Hey, Frost here! This is chapter two of Virtual Reality Naruto, and I think it's one of my better written chapters. Be sure to tell me what you think down below! Now something a few people asked me that I think I really should have made clearer in the last chapter. Did Naruto win the game, and why didn't he get more out of it?
Well, to be honest, no, he didn't win. You see, each time Naruto starts a game, he starts with the ending 'Choose your own', and from there his choices result in the ending that he gets. In this case, the ending he got was the betrayal ending, meaning that no, he didn't win. In addition, while not clear last chapter, he does actually gain quite a bit. He is capable of gaining just about any bloodline, and he will get stronger quite a bit faster. I probably should have made that a bit clearer before-hand, but, meh. Anyway, on with the story!
*Edit* Thanks to a review, I split up a couple of paragraphs, thanks again.
Chapter 2: First Dungeon
It had been a full week since Naruto had started the game, and today he was going to start at the academy. Naruto was going to make sure that he failed until he was in the class he was last time. However, this time he wasn't going to go after Sakura, instead Naruto resolved to befriend Hinata, and possibly some of the others as well. But no Sasuke, and no Sakura, and he was going to make sure he was not on a team with them.
6 months later
Naruto had forgotten how much he hated the academy. The teachers all hated him, Iruka wasn't even at the academy yet. Half the lessons he was kicked out of the class, or else ignored when he had a question. The class disliked him as well, and so he had taken to pranks once more, it was actually great training. He had actually leveled up to level four, and was nearly at level five. Currently Naruto was practicing with throwing Shuriken. Thunk-thunk-thunk-whoosh-clang! Three of the five Shurikin he threw hit the target, although not very well. One missed, whizzing into the dirt behind the target. And one of them, actually hit his second Shuriken, bouncing off and falling to the ground. In the corner of his HUD Naruto noticed a small message, "+15 exp. Level Up." He blinked in surprise, before thinking, 'pause.' A moment later he was in the stat book ready to add up his new points.

A couple of clicks later, his stats had increased. He had decided that, for now at least, he would only cash his points in whenever he got to a level that was a multiple of five.

He had also gained two Trait Tokens. In addition he had found that he now had discovered three new skills.
Kenjutsu
Ranged Weapons
Shuriken Throwing Level 5: Can hit a stationary target 70% of the time from five feet away. Mutation unlocks at Level 40 and 60.
Kunai Throwing Level 4: Can hit a stationary target 50% of the time from five feet away. Mutation unlocks at Level 30.
Stealth Level 2: Can sneak past an unaware child civilian 40% of the time. Mutation unlocks at Level 20, 40, and 70.
It was interesting, because Shuriken Throwing and Kunai Throwing were both learned in the academy, however Stealth was something that he was teaching himself with pranks. He had also found a total of three dungeons in the area he had explored, one was a Spider Dungeon with the common enemies being levels 3-6. The second was a Snake Sannin Dungeon, and it's common enemies were levels 20-25! And the third was a Plant Dungeon, with the common enemies being levels 12-15. He had decided that he wanted to be at least two levels above the highest level common enemy before he entered a dungeon. That meant that he needed to be at least three levels higher than he currently was. And he still had a year and a half before he would be in the class he wanted.
6 months later
Naruto stood in front of the entrance to the Spider Dungeon. It was approximately midnight, and he was finally going to attack the first dungeon. The entrance was the basement door to the house next to his apartment building. The house had been abandoned before he lived here. In the past six months he had gotten a bit more experience, and was a bit better at fighting as well. He had also gained several new skills, including a few that he didn't think mattered much in combat.

