Would you like to learn the skill?
"Fuck it, I'm not getting my ass kicked again because I chose to wait until after school to learn something," said Naruto, tapping the 'Confirm (Y)' button.
You cannot learn this skill.
Required WIS: 25% of CP.
Naruto blinked, then blinked again. He had nine hundred CP the last time he checked and only ten WIS. He couldn't get close to that number if he tried, not with one of his status effects giving him +100 CP with every level. Even now he would need 225 WIS and that number would just keep going up.
"Ano, Iruka-sensei," said Naruto raising his hand.
"Yes Naruto?"
"I can't learn Bunshin," he said.
"Naruto, I'm sure if you put some real effort into it you could learn. Now stop causing scene," said Iruka, effectively dismissing him.
"But sensei," he tried to protest.
"What, Naruto?"
"I have too much chakra for it," he tried to explain.
"There is no such thing as too much chakra, Naruto. Only not enough control," said Iruka trying to placate him.
"So how do I improve my control," he asked.
"I've already taught you this, try to remember," said Iruka.
Naruto frowned. What did Iruka teach him before? "Was it that stupid leaf thing?"
"Yes, Naruto, that 'stupid leaf thing' is a very basic chakra control exercise," he explained. "I suggest you spend some time working on it if you want to improve your control enough to use Bunshin correctly.
Naruto groaned.
A special skill has been created through a special act.
You remember a past lesson that was previously disregarded. Chakra control 'Leaf Sticking' Lvl. 1 has been created.
Naruto immediately opened his skills list and tapped the [Leaf Sticking].
[Leaf Sticking (Passive/Active) Lv1 Exp 0.00% CP 15 per 5 seconds]
Introductory chakra control exercise taught to all academy students. This exercise improves your chakra control the more you level it up.
Passively increases WIS 5%.
Naruto wasn't overly pleased with the exercise. Even if he maxed it out and gained a 100% bonus to his WIS it would still only give him 20 WIS total which wouldn't come close to meeting the requirements for Bunshin. And that was assuming the passive buff even went up that high.
"Right then," said Naruto. "Sensei, do you have a leaf?"
Iruka smiled kindly before taking a leaf out of his hip pouch and handing it to Naruto. "Here you go," said Iruka.
"You carry around leaves?"
"How do you think we leave behind leaves when we use shunshin?" asked Iruka.
"Really?" asked Naruto. "I mean . . . really?"
"Really," chuckled Iruka, nodding slightly.
"Huh, who knew," said Naruto, laughing a little himself before sticking the leaf to his forehead. "[Leaf Sticking]"
Naruto sat at his desk focusing on the leaf on his forehead while his CP continued to tick downwards rather rapidly. Just short of the five minute mark Naruto ended the skill allowing the leaf to float down and his CP start to recharge.
[Leaf Sticking]'s level has risen by one.
[Leaf Sticking]'s level has risen by one.
[Leaf Sticking]'s level has risen by one.
[Leaf Sticking]'s level has risen by one.
"Wow," said Naruto appreciatively. He'd gained four level in just five minutes.
[Leaf Sticking (Passive/Active) Lv5 Exp 97.85% CP 10 per 5 seconds]
Introductory chakra control exercise taught to all academy students. This exercise improves your chakra control the more you level it up.
Passively increases WIS 6%.
Naruto read the update and was not impressed. Sure, it cut down the cost of the skill but it only increase the passive buff by 1%.
Naruto ended up actually paying attention to class while watching his CP refill in his status screen.
An hour later the sensei began having each student practice the three techniques. Naruto received quests for each though the reward was very minor, only 200 Exp each for the two he could do and 100 Exp for the Bunshin he failed on and no bonus quests for succeeding.
Finally class ended and Naruto was set free for the afternoon with only one . . . make that two objectives in mind. First he needed to go to Higurashi Weapons and then he had a bowl of Ichiraku ramen with his name on it.
Higurashi Weapons was a small rundown looking shop at the end of the market district. According to the wooden sign hanging above the door they had been serving Konoha since the founding of the village.
Naruto cautiously stepped inside, allowing the door to close with a soft thud behind him and a jingle of a bell. There wasn't anyone readily visible to Naruto as he entered deeper into the shop.
"Hello," he called out cautiously.
"Be with you in a second," called gruff male voice from somewhere in the back.
Naruto looked around the shop knowing it was fairly safe for now. It turned out to be a veritable cornucopia of weapons and armor. His [Observe] was working overtime with everything he looked at.
"Now, what can I do for you?" asked the shopkeeper, setting down a large box with a heavy thud on the counter.
"Um, I need to see about getting some better gear or getting my current gear repaired," said Naruto, still unsure how the man would react.
"Well, fixing the crap you're wearing now shouldn't be a problem but I would strongly recommend burning it and let me tell you up front, I ain't touching that thing until it has been thoroughly washed and sanitized. That said, let's see if we can get you some decent gear. How much have you got to spend?"
"I only have 3500 ryo," said Naruto.
