Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the characters. I simply own the story itself. Naruto belongs to Sasuk…. I mean Kishimoto.
Just in case: Due to Naruko being the name created by fans, therefore being a fandom name, it is not required by me to use 'Naruko' as the name for female Naruto. Kishimoto was not the one who created this name for that version of Naruto. I will however, place any and all female Naruto stories I have within the 'Naruko' category due to the story being about the FEMALE Naruto. {Since previously I was complained to for placing my stories in the Naruto Character category; since the story was about a Female Naruto.}
I do realize that I am not the characters however I write my stories in first person perspective. If you do not like first person stories, then feel free to leave if you are not willing to give it a shot. I can understand people's preferences towards stories. Third person is more centered on description, whereas First person is more centered on feelings/emotions.
No Criticism, Flamers or any of that. Don't like, don't read. That is why they invented the "X" at the top of your browser and the back key in the address bar. Do not leave the story via the review section, seeing as that keeps you within the story that you possibly didn't give a chance.
Warning: I speak more Japanese than I do English; therefore you will find some translation errors or possibly a few grammar or spelling errors floating around. I don't have a beta reader and, honestly, I do not want one. The last time I tried to have a Beta Reader; they tried to change everything that would happen in my story. It takes me a while, but I do go back to older chapters and rewrite them or check them for errors.
Hello everyone. What you see here is a complete rewrite of these chapters to this story. While I was writing NUA{NamikazeUzumaki Akuma} I had promised to upload this story.
Here is a quick understanding of several short keys that you will see mainly at the beginning of the story; not so much towards the end. The following information will be repeated for readers in case they have forgotten what each piece was.
Linkshell – LS, Linkshell message – Lsmes, Party – PT, Dynamis – Dyno, Playonline – POL, Final Fantasy XI – FFXI, Final Fantasy – FF, Invite – inv.
Jobs: Warrior[War], Monk[Mnk], White Mage[Whm], Black Mage[Blm], Red Mage[Rdm], Thief[Thf], Paladin[Pld], Dark Knight[Drk], Beastermaster[Bst], Bard[Brd], Ranger[Rng], Samurai[Sam], Ninja[Nin], Dragoon[Drg], Summoner[Smn], Blue Mage[Blu], Corsair[Cor], Puppetmaster[Pup], Dancer[Dnc], Scholar[Sch].
The chat log had to be changed due to the limitations by this site. The new understanding of the chat log:
Say:
「Linkshell Chat」:
A tell sent to another:
»A tell that was received
(Party Chat):
[This will be for craft skill ups and party invites.]
I believe I have covered the basics of what I will be using for terms and for the chat log. In this chapter, it will be mainly there to show you the sense of how the chat log works. Do not fret, for the chapters aren't centered on the chat logs, more so around the actions that come after this chapter.
I do hope with this clean up that things will become easier to read when it comes to them playing the game for the short time that they do.
I have been playing this game since it was in Beta, so I tend to forget the terms that people might not know. For that, I am truly sorry and hope that it will later clear itself up.

It was a long day. Nothing was going right but that didn't give me an excuse to avoid what I had to do. I played this little game called 'Final Fantasy 11'; it is an online MMO. I was the leader of a linkshell of idiots. Yeah, naturally I am known as the idiot but, not to this game. This was my haven of escape and there was no way I wouldn't learn how to be a great player.
Kicking open the door to my apartment, I stormed over to my bedroom and tossed my bag onto my bed. I reached into my hiding spot and pulled out my laptop before bringing it into the, I guess what you would call the living room. I set the laptop up on the coffee table then opened up the lid to boot up my laptop.
While I let it boot up, I decided I would kick my door fully closed since it only made it to be slightly ajar. After roundhouse kicking the door, I went back to my room and grabbed my gaming notebooks plus my homework. I tossed them onto the table then bent down and opened up the Playonline viewer. I put all my information in then walked over to my fridge.
I moved stuff around in the fridge then, against my better judgment, I pulled out a soda then sat back down to log fully into the game. It started to feel like any other day, as this seemed to be a routine ordeal. To think, just a few years ago I never had my stuff where I could find it… I was as organized as a recycling bin after a dog tore it to hell just like the trash bin.
