Naruto: Game On Chapter 2, a naruto fanfic

Naruto: Game On

Chapter 2: Learning

Edited & Revised: 7/13/19

A/N: Ayo! Welcome to the 2nd chapter of Naruto: Game On. After the first chapter did so well I figured I would finish up this one and post it. As it was already a third of the way done. I don't know how but I somehow got myself to write 4k words in just over 24 hours. I'm tired but proud. This is kind of fresh off the press and may have a few errors. I try to be careful when I write but the longer you write in one sitting the more prone to errors you are. It also doesn't help that I don't have a beta right now and I find rereading my own work a bit tedious. If you catch anything feel free to leave a comment about it and I'll try to fix it.

Also, just a FYI but hopefully the 3rd chapter will be out by the end of the month. I worked hard to finish this one up so I'm taking a few days off to unwind and work out some more of the storyboard. Also, I'm going to have to work around school when I start back. Anyway….This chapter has a LOT more story compared to last one, so I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the mentioned works.

Exhausted.

That was the one word to describe how Naruto felt.

He was flat on his back and panting like a dog. One moment he was helping save a cat from a gruesome death via suffocation. The next he was blurring across the rooftops of Kohona at speeds that seemed impossible.

He wasn't sure why it mattered so much. Maybe it was his pride. Maybe he just really didn't want to fail his first quest. Regardless, the result was the same. He had pushed his young body to its limit and was paying for it. When he reached the grounds of the academy he dropped like log.

He was out of chakra and too stiff to do anything other than stare dumbly at the words in air above him. Oh, on a side note. He learned the notifications were holograms generated by his watch.

Oh wait...that was already established….

By pushing your body to its limit your STR, DEX and VIT have all increased by +2.

A skill has been created [Hyper-Stride]

'Huh, what's this?' thought Naruto. He went to his skills page and saw it listed under ninjutsu.

[Hyper-Stride]: unranked next lv= 0/100

Info: Using chakra you increase your bodies speed and reaction time far beyond what even normal chakra enhancement is capable of. Due to this the technique is chakra intensive.

Skill Type: Toggle+enhancement

Effect: Increase movement speed 100%

Drain: 15CP per second

'Huh. That's pretty damn cool! I can definitely see some uses for this. The only downside is the chakra drain,' said Naruto in his head. He checked his status and saw that he was out of chakra, had the 'fatigue' status effect for 20 seconds and was missing some health.

'Hmm, I'm out of chakra and some health's missing. Did the jutsu start using my HP to sustain itself once I was out of chakra? And if that's the case then the fatigue is a given. I'll have to try to make sure I never run out of chakra or that could be a problem.' thought the blond.

Slowly, he felt his muscles start to respond to his commands, so he got up and walked the last few yards and entered the academy. The blond swiftly walked the halls until he reached his classroom. He saw his sensei standing outside the doorway greeting students as he entered.

A notification popped up.

Quest Complete:

Naruto couldn't help the sense of satisfaction that came over him. He guessed he was entitled to it though. Even if he didn't do much, It was still his first quest completion. He couldn't help the excitement. He let a smirk grace his face while wondering "What's next?".

"NARUTO!?" yelled a voice.

Said blond was startled out of his thoughts at the startled voice of his teacher. He peeled his eyes away from the holographic words and stared at Iruka's shocked visage.

"Yo," was all Naruto said.

"You-You're….early?" asked a confused Iruka.

"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be? Don't tell me you thought that I would actually be late on the first day back?"

"But you were almost always late last year. In fact, you also had the most absences in the history of the Academy!"

"That's because we were being taught all the boring stuff last year. If you remember, I barely missed a day once you started teaching us."

That much was true. When Iruka started teaching the class in last month and a half of the school year Naruto was almost always present. In fact, he had taken a bit of a shining to the little blond. He couldn't even completely fault him for saying the 1st year was boring. It was basically civilian school on steroids. But it was still important.