He had also gained one Token and four more Trait Tokens, giving him a total of two Tokens and eleven Trait Tokens. Right now Naruto was about to enter the Spider Dungeon, whose common enemies levels were between level 3-6. The dungeon had three floors, and the third floor had a boss, which was supposed to be level 10, so Naruto thought he would be just fine. Naruto gave a small grin and opened the door. Instantly he had been transported somewhere else. A message popped up in the corner of his HUD.
Welcome to your first dungeon. While in a dungeon, unless otherwise stated, time does not pass in the outside world. A dungeon is in a pocket dimension, meaning that it is outside the flow of time. Remember, it is not necessary to kill all the enemies on the floor before moving to the next floor. However there are only four ways to exit a dungeon. Leaving through the entrance, selecting return in the pause menu, using an item or technique to escape, or defeating the boss. Some dungeons have a mini boss halfway through, pay attention to them, as they always have a clue about the dungeon boss.
Naruto grinned, that was even better! He looked around and saw that he appeared to be in a small cave, one that had foundations of buildings imbedded in the ceiling. There were also a lot of cobwebs. As he began to explore the dungeon he would occasionally hear a scuttling sound. Eventually he came across an enemy. Spider Worker, likes to swarm enemies. Still not much of a threat. Level 3. It was about one foot wide, and half a foot tall. It was covered in brown hair and had eight black eyes and two small fangs. Naruto grabbed one of his Kunai and rammed it through the foot wide spider's head, killing it. He frowned, noticing that he only got 5 experience from that. He also noticed that it dropped a single Spool of Spider Silk. He grabbed that, and stored it in his inventory.
Ten minutes later he found himself annoyed, the Spider Workers were not very dangerous, but they would not stop coming! In the past ten minutes he had killed thirty of the things! And he'd only gotten 150 exp. from it, along with maybe twenty more Spools of Spider Silk. And then a pale white spider with eight blue eyes and two small fangs appeared in front of him. It was about the same size as the Spider Workers. Moon Widow, sticky webs equals sticky situations. Level 4. It started scuttling around, and everywhere it walked it laid down sticky spider silk. Naruto growled, in addition there was also a group of five Spider Workers attacking, and they went through the webs with no problem! Using the Academy Taijutsu and his Kunai Combat skills his quickly dispatched the Spider Workers and bisected the Moon Widow. Level Up. Naruto grinned, even if they didn't give him very much exp. he was still gaining quite a lot. And that Moon Widow dropped five more Spools of Spider Silk and 20 exp. Five minutes later he'd found the stairs to the second floor, only it was guarded by two Moon Widows and twenty Spider Workers. Three minutes later they were all dead, and he had a butt load of Spools of Spider Silk. Level Up. Naruto grinned and decided to take a small break before continuing. He checked his stats and quickly cashed in his Stat Points.

And then Naruto cashed in ten Trait Tokens to unlock the Street Smarts Intelligence Trait. This would give him extra exp. while fighting or doing physical training, such as Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, or Ninjutsu. After a twenty minute break, his stamina and health had completely recovered, and he proceeded down the stairs. What he found was a small chamber, with two tunnels going off of it. Naruto groaned, a maze was not going to be fun. After ten minutes of going down random tunnels, killing another ten more Spider Workers, Naruto came into a larger chamber. In it were four Moon Widows, six Spider Workers, and two new things. The first was a black and green mottled spider, about three feet wide and two tall. It had tiny pincers, and eight purple eyes. Web Spitter, watch out for razor sharp webs. Level 6. There were two Web Spitters. The other new enemy was a white pod with an opening on the top. Spider Spawner, spawns workers. Level 4. There were two of them, and as he watched each one spat out a single Spider Worker. Naruto frowned before throwing five Shuriken at each of the Web Spitters. Two hit one, four hit the other. The second one died, but the first one retaliated by spitting out a web at him. Naruto twisted, barely dodging it, and charged. He stabbed two Spider Workers, sliced open a third and then bisected a Moon Widow, before getting stuck in a web and throwing his Kunai at the Web Spitter, killing it. Throwing another group of five Shuriken at the Moon Widow trapping him he killed it, then crushed a Spider Spawner with a powerful kick. Now he had two Moon Widows, one Spider Spawner, and seven more Spider Workers. With a sigh he got to work, and two minutes later he had killed them all. Plus another two Spider Workers that were spawned. Level Up. Twenty five minutes later, and nearly a dozen traps, along with a Web Spitter, two Spider Spawners, and seven Spider Workers, he had reached the stairs. Once more he went to his stats.

After a twenty minute break he was back to full health and stamina. So he climbed down the stairs once more. This time he was in a small cave, which had a wooden door taking up one wall. He also had two Spider Spawners and two of a new enemy. It was a three foot wide, two foot tall purple haired spider. It had eight glowing green eyes, and two large fangs. Poison Pinchers, poison fangs can ruin your day. Level 5. Naruto gulped and threw five Shuriken at one of the Poison Pinchers, four hit. It collapsed, six legs cut off, but not dead. Naruto immediately had to dodge as the other Poison Pincher lunged at him. Naruto helped it along with a powerful kick, before throwing a Kunai at the downed Poison Pincher. Then he crushed a Spider Worker, cut a second Spider worker in two, and then plunged his Kunai directly into the remaining Poison Pincher's head, killing it. In the next three minutes Naruto destroyed the two Spider Spawners, along with four more Spider Workers. He got 170 Exp from it, which resulted in a Level Up. He also got ten Spools of Spider Silk, one Poison Flask, and two Insect Jaws. He managed to not take a single hit, and waited only three minutes for his stamina to replenish.

