[Ding! Reward will be granted!]
[Foundation of Swordsmanship
-User will be granted the pinnacle of foundation and potential in the art of swordsmanship.]
I arrived back home and studied the reward the system gave me
"Swordsmanship huh, seems good. Not gonna complain with some additional arsenal."
I claimed my reward, and immediately my body began to undergo a slight change. With the foundation of a swordsmanship, what will the use of the sword be if one's own body can't handle it?
[Ding! Integration finished!

I looked at my status panel and nodded in satisfaction
'Not too shabby if I say so'
"It will probably take around a month to settle the new batch of kids that will enter the academy. I'll make use of that time to train."
'There's plenty of jutsu scrolls that my parents left for me, that should suffice for me to learn later down the line. Other than training, I can't really do much while I'm still this young. For now, I'll train my body and master some existing external skills like my taijutsu and in projectile throwing, learning different jutsus and picking up a sword can wait for a bit after building a clean foundation for myself first.'
Soon, I started to train my body physically. Doing a variety of exercise that will break and rebuild my body anew, especially with the aid of chakra in this world, my physique will really implode soon with a constant flow of energy source that's repairing my body with every muscle tear.
I also made time to practice taijutsu. Your taijutsu efficiency directly correlates with your physique, which is logical. Look at both the bushy brows, their intensely trained bodies was enough for them to be a part and to fight in the fourth great ninja war. Not to mention the contribution they displayed as well.
I also moved on in projectile throwing to end my training for today. With the help of my decision eye, my mastery with this became even more apparent, even an uchiha would never show early signs of mastery in this category.

[At Dawn.]
"Hmm, are what they saying actually true?"
Mumbled Hiruzen, as he was examining the report of every kid that are eligible to enter the academy. All of their scores and remarks from the examiners laid out in front of his desk, and all of their background and some additional information as well
"It seems this batch of children can certainly use some nurturing..."
Hiruzen said, going through the papers and noting some of the clan children that were apart, and as well as some other individuals that showed potential
"But this one kid that they keep on mentioning... This Kazekai Tensho... Are they exaggerating?"
Hiruzen plopped the papers to the side except for the kid named Kazekai Tensho, and started to closely read it once again. The information gathered here were a bit extreme, especially for a newly fresh kid applying for the academy.
"Showing a very high aptitude for chakra, maybe even potentially more. Flaring his chakra that the amount can be relative or maybe even to multiple capable Jonins, and even beating one of the chunin examiners in a sparring match... One-sidedly"
Hiruzen couldn't quite take all of this kid's feats to heart just yet, because what 5 year old can even do this? In Hiruzen's knowledge, not even Hashirama or Madara possess such monstrous potential and raw talent at 5 years old.
Suddenly, Hiruzen went towards his background information and noted the contents.
'His parents died during the accident 5 years ago... I see, so that's his situation'
Hiruzen then laid the paper down and stood up, grabbing his pipe as he got out from his office to the balcony at the very top. Looking at the skies as he puffed his pipe, overseeing the village that has been through hell and back.
"Your sacrifices will not be in vain, your child shows potential that might either reshape the world for better... Or for worse"
Hiruzen mumbled, having a strange feeling about that kid Kazekai. He can't put his finger on it, but he has an inkling feeling for some reason.
"…Ah, I'm getting old… at this rate, I'll start suspecting every toddler in the village".
===
"That's enough training for today"
I mumbled, feeling the slight improvement of strength after my training.
'I wonder if there's a max level to the skills I have... If so, then on god's green earth I'll max everything out'
"And also, this decision eye of mine... It seems that with it, my chakra control is pretty much perfect. Since it shows and guides me on how to mold the precise amount of chakra I need, and not just the action but other minute details necessary to perform said action in a state of perfectness".
"And also... It can probably copy techniques as well. Though I'm not sure the extent to which what it can copy, but with it's properties, it should be possible because it gives the necessary action that I want to do in order for me to reach my desired outcome"
"Hey system, can my decision eye copy? If so, then can you provide an explanation for it on how exactly?"
[Sure! And yes, your eye can copy anything that it sees. How it works is simple, just like how you activite the eye through your intent, this is how it works as well. After seeing a technique, your eye perfectly captures that moment, and if your intent was to copy that, then the eye will show you the perfect and necessary actions that will lead you to executing said technique flawlessly.]
The system explained thoroughly, and I nodded.
"Then that makes things much more... Fun".
I mumbled, as out of habit, I released a sly and creepy smile. Then one second later I shooked it off, slapping my cheeks to calm myself.
"Don't get too hard now. It's about to be night time, I should prepare for dinner"
I then started to prepare for the rest of the night, awaiting what the future might hold for me and what changes might appear because of my existence here in this world.

[The Next Day]
I woke up bright and early. Standing up and doing some light stretches, and noticing immediately a very vibrant vitality that I was feeling.
Compared to the somewhat sore state I was in yesterday from my training, today it seemed to be completely non-existent. As if my body adapted to the minor inconvenience
Staring at my hands, I clenched them into a fist instinctively. Feeling the change that my body was showing me as I smiled.
'This feels amazing, chakra really is out of this world... Well, it basically is so to speak, but still'.
I thought, as I decided to have a quick breakfast before starting my day.
I didn't really felt the need for rushing things for some reason, even knowing the story of this world. The dangers that will present itself soon, and even threats that will affect the existence of everyone in this planet.
All of those things together, it didn't really gave me a sense of urgency. I almost felt laid back. Maybe because I felt that I already fulfilled my existence, already living through a life back in my universe, albeit it was short-handed but still, I felt like I already served my purpose to live
And now given this second chance at life, in a world where this world was created back at my own world. I felt like there's no need to push things too much or too fast
Though whatever the reason is, I felt... Free, now. Which I would gamble to be the best thing that has happened to my lives so far.
Soon, I finished my breakfast containing eggs and meat with a deep, thoughtful monologue of my existence
I quickly cleaned up and went outside, the sun was just starting to rise, as a new day officially started for me here in this world
"Surprisingly, there's no kunai or shuriken that my parents left. I should stockpile on some"
I went back inside and got some money, and using the memories of this previous body's host, I walked my way towards the closest weapon shop there is.
