Resurrected from the dead again, I'm back to all of you lazy bastards from an even lazier hiatus, and with the laziest excuse ever. You want to know what it is. Hiatus on stories equals lazy writers, lazy writer's equals writer's block, and writer's block equals troublesome life, so Hiatus equals troublesome life. We have to adult sometimes, and adulting is hard.
Anyway the disclaimers. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, Keeper and storyline is my own, and the 'Gamer' aspect belongs to Sung Sang-Young and Naver Webtoon.

It was a calm morning in the world of the Elemental Nations, the sky was clear, not a single white puff of cloud exposed. The sun, glowing brightly in the sky, was a small figure flew past it. Running along the green, blue, and the occasional brown roof, was a small child, no older than ten, but not any tall then a mere eight year old.
With shiny blond hair, and sapphire blue eyes, the child had a large smile across their whiskered face. Tried around their waist was an orange jacket obviously a size too big for them. Following in suit, they wore a pair of orange jeans and a black mesh shirt as well. Bound to their head was a pair of dark green goggles, and a couple paint marks along their shirt.
Behind him was a group garbed in a dark black shirts with a dark grey vest. Each one of them had a mask covering their face, each with different animalistic features on them. They chased after the child, obviously annoyed by how a small kid like the one that they are chasing is able to keep themselves ahead.
"Get back here, Uzumaki-san!" one of them called out, in a feminine tone.
"No way," the Uzumaki said, in a childish male voice. "You got to catch me first before I even let you hold me!"
Dropping into the alley below, the blond child quickly hid amongst the debris within the alley, just in time for the group to drop down as well. Looking around, they group did a thorough search through the alley, before leaving the alley. As the scene went quiet, a puff of smoke revealed the blonde child, smiling widely.
"Just another day of successfully escaping the ANBU," The blonde said to themselves, as a trash can lid went up, revealing another being.
"You missed school again, didn't you?" the man asks, causing the Uzumaki to jump back. "What am I going to do with you Naruto?"
"How about you just let me pass?" Naruto says, hoping to get out of trouble.
"That's not happening," the man says, before getting out of the trash can. "Though, I will admit, getting passed the Hyuuga guards for your prank this time does commend your ability to hide past even their eyes."
Naruto nodded his head, smiling a bit, before he looked down to the ground, as the man before him sighed.
"Tell you what," the man says, kneeling down and places his hand on Naruto's shoulder. "We'll talk to the Hokage about seeing if there is any kind of training that can help you pass the courses, even if it's just barely, but you have to take these classes seriously. How does that sound?"
"Alright, Iruka-sensei," Naruto replied, making Iruka smile.
Smiling a caring smile, the palm tree haired man got up, and fixed his dark green vest.
"Doesn't mean you're getting out of detention though," Iruka added, making Naruto nod his head slowly. "Now, we'll speak to the Hokage about the matter after school on Monday. For now, head home and catch up on your kunai and taijutsu training."
"Alright!" Naruto cried, before he ran off home.
'I hope Naruto actually passes this time,' Iruka thought to himself, as the blonde turned the corner. 'His determination is something that keeps him going, no matter how bad the situation gets.'
With Naruto, as he made it all the way back to his home, he quickly opened the door, and shut it, before looking around. Sure, his home was obviously a mess, with milk cartons everywhere, dirty dishes, take out boxes, and the occasional piece of clothing, but it was a decent home for him. Before him though, was a man sitting on a cleaned up table, shuffling cards on said table.
Wearing a simple green vest and showed no undershirt, but was zipped up, a pair of sweat pants, and a pair of shoes. His hair was gone, leaving behind a shiny dome that glistens in the day light, had a dark brown goat beard, and a faded mustache. Looking up from his seat, the man's eyes were milky white in one, but revealed a shiny green eye in the other.
"Welcome home, Uzumaki Naruto," the man says, as he offers a seat. "Please, sit for a moment."
"Who are you?" Naruto asks, taking a seat before the table.
"I am a man that has little importance in a world, such as yours," the man answers, with a smile. "But you can call me Keeper."
"Alright Keeper-san. What's with the card?"
"I'll answer your question, only if you will answer mine."
"Alright."
"What would you do with power that can help you fulfill your dream of becoming Hokage?"
"Depends if it will not cause me to become a monster, like they fear that I would be."
"Good, now these cards are special. The power I am offering you, you can become anything you wish, Hokage, Emperor, God, Blacksmith, or a simple Farmer. Do know, starting tomorrow, if you do accept this power, your life won't be the same, ever again. Do you accept this power?"
Naruto stared at the man, as he continued to shuffle the deck of cards in his hands. The offer was tempting, to achieve his dream, he could accept the offer that was on the table. A power that can fulfill any kind of dream he ever so desired. But the words 'Your life won't be the same' really stroked a nerve, one that declared plenty of red flags.
The man chuckled, almost as if he knew what Naruto was thinking.
