After everything that happened, there were many things Tanaka would like to comment on. One of them was the skill he unlocked, 'Favorable Probabilities'.
Although it was a passive skill, something beyond his control, it gave him a very good feeling. After all, having things favorable to him also meant that if he tried to create something, the chances were higher.
As an Uzumaki, although it wasn't his strong suit before, maybe it's a good choice to start focusing on the path of creating 'Explosive Talismans', etc.
Anything related to creation could be a favorable option for him.
Of course, he was also happy with the increasing number of skills he acquired in his arsenal. Just looking at the new 7 skills, although he could already use one of them, at least it would be useful, as it was something he hadn't yet turned into a skill.
Opening the inventory, he clicked on one of the skill books and tried to learn it.

Surprised, he also tried to learn the 'Net Throwing' skill. However, the same thing happened and when he tried the 'Puppeteer' skill, something similar happened, but it required something he possessed.

'I feel like my mind is full of new information and if it weren't for the mind of a player, I think I would be having a severe headache right now...' he thought.
There were several things to consider at the moment; however, what he most desired was to be strong enough not to fear the destruction of Uzushiogakure.
One way to prevent this would be to become strong enough so that no one would dare to have any ideas against his clan and village. For this, dungeons would be necessary.
Since he was returning after basically 'failing' the mission given by the Uzukage, the dungeons came at the right time for him to level up and strengthen himself.
Using the skill 'Chakra Strings', he controlled a string to pick up a kunai and swing it gently under his control in the air.
It was a bit more difficult than using telekinesis, but over time, he got the hang of it.
For the next few hours, he kept controlling the kunai while no one in particular paid attention to him.
Shiori had her own things to think about. She seemed upset, but it was understandable. Although she explained later that the Uzukage had warned in the letter that if the mission became too dangerous, they should abandon it and return, no self-respecting ninja is happy to fail a mission. However, this time, they had no choice, after all, there was a Konoha traitor directing ninjas from rival villages towards them.
The only reason they managed to get out unscathed was because of the package Shiori received earlier with the letter; in that package, there were several explosive tags to be used to make the enemy retreat. However, she could only use them twice at most. In other words, if they continued, even with such a powerful attack, the path to Konoha was long. The chances of surviving until then were practically zero.
Of course, deep down, Tanaka knew that if they continued, he would continue to level up, and who knows, he might be able to protect them and reach Konoha safely, but for that, he would also need to explain about the system. Which was something he did not want to do.
He knew that sooner or later, he would be discovered, or at least raise enough suspicion for others to come up with their own theories, as Shiori and the rest looked at him strangely, especially with him controlling ninja tools and killing several enemy ninjas.
However, they did not ask him any questions. But it was not right to think they would not report this to the Uzukage, who would possibly want to know the origin of his powers.
3x [You gained 1 level in
Putting these problematic thoughts aside for now, he saw that he was running out of MP after several hours of using the 'Chakra Strings' skill.
Instead of deactivating the skill, he used HP conversion for MP.
[You gained 1 level in
Seeing this, his eyes shone a little.
Continuing to convert until his MP was completely restored, he now only needed 50 HP for every 55 MP.
The amount of time it took for each conversion decreased by 1 second. Before, it took 7 seconds.
[You gained 1 level in
Close to fully restoring his MP, the skill leveled up again.
Using the skill 'Uzumaki Chakra' to now convert MP into HP, at a ratio of 50 MP to 100 HP, every 8 seconds his HP was increasing, and in one minute he had practically restored a thousand HP of the three thousand spent in the previous conversion.
A few minutes later...
[You gained 1 level in
It took only two more uses for his HP to be completely full when this notification appeared.
══════
Near the bow of the ship, Hisashi, Takashi, and Umiko were talking.
"By the way, what is he doing?" Hisashi raised the question that all three of them were wondering about.
"I have no idea, but," Takashi said, "I feel a constant change in energy different from chakra coming from him."
"What is it, after all?" Hisashi asked quietly.
"Hard to say, but it gives off more pressure than chakra," Takashi lowered his voice as he responded.
"Enough of that. If you're curious, ask him. If he doesn't want to answer, leave him alone," Umiko said in a calm tone. "After all, we all have secrets; it's not good to try to uncover others' secrets randomly. Especially one of ours."
"But, Onika, it's precisely because he's from our village that I'm concerned," Takashi said. "What if it's something dangerous?"
"If that's the case, it's up to the Uzukage to decide," Umiko said simply. "Don't speculate, just report to the Uzukage exactly what you saw. Since he dares to do this in front of us, it means he doesn't fear that we report it. However, keep in mind: don't go around talking about others' secrets casually."
What she meant was: It's fine to report to the Uzukage, but not to outsiders, even if they are from the same village.
The two nodded.
══════
Later, after having a simple dinner with everyone, he took the first watch shift.
While on watch, he continued using 'Chakra Strings' and then using HP and MP conversion.
Thanks to this, by the end of his shift, several skills had increased continuously.