Iruka sighed, "I guess you're a little right Naruto. The first year is never the most exciting and you were still good enough to pass. But don't you even think of skipping this year!" Said the chunin.

Naruto cracked a smile and said, "I wouldn't dream of it. I get to learn all the cool stuff this year!"

"Heh, I know you won't Naruto. Now, get to class!" Said Iruka with a sigh.

Naruto simply smiled before heading into the classroom. Everyone inside was busy talking so all but a few noticed his presence. He took a seat in the far back and closed his eyes in thought.

'Sorry sensei but I had no way of controlling it when those garbage teachers kicked me out of class!' Raged the Uzumaki in silence.

He let out a near inaudible growl as memories assaulted him.

'I'm sorry, but Naruto-san...could you step out for a few minutes?'

Hours felt like a much better word.

'Hey! I saw you throw that paper! Out now!'

He hadn't tossed anything.

'Uzumaki, your excused from this lesson due to your condition. Please leave.'

Why and what condition?

'I thought I told you to stop talking brat! Go to the principal's office now!'

He never said a word the entire class.

'Out of the classroom brat! This lesson is for students who are actually smart. Not animals like yourself. Besides, wouldn't you rather be wasting your time pranking the good citizens of this village?'

The humiliation hurt.

By the time he was done going down memory lane he was visibly shaking, and his fists were clenched so hard he nearly drew blood.

The only thing that pulled him out of his thoughts was a headache that was steadily growing more painful in joint with his anger.

He let out of huff before whispering to himself, "I just don't get it. What the hell did I ever do to them to get treated like shit? They tried their absolute best to make sure I failed miserably."

True to his word the civilians had went out of their way to make sure he missed as many classes as possible. If he had to guess, Naruto estimated that he had missed roughly a third of his classes last year.

That was honestly the largest inspiration for his training sessions the year prior. He was honestly scared they might just kick him out one day. The amount of "missed" days he had would've been more than enough to be expelled.

Why he wasn't? He had no clue.

What he did have a clue about was the fact that being kicked out of the academy would've almost completely destroyed any hope he had of being a ninja.

He couldn't let his dream die like that. He wouldn't let his dream die like that.

The year was long and grueling, but he managed to learn just enough to get by. Even if only by the skin of his teeth.

Iruka was different though. He treated Naruto like a normal student and gave him a fair chance. That made the blond quickly take a liking to him. The fact that he was a pretty good shinobi also gave him some"cool points" in the Uzumaki's book. Naruto was broken out of his thoughts when he felt someone brush up against him. He opened his eyes and saw the emo prince himself, Sasuke Uchiha, walk past and sit next to the far window.

Naruto looked intently at the Uchiha. The guy's attitude never set right with him. He was always so cold and distant to everyone around him. It didn't matter who you were or what you did. You would still get the cold shoulder.

Naruto wasn't an idiot though. He knew that Sasuke wasn't always like this and what caused him to change so much. About halfway through last year his older brother, Itachi Uchiha, flipped out and killed the rest of the Uchiha clan except for him.

He had had a family that loved and care for him. Nearly idolized him in fact. Only to suddenly have it ripped away by the person you adored.

Then he was alone.

Left all by himself with nothing but questions that would go unanswered and the only thing to comfort him was the soul chillingly loneliness.

Naruto couldn't relate to the feeling of loss since he never had but he most certainly understood what it felt like to be alone. He understood the sorrow and misery isolation brought upon a person and he intimately understood the anger that built when your questions went unanswered.

In that sense he could relate to the Uchiha so much it hurt, but what bothered him was how he behaved. Unlike him, Sasuke had people who at least acted like they cared for him and went out of their way to cheer him up. Yet, Sasuke shut them out completely and grew cold towards them all.

Yes, Naruto most certainly could understand his pain, but he didn't agree with his actions.

His train of thought was broken yet again when he saw words appear over Sasuke's head.

'You'd think that something like this would just be built into the system. I wonder what the others stats are,' thought Naruto.