"This power, is all your own, but will be monitored," the man answered, revealing a card of Naruto wearing a large scroll on his back. "You could become a master of Fuinjutsu, an art so powerful, it's almost borderline forbidden in the right hands. Or, become a Kenjutsu Master."
Spinning the card around, in place of Naruto with the scroll, was now a Naruto, dressed up in some samurai like armor, with a large sword by his side.
"Of course, you could also be a man that knows over a thousand jutsus, artist of genjutsu, or become a monk, using nothing more than your own body as a weapon. Anything you dream, shall become a reality to you, but this power, comes with a cost."
"What's the cost," Naruto asked, staring at the man.
"The cost, is plain and simple. You are to become my champion."
"Champion?"
"Yes, a champion. Specifically, my champion. I'll give you the power to become whatever you wish, but you must do it under my name. A Keeper's Champion, one that not many would know, but all would respect. In turn, this power is yours."
"Alright, what do I need to sign?"
"Good, just shake my hand, and the deal is accepted."
Nodding his head, the two of them moved their hands to each other's and shook, as a green fire bound the two together. Smiling a bit, he set down his deck of cards, and got up straight.
"Now, you must choose a class you want to work with," Keeper says, with a smile. "This class will determine what powers you can hold, and how strong certain ones can be. There are five base classes you can choose from, which each can evolve into different classes at certain times."
"Alright…"
"First off, is the Warrior, or better known as Kenjutsu Specialist. A warrior is the master of close-range combat, so up close and personal. Most prefer using a blade like a sword or a katana, while a few use something like an ax, rarely does one choose to use a weapon like a Hammer due to not being able to directly kill anything. Then there is the Mage, or Ninjutsu and Genjutsu users. Instead of using force, they use their brains, so their smarter than the rest, and able to use magic without relying on hand seals, called Ninshu. So, think of using certain jutsus that can cause a lot of havoc, and replace them with a more potent for of them."
"Alright, weapons or magic…"
"Then we have the Rouge, or in our case, Shinobi. In replace of using a direct or indirect style, Rouges can act as either a buff or debuff class depending on which way you're going. Buff your team with either potions or debuff your enemies with poison. They also blend well in the dark, and can use attacks to steal items off of others. Then there is the Adventure class, my personal favorite really. An Adventurer acts as an all-around depending you how you work your skills. I prefer having my Adventurers being long range with a bow and arrow or crossbow, but you can be up close and personal if you want."
"Support or all-around, and the fifth class?"
"This goes along the lines of Mage, but its call Priest, an all-around healer. You have to reduce your effort to fight offensively, and use your powers to heal, similar to a Medic-nin. You can use holy spells, but usually only useful against the living dead or demon based monsters."
Nodding his head, Naruto looked at the offers that were on the table, figuratively and literally. He saw images of himself as each of the classes, each one looking as amazing as the other. Naruto nodded his head, before placing his hand on the Adventurer card. Smiling to the young blonde, Keeper returned the cards to his hands bedside the adventurer card, as Naruto picked it up.
"Good, tomorrow you have a big day. The card will help act as a help guide for you once you awaken tomorrow morning, ready and awake. It'll show the basics of how to run tomorrow, and will look like a book. Once you're ready, you can start having people join you."
"Alright," Naruto said, nodding his head.
"Awesome. Now, I'd recommend getting the place cleaned and different clothing before you graduate. Don't want my champion dying on his first mission out of the walls."
Nodding his head again, Naruto watch the man disappear into cubes and through the ceiling, and looked around his home. "Better start now before I forget."
Sitting in a simple room, not too far from Naruto's home, was a pink haired girl resting in her bedroom, reading a book. She was wearing a baggy shirt with shorts, as there was a bowl of carrots with a bit of salt lightly touched over them. She had a magazine in her hand, which was listing off the world sexiest shinobi's in the Elemental Nation, one that made her squeal when the mentioning of Itachi and Kakashi was made.
Sitting on the floor, shuffling his deck, was our good friend Keeper with a smile on his fast. With a snap of his fingers, a table appeared before him, and the pink girl jumping, causing her to look towards the man, who had a smile. With a brief bow, Keeper started laying down the same and new cards as he gave Naruto, and sets the deck to the side, staring at the pink haired girl.
"Haruno Sakura," Keeper says, with a smile. "My name is Keeper, a man of no importance as of yet."
"How did you get in here?" Sakura asks, as Keeper smiled deeper.
"A Shinobi doesn't give their secrets away, but I will tell you that I have no attention in harming the blossoming Sakura flower, as the Maelstrom is made."
"Maelstrom?"
"A young gentleman, covered in orange, has become a champion of mine, and I wish for you to become my champion as well."
"Champions? What do you mean by that?"
"You and Uzumaki Naruto are becoming my champions, fighters that use this power to change the world. There are many others that are like you, in separate realities, with the same gift, but there is no match for any one of you."
"What makes you think I'll work with Naruto-baka?"
