A/N Thanks for the support y'all have been giving me so far! The first one did well within the first few hours, so I thought you beautiful people deserved another chapter. In any case, I love y'all dearly and thank ya kindly. Also, I sadly lost the formulas I was using for the stats so I had to redo the EXP Naruto was getting. It went from 3200 to 2600. As for pairings, I'm undecided at the moment. The only people I know for sure are out are Sakura (Cause I personally don't like her), Hinata, and Kushina. Cause I ain't about to write incest, ya feel? Also, here's a strawpoll link /16063882 and in 24 hours, I'll have an answer to what class Naruto should be.

Edit, 7/13/2018: As user Eminated pointed out, Shikamaru was dumber than Sakura. That was my bad since they were accidentally switched around. That's all my bad!

Chapter 2: Damn Tests…

Naruto awoke to a few message boxes, rubbing his eyes groggily only for his dismay to find they don't go away even if he closes his eyes. He sat up with a grunt, stretching only for a few cracks to resound out through the apartment. He looked at the first message, quickly dismissing the usual "You slept in your bed" message. He raised an eyebrow at the next one, however.

Quest Complete!

[Get new digs], [Naruto Uzumaki, Delivery Boy], +30 others

30,500 EXP, 5,450 Rep with Higurashi Weapons, 50 Rep with Higurashi Tenten, 30,000 ryo

He smiled at the amount of EXP gained, only increased by his title, Academy Student, since he was still in class. For the past month, he was going to Higurashi Weapons and doing the delivery quest every single day until yesterday when the real runner for him came back from the hospital from a disputed peeping accident. He mentally said status, grinning evilly at his stats.

Stat Points (SP): 35

Ryo: 30,200

His eyes widened a bit as he noticed his large chakra reserves. Whatever the mystery perk was, it was certainly coming in handy, even with the -50% rep gain. He tapped his chin as he looked over his stats, wondering what to spend his 35 points on. He began tapping some points into both intelligence and wisdom, bringing them to 20 as well as dumping the rest of his points into strength.

He found his eyebrow raised once again as a blue box appeared in front of his face, giving him a vital piece of information.

Your WIS and INT have become balanced, allowing you to control your chakra better.

So, Wisdom and Intelligence being balanced together allowed him to have better chakra control. Although, with his large reserves, he might as well just say no. He then got a lightbulb over his head, remembering how many RPG's had a skills/perk page that allowed him to place skill points into. He then began to try and call out to the menu. "Skills? Specials? Perks?" The last one brought up a screen that made him whistle. Half the things he didn't hear of, but many seemed overpowered from the requirements. He scrolled down till he found some available ones to him.

Hide in Plain Sight

Your stealth is so good, that people have a hard time seeing you when you don't want them to. You also gain access to the Meisaigakure no Jutsu (Hiding with Camouflage Technique)

Requirements

40 DEX, Hide from 3 ANBU successfully.

Learn? Y/N

His jaw near dropped. That seemed… so overpowered! He learned somewhere around in the month he's been training that the jutsu here would allow him to become invisible. That interested him greatly, he could imagine endless amounts of pranks he could pull. He evilly rubbed his hands as he accepted the free skill.

Meisaigakure No Jutsu (Level 1/10, 0.00%)

10 CP per second

This is a ninja escape technique that allows the user to control how light is reflected around their body with chakra inflections. The technique also erases the user's scent and shadow, and is usable on any terrain, making it ideal not only for covert manoevures but also offensive strikes. +200% effectiveness to Stealth.

He got giddy at the bonus before the usual academy quest popped up signaling for him to groan. He gets up, putting on his normal shinobi gear on, making sure his kodachi was on tight. He accepted the quest, picking up a banana on the way out before heading out. He arrived at the academy with more than 3 minutes to spare, making him take a second and blink. That was surprising. Has he really grown that much? He went from making it across half of Konoha in 10 minutes to 7. That warranted some sense of pride. He smiled widely on his way to his seat, ignoring the looks Sasuke was giving him. Iruka arrived 2 minutes later, pleasantly surprised that Naruto was early for once.