It was that train of thought that caused Naruto to look over the classroom. Looking around the classroom he saw mostly everyone was between lv 3 and 4. That being said, there were a few that broke the trend for better or worse.

"It seems that when it comes to skill level I'm in the upper middle part of my class. That's not bad but I'm changing it as fast as I can," thought the blond, conviction in his voice.

"-to."

"I mean…if I'm gonna be a kage, then being average just isn't gonna cut it," Continued Naruto.

"-ruto!"

"I wonder why Sakura's level is so low? I know she's smart. Maybe she just doesn't train a lot?" He was genuinely curious. It was really low.

"Are you even listening Naruto!?"

"Hmm, she was kinda nice to me last year. Maybe I should talk to her about it sometime. I may even be able to help her out!" Concluded the boy.

"NARUTO UZUMAKI! PAY ATTENTION TO ME WHEN I'M SPEAKING TO YOU DAMMIT!" Shouted a very angry Iruka.

Apparently, he was a little too lost in thought….

Naruto nearly shot out of his seat in surprise. He looked towards the front of the class and saw the devil come-to-life, Iruka using Big Head No Jutsu.

"I would very much appreciate it if you paid attention when I'm speaking Naruto," said the scarred Chunin in a dangerously nice voice.

The only reply he got in return was a meek and quiet "sorry". Shaking his head with a smile he continued, "Anyways, as I was saying, we will be having our first target practice drill after lunch.

Iruka then produced a bag of pamphlets from behind his desk.

"These pamphlets have extra information about shuriken and kunai throwing that I didn't go over in the lecture as well as some more techniques and tips. I will give you a bit of time to look over them before we begin," he finished. He then started passing them out.

When Naruto received his something interesting happened.

You've received the skill book [Kunai and Shuriken Bukijutsu].

Would you like to learn this skill?
[Y/N]

Naruto eyed the text that appeared before him and then curiously looked at the book in his hand. Following a few more seconds of staring he accepted….only for the pamphlet to dissolve in digital wisps.

"Uh….was that supposed to happen?" Questioned Naruto quietly. He was praying no one saw that. Peering around him he noticed no one seemed to be looking his away.

He sighed in relief and whispered, "I guess being a nobody paid off for once."

A wild notification suddenly appeared!

A skill has been created [Beginner Kunai and Shuriken Bukijutsu].

[Beginner Kunai and Shuriken Bukijutsu]: unranked next lv= 0/100

Info: The Basics are key! Level this skill up to improve your accuracy and skill with kunai and shuriken.*Stackable*

Skill Type: Passive

Effect: Bukijutsu accuracy increased by 0.1%

Drain: none

"Wait a minute! You mean to tell me it increases my accuracy by a TENTH of a PERCENT! The hell am I supposed to do with that?!" He shouted mentally.

He muttered a handful of inaudible curses under his breath before tuning back in to Iruka. He had finished passing out the pamphlets and had been going over the information It seems as if Naruto picked the perfect time seeing as Iruka chose that moment to stop lecturing and address the class again.

"Okay students you will now have the lunch period to review the information I've covered with the pamphlet. Afterwards I expect you to be ready for your initial assessment," Said the scarred-chunin in a no-nonsense tone of voice.

With that said a bell rang and everyone in the class file out to head to lunch. Naruto was one of the last to get up and leave. He was nearly out of the door when something happened.

Random Event! Luck Check!

"Hey Naruto, why are your hands empty? What happened to your pamphlet? I gave you one, didn't I?" Questioned Iruka in a rapid-fire manner.

Naruto had to forcibly stop his eyes from widening in surprise. He kept a relatively passive face, but he was panicking on the inside. What was he gonna say? What was he gonna do? He couldn't very well say "Well you see sensei; my life is a living video game and when you gave me the pamphlet it went up in pixels" right?

No.

He couldn't tell Iruka about the game. He'd call him crazy and have him shipped to the psych ward, or better yet he would believe him and tell someone else. Then word would no doubt get to the council and they would have him shipped off to Torture and Interrogation to have him tell them all he knew about the game and find out if they could exploit it themselves!