I stared blankly at the game as I noticed the normal server message show followed by a change in the linkshell message from someone I thought I could trust in not doing something like this. All it did was say something stupid in an attempt to get those that weren't online, to laugh at it. Maybe I should take away his sub-leadership and see if he'll do something stupid like this again when my message was important.
»Hanami Darkwolfman changed your lsmes again…
Hanami: I can see that… I will tell him about that
I rubbed my forehead. I swear Hanami had a radar on when I logged in. Every time I logged in, I would instantly get a tell from Hanami. We weren't even on each other's friend list! That girl was a creeper!
「Chibikitsune」: Dogbreath… stop changing the damn lsmes or so help me god I will hunt you down and castrate puppy jr!
»Destinybird is there any events for tonight?
»Mushi hm… event tonight?
»Pinkblossom r we doin something?
I wanted to hit my head against my desk. Instead I settled for groaning at my screen as I lifted my hands up in the air shouting "WHY!" as if expecting an explanation on why I was bombarded with tells not even 30 seconds after logging into the game. Though I believe the second reason I was also annoyed was because I hated how lazy some of the people were in this game on talking…
「Chibikitsune」: Damn guys… give me a breather! Jeez… I just got home, yakno?
「Mikaihime」: Hello Kitsune-chan
「Chibikitsune」: Hey there Hime!^^
「Chibikitsune」: Dynamis will be tonight's run… what zones do people need relic from?
「Dazedcloud」: I thought you kept track of that
「Chibikitsune」: I do… I'm just being lazy right now considering I just got home not too long ago and this requires me to open a book that is too far away.
I stared towards the side of my laptop where the books were. Yeah, that was too far away… I waited in silence for people to answer my question… but no one did. I growled as I reached over and grabbed my book then opened it. I scanned through my information to see where people needed gear from the most. "Darn… looks like Xarcabard wins yet again…" I grumbled as I tossed the book to the side.
「Mushi」: What time will dyno be at tonight?
「Chibikitsune」: 5:30 like always… also zone winner for tonight is Xarcabard it seems
「Mushi」: Okay
「Destinybird」: Alright.
「Darkwolfman」: but I cant get anything from there!
「Chibikitsune」: Don't complain… I asked in ls who needs what relic, no one answered. I can't get gear from there either so keep your mouth shut.
「Raveneyes」: Yo pup, remember Foxy is 20/20 relic in the ice zones… in total she would be missing only 2 relics out of all the zones.
「Pinkblossom」: y do u do dyno then if you don't need?
「Chibikitsune」: Simple… because there are people like you that do need relic
I rubbed my forehead then sighed. It was nights like this that made me not want to log into the game despite the fact that I was the leader of the linkshell. Half of the members seemed immature and it let me know how old they were. Considering the fact that when most of these members joined, they thought I was either in college or a writer. I guess that would be better than what I really am… a high school student who apparently is failing all her classes. Yeah, that isn't fun at all.
»Darkavenger Hello.
Darkavenger: Hey there!
»Darkavenger How was your day today?
Darkavenger: Ugh… don't get me started… it could have been better…
It was the truth. Every day it seemed to get worse with how I was treated in school plus how teachers graded all my work. The only people who knew this factor was Darkavenger and Mikaihime. It always angered both of them. Mikai always said she would have a talk with them… but I always told her no, not to bother.
「Mikaihime」: Kitsune-sama… how did that essay you had to turn in go?
「Chibikitsune」: Oh you know… Teacher instantly put an 'F' on it yet again!
「Pinkblossom」: psh ya r8!
「Darkwolfman」: wtf? Seriously?
「Hanami」: ur parents should complain…
「Raveneyes」: …
「Pinkblossom」: ya they should!
「Darkavenger」: …
「Hanami」: wut?
「Raveneyes」: Foxy is an orphan…
「Pinkblossom」: well… shes got foster parents then r8?
[Darkavenger invites you to join a party.]
