A pair of Sapphire blue eyes looked tiredly at what appeared to be a small window from some kind of fancy video game.
This being a corporal world and not the infamous death game [Sword Art Online] or related games, this was rather unusual. The message that the owner of those eyes and a mop of red-head hair that stood off widely in all directions like a lions mane starred at was this:
[You have slept in a bed, your HP and CP have been restored]
"What is that?" Asked the girl still tired, mentally if not physically, as she looked at the strange notice that looked from a PC. Immediately after she asked this a new pop-up appeared.
[Quest Alert: Fucking what is that?]
Objective: Open the [Tutorial] to find out just what this is all about and read what you want.
Tip: Read a number of subjects now, it will be useful for you.
Reward: Experience Points and WIS points
Accept
[Yes?] – [No?]
The girl didn't need long to think, this was weird and her head was still drowsy from sleep, but she could coherent the words good enough so she pressed [Yes] to get a idea of what was going on around here. This prompted another window, this one a long text.
[The Gamer's Tutorial]
[For Noobs and those who just are confused by this all]
[All Copyrights of this ability belong to Gaia-sama, embodiment of the planet. Formerly owned partially by Kaguya Otsutsuki before they had a fall out. This world also belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, all rights included in this world belongs to this almighty creator of all. We don't get paid hell down here in Tartarus so please don't sue us.]
At that first disclaimer she just deadpanned, what was that meant to be? Sounded like the disclaimer of a fanfiction!
[On to the Tutorial]
Every 5000 years Gaia, the embodiment of the world and origin of all that is earthen, bestows upon a select few abilities based on their turn on the great [Wheel Lottery of Power]. You won't remember this though so forget this simply.
You earned the [Gamer] Ability line. As such you have the ability with the greatest versatility and potential. Your abilities will be created, built and formed over the run of your life. To put this easy: You are now seeing the world through the [Gamer's Mind], this allows you to see the worlds hidden stats, titles and so on, making you able to break the fourth wall of the universal game you are part in.
Everything works by voice-command and touch. You can learn to use fitting techniques but to master them you must grind them like in a RPG. You have [Perks], useful aspects of your character, and [Flaws], negative effects. Both can be removed or gained depending on your actions in the world.
You also can see the [Reputation] you have with people, villages, nations or factions. This factor can be improved normally with actions but once you reach [Archenemesis Number 1, worst Enemy of our Country] you can't raise it again.]
She blinked at that. Wow, just... wow.
[For more information ask the remaining Tutorial sites but many of them will only be unlocked once you unlocked what they are about like skills or encountering items.]
She blinked at that last bit but shrugged, pressing the option of [Continue] which opened up a new window.
[The Gamer's Tutorial: Stats]
As any RPG, aside of a few who are more about action than actual round-based combat, you have stats here. Everyone actually does but only those you tell about will know about this. Your stats are based on your Level and distribution of the points you gain at leveling up. The Level-cap is at .999 and a few more 9's so you won't be getting anywhere near that cap any time soon, if at all. If someone tells you "I have a Level 30 Warrior" tell him with pride: "Yeah? I am a Level 3928 Ninja, take that Final Fantasy!", no seriously, do that.
Anyway, Experience can be earned by various means, among others there are 10 daily missions you can do which give a certain amount of Experience Points, some perks and even money. Other Quest pop-up randomly but give way more, though repeating a completed quest will give less rewards. Quests also generally have a set of side-quests which are not always shown though tips that pop-up sometimes will give hints to them. As it is you are just doing the right thing for your first quest.
[Continue?]
The red-head shrugged and pressed the button, it could help even though her mind wasn't 100% up and running yet, she still could read this.
[The Gamer's Tutorial: Grinding 101 for idiots]
Grinding is simple: Repeat a action often enough that is associated with a skill and you are gonna earn experience in it. This improves the skill and what you can do with it greatly. Little tip: Read your current skills before doing anything and give Mizuki a kick in the b**** for me because he is at fault for this. Also tell Iruka about the problems you have with the stances but leave this ability out.
Using Ninjutsu often enough also will cause you to develop them better and stronger. You will learn how to use them generally through scrolls and/or teaching from others. Repeatedly using them will allow you to use improved versions of them too. Upgrading your skills will allow you to learn another skill in a form of skill-tree.
For example: [Calligraphy Level 50] unlocks the ability to learn [Basic Fuin Jutsu] due to being a requirement. Mastering it and [Basic Fuin Jutsu] unlocks the ability to upgrade that skill to [Medium Fuin Jutsu] and so on. Mastering is Level 100 by the way, so you should have your work cut out for you.
Some Skills need rather easy things, like repeating kata's, training or generally working on your physical condition. Other things like the [Cooking] skill-tree needs you to practice the act in completing meals and will upgrade slowly. The speed at which a skill levels is dependent on the difficulty, as such easy skills are quick to upgrade while a talent for them will speed it up regardless.
[Continue?]
By now her interest was picked, that was a lot of cool stuff and if she guessed right, that included Ninjutsu and her general studies, right? Another prompt appeared, separate from the first.
[Improvement in studies is based on WIS and INT, get those up, then you get smarter, there is no skill to help you there though. Tip: You have 20 Points to spare, and those two are the lowest. Be a gamer, improve yourself.]
A bit of a moment was needed for her to understand that the message just told her she was dumb and could get better with balancing her stats. Well, why not? "Uh, Stats?" She tried and instantly a new window popped up, this one showing a flat, nondescript figure with vaguely feminine shape and her head.
Over the figure was a name [Uzumaki Naruko] and to the side was the stats.

