Naruto looked at the Path Menu in interest. "Huh? Why did Genjutsu grey out?" He taps it in curiosity.

[Genjutsu: Locked]

Users will not be able to access this tree unless through exceptional circumstances due to natural barriers.

Genjutsu skills can still be learned; casting accuracy and performance are reduced in conjunction with the ratio between [Chakra] and [Chakra Control].

Naruto looks at this in disappointment but ultimately decides to disregard it. Illusions weren't really his thing in the first place. He decides to take a look at Taijutsu before looking at the recommendations.

Instead of a text prompt like he expected, a guidebook appeared. Surprised, Naruto struggles with it in the air before catching it firmly. Sighing in relief, Naruto inspects the cover of the book. The book looks ordinary without defining marks beside the title, Training Foundation.

Opening the book, Naruto takes a peek.

"What the heck! It's just a bunch of exercises. I could find this at the library if I wanted to. This stinks!" Naruto groans in much displeasure but continues to read through it. While there were terms he couldn't understand very well, he still got the gist.

"Well...it's not totally useless. I don't have a trainer or anything, so it's better than nothing." The book contained exercises for all the muscle groups and specific katas. The blonde still looks disappointed, but after reading some of the points made in the book, he couldn't say it's wrong.

After wondering where he should store the book so it wouldn't be vandalized by his "visitors," the book disappears into motes of lights. Naruto nearly jumps in surprise. "Woah! Did it go back on the screen?"

He presses the Taijutsu screen again to see if it comes back, and it does.

"Awesome! A free sealing scroll!" The excitement backs down, and Naruto looks at the other categories in the path menu.

Naruto's level of excitement starts to leave his face, and disbelief replaces it.

"Why are the requirements so high?" A prompt appears.

[Path Menu]

Only one Nin-Category, Bloodline, and Talent are received as rewards at milestones. Any other option has requirements to be fulfilled, special mission, or materials needed.

Recommended options are given as the most beneficial for your path. The benefits are shown in each options tab.

"Oh, thank Kami. I thought I wouldn't ever be able to get any of them." Just thinking about the requirements for the dojutsus made him shiver. Dojutsus was scary.

Naruto takes a look back at the recommended options for more detailed observations.

[Yin-Yang]

Yin-Yang is the element of balance. Be it Mind and Body. Light and Darkness. Weakness and Strength. One cannot exist without the other.

Recommendation: Fix the imbalance within your body.

Increased effect towards training opposite elements

+50% effectiveness of Yin-Yang skills

+50% resistance to Yin-Yang skills

[Dead Bone Pulse]

Bloodline of the Kaguya allows the user to use their own bones as weapons or armor.

Recommendation: Increased bone density will allow the user to withstand more training and damage and fulfill requirements for certain Taijutsu.

Bone Weapons

Bone Armor

Bone Skills

[Gate Master]

Gain an affinity towards the Eight Gates.

Recommendation: Decrease the difficulty of opening the gates and reduce the injuries incurred.

Increased durability of bones and musculature.

+100% training effectiveness towards Strength and Vitality

Naruto was practically drooling. "This looks AWESOME! Yin-Yang doesn't make much sense, but it sounds cool! And the bone armor! That has to look sick!" Then, Naruto stopped to think. "Wait, if it's using my bones to make the armor and weapons, doesn't that mean...." His face started to turn green at the thought. He shook his head free from those thoughts. Yeah, let's leave them for another day.

Naruto looked at the Ninjutsu tab and thought about how he should go about opening his natural affinity. The requirements are by far the easiest to unlock. A material called "Chakra Paper" was needed for this, and while he had no clue where to find it, he didn't think none of the shinobi shops would have it. The only problem would be getting one. Most products sold by shinobi shops are restricted to civilians, especially kids.

"Ugh...I just can't catch a break with anything, can I? Oh well, no use moping about it like Sasuke-Teme. I have a teacher now! Or is it more like a guidebook? Manual? Whatever, all that matters is that I'm getting stronger!" Naruto opens his stat menus to see the changes.

Bio: Naruto is a lonely orphan that dreams of being Hokage and having the respect of everyone in the village. His life is shrouded in mysteries that are just waiting to be uncovered.

Naruto looks at his stats in contemplation. "Where should I put my stat points? Vitality and Intelligence seem to rise much faster, so I'll hold off on those. Ah, I'll think about it tomorrow. All this thinking is making my brain hurt."

The blonde child starts to get ready for bed. His thoughts go out to how his days will be from now on.

"Things are going to get interesting."

Very Next Morning

"NARUTO!"

"AGH!" Interesting indeed.