I sighed as I accepted the party invite. I was annoyed as hell at the whole linkshell, and I guess Darkavenger knew that. When everyone joined the linkshell, Raveneyes made a rule, being as he was one of the sub-leaders, to never talk about family or anything like that in the linkshell. He stated not to even talk about mine, to avoid it at any and all costs.
I wasn't sure though if I was angry or annoyed over that factor or if it was the factor that Hanami and Pinkblossom didn't seem to know how to speak properly. I told them a few months ago, to at least not put numbers down to finish their words… that obviously never happened. If you are that lazy to type, then don't even bother playing this game! Half the time I can't even understand people that talk like that!
(Darkavenger): I want you to just ignore the ls for now at least until the event… Raven will take care of it… on a side note, got any HW that you need to do?
(Chibikitsune): Ya… no clue why I do this HW when all the teachers don't even give me a chance!
(Darkavenger): Because it gives you more to complain about to me so we have something to talk about?
(Chibikitsune): HEY!
I couldn't help myself but to smile. Darkavenger was always there for me and he knew just what would make me feel better. It was always fun to think back to when we had first met. It was back in the summer before seventh grade started for the both of us. I met him when he was just starting out the game. He originally was an elvaan male black mage named 'Chidori.' He was in East Sarutabaruta trying to kill a crawler, which was one of those annoying caterpillar things. He was only a Lv.2 without any MP left to fight. I just happened to be running by out of boredom on my Lv.50 Red mage.
I saw him struggling on the crawler and felt bad so I stopped running and tossed him a cure and a few buffs to get him going. When he finally defeated the monster I began explaining to him how the game worked. About a week later a tarutaru, this was my choice of race, came up to me. Their name was 'Darkavenger', while the character they chose was the common silver haired tarutaru with a samurai ponytail in the back. You would always see this character running around in Vana'diel.
He began talking to me as if he knew me, which had me completely confused. That was until he thanked me for all the pointers that I gave him when he first started. He told me that he got his own account and explained why he got one then told me why his character wasn't 'Chidori' anymore. He explained that it was now his older brother's mule that held his crafting items. It has been maybe 5 years now since we first met. Now if you look at us, we were really close buds in the game.
I smiled then opened up my notebook and pulled out my homework. I started to work on it as every now and then I peered up to see if Darkavenger said anything in party.
(Darkavenger): Hm… want to do something while we do our HW? Kind of boring only working on this alone without doing anything… plus we got an hour to burn.
(Chibikitsune): Sure, why not? What would you like to do then for an hour?
(Darkavenger): Hn… How about Campaign? If I recall… you said you needed more allied notes still to get some gear…
(Chibikitsune): Some? I don't even have 1 piece of gear from campaign!
(Darkavenger): So is this an agreement or an 'I don't know… what else is there to do?'
(Chibikitsune): Sure
(Darkavenger): … Sometimes I swear you like to watch the world burn… which is it?
(Chibikitsune): hahahaha!
(Chibikitsune): Let's do 1 battle… I think that should be enough time before gather starts
We both headed into the past while wearing subligars, which were just like panties… Sometimes we wished we were a Galka just to blind some of the people that did campaigns. Raveneyes swears we are both screwed up in the head whenever we run around in any 'serious' event wearing a subligar. I personally think it lowers the stress level in the members!
After making people complain that we shouldn't be wearing subligars at our level, it was finally time for Dynamis… Which should have been named 'Dienamis'… because of how many times you died… Or that probably was just me considering I was what you call the 'sack' puller which always ended up taking hordes of monsters miles away while the tanks pulled the notorious monster off of you.
Makes me wonder how my thief was still capped.
「Pinkblossom」: wut r jobs 4 tonight?
Ignoring her inability to type, I pulled out my book and looked over everyone's jobs then looked at the linkshell list to see how was online. Quickly noting who was online, and marking them as here for the attendance I began listing out the jobs; knowing that Raven would help me since he was the sub-leader for listing jobs.