She hopes to one day become the next Hokage like her idol Namikaze Minato but she has a long and mountainous way before her.
Stat Points: 20
Now Naruko was scowling, Level 3? Well, she probably got the first 5 points from the start if she had to guess but how weak was she if she was Level 3? There was a lot to do it seemed.
[Through thinking things through you have gained +2 WIS and +1 INT]
[Through a Special Action a new Skill was created: Observe]

Now Naruko was just getting annoyed, this was really a bit ridiculous that this popped up just now but what-ever, she got a new Skill.
She looked at her other skills now, opening the tag for them.

Naruko starred at this, her eyes narrowing at the false Hakage-Ryu that was noted. "Mizuki, that damn, little, stupid-" She was interrupted in her rant by another prompt.
[You have earned a new Perk: Pissed Uzumaki]
Description: The female Uzumaki are notorious to their temper and someone earned your ire. Don't hesitate, castrate him straight away with the fury of a girl.
+10.000 STR temporarily while fighting the person

[Earned Temporary Skill: Ball Vaporizer]
Naruko refrained from reading the description, the name said all, and she was tempted to do just that but then something occurred to her.
/I have no evidence that he did it and probably is just because he hates me like most others. Hmm... should I ask Jiji for help?/ Thought Naruko, crossing her arms and ignoring the message that, for thinking through, she again gained 2 WIS and 1 INT for thinking things through. She also lost the status [Pissed Uzumaki] and associated skills and so on.
It sucked being weakened by calming down like this but it was better to be calm than just rush into a opponent that would still outclass her. She knew her stats weren't the best, barely anything actually, so she would have to go the only way any gamer knew: Grind the heck outta herself.
[You have thought things through and you were able to come up with a smarter response. Reward: +5 INT & +5 WIS]
She starred blankly at that but shook her head, closing the window again and also the tutorial and all the others she forgot to close, she could barely see anything by this point.

Congratulations! Your level went up by 4!]
Naruko blinked, that was a lot of prizes for something this easy, but what did that... "Difficulty Level!" She called out and indeed appeared a text-box in response but it wasn't what she expected.
[Sorry, there is no difficulty you can change. This is a quest to help you up a bit. Don't expect any such giant EXP pushes in the next few minor quests.]
She facefaulted at that, so in other words that was noob provision? Oh, whatever, she wouldn't complain about it.
She closed that prompt and also accepted the quest message before a scroll fell into her hand.
[You obtained the Skill-Scroll [Henge no Jutsu], do you wish to learn this skill?]
[Yes] – [No]?
"Henge no Jutsu? Oh, Observe!" She declared, testing her new skill out and a new window appeared before her.
[Henge no Jutsu Scroll]

Accept?
[Yes] – [No]
Naruko blinked when she found that the [No] option was grayed out, telling her that she couldn't use it.
"Oh, whatever? I WANT to do that. Make it a quest? No problem!" She declared and accepted before accepting the Jutsu.
[Congratulations! You have learned [Henge no Jutsu]!
[Congratulations! You leveled-up [Henge no Jutsu] by 70 level!]

You can change your physical body to anything larger than you]
Naruko starred at that last bit. "I have enough power to level up to level 71? Wait, my CP, I guess Chakra Points, were at 1420 at level 3, okay that is scary." Muttered Naruko but then grinned. "But if I already have this much in terms of Chakra, why not do what any good player would do?" Asked the blue-eyed girl, about to commence a ages old ritual that made the greatest of heroes stronger than even gods. The key, of invincible warriors to unlock their power.
"Grind the ever-loving hell out of the skill. Henge no Jutsu!" She shouted loudly and while her landlord complained, he never saw it coming.

