"Neat," Naruto mumbled to himself, finally closing the window entirely and trying to pay attention to the lesson at hand eventually nodding off anyway.
After History they all had lunch… well the other students had lunch, Naruto went back to the target range and practiced the two bukijutsu he had learned managing to gain to more levels for each gaining another 10% accuracy for both.
After lunch it was more classroom time, Naruto's favorite.
"So first, here is the review booklets for both squad tactics and academy taijutsu. I know it's more of the same from the last few years but clearly some of you have not taken to these lessons as well as you should have," said Iruka.
Naruto couldn't help but think that Iruka was speaking to him specifically.
Once again the two booklets offered Naruto the skill to learn but in an effort to avoid getting into trouble Naruto chose to hold off until after the academy let out to really dig into it.
Unfortunately that meant when they all went outside for Taijutsu practice, Naruto got his ass handed to him and ended up failing three more quests, one for each match. He still got some good experience from it and even gained another passive skill.
[Physical Endurance] – Passive – 4 – The body's durability increases, allowing for less damage taken. 4% decrease in damage taken by attacks.
It was painful to learn but he didn't have much choice. On the other hand he could still see where this would be a valuable skill later on.
Naruto finally left the academy around 4:00 pm. He'd spent an extra hour after class working on the target range gaining another level for the two bukijutsu and another 5% more accuracy to each. It also increased the active abilities this time.
[Kunai Bukijutsu (Passive/Active) Lv5 Exp: 0.00% CP: 5]
Weapon's technique specific to Kunai usage in both melee and ranged combat.
Passively increases kunai accuracy 25%
Passively increases kunai parry 10%
Additional 15% increase in STR when active.
[Shuriken Bukijutsu (Passive/Active) Lv5 Exp: 0.00% CP: 5]
Weapon's technique specific to Shuriken usage in ranged combat.
Passively increases shuriken accuracy 35%
Additional 7.5% increase in damage when active.
Now Naruto had another quest just burning a hole in his pocket.
Naruto rarely ever went into the basement of his apartment building simply because the chakra rats tended be both aggressive and disease ridden and he couldn't exactly afford a visit to the hospital. Now however, all he had to do was kill them all regardless if they poisoned him because he could just go to sleep and all the status ailments would be gone in the morning.
Stepping off the final step in the basement Naruto called them out. "Alright you, rat bastards. Time to clear you fuckers out of this place.
It was only a second later the first of the rats attacked. It darted out from under the steps just behind him and bit into his ankle.
Naruto yelped but turned quickly drove a kunai into the little bastard killing it with one hit. It was only level 1 so very easy to kill.
The next ten were not so easy to kill. They ranged from level 1 to level 4 so while some died in one hit most took between three and four hits to end.
After the twentieth kill he received a notice.
Congratulations! Your level has increased by 1.
Naruto barely had time to think about it before a king chakra rat appeared. It was level seven.
King Chakra Rat Lvl 7
HP: 1000/1000 CP: 400/400
King Chakra Rat is the leader of a nest. He is the meanest of the bunch and bites the hardest but in his time as king has had the benefit of the largest portions causing him to gain excessive weight slowing him down significantly.
Naruto was thankful for the information but not pleased by it. This was going to be one really mean rat. Naruto checked his own health quickly to see he was just above half but the poison he'd taken from the bites were slowly ticking his health downward.
"So you need to die quickly or I'm completely fucked. So bring it you fat bastard," said Naruto taunting the rat.
A special skill has been created through a special act.
Through continuous trash talking, a skill to anger an opponent, 'Taunt' Lvl. 1 has been created.
Naruto was surprised slightly to have learned such a skill but quickly closed the menu as the rat now looked really angry and seemed to have taken a red tint to it.
"Crap," said Naruto. "Red like that usually means rage. So you can only attack physically and only me but your damage will be increased as a result."
True to form, the rat charged straight at him.
Naruto rolled left just as the rat closed in on him and sliced the ugly bastard along his side dropping its health about 5% as he passed.
Naruto rolled back away from the rat to dodge the tail that swung rather suddenly like a whip. The rat turned around to look at Naruto again only to charge forward again.
Naruto repeated his roll slice and rolled away again. He didn't really have much ceiling clearance to be jumping around. In all this, the rat seemed to have a pattern and now Naruto had that pattern down pat.
It wasn't long before the rat was down to its last 25%.
The rat seemed to have lost its red aura and tried to run back to its hole.
"Oh no you don't," shouted Naruto. "Kunai Bukijutsu." He felt his arms strengthen instantly and pulled a second kunai and jumped forward driving both kunai as hard as he could into the back of the rat. One kunai went into its neck and the other into the head killing the rat finally.