"Because you care, deep down, you care for the blonde. Your mind is polluted with thoughts of Sasuke, which the memories soon change from Naruto to the Uchiha. You can try to think about it, but it'll hurt, and shut you down."
"And I'll remember all the memories, if I take this gift?"
"Yes… To a rather extensive amount."
"Deal."
Nodding his head, the two of them shook hands, as pink and green fire formed together, before Sakura sat down in front of the table. Going over the same explanation to Sakura, he let the pink hair girl choose what class she wanted. With the same motions to her, as he did with Naruto, Keeper disappeared into thin air, leaving the girl alone. Sakura got up, onto her feet, and looked around,
Releasing a breath, she took the last carrot in the bowl, and started eating it, as she stared out into the village below, watching the once busy streets become quiet, as a few remained outdoors, collecting the last amount of food they were buying. A smile crept onto her face, as she looked at the kids below them, and the fact that tomorrow isn't going to have school. She curled up in her bed, and let the coming night take over, as a faint shimmer engulfed her.
-= The Next Day =-
It was morning in the lone apartment of Naruto's as he slowly rolled onto his side, and let the sun awaken him. Rubbing his eyes, the blonde slowly got up from his bed, dressed up in a white and blue stripped pajama set with a sloth cap on his head. Getting onto his feet, he stared at the table, seeing a new object resting on the clean set.
Naruto moved over to the object, seeing it was a large book, causing the kid to groan. Opening the first page, it showed there was a large table of content, ranging from how to excess 'Inventory' and any of his known skills. Chuckling a bit, Naruto looked at the first chapter, and opened it up, seeing it was only a few pages long.
"Chapter One: The Start of a Gamer," Naruto says, taking his seat. "Once when you are introduce into the world or the element of the Gamer, your life is no longer the same. The most obvious of changes would be the unneeded use of sleep, though plentiful for bonuses. Any normal being wouldn't be able to reap the bounties that the Gamer has detailed goes. After sleeping for a full eight hours, one will gain the Perk of 'Fresh Mind.'
A Perk is basically something good that affects you, like a buff of sorts. A counter of this is a Debuff, or something that affects you negatively. Fresh Mind allows the player to gains a bonus in the form of extra experience for every two hours of sleep. This means that there is four hours of extra experience that can be obtained by defeating enemies, completing quests, and any kind of skill. Once those four hours are gone, the perk disappears, but can always be regained by another eight hours of sleep.' So I could sleep eight hours for every four hours of extra bonuses… It's not going to be that cost effective is it?"
[For figuring out the effects, you have gained +1 Wisdom and +2 Intelligence.]
"Am I really going to get insulted by this?"
[Yes you are, since you aren't exactly the brightest bulb in the shed.]
Naruto looked back at the book, and skips a few lines before coming cross a new thing.
"Let's see here, 'Of course, when solving any kind of mental problem that is practical, you may get a notification that would insult you. For all intent and purposes, its only there to push the player as if it was a teacher or a cheerleader. Notifications are also there to help make training easier as it will notify you when you have completed the leveling system.' I guess that's where the skills come in on the system. 'Chapter Two: Accessing the System. To have access to your 'Inventory', 'Character', or 'Skills' you would have to use the HUD system that is embedded in the back cover of the book.'"
Flipping the book over, there was a small pendent like object, in which Naruto pulled out gently. Putting it around his neck, the once blank pendent turned orange, as a small girl appeared, wearing nothing but her hair and grass skirt. Turning around, Naruto tried to not focus on the girl, who started to giggle.
[I do hope that this isn't an embarrassing way to show up, Master.]
"Master?"
[That is correct. As the Keeper has placed you as one of his two champions, you are given a companion, like me. Both you and Miss Haruno have been giving a companion to assist you in your fights.]
"Sakura… I wonder how she's handling all of this…"
"NARUTO!" A girl cried out, making Naruto look out the window.
-=Twenty Minutes Later=-
"I hope you have a damn good reason why we're like this," Sakura says, as the two of them sit in Naruto's apartment.
"We're both called Gamers," Naruto says, sighing. "Giving to us by a guy named Keeper, and just wants us to grow stronger for some reason. Besides, I have some kind of manual if you want to read it. I got passed the first and a part of the second chapter, that's as far as I got before you called out."
"So what do we know so far?"
"Our lives are officially called RPG Characters, whatever RPG means, but we can learn stuff by doing practical observation or action to increase our stats, while sleep gives us extra experience. Not too sure on what food or water does."
"So, for now, we have to just get used to our new lives and all of that, huh… I'll read the guide, you can go ahead and experiment."
Nodding his head, Naruto left the book to Sakura, before his mind went over any possible way to access the screens. The obvious attempts would be either saying or thinking 'Character' or 'Skills' but he thought there might be something different when doing it. The blonde bastard took in a deep breath, before opening his mouth.
"Character," Naruto said in a stern voice, as a screen popped up.