"Alright. Today is the day of the Graduation Exam, the practical portion. I'm proud of you all. You all did well on the written portion and I wish you the best in succeeding. We'll start with…" Is all he said before Naruto drowned him out, thinking about the last month of grueling training. He focused more on his Strength, being more of a Brawn type person than someone like Shikamaru, who's all brains. Speaking of which, the two have gotten close over the course of the month, Naruto initially coming to him to level his Intelligence and Wisdom up in games of Shogi. He looked over to Shikamaru, running Observe over him.

Stat Points (SP): 0

Ryo: 15,100

He blinked a bit. What the fuck was with his Intelligence and Wisdom? That Lazy Genius perk was more broken than his Uzumaki and mystery perk, combined. No wonder the guy was the smartest in our class, aside from Sakura. Speaking of which, he broke his stare from Shikamaru who muttered something about "troublesome blondes" in his daily nap, using Observe on Sakura.

Ryo: 5,100

He inwardly cringed at her Fangirl perk, thinking he had it bad. -50% to all stats? Jesus. It's not like those lost stats would come back once it's gone either. That means she's been caring more about her appearance and neglecting her training while attending an Academy for NINJA. He quickly questioned why he liked someone like her in the first place? She always hit him, belittled him, and was weaker than him. Yet, why did he punches still hurt? Feminine fury? He'd never know since he was broken out of his stupor by his name being called.

"Naruto Uzumaki, please follow me." A proctor called, seemingly into an empty room since almost everyone else went except for him, Sasuke, and some civvy kid. He got up, swallowing a nervous gulp as he followed the Proctor into a room with Iruka and Mizuki sitting a desk. "Please perform the Kawarimi, Bunshin, and finally, any other E-Rank Technique of your choice." Iruka said while Mizuki looked at the 'demon brat' with subtle hatred.

"Pass Graduation"

You're finally at the end of the school year, now is the time to show what you learned!

Bonus Objectives

Naruto nodded, putting his hands in the required seals for Kawarimi, switching him and cup of coffee they had the table. He quickly switched back, the cup of hot coffee coincidentally spilling all over Mizuki's lap.

"Sorry! That was my bad." Naruto said, holding back a chuckle at the now distraught Mizuki, having him groan in frustration. "Just continue!" He said, irritatedly. Iruka did a hand motion to calm his assistant instructor down. "It's fine Mizuki, I'll grab you another one after this. Continue Naruto." He said, scribbling notes down as Naruto performed another E-Rank technique, purposely delaying the Bunshin. He knew for a fact he couldn't perform a Bunshin, he's tried too much to know. "Now the Bunshin, Naruto." Mizuki said with a bit too much entertainment in his voice.

He sighed before putting his hands in the needed signs, his bunshin looking like it got ran over by a stampede of raging women who wore high heel cleats. Iruka sighed softly, shaking his head since the Bunshin was the highest weighted thing on the test. "I'm sorry Naruto, but you failed." Iruka said with a pang of sadness striking his heart. He knew how much this meant for Naruto, but he didn't have enough points to pass. Naruto, however, was heartbroken. He trained as hard as he could for a month, and it seems not even that was enough. He nodded and left the room silently, holding back whatever small amount of tears that threatened to let loose from his eyes. He wouldn't cry. He made that a promise to Hokage-jiji a long time ago. He sat on the swing outside the Academy, watching as all the kids left with their parents, donning their new headbands.

Mizuki, however, was inwardly smiling. This went all according to plan. Who would suspect the dead-last was getting almost failing scores on his tests, regardless if he got them right? No one would suspect Mizuki, loyal Chunin to the Konoha Village. Pfft. Loyal. Loyalty to this place only cost him his lover and fed fuel to his rage. It's the only reason he was working with the fucking snake. But in any case, he needed to get this done before he was found out. He knew they were close. They were sending more and more shinobi to areas he was in, and it was only a matter in time before they brought him in.

