Hey guys! Thanks for all the Reviews, Favs and Follows, so here's another chapter for Replay. Anyway I just got KH:BBS(Haven't gotten past Disney Town with Ventus though T-T), and I've actually been planning to make fanfic of the KH series, I'm just not sure whether to put my OC into the events of BBS or 358/2 Days, which I own on the PSP and DS respectively. please tell me what you think about it. And thanks to Inimicus for some ideas that most likely will be implemented into the story.

'It's official, I hate running.' Arata groans, finishing the lap. For shit, giggles and for fair play, he decided to do the exercise without enhancing himself with Chakra. All in all, he ranked 15, earning him 150 EXP
[Quest Completed]
|+190 EXP|
'YOU'RE NOT HELPING!' he glares at the info box hanging in air. catching his breath, he moves to the sidelines. And soon enough, he is joined by Shikamaru and Chouji, whom ranked 20 and 17 respectively, probably because they didn't feel like putting much effort into it.
"Hey not bad guys, but man that thing is hard when you're not using Chakra for boost." Arata says, sitting with his legs crossed.
"Well, why didn't you?" Shikamaru inquiries, as he watches the clouds.
Arata, scratching the back of his head sheepishly answers: "Well, I thought I should give the civilian born a chance."
"Oh yeah? well what about that Taijutsu spar?" A voice asks, turning his attention to the voice, he sees Naruto, his face set in a angry look.
"You're the guy who said that he's going to become Hokage right?" Arata asks rhetorically, before continuing.
"The reason of why I did that is to teach him that being a Shinobi isn't some fairy tale, where you're the gallant hero saving princesses and defeating demons."
"And the Hokages are some of the most powerful ones, with the most kills under their belt. The first and second Hokage's lived during a era where relations were shaky, the third was trained by the second and participated in a war. speaking of which, During the third Shinobi World War, the fourth Hokage wiped out numerous Iwakagure Shinobi with his famous Hiraishin." He finishes, a smirk creeping up on his face as he waits for Naruto's reaction.
And he doesn't have to wait for long as a cocky smile appears on Naruto's face. "I don't care how tough it's going to be, I'm going to become Hokage, Dattebayo!" He proclaims, drawing attention to himself. a silence ensues, but is soon broken by a Iruka, before anyone can start laughing.
"Okay, now that you've all completed the course, we move to the next part, Aiming. C'mon everyone follow me!" Iruka says, leading them to what looks like a shooting gallery, with a table of ten kunai and shuriken(Five each), a crate gull of each next to the table, and ten poles with a bullseye carved on each one set in a row, a couple of feet or so away from the table.
"Here's how we'll rank you. a hit into the outer ring gets you 10 points, the inner ring is 20 points and the bullseye is worth 50." Iruka explains.

"We'll start in alphabetical order." Iruka says, motioning for Shino to come forward. he hits 8/10, accurately hitting three on the bullseye, four on the inner ring and one on the outer.
After a couple of civies scoring at the average of 5/10, Chouji is called up. he throws and, and six of them hit, landing four on the inner and two on the outer ring. A bit later, Sakura scored a 6/10, five on the inner and one on the outer ring, so she might be a bit better than than your average Civilian-born.
Then comes Hinata's turn, and she gets a 9/10, two on the bullseye, five on inner and two on the outer ring, possibly because of the accuracy needed to use the Gentle Style/Juken which her clan is known for. Her face lights up like the fourth of July from the praise she gets and quickly moves to the sidelines as Kiba steps up, confident, that he'll score higher.
"10 Ryo says that he won't score higher than Hinata did." Arata whispers to Shikamaru, as Kiba boasts. "No bet." Shikamaru declines, not taking a fools bet.
And he was right not to take the bet, as Kiba scored a 6/10, all in the inner ring. And then comes Shikamaru's turn, but due to his lazy attitude, he only scores 5/10, all in the inner ring.
Seeing that it's his turn Arata steps walks forward.
Deciding to try his luck with the shuriken first, he picks one up. [Academy Shuriken. Weapon Damage: 10. Dur: 100/100] Ignoring the window,he throws that sucker as hard as he can. A resounding thud can be heard as the shuriken hits the inner ring. Confident, he continues throwing the same way. All in all, he hit 7/10, with 3 in the bullseye area, two in the inner ring and three in the outer.

'Sweet. Kinda waiting for the EXP to pop up.' Arata thinks, walking back to the sidelines as Sasuke takes his shot, hitting 9/10, three on the bullseye and the remaining six on the inner ring.
After some more civies scoring at the average of 5/10 Naruto's turn comes around. confidently throwing throwing the projectiles, he scored 6/10, three on the bullseye, three on the inner ring. And after the last batch of civies, Ino scores a 6/10, five in the inner ring and one on the outer.

