information is definitely the best way to improve INT stat. It will take me at least a couple weeks to truly understand and finish the entire book… I can't believe I'm looking forward to studying."
He slightly chuckled to himself.
'Knock knock knock'. There were several knocks on the door.
"Daichi, you in there?" It was the sound of his grandfather.
"Coming." Daichi put the book on the table and opened the door.
"It's almost supper time kiddo. Come on. You don't want to miss dinner like you did lunch." Kensei looked at him with a knowing smile.
"What? I spent the whole day here?" Daichi was surprised. He didn't even notice the time passing. It was only then he looked at the window and noticed the sun was setting.
Kensei smiled. He knew the kid would be busy reading the books and might get lost in it. He suspected as much when he didn't show up for lunch. Since Daichi was studying he didn't want to disturb him as well.
It was only then when taking a closer look at Daichi that Kensei noticed something peculiar. 'No way. His chakra level has increased. Definitely much greater than before.' He had to know what happened.
"Daichi, did you do any chakra training today?" Kensei asked in a neutral tone, not giving anything away.
"Um." Daichi nodded. "I read the two books on chakra theory and hand seals. I was able to unlock my chakra and move it around my body. But not by much."
When Kensei heard this he kept a neutral face and in a calm tone congratulated him. "Well done. Now come on. Dinner is getting cold."
Both of them went down to eat their food. Both of them, thinking about different things.

章節 15: Chapter 15 - Hiruzen's Thoughts and Kensei's Suspicions.
Hokage office. That evening.
Genma gave the Hokage a folder containing all the relevant information on Daichi Hekima. From his time of birth to now.
Hiruzen opened the file and flipped through the pages. Quickly reading every line.
'Born on March 28 the same year as the attack. But it says here that's not his real birthdate. It was assigned by Aiko Hikara when he was in the orphanage. Still, his 5th birthday was 2 days ago… Same day he got adopted I see… The one who adopted him is…'
The Hokage was shocked when he read the name.
Kensei Yasaji.
'Kensei !? Why would he adopt a child now?'
Looking at Daichi's photo again another face came to his mind. 'I see. The boy's resemblance to Kensei's late son is amazing. No wonder he adopted him.'
The Hokage read through the file. Then asked for Genma's personal report. "Tell me what you've found out."
"As you know, during the attack 5 years ago there were many children that became orphans."
"A dark day." Hiruzen sadly sighed. It was also the day he lost his beloved wife, his successor and many other shinobi and villagers.
"Daichi was one of them. During the 2nd day of rescue operations after the attack, a chunin found a child buried beneath a lot of rubble and concrete. The child didn't look like he was breathing but when the chunin took him in her arms he suddenly started crying. They called it a miracle that he survived." Genma said.
"The chunin who rescued the boy, it was Aiko, wasn't it." Hiruzen asked even though he knew.
Genma nodded. He continued. "She retired shortly before the attack and after the incident she quickly got to building her orphanage. She's the one who gave him his name."
"And since some of the records sections were destroyed in the attack and he looked about 6 months old she gave him his name and marked March 28th as his birthday."
'Daichi. Meaning 'from the earth' and 'wisdom'. A fitting name indeed.' Hiruzen mused.
"He has exceptional learning capabilities. Miss Aiko said he learned at a much faster rate than the other children. Based on what she said, his interests lay in books and knowledge."
"A polite smart child who hasn't caused any problems other than the occasional small harmless pranks on his friends. That's her impression of the boy. And during his stay in the orphanage the only times he left its premises was with Miss Aiko to buy groceries or other such items and that too on a handful of occasions."
Hiruzen nodded and motioned to continue.
"Two days ago he was adopted by Kensei Yasaji. A retired Jonin. Miss Aiko said that Kensei thought Daichi might be his grandson so she ran a blood test. It turned out to be false. But he still decided to go through with the adoption."
"That's because Daichi has a strong resemblance to Kensei's late son. During their later years both him and his son became estranged. Perhaps he wanted to make up for that and felt adopting Daichi would accomplish it. That's probably why." Hiruzen added.
Hiruzen then thought about the strained relation he currently had with his son. 'Oh Biwako. I wish you were here. You would know how to solve this.'
"Continue." The old kage motioned with his head.
"Yesterday morning Daichi left his new home and went to several places in the village. I retraced his steps and found he went to a bookstore first. He bought books on gardening and cooking. Then he headed to the Leaf public library."
Now Hiruzen got interested. He wanted to know what books Daichi read there.
"I was able to find the books he took. He spent almost 5 hours reading through the founding of the village, the various clans, and books on the warring era period." Genma stopped.
'So a child no older than 5 really did comprehend the bloody history, the birth and significance of the village and the importance of its existence on his own… unbelievable.'
The Hokage's mind replayed the meeting with the small boy and his words still resounded in his ears. "Go on." He said.
