Naruto: Game On
A/N: Hello ladies and Gents! Welcome to Naruto: Game on! As you can guess this is gonna be a gamer Naruto fic. I've taken a lot of inspiration from stories such as "Naruto: Game of the year addition", "Naruto: Dawn of the Gamer", "When Signing a Contract Always Read the Fine Print", "Dragon Ball: RPG Rebirth" and "A Cold Game to Play" as well as numerous other stories. This is my first story so things may be a bit rough to start. The characters may act a little random at the start, goofy one moment and serious the next, and the writing style may be a little all over the place the first few chapters. Though that's mainly just b/c I'm inexperienced and trying to find a writing style that fits me. As we progress things should cement. Anyway enough about me being a newb! Before we get the story I just want to state of few things in regards to it.
1. Since this is a gamer fic it will be mainly light hearted and hopefully humorous, however it will have its fair share of serious/tense and suspenseful arcs/chapters/scenes.
2. Naruto and crew will be powerful in this fic. Its unavoidable really, given the type of fic this is. Expect a lot of elite shinobi to be born in this story. However fear not! Powerful heros mean powerful villains!
3. I respect Kishimoto's work and world (cannon) and as such a good bit of this story will be pulled from the cannon storyline such as Kaguya, Madara, Juubi, etc. I get a lot of people don't like that but that's mainly due to how poorly they were handled towards the end of Shippuden. And that leads me to my next point.
4. I'm trying to build a world here. Kishimoto made a great Universe that has limitless potential with Naruto. However a there a lot of finer details missing and things that were rushed and not fully flushed out. I want to go really hard on character development for any and all key characters and show what makes them tic (at least in my story). Be that Naruto, Orochimaru or even Kiba. I also want to stress that any significant power gains will makes sense has to how and why the occurred. Be that characters being smarter than they should be or getting a ability much earlier than they should. Also on the world building note, any major events will have subtle or even obvious hints leading up to them. Save for things that are meant to be shock-n-awe.
5. Tropes will be used! Seeing as how many Naruto fics there are out there it's nearly impossible not to use some tropes (commonly used ideas ex: gravity seals). However refer to #4, they will make sense. Also this WILL be a Harem fic. However it WON"T exceed 6 girls unless YOU ask for it. Also refer to #4. It wont just be random girls throwing themselves at him. Relationships will be developed over time for different reasons and there will be road bumps.
6. I have an overall idea of how I want this story to end but the roadmap is still pretty foggy. So any suggestions for arcs would be appreciated.
Final: This 1st chapter may be a little slow as it is mainly explaining how the game works. There is a hopefully funny sequence towards the end though. Enjoy!