Tip: Show this to [Umino Iruka] and [Sarutobi Hiruzen] to earn the Reputation Reward.
Naruko grinned, huffing and puffing after 6000 uses of [Henge no Jutsu] which made her level it up to it's max. After Level 90 she was able to apply it without a handsign and it wasn't noticeable anymore to others if she used it.
"I. Am. The. Biggest. Badass. In. The. School." She huffed in exhaustion before dragging herself to her bed and flopping down. "Nighty." She muttered before falling asleep in a second, her Chakra and Stamina were at 1 each from overexertion.
Meanwhile a bunch of Anbuu wondered what the bloody hell was going on. They had been watching the diminutive student which they were assigned to guard, in other words Uzumaki Naruko the diminutive Jinchuriki who looked more like 7 or younger instead of 9, bordering 10. But the last few days she had been practicing something a second year student shouldn't know yet by the curriculum currently.
In their days it would have been that those brats could perform the three basic Ninjutsu, Henge, Kawarimi and Bunshin no Jutsu, after the third month. Now they only had to do simple exercises and theory since joining the academy.
But this kid somehow learned to perform the Jutsu, by now she didn't need handsigns, and she practiced harder that one Jutsu than Might Guy trained daily. Though using the technique a few thousand times over and over again couldn't give someone that mastery, and who told her how to understand that Jutsu?
No, they didn't know what she did to learn that technique in the first place but the academy showed some mayor improvement. For one thing she got much smarter, her grades had moved from dead-end in the roster to medium within 8 days. It was a miracle, not even starting on her mastery of a Jutsu she wasn't supposed to learn yet even if it was a D-Rank.
Also, where come that scroll from she just got? They saw a flash while observing her through the OPEN WINDOW and then it was there. Some kind of secret instructor from another plane of the universe? Namikaze Minato coming back from the dead as a ghost to teach her? By the way: This was the squad formerly led by Hatake Kakashi who drilled into them that she was just a mistreated, innocent child and prison to the Kyuubi. Not the prisoner.
Deciding to leave it be until she got problems through it and just reporting to the Hokage about it, they kept watch until the shift come in. They needed a lot of Alcohol after this night.

