So, what can I say, the system is convenient, I realized it on the first day, when cleaning the apartment brought me +3 to strength, +5 to stamina and even +2 to dexterity (there were hard-to-reach places where you can't get through and, therefore, not wipe).

Also cleaning got me the skill, and no, not the trivial "cleaning" and "washing dishes" and all the other stuff I did back then. No, the system was either subverted or humorous, but I got the Butler skill.

Butler: During trivial household chores, without noticing it yourself, you look aloof and somewhat elegant. Your stingy movements and prim appearance can win over any aristocrat... well, or aristocratess. You are not yet experienced in your work, but you are already able to hold yourself like a real "John Bull".

You have a 0.5% chance of winning everyone over with your butler skills.

You clean 2% better than everyone else.

Your dishwashing is superior to mere amateurs by 2%.

Things in your hands launder better by 3%.

Your chance of meeting an Integra (or Alucard) is 0.00001%.

Spending time doing housework makes you 10% less tired.

But that's a shame I'd rather not talk about. I'll be honest, I even liked some of the bonuses, but man, is it just me, or is the system trying to subsume some of my skills under the banner of seducing Kaguya? Except, what am I going to clean up in a battle with her? Madara's leftovers? Or maybe watering down Zetsu?

I decided to see how much the system was affecting the world... it's just a pity I chose a method that was completely inadequate. But it's not surprising, with my intelligence parameter, and for some reason missing wisdom parameter, I wonder why I am still able to think!

Intelligence increased by 1.

No, the system's a joke. So, I decided to test the system's effect on me. What if it only displays actual achievements and has almost no effect on the real world? Taking a needle found at home and sanitized by me, I poke it into my finger. As expected, a unit of life was taken away. In real life, no matter how many times I poke my finger with a needle, it wouldn't kill me, so let's see what happens if I lower my HP with this method. So what, a simple and painless test.

That's what I thought at first, but after ten minutes, having knocked out three-fourths of my HP and struggling with regeneration, I felt, to put it mildly, not good. Not very bad. I also got the masochist skill, which I won't even argue with, and raised my stamina. But regeneration was not given, but poke myself with a needle until victory forces were no longer. Therefore, recognizing that the system has a direct influence on me, I put off this idea, and lay down, letting life recover.

Then I managed to create a skill by action, and the missing Observation, which could greatly facilitate my run on the first day, I also got quickly. But back to the skill, sometimes, in the evenings in the shelter I had a habit of humming something to myself under my nose, and here she brought me the skill Singing on the first night. In general, if it doesn't work out with shinobi profession, I'll go to singers, because I was actively developing the skill every night (it's such a tricky maneuver for the future, to charm Kaguya, yeah!), and with its growth singing turned out to be more and more pleasant.

In the first couple of days, I stocked up on custard noodles, which were the most I could buy on my rather poor allowance. I repent, but I couldn't resist and went a little overboard - I bought a couple kilos of carrots and the same amount of rice. And okay rice, there's a whole country named after it, and it's not that far away, but carrots... I was just tempted and decided to check how long they could be stored. Uh-huh, a preparation in case the Rabbit Goddess appears early. I've been sneaking around all over Konoha. Well, the parts that were open to me, and found a couple of unused or abandoned training grounds.

Except, given that the shadows weren't everywhere, I was still being noticed, especially by the shinobi, they clearly had the stealth resistance skill, too bad, but I couldn't see the others' skills yet, not at the same level of Observation.

In general, after the vendors tried to "scam" me for money twice, overpricing me, having smelled all the hatred of the other townspeople, which was vividly reflected in the looks thrown at me, and some of them on their faces, well, at least no one was willing to deviate from their routes for my sake, and to kick a demon. Yes, having received more than once bounces from shinobi running by (yeah, these step to me and give me a bounce - a moment, but after the mood is raised at those to exorbitant heights, as well, "caressed" the Spawn), I got another skill. And I pumped that one on the first day...

Cold Stare (4th level): If you could freeze or kill with your gaze, you would live surrounded by corpses and ice cream. But, alas, this is impossible, and you have to endure the presence of other intelligent beings. Every 5 skill levels give +1% to reputation growth for female and -1% for male.

I think I've made a mistake somewhere, and it's not my goal of becoming a cool shinobi and all... well, you know what I mean. It's the system's nasty covenant about one particular person that's slowly creeping up on me.

Having gone to an abandoned landfill with a river, I decided to fish there. The realization that there was nothing to catch came when I was standing over the water body. It is hard to live with low intelligence and no wisdom.

I decided to fix it, and at the same time, since I was at the firing range anyway, I started doing push-ups, combined with going over the multiplication table in my mind, and then the Mendeleev table. I was not a chemist, and here, with my intelligence reduced to the level of canonical Naruto, I couldn't be a chemist.

I realized that I had overdone it when my stamina hit rock bottom and I passed out right there on the bank of the river. But I did raise my intelligence a bit, and I hope it will help me survive the abuse of the system that oppresses me!

I woke up in the late afternoon, to the sound of my stomach. But I couldn't go home - my body ached terribly. But what did I want, first I loaded my body so much, and then I slept on the hard ground. The masochist skill, which had risen two levels, confirmed these thoughts, telling me who else could have done the same thing, except for a complete idiot and Naruto. I'm not sure who else would do the same, except for Naruto and a complete idiot.

I decided to soak and relax in the water, because it was the beginning of summer, and the climate here is mild, even a normal winter almost never happens. To be more precise, there are no winters at all, if it snows once in five years, everyone will be shocked. But even so, having tasted the water first with my hand, and having made sure that its temperature was acceptable, and I wouldn't boil or freeze (and in a shinobi village anything could happen, what if someone upstream was training a katon?), I threw off my clothes and somehow threw myself into the water. In my condition, these two simple actions made me feel like I'd been unloading railroad cars all day and now I was trying to do something else. The previous six years of quiet life on the outskirts of the city and passive way of life had come to an end.

Soaking in the water, and feeling my muscles release, I couldn't resist calling up the status.

Features and skills I did not look, I'll laugh later... I wanted to say, I'll read. So, what we have, per level I fully restore the parameters, I learned this when I handed in the very first task, the XP and stamina came to normal, but I did not give me anything else. And I have no experience for any actions yet. Characteristics do not grow with leveling up, only by training, but each level brings five free points. I hope that each, because so far there was no opportunity to check, for almost a week I got only one level, and that's it.

Yeah, I was hoping it would be better. I'm going to go to Ichiraku and see how I'll be received there. By the way, it's kind of surprising that so far no one has gone further than a slap on the wrist and an angry look\physiognomy. Really, a smack from a shinobi was as good as a full-fledged punch from my peer, at least, it felt close. So, feet in hand and let's go get some food.
