Zerozero disappeared. It was 7:30.
"Oh, geez! I'm gonna be late!" he said, and directed his character out of the building he was in. "I'll check this scroll thing out later…looks pretty useless though." He ran toward the gate to Leaf Village.
Halfway there, he received a message in his chat log.
From (Cherrygirl): Hi, Naruto.
To (Cherrygirl): Sakura? How'd u know my character name?
From (Cherrygirl): I did a character search for "blonde", "orange", "hyper", and "ramen". I figured I'd hit it eventually.
To (Cherrygirl): Ur names no prize either.
From (Avenger): ...we're waiting for you.
To (Avenger): I'm almost there, give me a sec.
From (Avenger): k
He opened his Inventory screen, then moused over the scroll.
Scroll of Secrets
Use – Teaches a Secret Technique
Out of curiosity, he right clicked it.
New Technique –
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique, Ninjutsu, B-Rank)
"Whatever that is…I've got to keep going!" Naruto said, then continued to run, finally seeing the gate in the distance. He ran toward it, and finally met the team.
Avenger has invited you to join a party.
You have joined the party.
Sasuke and Sakura's health bars appeared below Naruto's.
(Party)(Avenger): right. so, we're both level 1, and Naruto's level 2.
(Party)(Cherrygirl): Yep. Anyway, there should be some monsters over here…we can gain some experience levels from them.
(Party)(Avenger): k. everyone set me as your target and put me on auto-follow.
Naruto had no idea how to do that, so he just clicked Sasuke's avatar and pressed random buttons.
You are now following Sasuke.
You are now in the Forest East of Leaf Village
They wandered out into a place with a lot of trees and plants, with various animal life dashing across the path occasionally.
(Party)(Avenger): I see a monster. let me try throwing a kunai.
(Party)(Ramenlover): that's just a hummingbird, dood.

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief and placed his hands back on the keyboard. He rolled his mouse cursor over Destiny's character, revealing that he was level 19. He had long hair, wore body bandages, and had pale clothes.
(Ramenlover): dude, that was uber cool
(Avenger): thanks for saving us.
(Destiny): Oh. It's no problem. Just don't attack Hummingbirds…they're super powerful.
(Cherrygirl): We'll try to remember that next time. Say, any way we can heal up?
(Destiny): Say no more.
Destiny uses Healing Salve on Avenger.
Avenger's health is restored to full.
(Destiny): Well, it was nice meeting you. I'm gonna log off now, but if you need help, just call.
(Party)(Avenger): speaking of calling, I'm going to put you guys on a three way. if your phone rings, it's me.
(Party)(Ramenlover): k
(Party)(Cherrygirl): Right.
Naruto's phone rang before he could say anything else.
"Hello?"
"Hey." Sakura and Sasuke's voices said in tandem.
"…That Destiny guy is kinda cool. He saved us from utter destruction." Sasuke said.
"Yeah. Remember not to kill anymore hummingbirdszzz---"

(Party)(Ramenlover): sorry
(Party)(Ramenlover): battery dead
(Party)(Avenger): well, charge it, idiot
(Party)(Cherrygirl): lol
(Party)(Ramenlover): why did that guy's eyes glow?
(Party)(Cherrygirl): I believe you can become eligible for a special technique depending on what you picked at character creation, and some of them can affect the eyes. Although I don't think anyone of us has one like that.
Avenger's eyes turn red and begin to spin.
(Party)(Avenger): You were saying?
(Party)(Ramenlover): woah! dude! what kind of stuff can you do?
(Party)(Avenger): it increases my chance to dodge attacks, get critical hits, and makes me move faster. it's called Sharingan.
(Party)(Ramenlover): we'll be invulnerable with something like that!
(Party)(Cherrygirl): I don't think so. Look at his chakra.
Sasuke's chakra was at half, and it was still going down fast.
(Party)(Avenger): woah. didn't notice that, hehe.
(Party)(Ramenlover): I think I've got a special skill of my own…
A Ninja has appeared!
(Party)(Cherrygirl): Ninja!
A Ninja hits Cherrygirl for 6 damage.
(Ramenlover): Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!
You use Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.
You use 70/50 required Chakra.
A poofing sound was heard and a ball of smoke appeared by them.
An exact duplicate of Naruto's character appeared.
Well, it wasn't exact. It looked sort of like a sick duck; it was sprawled out across the ground with a flushed expression and blank, glazed over eyes.
(Party)(Ramenlover): …Wut happened? That's only supposed to use 50 Chakra, but it drained all 70!

(Party)(Ramenlover): …Wut happened to my Shadow Clone?
(Party)(Avenger): where'd you learn that anyway?
(Party)(Cherrygirl): Your character is too low level to use a technique like that…you don't have a good enough chakra control. Like…see that pond over there?
(Party)(Ramenlover): got it in a special event
(Party)(Ramenlover): ya
(Party)(Cherrygirl): Kay, watch this.
Sakura's character approached the small body of water near them, and a glint of blue light sprouted from her feet for a moment. She stepped onto the water's surface and began to walk across it. With each step, a message appeared.

(Party)(Ramenlover): You can walk on water?

She jumped out of the lake.
(Party)(Cherrygirl): Right, see that? Walking on water only takes 3 Chakra, but not even my chakra control is good enough to do it perfectly, so I wasted some. You have your Chakra back. Open your character window, right click your feet, hit Focus Chakra, and try walking on water.
(Party)(Ramenlover): k, 1 sec
Naruto directed his character to the lake, followed Sakura's instructions, and took a single step.

Ramenlover has fallen unconscious!
(Party)(Avenger): oh god
(Party)(Cherrylover): Something HAS to be wrong. The manual didn't say much about this, just that some characters are created with better control than others, but every character is created with some sort of gift.
Naruto's screen turned to a greyscale color. His character still had health, so he wasn't dead, but he couldn't move and his character simply lay floating in the water.
Attempting to send a message to his party, he realized that he couldn't do it while unconscious.
Sakura's character came and pushed him to the surface, and about half a minute later his screen returned to normal, and his character stood up again; his chakra slowly came back; the telltale blue bar began to jump up.
(Party)(Avenger): Well, let's keep going. There has to be something for us in this forest.
The team went into the forest and began to train quickly, finding large groups of monsters and gaining levels.