"Hey, Naruto." He called out, making the boy in question snap his head up, looking up at him with teary eyes. How he relished in the moment of the boy in anguish. Call him sick, but this bastard took his lover. He squats down next to him, trying not to show any sign of anger of being near him. "I'm sorry to hear you failed, however…" He said, a smirk on his face. "There's a secret test allowing you to be directly promoted to Chunin if you pass it. It was used in the Shinobi Wars to get promising students where they belong, like you." He said, every single word being bullshit but he needed to lie, otherwise the demon brat won't agree to go with him.

"Pass the Secret Test"

Mizuki wants you to sneak inside the Hokage Tower, steal the [Scroll of Sealing], and learn one technique from the scroll.

Naruto looked at the textbox with a blank stare before quickly nodding, a fake smile on his face as he looked up to Mizuki. "Thanks, Mizuki-Sensei! I'll gladly take this chance!" He said with enthusiasm, making Mizuki laugh on the inside. How dumb was this kid? "Perfect, meet me here at 2030 hours, alright?" He said, pulling a map out of nowhere seemingly, pointing to a forest near the entrance of Konoha. Naruto nodded quickly, confirming the acceptance of the quest. "Yes, Mizuki-Sensei! I won't let you down!" He said, smiling wide before Mizuki Shunshin'd away. This gave many things for Naruto to think about, mainly about the failure box of the quest. He'd die if he failed this quest? What sort of bullshit is that? This just meant he have to make sure he couldn't fail. He wouldn't. But in any case, he had to go prepare for the quest, his thoughts taking most of his attention as he began walking back to his apartment.


The time was now dusk, the darkness hiding Naruto from view as he sneakily made his way up to the Hokage Tower, climbing up the side of it until he got to where he wanted to be. A window leading to the inside of the Hokage's Personal Library. He snuck his way in, grabbing the Scroll of Sealing only for a loud 'ahem' to make him freeze like a deer in headlights. He turned around to find the Sandaime Hokage looking at him with a very displeased expression on his face. "Naruto, would you mind explaining what you're doing?" He said, his voice stern and cold before Naruto laughed sheepishly, replying with a stutter. "W-Well, I… I… Uh… Oiroke No Jutsu!" Before turning into a naked, blonde woman with the clouds hiding all the good bits, making the Sandaime Hokage be thrown into the nearby wall by the force of his nosebleed, knocking him out. Naruto cancelled the technique, looking at his foster-grandfather. "Come on, Jiji. That's just shameless." He said, shaking his head softly before leaving the Hokage Tower. He still had an hour to learn the technique, finding a tree to sit under.

He opened the scroll with a bit of his blood, his eyes getting assaulted by the large amount of textboxes. He stopped on one that piqued his interest the most. Which one was that, you ask? Why, it's the thing he'll become famous for. The Kage Bunshin. He selected the option, a textbox appearing detailing what it was.

Kage Bunshin (Level 1/100, 0.00%)

½ CP per Clone

Similar to the basic Clone Technique, this technique creates copies of the user, however, these clones are corporeal instead of illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own, including the Shadow Clone Technique itself, and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after hit by a strong enough force. The clones can also disperse on their own, or be dispelled by the user of the technique.

Requirements

3,000+ Chakra

Accept? Y/N

He's never pressed Yes faster in his life, absorbing the knowledge of how to use the skill, sighing once it was done. He still had another 50 minutes, so he might as well learn as much as he could. He went to another box, one that caught his interest instantly, called "Wailing Dark". When he channelled chakra into it, as per the instruction of a tutorial box on how Seals work, a long, completely black katana came out of it. He looked at the item with awe, using Observe upon the weapon.

"Wailing Dark"

Legendary Weapon

Wailing Dark, the legendary weapon of Augus, one of the Seven Deities. It's a Katana that when swung, is sharp enough to cleave the tops off of mountains. No light is reflected from the blade, and when the blade comes into contact with an object, screeching is heard. Thus, it's name, Wailing Dark was born. It bears a special ability to extend as much as the user wants.

Sub Ability: Extension

50 CP per 6 inches

This ability allows it to scale into large proportions, the extra length adding no weight to the sword, keeping it's sharpness.