Wait, could he tell anyone? Could he even trust the Old Man or the Ichiraku's? Most likely not! The realization of just how bizarre his situation was and the fact that he would have to lie constantly to keep it secret was set in all at once. When combined with Iruka patiently waiting for a response he couldn't handle it. His brain was shutting down.

Then suddenly everything calmed down. His mind cleared and he felt like he was sharper than ever. In his focused state he realized that this had to be gamers mind. He then subconsciously repeated what Iruka said to him and his final question stuck out for some reason. Iruka had asked him if he had given him a pamphlet. He didn't remember fully! That was his way out.

Naruto went to speak but suddenly as quick as the idea came it was gone. He couldn't remember what he was going to say. It was as if someone or something ripped the

words clean from his mouth. With that realization the panic set back in full force and he did the only thing he could think of.

"Hehehe...well the thing is sensei...Gotta go!" Yelled the blond as he bolted out the door, down the halls and to the courtyard. Leaving one very stunned and confused Umino Iruka.

"That kid….I swear. I'll never know what goes on in that mind of his," said the scar nosed teacher as he scratched his head humorously.

(Scene Change: Academy Courtyard)

Naruto had made a mad dash to the courtyard. Hoping and praying that Iruka wouldn't chase him and press the issue. Once he realized he wasn't being followed he chose to double back to where he kept his hidden stash of ration and protein bars for lunch. He could only really afford ramen and the bars.

Given that there was no way he could use the microwave the choice was obvious. He also had to make sure they were hidden since his apartment was often broken into as well as his school locker.

After securing his food he sat down under a tree on the far side of the courtyard and started snacking while he thought over what happened minutes ago with his sensei.

"What the hell was that? It was like my mind just blanked. Did gamers mind glitch out or something?" He asked to no one in particular.

His train of thought continued until…

Random event! Luck check! Failed! -1 to luck skill.

"Wait what? I lost a stat!" Exclaimed Naruto. He was about to go on a tirade but then…

Error! Error! Random Eve- Error! Error- Lu-Ch-Error! Fai-Error! Not Fo-Error!

Random Event! Luck Check! Passed! +1 skill point.

"Okay then….definitely a glitch," said the blond. He had just watched the game have an aneurysm. There honestly wasn't much to say. He'd take the skill point though. With that issue resolved he decided it was a good time to do a recap of today's events thus far.

"So, let's get this straight. I wake up. See a strange glowing light. Touch it like a dumbass. Turn the entirety of my life into a video game. Spend waaaay too long reading explanations and other bs before my asshole landlord comes by and gives me a bs quest to pay him money. Which I still haven't done yet. Then I get a quest that I can't refuse that wants me to get to academy on time…." he paused for air.

"...only to find out the quest had two hidden objectives. One of which I discovered while hauling ass to said academy and turned out to be saving a poor cat from a fat chick. The other was achieved after I apparently made a skill by nearly killing myself sprinting and arrived early. And the rest happened to recently for me to bother repeating. Also, I'm talking to myself because I'm frustrated at the day's events and need an outlet!" He finished somewhat loudly. Though due to the distance he was away from everyone else no one heard.

If one was to listen extremely carefully they may have heard a cute sneeze drifting in the wind. Strangely emanating from the fence a few feet behind the tree our favorite Uzumaki was sitting under.

"Yeah, it's definitely a Monday….," muttered the blond.

Sighing said Uzumaki pondered on something that was bugging him. 'I wonder if what happened to that pamphlet happens to any scroll or informative book I touch? If so does it only work once, or can it be repeated? And if it is repeatable then what happens? Ugh, it doesn't matter. I'll probably figure it out sooner or later,' thought the blond Uzumaki.

His eyes drifted over the courtyard and scanned over his classmates. While doing this he noticed the distinct lack of Hinata Hyuuga. Now that in and of itself was rather common and therefore forgettable but this time it managed to spark a dormant train of thought.

