*Yawn*

Currently, in class, Yasuo was extremely bored. The reason? He already knew and understood everything that was being taught. The subject was about history, boring history. Nothing about Madara and Hashirama's great deeds, nothing about wars or battles, nothing about the building of the hidden villages. No, only plain history about some random guy who managed to capture some other random guy.

He already knew all this, dammit! All this is so boring!

The teacher of the class, from what I have seen and heard around the school, was apparently a Nara. Cool. He has a ponytail, like most other members, cool beard, good intellect, and... that's pretty much it. Unlike Shikaku-san who was lazy to an unreachable extent, he was quite a workaholic. Well, more of, he made us study too hard, than he himself working hard.

Speaking of Shikaku-san, he is a good person! Though unbelievably lazy, he can be quite the reliable guy for things such as buying training equipment and... buying training equipment... huh. Well, I'll just keep going with the train here, with this inner monologue, since of course, the mighty me, has nothing to do!

"Yasuo! Answer question #3!"

'Oh, you son of a bitc-'

We were now talking about the Uchiha Clan, for your information. No idea when that started. Anyways, there was a question on the chalkboard which said the following: 'how did the Uchiha and Senju finally end their war?' We were talking about my own clan and they expect me to not know the answer!

"Hai sensei!" I started as I stand from my seat. "The leaders of their clans back then, and even now, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, had decided to make an alliance with one another after much conflict due to the Uchiha being moved by Hashirama's resolve and purpose of peace. After, the leaders had both renewed the friendship they had with one another previously, and created a hidden village called Konohagakure no Sato, with the cause, where children would never have the need to die in battle."

The teacher, don't know his first name, I was honestly too focused on training before, opened his mouth to say something. However, I continue with my unwanted rambling: "They had eventually created the village that they had in mind, having the Hokage mountain have both their faces to represent that they had BOTH made this village, instead of just the current Hokage, Hashirama-sama. Aft-"

"STOP, STOP! That's enough Yasuo-kun," said the teacher, as he put his hands up like a gesture of surrender. "Alright class, now, onto the next question..."

I didn't listen in after that and went back to my inner monologue about my fellow classmates. I would always just keep an ear out just in case though, 'cause I want to graduate after all.

Jiraiya... is very interesting, to say the least. He has a lot of perverted tendencies which I personally hate because of him always trying to, hmm, what was that term Vyra-chan used again? Oh! Always trying to 'hit' on her. Don't understand why she said 'hit', but I won't question it, she is my adorable little twin sister after all.

If you look past all the weird and somewhat creepy parts of his character, what you get is a cool guy who does his best. I would ask him to train with me... but I already tried, and when the time came and I and Vyra-chan were at the training grounds, all he did was stare at Vyra-chan! I found this creepy and annoying. Not annoyed because he was staring at Vyra-chan like a goddess, but annoyed because he wouldn't train with me!

-Flashback- (3rd Person POV or Author :D)

"Let's go Jiraiya-kun!" Yasuo said with excitement at the prospect of training with yet another person. However, this person was currently... staring at Vyra with perverted eyes. "Hey, hey! Jiraiya-kun!"

Then, Jiraiya snapped out of his daze, realizing his fault, but not the least embarrassed. Who would be embarrassed staring at such a beautiful young lady? Well, lots of people, but that's beside the point.

"L-let's go Vyra-chan!" Jiraiya said nervously.

Yasuo tilted his head in confusion. 'Why did he say Vyra instead of me?' But shrugged it off. Looking at Vyra, Yasuo noticed a slight hint of disdain and annoyance in her eyes, but that soon changed to delight once looking at himself, making him even more confused and for Jiraiya, sad, as Vyra was completely ignoring him.

Jiraiya seemed to soon gain back his fighting spirit, looking at Yasuo with the fervor of rivalry for little cute Vyra-chan's affections, though he knew he would lose in all aspects. He did have one idea in mind, and that is the old classic falling in love with savior play! Though it would not be able to happen soon, he was determined to have it become reality in the future. Perhaps the two would be in the same team as genins, and he would be able to do so when she was in danger in a dangerous mission.