250-500 DMG

150000/150000 Durability

If Naruto wasn't in such a time-pressed manner, he'd gone off and tried to do what Observe told him; cut the tops off of mountains. Though, he had more pressing matters at hand, so he stashed the weapon on his side, the sheath fitting to his pants. He scrolled down the list of available techniques until he got to one that sounded horrible but could be used in so many ways.

Chakra Flow (Level 1/100, 0.00%)

100 CP per Cubic Inch + 50 CP per Second

This ability allows you to flow your chakra into any object you desire, strengthening it or destroying it from the inside. The Chakra you flow into an object, such as a weapon, can increase it's sharpness, durability, or other various factors.

Max Range: 30 Cubic Feet

Requirements

2,500 Chakra, 30 STR, 20 INT, 20 WIS

He swore to Kami these abilities were made for him, maybe she was finally showing some love to him after all. He quickly accepted the ability before he heard a twig break, causing him to look over and spot Iruka. Before he could say anything, it's like his body entered a cutscene. "It's all over." Iruka said, a hint of anger within his voice as Naruto replied. "Got me already? Not bad. You're quick, Sensei. I only had time to learn one technique." He lied, as if on auto-mode. He couldn't control any of his actions, watching as Iruka only stood there confused.

"Listen, Iruka Sensei! I'm going to show you this amazing Jutsu and you're going to let me graduate and everything will be okay. That's the way it works, right? Anyone who learns Jutsu from this scroll passes." Naruto said happily, confusing Iruka more. "Huh? Where'd you get that idea, Naruto?" Iruka asked while Naruto replied with the same cheery tone. Mizuki Sensei told me about it. Believe it." He said, turning around to show Iruka the scroll on his back. "He told me where to find the scroll…" He said, turning back to Iruka. "... And this place... " He said, stopping as he noticed the shocked expression on Iruka's face. "Huh? Mizuki?" Was all Iruka got to think about before he sense a kunai incoming, looking over his shoulder to only push Naruto out of the way. "Look out!" He shouted before taking the kunai. It knocks him back to the wall of a nearby hut, other kunai shown to be pinning him there with one in his leg. Mizuki decided this was the time to speak. "I see you found our little hide away." Iruka looks up toward Mizuki in the tree, a small scowl on his face. "So that's the way it is, huh? I should've known." Iruka said, Mizuki looking towards Naruto.

"Naruto! Give me the scroll, now!" He commanded, knocking Naruto out of his stupor. "Wait a minute…" He said, looking to Iruka then to Mizuki. "What's going on here?" He said, looking back to Iruka as he pulled a kunai out of his leg. "Naruto! Don't let Mizuki get the scroll! (Mizuki is standing, looking down) It contains forbidden Jutsu, that could put this village in grave danger. Mizuki used you to get the scroll for himself. For his own power." Iruka exclaimed only for Naruto to stand up now. " 's just trying to scare you cause he doesn't want you to have the scroll." Mizuki said, a sneer on his face. "Huh?" Said Naruto, confused on the whole ordeal. He looked to Iruka as he panted. "Don't let him trick you, Naruto." Iruka said, struggling to get up. Mizuki laughs, looking down at the two. "Oh, I'll tell you who's really lying!" He said while Iruka's eyes widened. "No, Mizuki! Don't!" He said, only serving to make Naruto more curious.

"They've been lying to you your whole life, Naruto. Since the decree 12 years ago." Mizuki said, Naruto looking back up to Mizuki. "What decree?" He asked. "Everyone knows except you. Iruka's trying to hide it from you now. He'd do anything to shut me up" Mizuki said, casually pacing a bit on his branch as Naruto looked up at him wide-eyed. "What is this decree? Why does everyone know about it but me?" He questioned, determined to get answers, cutscene or not. Iruka screams to Mizuki, begging him to stop. "Don't tell him! It's forbidden!" This only served to make Mizuki want to tell him more, to see Mizuki in pain.