Accept?
[Yes] – [No]
Again the [No] was grayed out on this notice that popped up when Naruko had closed the message that she had recovered HP and CP due to sleeping in a bed. She pressed [Yes] lazily and yawned before remembering her newest scroll which was the whole quest-item of this new quest. She guessed it was meant to be a series of quests to get her to become better.
She pressed [Yes] on the question if she wanted to learn the Jutsu in the scroll, which leveled-up due to her Chakra levels to 24 indicating it was harder than [Henge no Jutsu], only for a new pop-up to appear to which she was used by now.
[Daily Quest Alert (1): Preparing for (Not) action]
Description: The daily routine of preparing for school, get ready, wash and get to school early to get a bonus.
Main Quest: Do your morning rituals and get to school on time
Success Reward: 50 Experience, Reputation with [Umino Iruka]
Failure Reward: Experience Points
Accept?
[Yes] – [No]
She just pressed [Yes] and then went to the shower with a few fresh clothes.
Naruko had found her body to grow much stronger through the level-up, therefore she had to be careful not to accidentally break something. She was luckily not that strong but still she could damage things if careless.
Naruko was a young girl, not very tall and she would admit that any time of the week as she knew that she didn't eat properly but how could she? The only people giving her fair prizes were Teuchi and Ayame from a local Ramen shop. She had short, spiky red hair, red as in tomato colored and not carrot colored. But call her tomato and... well there was a reason that the Hyuuga elders would jump whenever she greeted them.
Pink hair was definitely a color only Haruno Sakura could pull off.
Yes, she was this badass. What do you think come the [Prank Queen] perk from? She pranked just about everyone in the village. Including the Anbuu HQ, wearing a orange jumpsuit she found in a trash-can, painting all stored masks and armors pink and all weapons in the armory were painted orange. The Anbuu found themselves for two weeks the flashiest ninja in the village since it took so long to get new equipment.
When she told her jiji what she did he nearly had a stroke. From laughing. She needed to call in his secretary. And she got it too when she told her the reason. Didn't help that she told them three days after the fact and the Anbuu had been running around like that all this time because, no matter the color, it was a rule to wear it. Well, not so funny considering that was the time with the second highest mission loses outside of a war among the Anbuu.
The most costly time was after her second prank. There everything was turned neon color-orange, including their shower-gels. Let's just say that afterward there were training sessions in how to infiltrate a elite underground HQ of a Anbuu equivalent, and counter meassure training. She still got in 12 times for minor pranks like shampoo being exchanged for instant hair dye in pink, or all uniforms being burned and replaced with tutu's.
Yeah, they needed to get better, fast. And she didn't make a secret out of it so that all higher-ups knew. When she once passed Hyuuga Hiashi he had patted her head, looking at one of the tutu Anbuu, and said "Well done", barely keeping in chuckles himself.
Anyway, back to topic, right? As funny as Anbuu's in tutu's are. After a shower Naruko dressed in her usual attire and went off to the academy after locking each of the 20 locks on her door and the 10 locks on each window with ninja-proof glass as she went to the academy. She sometimes wondered why people went to the extra-mile and tore her apartment apart really. Were they so bored?
By now it was no wonder she had maxed out the [Wood Crafting] skill the moment she replaced that doorframe four days ago. God, that was a really bored bunch of civilians she guessed but the sealing tapes she put all over it from the supermarket should keep out anyone but a Hyuuga.
And her friendship with Hinata-chan kept her on the good side of them at least. Yup, she was friends with the relatively shy and timid heiress of the Hyuuga clan. Well, at least her friendship had taken some air out of the shyness and timidness of her friend.
Oh wait! Approaching academy grounds! Like a armor-piercing bullet in orange she hit the ground, cushioning the force by bending her legs, rolling forward before standing up again, making a pose.
"I would give you a nine, a few points off because you made four centimeter deep holes into the pavement." Noted a voice bemusedly and as she turned around she found Umino Iruka, her primary instructor at the academy.
"I went that fast? Didn't notice really. Oh yeah! Iruka-sensei I need to show you and jiji something later, can you come with me to him after classes?" Asked Naruko, her giddy self against while bobbing up and down. As stern as Iruka was, and as much fun he was to prank, he was her favorite since he was fair, stern but fair. Ever since she got smarter he seemed much happier than before while most secondary teachers were rather angry about it.
He also gave her a set of basic Shuriken and Kunai when she mentioned that her set was bad. "Well, that is interesting. Not a prank I hope?" Asked Iruka, well aware that Naruko was at fault for the week of the Anbuu Tutu-Ops and the month of Pink-Hyuuga. Oh how he had laughed that time. Or the Anbuu Orange-Ops, a few weeks before that. And all those other hilarious pranks in top-security areas.
"Nope! Sunday is prank-day not wednesday!" Declared Naruko, already having warned him beforehand about her new schedule. He couldn't say he disagreed that she kept her pranks now to weekends instead of weekdays but her explanation that it was actually stealth training lay his concerns to rest.
"Okay Naruko-chan I am looking forward to it. Oh yeah, here is that scroll you asked for." Answered Iruka, giving her a scroll from his pouch. You see, that was a scroll containing the [Hakage-Ken] kata's and was a item categorized as a [Skill-Book] item, meaning she could learn a new skill.
She smirked happily at that, she wanted to learn the proper style to further advance her own skills in Taijutsu in which she was, despite all, already rather good due to her street-smarts. That was something she had over everyone else: She had the streetsmarts of a full orphan all her life and therefore knew how to use anything to her advantage.
She even proposed to Iruka-Sensei a issey she wrote in the second half of the first year which had earned her a 21 out of 100 because the sensei, Mizuki she had realized later, didn't like her views. She had severely criticized how the entire system worked since the results of the first two thirds of the exam were all but for naught technically as long as you passed the Ninjutsu portion of the test.
And how useless was that? If you failed the first two you could just perform those Jutsu. Sure learning them helped learn to use Jutsu in the first place, but they weren't exactly front-line Ninjutsu since they were useless in combat. Well, save for Henge no Jutsu in her case at least.
Anyway, the point is that she and Iruka figured out a new schedule more closely to the old one before all those changes that made it so freaking easy to pass by a hairs width while those who had problems with one of those Jutsu but did great in other areas were left to repeat. It was a game Naruko had to play already once before, she had been baited by the claim it was super easy but she understood too late that it needed those Jutsu.
Furthermore the rest of her tests were rigged, Iruka wasn't present at the time so they had just changed her results and no one wanted to back her up. Perfect score with the Shuriken, Kunai and she passed also the Taijutsu Test. She was pretty sure that she had at least a 83 of 100 in that written exam too. They erased 72 of her answers and only counted 4 hits out of 20 only.
It was a discrediting campaign that they made against her, she failed at the Academy-Three because she didn't learn them at the time. Anyway, as it was the new test would be as follows: 1 written exam, 1 exam of Shurikenjutsu, Taijutsu and Kunaijutsu, each section one after another. Then the Ninjutsu portion of the test. Instead of having to just pass that they would have to pass at least two tests.
Exam minimum was 70 of 100, STK test was to pass two of the three at least. This meant to hit at least 5 vital points on a dummy out of ten throws by both ranged weapon tests and to last 5 minutes in the ring with a Chuunin. Extra points were given if the student managed to land 5 hits or threw the instructor out of the ring, which allowed one to pass the whole part of the exam.
Ninjutsu now was to just have at least mastered either the three ninjutsu or to show at least one of them and then at least one C-Rank or higher Ninjutsu skill. One also could earn this by performing a rare Ninjutsu like a Clan-Ninjutsu such as the Jyuuken, Kagemane no Jutsu, Daibakufu no Jutsu or similar techniques. Kekkei Genkai weren't counted as they were no accomplishments but inborn.
In the end Naruko had done a premature proto-test, she passed with flying colors but to make sure that Genin didn't come out unprepared to the point where everyone currently in her class could pass one way or another they put a test before it to make sure that they wouldn't be prematurely graduating: Each who wanted to take a premature exam had to show capability of remaining on their own for two days in a forested area on training ground 18.
Naruko knew that forest, she hid there a few times when she was younger and the civilians could get away with it since that was a civilian affair until she come to the academy. Anyway, she didn't think she could stay there fore more than nine hours though, too many predators there. And she hated snakes. Damn giant cobra nearly bit her!
How does a snake like that grow to the size of one of the Titan-Tree's surrounding the village anyway? That was a Cobra! They weren't meant to do that!
Oh yeah, back to topic right? Iruka had sent her to the practice area with the scroll since school didn't start until half an hour from now. She sat down on top of a training-post and looked to the quest-alert.
[Daily Quest (1) Completed: Preparing for (Not) action]
Description: The daily routine of preparing for school, get ready, wash and get to school early to get a bonus.

