Subaru: Gamer and Shinobi
Thank you, once again, for all of the amazing support I have gotten. It really makes me happy to see all of the new reviews, favourites and follows. Even just the views are good. At the time of writing this, the story has 175 favourites, 241 followers and 49 reviews.
Thank you to:

First of all, thanks for all of the reviews. It took a while to get through them all. Originally, I was going to reply to every review separately, but it got to over a thousand words, so I decided to just reply overall.
Now, here is the general reply:
Like many people have suggested, I am using an evolution-based system for the perks. This means that since Subaru is an Uzumaki, he will not be getting either the Sharingan or the Byakugan. However, he may choose paths. This could be branching out from Uzumaki to Senju and Otsutsuki. This allows him to get the Rinnegan, but not the Sharingan, however, he probably won't get either. He may get the Mind's Eye of Kagura, though since it is an Uzumaki Bloodline, but he may have to advance his bloodline first.
Thank you for all of the suggestions on Taijutsu. After reading and researching through each and every style I have found, I have decided on using the Twin-Tigers Style from Kengan Ashura, known as the Niko style, due to how it works and how much information is available on it.
With chakra control being perfected, he will get the opportunity to mix them together to get sub-elements like Hyoton and Bakuton. However, these will be chakra intensive as they are not in his blood and are through pure chakra manipulation. Mokuton will take less chakra since it is in his blood.
With pairings, there were a lot of different responses, from Kaguya Otsutsuki for Subaru to a normal NaruHina pairing. I will leave the suggestions for pairing open for Subaru, but I am thinking of having NaruHina. However, know that pairing won't be the main focus of the story.
There will not be a party system in any way shape or form other than AOE regeneration and Kage Bunshin things. I have said this before, but unless there is a great demand for it, I will not be implementing it and I dislike it.
With levelling, here is the boundaries, though these may be off for Subaru, he will need to meet these requirements to advance.
1 – 10: Civillian
11 – 20: Academy Student
21 – 30: Genin
31 – 50: Chunin
51 – 80: Jonin
81 – 90: Kage
91 – 100: God of Shinobi
101 – 120: Bijuu
121 – 125: God amongst men
126 – 150: God
As some of you may have noticed, Nono Yakushi (Level 46) is extremely weak. This is due to the fact that I think that although Danzo would want for one of his agents to be in the orphanage to get members for ROOT, he wouldn't want one of his stronger members, or even his normal members. In my story, Nono Yakushi, is crippled by a disease, which makes Danzo put her in the orphanage as she still has use.
Other things:
The stats are so high because 1 and a half years is a lot of time to grind. If 100,000 looks really high for an academy student, know that the CP/HP will go into the quadrillions eventually. Also, the CP of the students are so close to Subaru because like I mentioned briefly a few paragraphs ago, the Uzumaki perk is a progressive one. Kind of like how the Sharingan has levels. Every 2 years, the Uzumaki perk will increase and other things may come in. Also, some students are really close because of experience. It is illogical for someone who has 1.5 times less training to be that much above someone else (level 10 and level 15).
Like some have mentioned, I will have caps for all of the stats.
Here are the stat caps:
STR: 1,000
VIT: 1,000
DEX: 1,000
INT: 1,000
LUC: 500
With perks, if I don't know what to put in, I just use a randomiser that I made that takes into account luck to pick a perk out of a list I've made and then I'll incorporate it in somehow.
Lastly, thank you for all of the support. It really motivates me to get new chapters out for all of you. Here is a random fact about the story:
With the level caps and the stat caps, as well as the perks, the highest amount of HP possible is in the Nonillions. (86,410,715,982,931,496,330,219,801,804,800)
Now, on with the story. By the way, for those of you who want to know, excluding reviews and author notes, I aim for between 3,000 and 3,500 words.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, Sasuke would have died and Naruto would have been colder. Seriously, years of hate does stuff to a person.
Education
"Hello, my name is Iruka Umino, and I will be your sensei for the next few years."
I looked at Iruka. He looked as he did in the series, but a bit younger and a bit more cheerful. He looked around the room, stopping at me and Naruto for a few moments before carrying on. By the look in his eyes, he didn't have any prejudice against us, which was probably because of me. With me around, Hokage-jiji has to be more careful, since there are two targets. Additionally, Iruka might think that Naruto couldn't be a demon if someone befriended him. Or it could just be that he dislikes Naruto, but will be professional about it, which makes me really respect him. From canon, he did originally dislike Naruto, but grew to like him.