"He bought a map and then went straight to Ichiraku Ramen and then to the Hokage monument. After that he went to the Yamanaka flowers to buy some seeds and fertilizers. Most probably for his garden."
"So that's why he bought the gardening book. And since he bought a cookbook, he would most probably try to learn cooking as well."
"Then he went to buy some common everyday items from the nearby shops and went home." Genma concluded his report.
Hiruzen nodded and dismissed Genma. 'Why am I thinking so much about one child who hasn't even been to the academy?' He sighed.
Although Hiruzen asked himself this question he knew the answer. It was because this boy reminded him of Itachi, Minato and also Orochimaru. He didn't want to see another child with great potential lead a life with heavy burdens or be taken before his time or worse…. Go down the wrong path and become the enemy.
The third Hokage made a decision. "Hawk. Assemble the council along with the clan heads for a meeting. Immediately."
The shadow of an anbu disappeared from Hiruzen's periphery.
Hiruzen made some important choices and chief among them was the change in the age of the academy graduation.
—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kensei's House During Dinner.
Both Kensei and Daichi were at the opposite ends of the table and slowly eating their food. Both thinking about various things.
Although on the outside Kensei was calm on the inside he was astonished. Never in his life did he meet a kid that on his own, without any outside guidance learned to use his chakra. That too on his first day.
'He was able to understand the theory and how to apply it. His intelligence and growth rate is unprecedented. And not only that, it's not just the fact that he learned to use chakra but that it has increased. A small marginal increase but still a noticeable one non the less.'
'Now that I think about it, this isn't the first time something like this happened. During the first day of training I noticed a small increase in his reserves. But I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me. Now I'm sure. His body is somehow able to increase his reserves at a much faster rate than the normal person.'
'This kid's body is definitely abnormal. But this could also be a great advantage… And with his intelligence he could reach heights even beyond my expectations. And when It comes to talents, is it possible? Could this child be in the same league as the fourth Hokage?'
Kensei closed his eyes and thought about the achievements of the late fourth Hokage. 'I suppose only time will tell.'
Then a small smile came to his face. 'If this is his improvement in the first 3 days I can't wait to see how much he will improve by the end of the month. I thought I had come up with an adequate training schedule for the next 11 months but it seems I'll have to revise those plans…'
'Impress me boy. Show me just how much potential you have.'
Kensei ate calmly but mentally cheered Daichi on.
At this time Daichi was thinking about making a training plan for the month. He wanted to improve his skills and learn some chakra control exercises as well as increasing his chakra volume. Since he just got a skill that would help him with creating Justus, increasing his reserves would definitely be a priority.
Suddenly….
[Rep increases with Kensei Yasaji.]
Daichi was a little surprised. He wasn't sure what impressed the old man but he would take it.
'I need to learn the leaf concentration technique tomorrow and increase its level. I also have to focus on my body's stats and improve my body conditioning skill.'
'And I need to figure out how to unlock the special stats. Hmm… The clue to unlocking the stats are in their names. I've already unlocked one and put in motion the events that could unlock another…. Or at least I hope it will work. If not, I'll have to save it for another time. That particular special stat isn't my priority right now.'
'Chakra is like a muscle. As long as I use up my chakra and exhaust it by the time I go to bed I'll increase the chakra stat and lesser chakra affinity skill. An increase in this skill is an increase in chakra growth rate. It will also force the passive regeneration skill to increase in level.'
Daichi quickly finished his meal and thought about how he would spend the next 4 weeks training. He took the dishes as usual and washed them. Increasing the dishwashing skill level.
He bid his grandfather goodnight and went upstairs to his room. He put on some sleepwear and got on his bed, planning his training schedule for the coming days.
Out of nowhere a red notification box appeared.
[You were able to successfully convince someone of much greater strength to make an important choice or a life changing decision through your words or actions. You have reached the special condition needed to unlock Charisma stat. ]
[+1 CHARISMA]
[This stat improves the player's charm that can inspire devotion or loyalty in others and helps rally allies much easier.]
[You have unlocked a special stat. ]
[Reward: +500 Exp.]
[+75 Exp. ]
Reading the system message Daichi was shocked. 'It worked. I can't believe it worked. I was just trying out my luck. I didn't actually think it would work.'
'Charisma. The ability to influence others through words or actions. At first I thought I would have to be like Naruto and make some loyal friends or something like that to awaken this stat. But when the Hokage came to talk to me, the idea to impress and maybe even slightly influence him suddenly came. It was a big risk, but looking at this result. WORTH IT.'
'Now as for the remaining 5 locked stats… I have some ideas on how to unlock them. Need to put those ideas to work soon. Persistence and Sense. Those are the next two I'm going to unlock.'
Now lemme take a look at my stats.

Time to get some sleep. Gotta really push myself starting tomorrow.'
