I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

This is definitely not acceptable.

Shigure looked at the skills that could be added.

"School-level physical skills!"

This must be the taijutsu I learned at the ninja academy!

If you incorporate physical techniques, you should be able to continuously enhance your physical abilities!

Activating a passive skill slot once is equivalent to training once, so the effect of adding school-level physical techniques should be more than just enhancing one's physical abilities.

[Passive Skill: School-Level Physical Skills]

[Passive Skill - Chakra Refinement]

[Running]

However, I just added physical skills to my passive skill bar.

In just over ten seconds, the system notification appeared.

[Passive skill completes one cycle]

Immediately afterwards, Shigure felt as if the cells in her body had suddenly caught fire, but this feeling was fleeting.

Shigure knew perfectly well what caused this feeling.

Isn't that the feeling you get when your body breaks through its limits and you keep going during physical training?

And each time this feeling occurs, it means that one's power has increased a little more.

At the same time, the body will become stronger, and physical fitness, speed, and strength will all be increased.

However, compared to cultivating chakra, cultivating taijutsu is much more difficult.

Shigure seems to have a pretty good talent for taijutsu, ranking about average in the Ninja Academy!

Of course, it might also be because the limit of chakra training is too easy to reach, so Shigure can only focus his training on taijutsu when he has extra time.

Even though Shigure persisted, she still couldn't reach the level of Xiao Li's abnormality.

It's clear that while Lee may not have a talent for ninjutsu, his talent for taijutsu is absolutely phenomenal.

But now with the passive skill bar, you can break through your physical limits every ten seconds or so, although each time it increases only a little bit.

But I am constantly making breakthroughs, and if I continue to improve like this, reaching Xiao Li's level will not be difficult at all!

Moreover, as physical fitness improves, the body's energy will undoubtedly increase as well.

It's just a matter of how much. People with exceptional talent experience a significant increase in physical strength and energy, while others might only see a slight increase.

However, with the existence of passive skill slots, even a small amount can be amplified infinitely.

As long as one lives long enough, it is not impossible to become a god even through physical means!

Taijutsu can enhance physical fitness, strength, and speed, thereby increasing the body's energy. Therefore, chakra refining techniques can be even more effective.

I need to increase my mental energy!

What can be used to increase mental energy?

"Illusion?"

The only method Shigure could think of was illusion.

But I don't know illusion magic!

I do know how to break the illusion!

When you go to school on Monday, you might ask your teacher if they can teach you a simple illusion spell!

Or... ask those uncles from Moonlight's clan for help.

Shigure doesn't require any advanced illusions; a simple one will suffice.

I just wanted to try and see if I could increase my mental energy through illusion.

"Hmm... Let's not delay, let's go now!"

Shigure couldn't wait any longer.

Today is Saturday, and some of those who live paycheck to paycheck might be on holiday at home.

After quickly tidying up, I prepared to head out, and decided to leave the skill bar set up as is for the Shigure skill.

The passive effects of six chakra refining techniques and one taijutsu passive effect.

Improving chakra is Shigure's primary task now, and he also needs to catch up in terms of physical condition.

As for other ninjutsu, Shigure doesn't know any of them!

The only ninjutsu I know, Escape, isn't urgent right now!

Let's get our hands on the illusion magic first.

Shigure's residence was not far from the Moonlight Clan.

Small Konoha clans like the Moonlight Clan don't have their own clan territory, but the residences of clan members are usually connected and not too far apart.

Shigure originally planned to go to the home of another Chunin uncle from the Gekko clan, since he had taken good care of her.

But when he passed by the door of another member of his clan.

Just then, the door opened, and there was someone inside.

The other person called out to Shi Yu.

"Shiyu, what are you going to do?"

Chapter 6 The True Protagonist of Shippuden

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment by the family in front of her.

He lives in Moonlight Gale and is currently considered the most successful member of the Moonlight Clan in Konoha.

However, he was just a Jonin, and a Special Jonin at that.

"Shigure, are you going to see Uncle Masano?"

Gekko Hayate, who was eating breakfast in the living room, looked at Shigure outside the door.

"Ok!"

"Uncle Zhengye is on a mission today. What do you want to see him about?"

Have they gone on a mission?

I wonder if Moonlight Gale would be willing to teach me a simple illusion technique. Does he even know illusion techniques?

Even though a Special Jonin may not have fully reached the level of a Jonin, surely they can still perform a simple genjutsu!

Shigure looked at the moonlight and the swift wind before her.

"Brother Jifeng, I want to find Uncle Zhengye and ask him to teach me a simple illusion technique!"

"I'm about to graduate and become a genin, but I don't even know a single genjutsu. I'm thinking of learning one to better understand genjutsu so that I won't be helpless when I encounter enemies who are proficient in genjutsu in the future!"

graduate?

Jifeng was taken aback. So fast?

It's true that it's graduation season now, and Shigure is indeed at the age of graduation.

Moonlight Gale put down his breakfast and then thought for a moment.

He wasn't very familiar with his cousin Shigure, but he remembered that Shigure's parents had died because of the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack.

Over the years, it has been Uncle Masano and his family who have taken care of Shigure.

However, this kid's ninja talent isn't that great; it's questionable whether he can even graduate from the ninja academy smoothly.

"Come in!"

"Yes!"

Shi Yu took off her shoes and went inside.

Then, sitting down opposite Hayate, Moonlight Hayate casually asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"have eaten!"

"Ok!"

Jifeng looked Shigure up and down. Compared to the previous times they had met, Shigure seemed more energetic and confident now!

The changes, while not drastic, are not insignificant either.

Confidence is a given; it would be strange not to be confident when you have a system.

"Not bad, it seems that your time at the Ninja Academy has made you much more energetic!"

Shigure didn't feel much about Gekko Hayate's approval.

Shiyu was already quite pretty, but now with added confidence, she looks even more sunny and energetic.