Naruko grinned before closing the alert and using her skill to learn [Beginners Hakage-Ken (True)] finally.
Beginners Hakage-Ken (True) (1)
Description: The basic fighting-Style as taught at the Ninja-Academy of Konohagakure. Any student of the ninja-academy should know the kata involved but you only are learning it now properly.

+10% damage with Taijutsu (Passive)
+4% chance at parrying Taijutsu attacks (Passive)
+2% chance at causing [Knock-Out] status on the enemy (Passive)]
Satisfied with this she jumped down from the log and begun to do the kata, knowing that this needed practice more than use to grind. She discovered this also with her other 'false' style which she decided on a whim, due to the description of this skill, to rename later.
"Naruko-chan!" Called after 14 or so minutes a voice Naruko knew well and turned around with a smile when she saw Hinata come up to her.
"Hey Hinata-chan! Hey, can you come with Iruka-Sensei and me to Hokage-jiji after classes? I wanna show you guys something." Asked Naruko, all but jumping up and down as she talked to her best friend. People say opposites attract one another. Never was that more evident with those two.
Naruko was a hyper-active, most of the time grinning and jumping girl with enough energy (and Chakra) for 10 Jonin. Hinata on the other hand was a timid, shy girl that often struggled with her families Taijutsu due to her nature which was more gentle than the Gentle-Fist which Naruko commented often wasn't well named at all.
"So, what did you just practice? It looked a lot like the Hakage-Ken but shouldn't you know that?" Asked Hinata, curious what her friend was doing. She had always thought Naruko had a strange way of using it but now she looked like she tried to do it completely different, because of that she was stiff as if her body wasn't used to it but it looked properly to her.
"Can you keep a secret? Even from your tou-san?" Asked Naruko and Hinata nodded, a bit confused but it wasn't the first time Naruko had a request like that. In fact it wasn't even the first time she would be telling her something big. "I have got that super ability! My life, it is like a video game!" Exclaimed Naruko, excitedly and not subtle. Hinata didn't know how in hell the girl got all those pranks done.
"Naruko-chan, what do you mean with your life being like a video game?" Asked Hinata, not sure how she meant that. Naruko always seemed so hyped about everything that she hoped gave her a edge against others after all.
"Oh! I get all those crazy messages each time something happens and I get much smarter if I put points into my Intelligence and Wisdom stats so I did that each time I leveled up. And I have all those skills and if I get a scroll or book about a Jutsu I can kinda download the way they get done and then practice them to learn them better! It is super useful and I got all kinds of perks and my strength has increase SO MUCH!" Babbled the girl overexcited like Hinata knew her.
"Okay Naruko-chan, but what does that have to do with you practicing the Hakage-ken?" Asked Hinata finally, wondering whether to believe it or not but Naruko seemed so excited. Somehow Hinata knew then and there that her friend wasn't lying.
"Oh! I found out due to it that what I was training wasn't the Hakage-Style, my Skill-List calls it [Hakage-Ken (False)] after all and I got Iruka-Sensei to give me a scroll on the proper Hakage-Ken. And I need to beat Mizuki-baka's head off his head because he was the one giving me that faulty explanation and all!" Explained Naruko and Hinata scowled at hearing who had been giving her friend that much trouble.
"Oh yeah! Hinata-chan, would you like to see how that looks? There is a party-invitation function like in a MMORPG and the tutorial says that I can share the ability temporarily with whoever is in my party!" Asked Naruko, Hinata was curious about this and nodded, the smaller girl who was in fact a few weeks older than her, looked just so excited.
"Okay! Invite Hyuuga Hinata!" Declared Naruko and to Hinata's shock a pop-up appeared with simple message:
[Uzumaki Naruko has invited you to her party.]
Accept?
[Yes] – [No]
Hinata just pressed yes, gasping at seeing suddenly a box over Naruko's head.
[The Gamer]
[Uzumaki Naruko Lvl 7]
Checking herself she found also such a box.
[Sleeping Beauty of the Hyuuga]
[Hyuuga Hinata Lvl 5]
The young heiress was surprised at that, and blushed a her title as she recognized it as such. "See? Now you can use the Gamer ability too! Say [Status] then you can see your own stats and all." Instructed Naruko but stopped when a box appeared before her with text.
[Hidden Objective Accomplished: Form a Party of 2 or more]
[Description: To built a party of more than yourself and a familiar is very important and reveals many new possibilities that were blocked from your use so far.

[Reward: +3 levels for each party-member, 40 [Shuriken (Moderate Quality)], 20 [Kunai (Moderate Quality)] for each team member.]
Naruko grinned as her level raised to level 10 while Hinata went from 5 to 8 in a instant. "Hey that is so cool! Let's put your Skill Points right?" Asked Naruko, navigating her own menu and going to the side of her best friend. Then Naruko felt a bit of dizziness wash over her as her mind got the intelligence boost of passing the 100 mark.
"Whoa! That's a rush getting that smart suddenly." Smirked Naruko, her personality not one bit changed by this change of stats.
Hinata meanwhile looked at her own profile.

