Being in a classroom was frustrating for Sato. It wasn't that he didn't like to learn but so many kids in one place was really distracting and it made it worse to see how far behind he was than most. He was one of the newest students so of course he hadn't learned much yet but even beyond that he was at a disadvantage. It'd been less than a year since his mother had moved them here. It was his first exposure to the shinobi world but plenty of children had grown up here. Plenty of children had the advantage of having family or friends who already knew what they were doing, not to mention those clans with hiden techniques or kekkei genkai. It was almost kind of scary to think about.
That's why he was drawn to the library. Here there was nothing to focus on other than the task at hand. It was nice and quiet and more than large enough to help you avoid any distractions. Of course privacy meant he could also try some of the jutsu he wanted to learn. He knew it probably wasn't technically allowed in place with such fragile information but it wasn't as if he was trying anything dangerous. The basics didn't even seem like something you could use to harm a fly.
With a bit of searching and asking he managed to gather together a sizable pile of text, stumbling for a bit with the small tower in his arms before he finally found a table and did his best to place them down carefully. Of course they'd looked ready to fall just from him walking around so of course tilting them forward was going to cause them to crash. He flinched as they struck the table, tensing up and waiting for some repercussion before looking around and letting out a sigh of relief. Nobody seems to have noticed.
With that he picked up the first book and flipped it open, skimming it briefly before finding the actual meat of the text. Chakra. Hand signs. Jutsu. They were all relatively new concepts to him and frankly the first few days were so confusing he almost wanted to quit. It was starting to make more sense now that he'd dug his heels in. Physical and spiritual energy merged together to create power. Seals to give the energy form. He started to jot down notes as he got to the basic jutsu manual, trying to burn the gestures and order into his mind before actually attempting it. He was going to nail every step in the process until he had it down to a science. That was the only way someone like him would be able to stand out.