Chapter 1:Welcome to the Game
9-year-old Naruto Uzumaki never had the most normal of lives. He had naturally heightened senses that could give even the most seasoned Inuzuka a run for their money. He was really smart for his age, even though he acted like a retard for appearances sake. He could also "feel" the emotions of most people and had a strange obsession with the color orange.
There's also the fact the 90% percent of the village seemed to hate him for an unknown reason. Little did he know, he had a giant fuzzball with anger management issues sealed inside him, but more on that later. Currently our hero in training was sitting on his couch nursing a bump on his head with a ice pack while staring at a strange blue light floating in front of him. Let's do a quick recap to see how he got here.
(Time style: 5 Minute Flashback No Jutsu)
Naruto always thought of himself as a highly imaginative person so he wasn't as originally concerned as he should've been when he woke up to see a shining blue ball of light in his face.
"Hmm, i'm gonna close my eyes and count to three then it will be gone" said Naruto as he closed his eyes. "1….2...and 3!" He opened them again and it was still there. "Okay, okay. That's fine i'm just gonna try pinching myself this time" said Naruto as he tried to remain calm. He closed his eyes and pinched himself. When he opened his eyes this time…. It was still there.
"Now at this point there's only one thing left to do…." said Naruto as he scratched his chin and nodded sagely. "AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Shouted the 9 year old has he shot out of his bed in a very cat like manner. Somehow Naruto jumped all the way to the ceiling and bumped his head before crashing back down.
"Ow! Dammit that hurt!" Cursed Naruto as he massaged what would soon be a huge lump on his forehead. He pulled himself off the ground and walked into the kitchen. He mumbled to himself as he pulled an ice pack from the fridge. He turned around and saw the light had followed him. Needless to say he was creeped the hell out by this. He took a deep breath and walked to his living room to further assess the situation.
(Time style: Present No Jutsu)
For several minutes Naruto intensely stared at the orb. He endlessly wondered what to do until he had a brilliant idea. Einstein himself couldn't have thought of a better plan….He touched it. (A.N. Did I say he was smart? I take it back..) As soon as his hand made contact with the orb blue light filled the room. When the light died down instantly Naruto noticed a futuristic watch with black and blue highlights on his arm. The watch's band was made of a sturdy yet comfortable metal. The frame of the face was made of the same metal and shaped like a rectangular hexagon and fitted with what appeared to be a touch screen.
Naruto guessed it was some type of smart watch. His assumption was proven to be true when the watch hummed to life with a light blue light. Naruto looked at the screen and saw the word start in the dead center of it. Seeing no other option he timidly pressed the screen. Nothing could have prepared him for what happened next. Naruto watched in awe as the watch projected a 3D hologram screen in front of him. Soon words formed on the screen. It read:
"WELCOME! Thank you for bonding with the GNW 5K! That stands for Gamer Ninja Watch 5000 by the way. This watches most basic functions include a gps, calendar, mp3 player, heart rate monitor, built in communications device and of course a digital clock. Now that i've gone over all the boring stuff let's get into fun stuff! You have been chosen to be one of the few lucky souls to be blessed with the gamer ability! As you may have guessed the gamer ability allows you to look at and interact with the world around you like a video game! How Awesome is that?! CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE."
"The Hell….." Was Naruto's intelligent reply. After taking a few seconds to snap out of his shock he pressed continue. He watched as the text shifted.
"Now then young gamer, it's time to explain what's going on. Now that you have bonded with the GNW your life has basically been turned into a MMORPG. As such you will be able to accept quests and missions, earn xp and money, earn and loose reputation, complete dungeons and raids and earn loot! The GNW has been designed to act as your main interface/menu. As it will keep track of various data such as your stats, active quests, money, experience, reputations, etc. Now that you've been given a general overview, it's time for a more in-depth tutorial. CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE."
Now that made more sense to Naruto. Given the fact he was largely disliked by the village Naruto led a relatively lonely life. The only people he had any constant contact with where the Ichiraku's from the ramen stand and the 's for that reason that he turned to playing video games to make up for his loneliness. He especially liked and and excelled at MMORPGs.
Curious about this new development, Naruto clicked next. He watched in fascination the holo screen changed and showed him what the watch's screen would look like when he wasn't using the "special" features.
"This is what you watch will look like to others around you who don't know about the game and to you when you aren't using it. You can consider it the "standard form" In the top left and right corners it displays the date and and time respectively. Directly under that is the heart rate monitor and gps. At the bottom you will notice three icons, a music note, a communication radio and the letters "GN". The most important of these is the GN icon since the other two are self explanatory. CLICK THE ICON TO CONTINUE. "
"Man, oh man! Those are just the basic features and they're sweet. This thing is gonna be soooo useful!" Said Naruto with excitement in his eyes. He noticed the holoscreen had disappeared and was in its standard form but, the only part of the screen that was lit up was the GN icon. He tapped it and watched as the holo screen reappeared.
"As you can see the GN Icon will be the your main way of accessing your watch's "special" functions. CLICK NEXT TO LEARN MORE."
A tap later and the screen changed again. This time it had the words going down the words where:
Status
Skills
Quests
Pause
Equipment
Inventory
Rep. & Rel.
Naruto noticed that the status Icon was the only one highlighted so he tapped that. He watched as the screen changed again. Here's what it read:

Bio:
Naruto Uzumaki, a child whose origins are shrouded in mystery and false truths. He is the pariah of Konoha and as such he has been hated and treated unfairly by the Village all his life for reasons unknown. Due to this he developed a love of pranking and video games to alleviate his loneliness. Despite it all he still has hope in the people of Konoha and is driven by a unbreaking will and pure heart. Naruto strives to be a ninja of his village but has been handicapped every step of the way thus far. Rather he will crack under pressure and fall into darkness or rise above his oppression and forge a legend all his own remains to be seen.
Naruto looked at all the text with a look of interest and mild confusion. It was a fitting description but it left him with a few questions. After composing himself naruto started to read the notes explaining what everything meant. Even though he knew what most of it meant due from past games he played he still felt it was important to read incase something was different.

LUK:How often things randomly go in your favor. For reasons unknown yours is off the chart.
Active Effects: These are effects that affect you character in a variety of ways. They can be positive, negative or in between.
"CLICK THE BACK BUTTON TO CONTINUE."
"Sweet, having this is gonna improve my training by leaps and bounds. Though I need to get rid of that Pariah status effect as fast as possible though" said Naruto. He looked over his stats once more before pressing a small back arrow. This time the skills tab was highlighted. He tapped it and the screen changed.
Combat
Utility
"This is your skills tree. As you can see it is divided into two categories, combat skills and utility skills. The combat category contains all your combat based abilities and skills. The Utility category has a number of different skills that oriented for combat. CHOOSE A CATEGORY TO CONTINUE."
Naruto clicked on Utility and watched the screen change.
[Blacksmithing proficiency]: lv1 next lv=0/750 xp
[Cooking Proficiency]: lv1 next lv=250/750 xp
[Mantiniece Proficiency]: lv5 next lv=759/3750 xp
"Hmm, so this is what it meant by non-combat are based on different professions and life skills. I bet I can unlock more as I'm exposed to more venues," concluded Naruto as he rubbed his chin. He went back to the last screen and tapped combat. When he tapped it two more tabs appeared.
Abilities
Perks
Naruto's eye twitched a bit. Disregarding his annoyance, he tapped abilities first.
Jutsu
Weapon proficiency
"More tabs! Dafaq!?" If Naruto was annoyed earlier, he was P.O.'d now. In his aggravation he accidently pressed weapon proficiency.