Hinata was quite surprised about those skills and the information she got. If she got her shyness under control she would be much better, nothing new, but that it dragged her down so much! That was amazing!
"And you have been training with those information for how long?" Asked Hinata curiously while her best friend was doing her own business on her stats.
"Uh, I think it was nine days or so ago. But that new [Instant Dungeon Create] skill is new, must be that we need to be in a party together to do a dungeon-raid." Explained Naruko and Hinata realized that this did explain Naruko's sudden leap in performance too.
"Okay, uh, what do you think I should put my points in?" Asked Hinata, having seen Naruko put her 15 points already into slots, namely her STR stat which Hinata assumed meant Strength, offensive power in other words.
"Hm... how about VIT? You have more toward precision after all and your DEX, INT and WIS stats are astronomical for someone who didn't have this ability. So you are pretty much able to control your chakra greatly and you are flexible as hell but you are a glass-cannon. I am more of a heavy tank if you want, all those bonus I get to VIT and so are making me." Explained Naruko and Hinata decided to do that but while 30 of her points went to VIT she put the other 15 into STR just to make up for that and noticed instantly that her HP and CP raised to 1000 each.
"Okay, then what are we going to do now?" Asked Hinata curiously since Naruko seemed to know how to 'grind' properly already.
"Well, if the description is true, how about we pound that log into the ground until classes, then get to jiji and after that we try and see what a dungeon is like." Suggested the girl, but then grinned from ear to ear. "Bet we get some really cool items from there!" Cheered Naruko and Hinata giggled, glad that her friend had such enthusiasm to her.
Suddenly a prompt appeared before both of them.

