Note: Thank you for my 1 review and the person that messaged me a review so I have two technically and that makes me very happy. Here's the next chapter can't promise that I will keep updating this quickly but for now I have lots of inspiration. Let me know if you have ideas or suggests for the story I always welcome fresh input.

Not much happened during her 2nd year. Father was making an effort to be home more. They would often have family dinners together now, which made Fumio happy, but seemed to put their mother on edge for some reason. Fluffy enjoyed spending time with her father he had attempted to read to her a few times and been suitable impressed on how fast she had picked up reading. He had also given her, her first math lessons when he found that she could already count.

Honestly she had been reading really well for several months and even doing basic math for a good while before her birthday when she got a strange notification.

Fumiko had yet to hear or read the word 'Perk' , but deciding it must be interesting she reached up and taped 'Remember my words' suddenly all her words changed and she seemed to be looking at a kind of blue screen with writing on it.

Well that's disappointing. She already knew how to read and do math. She didn't need to cheat to get better at it. Still if the Reading Perk meant that she would remember her favorite books word for word that might be kind of fun. Hesitantly she put her 1 point into reading and then frowned at the percentages. 5,15,35, and 50. Why those numbers? It should have been more even, 10,20,30, and 40 or 5,10,15,20 or well anything else. Fumiko frowned she didn't like the person that picked the numbers not one bit.

After placing her point she was brought back to her knew stats.

Deciding to keep her numbers paired up she attempted to put her point into Str and strangely failed. This wasn't fair at all. She angrily continued to jab at the Str button, after a while her stat page finally decided to explain itself something it had never done before.

Civilian children under age ten are not capable of increasing their Strength Stat over 10

Shinobi children that have not started the Academy are not capable of increasing their Strength Stat over 10

'But, But…I want too." She muttered outload now very unhappy. This was stupid and mean and she didn't know who to be mad at because she didn't know why the words were there in the first place. Well it could be worse at least she now knew what Str stood for. That wouldn't help her much though what if everything just stopped working and she couldn't feel the wonderful feeling or the numbers increasing anymore? She liked that feeling.

"Mom? What age can I start 'The Academy'" Unlike most attempts to get her mother's attention this question actually made her mom stop reading the papers she was looking at focus completely on Fumiko.

"You want to be a ninja Fumiko?" Her mom asked her clearly startled.

Fumiko didn't know much about this ninja business, but if it got her to increase her numbers faster she was all for it. 10 years old was way too long to wait.

"I want to go to the Academy. When can I go?" Her mother looked very uncomfortable.

"Well I don't think your father would approve, but it does seem a waste to live in Konoha and not have one of the kids learn. I never got the opportunity and we might as well see if you have the talent for it." Her mom mostly seemed to be talking to herself, but finally refocused on Fumiko.

"A few years at least, I'll have to ask. Don't say anything to your father yet, I'll handle that."

"Ok, thanks mom." It was rare for her mom to go out of her way to help Fumiko with anything so this just Fumiko all the more determined to go to the academy. Now she just needed to find out what ninja actually did beside recuse princess in her story books. Fumiko had a feeling that she would get tired of rescuing and marrying princesses after a while.

After going through every book in the house and becoming completely disgruntled Fumiko pounced on her brother as soon as he walked through the door.

"I'm hom-ack!" Her brothers bag went flying he landed on the floor hard

"Big Brother!" Fumiko greeted her bother cheerfully.

"Hey Fluffy-chan what's with the flying tackle?" Fluffy-chan was surprising heavy for a small 3 year old.

"I need more books!" She demanded from atop his stomach.

"Is that so? Well I guess we could go to the library, but you have to ask mom."

"Ok!" She jumped off him and dashed to go find their mother.

'Where does she get all that energy?' The 7 year old wondered. He had just put his bag down when Fluffy-chan grabbed his arm almost painfully.

"Momma said yes! Can we go now please?" Her big blue eyes seemed to stare into his soul.

"Yes! Yes no puppy dog eyes!"

"I don't have eyes like a puppy!"

"Yes you do!"

"No I don't!"

The two finally exited the house giving their poor mother some peace and quiet.

"Hmm a ninja." Akimi considered the matter carefully and then twisted her lips into something of a smile.

"Yes, that just might work."

Perks will eventually be very powerful and useful,but she has to meet certain requirements for the best ones and others she has to slowly build up.

Skills can be gained though skill books or though completing certain actions. Fluffy will be alerted whenever she learns a new skill and when her skills level up, but she won't be able to tell how much she needs in order to gain a level in a skill because without the tutorial she doesn't know how to access that. As she gets older she will slowly began to understand her gamer power more. One day she might even get lucky and say 'Menu', but that's a far off dream at the moment.
