Putting an idea called "The Gamer" from the naver bestChallenge webtoon "The Gamer" (더 게이머) into Naruto. This means only a slight cross-over, since only one of the abilities and some of the surrounding explanation is being put in here.

... It should make the story very fun.

Perhaps a bit OP, but definitely not overly. Physically weaker Naruto in the beginning.

Chapter 2:

Quest 18: It's Not Easy To Watch

Naruto jumped out of the window and let out a sigh of relief. So far, he hadn't been caught, which meant that he was doing good so far.

Having landed on a tree, he looked down and around.

There was no one.

He frowned. 'It's too easy. I better check.'

"[Observation] activate..." he muttered to himself silently, almost not hearing it himself.

Suddenly, the world around him blared white for a second before he caught something in the corner of his eyes.

It was a small message box pointing to an outline of a figure watching him intently.

[ANBU]

Naruto raised an eyebrow. 'Why would an ANBU be watching me if this is a mere test...?' Then he nearly smacked himself. 'FUCK! This is a test and I :Learned: a freaking Scroll of Seal; a god damn forbidden scroll!' He bashed his head against the tree trunk.


And much to the surprised of the ANBU watching Naruto for any sign of desertion, the tree caved in ... and the blonde was complaining about a minor scratch that appeared where his forehead and the tree trunk contacted. He pulled up his sleeve, where there were one of the ANBU's communication seals, and send little bit of chakra to it. The seal activated, connecting the ANBU directly with the Hokage.

'Sandaime-dono, are you watching this?' the ANBU asked, knowing about the crystal ball the Hokage whips out on occasion to observe his village's populace and its defenses.

'Yes, I am,' the reply came through from the Sandaime. 'I must say, I didn't expect his strength to be that great ... or his skull so thick.'

The ANBU almost chuckled lightly. 'Should I approach him, or should we let him face Mizuki on his own?' Then he stopped sending the message as he realized that there were two people that were coming towards Naruto; the ANBU here was a sensor. 'Two people, chunin by speed, are approaching Naruto.'

'It's Iruka and Mizuki. Be on hold. Interfere only when Naruto or Iruka, if he isn't a traitor, is in danger of death.'

'Hai.'

With that, he severed the connection. The ANBU knew tht Iruka was a sensor, weak sensor, but a sensor nonetheless. It was the ANBU's job to observe from a distance, so stopping the flow of his chakra was a good idea.


Naruto snapped out his complaint when two more pings interrupted his chain of utterances.

[Mizuki]

[Iruka]

That's odd, Naruto thought. 'Only Mizuki sensei is supposed to come.'

Then his mind snapped as gears began to lock in.

Mizuki.

Scroll of Seals.

Forbidden.

He smashed his head into the tree trunk again, caving it deeper. Unfortunately, this only caused the two teachers to find him faster.

They landed on trees opposite of each other with Naruto in the center, and shouted.

"Naruto!"

Naruto turned to them, and instead of a grin that the both chunins expected, all they saw was a very irritated Naruto... And a caved in tree trunk.

"Naruto, hand me the scroll and show me what you learned. Then your exam will be done," Mizuki said calmly as he held out his hand.

"Don't give it to him, Naruto! He's using you to-!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Naruto said as waved both of them off. "Unfortunately, there is no more scroll to steal or retrive," he added.

"What are you talking about, Naruto? Don't you want to graduate?"

Naruto scoffed. "I realized this was no test when I saw that ANBU over there."

The ANBU nearly had a heart attack. Had he failed so much that a kid could spot him? 'I should resign...' he thought despairingly as his head dropped.

Mizuki only raised an eyebrow at Naruto's remark. "ANBU? They don't care about you, Naruto," Mizuki replied. "Now, the scroll-"

The blonde sighed. ':Gamer's Calm: activate. :Library: activate.'

Several screens only visible to him appeared and began to process large quantities of data.

"You know, Mizuki-sensei, you're right. ANBU don't care about me. Not even you or Iruka-sensei care about me," he said as he stood up. "Only few ever did," he added quietly as a strong determination grew within him. "So I'll give you one chance to surrender yourself, sensei."

"Naruto-"

Naruto raised his hand, cutting Iruka off.

"Please, sensei, surrender."

Mizuki laughed. "You? Stop me? Have you gone crazy, Naruto? You're not even a genin and I'm a chunin!" he shouted as his demeanor changed from that of a teacher to that of an angry dog. "Might as well tell you something good then, Naruto. It's about yourself."

