On his way to the forest Naruto got a quest
New Side quest
Get Historica for Ernst
Reward: 2000 Ryo 2000XP
Basic word Fighting, 2 perk points
Failure: Possible death, Loss of reputation with Ernst and the Karma ninja shop
Well, the quest objective was basic; he just had to follow the map to Ernst's old house, so this would be easy
He arrived at the edge of the forest, but he thought how did Ernst lived here anyway? Well he could ask him later, so he entered the forest and started to head to where the map pointed him, it was harder now since he was in the middle of the forest and he could get lost easily but he was sure that he would make it there soon
A little while later Naruto found some wolves, they were level 7 and had yellow portraits, so maybe this was going to be a little harder that what he expected
He came up with an awesome plan to deal with the wolves, first he got on top of the tree with tree walking which he had just learned, then he started to cone some shuriken and throw them at the wolves, the wolves would try to retaliate but since Naruto was on top of the tree they couldn't reach him
The wolves instead ran away, if he wanted XP from them Naruto would have to come up with another plan to actually defeat them and not to just make them run away, well right now he had to look for the sword
He kept going forward trying to find some kind of building in the woods, maybe he had passed it already? Well he just had to see if he could find it, he looked for some more time and he found some more wolves, but he didn't want to fight them since they were 8 wolves and were all level 7 and he could get overwhelm pretty quickly, so he just avoided them
After a while the forest started to get darker, and he started asking himself how long he had been there for.
There were also some really big spider webs, then he saw the spider that left the web, it was huge, when Ernst told him about giant spiders he expected something smaller, this thing was like two stories high, but it didn't seem like it had seen him
He checked the spider's level it was level 12 and had a red portrait, so Naruto knew that if he fought that thing it would be really hard to defeat it, so Naruto decided to move back and search somewhere else
What he didn't notice was a spider web on the floor that he stepped on, this alerted the spider of his position, so the spider started moving towards Naruto, and he didn't notice until the spider was really close
The spider started to attack him with its legs, Naruto jumped and dodged to evade every attack, he then started running away, but the spider was fast for it size, and could keep up with Naruto
So Naruto knew he would have to fight, he grabbed a kunai, and attached an explosive tag he made with his fuinjutsu skill to it, and then he threw it at the spider
The kunai made contact with one of the legs and then it blew up, it dealt some damage but it was not enough, it mostly just annoyed the spider, and Naruto knew this because it started to attack him with multiple legs at the same time, so it was getting harder for Naruto to dodge
Naruto then changed his strategy and created several clones, each one of them had a kunai in hand and some explosive tags, all of them threw a kunai with a tag on it, the kunai hit on the spider's leg and two of them hit the face of the spider
This time it did some damage, almost one quarter of the spider's HP, the spider was now angry, and started to move more sporadically and this made it even harder to evade, all the clones were destroyed pretty quickly and Naruto received almost half of his HP in damage, he had to evade the hits or he would die soon
Naruto started running backwards and created some more clones, some of the clones jumped on top of the spider and started to stab it in the back as well as putting some tags that blew up on the back of the spider, this dealt another quarter of damage to the spider, but he couldn't keep doing that, he was running out of CP because of all the clones, he had enough CP to do it once more but he had to find a way to deal more damage.
The spider had already destroyed all the clones, and started following Naruto again, and it was getting close fast, Naruto then turned around to see where he was going, and he noticed a building on the forest, and thought that the building must be Ernst's old home; maybe he had something that could help him against this spider
He created some clones to distract the spider for a while, and then went inside the home
He checked to see what he could find, he found a rusty sword, and though that, that must be the sword Ernst asked him to look for, he also found some fuma shuriken that could help him with the spider, and then he started to get the memories of his clones that were being dispelled outside, he knew that the spider was outside so he needed to go out there and fight it, he grabbed two fuma shuriken and the sword and headed outside
He attached all his remaining tags to one of the shuriken, then threw the first one, this made the spider block that one with one of his legs, then he threw the shuriken with the tags on it towards the spider's face, but the spider blocked again with one of his legs, the tags then exploded making the spider lose more than half of its remaining health, Naruto then jumped through the smoke that the explosion made, and stabbed the spider in the head with the sword, it killed the spider immediately
That sword dealt massive damage, so maybe he should get one later on Naruto thought.
Naruto then grabbed the sword from the corpse and headed back to Ernst's shop
"I'm back Ernst" said Naruto as he had finally gotten out of the forest, and then he arrived at Ernst's shop
"You took your time" said Ernst
"I got lost in the forest, the map you gave me, didn't really helped" said Naruto
"Well I hope you got Historica, as I asked you" said Ernst
"Yeah here it is" said Naruto putting the sword on Ernst's hands "I used it to kill one of those spiders"
"Well, if it helped you survive there, I'm fine with it" said Ernst "Well here you go" said Ernst giving him the fuinjutsu book as promised
"Thanks Ernst, well I'm heading home, see ya later" said Naruto
"See you later kid" said Ernst as Naruto headed back home, on his way he got a notification
Side quest completed
Get Historica for Ernst
Reward: 2000 Ryo 2000XP

And then he got another notification
Level up
NAME: Naruto Uzumaki
RANK: Genin
LV: 9
XP: 0/2500
HP: 4000/4000
CP: 7500/7500
ATK: 69
DEF: 49
RES: 52
SPD: 66
INT: 41
WIS: 59
LUCK:?
Wow he went up by two levels, maybe the mission and the spider XP gave him enough too level up, and also his WIS had gone up by a lot, he wondered why, he then got a box to answer him
If you are wondering why your WIS went up so fast, it was because you learned the tree climbing chakra exercise, WIS is your chakra control and it goes up when you learn a new control exercise, the other stats can also go up when you do certain things, but you will have to find what things you need to do to make them go up on your own
Well that was good to know, until now he had just gotten stats from leveling up but now if he found out how to get his stats up he could become stronger without a level up, he was excited to find out what he had to do
But right now he wanted to go back home and learn the medium fuinjutsu skill, after that he would eat ramen and take a shower, it was also getting late and he needed to go to sleep soon to be able to do missions tomorrow with his team.
Decided to end it there, tell me what you thought

Professor Layton series (DS, 3DS)
The Layton series is a great puzzle series, some of the puzzle are really hard and take some time to break, but apart from the puzzle the Layton series has a great story
