You have slept in your bed. HP & CP are fully restored.
Naruto woke up feeling refreshed from the night before if still a little annoyed by the results of the chakra control exercise. Even if it was a badass ability it still sucked that it did so very little for him. Naruto sat up and opened his inventory and pulled out the [Genin Team Tactics] skill book.
You've obtained skill book [Genin Team Tactics].
Would you like to learn the skill?
Naruto hit the 'Confirm (Y)' button.
You cannot learn skill.
Requires: WIS 40
Naruto groaned in irritation. He quickly calculated that he could gain two more bonus stat points through playing shogi with Shikamaru which meant he needed to put in four points into WIS to be able to learn it after he gain the bonus stat points. Naruto put the book away and added the points.
Then he sighed. "Time to get under way."
Naruto went through his morning routine then headed out the door.
Naruto met up with Shikamaru and Chouji once again but this time they focused on training for bonus stat points in the little time they had. Thankfully, Shikamaru was more than willing to put the time in playing shogi. He earned his points having played the longest games yet against Shikamaru. Sadly he didn't have enough time to work on any other points but he was happy all the same.
As soon as he got his two points he pull out the skill book again.
You've obtained skill book [Genin Team Tactics].
Would you like to learn the skill?
Naruto hit the button.
You've obtained the skill 'Genin Team Tactics'.

Passively increases WIS 12.5%
Naruto met up with his team at the Hokage tower, got another D-Rank mission. This time walking some of the Inuzuka dogs. This was followed by more running up and down trees. Sasuke was still struggling with it. Sakura was worn out by the time she finished about ten laps. Naruto was just getting skill experience.
However the three levels he gained to his [Tree Climbing] was worth all the effort. For every level he gained it increased the passive benefits by 1% each.
After the team broke up, Naruto headed back to the academy training field where he ran into Shikamaru and Chouji both hard at work which Naruto was only too happy to join in on.
"Well, according to my stats I've hit my cap, you guys?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah, a while ago," said Shikamaru.
"Me too," said Chouji.
"So now what? It's a bit late to try a training field."
"You got those books on affinities still?" asked Shikamaru.
"Yeah, they are back at my place though." Naruto answered, unsure if his friends would want to come to his place.
"Alright, let's go," said Shikamaru.
"We should get some food on the way there," suggested Chouji.
"Hell yeah, Ichiraku Ramen here we come," cheered Naruto, smiling from ear to ear.
The trio were soon happily sitting in Naruto's rundown apartment eating noodles.
"No offense, Naruto, but your place is kind of a shithole," said Shikamaru.
"Stupid landlord won't fix anything. Its cause of the damned Kyuubi," explained Naruto. "But my reputation with him has been improving. When the gamer thing first started he hated me now he's just unfriendly. A few more months and he should hit neutral then maybe I can get the ass to fix some shit around here."
"What do the reputations do for you anyway?" asked Chouji.
"I'm not completely sure. But like at Higurashi, I started at neutral but when I hit friendly the old man gave me a discount on his goods, and a bigger discount when I got to honored."
"Hmm, what does it say about me and Chouji?" asked Shikamaru.
"Let me check, I don't really pay much attention to it. I just know I get a lot rep from some of the stupid ass quests, not that it ever seems to do me much good. So let's see, reputation." Naruto opened the menu audibly so the guys could maybe see or if not just know that he'd opened it.
"It says you're both Honored with me. Shikamaru is 1200 out of 10000 and Chouji is 150 out of 10000."
"What about the other rookies?"
"Sakura and Sasuke are both unfriendly with me but they've been getting better because we're on a team and stuff. Hinata is honored 6500 out of 10000, no idea why that's so high and every time I try to talk to her she passes out or runs away. Kiba and Akamaru are both friendly with me. Ino and Shino are both neutral."
"Hmm, interesting," said Shikamaru.
"You have any idea why it's important?"
"It could have to do with the 'team' system or something to do with training maybe. I'm not really sure," said Shikamaru. "Time will tell. Anyway, let's see those books."
Naruto closed the window and went over to his small bookshelf and grabbed three books he'd gotten from the library, setting them on the table.
"Take your pick," said Naruto grabbing the top book titled simply 'The Elements'.
Shikamaru took the next 'Affinities and You' while Chouji reluctantly took the last book, 'Bakas guide to Chakra Affinities'.
