Well here it is the beginning of the rewrite, I want to thank you guys for waiting a little bit, the story will be mostly the same than in the first one, with some few changes here and there to make it better and more awesome

Edit: This story has a lot of names that are references to games and other stuff so they might not sound japanesse, sorry if you don't like that.
Also the chapter length gets better later on.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Growing up Naruto didn't have friends, he didn't know why, he tried talking to the kids at school and he also went to parks and places like that but everyone seemed to avoid him

So he found some escape from life in the videogames he got from his surrogate Jii-san the Third Hokage, and also some that he bought himself with money he saved up.

Naruto loved playing videogames a lot, in them he was the main character everyone look up to him and came to him when they had trouble that needed to be solved.

Whenever Naruto wasn't playing videogames he was either visiting his Jiji, the third Hokage at his office or at the ninja academy.

Naruto wanted to become Hokage in the future, if he became Hokage everyone would look up to him and come to him to solve their troubles it was like being a main character in a game but in real life.

He knew that becoming a shinobi would cut on his gaming time but he was ok with that, after all he would be able to meet people and explore places if he became a ninja. He could maybe find some of the places he saw in the games he played, of course most of them were made up places but he was sure he could at least find a similar place to them somewhere in the world.

Today was Naruto's first day in the last year at the academy, he would graduate soon and be a Genin, then he would be placed in a team and he would get to meet many kinds of people and do missions for his Village.

But right now, he was wondering, what was this blue box in front of him? It hadn't been there yesterday after all. It read:

"Welcome to Naruto the game"

As if feeling his confusion the box flashed and the text on it changed to something else

"You have been chosen to be a 'Gamer'. Your life will now follow the same rules a videogame would. You will gain experience and level up while completing quests and fighting enemies."

"What!?" asked Naruto not really getting it, all he got was that he was chosen to be something called a 'Gamer'. But he was sure he didn't have to be chosen to be that, after all he played videogames almost every day he was already a gamer.

Once again the screen flashed and the text changed.

"You might have a lot of questions but maybe it is best if you try it out first to help you understand. Please say Status to bring up the status screen."

Naruto was still confused but he followed the instructions and said what he was told to say.

A new box more thinner but taller appeared with a bunch of numbers on it, once Naruto saw it he couldn't help but compare it to a stats screen he saw in many of the games he played

NAME: Naruto Uzumaki

RANK: Academy student

LV: 1

XP: 0/100

HP: 2200/2200

CP: 6000/6000

ATK: 50

DEF: 34

RES: 35

SPD: 40

INT: 7

WIS: 17

LUCK:?

"This is like the ones I see in games, but this one is ….for me" said Naruto finally understanding what was happening.

Then his stats screen flashed away disappearing completely then the other screen he had been seeing since he woke up flashed again and new text appeared on it.

"To learn more please refer to the HELP menu. to open the help menu just think about opening it or just say 'help' while thinking about opening it. It would be terrible if the menu opened while you needed help in a drastic situation and screamed help, So it has been made so that it only opens if you want to open it."

Naruto still only grasping the situation didn't know how to really react so he thought that maybe he just had to see more into this while he thought on what to do. So he opened the help menu.

The menu had many topics and pages he could access but there was one option that was highlighted that read

Gamer beginner's guide

That seems like a good place to start. Thought Naruto and pushed it with his finger, the screen disappeared and a new one opened that explained some things he needed to know.

"As a 'Gamer' you have access to many systems, abilities and advantages a game character would have. For example if you want to see your abilities, perks, skills and learned jutsus all you have to do is think about seeing them or say Perks and a menu will appeared detailing them"

"Right now you're rank does not give you access to some benefits of being a 'Gamer' but as you gain new ranks or level up you will get access to a whole bunch of systems that will allow you to take full advantage of the 'Gamer' system."

"As a low level and low rank 'Gamer' you get access to following systems:

Reputation system

Relationship system

Quest and side quest system

Perks system

And inventory system

Please choose one to continue the explanation."

That was a bunch of information in so little time, Naruto was almost overwhelm, if he had to compare this to a game he would say he was in the tutorial but this tutorial was really text heavy compare to the kinds of tutorials he liked. But he guessed that he had to keep going and find out more about this so he decided to go in order and pressed the reputation system.

"The reputation system shows your reputation with everyone you know, from your closest friends to someone you just happened meet on the street someday. It also shows your reputation with different cities and regions around the world."

"Reputation can be in one of seven states which are the following:

Hated

Highly unfriendly

Unfriendly

Normal

Friendly

Highly friend

Admired"

"Reputation affects the prizes at the shops or if they'll even let you in to begin with. The reputation system is strongly linked with the relationship systems so let's move ahead and explain the relationship system as well before explaining what they do in conjunction."

The reputation system sounded sweet, he had always wondered how people thought of him and now with this he could find out. But he needed to wait and learn about the relationship system before using it since he wanted to understand it correctly.

And just as he thought that the screen flashed and now showed the relationship system information.

"The relationship system shows you your relationships with other people as well as other people's relationships between each other. For a 'relationship' to form both persons need to at least have talked for enough time to know a little bit about each others."

"Relationships are not measure in fixed values like the reputation system, they are instead measure by titles, like for example a father and a son may have a title like: 'world's best dad', 'caring son' or even 'dysfunctional family'."

"The connection between the reputation system and the relationship system should be pretty clear, the higher your reputation the easier it is to have better relationships with people and people that have a good relationships with someone tend to think of them better so you have a higher reputation with them. In short if you raise one it will be easier to raise the other as well."

"As a side note the reputation system has no impact in a romantic relationship that is completely handled by the relationship system."

"The relationship system should be used in conjunction with the reputation system to increase them both and grant access to more side quests, after all someone that doesn't like you or trust you would never ask you to do something for them."

Well that was an even bigger bunch of information that Naruto had to wrap his mind around.

"I'll probably need some time to wrap my mind around all that, but in the mean time I heard quests several times in there, I suppose I should take a look at the quest system then." said Naruto still confused but he moved his hand to touch the quest system button.

"The quest system is the main system you have access to, it gives you your main source of XP and Ryo as well as your main source to get Jutsus and Perks, when you do something you'll sometimes get a quest explaining what you have to do and the rewards you'll get if you manage to complete said quest"

"Quest can be divided in two main categories, main quest and side-quests. There are more types of quest if you were to divide each category further but those are the main two."

"Main quest are the ones that will probably have more impact in your life, they give bigger and better rewards than side quest but they also have a high cost if you were to fail them, it could range to death to the death of someone close to you or just a massive reputation loss."

"Side quest have less risks than main quests, most side quest will have no punishment if failed or if they do it will probably be just a small reputation or financial loss. But you shouldn't take side quest lightly as some may have high cost for failing them."

"Quests, side-quests, rewards, costs and losses. I don't get it completely but if I had to compare it to games I would say the quest I get will be a onetime thing with no repeats like that quest of the fortress of some kind of bird in that RPG I played long ago." said Naruto remembering how he had forgotten to save and he had failed to protect the fortress and then he couldn't enter again, he felt he had failed all the people in the fortress even though it was only a game.

"Quest are not the only source of Ryo and exp, you can also train in the fields by killing mobs that'll give you experience, whenever you see a mob that'll give you XP they will have their name and level atop their head as well as have a portrait of a different color, green for weak one, yellow for medium ones, and red for hard ones"

"So killing monsters also gives EXP just like in games" said Naruto as he started thinking more like the games he played and he finally started wrapping his head around all this.

"But I have a question why me, why give this 'Gamer' thing to me?" asked Naruto even thought he figured the box would probably not answer unless he touched some button. But suddenly he was surprised when the box closed and a new one appeared as to answer.

"It's simple really; someone wanted to help you get stronger."

"Wha…!?" screamed Naruto jumping backwards as he read the box, he had really thought the box wouldn't answer it had really surprised him when it did.

Right then the box changed again

"For now that should be enough explanation, let's now begin the tutorial quests. In these quests you'll learn the relationship, reputation, quest and perk systems in detail."

And just like that the box closed and a new box appeared this time with bigger letters that read:

New Quest

Get to your first day in the last year of the ninja academy and complete all objectives given there

Rewards: 100 XP 500 Ryo

Basic academy weaponry, Basic academy taijutsu, Basic academy charka control

Failure: almost impossible but if you manage to fail you'll get nothing

Naruto was still not sure what was going on but he would lie if he said he wasn't curious and excited. Curious of why was this happening to him, and what this was exactly and excited because he loved games and the more he looked at this the more it looked like a game and he was sure as hell that he would enjoy playing this game.

"Ok then, I'll check this out. I have to go to the academy anyways" said Naruto looking at his clock noticing that it was actually pretty late "I'm late!"

Naruto quickly jumped out of his bed where he had been since the morning when he noticed the blue box and quickly got dress and flew out the door towards the academy.

"Let see what this 'Gamer' thing is all about!" said Naruto excited as he ran.

Well I hope you liked it; I liked this beginning more than the last one, also I'll try to make longer chapters from now on

Leave a review saying what you think of this new version or if you're new, what you think of the story in general.

Videogame corner: this is basically where I recommend a game for you to play or you can just skip it if you want, but just so you know there's one in every chapter (I'll be re-using the ones from the past story)

Today's game: Pokémon series (Nintendo consoles)

The main Pokémon games always have the same formula, catch some Pokémon, train them, defeat the eight gyms, defeat an evil organization on the way and the elite four and the champion of the region, they are pretty fun and I like every one of them

If you're wondering Black and white and their sequels are my favorites