Naruto raised an eyebrow. 'What could he tell me?' he thought as the :Library: stopped upon a single Jutus out of the others. Naruto took a glimpse at it before a corner of his mouth moved up imperceptibly.

"Well, the Kyuubi wasn't killed the Yondaime!"

Naruto frowned. "Then?" This guy was now talking about the Kyuubi and the Yondaime. Where the hell was he going with it?

"You see, biju's like the Kyuubi can't be killed. All ninjas know this to be true."

"Then?" Naruto asked.

Mizuki's lips stretched skyward and his eyes narrowed in some sadistic pleasure.


"No!" Sandaime shouted as he shot out of his chair, having had watched the three from his office and the crystal ball after Naruto left.


"He sealed the Kyuubi into you!" Mizuki declared.

"Ping."

Naruto frowned and looked at the message, which happened to be towards Iruka.

Status as Jinchuriki: Confirmed

Naruto grumbled. Ever since he was young, he had expected that he was related to the Yondaime and the Kyuubi in some way, as his birthdate was directly on the Day of Savings that Konoha held every year since the battle.

So he was. Then...

"Ping."

Question: Were my parents ninjas?

Naruto shrugged it off, and the messages disappeared. "Bah, so what?"

Iruka stumbled and Mizuki stared at Naruto irritably.

"What?"

Naruto looked back at Mizuki. "I kind of expected it," he said as he began to clumsily go through handsigns unfamiliar to both of the chunins. "So you're not giving up?"

"Ha, make me!"

Naruto scowled. While his ability, power if you will, gave him tremendous advantage, he wasn't the one willing to attack someone 6 LVLs above him (Naruto is LVL 9, Mizuki is LVL 15). But perhaps the skills he recently learned in the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing.

"[Warlord's Aura] activate!" he commanded, and instantly, the technique's effects showed up.

Before the command was given, Naruto had been standing with only his eyesore of a jumpsuit. But now, he was surrounded by a thick visible aura of energy. They took on a yellow hue that gave off a dim light. They set themselves around Naruto like a small bonfire.

"[Warlord's Aura] activate second stage!" he shouted, unaware of what he was actually doing; he was letting the ability do the work.

Suddenly, the flaring aura calmed down and began to change color. What was once yellow became purple, and began to form transparent hexagonal panels. The panels, all of the size palm size, began to lock with themselves, then attached themselves unto Naruto.

"Ping. Ping."

Naruto gave the two messages a brief look.

New skill learned.

[Skill Crafting] LVL 1

Desc:
Allows the user of this skill to make more skills based upon existing techniques/skills, theoratical models, or ideas. However, this skill does not guarantee the crafted skill's efficiency nor desired result.

Active: New Skill.

ENERGY Consumption: 1000 ENERGY

Then Naruto eyed the next message, having read the first box within few seconds.

[Aegis Shield] LVL 1

Desc:
Cannot be activated without [Warlord's Aura]. While activated, [Aegis Shield] provides solid transparent shields that can fit to both clothes and skin like a new thicknessless layer.
Aegis Shield can be manipulated to be wielded like projectiles or a new layer for a weapon.

Active: Base + 500%*Base Defense
Active: Base - 20%*Base Speed

ENERGY Consumption: 250 ENERGY / sec

Naruto grinned. Two new skills, both of them very good for the current situation. Naruto pressed the red X marks on the upper right corner of both message boxes and stared back at Mizuki.

A power that can turn defense into offense.

Naruto pulled out a kunai.

"What are you going to do with that little kunai, brat?!" Mizuki laughed.

"This," Naruto said as [Aegis Shield]'s purple panels began to form on the kunai and start to extend. They locked with themselves and began to grow longer.

Within a minute, which during both chunins watched in fascination forgetting about why they were there, the kunai became a large weightless broadsword, one that rivaled the swords of the Mist's Seven Swordsmen.

'Unfortunately,' Naruto thought. 'Aegis shield takes a lot out of me. Within 6 minutes or so, I'll be left without any ENERGY, which means I won't be able to do any techniques, jutus, or the like, leaving me rather defenseless against an experienced chunin like Mizuki-teme. I need to finish this fast.'

He jumped straight at Mizuki and struck.

Surprisingly, Mizuki opted to block the broadsword strike with his fuma shuriken, and was sent flying into one of the trees to Naruto's right.

