"I can use most of the jutsus from my previous world from F rank all the way up to B rank ones, as for the rest of the A rank and the S rank I doubt that I could use them even if I had ten times more Chi it's not about the quantity at that point which will certainly help but the type of power, it's just not suitable." explained Tobirama with a contemplating look on his face, before continuing, “I'll see if I can do anything about it later.”

"No worries, that's more than good enough for this world." said Levi nodding, "Alright let's end it here for today, you should have a memory of where your house is and what to do, am I right?" questioned Levi.

"Yes, but it's quite a distance away from here. I'd rather I stay close by to better protect you, and you don't have to worry about anyone noticing me if you're worried about that." 

'Interesting, it seems he has an innate Instinct to protect me instilled on him by the system, and he doesn't have his usual arrogance that he had in the show, well that's to be expected but I'd rather not have someone watching me every minute of every day’

"No, that's okay. I am more than capable of protecting myself against the people of this world. If I need you I will call for you, just continue living as a normal member of the tribe for now and wait for my next order." said Levi With a commanding tone.

"Understood." Tobirama nodded seriously before he said, "May I ask another question." 

"What is it?" said Levi expressionlessly, paying his full attention. This was his first summon and he had to pay extra attention and make sure everything was fine so he couldn't just dismiss him. 

"Do you know what happened to the shinobi world after the fourth great ninja war? And what about Konoha village." said Tobirama hoping for an answer, to him Levi wasn't what he appeared to be, he definitely wasn't just a normal kid.

He came from a world where the weakest ninja can change their appearance at will and he won't let a child's appearance fool him, just the fact that he fully revived him and brought him to this world is a testament to his power, so it wasn't impossible that he knows the future of his world.

'I guess it's normal that he would be worried about stuff like this huh?.' thought Levi and he also felt a little relieved that he asked that, he'd rather that his summons weren't just some lifeless emotionless puppets who cared about nothing else except for him, that would way to creepy.

"Sigh, we're going to be here for a while, take a seat." said Levi as he took a seat on the table and gestured for Tobirama to sit. And so Levi started telling him about everything he knew about what happened when the war ended. 

From Naruto and Sasuke's fight which made Tobirama frown and mutter something about Uchihas to their reconciliation, to Naruto going to the moon and the events that happened there which made Tobirama gap at people actually living there to finally Kakashi becoming a Hokage followed by Naruto.

He completely ignored Boruto and its plot like it didn't exist, he didn't think that Tobirama needed to know that, and if he was being honest with himself he didn't like it either.

"I am glad.” said Tobirama with a genuinely happy expression on his face, Levi could swear that this was the first time he saw him smiling.

“Who thought that the shinobi world could advance so far after the fourth war, they have really achieved piece something I thought would be impossible, I wonder what Hashirama would think about that." said Tobirama with a reminiscent expression on his face, looking as if a burden has been lifted off his shoulders he looked back at Levi before getting up and kneeling on one knee. 

"From today onwards my old life is over, you gave me this new life and I plan to serve you till my last breath to repay you for it." said Tobirama with a serious expression as he looked at Levi while kneeling.

Levi raised an eyebrow at that, it might sound weird but he felt that this loyalty was genuine and not from the system, as if Tobirama didn't have any more regrets or worries holding him back anymore and thus was free to do as he wanted and that was apparently repaying him.

Smiling Levi replied, "I'll hold you on to that so don't you dare forget it, now go back to your home and proceed like I told you to." said Levi smiling as he waved his hand at Tobirama. 

Nodding Tobirama vanished from the room like he just teleported making Levi raise an eyebrow, 'So that's the body flicker jutsu?, impressive, I wonder if I'll be able to do it in the future.' 

[With the system around the user will have no limitations so with time the user will be able to learn all and any jutsu he wants to and more.]

Nodding in approval and imagining his future achievements Levi went to bed, he could just sleep for 3 hours if he wanted to and be completely rejuvenated thanks to gamer’s body but he still liked to sleep like a normal person, if there was one thing he didn't get tired of then it was sleep.

"Come on faster" 

"Even my grandma can hit harder than that and she's dead!, hit harder." 

"Your footwork is sloppy."  

"You call that bending, even a crippled fish can move water better than that." 

"What's with that technique? If we were in a real battle I would have killed you a dozen times over." 

In the training square of the Southern water tribe Tenzin's voice echoed throughout the surroundings again and again as he instructed Levi on every little detail, he was going from close-quarter combat to bending to movements and to close-quarter combats again, not leaving anything untouched.

If someone who knew them was watching they'd be able to tell that Tenzin was going extra hard today, in fact, it had been like that since Levi recovered from the last mission. 

And Levi didn't disappoint him until now, he had been able to keep up with everything thrown at him and had even improved during the past few days, it seemed that a high intensity of training like this was exactly what he needed to speed up his growth, of course it wasn't as good as a real battle.  