Another man came into the room... Mizuki...
"Hi! My name is Mizuki, I will also be your sensei for the foreseeable future."
He wore the regular Chunin attire, as he had done in the anime. He clapped his hands together.
"Now.", he said, "Why don't we all introduce ourselves. I'll go first. My name is Mizuki. Chirashizushi (Scattered Sushi), I dislike ramen, my hobbies are training and my dream for the future is personal."
That was a standard intro. Name, likes, dislikes, hobbies and dream. I remember reading once that the only reason he dislikes ramen is that Naruto likes it. For his dream, I don't know what he is thinking. It could be something to do with power, killing Naruto or being acknowledged. I know that one of the main reasons he tried to steal the forbidden scroll was so that he would get acknowledged by Orochimaru.
[For deducting information, +1 INT]
"... tomatoes, I dislike fangirls and my dream for the future is to surpass my brother."
That's right. The Uchiha Clan isn't massacred yet. I'll have to remember to think of what to do with that later. 'Uzumaki' being next after 'Uchiha', after Sasuke's turn, it was Naruto's.
"Now you.", Iruka said, pointing at Naruto.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, 'ttebayo! I like ramen, Jiji and Subaru-Nii, I dislike the 3 minutes it takes for instant ramen to boil and my dream for the future is to be Hokage, 'ttebayo! That way nobody can disrespect me!"
Ahh yes... Our little ball of sunshine. He's still a ramen addict.
"And last but not least...", Iruka left it open for me.
Hmm... How about I say the truth.
"My name is Subaru Uzumaki. I like Naruto, Jiji and the game. I dislike the game's sense of humour and people who judge without reason. My hobbies are playing with Naruto and training. My dream for the future..."
What was my dream for the future? So far, all I had been thinking about was grinding my stats and keeping Naruto safe. But what about the future? Being the most powerful man alive? Sounds good but that's not much of a dream. And plus, given my future scores at the academy (I don't plan on holding back), they may think I am another Orochimaru. What about peace? No... I don't need people laughing at me.
"... is to become as powerful as I can so I can protect my precious people."
Ahh yes... Thank you Haku. You wise trap. So far, I have been grinding to become powerful and protecting Naruto, so why not take it a step further and join them both together. Speaking of Haku, I may be able to save him in this universe, which would help Naruto a lot, since he was really affected by Haku.
Iruka smiled at me while Mizuki had an unreadable expression on his face.
[+250 Rep points with Iruka Umino]
Yay! It was nice to see me getting some Rep points.
[-100 Rep points with Mizuki]
.
.
.
The game hates me.
To be fair, that one was kind of expected. Mizuki doesn't exactly like Naruto, so me being friends with him must make him 'like' me as much as he 'likes' Naruto.
Iruka described what we would be doing in all of the years of the academy:
1st Year: Basic civilian stuff with history.
2nd Year: Advanced history and basic theory.
3rd Year: Last year's stuff, Basic Chakra and Physical Exercises.
4th Year: Last year's stuff, Basic Nin and Tai-Jutsu and Physical Exercises.
At the end of the 4 years, we should be at least at low Genin level. Since I'm at level 12 right now, I'm pretty sure that Genin level will be at least 20.

When we got home for the day, after listening to Iruka talking about what we were going to do in the coming years, I went to my room. After I finished listening to everything in the lecture, I was given this message:
[New perk attained: Academy Student]
Academy Student:
Allows you to gain exp at 2x the normal rate.
Allows you to gain +5 INT for each week you attend the Academy
Both of them perks were nice. Because of that perk, I levelled up once. From just listening. I got a new skill for that too.
[Through repeated actions, the skill Eavesdropping has been created]
Eavesdropping: Lvl 1 (0%):
Allows the user to listen from distances.
Hearing Distance (in Metres) = (Skill Level / 2) * (INT / 10)
With my stat points, I place all 5 in LUC, because why not? I noticed that my stat menu is starting to get cramped so I changed it up a bit during lunch, where we sat with Shikamaru, Choji and Kiba, and told each other about ourselves. 'Command: Menu Interface Change'.

Now, whenever a stat surpasses a million, it will change its syntax. I can also see items now, which I good. I've been wondering whether I should use the item yet or not. And if I do use the item, what should I use it on? Normal chakra? Wind? Anything else? I decided to use both my perk points now, since it'll be a while before I get the LUC higher. 'Perk Store: Draw: x2'.
