Hey everyone, back with another chapter. Thanks to everyone who followed, favorited and reviewed. Let's get into the story!


Chapter 2:

.

Dreams. Naruto dreaded going to sleep because of them. A vast majority of the time he would be stuck in a nightmare. Sometimes the only people that had actually cared about him turned on him. Most of the time he dreamed of running from mobs of villagers holding pitchforks and torches.

Every once and awhile Naruto would have a good dream, ones filled with him riding waves of ramen into the sunset. Where the villagers didn't treat him like an outcast but just another kid running around the village.

Most of those left him feeling warm in the chest and provided another source of motivation for the young boy. Just the possibility of it happening brightened up his day.

Although this was the first time he had this 'dream'. It just had to be a dream. First, no one promises him anything and second, the figure that calmed him was a giant shadow. Yeah, not possible.

make all

ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!

make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.

"AHHHHH" Naruto screamed before sitting up grasping his head as it throbbed cutting off the rest of whatever message was popping up.

'What the hell just happened?' Naruto thought trying to remember the random dream he had before waking up. All he remembered was his vision snapped on a black box with a blinking rectangle in the top left corner. All the way on the top were the symbols '1. Bash', other than that it was pretty plain.

Seconds later huge chunks of symbols appeared on the screen and he woke up. The dream wasn't bad… but it wasn't good either. Honestly, it just confused the hell out of the little guy. Shrugging it off his eyes widened after remembering his other dream.

He began to look around the room to find it. Nothing. He was still alone. Putting his head down he got out of bed and made his way to the bathroom.

*Oof*

The sound echoed throughout the small apartment as Naruto fell down on his butt. He closed his eyes and began standing up while rubbing his behind all while wondering what the hell he hit into. It was soft, super soft but also an unyielding wall.

"Ara, Naruto-kun you should really pay attention to where you are going. People might think you are an airhead if you keep that up" a familiar feminine voice was heard making Naruto's head snap up with widened eyes.

There it was. Naruto did the first thing he could think of. He threw himself at the figure and wrapped his arms around it.

"Whoa calm down Naruto-kun, what's gotten into you?" the figure asked although she knew the answer. It scooped the young boy into its arms and basically cradled him like a mother does its baby.

Naruto's face was snuggled deep into the figure making what he said come out as nothing more than a mumble.

Sighing the figure moved to Naruto's bed, sat down before pulling the boy into the same position they were yesterday. After 10 minutes of doing the same massages, it could see Naruto had finally calmed down.

"So Naruto-kun, what happened? Did something hurt you?" it asked rhetorically to get Naruto to open up. It knew personally what happens to someone when they keep a tight lid on their emotions too long. Its how it became what it was after all.

Looking the figure in the eyes, or where its eyes should be because it was just a giant cloak of smoke shaped into a human? with 9 tails.

Naruto began telling her his story that she knew everything about but it was good for the kid to get it out himself. Sometimes he would start getting caught up in his emotions and stop talking to regain himself. The figure used it therapeutic touch to calm him down.

Hours went by like minutes, he started it off with his daily problems. Holes in his clothes, food prices, and living conditions. Then he began to open up sharing his feelings with the figure, what he thinks and his plans for the future.

When he finally finished his throat was basically sore. He closed his eyes just focusing on the figures touch. He felt… light? Like he had cut off a 100-pound vest. It was easier to breathe and his whole body as a whole felt like a feather.

Sitting up Naruto looked the figure in the 'eyes'. "Thank you," he said with gratitude lacing his words. Naruto then bowed… well tried but the figure stopped him.

"My my, such a respectful boy. I don't know why the villagers treat you as they do but I will help you change it!" the figure lied. It knew why but decided against telling him. It was actually surprised by the amount of secret training the sandaime hokage was giving Naruto.

Naruto was exceedingly advanced in reading comprehension, mathematics, and history than anyone his own age. Other skills like etiquette, cooking, and basic first aid are just a few other skills in the boy's arsenal.

'That sly old man! He was preparing Naruto to be his successor!' the figure thought before spacing out thinking about all the information it was given.

Naruto had been trying to get the figures attention for about 5 minutes before he gave up. Finally, Naruto caught its attention and it replied. "Whoops"

Naruto deadpanned at it before heading into the bathroom to get ready. Coming back out he could see the figure making some lunch. Whatever it was it smelt good, excited Naruto made his way to the cupboard and grabbed two sets of utensils and set them up.

When the figure turned around and plated the food Naruto blanched and turned. His worst enemy, VEGETABLES

Even with all the help from the old hokage Naruto refused to eat his veggies. Naruto got up and went to his drawer where his ramen was held. Only to be petrified by a terrifying presence that he felt digging into his back.

Turning around slowly Naruto could see the figure facing his direction. Even though he couldn't see its face he could tell it was smiling sweetly at him like his nee-chan does when he puts his veggies from her ramen on the side.

Knowing better, Naruto made his way back to his seat. "Ahahaha wow! This is great!" Naruto said while shoving all the food down his throat. He was eating to fast and coughed when some food went down the wrong pipe. The figure went over and smacked his back making him spew the food out.

'God damn veggies! Proof that your evil! You almost killed me!' he internally cursed his worst enemy while glaring at them.