「Chibikitsune」: Alright we'll have these people change to this… Pink on Whm, Hime on Blm, Mushi Blm, Hana Rdm, and Cloud on Brd
「Raveneyes」: I will be on Pld, Foxy will be on Thf while bro is on Nin… Wings on Sam and Bird on Blm too
「Chibikitsune」: Dogbreath we need you on War this run rather than Bst and GY… your normal monster Mnk please!
「Darkwolfman」: stop calling me dogbreath! And changing now
「Pinkblossom」: y am I always whm?
I sighed as I rolled my eyes and mumbled 'gee… I wonder why…'
(Chibikitsune): Because that's the only job I trust her on…
(Darkavenger): Damn you! I was drinking something when you made me laugh!
Dark 0 Me 1. Oh yeah, and it was only the start!
「Raveneyes」: epic…. Just epic… Foxy made bro spew out his soda from his nose! I wish I recorded it!
「Pinkblossom」: r u talking about me?
「Chibikitsune」: No. I just told him a joke; you know… the normal.
(Chibikitsune): Of course I'm talking about you… you dumbass
I never got along well with Pink because of her attitude. She was smart to an extent… and that extent was this. She gave female gamers a bad name and it always put me down when I tried to do something on this game.
»Raveneyes You are such a good liar, you know that?
Raveneyes: It just comes naturally for a sly fox like myself!
»Raveneyes Is that an invitation I hear?
Raveneyes: Where the hell do you even get that idea?
I shook my head as I geared up my thief for the event. I could tell by people joining in on the party chat that DA had invited people into the tank party before tossing me the leader as I finished putting on my last piece of gear.
Mikaihime: Can you start a PT? Invite Mushi, Cloud, Bird, Dogbreath, and GY.
»Mikaihime Sure!
Dynamis in Xarcabard went very fast despite Pink complaining that there was other people in the linkshell that had White Mage leveled. She just didn't seem to grasp that because she didn't have any of the other jobs we needed, that she couldn't swap with someone else for that run. Relic farming was much easier than trying to go for the win in the zone… it was the first time we didn't have to go for the win since we didn't have any new people join in the linkshell.
The outcome of the run… DA finally got his thief the relic hands that he had been after since we started the linkshell together. I marked him down for getting his Assassin's armlets as he happily spammed my tell log with his excitement. Wanting to test out his new hands, he said we would do an experience points party and he would pull, which allowed cloud to come on a job to actually get some experience points rather than getting merits on his bard.
I heard a knock on my door, causing me to raise my brow. I returned the leader status to DA.
(Chibikitsune): Guys, there is someone at my door, DA take leader please.
(Chibikitsune): If I'm gone for too long, just kick me and worry later.
I got up from the floor, ignoring the chime I heard come from my laptop telling me that I received a tell. I walked over to the door and answered it.
-AN-
The original chapter to this story was very short. It was because I originally had this story written in a very small notebook. So what seemed like 1.2k words and over to me, was only 878 words long. Due to this, I had planned to go back and completely rewrite the story when I had the time and chance. It went from 878 words to 2,603 words after rewriting it.
When I originally published this stories first chapter… I was in the middle of actually installing the game. Well, more so of Re-installing since I had just got my new PC in that day… I had installed many other things before I even got to the whole part of installing FFXI itself.
The name of this story literally means "Final Fantasy Online"… I was too tired to come up with a better name… or to be lazy enough to just use FFO or Final Fantasy Online… because then it would confuse people why there is a Final Fantasy story listed as Naruto and then I would get complaints that this story wasn't in the right area… when it was… blah blah blah… Never worth fighting with others over such things.
I've been playing this game since the beta I would say… I'm not even sure… I just know that the cap was like 50 or 60 or something… and it was annoying as all high beings to solo that stuff at the time!
To all the new readers… congratulations on reading this story after it was rewritten to a better version. If you get the top information plus this bottom data about my accounts… that means you were lucky to read a new version.
Hope my new readers enjoy this.
I have created accounts on Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook for you guys to follow me so that there isn't as much confusion on when chapters will be posted or information like that. You do not have to ask for permission to add me, as long as you aren't a troll or something like that.
My username for Tumblr and Twitter are also DaemonDeDevil but for ease, I have the links to my accounts for those sites in my profile at the top.
That is all.