Hokage Office

"Is this report accurate?" Asked Sarutobi while speaking to the purple haired leader of the Anbuu Squad 19 which was the main shift of Uzumaki Naruko's guard at night.
"Yes Hokage-sama, from our observation it seems Naruko-chan has acquired a [Natural Ability] from the world. She calls it [The Gamer] and can apparently share it as she did with Hyuuga-sama earlier." Explained Neko, or Yugao the not so secret girlfriend of Geko Hayate.
"I see, any details about the ability?" Asked Hiruzen, Yugao had followed Naruko this morning and had observed until classes begun.
"Yes, according to her it simply allows her to live her life as a Role Play Game with mechanics similar to MMORPG like inviting to parties. She and Hyuuga-sama plan to enter a self-made dungeon after meeting with you together with Iruka-san. My guess is that this is also how she learned Henge no Jutsu so fast and where that scroll come from." Explained Yugao, having eavesdropped on the girls as they talked.
"I see. Very well, then I have a mission for you." Stated the old man and the purple-haired woman straightened up instantly. "Anbuu Neko, for the duration of the next week I assign you as a guard for the party or team of Uzumaki Naruko and Hyuuga Hinata. Act as a Jonin toward them and ensure that nothing happens to them in those dungeons." Ordered Hiruzen and got a prim "Hai" from the young woman before he nodded.
"Come here around the time of when classes are ending in Jonin attire. If you want bring Hayate-kun with you if he wants to participate." Ordered Hiruzen and with a bow vanished the woman before he sighed. Natural Ability, a rare occasion where a entity which only was known as "Gaia" would bestow a special ability upon someone.
For the Nidaime Hokage it was absolute and infinite control over all things liquid, save for blood and bodily fluids still in the body that is. Sweat was fair-play though. Anyway, the Shodai Hokage had also one, his was the ability to combine Suiton and Doton Chakra which he developed into Mokuton. Since it was tied to a certain DNA segment that wasn't passed down sadly it was unique to him and those who had it implanted into them.
He also taught one, Orochimaru. His [Natural Ability] was that his body absorbed Sen-Chakra which enhanced his power greatly from a young age and made him a prodigy. Sadly it turned him into the power-hungry guy he was now. Probably because he obtained it at birth and not years later like most other people, including Naruko even though she was a very early one still.
"Hokage-sama, a member of the Abyss Auction House has arrived, wishing to speak to you." Reported his secretary while looking into the room, triggering a sigh from the old man.
"Let him in." Ordered Sarutobi and soon enough a man in his mid 40's stepped in. he had long, gray hair in a low ponytail, wore red framed glasses with thick lenses, a expensive suit and looked so much like business as you can get. You could say he maxed out his [Business Man] Skill. "Okumura-san, nice to see you." Greeted Sarutobi the man who smiled in return.
"Mutual Hokage-sama, I am sadly on business here." Explained the man and Sarutobi wondered once again how extensive their informationnetwork was. Then again he knew there was a hefty prize on the information of the Sanbi's current location so... yeah.
"I assume you want to talk about Naruko-chan and her newly developed ability." Stated Sarutobi, already knowing that the Abyss already knew about Naruko's new skills.
"Yes, one of our members learned about it and we have high hopes for that ability. After all, if what some of our more RPG knowledgeable informants say is true that dungeon making ability can allow her to get her hands on some very valuable, or outright unique, objects if she is any good." Explained the man, sitting down with a smirk.
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew what the Abyss wanted Naruko so much, they were a auction house that was independent of nations. They got 40% of all the money one got for selling something which, by the prizes of most items, would give still a rather nice sum to it's original owner. They also sold information which were often more valuable than most items and sold much better.
Two rules were set though, with no exceptions: No personal information on Natural Ability Users like Naruko were sold if they registered on their website. The second one was: If you betray them... You don't want to know. The last 20 smaller ninja villages who did that vanished without a trace, it looked like there was never a village in the areas they once stood.
Therefore no one dared to do that nowadays. The organization was simply too powerful. They come into light around the time of the first Gokage meeting and diffused a conflict when the Shodai Kazekage turned down a Bijuu due to the Ichibi and instead wanted resources for his country and village. They managed to put up a decent trading offer and become mediators, if not a sixth party of their own.
"Alright, she will be coming after school with a friend and one of the teachers so you may stay to talk to her." Explained Sarutobi and the man nodded to that, it was acceptable for him to wait. He talked to the old man he had befriended when he started his job and it was rather enlightening to talk to him.
About three hours later and 10 cups of coffee did someone knock on the door. "Come in it is open." Said Sarutobi aloud to the person outside and through the door burst a certain, short girl with red hair.
"Jiji! I need to tell you something!" Shouted the little girl as she stormed in, followed by a slightly blushing Hyuuga and sighing Iruka. He chuckled at the little girl who stood more than a head shorter than her best friend.
"Can it be that it has something to do with your new [Gamer] Ability?" Asked Sarutobi with a smirk and Naruko jumped in surprise while Iruka looked up a bit at that.
"Wah?! You know already? But I only told Hinata-chan and she didn't tell anyone!" Exclaimed Naruko shocked at finding that he already knew.
"Naruko-chan, you aren't very subtle and there is always a detail of Anbuu watching your home at night for your own safety. You were also observed today at the academy when you and Hinata-chan were talking among yourselves." Explained Sarutobi and chuckled at the pout of his surrogate granddaughter who always wanted to impress him in some sort.
"Quite a lively little girl you have there Hokage-sama." Noted Okumura with a chuckle of his own, causing Naruko to spin around, only now noticing the man in the room.
"Naruko-chan, this is Okumura Sanmaru-san, he is a representative of the "Abyss Auction House", a organization that spans across our world. They are monitoring people who have, like you, special abilities granted by a entity known as Gaia and service them especially." Explained Sarutobi to calm down the girl, or rather direct her attention to curiosity instead of suspicion as he knew she would at the start.
"What services?" Asked Naruko, tilting her head sideways in curiosity, her big blue eyes drilling into his soul to find answers one could think.
"Selling and buying valuables, or in your case items, exchange of information, monetary exchanges, such things. Your ability could make you a rather rich little girl Uzumaki-san, if you would sell them properly and for that the Abyss exists. We provide anonymous auctions for people who don't want their names known. Aside of your abilities name or title indicating it, no one will know." Explained Okumura smiling as Naruko looked really caught up in this.