"The fox spirit that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed our village has taken over your body! You are the Nine Tailed Fox!" Mizuki exclaimed while Naruto held a horrified and shocked expression up to Mizuki. He could've never saw this coming. Why was the fox sealed in him? Why didn't anyone tell him? His thoughts were broken when Iruka screamed out, "STOP IT!", making Mizuki revel in the pain he was causing.

"They've all been sneaking around hiding things from you your whole life. Did you think it was strange how they treated you? Like dirt! Like they just hated you for being alive!" Mizuki said, a crazed look on his face as Naruto began to scream, a bit of tears leaking down his face. "No. No! No No No!" He screamed out, Chakra beginning to swirl around him. Mizuki dawned a cruel grin, twirling a fuma shuriken in his hand. "That's right! You will never be accepted in this village! Even your beloved sensei hates your guts! Die Naruto!" Mizuki shouted out before throwing the shuriken at him, Iruka shouting out, "Naruto! Get down!"

Naruto ducked, covering his head. He suddenly heard the weapon pierce something and turned to see Iruka had covered his body like a shield, the large shuriken in Iruka's back. Iruka grunted in pain and a couple drops of blood fell onto the stunned Naruto's cheek. Even Mizuki was ducked, covering his head. He suddenly heard the weapon pierce something and turned to see Iruka had covered his body like a shield, the large shuriken in Iruka's back. Iruka grunted in pain and a couple drops of blood fell onto the stunned Naruto's cheek. Even Mizuki was surprised. "W-why?" Naruto asked.

"Because we're the same. When I lost my parents, no one seemed to care. They didn't have time for me. They just forgot I was there. My grades dropped. I became the class clown. I just wanted them to see me. And to know my name. My school work wasn't good enough to get their attention, so I did crazy things. Then I had to pay for it. It was hard." Iruka said remorsefully, looking down onto Naruto. "I know that's how you feel, Naruto. You feel lonely and it hurts inside and I could've been there for you more. I let you down. I'm sorry. No one should have to suffer that much. No one should be alone like that."

Naruto was touched by his sensei's words, the moment being ruined as Mizuki gave out a dark chuckle. "Don't make me laugh! Iruka always hated you! He was orphaned because the Nine Tailed Fox killed his parents. And that beast is now inside you! He'd say anything to get the scroll from you!" Mizuki shouted out, causing Naruto to grit his teeth, getting up and running away from the 2 Shinobi, as much as Naruto wanted to fight Mizuki-teme. He could hear Iruka calling after him, Mizuki jumping down. "You know, once he makes up his mind, nothing can change it. He's going to use the scroll and take revenge on the village." Mizuki said, Naruto running through the forest. "You saw that look in his eye, didn't you? Those are the eyes of a beast." He taunted, Iruka removing the shuriken before getting up, grunting from the pain. "No… Naruto… isn't like that!" Iruka said, throwing the bloodied shuriken at Mizuki, only for him to dodge it with ease. "You're a joke. As soon as I eliminate Naruto and get the scroll, I'll be back for you." Mizuki says before jumping away to pursuit Naruto, making Iruka snarl. "I won't let you!"

Iruka leapt through the trees in search of Naruto. He soon finds him and catches up to the sprinting boy. "Naruto! Everything Mizuki said was a lie! Give me the scroll! Hurry! He's coming after you to take it away!" Iruka said, causing Naruto to jump up and ram himself into Iruka's gut, making the man gasp for air. Iruka was sent flying to the ground, skidding away as Naruto landed and skid on his feet. Naruto glared while panting at Iruka. "It can't be…" Naruto took the scroll off his back and held it as he sat down against the tree. "How did you know, Naruto?" Iruka glared at him over his shoulder. "H-how did you know…" A puff of smoke covers him and reveals to be Mizuki who had used the Transformation Jutsu. "...that it was me and not Iruka?"