[Uzumaki, Naruto]
[Level: 1]
[Title: Most Unpredictable Shinobi-in-training]
[HP: 1,000/1,000]
[CP: 500/500]
[STG: 5]
[DEX: 10]
[AGI: 10]
[WIS: 6]
[INT: 7]
[LUK: 5]
[Perks: ? Bloodline, ? Bloodline, Jinchuuriki]
[Debuffs: Malnutrition]
"Why the hell am I called a Jinchuuriki?" Naruto muttered, as he looks over to Sakura. "Hey Sakura, you know what's the definition of a Jinchuuriki?"
"Basically someone that is forced to contain a Biju, an example of one is Uzumaki Mito being the first Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune," Sakura answered, looking to Naruto. "Why do you ask?"
"For some reason the system is telling me I'm Jinchuuriki," Naruto said, frowning a bit. "If this is the reason why the village hates me, it's extremely pathetic of them."
"How did you do that anyway?"
"I just simply said 'Character' and it brought up my list."
"Character."
[Haruno Sakura]
[Level: 1]
[Title: Wilting Floura]
[HP: 500/500]
[CP: 200/200]
[STG: 3]
[DEX: 5]
[AGI: 5]
[WIS: 10]
[INT: 10]
[LUK: 5]
[Perks: Merchant's Daughter]
[Debuffs: Malnutrition, Fangirl]
"Malnutrition?" Sakura asks, as a screen pulls up. "'Due to not being able to have a proper nutrition, your physicality, both inside and outside of the game, are lowered. To remove Malnutrition, you'll have to start eating healthier.' So no dieting, or ramen in your case."
"Not my fault the villagers kick me out or overcharge me for good," Naruto muttered, before getting up. "Let's keep the whole Jinchuuriki between us, alright?"
"Fine, but it doesn't make it any less worse that we'll be hanging around together more often than not."
"That's fine with me, though how are we going to train to get stronger?"
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, before looking down, unsure of how to grow stronger. The obvious response would be having to fight each other, but a spar between the two may not end up well, so they'll figure it out on their own. Lending the book to Sakura, the pinkette left the apartment, leaving Naruto alone with his thoughts, before he started to go through some other stuff in the feature functions.
"I seriously hope this doesn't affect my relationship with Sakura-chan," Naruto muttered, as another screen appeared.
[Hyuuga Hinata: Stalker among Trade]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Surrogate JiJi]
[Umino Iruka: Surrogate Father]
[Haruno Sakura: Petal Familia]
[Uchiha Sasuke: Surrogate Brother]
[Ichiruka Ayame: Surrogate Sister]
[Ichiruka Taime: Surrogate Uncle]
"So that's how I see them... Makes sense, and I hope this just doesn't pop up anytime I say Relationship."
With that, the screen disappears, and Naruto went on with his day.
-=Sakura=-
"I guess I'm being a bit hard on Naruto for a while, huh?" Sakura asked herself, as she was walking down the road. "I mean, yeah, I do hit him a lot, but only because he tries to act that he's cooler then sasuke-kun… How can I have a stable friendship with Naruto?"
[Keeping a stable friendship with someone that admires you is pretty hard. If you asked anyone that has a close connection to Naruto, you'd learn a bit more of his past. The closest one you'd see him around is either Ayame from Ichiruka's Ramen or the Hokage. They'd know him more than anyone else in the village.]
'To the Hokage then,' Sakura thought, before making her way to the Hokage Monument.
Walking up the steps after passing through the main doors, she knocked on the large office doors, before it opened up. Blinking a bit, she bowed to the Hokage, before walking in, and took a breath.
"Lord Hokage-sama," Sakura starts off, as the elderly man walked back to his desk. "I want to understand Naruto a bit more, and I've been told you know him quiet well."
"That is correct, Sakura-san," he says, taking his seat. "Do you wish to talk about him?"
"Yes, mostly on why the villagers look at him like something bad happened."
"I can talk most about it, but I can't disclose everything."
"Alright."
"Naruto always had a tough life, growing up as an orphan, so he doesn't have many friends. Those that he does try to befriend, are dragged away from him by their parents. So when he does befriend someone, he cherishes it you can see when he speaks to Ayame at the ramen stand down by the South Gate. It was an utter disappointment he was born on the same day that the Kyuubi no Kitsune attacked Konoha."
"I've read about that, the Yondiame sacrificed himself for the sake of killing the Kyuubi. Is it because of that that Naruto is sent glares of hate?"
"That is correct."
[Relationship up: Sarutobi Hiruzen]
[Relationship up: Uzumaki Naruto]
[Relationship down: Konoha]
Sakura blinked a bit, before bowing down to the Hokage, before excusing herself. Once leaving the Hokage building, Sakura quickly made her way back home, and opened up the book she got. As she went through the contents of the book, she remembered a few things she wanted to look into the book as a reference, including parts of her class and the whole inventory system. Flipping through the pages for the first then she wanted, which was Chapter Five: Classes and You.
