AN : I'm back, with another, reviews are once again, the lifeblood of my fledgling story and it motivates me to keep going
The Clone Jutsu was by far Naruto's worst Jutsu and the Academy Jutsus were his least favourite, but hey, he thought may be the game system could help fix that as the booklet landed on his table
Learn Clone Jutsu?
Y/N?
Giddy with excitement, he pressed Y, thanking Kami for his glorious gift, life had never been so good!
Cannot learn Clone Jutsu!
Required WIS : 25% of CP
In that moment, the full meaning of the phrase "Life is a bitch" became brutally clear to Naruto, so there were limits, was his dream of Hokage too difficult? Heck no! "I'll just have to do it the hard way! Dattebayo! "
Naruto realised that he'd need a WIS of 175 to learn the Clone Jutsu and since his already large chakra reserves were likely to expand, learning the Clone jutsu would be a waste of time
"Um.. Iruka-sensei, I can't learn the Clone Jutsu, I have too much chakra" said Naruto, hoping, once again, Iruka would be his saviour
"Naruto, there is no such thing as too much chakra, you need to learn more control" shouted Iruka-sensei
"Eh.. how?" asked a thoroughly confused Naruto, did it have something to do with that stupid leaf exercise?
"Remember the leaf sticking exercise Naruto.." said Iruka with a hint of irritation and Naruto latched on that, quickly explaining that he didn't know what Iruka was on about, which led to this skill and this notification popped up :

"Here are some leaves Naruto" said Iruka, with this, Naruto sat down focusing on the leaf on his forehead, intoned "Leaf Sticking" and began, watching his CP count down, and at the 3-minute mark, conscious that he had 60 CP left, he stopped and let the leaf float down

Naruto was not pleased, even with the passive buff of the skill, and the reduced CP cost, he was nowhere near perfecting the art of Clone Jutsu, he needed a more viable option, did he just say viable?, Give a man 5 WIS points and he starts using big words all of a sudden.
He continued to grind elsewhere on his kunai and shuriken skills, by the end of lunch, his skills now sat at :
Kunai Mastery

Increases parry by 10%

And thanks to getting trashed in 3 spars, gaining 200XP for each loss, Naruto gained a new passive buff and levelled up

It hurt like hell but, Naruto was able to see the glass half-full, but due to the pain, he wasn't sure whether it was one or two glasses.
Time went fast for Naruto, he went to Higurashi's weapon store to buy some new clothes, after all, according to Reputation menu, he was considered Neutral by them and not Hated, like the vast majority of civilian stores, he was tight for cash and needed to spend wisely.
He pulled up the Quest Menu to see which quests remained unfinished and was reminded of the rats, so he trudged back to his apartment and hauled himself to the basement to finish off the god-damn rats and 20 minutes later, he emerged victorious, carrying the tails with smug swagger to his landlord, who nodded curtly by way of thanks
In the process of exterminating the rats, Naruto had gained 3 new skills :
Twin Pierce – Lv 1 – Kunai Skill to finish a downed opponent
Counter Slash – Lv 1 - Kunai Skill to counter attack
Taunt – Lv 1 – Trash talking at its finest

"The game is sentient and has a sense of humour? Alrighty then" thought Naruto, who then decided to take full advantage of the 15 points gifted to him, by spreading them evenly, giving to each stat except VIT 3 points and saving 3 for later.
He now sat at :

"What's with all the ?, huh? What's so mysterious about me?" said an intrigued Naruto

Right now, Naruto had more pressing matters, he went over to his desk in the corner and pulled out two Academy booklets which he knew to be skill books
Would you like to learn Beginner Academy Taijutsu?
Y/N?
Naruto, as he tapped Y, knew he should've learnt this skill book before he pulverised during the spars.
"oh well, better late than never" thought Naruto wistfully as:
