Chapter Two
It's been two months since we become Genin and I'm growing restless. All we've done outside of training is D rank missions, which are basically just chores around the village. The only positives are I've gained five levels and have become closer to my team. Other than the points I get through leveling up, I've also gotten several individual points. I gain individual points by repeated use of an attribute; for example if I run laps for a while I will earn a point in Dexterity and Vitality. Dexterity governs things like speed and reaction time, it also covers standard dexterity and other finesse based skills. Vitality covers health and stamina; it also combines with Strength to determine durability. Strength is how physically strong I am. It determines how much I can lift and how much force I can put behind my strikes. Intelligence is how smart I am, it helps with anything thinking based. It also makes learning new skills and gaining Experience easier. Wisdom is a measure of how wise I am. It's similar to Intelligence, but on a more spiritual plane. It determines how rational I am and helps make unbiased observation. Luck is a very vague skill; I know it determine how lucky I am, but to what extent the points matter I don't know. All I know is that luck is a dangerous thing, you put too much faith in it and you'll surely die.
I've also leveled up my Observe ability a lot it's level 24 now. I now gain a ton of information on my targets and can see info on people up to level 65. I can also use it on individual information pieces, like a skill or Jutsu, to gain information on it. I can use it to see how far I am from leveling myself or a skill up. If my estimation is right I need about five more uses of Observe to level it up. So that's what I'll do as I head home. After the fourth use I see Naruto not far from me, so I decide he gets the honor of leveling up Observe.

Naruto Uzumaki is a Genin of Konoha and a member of team Kakashi. His life up to this point has been made bearable only by his friendship with Keita Typhon. He is hated by his own village due to his status as the Jinchūriki of the Nine Tails. His father, Minato Namikaze, was the Fourth Hokage when the Nine Tails attacked the village. Along with Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki, he sealed the Nine Tails into a baby Naruto.I was shocked; I needed to be careful with how I approach this. This kind of thing was easily an S rank secret, so I can't just go around talking about it. Naruto also probably has no idea; he would have either told me or shown signs of knowing when the villages insulted him. My Gamers Mind kicks in and calms me down, my thought process slows and I start thinking more clearly. Since Naruto is the Jinchūriki of the Nine Tails that means the Nine Tails is sealed inside him, but that doesn't make him the Nine Tails. No he is just a container, like a bowl to soup, so there's no reason to hate him. The villagers mistakenly put the fear and hate into a little boy who is in fact protecting them. I'm interrupted by a status window.

Leveling Observe to 25 has granted a new ability. Shinri no me (Eye of Truths) has been learned.

An intense pain shoots through my eyes, sending me to the ground. After a few moments the pain subsides and I reopen my eyes. I am greeted with a whole new world; every color is brighter, every sound clearer. The exploration of my new sense is cut short when I notice a kunai soaring towards Naruto, I start to call out but it's too late. The blade rips into his shoulder causing him to cry out in pain. I crouch down when I see two people approach him. As they get close I decide to activate my Shinri no me for the first time. Looking at the assailants Chakra I confirm that they are shinobi, as so civilian has that much Chakra. By the amount of Chakra, they are Chunin, so they should be stronger than Naruto and me; though with surprise and the right tactics I can win.

Accept
Y/N
I accept. Since they haven't noticed me yet I Body Flicker to a tree branch behind them and pull out a smoke bomb and a poison bomb. Taking one in each hand I silently leap at them, right before I reach them I throw the smoke bomb in between them. As it explodes I land behind the one the right and kick the back of his knee. As he drops to the ground I clasp the hand with the poison bomb on his mouth, I bring up my other hand and strike him on the bottom of his jaw. This causes him to bite down and set off the bomb; as it goes off I use the hand on his mouth to also pinch hid nose closed. Leaving nowhere for the poison to go but to his lungs, after five seconds he stops struggling. About this time the smoke clears and the other Chunin sees me and his partner.
"You bastard, I'll kill you." He says charging at me. I flip over him and use Observe to see what kind of a threat he poses.

I don't bother reading his Bio, as he'll be dead soon. He was the on who threw the kunai, so he gets no mercy. He may be a higher level than me but his attributes are all lower. His only advantage is experience and he probably knows more jutsus than me.
As he charges for the second time I take my stance and dodge his punch. I respond with a straight right to the sternum, knocking the breath out of him. I then throw a vicious left uppercut that takes him a few inches into the air; I follow through with a spinning thrust kick to his stomach. This launches him several feet away. I pull out two shuriken and throw them when he stands up. As I predicted he dodges right and I Body Flicker to meet him with a kick to the head. As he skids across the ground I hear Naruto yell words of encouragement to me. Smiling I dodge the flame bullets he sent my way and rush at him. I pull out my wakizashi and fling it at him; he takes the bait and dodges instead of deflecting. While he is distracted I drop down into a slide, when I reach him I slam my foot into his knee, sending him crashing to the ground. Standing up I walk over to my wakizashi and pick it up. Making my way back to Shima I grab him by the hair and pull him to his knees. As I place my blade across his throat he begins to beg for mercy, I just laugh as I slice open his throat.

"That was kinda brutal wasn't it?" Naruto asks as he walks over to me.
"No. they were going to kill you, so I beat him to it." I respond. We stand there for a moment before several shinobi appear around us. I immediately get into a defensive stance. Looking around for the best way to get Naruto to safety but am interrupted.
"That's enough for to night Keita, you've done well." A kind voice calls out. I turn around and see the Hokage. Seeing him I drop my guard and sheathe my weapon. Turning off my Shinri no me I follow the group to the Hokage tower.
After hearing Naruto's story the Hokage sends him to the hospital, I turn to leave but he stops me. Dismissing everyone else he tells me to take a seat. He stares at me for what feel like an eternity before talking.
"So Keita tell me, how is it that a Genin was strong enough to take down two Chunin and even managed to kill one of them?" I sighed, there was no need to try to lie, he'd see right through it. He is also probably the most trustworthy person in the village next to Naruto.
"Are you familiar with video games?" He nods. "Well about a year ago I gained an ability called The Gamer. It basically turned me into a video game character and my life into a video game. I get experience points and level up, I can learn skills just by 'absorbing' a book or scroll about them. When I level up I gain points to put into different attributes; I can also gain a point in my attributes by working hard in that area. I have an inventory I can store things in, thought I primarily use it for money and bulky items."
He studies me for a while, not talking or moving. Standing he heads over to a bookshelf and grabs a scroll and hands it to me. I look at it; it is a scroll about Red Lightning.
"This is a scroll on an ancient Lightning Technique. If you're telling the truth you will be able to 'absorb' it." He says motioning for me to proceed. I look at the scroll and a two text boxes pop up.
New Quest- Prove yourself
Objective- Prove your ability is real
Success- 1200 Xp
Failure – Imprisonment
Do you wish to learn this skill- Red Lightning Techniques Advanced
Y/N
I choose yes. The scroll bursts into blue flame and I feel the information flow into my brain. I now know how to manipulate Red Lightning, the strongest form of Lightning Release. To prove it worked I channel Red Lightning Chakra through my hand. The Hokage nods.
"It seems you are telling the truth. I will warn you, keep your abilities to yourself and those you trust you life with. There are those out there who would use you for their personal gain." With that he dismisses me.
Once home I spend my available points and use observe on myself.
