Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the gamer
AN: This is my first Naruto x The Gamer fic so I hope you enjoy.
Looking out at the stone faces of the previous Hokage one ninja hopeful was staring a the face of the fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze before turning his head back to the little blue floating text box in front of him an sighs "I need a vacation or else I'm going insane. Then again speaking to yourself is the first sign of insanity." one blonde young man stated to no one in particular.
Sighing the blonde looks back at his reflection in the window, more specific the name and titles hanging over his head.
The Gamer, Kyuubi Jinchuriki
Lv 4 Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze
Running his hand through his hair Naruto says "I don't have the time for this right now." grabbing his signature orange jacket the nine year old runs out the door and heads towards the ninja academy.
Passing by several people Naruto notices their line of sight filled with fear and anger are directed towards him.
Almost tripping over a pebble as a blue screen pops up right in front of him. Stepping into a side alley the blonde glares at the message.
You have acquired the empathy skill.
Reaching out and closing the window Naruto continues on his way trying to avoid people so that another skill doesn't pop up. However moving through the alleys and sticking to the shadows causes another pop up to appear.
You have acquired the stealth skill.
Rubbing his brow Naruto closes the new window with a sigh saying "I give up."
Shinobi Academy
Stepping into the noisy classroom and letting out a yawn Naruto moves to his seat as several students look at him oddly due to his lack of energy.
Upon reaching his seat Naruto sets his head down after casting a glance over the students in the class taking note of the ones with higher levels of 7-11 mostly the students that are at the top end of the class with a few exceptions like Kiba who is at level 8 despite being on the lower end of the class academically. Another extreme is Sakura who happens to be at level 3 while having a good chance to become kunoichi of the year upon graduation.
Looking at the person to his left Naruto sees that Sasuke has the highest level in the room as well as a unique title.
Avenger, Survivor
Lv 16 Sasuke Uchiha
Closing his eyes Naruto waits several minutes for class to start. Letting his body and mind rest for a bit Naruto starts to drift of into the realm of unconsciousness.
Falling back into an infinite dark void the blonde feels as if he was slowly being crushed from the overwhelming pressure of the void startling the blonde awake.
Raising his head Naruto realizes that Iruka had just walked into the room and raises himself up looking around while thinking 'What was that uncomfortable feeling just now?' Looking back to his left the blonde notices bright pink hair that wasn't there originally and the irritated look in Sasuke's eyes.
Your empathy skill has leveled up.
Looking at the message box Naruto suppresses a sigh and looks to the front of the class room.
"Alright class today were are going to start practicing the substitution jutsu but, first someone tell me the use of this jutsu. Hm Ino."
Standing up a girl with platinum blonde hair says "Hai Iruka-sensei. The substitution jutsu is used to swap the user with a near by object namely logs, and other inanimate objects."
Iruka claps while stating "Well done Ino full marks."
Smirking ino looks over at Sasuke who is blatantly looking out the window making the girl crestfallen as she returns to her seat.
Mizuki opens the door and says "Every thing's ready Iruka."
Replying to his friend "Ok, everyone head out to the field for the time being."
-Academy training field-
Standing next to his classmates Naruto looks over at the log across from him then at his classmates who are attempting to perform the substitution jutsu at a slight distance away from him.
Slowly moving through the hand seals Naruto floods his chakra trying to activate the jutsu only to create a mass of smoke causing him to nearly choke.
You have failed to perform the jutsu. Do you wish to try again.
Yes/No
Under the cover of the smoke Naruto taped the yes button and went to try the jutsu again but not trying to force the jutsu.
Extending the chakra outwards in the direction of the log grasping the log with the chakra Naruto tries to swap places with it.
You have created the skill chakra link.
'Why don't you tell me something useful damn stupid box.' taught the blonde irritably
Try focusing on the log while holding the last hand seal.
Raising an eyebrow Naruto hears some girls cheering causing most people to look towards them and Sasuke who had replaced the log.
Turning away with a snort grabbing the everyone's attention Naruto goes through the hand seals and focused on le log just as the blue box told him and disappeared in a poof of smoke leaving a log to fall in his place.
Not even bothering to look back at his stunned classmates Naruto looks at the new message that popped up.
You have successfully learned the substitution jutsu.
Feeling a hand on top of his head Naruto looks back at his teacher as Iruka tells him "Good job Naruto. Practice a bit more and work on your speed a bit." patting the blonde on the head Iruka tells the rest of the class to get back to practice.
Returning his gaze back to the box in front of him Naruto wonders about it's origin as he continues practice all the while noticing the glances Sasuke was sending him.

Stepping into his home Naruto sits on his bed and says "Skills?"

Scratching his head Naruto asks "How was this thing able to tell me how to perform the substitution jutsu at that time?"
Due to gathered information and having someone nearby give an example the process was understood and displayed.
WARNING: This method only works if the requirements are met.
Raising an eyebrow Naruto asks one more time "What are the requirements."
The requirements vary from technique to technique.
"Well that was helpful." replied the blonde with sarcasm.
Scratching the back of his head Naruto asks "Are there any other jutsu that have met the requirements?"
No, the most common requirement is character level 10 or higher.
"How do I raise my level then?"
You can gain exp to level up by doing quest, missions, and training.
Standing up Naruto heads into the kitchen and says "Well no use in training on an empty stomach. Ramen Ramen ¯"
-Third Training ground-
Stepping into the forested area near the entrance Naruto hid himself as he moved so as to avoid the genin who were training in the open field portion of the training grounds near the stumps.
Getting a certain distance away Naruto breathed a sigh of relief before striking a tree as he settled into a stance and continued his assault on the tree alternating between his two fist.
Several minutes later Naruto backs off and starts kicking the tree with his left leg 20 times then switching to his right leg to do another 20.
Hearing chattering from the genin from earlier Naruto stops and hides in the bushes and waits for them to pass by.
"Koro-sensei where are you it's almost time to get today's mission." yelled one of the genin.
"Ah yes yes I had almost forgotten, here's your mach 20 teacher." spoke Koro-sensei as he appeared right behind his students.
"Again with the mach 20 thing sensei. You must really like that joke." muttered one students.
"Well lets go money won't earn itself." spoke Koro-sensei cheerfully as he rushed his students to the hokage tower.
Having frozen at the encounter with a jonin Naruto slowly recovers and goes back to the tree he was training on only to discover a scroll at the base of the tree.
Feeling beads of sweat the blonde reached for the scroll and tapped it while leaping away.
Seeing the scroll hit the ground and roll around a bit Naruto walks over and grabs the scroll and unfolds it.
You have acquired the chakra enhancement scroll. Do you wish to learn this technique.
Yes/No
Staring dumbly at the message Naruto presses the yes button.
Watching as the scroll turns into little lights and enters his body along with the knowledge of how to perform the technique.
Looking at his hand Naruto lets chakra flow to his hand as instructed by the scroll and strikes against the tree breaking the bark.
Stepping away Naruto looks at what he just did and does the same for his legs and dashes out into the clearing heading towards the black stone and leaps over it.
Landing in a crouch Naruto looks back to were he once was and gapes at the distance that he crossed in a moment.
Looking at the black stone the blonde notices the height that he jumped.
Noticing the leaf symbol on the stone Naruto takes a closer look and finds hundreds of names.
Going through the names out of curiosity the young boy finds a specific name and finally realizes that the black kunai shaped stone was actually a memorial stone for those who died in battle.
"Haruka's father huh. I wonder if she knows about this."
Continuing looking over the names Naruto freezes in place again and says "Kushina Uzumaki."
Feeling conflicted Naruto stands up and wipes away his tears and heads off not really paying attention to his surroundings.
Looking up Naruto sees the third hokage and Haruka stepping into Ichiraku's ramen. Walking past the stand Naruto doesn't look back as the hokage glances at him from within the shop.
-Top of the hokage monument-
Sitting on the first hokage's head Naruto looks out over the village as the sun starts setting.
"Ahem "
Looking behind him Naruto finds the third hokage standing behind him and says "Hey old man what's up."
Clearing his throat the aged hokage responds "Well when you went by Ichiraku's you didn't try to convince me to buy you a bowl or two."
"Heh that hurts old man I don't always make you pay for me." chuckled the blonde as Sarutobi silently watched the young man in front of him.
Letting out a sigh Naruto tells Sarutobi "I found the name Kushina Uzumaki on a memorial stone at one of the training grounds.'
Taking a breath Naruto turns his head around and asks "Was she my …"
Stepping forward Sarutobi pats the blonde on the head and tells him the truth. "Yes she's your mother. You know you closely resemble her in how you act out, ahh just remembering the things she would put me through gives me a headache."
Smiling at the old man Naruto laughs and asks "What was she like otherwise?"
"Very beautiful but also very, very violent especially when someone make fun of her crimson hair. She was somewhat insecure about her hair for a time but one day she started liking her hair."
Looking at the sunset Naruto asks another question "Why didn't you tell me about her earlier?"
Sighing Sarutobi says "Your parents were both very feared in the shinobi world especially your father so I made a decision to protect the two of you from your parents enemies by splitting the targets that would be on your backs."
"Me and my sister right jiji." replied the young Naruto.
Sighing Sarutobi states "So you did know. Do you mind if I ask how you figured out?"
Nodding Naruto tells him "When I see her having a hard time I just can't leave her alone. Considering that this is the extent of my feelings, the rest was just a gut feeling ya know."
"I see does she know?"
Shaking his head Naruto tells the hokage "She doesn't act any different around me than around other guys."
Looking at the sun as it finally sets leaving a red afterglow Sarutobi says "Come with me I have something that I need to give you."
Nodding Naruto gets up and follows the hokage to his office and waits as he pulls out a scroll and a hitai-ate with a swirl mark instead of a leaf.
Starting with the hitai-ate Sarutobi tells the blonde "This was very important to Kushina she always had it with her when she left the village. It bears the mark of the Uzumaki clan and the village hidden in the whirling tides. This was the only thing that your mother held in remembrance of the Uzumaki clan."
Taking the headband Naruto said "Thank you."
Softly smiling Sarutobi grabs the scroll and says "This scroll has several of your parents things including books on fuinjutsu and some other jutsu. I only ask that you don't practice the jutsu until you become genin, and stay away from making exploding tags until I tell you that you can understood!"
"Yes." replied the blonde as he grabbed the scroll and bowed to the hokage.
Smiling Sarutobi sees the blonde out and smiles at a picture on the wall.
A/N I hope that you enjoyed the story.
