The numbers suddenly went up and Naruto only felt joy.
Seeing the changes in his status wasn't enough to understand the changes he has suffered from this breakthrough.
He didn't understand what the message meant by the first wall, but he supposed it's the crack he heard when he got it.
He didn't feel any change in his energy, but his body feels way different than before.
Not by the fact that he was stronger, because that didn't change that much, but it was a deeper change. He just felt like he could do even more, a strange feeling that comes from his intuition and the facts in front of him.
Sitting down in a meditation stance, Naruto tried to feel the changes.
As his conscience was restrained in his body, Naruto began to see changes he hadn't noticed before.
His types of energy(Red-Kurama. The normal chakra is a construct of vital force so there's no way it's separated from the body because that will mean the body has defects) that previously were separated by a thick layer on his own body were now slowly merging like the chakra does.
It was the first time Naruto saw that type of change and the separation between them and his body. Before this time he didn't know it existed, except that the Fox chakra was far different from the red one. The Fox one has gnawed the layer and most of it was the nearest to his body and small portions of it could even reach a distance Naruto couldn't see, while the red one was far away.
"So, that's why it keeps annoying me? But even with a layer it keeps doing it, what will happen when this layer disappears? The message says my body will change. It was talking about this?"
Many questions filled Naruto's mind and he didn't know the answer to any of them. But at least he knew something.
It was good for his Red.
He always felt like something suppressed his use of that energy and now he noticed that it was because his body didn't recognize it at all.
But now that has changed.
Adaptability.
He has read the description before, but this was the first time he actually felt its effects. His body was changing to receive these energies and their proprieties.
Even now Naruto was confused about it, the only thing he could do is to continue and one day he will understand it.
Naruto conveniently ignored the new question marks on his race.
Giving a last look to his mess, Naruto left the state and opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw when he got used to the light was the Dwarf with his eyes fixed on him, looking at him as a type of exotic animal.
"W-what's wrong?" Naruto's scared and took a step back.
"What did you see this time? I thought it would take you a long time to take that step."
"Step? It says I broke the first wall. And I saw that my body is separated in layers, I don't know why, but from this breakthrough it has changed." Getting up, Naruto stretched while he replied.
"Fine, and which attribute has advanced? You seemed different."
"It was Adaptability, I told you that it continues growing even though I didn't do anything."
"That makes sense, now I understand a little why you are like that."The Dwarf nodded like he expected that.
"Yeah, it feels different." Clenching his fists, Naruto was lost in his thoughts. Everything gave him new sensations.
"If you have any questions you can ask Eyes the next time you meet him, he has more permits than me." He said with a good mood and went back to his stash, ready to sleep another 10 hours.
The Dwarf curiosity wasn't satisfied at all, but he couldn't just use brute force to observe Naruto's inner body and he didn't have the methods as Corvinus does have.
Naruto just watched him fall asleep as soon as he touched his blanket.
Letting out a sigh, Naruto continued feeling the changes but this time it was to the skill he got in the 2nd floor.
At first he thought the skills would progress the same as the tier does, but he didn't think that anymore. Before he got 50% he already noticed that those changes were more than just senses and this breakthrough has confirmed it.
[Augmented senses 84%][Your senses are strengthened. Your senses have surpassed the human range and are stronger than some animals](Passive)
It's just the first form and he has already surpassed that limit. How much will it change when he reaches 100%? Naruto didn't know but he was sure that this wasn't supposed to happen, at least not that soon.
Something's different about himself, but he didn't know what that was.
The more he thought about it, the madder he got.
Shaking his head, he tried to distract himself with other things and as soon as he reacted, many sensations assaulted his mind and annoyed him a little.
It was especially hard to control his nose, the smells got amplified tens of times and it bothers him. Naruto thought he had to get used to it and it would take days or weeks, but after a few minutes the discomfort slowly decreased and he felt better.
Before today he would have thought that it was easy to get used to, but now he understands the reason.
Adaptability, huh? Just at the green tier and it has changed this much...
Naruto was wondering what would be the other effects of that trait but the small content he knew was enough for him to be surprised. Waiting with expectation, Naruto decided to make an effort on his training.
He spent the next few hours trying different things to see if he could have gained any other advantage but he didn't find anything new apart from the fact that his body could now use a little more chakra before getting hurt.
It wasn't much, but it's a new way to get stronger and he's happy to have it.
Once he was ready, Naruto didn't waste time and continued his rampage on the floor.
In the next few days, a shadow could be seen running throughout all the way looking for the boss of the floor.
If he found a package of boars he would just kill them all and loot their leather and meat, without taking the fragments. If it didn't have any use, he just let it and after a day the fragments in the ground disappeared.
Naruto thought that it would stay on the floor no matter what, but that taught him that the tower will reclaim what it belongs to if he didn't take it.
As he continued killing them, his inventory slowly lost its space and he had to sell most of the materials he got in previous floors. Leaving only the materials with names or those he thought would be useful.
With his augmented senses Naruto has found it annoying using his shoes, it doesn't fit at all and was just awkward to use so he just threw them and continued barefoot.
The rocks and dirt in the ground were a little awkward to feel but after being like that for a few days, he got used to it and felt better.
His ingestion of food has also increased and he had to eat at least 1.5 times more than before to be satisfied.
As the days continued passing, the boar population was decreasing but there were still tens of them.
In the night, Naruto took a seat and approached the Dwarf.
Greeting him, they began to talk about the changes on these days. It was mainly Naruto talking and the Dwarf hearing.
"Do you feel any difference?"
"Mm, the environment feels more comfortable and I don't get tired as fast as before. And look! I don't get hurt anymore!" The first part was normal, but when he said the last thing, Naruto raised his feet and showed it to him.
"Don't show me your paws, you're ruining my food!" He pushed him away with a slap.
"Hehe, but you see? I'm even faster at doing this!" Naruto didn't take it personally and was proud of his progress.
"Bah, just take me away from this place." The Dwarf just mocked it and continued eating.
"Mm! Just wait!"
They continued talking for a while before Naruto got tired and went to rest.
------------------
This day, Naruto was running in the places he had already cleared. There was nothing out of usual until he got to the farthest spot of the safe zone and he found it.
In a post where everything was covered by grass, a brown stain could be seen.
What's that? Is it the boss?
As he got closer, Naruto could see it.
A giant boar was sleeping around other boars of regular size.
Different from the others, this boar has fangs and his body was two times larger than its relatives.
[You have encountered the boss of the floor]
[The Matriarch has sensed you]
-------------------------------------
Explaining some changes from Naruto's perspective, he doesn't know much so he has to wait until someone more experienced than him teaches that.
I was busy yesterday and I'll be busy this weekend. My older brother has problems with the mother of his daughter and I have to help with some things.
Thanks for reading, have a nice day.