Two wheels came up at the same time, one delayed about 5 seconds before the first. As the first one ended, I looked at what I got.
You have got: +10 Stat Points: (Rank: Mythic)
Stat, or status, points can be used to improve certain traits. These traits are split into 5 different categories: Strength (STR); Vitality (VIT); Dexterity (DEX); Intelligence (INT); and Luck (LUC).These all influence various things from health capacity, to chakra regeneration to whether or not someone helps you.
It's not exactly the best thing but +10 stat points is really good. The second one is coming to a close now.
You have got: +500 Rep (Rare)
Reputation is how people react, talk and think about you. This could influence business deals, relationships and whether or not someone attacks you. Relationships work in points and can be earned or lost through missions, actions, time,names and, in this case, perks.
Here is how Reputation Points (Rep Points) work:
Exalted: 10,000 and above
Honoured: 5,000 to 10,000
Liked: 1,000 to 5,000
Neutral: -1,000 to 1,000
Disliked: -1,000 to -5,000
Hostile: -5,000 to -10,000
Hated: -10,000 and below
Hmm... I could definitely use that one someone. But who? Hmm... I might as well use the stat points. I put 5 into STR and 5 into VIT, bringing them both up to 145. My health and chakra levels were now 1.25 million and 1.12 million respectively. With the Control Scroll, how does it work on my chakra control. Since I have 63% control, will it leave a 13% control scroll behind? Or will it just use it up?
[For thinking things through, +1 INT]
[The Control Scroll will leave behind a scroll equal to that which is not used. IN your case, it will leave behind a +13% Control Scroll if used on CC]
Thanks game. But do I really want to use it? I mean, It'd be good to have 100% CC, but what about the chakra control exercises? Will they be max levelled or will I still have to level them up?
[For thinking things through, +1 INT]
[If used to get 100% CC, the exercises will not be maxed. However, should you attempt them, they will level at a 500x speed rate, similar to those with barely any chakra, such as Sakura Haruno]
Hmm... that is alright. From the anime, Sakura got the tree walking exercise in about 5 to 10 minutes - in her first few tries. Naruto, who has the closest chakra to my own, since even though he is a Jinchuriki, the stats equal me out with him, got it after a late night training session, so about 12 hours at most overall. If we go by that, 12 hours, which equals to 720 minutes, divided by 10 minutes, means that Sakura got Tree Walking about 72 times faster than Naruto. Since I wasn't an Uzumaki at the time I mastered Tree Walking, I can use that as a base. It took me about a week to master all 20 levels of the tree walking exercise. And that was when I knew how to do it. That means, by the new speed, I would master tree walking in about 45 minutes, or with my knowledge, about 15 minutes.
It took Sakura the rest of the week to master Water Walking, so I'll use that as a higher bound estimate. 168 hours, which we'll divide by 2 to account for resting and working periods, to get 84 hours. Since with low reserves, she'll get tired, I'll take two thirds of that amount, giving me 56 hours, or 3360 minutes. That's 336 times slower than the tree walking exercise. With that, I'll master water walking in about 84 hours. With my reserves and The Gamer ability, the only thing stopping me would be boredom. After accounting for the speed and knowledge, I would master water walking in an upper bound of 50 hours, and a lower bound of 35 hours.
[For thinking things through thoroughly, +2 INT]
That brings me to another point. Shadow Clones. With my current reserves, I should be able to make Kage Bunshin if I'm not mistaken. I didn't try before, because of my CC, since it may have affected my ability to make clones. I looked over to my right, Naruto was already fast asleep. 'Time':
[The time is 11:03:10]
Have I really been thinking and doing things for that long? Let's see what happened after school finished. We went to get ramen. Then we met up with Jiji who wanted to know about our first day. Then we played out at the park until 6. After that, we got home and I made some food for me and Naruto (not ramen). After that, me and Naruto talked for a bit before Naruto watered his plants and we both got ready for bed, which brings me to here. Since Naruto is asleep, I may as well try to do a Kage Bunshin.
I first used my Control Scroll on CC. Use '+50% Control Scroll' on CC:
[You are going to use +50% Control Scroll on CC. Are you sure you want to do this?]
'Yes'
[+50% Control Scroll was used on CC, bringing CC to 100%. A +13% Control Scroll has been places in your inventory.]