"Here we are," Sakura says, getting to the main page for it. "Now, to look for the Monk class topic… There! 'As a Monk in training, you are learning about patience, understanding, and manipulation amongst all that around you. There are all forms of different monks, ranging from monks that are able to manipulate the water to heal others while others that can brew all kinds of alcohol and use that as a way to stun their foes. All monks are the same, as they prefer using their bare fists or fist like weapons to fight over using any kind of other weapon.' So I can fight with my fists for the majority of time, cool."
[Why not try taking a look at the equipment you got?]
Sakura looked to her side, seeing a tiny, pink-skinned girl, wearing a loin cloth and leaves to cover up her body. Said girl waived her hand to Sakura, who hesitantly waived back.
[I'll be your assistant for the time being. Boss has created two of us so we can help you and Naruto-sama out until you reach level ten, then it's all onto you two.]
"Thank you then," Sakura says, nodding her head. "And I'll take your word on examining my new equipment."
Sakura got up from her seat, and moved over to her bed, before she opened up her inventory, as stared at it for a second, before moving back to the book, locating the Inventory topic.
"Now how do I do this," Sakura muttered, before pressing her finger against a page. "'To observe your equipment in your inventory, just select the item, and drop it onto the desired location."
Nodding her head, she did exactly that, and she started setting her equipment onto her bed. Smiling to herself, she held her hand against one of the items, and a screen popped up, with two boxes.
{Skill Learned: Observation}
{Observation-Level 1}
{Observation allows the user to see details and explications of weaponry, materials, armor, and other general goods that can be examined. As Observation is leveled up, it unlocks more detailed explanations, able to see other human being's states, and back grounds.}
{Monk Vest}
{Designed by the Temple Monks of the past, these Monk Vests were design to signify the branch, order, and training of the monk. The 'Pale White' Monk Vest signifies as a new monk, learning the three branches, six orders, and the twelve disciplines of all monks.}
"That is a lot to remember," Sakura says, as she smiles. "But does sound sort of something that I can do.
{Monk's Bandage Wraps}
{All monks were disciplined accordingly, as the first discipline is 'Our mind is clear, our body nourished, our blows deafens.'}
{Monk Leggings}
{As most monks would wear proper pants, female monks end up with special leggings under skirts, granting stronger legs. White for starters, black for masters.}
{Monk Skirt}
{Female monks wore specially design skirts that restrict no movement, and offers coverage pass normal skirts and dresses.}
"I guess Keeper is thinking kindly for me," Sakura says, running her hands against the material. "You think Naruto is going to be fine?"
-= Naruto =-
Naruto was currently staring at the selection of weaponry he could use, as well as a set of leather armor. He was currently lining up the bladed weaponry, ranged from a short sword, katana, claymore, and axes, while he had staff like weaponry lying down by the closet. There was even a bow with some arrows resting on the table, while Naruto was currently rolling his hand along the flint-tipped arrow, eyeing the base quality of it. Sighing a bit, Naruto set the arrow down, before looking at all of the choice weaponry he could use, before he starts examining them closely.
{Adventurer Short Sword}
{A base sword that is provided to all new Adventurers to choose from, alongside another arsenal full of different weaponry.}
{Adventurer Katana}
{Forged by decent blacksmiths, most ignore the use of a Katana, rare, easily weaken and sharp.}
{Adventurer Claymore}
{A large two handed sword, one and a half time the height of its user, and stronger. Is heavier than most weapons.}
{Adventurer Battle Axe}
{Based off of a normal fire axe, the Adventurer Battle axe is just a bit thicker at the blade.}
{Adventurer Bo Staff}
{Design to be used as either a hiking stick or a whacking stick, it's just a quarter size off of the bearer.}
{Adventurer Cleric Staff}
{When used properly, this curved tipped staff is a focus for most Cleric based magic.}
{Adventurer Halberd}
{Short version, it's a staff with an axe on it. Long version, someone decided to take a pitch fork, removed the trident top, and gave it a large curve axe.}
{Adventurer Bow and Arrow}
{When man first made stone tools, the first hunting weapon that is effective, was a long piece of a branch, twine wrapped at both sides, and another wooden stick straighten and sharp.}
{Adventurer Leather Suit}
{The first armor made by human hands, that wasn't remaining to look like actual animal.}
{Adventurer Leggings}
{Just be happy it's not a skirt, just skinny tight pants that likes to make a bulge on men.}
{Adventurer Boots}
{Remember the comment about animal looking armor? These boots are actual bear feet.}
{Adventurer Helm}
{All I'm saying is that it's not an actual wolf head, but made form a wolf head, your head straps made from the wolf's snout.}
"The fuck is the random comments in the details?" Naruto says, as the fairy chuckled.
[Boss was bored when he made these, it's just something we don't worry about unless it got really bad.]