Naruto looked at the menu with mild interest. It was very self explanatory so he tapped the back arrow and tapped on jutsu. He saw a drop down list:
Taijustsu
Ninjutsu
Genjutsu
Fuinjutsu
The eye twitch came back ten-fold. Forcing down the urge to scream out to the heavens in frustration, he clicked on Taijutsu.
Taijutsu Styles
[Brawler Style]: lv5 next lv=750/3750
[Beginner-Academy Style (flawed)]: lv3 next lv=750/2250
"I wonder why it says flawed with my academy style?" wondered a confused Naruto. Choosing to put it on the back burner for now, he moved on to Ninjutsu:
Ninjutsu List

Naruto grinned like a madman. This thing just kept getting better and better. He was a little surprised at the kage henge but he guessed it made sense. When he first started the academy he had a ton of problems with the regular henge. He tried everything but he could rarely get it to work. One day he tried supercharging it with chakra and low and behold it little interest in Genjutsu he skipped over to Fuinjutsu. He had heard the term a few times in the past but didn't know the meaning.
Fuinjutsu Catalog

Naruto was a little disappointed that the screen was empty. Seeing nothing else to do he pressed the info button at the top right corner.
Fuinjutsu: A ancient and powerful art that uses kanji and ancient patterns to create powerful seals capable of incredible can vacuum up entire oceans, create bombs capable of leveling mountains, manipulate time-space, and even seal powerful beings. The downside is that fuinjutsu is a complex art so few have mastered it. Although there are rare exceptions such as the Uzumaki Clan.
Naruto whistled in awe at the capabilities of Fuinjutsu. He made it a goal to learn about it. He felt jealous that an entire clan mastered the art. The uzumaki were some lucky S.O.B's…...Wait a minute, Uzumaki? That was HIS last name! HE had a CLAN? Was it a fluke? If not how big where they? Who else knew and why was he just now finding out? So many questions and so few answers. He swore to get to the bottom of this as soon as he to look at the perks later he went back to the main menu and clicked on the quest Icon. He was greeted by the following:
Main Quests
Side Quests
Event Quests
Seeing nothing else available Naruto tapped the help button. He was then greeted by GN's voice.
"This is your quest tab. From here you can view and track all of your wonderful adventures. Quests are broken down into three categories: Main, side and event quests. Main Quests are your most basic and vital quests. Main quest are required to progress your story and tend to be very long and difficult. Because of this, main quests yield high rewards upon completion. Keep in mind main quests are not avoidable & if you go an excessive period of time without doing one you will automatically be forced into your next available one."
"Next up are side quests. Side quests are far easier and more numerous than main quests. As a result they are less rewarding but still infinitely useful. Some sides quests can prove to be exceptionally challenging and provide rare gear. Lastly, Event Quests. Events quests are extremely rare quests that randomly spawn around the world for a limited time. Event quests are always extremely difficult and require a lot of hard work to do, but upon a successful completion you can expect VERY powerful and unique gear. Note: Quests are meant to be used as guides to push you along and nothing more. This is your world and and there are infinitely many different ways it could play out. You make your own fate."
Naruto silently took all that information before going to his last stop for now. He went to back to the main menu and tapped on R&R. Here's what he saw:
Reputation
Relations
The watch then went on to explain that Reputation was his standing with factions or places i.e Clans or villages and worked off the following ranks: Exalted, Honored, Liked, Neutral, Disliked, Hated and Exiled. Relations was his individual relationship with anyone he has made meaningful contact with and worked with the following ranks: Family, Friends, Comrades, Civil, Disliked, Despised, Enemies. It also explained that could be increased or decreased through various this he checked his reputation in Kohona

"To be honest, it's nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. Can't help but wonder what I did to piss off the Uchiha so much. I swear you dye all their clothes hot pink ONE time and they hate you for life! It's not like it was permanent or anything….bunch of stuck ups. And I always thought that guy at the ninja store had a grudge! Surprised the Inuzuka like me so much though," said decided to see how his relationships stacked up to his reputation so he checked that nexts.