Little did Jiraiya know, she was probably the strongest one out of all three of them, Yasuo included. Surprise? Not for Yasuo, as she IS a goddess and he already guessed divine beings get some sort of bonus like incredible talent or just straightforward power. But another guess was the wish he wanted to be granted.

The wish he had used to have Vyra come with him did not say anything about her being weakened or anything of the sort. Merely just coming with him to another universe does not have the definite cause of making one weaker, especially for a goddess of any kind, even a lesser one. This was what he theorized, but had no idea if it was true or just a theory. Also, with the fact that to be able to make this theory true, he would have to put someone important to her in danger to have her release her power, he definitely would not want to test this theory, ever.

Anyhow, Yasuo assumed that Jiraiya had a random spurt of competitive spirit due to being able to train or rather, spar, with him, and quickly led the group to his usual training grounds.

Along the way, Jiraiya had done nothing but continued to blankly stare at Vyra the entire time. This had made things rather awkward for the group, even if Yasuo wanted to talk to Jiraiya, he could not as Jiraiya pretty much entirely ignored his presence, which in turn annoyed Vyra that Jiraiya was ignoring her beloved Onii-chan.

This made Vyra ignore any of Jiraiya's attempts on talking to her and everything went downhill from there. There was no talking the last few minutes of traveling, which was one of the factors for the awkward situation.

Now, clear all thoughts about the previous scene. We're going to the fighting part!

Wait... where's the fighting part?

Jiraiya now had his face planted into the ground in daze...

When the spar started, Yasuo noticed Jiraiya was still staring at Vyra, no stance, no aura, nothing that usually happened when one was preparing for a serious spar. But, Yasuo thought that there was a purpose for this, perhaps a new form that only had openings and when one stroke, the user would then parry and counter.

Yasuo grinned at that thought.

'Jiraiya-kun must be great at sparring!'

He was the first to start, dashing towards his opponent and drew up a fist, ready to strike once parried. However, what he expected did not happen, in fact, nothing happened and his fist landed squarely on top of his stomach.

And thus, it ended into this situation where Yasuo didn't get any training, Jiraiya was probably unconscious, and Vyra was just annoyed...

-Flashback End- (1st Person POV)

'Hmmm, I really do need a training partner. Ah! Shisui-san might do!... actually no, scrap that, I need someone at my level so I could work on my foundations.'

{[All Around Shop] can be bought with 1,000,000 Points!}

'Hmm? [All Around Shop]? Oh! A.M., is there something like a trainer sorta thing I could buy in the [Shop]?'

{Anything could be bought in the [All Around Shop], Host}

'Then go ahead!'

[Ding! Host has bought [Shop]. Host can access [All Around Shop] in [Store]

Points Left: 167,000 Points]

Oh right, the points. It really helps when your entire family, Shisui and Kumiko included, wants you to cook for them 24/7. I got lots of points and levels for [Cooking] doing that. My [Cooking] skill is now [Lvl. 16]! That's a whole 80% bonus for all dishes! Also, when the skill reached [Lvl. 15], I could turn off both or either of the appearance and deliciousness of any dish I make.

This means that I could turn off the appetizing part and just leave on deliciousness, and something that looks like rainbow-colored slime that looks abnormally similar to vomit could taste like the best thing you have eaten in your entire life.

'A.M. how much for a training partner?'

[Auto Adjustment Trainer] (Item) - 400,000 Points

'Hmm, I need to cook some more food when I go back home.' Yasuo thought, planning out his method to get the number of points needed to buy the trainer.

___

The history class soon ended without any further hiccups and the next class after that was something even more boring, which apparently was started by Shisui, thanks a lot Shisui! Anyways, this class was called 'Comprehension Class'.

Nice title right? When you think of the word, 'comprehension', you might think of something in the lines of comprehending the concepts of [Ninjutsu] or [Genjutsu]. [Taijutsu] was the topic covered mostly in Danzō-sensei's class, sometimes we would change it up.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand. This class, to sum it up, it just another history class...