Sighing the figure sat down and began eating from its plate at a slower pace than the blonde. "So Naruto, you probably notice the weird thing untouchable panel like things in your vision but you can't touch right?" the figure questioned.

Naruto looked perplexed. "What do you mean?" Naruto questioned back.

"You don't see a red and blue bar on your top left field of vision?" it asked getting a no. "How about a long golden bar on the bottom of it" it inquired getting the same signal.

Hmming to itself, the figure made its way over to Naruto and put its left hand on top of his head.

"Ah, thats it! Sorry Naruto-kun, I just need to tweak this and that… There we go! See you when you wake up!" the figure said cheerfully getting a 'huh' before he passed out. The figure picked him up and put him to bed before wandering to the kitchen to finish eating.

3 hours later…

"Ughhhh" Naruto groaned as he sat up holding his head like he had done earlier that day.

'God, is this going to be a normal thing?' he mentally questioned. 'Look! I'm even starting to see stuff! I'm starting to see a bunch of colored bar-...'

"WHAT IS THIS!" Naruto yelled in shock making the figure float into the room from with a cup of tea in hand. The figure put the tea down on his night table before giggling at th sight of the boy trying to touch the UI.

"Naruto-kun, you can't touch it. That is your UI, a display of your physical wellbeing and other things that I will teach you later. It is the main key to victory" the figure finished in high spirit.

Naruto looked at her confused. "How so?" Naruto questioned.

"Well for one with this you can get stronger. A lot stronger!" the figure finished thinking it would satisfy the boy.

"Why do I need to be strong to get the villagers to like me?" Naruto asked.

"Well tell me Naruto, what is your goal? What is your dreamt?" the figure asked making Naruto go into a thinking pose.

"I guess… I don't really have a goal right now but my dream… is to be the most famous person in the world! I want everyone to know my name! Every ninja, civilian, animal, everyone!" Naruto finished strongly with fire in his eyes.

"And tell me, how are you going to achieve your dream?" it questioned to make him think more.

"I could become hokage?" Naruto half answered and said not really sure if this is what the figure was hitting at.

The figure smiled. "Well, you could but do you really want to be known and sit in an office for 15 hours a day like your jiji?". Naruto shivered as he recalled a time where he visited the old man only to find him as white as a ghost laid under a mountain of papers.

Naruto quickly nodded his head side to side. "Well then, I guarantee this is the fastest way to accomplish your dream". Naruto gave it his full attention signaling it to continue. "Think about it, how many people knew of the yellow flash before they knew how powerful he was? How many people are wary of the Uchiha clan because of their bloodline? Think about it Naruto, everything is about power. If you don't have it ain't nobody gonna care to remember you" it finished lecturing.

Naruto thought for a bit before nodding. "I'll do it, but how is this," he said making a box in front of his eyes with his hands, "going to help me get stronger?".

The figure smirked evilly "Well I thought you would never ask". Naruto shivered and regretted even asking. "Ama Uzumi," the figure said. Naruto turned to look at the figure.

"That's my name, but you can just call me Ama," it said with a smile. Naruto reciprocated.

"Then you can call me Naruto!" he said happily and a little sheepish as he forgot something so important as its name.

Naruto blinked only to find the figure… shrinking? It got smaller and condensed. 'It' was no she was no longer opaque. She stood tall, towering over the young boy at 5'8. Her straight silver hair falling to her waistline and eyes an eerie green that shined brighter than an emerald.

She wore a black and grey kimono that went all the way down to her feet with a green sash tied around her mid section. She also wore black ninja sandals that had a gray wave engraved on the outer sides.

Looking at the younger boys expression she smiled. "This is how," she said as an illuminated, transparent panel popped up in front of the boy's eyes with this description.

Naruto was at a loss. Like legit, had no idea what any of this was. The boy had never played a video game before so give him a break. The now named ama smiled at his facial expression.

"Naruto-kun, say yes," she said getting a confused look from Naruto. Naruto, in turn, question why. "So you can get stronger silly" eliciting another confused look from the blonde.

Sighing she continued "It's kind of hard to explain unless you can experience it and the only way for you to experience it is to say yes". Looking at her suspiciously Naruto shrugged before doing as she said.

"Eh? Ama, what is all this" Naruto asked eliciting her to tell him to say inspect received items. After doing so three panels popped up.

Makeover Box

Description:

Ever hate your eye color? Or want your hair to be brown instead of black? Well, now you can! With this box, you can customize your looks!

This shocked the boy, he had always wanted to get rid of his whiskers. Also, other things bothered him like how round his facial structure was or his blonde hair. His blue eyes… He hated it all because deep down he blamed his looks for why everyone hated him.

Daily Lottery

Description:

Escalators! Escalators! Escalators! Eeellls! Do you think you're lucky? Well, try your luck in our lottery to win some nifty prizes.

Naruto wondered what type of prizes could he potential win.

Brocade Box

Description:

A box containing lots of goods that are given every 5 levels.

Naruto's eyes sparkled at all of them. Not only do these items help him get stronger but they will help with his daily life struggles. Ama couldn't help but laugh.

"So, are you ready to get stronger Naruto-kun?" Ama asked getting the boy the nod enthusiastically. "Good, now before we start I need you to do one thing for me," she said getting another nod from Naruto.

"I need you… TO DIE"

"Eh?" *SPLURT".