Naruto nodded his head, before he removed his jacket and slipped on the leather chest piece. Looking into the nearby mirror, he smiled at the rather sturdy leather that rested on his chest. It was strapped in pretty well, covering most of his chest and his upper stomach, including a bit on his shoulders, looking a bit like a child white beater on a muscular adult. Moving from there, he removed his pants and slipped on the leather leggings, or the leather pants he prefers to call it, and gives them a good look afterwards.
Rather tight around the waist, it did self-adjust into a more baggy feeling to it, as the chest piece now covered his whole body, letting him have more room. With a bit of a jogging position, not a single stretch was made, and felt rather great against his body. Nodding a bit, Naruto slips his orange jacket back on, and look into the mirror, disgusted a bit. He tossed the jacket off, before slipped on the helmet, looking into the mirror. He shook his head, and tossed it off, before grabbing all the weapons.
Naruto first held onto the short sword, and gave it a few swings, enjoying the feeling to it. Sliding the blade into the sheath, he held it by his waist, and turned to the side, as the sword was neatly placed by his side. Smiling, he set it down and went onto the next weapon in the land, the Katana. He knew this weapon the most, seeing it was the most common weapon that he had seen, besides the bow and arrow. It looked just like how the short sword was, sighing at the idea, before tossing it aside, and grabbed the claymore.
Drawing the large blade from its sheath, Naruto tried to hold up the blade, before he let the tip dip, cutting through the chair. He quickly sheathed it back into the scabbard, before gently placing it against the wall, and went onto the next weapon, which was the Battle Axe. Gripping the handle, Naruto gave the axe a couple of swings, and swung it against one of his chairs, shattering the back rest into splinters. Smiling at the damage, Naruto set it back down on the bed, and walked over to the staves.
He ignored the Cleric Staff, and gabbed the Bo Staff, holding it in both hands. It felt nice in his hands, as he gave it a few jabbed forward, before extending it and hitting his bed, making the axe bounce. Smiling at the work, he set the Bo back down, and picked up his Bow. Giving the string a small pull, he aimed it leveled with his body, and closed an eye, feeling like he has his target in sight. Returning the string to its position, without releasing it, Naruto set the bow down and took a deep breath.
{Sword Experience Gained}
{Obtained new Skill: Blade Experience Passive}
{Axe Experience Gained}
{Obtained new Skill: Axe Experience Passive}
{Staff Experience Gained}
{Obtained new Skill: Staff Experience Passive}
{Bow Experience Gained}
{Obtained new Skill: Bow Experience Passive}
{New Bow Ability: Aimed Shot-Bow}
"{Aimed Shot-Bow}?" Naruto asked himself, as the skill pulled up.
{Aimed Shot: Bow Style- Level 1}
{By aiming down the side of the bow, you increase your strike ability by five percent, and takes three seconds to lock on target.}
"Cool," Naruto says, smiling a bit. "So any kind of gesture or movement that isn't day to day comes down as a skill. What about the Skills I actually have?"
{Transformation Technique- Level Max}
{Upon using an amount of Chakra, the user can create an illusion, or create a solid form around their body, of anything they wish.}
{Base Chakra: 25CP upon use for standard, 75+CP for solid form. 5CP/S for duration.}
"Okay, that's cool."
{Sexy Transformation Technique- Level Max}
{An interesting change to the traditional transformation, this allows the user to create a gender bent version of themselves to force perverts into a trap and dream.}
{Base use: 20CP for standard, 60+CP for Solid Form, 10CP/S for duration.}
"If it works, it works, can't change a thing."
{Replacement Technique: Level 26}
{As the name implies, you replace yourself with a different item, usually preferred to be used is the Log.}
{Base Use: 50CP/Use}
"Pretty cool, but there isn't one for the Academy Bunshin. Ah well, can't win them all I guess."
Naruto smiled to himself, before looking at all the weapons in his position. It wouldn't be right if someone walked in and saw weapons scattered all over the place. Nodding his head, he opened up his closet and started sorting out all the weapons he has, and stored them in their groups. Once everything was away, Naruto tossed out all of his broken furniture, and started looking through his book. Naruto wanted to look for a way to earn experience to help him more in his new potion of being a Champion.
"Let's see what I can do while I wait for Sakura to come up with an idea," Naruto says, looking through the book. "Quests… Jobs… How to gain states? That'll do… Here we go. 'Gaining states without leveling up is both equally easy and hard at the same time. Your states are separated into two different categories, Physical and Mental. Your physical stats are Strength, Dexterity, and Agility, while your mental stats are Intelligence and Wisdom. Even though you do have a Luck stat, that only determines on rarity and amount of the loot you obtain.
Strength is your damage and defense against attacks. Using different weapons, such as an axe or a claymore does more damage with your Strength state over using a Bo staff or short sword. It also allows you to use heavier armor and weapons as you start developing your Strength stat. It's popular for Classes like Barbarians, Warrior, and Knights.