'There we go.' Arata mentally notes, as Iruka writes down, what is most likely the results and rankings. "And now that, the testing is done, how about we take a break." he states, although it sounded like a question. All the students head back into the academy, probably to have lunch.
After the little lunch break, the results of the testing were pinned onto a bulletin board. Everyone was swarming around the board to see how they ranked. It was obvious that the clan children(and Arata) had high ranks. the only thing that surprised Arata through the whole testing process was that Naruto wasn't the deadlast, but that could easily change. . .
System Update Available.
Update?
Yes/No
'What!? this thing has updates?' Arata asks himself as he accepts the update. 'I mean, the latest Gamer CH I read before I died had DLC if I remember right.' Soon after that, he opens his stat screen to see what's different.

'So I'm a ninjutsu tank. that's good to know I suppose.' Arata thinks. as everyone goes back to their seats, as Iruka addresses the class. "I'm sorry children but due to some complications, the school day is over" as soon as Iruka uttered those words, most kids cheered. "Your parents have already been notified of this so grab your packs and head home." Iruka says, leaving the room.
Soon enough, most of the students have left. Arata, Shikamaru, Chouji and Naruto being among the last to leave.
"See you Tomorrow Arata." Shikamaru waves leaving with Chouji.
Now that they're gone, Arata turns his attention to Naruto. Noticing that Arata is looking at him, Naruto grunts "What are you looking at me for?"
"Hey listen... About those things that I said..." Arata begins, not sure how of what to say. "I just have this gut feeling that you're going to be something great" A mental image of Naruto as the 7th Hokage flashes through his mind.
"And I just don't want you to be unprepared when you'll face someone who's just unbeatable." at this the image of Madara in his six path mode and Kaguya flash through his mind.
"Heh, I guess you're not such a bad guy after all." Naruto chuckles with a friendly smile on his face. "Well, I guess I should head home before my parents start worrying. See you around, Future Hokage." Arata says walking towards his home, a smirk on his face. 'Three down, many more to go.' he X's three spots on his mental checklist.
[Tachibana residence.]
"Mom, Dad I'm home!" Arata calls out, taking off his footwear, nothing fancy, just sandals. One of the things that bothered Arata back in his old life about the Naruto world was: why do the shinobi wear footwear, that leave their toes unprotected. At one point he thought it was because there wasn't other type of footwear, until he saw the Samurai's from the Land of Iron, who wear BOOTS. Now he thinks its for ventilation.
"Hello son, did you have fun at school?" his dad asks, not looking away from the newspaper article about a rumor saying that a shady store chain establishing itself in the Land of Fire.
"Lots of. I also made some new friends." he answers, sitting across his father, taking a sandwich his mom prepared from the fridge. "Well, what are their names?" his father asks, eyeing the article. "Chouji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara" Arata explains, between bites of his sandwich.
"Oh, Chouza's and Shikaku's boys, that's nice." His father notes
"And Naruto Uzumaki." at hearing that, Arata's father turns his attention from his newspaper to his son, who is heading to the backyard to experiment with some ninjutsu no doubt.
"I... I don't think you should be friends with him." he says, hoping that his son won't associate himself with the Jinchuuriki. It's not that he thinks that the child IS the Kyubi, any Shinobi worth his hitai-ate(Forehead protector) should know the difference between a sealing scroll and the content, but who's to say that the beast won't break free or that the seal won't break?
Expecting this, Arata turns to look his father in the face with a calm, knowing look. "Is it because you fear the power he holds." he asks, shocking his father, who thinks he's talking about the Kyubi.
"I mean his Chakra is way Huge! Bigger than yours Dad." Arata clarifies, making it seem like he doesn't know about Naruto's furry tenant.
His father lets out a calm sigh. "Yes son, that's it." he assures, before noticing exactly what his son said. "Hold on son, do you mean that you can sense Chakra" he questions. Arata nods yes, lying in order to keep his 'Gamer' skill hidden, whether it be a body-hopping pedo, or a old mummy. Satisfied with Arata's answers, he leaves his son to his machinations, while he plans on how to tell his wife about Arata's 'Sensor' powers.
Done! That's all for now folks! Please Review, Favorite and Follow.
New Stats: Ninjutsu/NIN. this stat tells how much your Ninjutsu, whether it be Elemental or not does in damage. the Nin stat is INT + WIS + MP divided by 3. For example: a C-Rank technique with a base power of 60. When the NIN stat, let's say Arata's 113 is applied it goes from 60 to 173.
Also, I thought I should clarify something. This is a AU, so I might try to explain some things that the show didn't, I also might take some Non-Canon elements from Movies and Video Games.
Also, If some of you are wondering how the Academy works in this story, it's simple. Children enter the academy around the age of 8, spend 6 years studying and training, and then they are assigned to a Jounin, whom will test them on working as a team. Now some of you might point to Itachi, and the current generations Jounins, whom graduated/entered the academy before the kids enrolled.
Well, look how Itachi, whom was a prodigy turned out in the eyes of the villagers, a bloody psychopath who killed his own family, sparing only one. Also that was during a time of war, where they needed to crap out semi-competent shinobi, who would learn in the heat of battle or die trying( Most didn't get picked up by a old man with hax eyes.), but when the 3rd war ended, all the villages had time to build their shinobi right.
Anyway, I am planning a summoning contract for Arata. And as for what animal it will be, I'll give you a clue. "(The animal in question) Don't care! (The animal in question) Don't give a shit!"