"Anything? Like a sword too?" Asked the girl fascinated, swords always sounded cool to her.
Okumura chuckled at that simple question. "Yes, swords are in fact one of our most sold merchandise due to a certain person with the ability to literally create anything perfectly as he wants it to. He specializes in ninja-weapons." Explained Okumura and Naruko was hopping up and down by this point, she liked it! She liked it a lot!
"Can I also sell wood-craftings? I have that wood-crafting skill all maxed out!" Asked Naruko and Sarutobi blinked at that, wood-crafting? Why would she need to know that?
"Sure, we have many artists selling their stuff by us. If you are really good you can get quite a good prize out of it." Commented Okumura, he knew a few people who were not all that good but sold it as 'abstract art' to the public so many bought it. "You could also try to make wooden puppet casings for the Puppeteer techniques. Many would buy those." Commented Okumura and Naruko tilted her way sideways.
"Puppet? But why would someone buy doll parts?" Asked Naruko and blinked when everyone begun laughing. Naruko was usually a rather tomboyish girl, short hair, a skirt never saw her panties, you know what I mean. But she knew things for girls like dolls and also had a veritable collection of stuffed animals that she always hid when leaving her home to make sure no one hurt "Mister Fluffykins" and his friends.
"No, combat puppets. You would only provide a outer-casing for them while the client would install skelleton and weapons in it to make it a weapon. I am sure that could fetch a nice prize." Commented Okumura and Naruko was about to ask another question when another box appeared before her.
[Quest Alert: Puppets for Ninja]
Description: Learn to make Puppet casings or even unarmed combat-puppets for puppeteers to sell them and sell at least one of them through the Abyss Auction.
Reward: 2000 Exp, 1 [?], 1 [?], 2000 Ryo
Accept?
[Yes] – [No]
She grinned, pressing the [Yes] button, a motion that drew the attention of the others. "What was that just now Naruko-chan?" Asked Sarutobi curiously as Naruko looked up, only now noticing that there were people watching.
"Oh! That was just a quest-alert just now, I get rewards if I do this but there are some items that aren't shown in here." Explained Naruko and Hinata nodded, having seen that quest alert from her point.
"Well, that is good to hear. Now Naruko-chan, Hinata-chan, I know that you plan to go into a "Dungeon" as you put it after this. I wish to send you a escort along the way, a Jonin. You can consider this a bit of a practice for when you two graduate." Explained Sarutobi and Naruko cheered at hearing that. It was pretty much him saying that he had faith that she would graduate eventually.
"Thank you Hokage-sama. Um, who is gonna go with us?" Asked Hinata curiously but with the timidness she was infamous for leaking through even now. At least her stuttering had stopped thanks to Naruko.
"That would be us." Stated a young womans voice and as they turned around they found a young woman with long, purple hair in a Jonin attire and blue eyes standing in the doorway with a sickly looking man who wore his forehead protector like a bandana next to her.
"You can call me Yugao, and this is Hayate. We will be acting as your supervisors when you go into those dungeons." Explained Yugao while Hinata bowed and Naruko beamed. Yup, definitely a fun little girl if she was always this eager.
"Well you go then, have fun and bring me some souvenir from your first dungeon." Said Sarutobi smiling, knowing from his grandson, as young as he was, that in RPG's you get always easy dungeons first and only later harder ones. The Experience points were naturally higher with difficulty.
"By jiji!" Shouted Naruko, waving before running out while Hinata bowed respectfully along with Yugao and Hayate before leaving. Only Iruka was left behind.
"So Iruka-kun, I assume you have nothing else to do for today, right?" Asked Sarutobi suddenly, drawing his Chunin's attention to him.
"Uh, no Hokage-sama, why?" Asked Iruka confused but then Sarutobi pressed a button and a gigantic stack of paperwork fell nearly on his toes, ergo right in front of him.
"Then you have a new mission for today: Help me fill out paperwork." Stated Sarutobi smirking while Iruka gaped at that, trap, the Hokage tricked him like a Naruko!
"NO!" Cried Iruka dramatically to the heaven while the eerie, evil laugh of the Sandaime Hokage was heard through the building, unheard by a certain red-haired girl with short-height issues who was skipping ahead of the newly formed [Team Naruko], as she had officially given her party that name. And she was the admin, so she decided that.
To be continued...
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Omake: What if Naruko met a friendly Kyuubi at age 10?
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"So, that is the Kyuubi Jinchuriki?" Asked the feminine man, eye twitching slightly at seeing the red-head girl who was not taller than a eight year old in his mind. And she had stopped his snake summon single-handedly. Literally, with a single hand.
"And Kurama-kaa-san says you are Orochimaru, let's see if you are half as good as they all say." Stated Naruko confidently as the, by now, infamous chakra cloak, which manifested as a golden cloak over her body with her entire body glowing golden, while her eyes turned crimson.
"Oh shi-!" Exclaimed Orochimaru, then he woke up in a cliffside with the Otogakure four around him. "What in the world happened?" Asked Orochimaru confused, especially since he couldn't feel his legs.
"Well Orochimaru-sama, from what I can tell you were blown right out of that forest with a Bijuudama. What did you fight? The Suna Jinchuriki?" Asked Tayuya with a raised eyebrow while eyeing his lower body. Or rather, as he discovered at looking down, the lack there of.
"She vaporized my lower body? Okay, that girl intrigues me now!" Declared the man, laughing maniacally while resurrecting himself at the same time. "But first I need to find a way to get past the Kyuubi." Added the man after a moment of thinking.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
Two months later:
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"Oodama Bijuu Rasen Rendan!" Shouted Naruko as she hit Orochimaru, and Manda on whom he stood, with a thousand Kagebunshin armed with gigantic, black and red Rasengan. It killed Manda. Orochimaru could barely resurrect himself from the shredded remains of his body, and Kabuto was nowhere to be found afterward.
"Okay! I leave that brat alone!" Shouted Orochimaru, that moment deciding it wasn't worth it to get that girl! He would rather face PAIN, the leader of Akatsuki, than that kid.
"Bijuudama!" Was the last thing he heard before he found himself again at the valley of the end, embedded in a 500 meter deep crater.
"Yeah, definitely not gonna challenge her." Muttered the man before vomitting blood. It took part of his belly too.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
And cut!
And here ends the first chapter of this fanfiction. It is, for all who haven't noticed yet, a NarutoxTheGamer fanfic which many others have done before me. I already before tried but this is the first version that actually satisfied my standards when I wrote it, partly also because I have people to talk to about this. Many thanks to Hikari Nova and Zdisslava for this.
I won't abandon my other fanfics so don't fret over it, I just wanted to get this fanfic on the way and have a writers block on the others so when it goes away I continue writing them, it is a mood thing.