Left with nothing else to do Naruto closed the page and went to the normal home screen and just processed what he heard and read. Naruto had been taking everything in rather calmly all things considered. He had been observing it with a level head and looking at it from a objective standpoint to view the pros and cons. Seeing as there were no cons in sight and limitless possibilities….he was literally shaking in excitement!
"Okay, you gotta be kidding! Not only does it look cool and have some base kickass aspects but it also turns my life into a video game! A freakin video game! With this I have complete control over my life. If play my cards right I could have or do anything I want! This thing…..is just complete hacks!" yelled out a joyous Naruto. He sat down for a good long while thinking about all the different things he could do. Eventually he had pondered enough and was about to fix himself something to eat until…
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Someone knocked on his door exceedingly loud. Getting over the initial surprise he headed to the door to see who it was and quite possibly give them a piece of his mind.
"Hey! What's the big idea! Are you….oh, it's you," said Naruto as he stared in at the person in front of him. The man that stood before Naruto was none other than his landlord. He was a bald middle aged man that stood 5'10" and wore a brown trench coat.
His brown eyes looked Naruto over with disinterest while stroking his grey beard before finally speaking. "Yeah, it's me brat. Rents due by the end of the day so pay up or... GET OUT!"
He turned to walk away. Only to stop and look over his shoulder and speak to the blond again. "Not sure why you're still here but the Academy starts in 15 minutes so if you don't want to be late better get a move on ya dumb brat," said the landlord in his gruff voice. With that being said, he walked away.
Naruto's eye bucked. He had completely forgotten. Today was the start of his 2nd year at the Academy. He had intended to be early today but the whole gamer thing distracted him. He grabbed his gear and started to head out, but suddenly a notification appeared in front of him.

"Huh, there's no decline option for this one. Not that I would but still…. And what's with the question marks? Must be because it's a main quest," said Naruto while a voice filled with curiosity. He then looked at both the time limit and the failure rewards once more.
He sighed and said, " I need to get all the way to the academy in 15 minutes? Oh this is gonna suck! Well here goes nothing!"
He accepted the quest and shot off like a rocket. He took to the roofs knowing that he couldn't go as fast one the streets. He was determined to get to class on time. He would NOT be late!
(Time style: Time skip no jutsu)
Naruto had been running for about around 4 minutes and had made decent distance but still had a long way to go. 'At this rate I'm not gonna make it,' thought Naruto as he gauged the distance between himself and the academy. He went into a trance and ran as fast as he could but then…..
SCREEEEEEEEEEEE! MMMEEEEEOOOOOWW!
He stopped cold in his tracks as he heard one of the worst sounds in his life. He peered over the edge of the roof he was on and saw a white cat with blacks stripes running across its body, much like a tiger's stripes, and a red ribbon on its ear. It was screaming due to the fact that a lady who was a few pounds shy of being legally classified as a hippo was hugging it death.
"Oh Tora-chan! I know you love mommy but there's no need to scream so loudly. I can only give you so much attention while we're here. When we get home i'll give you all the hugs and kisses you'd ever want!" said the lady If anything, the now identified Tora seemed to squirm and scream even harder at the mention of more "affection".
Naruto stared on with a mix of horror, pity and a strange sense of fascination. Suddenly, Tora looked up and their eyes locked. It was only for split second but Tora seemed to speak to Naruto. Her eyes may have done the talking but Naruto read the message loud and clear.
Save me….please!
He grit his teeth and thought, 'I don't have time for this! I need to get to the Academy!' Tora's desperate screams rang out through the air. 'Alright dammit! I'll have to be fast!' he thought. He eyed a small rock on the roof. He grabbed it and tossed it at her head.
She let out a screech as Naruto ducked down. In her surprised state Tora was able to sneak away. "Hey! Who did that! Do you know who I am? I'm the wife of the Fire Daimyo and I'll- Oh no! Tora come back!" exclaimed the Daimyo's wife. She tried to chase after tora but she tired out after a few seconds.
During her escape Tora seemed to look at Naruto again.
Thank you
Naruto smiled. In his mind he had done something good. He saved a defenseless cat from what he classified as domestic abuse. Little did he know the horror he had unleashed on genin everywhere. He eyed the timer in the top right of his vision and became alarmed. He only had nine minutes left!
He ran as fast as he could and then some. He refused to fail his first quest! His pride just wouldn't allow it! He pushed his muscles to their limit. 'Faster! Faster! Must go Faster! Won't be Late,' was the mantra he chanted in his head. He started pumping chakra to his limbs without even realizing it. He just kept going faster and faster. He had never gone this fast ever before in his life. In the back of his mind he thought of a comic he read involving a little blue hedgehog. With one final warcry he broke his limit and it all became a blur of movement!
'SONIC AIN'T GOT JACK ON ME!'