Naruto chuckled before a puff of smoke engulfed him, revealing Iruka who had also used the Transformation Jutsu. The scroll having been nothing but a log, causing Mizuki's eyes to widen. "Because I'm Iruka." 'Naruto' said, making Mizuki stand up with a smirk. What they didn't know was that Naruto was hiding behind a tree close by, holding the scroll. "You're a fool. Why're you protecting that freak? He's the one that wiped out your family!" Mizuki snarled out, making Iruka grit his teeth. "I don't care what you say. You're not getting your hands on that scroll." He said defiantly, making Mizuki scoff. "As if you could stop me. Don't you get it? Naruto's just like me." He said, making Iruka chuckle in wonderment. "And how's that? I don't see how he's related to a psychopathic son of a bitch." Iruka snarled out, spitting out a gob of blood.

"He wants the scroll for his own power and his own vengeance. That's how beasts are. He'll pour all his rage into the scroll and destroy everything!" Mizuki said, causing Iruka to laugh a bit, nodding. "You're right." He confirmed, making Naruto sag a bit with sadness. "I knew that's what he really thought of me…" Naruto thought sadly, "That's how beasts are.", making his eyes widen. "But that's not who Naruto is. He's nothing like that. Naruto's one of a kind. Works hard, puts his whole heart into it. Sure he messes up sometimes and everyone jumps on him. But his suffering only makes him stronger. That's what separates him from being a beast. So you're wrong, he's nothing like the Nine Tailed Fox. He's Naruto Uzumaki of the Village Hidden in the Leaves." Iruka said proudly, remembering fond memories of his pseudo little brother. This only made Mizuki scoff.

"Hmph. You really believe that dribble? Iruka, I was going to save you for later, but I changed my mind." He said, spinning up another shuriken. "You're finished!" He said, about to throw the shuriken before Naruto jumped out, cutting the shuriken, and consequently, Mizuki's hand off with it. He flicked Wailing Dark free of blood, looking down at the now cowering Mizuki with cold, unflinching eyes. "If you ever lay a hand on my sensei, I'll kill you!" He said in a threatening tone. Mizuki only scoffed, quickly patching his wound up as he gets up shakily. "Such big words for a brat! You got one lucky hit, you won't get it again!" He said, beginning to attack Naruto. Unfortunately for Mizuki, Naruto summoned around 30 Shadow Clones, all wielding Wailing Dark, blocking the first punch with his sword. "You're dead, Mizuki-teme!" He shouted out before all 30 of the clones jumped onto Mizuki, quickly making mince meat of the chunin.

Mizuki defeated!

5,000 ryo, 1,000 EXP

[50] High-Quality Shuriken, [5] Fuma Shuriken added to inventory.

He huffed, shaking his head at the gore. "Stupid Mizuki-teme." Leaving Iruka to look on in shock, bewilderment and confusion. Did he just see Naruto, the dead last, completely and utterly destroy Mizuki without breaking a sweat? Remind him not to get on his bad side. He looked over to Naruto, wondering how he was taking his first kill before getting up. "Naruto…" He said, snapping the boy out of his stupor. "Iruka-Sensei! Are you alright?" Naruto asked worriedly, Iruka waving him off as he softly smiles. "Close your eyes, Naruto." He said, Naruto following his commands but wore a face of confusion. He could hear something being untied and then tied around his head, opening them when he was told he could. "Open them." Iruka said, a proud smile and a piece of clothing missing from his head. "Congratulations on graduating, Naruto. I'll treat you to ramen." He said before he was assaulted by a bawling Naruto. "You're the best, Iruka-Sensei!" Naruto said with happiness, ignoring the blue boxes of Quest Complete, nothing that couldn't wait until he was done. "Naruto. You're strong yet you have a long ways to go. You have a heart of gold but to be a shinobi, you'll have to suppress it. Don't ever change." Iruka thought fondly as the two began to walk to the nearby Ramen Joint, talking about various subjects. Nothing like a little murder, stealth, and secrets being revealed to start off your ninja career.

A/N: AAaaaaaand scene. I hope y'all enjoyed the chapter and don't forget to go vote on what Naruto should specialize in! Should our golden hero be a mighty warrior? A godly sage? Or the unseen shadow? I'll see y'all next time, Wandering Guru, out.

PS: Pairings are still undecided so do review and tell me who you'd think would be best for Naruto!
