Naruto was walking around the village still wondering about this weird Jutsu/Kekkei Genkai. He wasn't sure what it was and as of now, doesn't care since it seems to only benefit him so far. Although it did seem like his gramps knew something.

Too bad he was administered to the hospital for having seven simultaneous heart attacks.

He does hope his gramps will pull through. I mean who will pay for his ramen if he is dead. Oh, and also the moral support he guesses. Not that it will change anything now, since if this isn't any Jutsu of his Kekkei Genkai, he turned freshly Insane and should probably seek medical attention.

Pff, who is he kidding the doctors wouldn't treat him without one of the ANBUs or the Hokage threatening them to treat his injuries.

Not really paying attention to where he was, he soon found himself in a training field. And he could see someone on the training field. Well, more lying on the training field and seeming to sleep. Rolling his eyes because there could only be one who would sleep in the middle of the day.

"Oi, Shikamaru!" Naruto called out to him, which got the black-haired boy to turn to his other side. Sighing for he know that he won't get any more sleep, he stood up and greeted Naruto back.

"What are you doing here Naruto?" He asked because normally nobody would use this training field. It was a good distance away from the village. Making it an unfavourable place to train, since nobody wanted to walk there. "I could ask you the same. Wouldn't this walking be too troublesome?"

Rather than answering, Shikamaru scratched his head to get some grass out of his hair. "You would be right. But having other people train and making loud noises is a lot more troublesome." Seeming to be awake more or less he again asked what Naruto was doing here.

"Hm? I was just walking around thinking about something that happened to me recently. Hey, maybe you can help me!"

Shikamaru looked at him warily with a raised eyebrow. "Not sure. Every time you are involved it has something to do with a prank or something." Wanting to disagree, he found that he couldn't, causing him to flush and rub his neck. "Yeah, I guess so. But this time it's something different. Here I show you!" '[One with Everything]'

Widening his eyes slightly, Shikamaru looked left and right before seeming to forget what he was looking for and lay down on the ground again.

"HEY!" Naruto shouted right next to him crouching, scaring the life out of him and resulting in him jolting three feet off the ground. "WHO!? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!" He yelled in surprise.

"I was here the entire time?" he replied, to which Shikamaru gave him a puzzled look before his eyes widened seeming to remember. "What the- how?"

"Don't know. I either was hit with a Jutsu or I have a Kekkei Genkai or something." Shikamaru, now completely awake, focused on Naruto now. "How did you do this?"

A few minutes of explaining and demonstrating later, Shikamaru could only stare dumbly at Naruto.

'What the fuck...' Something like that would be catastrophic in the wrong hands.

"Say this assistant, PAM-TAM? Did you ask her for advice since then?" Naruto looked at him for a few seconds. Before getting a depressed aura around him. "I'm such an idiot..."

Jolting himself up he shouted its name out.

"PAM-TAM."

At first, nothing happened and Naruto thought he did something wrong. That is until a bright light appeared in front of him causing him and Shikamaru to cover their eyes.

In front of them was a ball of light in different colours, punk and violet being the primary ones.

["You called me Naruto?"]

"What the fuck..." whispered Shikamaru more to himself than anyone.

"Yeah. What exactly are you?" Naruto asked.

The light seemed to 'shift' from a violet/pink duo to a warm blue/yellow one.

["Explaining it to you with your rather underdeveloped thinking and thought process, I will make it simple and would call this your Kekkei Genkai.]

"But how can this be a Kekkei Genkai? It doesn't seem to be Genetic from his body and I can't feel an ounce of Chakra in you." Shikamaru asked sceptically.

As part of the Nara clan, who are infamous for their laziness, he was longing to know more and analyze its secrets. He didn't like not knowing the playing field and the figures on them.

["I a sure you, the reason you don't feel Chakra is because we are in a Genjutsu."] The light ball replied monotonously.

Still sceptical he was about to ask another question when Naruto spoke up.

"What exactly can you do? Also, how do I actually level?"

["That is very easy. I will be able to make you stronger and tougher. As for the second question: You can view your stats at any time by going into your inventory and looking behind you. To level to a group just do the specific thing associated with them."]

"Huh?"

"It means if you want to level up sneak, for example, you would need to use sneak repeatedly." Shikamaru deadpanned.

["By asking someone to be your companion he/she will also be able to enter your inventory and get their own skills and perks. But those are only usable and active when being a companion of you."]

"So I can get help from others?" Naruto scratch his kin and turned toward Shikamaru who has an impassive stare.

"How about it Shikamaru?" he asked him curiously.

Getting out of his thinking Shikamaru looked toward Naruto. "So troublesome. Fine count me in."

As soon as Shikamaru said those words he could see three different bars in different colours at the edge of his vision.

"(Inventory)"

The world was shortly dark before the night sky illuminated the grassy meadow they both found themselves in.

"Huh... this, this is actually nice." Shikamaru perceived looking around the beautiful landscape, as much as the thick most would allow at least.

"Yeah I know right?" Turning around he came face to face with a grinning Naruto.

"So we both get transported when one of us says it." behind Naruto Shikamaru could see two blue floating boxes. Walking past Naruto he observed them both.

"This must your 'Stats'" he said, pointing to his right. "And those..."

'That's... incredible useful for training.' Shikamaru thought looking through his Stats. Stopping at a few of those [Perks] Naruto was talking about. 'I can see through you? This sounds incredible.'.

"Naruto, do you love ramen?" Turning from his own Stats, the blond looked at him like he had grown a second head. "Of course! Ramen is the food of the gods." [Genuine]

Shikamaru was confused. Somehow he knew that it was genuine, even thou he couldn't tell why. It wasn't like a sense or a feeling. It was more of a fact. A fact that was shoved into your head and forced to accept.

It was frightening.

Shaking himself of the feeling, Shikamaru looked at Naruto's Stats, and promptly choked when he saw his [Attributes].
'The Hell?! He has more than double in everything but health!'

"Naruto how can you have so much more Chakra than me? And your recovery of them is insanely high as well."
Looking at his own and comparing them with Shikamaru's he shrugs. "Don't know. Always had much more Chakra than most people. And I also heal naturally extremely fast. Don't have a clue why."

Contemplating in his head, there's something not fitting. Shikamaru would love to know why but is limited with this information, conclusions are rather hard and near conspiracies.

"Say, what does Jinchuriki mean Naruto?" Looking perplexed, the blond went over his Stats again. "Where?"
Pointing right next to his name, which Shikamaru concluded must be titles or something like that. "There. I think its your title. Would make sense since mine is 'Lazy Genius'"

Squinting his eye, Naruto tried really hard to see if he knew.

Shikamaru waited patiently.

...

Very patiently

"I GOT IT!" Naruto suddenly yelled. Poor Shikamaru who opted to take a nap in the nice scenery once again jolted awake.
"Stop that!" he grumbled but listened to what the blond had to say.

Scratching his neck and giving him an apologetic smile "Sorry. Anyways I remember now! Gramps was talking about it one time with a ninja."

"And where is he now?"

"In the hospital!" Shikamaru got a small bit of guilt. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure he can pull through."

That got Naruto a grimace "He should hope. Who would pay for my Ramen then? Come one let's ask him!" '(Inventory)'

Grabbing Shikamaru by the collar, he practically dragged the pineapple-head to the hospital.

Shikamaru's live has gotten so much more troublesome now.