[Congratulations on getting 100% Chakra Control. For doing this, have +1000 Ryo, +10 Stat Points, and +1 Perk Point. You have also gotten the perfect control perk.]
Perfect Control:
When a Jutsu is above level 5, you will be able to perform them sealless, and when they are either above level 10 or mastered, depending on the max level, you will be able to do them without effects, e.g. smoke from a Henge, Bunshin or Shunshin.
Yay! I didn't know that I would get those, but I'll take them anyway. The perfect control perk is going to be amazing. Imagine if at the graduation exams, I create a Kage Bunshin outside of the room and then Henge and Kawimari them with an exam proctor without the other one knowing. Now for Kage Bunshin. I made the cross-ram sign that I remembered Naruto always did (like two finger guns, but with the right one facing up, and the left one facing right and resting on the right index finger's knuckles).
'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu', I thought, as I tried to focus my chakra into the room so instead of making hundreds (if I could), I'd make less, but they'd be enhanced and stronger.
2 wisps of smoke appeared into the room, all on my side and away from Naruto. When the smoke cleared, it revealed 2 Kage Bunshin. They didn't make any sound and I fell to my pillow panting.
"Master.", they all said, saluting.

Woah. My chakra really went down.
[Through your actions, a jutsu has been discovered. +1 INT]
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu: Lvl 1 (0%):
Known as Shadow Clones, Kage Bunshin are chakra intensive clones that can interact with objects and will send memories back to the user when dispelled. It is a B rank Kinjutsu due to the chakra requirements and its memory functions.
CP/Clone: 250,000 CP + Extra CP
Clone CP: 100,000 CP + Extra CP
Clone CP Usage: 2,000 CP/min from Clone CP.
Perfect Chakra Control Perk: When a clone dispels, the user will get 50% of the remaining chakra.
Hmm... That means if someone like Kiba had perfect control, he would be able to create one clone. If I remember correctly (which I definitely did), the UI doesn't show their chakra control or affinities. I'll probably get to see them when my skill levels up. I turned to my clones, "How are we going to name ourselves?"
One clone spoke, "I suggest we use either the NATO phonetic alphabet or the Greek alphabet, if we were to have commanding clones. With normal clones, i.e., clones that are under another clones commands or clones that were made by another clone, I suggest numbers."
Me and the other clone nodded at this, "How much chakra and health do you have?"
The same clone spoke, "I have 330,000 CP and 500 HP. A hard punch should be able to dispel me."
I turned to the other clone, "And you?"
"I have the same stats as him, Master. With our current CP, we should be able to go for 5 and a half minutes as long as we are not doing anything.", he said.
I nodded at that, it made sense. For a few moments, I thought. After thinking through things I said, "Very well. I will be master. You can be Alpha and Beta. As Alpha said, we'll have clones named with a letter of the Greek Alphabet. 2nd generation clones will have a number after the letter of their master. 3rd generation clones will have a number after that number, and so on. With numbers, you'll be named in order."
"Hai, Master.", they both said.
"Now, to test memory functions and dispelling. Alpha, go with Beta into the other room and tell him something before coming back.", I said.
They did that before coming back.
"One of you dispel.", I said.
Alpha saluted before dispelling in a puff of smoke. For a moment, I thought I messed up, but I then realised that since both of them could dispel, it didn't really matter who did. I got a memory of him going into the other room before telling Beta this: "We should either try to get Sakura nicer and with Naruto, or get Naruto to go for someone else, preferably Hinata.". I also got a memory of him thinking this: 'To test if clones can get memories, I will think this. Just to make it clearer, if Beta gets this, say the number 18.'
Great. To the facts that I got the memory, the clone tested something else and because what the clone said is really smart. Whoever thought of them ideas must be a genius.
"Beta. Tell me what Alpha told you.", I said, turning to him.
"He told me about how we should ship Naruto.", Beta answered.
"Did you get his memories?", I asked.
"I don't think so."
"Do you remember any numbers he thought of?"
"No."
"You can dispel yourself now."
I got Beta's memories too. The memory function makes sense. I only get the memories of the clones, the other clones don't get them memories. Now what about 2nd generation clones? I checked my CP, it was at 331150. I wouldn't be able to get a clone to make a 2nd generation clone yet. I'll be able to do it when I regen to over 500,000 CP, which will take about 7 and a half minutes. I decided to go to sleep.