"Kah!" Mizuki coughed as he painfully struck the thin barked tree. He coughed up a bit of blood, but nothing to suggest that he suffered something fatal. "You brat!"

Naruto grumbled. "What the hell is with you, anyway? You had people that trusted you, that fed you, and sheltered you. Why would you betray all that?"

"Because in the shinobi world, there is only power, and that is all that matters!" Mizuki shouted back as he went down unto the ground and launched his fuma shuriken.

"Naruto!" Iruka shouted as he charged in to block the large four stared death.

The boy cussed and threw the Aegis Shield broadsword-kunai at fuma shuriken, and successfully managed strike it off course.

Iruka skidded to a halt before Naruto. "You aren't ready to take on Mizuki, Naruto! Go get help!"

Naruto pouted. "Hurry up and get over here, ANBU!"

And just as Naruto said there was, an ANBU appeared. "You realize that you make me look bad, right?" ANBU asked Naruto as Mizuki stumbled, still recovering from the first strike that Naruto managed.

Naruto grinned, prideful of his achievement at making an ANBU look bad. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, ANBU-nii-san. It's my job to make people feel fear in my name... for the pranks!"

Everyone except Mizuki sweatdropped.

"Alright, I got this," the ANBU said as he pulled out six kunais, three in hand. "Mizuki. I suggest you yield."

"Grr..." the man growled like a cornered back, but put his other fuma shuriken down. "Fine."

Naruto grinned. He manged to do something great. He stopped a -

"Fuck."

Iruka frowned at Naruto's choice of words and the ANBU looked curious.

"What is?"

"...I ended up destroying the Forbidden Scroll of Seals!"

"Already told us that. Nothing new."

"B-But-!" Naruto waved his arms.

Iruka chuckled and placed a hand over Naruto's head. "It's okay, Naruto. At least we prevented it from reaching someone like Mizuki."

Naruto stared a bit apprehensively at the man before he grinned. "Okay! I'm going to go yell hokage-jiji about this!"

Naruto turned around and only stepped one foot out when he had someone place a hand over his shoulder. "But I have to ask, Naruto," Iruka said. Naruto turned around. "What exactly happened to ... the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing?"

Naruto paled like a piece of white paper sheet.

Well, he was screwed.

Royally.


Sarutobi Hiruzen placed a hand over his forehead, slowly and gently, after Naruto finished his "report."

"And you didn't tell me about this 'power' of yours for what reason for so long a time?" the Sandaime asked the blonde boy. "I could've helped you."

Naruto pouted. "But it tells me every detail about any skill I learn."

"How detailed?" Hiruzen asked. "And even on techniques you haven't used yet?"

"Everything. Let me get something here," the boy replied as he opened up his -Skill Bar-, which only he could see. Then he looked over the skills he possessed, and after recategorizing them into what he had and hadn't used, he found the [Shadow Clone Technique].

[Shadow Clone Technique] LVL 1
Desc:
Creates solid clones. The clones can take only one mild strike before dispersing.

Passive: Upon dispersing, memories of clone returns to owner. Fatigue does not transfer over, only memory. This, however, includes pain.

Active: Creates a Shadow Clone.

ENERGY Consumption: 100 ENERGY per Shadow Clone

"Am I right about the [Shadow Clone Technique]?"

The Sandaime nodded. 'This power, as ridiculous as it may sound, has proved to exist. At least in his head. I wonder how far he could take this power.' "Naruto, what else can you do with it?"

Naruto thought for a while before answering. "I can LVL the techniques and other utilities so that my body is gets stronger. For example, I LVLed my [Runner] up to 16, which is higher than what most chunins have, according to my [Observation]. Because of it, my passive running speed is on par with ANBU's, only a bit faster than them. Of course, though, my stamina works against me in that regard. I may be a stamina beast according to some of the jounins that chased me around after my pranks, but I am still a kid."

The hokage grinned. How wonderful. Naruto had grown up to be a strong young man. "alright then, Naruto," he said as he took a glance out of the window, where the moon had rose high up in the sky. "It's already midnight. Go and return home. Oh, and by the way, take this with you."

He reached into one of the drawers of his desk and pulled out a worn out hitai-ate, one that he wore a long time ago.

"Here, Naruto. If you accept htis, you'll officially become a genin of Konoha."

"So what say you?"