Dexterity is your health and endurance. What this does is it effects more on how well you can defend with a shield and how long you can last in a fight in general. Not much else about this stat besides that it's the highest recommended for all stats you can develop as an Adventurer.
Agility is your speed and ability to use weapons like short swords and Bo staffs. It also lets you fight faster and dodge easier, while your speed is effected by the armor you're wearing. It's mostly used with Rouge and Thieves as they're able to get in and out faster.
Intelligence effects both your Charka reserve and the ability to cast spells without using hand signs. Honestly, it's stupid to have your chakra based off of your Intelligence, but there isn't much else we can do about it, besides the Wisdom Stat.
Wisdom effects the ability to regenerate your Chakra, lessen the Chakra requirements for jutsus, and able to sensor people around you. You can put points into your wisdom with every level up, or you can focus on Chakra to help give better control to your chakra, otherwise you would end up overloading the jutsus, making them deadlier then their original intention.
Luck is a man's worth in a gamble of cards, as well as the gamble in loot. The higher the Luck stat, the better your chances are at certain things, including, but not limited to, better chance at questions answered, rarer the chances of loot, and rarer the spawn of certain creatures.' Kami that's a lot to remember… I guess common knowledge would be better suited."
[For solving a problem, you gain 1 Wisdom point.]
"Fuck you too," Naruto muttered, before a screen appeared.
{Quest Obtained: Weapon of Choice!}
{It is time to start training under a singular weapon style. You have several different weapons to choose from, and it's best time to learn how to work with one of them for now. Recommended Weapon: Bow and Arrow}
{Quest Completion: 50 EXP, Legendary Scroll, +50 Relationship with Sakura, ?, Hiruzen}
{Learn one weapon style}
{Bonus Objective: 0/1 Bo Staff Learned}
{Bonus Objective: 0/1 Short Sword Learned}
{Bonus Objective: 0/1 Bow and Arrow Learned}
"I guess I have to do this then," Naruto says, pressing the screen. "Keeper did say he prefers his Adventurers to use the Bow and Arrow, and as much as it feels comfortable, I should try learning the Bo Staff first."
Walking back over to his closet, Naruto pulled out the staff, and gave it a couple more swings, before looking into his relationships again, before seeing Hiruzen in a golden lettering, alongside Iruka. Nodding his head, he set his targets in sight, and rested the Bo Staff on his back, before making his way to the first option, Iruka. Walking along the streets, stretching his body out a bit, he noticed there were a couple of glares and curious glances sent his way, as he made a smile. He looked down, still wearing his new found leather armor, before he looked up, seeing the academy.
Once entering the compound, Naruto made his way to his ceremonial classroom, and found his teacher looking through some papers. Hopping down the steps, making the adult look up, giving the man a smile, as he sets his paper down. Iruka made his way towards Naruto, as the blond stopped on the last step, giving him a wide grin.
"Hey there Naruto," Iruka says, as he gave Naruto a head rub. "What's up with the outfit?"
"It's my training gear," Naruto gave Iruka as a half-truth. "It's supposed to help out a bit more with my training."
"And the Bo Staff?"
"It was a gift I found in my bedroom. Do you think you could help me out with learning how to use it?"
"I can try Naruto, but Bojutsu isn't really my forte as much as it is for Lord Third. I just know the basics for it, but any advance movements, you'll have to ask the Hokage, alright?"
"Hai!"
"Good, now let's get outside so we don't damage any of the desks."
Naruto nodded his head, as the two of them left the classroom, and went outside to the dummy area. There was a wide set of dummies he could use, as Iruka rocked his head a bit. Once they found a decently secluded dummy, Iruka picked up a spare staff from the ground, and held it in his hands.
"Alright Naruto," Iruka says, as Naruto looked at him. "When it comes down to Bojutsu comes into three different varieties: Long Hold, Narrow Hold, and Wide Hold. Let's start off with the Long Hold."
"Hai!" Naruto cries, as he mimics the hand positions that Iruka has set up.
"Long Hold is where you'll hold the staff in thirds, your forward palm faces up, while your rear palm is face down. This position is your more offensive hold that you'll hold majority of the time. I want you to practice this kata for a bit, slamming the tip of the staff into the shoulders of the dummies with a downward strike."
Naruto nodded, and slammed the staff down onto the dummy, keeping his hands were they were positioned at. Naruto smiled a bit, before Iruka held onto his shoulder, making him look up, as Iruka had a frown on his face. Naruto looked down to the ground, as his teacher leaved himself out with him, Naruto looked at Iruka's eyes.
"You're trying too hard," Iruka says, as Naruto frowned a bit. "Let's start slow, okay? And listen to what I say."
Naruto nodded, as he held his staff again, close to his original position.
"Let's start with the Long Front Stance," Iruka says, as Naruto nodded. "Have your left leg stand in front of your right."
Naruto nodded, as slide his left leg in front of his right, about three inches apart.
"Good, leave your left leg bent at the knee a bit, but leave your back leg straight."
