Chapter 16 - Chakra Control(1)

Naruto: "Every 2 levels? I mean...alright I guess." Naruto continued slogging away at the exercise. He thought he would be done quite easily but only twenty minutes later did he gain another level. "Jinchuriki...such a pain."

[Leaf Concentration Exercise Level 2, Exp-3%]

[CC: 9%]

Naruto remembered one of his perks that were question marks before. He thought that the 40% less chakra control experience would be no trouble but only now did he realize how much of an annoyance it is. "ID Create."

Going into the ID Create default space, he decided to spam clones in hopes of making the process go faster but because every level takes more and more experience to level up, Naruto ended up spending an entire day doing chakra control. Of course, he made sure that some of his clones did some swordsmanship training to max it out. He even joined the sword clones to vent out his frustrations.

Naruto: "Alright everyone. Time to dispel." Over 700 clones dispelled together and Naruto did not feel a thing. With the Mind Resistance at max and the Mind Fortress existing, the shadow clones fatigue became null.

Naruto: "7 hours of training and 600 clones... and only 11 levels!?! Are you kidding me!?" Naruto was used to his speedy training with the clones. The only skill that leveled up decently quick was swordsmanship. Even then, everything else was leveling up too slow like the linked clones, instinct, and battle instinct. Intuition did not level up even once. Frustration was on Naruto's face before a calming breeze filled his head and he could think clearly once more. "Everything else is so slow but swordsmanship is a little too easy to level up. Even shurikenjutsu was easy to level up, and that was without a support skill that boosted its training. Cain, why is it this way?"

[For swordsmanship, you have the Sword Foundation skill that gives immense talent in swordsmanship so it is indirectly supporting your swordsmanship training. Also, you were given your mother's memories of her swordsmanship ingrained into every part of your body. Did you forget that? ]

Naruto: "Oh...that makes sense." Naruto smiled. 'Thanks, mother.'

[As for shurikenjutsu, it was your father's doing. After all, he was master of using the kunai. When he passed on his techniques to you, he also gave you some of his experiences as well. ]

Naruto: "I have awesome parents don't I?"

[Yes you do. Especially your mother. She could give birth, get the Nine-Tails ripped out her, and then still use her chains to pin down the Nine-Tails so that it doesn't destroy the leaf.]

Naruto: "Whoa. I didn't know that! It was ripped out of her!?"

[Yes. Because she is an Uzumaki, she survived. Others, however, would not have even survived the process.]

Naruto: "So she suffered even in her last moments. Both my parents died so violently..." Naruto looked down. Wrath slowly building up in his body.

["Karma has no deadline."]

Naruto: "And who said that?"

[A wise person.]

Naruto smiled. He knew what Cain meant the moment he said it. He was right. He shouldn't waste his life thinking about things that already happened, rather live for the future that he will shape.

Naruto: "Thanks, Cain." With some of Naruto's negative thoughts out of the way, he decided to have dinner. He already skipped lunch and he knew that he couldn't bear missing dinner. After eating, he wanted to see if can use his power differently. He went to ID Create and summoned his clones. He then tried to feel for the same power that lets him use ID Create and use it on a clone. The clone did not change at all and Naruto almost doubted himself until Cain told him what he did.

Turned out, he was successful in making his clone into an ID Clone. This clone now also has access to his special power and can influence others by touch, making them an ID Clone as well. The best part, they don't get tired and they don't require any human necessities like sleep or food.

Naruto then created 1700 clones. The ID Clone made 200 of them focus on swordsmanship all night while other 1500 on chakra control. Naruto himself nodded as he was proud of his lucky accomplishment. He only theorized that it might work but because he was right, he could have more progress. Since he had a little more time before bedtime, he decided to do his muscle training.

Two hours later, a wet Naruto was on the floor, staring at the clear skies due to exhaustion. Due to his Str and End being higher than it was previously, it was easier to train at the beginning until Cain told him to have higher weights and higher reps respectively for both parts of the training. Bitterly cursing Cain in his mind, he gave in knowing that Cain was right. Now he obtained benefits that he wouldn't have obtained if he did not listen to Cain.

[Muscle Toughness Level 15, Exp-0%]

Naruto: "Details...Cain..." said a tired voice.

[Muscle Movement]

[Greater Flexibility, Greater Body Control, Greater Reflexes, Body Foundation Skill, Muscle Toughness Skill, +15 Dexterity..]

[The base for the body. The stronger this skill, the more improvements the user can have and the more punish the user can take. This is a level 300 skill that can only be leveled up when user trains his body using specific techniques or learning specific skills like Muscle Movement. At level 300, the user will gain an extra +100 stats in all physical attributes and will gain the perk Perfect Foundation which will let the user have limitless potential in body power.]

[Muscle Toughness]

[As it says in the name, this skill passively increases the durability, strength, and toughness of the user's muscles. Finishing the pink muscle training will max this out and it will also signify the end of the pink muscle training.]

Naruto: "Awesome." said Naruto as he started to drink the miracle water that he drank yesterday and did his barrel bath. Feeling refreshed and seeing that it was time to sleep, he went to bed.

Main Naruto went to sleep for the next 8 hours. In his sleeping session, he found himself in a dark space again and the same man who once called him weak and unworthy. That man did not even look at Naruto.

?: "Look." The silver-haired man pulled out his sword. Naruto was slightly shocked that it looked just like his Yamato except the colors were different. And then he remembered that when he got the Yamato, it said alternate skin. It made him realize that he possibly seeing the original version and the original user of the sword. Observing him closely, he saw that the man was standing still. The mysterious man swung it quickly. Two sword slices combined into making a cross in space.

Naruto was flabbergasted. He just saw that the user of Yamato cut space and it just opened up like a door of sorts. The man looked back Naruto with an indifferent countenance and then walked into the new portal he created. Naruto looked around and tried to find him but he couldn't see anyone. A moment later, he saw the man walk out of the portal behind him and walked away.

Naruto: "Is that what the Yamato is capable of?" Naruto was amazed. He then realized that he had no idea what the Yamato can do. It made him feel stupid for neglecting such a powerful weapon. He woke up a few seconds after with a calculating look on his face. "Cain said I need demonic power to use the Yamato's abilities so I wonder how far am in changing into one I wonder? Cain, pull up the status for my race."

[Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto: "Oh wow. I'm pretty sure I used the Yamato like 3 times."

[It's the influence of those dreams. The man you met. The more you go near him, the more you change. Just be careful with him. He has a slight defect in his personality.]

Naruto: "Uh...sure. So how does it work anyway? How do I just dream myself into a demon?"

[Because he is the original user of the sword, he has a connection to the sword. He is using that connection to meet his successor and change you into what you are becoming. Not to mention, he is also speeding up your transformation process.]

Naruto: "I can work with that. If I can use the Yamato to teleport everywhere, then I would love to become a demon. That makes traveling so much more convenient."

[Just don't be like him. He is intensely power-crazy and he also likes to fight strong opponents. ]

Naruto: "Got it." After getting up from bed, he went to wash up and get some breakfast. He used ID Create to leave for his clones after he was done having breakfast. Naruto saw all his clones still going at it. "Alright, everyone. Time to reap what we have sown."