"Huh, now that I think about it wasn't there something a little off about Hinata's status on my relationship page?" Questioned Naruto. Deciding to verify himself. He used his watch and went to R&R (reputation and relationships) and pulled hers up.

Hinata Hyuuga= ?: 8000/10000

*Talk to her for more info*

"Yeah, like I thought. There are question marks instead of relationship rank and given its out of 10k she either really likes me or hates me. The thing is though, neither of those options makes much sense," said the blond. He hadn't done anything for or to her if he recalled right. He did prank the Hyuuga once but only the adults as per usual.

"The fact that it says talk to her is also new. I guess I'll figure it out later," decided Naruto tiredly. With that done he figured he would use the last of lunch for nap time. As he slowly fell asleep. He was none the wiser of the Hyuuga who overheard everything and saw a fair bit via byakugan.

(Time Style: 10 Minute Timeskip no Jutsu)

You have slept on the cold, hard ground. HP and chakra restored 25%.

Awoken by the sound of the bell ringing. Naruto sprung up, stretched the crooks out of his back and headed back to class.

He was the last to get there and take his seat. After he sat Iruka spoke.

"It seems as if everyone is here so let's head to the academy training ground. Sakura " you lead the way," said the chunin. Getting a "Yes sensei" as a response. The class began filing out behind the pinkette and once again the blond was the last to move.

As he was passing by Iruka called out to him and pulled him aside.

"Hey Naruto. I'm not sure what happened earlier, and I honestly don't even want to know but here. Take this pamphlet. I'm not sure how much it'll help but you will at least have some idea of what you're doing when it's your turn to go," said the teacher as he handed Naruto the item.

The blond grabbed it before speaking, "Yeah, thanks sensei but it's ok. I actually listened to what you said plus I was able to get a student let me see theirs at lunch".

"Also, I'm not really sure what happened earlier. You just forgot to give me one. I guess I was just a little flustered you called me out on it plus my stomach was bothering me at the time," said Naruto as he mixed truth with lies to add credibility.

Iruka smiled before saying, "I find the whole 'you listening' thing hard to believe but I'll buy it". He then patted the kids head before telling him to hurry up and walked out.

A notification has challenged you to a battle!

You've received the skill book [Kunai and Shuriken Bukijutsu].

Would you like to learn this skill?
[Y/N]

Deciding to see what happened Naruto clicked yes once more.

You have already learned this skill and cannot relearn it.

Well that was a bummer. He was hoping something interesting would happen. Time to go catch up he guessed.

(Scene change: Academy training ground)

Iruka stood in front of his class about two dozen feet from five hole-riddled training posts. The chunin instructor cleared his throat before addressing the class.

"Alright, this is where you'll have your target practice drills from now on. You will be given ten kunai and ten shuriken," started the instructor.

"Your objective will be to hit each target twice in a vital spot for a perfect score of 10 out of 10. Your accuracy with both the kunai and shuriken will make up your overall score of 20 out of 20. To pass you need a score of 40% or more. So, with that said, any volunteers?" Questioned Iruka as he finished explaining.

Naruto watched quietly off from the side as Iruka gave his explanation. 'Ya know….I wonder if this is a quest? Maybe a repeatable one?' He watched as a civilian chose to go first and felt sorry for him as he only got a 6/20. The kid seemed distraught but Iruka convinced him he would have another shot.

This process continued as more less memorable kids volunteered with varying success rates. Then slowly but surely more recognizable faces started stepping up to take their turn. First the lazy bum of a Nara, followed by Sakura, then Hinata, etc. Then it was Sasuke's turn. The smug bastard got a 19/20. Only just missing one shuriken.

Before he knew it, he was up and Iruka gave him his weapons of choice while going over the rules again.

A notification appeared.

[Side Quests Unlocked]

It's all in the wrist(*): It's your first official target practice drill. Don't make a fool of yourself!

Accept?

[Y/N]

'I called it!'

After his little mental victory. He realized that it would look kinda awkward to raise his hand and tap yes. So instead he tried imagining accepting and….it worked! Add that to today's list of W's.