Soooo, I'll just break the fourth wal-... what?

Oh, we're now in Danzō-sensei's class, the last one, the most important one, the one that is the longest, and most importantly, the one that is literal torture in that 'hell' area underground that everyone likes to hate, for some reason unknown to me.

The class starts with some simple training. A bit of weights that weigh around a ton or two, simple, not too bad. Heck, I even put on [2x Gravity] to make it harder for me, though it does seem like some of my fellow peers are falling onto the ground in mere seconds. They need to have more willpower!

Like Might Duy-kun says, 'THE POWER OF YOUTH!' is quite fitting for this situation, as we are young and young people are more 'hyper' as they say, and have more willpower! Though, they seem to be disproving that little theory of mine. [Endurance] had gone up by 1 to [106] surprisingly, and [Agility] went up by 1, too, to [122].

The next training we did was what we did every day that we had Danzō-sensei. This routine consisted of us continuously wasting our [Chakra] and trying to better control the [Chakra] so that it uses less and less every time. This exercise was one of the hardest in the class, if it wasn't for my cheaty skill, [Chakra Control], which by the way was now at [Lvl. 49], I probably would have very slow progress like the rest of my class, excluding Orochimaru-chan, because he's a genius.

We did this routine for several minutes, repeating the same thing over and over again, some having already passed out from the chakra exhaustion and some still standing strong. This was what we did every day, and most of my classmates, again, are having very little progress. Danzō-sensei doesn't even help us with this, just spectates us with a cold expression, like everything was going to his plan (keikaku).

After waking up the passed out students, we move onto the [Taijutsu] part. In this, each of us personally spars Danzō-sensei until we fall to the ground either panting like crazy or out cold. Unlike the regular routine we do, a lot of us have actually made progress with this method of training. Many probably realize their mistakes once getting beat down an inch of their life, having things go into muscle memory and after that, instincts come through and help us improve.

This part lasts for quite a while until we move onto a new subject, and it was actually a 'new' subject. This time, we were going to practice a new jutsu! This jutsu was called the [Clone Jutsu], which was performed by using hand seals (A/N: I'm going to change [Handsigns] to [Hand Seals]) in the order of Ram, Snake and finally, Tiger.

The [Clone Jutsu] is a ninjutsu that creates an intangible copy of one's own body, without any substance. The clone itself cannot attack, and thus it can only be used to confuse the enemy.

Danzō-sensei used the [Clone Jutsu] and due to my [Knowledge] skill, it allowed me to use the jutsu with the same proficiency he showed. This also means that if one was intentionally being terrible at something, [Knowledge] would only record that, not the person's total proficiency.

[Clone Jutsu]: Active - Lvl. 16 -

[Creates an intangible copy of one's own body, without any substance]

[Creates a physical copy of one's own body, able to perform any of the main body's abilities] (Locked until Lvl. 50 and will replace the previous active)

Danzō-sensei told us each to try and was surprisingly patient with it. He actually gave us some advice for once, though it wasn't helpful at all... The only ones who were able to use the [Clone Jutsu] were me, Vyra-chan, Orochimaru-chan, and somehow Jiraiya-kun. To be fair, Shisui-san has told me that Jiraiya-kun has much potential and phenomenal chakra control for his age, though he is bit perverted... and creepy, and weird, and... I'll stop.

Danzō-sensei praised us!

What a day.

This is not a dream, right?

*Pinch*

NOPE DEFINITELY NOT!

Anyways, he used the [Body Flicker Technique] and left with a cloud of smoke. Thanks to [Knowledge], I had gotten jutsu and to use it, I had to use a Tiger seal. Oh, I forgot to mention I now have the [Hand Seals] skill, too.

[Body Flicker Technique]: Active - Lvl. 3 -

[A high-speed movement technique]

[Hand Seals]: Passive - Lvl. 23 -

[Preform [Hand Seals] 23% faster]

Huh, apparently Danzō-sensei is not very good at the [Body Flicker Technique]... or it's just that he's barely trying...

