"Right." Naruto agreed with a nod before dispelling the clone that Sakura had been practising on. Suddenly he was bombarded with a phantom sensation of unease, images of being surrounded in thick mist with only vague figures and shapes discernable around him. The images stopped a second later, though the sense of unease remained for a few minutes, along with a minor headache.
Then a new set of screens popped up in front of his nose.
As a result of exposure to multiple weak Area of Effect sight-interfering genjutsu in a short period of ti, the Skill [Minor Ocular Genjutsu Resistance: Blur] has been created! Due to the number of tis you or your Shadow Clone was exposed to it in such a short period of ti, the skill starts at Level 2!
[Minor Ocular Genjutsu Resistance: Blur] (Passive) [LV2, 0%]
A vast majority of genjutsu work by primarily targeting a victim’s sense of sight and distorting it with various effects. Sotis, this involves making the target unable to see via blurring their surroundings. This skill improves your ability to resist the effects of such an illusion while under it, but does nothing to prevent you from being influenced by it in the first place.
- Increases chances of seeing through a Blur-type genjutsu by 2%.
"Ow." Naruto droned dully, massaging the bridge of his nose. "Jeez, Sakura-chan, just how many tis did you cast that genjutsu on my clone? Its mories are full of nothing but being surrounded by that creepy mist."
"That’s what it was there for, Naruto." the pinkette huffed in annoyance.
"Yeah, but you could have given it a break instead of casting the damned jutsu on it as soon as it faded." Naruto rubbed his head, wishing there was a ’headache resistance’ skill of so kind.
"Kid’s got a fair point Sakura." Asuma agreed. "Rember that your teammate is helping you with this of his own free will, so show him so rcy next ti."
"Yes sensei." agreed Sakura, blushing slightly.
On releasing Ino’s clone, Naruto was again assaulted with a phantom ill feeling, this ti accompanied by flashes of himself sinking into the ground as everything around him started to blur together.
Luckily there was no headache with this one, though he did get another skill alert.
As a result of being subjected to nurous uses of a balance-disturbing genjutsu in a short period of ti, the Skill [Imbalance Correction] has been created! Due to the number of tis you or your Shadow Clone was exposed to it in such a short period of ti, the skill starts at Level 2!
[Imbalance Correction] (Passive) [LV2, 0%]
The balance of a human, in motion or stationary, cos from many factors, including their height relative to sea level, the amount of oxygen available, the footing they possess and other physiological and geographic factors. This skill grants the user the ability to automatically correct for small amounts of imbalance when their sense of balance is negatively affected.
- Grants a 2% correction when the user’s balance is negatively affected.
As they departed, Naruto made a quick excuse about having to see Iruka-sensei about sothing, before heading off on his own and making his way toward the Hokage’s tower. As he approached, he was greeted with the sight of Team 7 leaving the tower, all three covered in scratches and looking particularly dishevelled and unamused.
Naruto rely raised a bemused eyebrow, wondering what the heck had caused that.
"Hey, Jiji, what’s with Sasuke’s lot? They look like they lost a fight with an angry, thorny bush." he called as he sauntered into the office of his surrogate grandfather.
"They were assigned the Tora Retrieval Mission today." Sarutobi replied in amusent. "Tora runs away from her master every other day, making it a regular mission on the Konoha roster. Quite an infamous one as well, as Tora is fast, cunning and fights like a devil rather than get caught. Nowadays, the mission is seen as a bit of a rite of passage or test for young Genin teams."
Naruto sweat-dropped at the sheer desperation implied by the tactics used by the cat. "She must really hate her owner."
"Madam Shijimi is a lovely woman, who unfortunately tends to be a bit...overly affectionate with Tora." the Hokage offered delicately, not wanting to insult an important patron. "Anyway, is this about...?"
The boy nodded, making the Hokage quickly activate the room’s security seals before motioning for Naruto to explain.
"Your power stopped ti and let you select the missions that you undertook today?" Sarutobi whistled as the young Genin finished recounting the events of this morning. "That seems to be...quite the power you have there. Do you believe it will activate every ti that you co here for a mission?"
"I think so." Naruto replied with a shrug. "No way of being certain other than by coming back tomorrow. At least the mission rewards are pretty good; I got a new skill scroll from the dog walking mission; [Beast Taming]."
"Have you looked into it yet?" The Professor asked curiously. Honestly, Naruto’s unique ability was an intriguing mystery, and it was one that Hiruzen was honestly enjoying helping the boy piece together.