'Alright, focus up. Both the game and Iruka need me to pass with a score of 40% or 8/20. Not bad just gotta calm my nerves and not be intimidated by the Uchiha's score...no problem.' he thought as he worked himself up.

He let the kunai fly first. Flicking them two at a time. They cut through the air with a sharp whistle.

!Thunk!

Seven. Not bad at all. Pretty good honestly. Now he just needed one shuriken to hit and he insta passed. Shouldn't be hard. He grabbed the Shuriken and repeated the process.

…

…..

Nothing. Not a damn thing hit. Every single one grazed a target but no purchase. Damn him and his big mouth….mind?

"Aye, it's alright Naruto. You didn't do bad. The shuriken are lot harder than the kunai in my opinion anyway," comforted his chunin instructor.

"Yeah, I know. Plus, I have two more tries. Still sucks though," replied the blond. His pride was a little damaged, but he was determined to redeem himself.

He was the last to go and when he stepped back into the crowd Iruka said it was time for repeats. Most took it but a few such as the Uchiha chose to keep their scores. No need to damage his "record".

Naruto noted that the order was decidedly different this time it seemed as if those who did the worst went first. As such he got his turn a fair bit quicker. Right around mid-way through this time.

He stepped up once again and Iruka gave him a nod and pat on the back. He took a breath and let the kunai fly.

Eight resounding thunks were heard. Good. Now he really had to focus. No way he was failing twice in a row. This time he took each shuriken and threw each individually in a rapid-fire manner. Cutting through the air with an audible whoosh he was rewarded with the following:

!Snickt!

!Thump!

!Snickt!

!Thump!

!Snickt!

!Thump!

!Snickt!

Seven slashed the targets as they whizzed by. Three found purchase. Sinking into the hay filled dummies. 11/20? He could work with that.

"Hey! Good job! That's better Naruto. It's also a passing score. Feel proud," beamed Iruka.

Naruto allowed a small smile to set itself upon his as he gave a "Thank you sensei." and got back in line. He still wasn't pleased with his shuriken accuracy, but he did what he said he would. A pass is a pass after all.

Naruto decided to lay down off to the side and observe as the cycle continued and started again. The third time around considerably less people decided to retry, and Naruto was one of the last to go. He happened to be going after Kiba this time around.

Speaking of said person…

"Hey Naruto! I bet you can't beat my score dead-last" Exclaimed the Inuzuka. He was mighty proud of his score of 14.

Naruto felt his eye twitch…

"So, he wants to make it a competition huh? Ok then," Muttered the pissed Uzumaki. He could do that…

"JUST WATCH ME MUTT!" Retorted Naruto as he stepped up. He grabbed his kunai as he tuned out Iruka and focused on the targets. He let loose the kunai and 10 thunks were heard.

Lightwork.

He went to grab to shuriken but paused. He had to be careful here as these were where he had the most problems. After two attempts he had gotten a feel for how they flew and how to adjust for their weight. If he took his time he was sure he could sco- You know what? Screw that! He was doing this the fun way!

"Luck don't fail me now," whispered the blond. He grabbed all ten and put five in each hand….then he let em rip.

!Snickt!

!Thunk!

He couldn't help the smirk that wormed its way onto his face. He didn't even need to turn around. He could just feel Kiba's jaw drop and eye start to twitch. Out of the corner of his eye he could also see Iruka's equal part surprised/impressed look.

Mentally thanking his luck, he turned around and walked off back to where he had been sitting. With a quick glance his suspicions about the state of Kiba's face was confirmed and his smirk grew three sizes larger.

While he was musing over his latest accomplishment he absent mindedly noted Hinata went after him and was the last one up. She got a surprising 18/20. The second-best score behind Sasuke.

With the retries officially over Iruka cleared his throat once more and addressed the class.

"Well seeing as it was your first day back I think this is a good spot to call it a day. You all did great today! Go home and get some sleep tonight. Tomorrow will be a full day and lecture heavy,' started Iruka.