[Rapid recovery level up] 

[Pain tolerance leveled up] 

[Close quarter combat level up] 

'This mother fucker is planning to kill me' Thought Levi as he constantly evaded Tenzin's “Lethal” attacks while delivering some of his own. 

He was happy about his growth. He couldn't deny that, but it took a lot of him nonetheless. 

"Humph, you're open." Said Tenzin as he moved too fast for Levi to react, bending water by Levi's feet and flipping him into the air before delivering a punch straight to his stomach knocking the air out of his lungs and slamming him into the ground.

[Pain tolerance leveled up +1]

"Aaak." Levi lay on the ground rolling around and gasping for air, he couldn't breathe properly or move, and if it weren't for gamer's mind he would have lost focus of his surroundings entirely, It took him a while to recover and get back up on his feet. 

Looking around he saw Tenzin sitting cross-legged beside him, he was obviously waiting for him to recover. 

Mirroring him and sitting in a cross-legged position in front of him Levi spoke, "What is it old man, you jealous of me or something! Why are you going this hard on me these past few sparring sessions." he asked, and he was genuinely curious, Tenzin had always been a harsh mentor but these past few days it seemed to be a little over the top.

"From what I heard about you in the recent mission it seems you can take much more than that, am I right? Especially the stunt you pulled at the end it seems that my student had been hiding a lot from me" said Tenzin with a fake smirk that that sent chills down Levi’s back as he scrutinized him making him rub the back of his head in awkwardness.

‘So that's why he's been all salty lately, it seems that he's just mad that I hid some stuff from him.’ thought Levi as he heard Tenzin’s answer.

Tenzin, on the other hand, knew Levi's strengths and weaknesses better than anyone and so he was really surprised when he heard the report from that mission, he wasn't surprised that he could take down fire nation soldiers relying purely on his physical strength and skills or how he fought three elite fire nation soldiers at the same time, no he already knew that something like that wasn't far from his reach, but what caught him off guard was what he read at the end, Levi's sudden burst of strength. 

"Now that you have recovered from your injuries, Tell me what happened." said Tenzin without specifying he knew that his student would understand what he meant, his tone though was much softer and reassuring, something that seemed to surprise even him let alone Levi but they both chose to just ignore it for now.

Levi still didn't know how to explain his use of limit breaker until now, he had thought of many excuses but all of them had plot holes in them so in the end he decided to play it the safe way and play the card that never failed him until now.

"I don't know master." he said with an innocent expression on his face as he looked at his master’s expression which was slowly turning from gentle to annoyed.

Tenzin frowned after hearing Levi answer before saying "What do you mean you don't know, you don't know how you suddenly turned into a master water bender all of a sudden and escaped the encirclement of hundreds of fire nation soldiers?." he said with a doubtful tone of voice.

'Darn old man, do you think I am a liar or what you old bag of bones.' thought Levi cursing Tenzin in his mind, completely ignoring the fact that he was in fact lying through his teeth right now.

"Yes master, I have no idea at all." said Levi nodding, his expression turning somewhat distressed and confused.

Hearing him and seeing his expression seemed to make Tenzin think for a while as he stayed silent for a moment before speaking again, "Describe to me exactly how you felt at that moment, think carefully and try not to omit any details no matter how insignificant you think they are." 

'Why is he being so curious about that?' Though Levi as he only now noticed something, his master didn't seem to care about him hiding stuff as much as the details of what had happened there, but he couldn't think of a reason why so he just answered.

"If I had to describe it I'd say that it felt like I had a sudden burst of energy and strength, like I was an entirely different person, it felt like I could do anything I wanted." Said Levi, putting on an absent look on his face as if he was trying to remember what happened that day. 

In fact he was thinking of the best possible way to describe the limit breaker without revealing too much. If it were anyone else except Tenzin or his family asking that question he wouldn't even bother explaining himself. 

Hearing his student’s answer Tenzin's facial expression didn't change one bit, but deep down he couldn't help but have his doubts as a storm started to rage inside of him, 'A sudden burst of strength? isn't that just like the avatar state?, plus with his talent and strength at this age he could very well be.' Tenzin couldn't help but get excited at the prospect that the avatar was finally back but none of that showed on his face. 

"I see well we can't figure out what it is for now so no use worrying about it, you can go back and rest for the day, but pack your bags we're going on a little trip tomorrow." Said Tenzin, making Levi curious, he had never seen Tenzin leave the village let alone take him with him. 

"Trip? Where are we going? And shouldn't you ask permission from my parents first? That's basic courtesy and…. ." with each word Levi said Tenzin's fists tightened more and his glare became more annoyed, stopping Levi from continuing his sentence. 

"Ahem, but thinking about it more, master is the wisest of them all so it's sure that this trip will be beneficial for me so I shouldn't ask a lot of questions." Said Levi, making Tenzin nod approvingly,

"Humph it's good that you still know what's good for you brat, now scram, we will meet tomorrow at dawn."