Naruto nodded, buckling his left knee a bit.
"Good, now keep your back straight, leaning just a bit forward."
Naruto nodded, keeping his back straight, with his shoulders stiffening a bit.
"Relax your shoulders Naruto, or else you'll hurt your back."
Nodding Naruto went ahead and lowered his shoulders a bit, taking a deep breath, and letting it out.
"Good, this is the Long Front Stance, your common stance for most of your combat needs. Now, let us start somewhat simpler easily called the Thrust. Let's start by bringing the bottom of your staff to your chest, keeping your hands gapped."
Naruto followed the instructions easily enough, bringing his staff to his chest, keeping the middle parallel to his hand, making Iruka nod.
"Now just thrust forward."
With that Naruto thrusted his staff forward, hitting the dummy straight in the chest, making a solid thud. Naruto smiled a bit, before he reset himself, and thrusted again, making his smile into a grin. Iruka nodded his head, and motioned Naruto to continue on with that attack, letting Naruto repeated for another twenty eight times. Once the thirtieth in total was finished, Naruto returned his gaze to Iruka, who gave Naruto a thumbs up.
"Good job Naruto," Iruka says, making the blonde cheery happily. "We got the Thrust down, now let's go to something different. In training their called side-to-side, but lets simplify it down to Swipes. Do the thrust first, but leave it in that position."
Naruto nodded, before repeating the slam against the dummies chest with the tip of his Bo staff.
"Good, now, swing the back part of the staff to his the dummy's head, and rest the front tip next to your right shoulder."
Naruto nodded, and did as he was told, slamming the back of the staff into the dummies head, while both of his hands remained where it was at.
"Finish is by returning the front point to the other side of the head, same order as last."
Naruto quickly returned his hand to the position, slamming the side of the staff into the other side of the dummy.
"Good, I want you to do another twenty nine motions on this, then do thirty combining the Swipes after the thrust."
Naruto took a deep breath and then procced onto doing what his sensei as asked of him, going over the swipes first, doing twenty-nine on each side. From there, Naruto went onto thrusting the staff into the dummy's chest, then slammed Swiped at the dummy's head, making three solid connections. Naruto repeated the process over and over, slowly building up speed into slamming the Bo staff into the head of the dummy.
Soon the sun started to go behind the walls, as Naruto finished up the last motion of the attack, panting a bit. Iruka clapped his hands, making Naruto jump, as the father-figure walked over to Naruto, crouching besides him.
"I'm glad you've taken something up to help your training," Iruka says, as the blonde smiled a bit. "Bo Staff straining helps build up endurance, stamina, and helps work your upper body. As long as you practice your movements with and without the staff, you'll become stronger than most people would ever dream of."
"Thanks, Iruka-sensei," Naruto say, as the man smiled. "Can we get some ramen as celebration?"
"Alright, but only a couple of bowls," Iruka says, holding up two fingers. "One because I don't have the money to get your usual amount, and the second because you'll need to cut it out so you can start getting better nutrition into your body so you can learn more on Bojutsu."
"Alright," Naruto says, as he sets his staff onto his back, and the two of them made their way to his normal ramen stand.

Holy shit this took a while to work out, write, and felt worthwhile in ages. First off, I do apologize about how long it took me to write some of this up, and an apology if you all loved my previous stories that were taken down. To you all, they were amazing stories to read, while to me, was a road block. I kept going back into them to see what I can alter in them, instead of fully revise and fix a lot of stuff.
Now, to clear some things up, this isn't going to be a NaruSaku, and is hell isn't going to be a NaruHina/SasuSaku story. We'll go over that in the future, but what I can say is that it's a pretty fun idea, if you already know, do PM me on the answer, and not in the review. Also taking some constructive criticism, but if it's on the line of how you would have preferred it, those will be ignored. Remember the 'Golden/Unspoken Rule' here on this site; 'We are only making stories of what we like, how we like, and why we like it. This is where our creativity can be uninterrupted and can be unhinged, as we are the writers of our own stories.'
Anyway, if you're a Naruto fan and a RWBY fan, please hit up my profile, take a look at the forums currently set up, and don't be afraid to PM me if you got any ideas you want to have looked into. I'll also be setting up a pole that'll last for a month to see the weapon and semblance wanted in RWBY.
And so, we'll start today's stats off pretty well.
Experience Leveling System: 500{(Level^2)-(500*Level)]
So this means, for our Duo to reach Level 2, they'll need to achieve the experience of 1,000. 500 *(1^2)-(500*1). If you want it step by step, here goes, the Square of 1 will always be 1 since the Square is times of itself. This means is 500-500 or 0 for level 2, but for level two it's 500*4-1,000 or 1,000 for level 2. Trust me, Original D&D experience laws are heavily taxing, reason why I'm using this as the experience output for the story.
I'll be going over each stat in the Gamer Functions with every chapter, so this will be a lot more flushed out then it'll be right here.