"If any of you need to get stuff from the classroom before you leave follow me," finished the teacher as he left.

He got 1.5k ryo and 2k xp from that? He'd take it. Not to mention he leveled up a skill twice and leveled up himself. Yeah, he definitely wouldn't complain.

It was at this moment Naruto remembered he need to talk to Iruka.

'Didn't I have a quest to talk to him?" questioned Naruto. He referred to his GNW5k to check.

Uzumaki Legends: While learning about the concept of fuinjutsu and the games application of it; you discover the Uzumaki Clan. They were a clan so skilled in fuinjutsu that they were revered and feared all throughout the elemental nations. A clan that you just so happen to share the same name last name with. Is it coincidence or something more? Maybe Iruka will know something…

"Yup," he said to himself. He was about to take off after his sensei only to realize he should probably try to talk to Hinata first. So, he did just that….

Only to look around and find out she was nowhere to be seen.

…...shoot.

"Aaaand back to talking to Iruka," said the blond. With that he headed back towards class.

(Time style: A Few Minutes Later no Jutsu)

When Naruto arrived at the classroom he noticed only Iruka was the only one left. He also realized that he might finally learn something about his family….or have his hopes crash and burn...

Perfect. He was nervous enough as is.

Iruka noticed him enter immediately. "You need something Naruto?" Questioned the Chuunin.

"Umm, yeah. I actually wanted to ask you something," was Naruto's slightly awkward response

"Okay, shoot."

"Have you ever heard of an Uzumaki Clan?"

"The Uzumaki?" Repeated Iruka.

"Yeah, do you know anything about them? Do they exist?" Pressed the blond rather nervously.

Iruka let out a small chuckle before replying, "Yeah, yeah. I know of them and they did exist".

"Well more than exist. More like thrive if anything. They had their own Hidden Village called Uzushiogakure and were even allied with Konohagakure up until the start of the third war," Finished Iruka.

They were real! The Uzumaki Clan actually existed! He may actually have family out there somewhere!

"Does that mean I'm a part of the clan then? Since my last name is Uzumaki?" Asked a very excited Naruto.

Iruka scratched his chin before replying, "Hmm, you could be, or it could just be a surname. I wouldn't know for sure. I can tell you what I do know though. That spiral that's on your clothes and the back of every chunin and jounin jacket is their clan symbol. It was placed there to pay respect to their memory".

It was at this moment Naruto's gamer's mind kicked in to alert him of something.

"Wait. What do you mean by 'pay respect to their memory'?" Questioned the blond. He could feel a pit growing in his stomach.

"I'm sorry to break it to you but the Uzumaki clan was wiped out at the very start of the Third Great Shinobi War," said Iruka solemnly.

Just like that, his dreams of family had been crushed in an instant.

"Oh, I see…" was the despondent response received. He bowed his head. He really was alone.

Seeing the look in his student's eye Iruka tried to rectify the problem.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Cheer up! Their village was destroyed but I'm certain there are more than a few roaming the wilds!" Exclaimed the teacher in a desperate bid to cheer up his student.

Naruto looked up. A ray of hope visible in his eyes. Iruka pounced on it.

"And i'll tell you what. I'll do some digging to see if I can find out more about them. That way you can at least know about your clan and have knowledge of them. Deal?" Iruka asked with a smile present on his face.

Naruto cheered up exponentially. Giving a "Thank you Iruka-sensei" as a reply. He decided to ask his sensei something else while he was at it.

"Sensei, I don't suppose you could help me with my taijutsu?" Asked the blond. The "flawed" status attached to it annoyed him.

"Taijutsu? I haven't even officially begun to teach that yet. You all received an introduction last year as a bonus end of the year class but still. It's a little strange for you to ask for help on something I haven't even started on," retorted the teacher.

Naruto wasn't giving up.

"I know. It's just that I know clan kids tend to get a head start and I was just hoping that…," he trailed off.