Vyra-chan and I come out of the classroom and I see Shisui-san waiting for us to pick us up. Normally it would be mother, but it seems like she is busy, which also usually means that father is busy as well. Though, I don't really mind having Shisui-san walk us back home.

Shisui notices us two and walks toward our direction, waving his hand to gain our attention. Vyra finally notices him and runs up to him for a hug. She now does that frequently with Shisui-san, almost as if he was her adopted father or something alike.

I reach the two and we started walking home at a slow pace. In the meantime, I was looking at the [Monthly Rotation] and something caught my eye...

~[Monthly Rotation]~

[Rhythm Echo] (Active Skill) - 40,000 Points

[Aura (Colourless)] (Active Skill) - 80,000 Points

[Dream of Alice] (Active Skill) - 8,000,000 Points

[World Token] (Item) - 10,000,000 Points

[Random Summon] (Item) (Treasure - Sovereign) - 50,000 Points

[Random Ability] (Item) (Treasure - Sovereign) - 50,000 Points

One thing that I have noticed with the [Monthly Rotation] is that there is always the [Random Gacha Tokens] and the [World Token] in the [Rotation]. Another is that the [Random Gacha Tokens] would always switch every month to [Ability], [Item] and [Summon].

Now, onto the thing that caught my attention. The item was the [Random Summon] token. Compared to the other tokens, the [Summon] token was extremely rare, I have only seen it 4 times so far in my 54 months of living in this universe.

So, without further to do, A.M., get the [Random Summon]!

[Ding! Host has obtained the item, [Random Summon]!

Points Left: 117,000 Points!]

Alright, now...

"Hey Shisui-san, Vyra-chan, I'm gonna go to the forest to summon something," I said with a smile. A.M. has said this before, though I never mentioned it. Shisui and Vyra can also access my [Inventory], though they cannot use anything nor take anything out. The reason why they are able to do so is, according to my reliable source, A.M., the former being my summon who is able to connect to A.M's system, and the latter, being my [Companion] and the small fact that she was a goddess.

[Companions], according to A.M., were people that trusted me with their lives apparently, and I had to trust them as well. And thus, through accepting them in something called a [Request] that I have to say 'yes' or 'no' to, they become my [Companion].

There were benefits for both sides when one becomes my [Companion]. I'll talk about the other party first. Again, they gain access to VIEW my [Inventory], they are able to [Level Up] by defeating enemies, they are able to participate in my [Quests] and gain rewards from completing them. They can also gain [Skills], how I have no clue, and lastly, a new feature is that they are able to use at most [10,000 Points] in the [All Around Shop], monthly, unless I make it so that they are unable to do so, of course.

The [Summoned] also have similar benefits, however, even if they participate and complete a [Quest], all the rewards will go to me. Also, they are not able to use any of my [Points], unless I let them spend it, which I, of course, will let Shisui-san do whatever he wants with my [Points].

The 'benefits' I get from making someone my [Companion] is that, they will never betray me.

That was it.

It might seem kinda 'meh' since you already trust each other, but in some situations where my [Companion] one day joins my enemy per se, then I would know that, that person did not actually betray me, which is a nice feature...

"Sure Onii-chan, but be back for dinner!" Vyra says while happily skipping towards our home, she probably wants more of my cooking. Is it really that great?

"Please be safe, young master." Shisui bows and hurries to catch up with Vyra.

Now that they left, I used the [Mystery] effect of [Knowledge and Mystery] to shroud my existence, those who had seen me in the past minute will completely forget about me, and those who will see me in the future will not see nor feel my presence at all.

I headed towards the forest and stopped nearby a small river. Even with [Mystery] on, the person or even thing I summon would not already have the [Mystery] effect on, so I look around my surroundings and thankfully found no one nearby.

I took a deep breath, chanting my mantra of luck that I have just created, and prepared to use the [Random Summon] token.

'Alright A.M., use it!'

[Ding! Using [Random Summon]...]