Not exactly the real reason and a low blow for sure but hey, Naruto came from the streets.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

Iruka sighed before replying, "Alright, fine. That works out anyways because I can tell you what I find while training you. Come here this weekend and I give you some tips".

Naruto beamed before nodding and taking his leave. Leaving a smiling Iruka.

(Scene Change: Ichiraku's Ramen)

About half an hour passed since Naruto's talk with Iruka and said blond could now be found munching down on his 7th bowl of ramen. That may seem like a lot but for the bottomless pit of a blond it was lightwork….and honestly kinda odd. He would normally be double his current amount. It seems like someone else took notice of this as well.

"Naruto-kun, is something wrong? You're eating kind of slow," asked Ayame Ichiraku. She was the brown haired 14-year-old daughter of Teuchi Ichiraku.

"Nah, I'm okay. Just got a lot on my mind Ayame-chan," replied Naruto. He was referring to the day's events. If his little episode at lunch didn't already say it…...a lot happened today. In his opinion he's handled it really well so far but it's still hard to believe his life was freaking video game! The experience would have to be a little shocking for anyone.

Speak of the devil...

'Accept'

"Okay then. If you say so Naruto-kun. Just remember we're here for ya, kay!" Exclaimed the girl as she passed him his eighth bowl of ramen.

He cracked a smile and nodded. He finished off that bowl and got one more. He figured he'd cut off at nine today.

"Alright, well I hate to cut off early today but I gotta keep some money for the rent," joked Naruto. He stood up and headed for the exit of the ramen stand

Ayame let out a giggle before waving him off.

When he was outside Naruto had an idea.

'It might be a good time to practice my hyper-stride. I got nothing else to do," thought the blond.

With that he activated hyper-stride and took to the roof…..or he would've if he actually knew how to activate it.

"Wait. How do I even activate it?" He said. The only time he actually used it was by reflex upon its creation. Maybe he had to say it aloud….

"Hyper-Stride active," he said. He took a step forward and...nothing.

It didn't work.

Maybe he had to say it louder? He went to speak before making the wise decision and heading into a nearby alley. He didn't want to have crazy added to his list of village stigmas.

"Hyper-Stride active!"

Still nothing.

"Toggle Hyper-stride!"

Nada.

"Enable Hyper-Stride!"

Nope, not today. Maybe he just had to think about turning it on?

He ran into a wall. He also lost 40% of his health. Aaaand he passed out.

(Time Style:2 Hour Time Skip no Jutsu)

After waking up from an hour-long trip to la-la land. He took to the roofs for a solid hour and only stopped to regen chakra. During the downtown he would use Observe and noticed he could now see more detailed information about everyone. Including their stats. However, he noticed that anyone over level 15 had ? for stats.

He also ranked up Hyper-Stride twice. It currently looked something like this.

Currently he was heading ho-...Never mind. He was already there. He opened the door and sat on his couch. He planned on regaining some energy before getting a snack and bath then heading to bed. Hopefully he would get some good slee-...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Son of a….

He got up and opened the door. Only to see his lovely grouch of a landlord. He put his hand out expectantly.

"You gonna pay up or what brat?" Questioned the Landlord impatiently

"Yeah, yeah. I got your money. Just give me a sec," replied Naruto grumpily. He pulled out his Gama-chan wallet and pulled out some bills….only for them to be snatched out of his hand.

"Took you long enough. It's been a pleasure," said the Landlord. A smirk present on his face. Without another word he turned and left.

That guy…..he was definitely something.

Bio:

Naruto Uzumaki, a child whose origins are shrouded in mystery and false truths. He is the pariah of Konoha and as such he has been hated and treated unfairly by the Village all his life for reasons unknown. Due to this he developed a love of pranking and video games to alleviate his loneliness. Despite it all he still has hope in the people of Konoha and is driven by a unbreaking will and pure heart. Naruto strives to be a ninja of his village but has been handicapped every step of the way thus far. Rather he will crack under pressure and fall into darkness or rise above his oppression and forge a legend all his own remains to be seen.