Done increasing his attack, Naruto opened the door and entered the boss chamber. Now he was in a large cavern, it had several large rock pillars connecting the ground and the ceiling. The ceiling was shrouded in shadows, and there were webs all over the place. At the far end was a locked wooden chest. But there was no boss. Naruto walked out into the center of the chamber, and stopped, listening for the boss. Suddenly he leaped backwards, pushing himself into a back handspring and landing crouched, a Kunai in each hand. Where he'd been standing moments before was undoubtedly the boss. It was a spider, just like everything else in the dungeon. It had bristly black hair, with a red hourglass on the underside of the abdomen. It's black eyes glistened with hunger and cruelty. It had a large pair of black fangs. The spider was six feet tall and twelve feet wide. It had dropped from the ceiling down onto where he had been standing. Boss: Aracnica the Spider Queen. Level 10. 70/70 Health. 380/380 Chakra. Naruto gulped, that was a big spider, and it was definitely stronger than anything he'd fought before.
It screeched, and shook itself, throwing five Spider Workers off its body. Then, it charged. Naruto jumped, landing a kick on its head and pushing off, rolling along the ground. As he stood up he stabbed a pair of Spider Workers, killing them. He glanced at Aracnica's health and saw, Boss: 59/70 Health. 330/380 Chakra. Naruto: 225/225 Health. 75/90 Stamina. 10714/10714 Chakra. 'Well at least I can do some damage to her.' Aracnica had turned and screeched, before charging once more, at the same time the three remaining Spider Workers charged as well. Naruto dodged to one side, killing a Spider Worker with a slash of his Kunai. Unfortunately he got clipped by one of Aracnica's legs, and was thrown to the ground. Instantly she was looming over him, ready to bite. He rolled to the side as her fangs came down, biting into the rock. He punched one of her joints, sticking his Kunai into it and cutting off one of her legs. Aracnica screamed in pain. Boss: 45/70 Health. 330/380 Chakra. Naruto: 202/225 Health. 60/90 Stamina. 10714/10714 Chakra. He groaned, "Better not let that thing hit me."
And then it went over to the nearest pillar and began climbing up, until it was totally invisible against the shadowed ceiling. The final two Spider workers jumped at Naruto, and he ducked under them then slashed at their undersides, killing them. Then WHAM! He was knocked down by Aracnica, who proceeded to bite him, before jumping back. Boss: 45/70 Health. 295/380 Chakra. Naruto: 156/225 Health. 65/90 Stamina. 10714/10714 Chakra. Naruto climbed painfully back to his feet, and glared at Aracnica. The spider shook herself, shaking free five more Spider Workers. Naruto charged, dropping into a slide and then doing a handstand underneath the boss, slamming both feet into the giant spider. He flipped over, crushing one spider worker, then threw his Kunai at two others. One of them missed but the other nailed its target, killing it.
Naruto darted towards Aracnica, who was trying to right herself, taking out a third Kunai and delivered a slashing uppercut to her face. Boss: 20/70 Health. 250/380 Chakra. Naruto: 156/225 Health. 50/90 Stamina. 10714/10714 Chakra. Naruto grinned, and took out a second Kunai, stabbing two leaping Spider Workers, then punching the third, before turning and throwing both Kunai at Aracnica. Once more, only one hit as the Spider Queen scuttled to the side. He charged, and so did she, he slide under her, and drove a foot directly into Aracnica's thorax. The spider flew a few feet back and collapsed, dead. Boss: 0/70 Health. 0/380 Chakra. Naruto: 156/225 Health. 40/90 Stamina. 10714/10714 Chakra.
Naruto was tired, now that the adrenaline was wearing off. Wearily he climbed back to his feet and checked over the loot that he got from the fight. He got 12 Spools of Spider Silk and 50 Exp. from the Spider Workers. And he got 17 Spools of Spider Silk, 3 Poison Flasks, 2 Insect Jaws, 1 Spider Summoning Staff, 5,000 ryo, and 200 Exp. from Aracnica the Spider Queen. He got pretty close to leveling up from that fight. Naruto stored all the items in his inventory, before approaching the chest. When he reached it he found that it was now unlocked. He quickly opened it and found that the Common Loot, wasn't all that great. Inside was a single scroll, a small pink gem, three spider egg sacs, and a bronze dagger in the shape of a spider's mandibles. He had gotten a Wire Techniques Scroll Lv1, a Lesser Soul Gem(uncharged), three Spider Eggs, and a Bronze Spider Dagger(ATK +2). Not that great, but hey, it wasn't a bad start either. After storing it all inside his inventory he began heading towards the exit, only to get sidetracked by a feminine voice.
"Help! Please! Whoever you are! Help me!" Naruto followed the voice over to a small alcove in the wall that had been covered over in spider web.
"Hello? Who's there?" He asked.
"My name's Alia! I fell down into this place and hid in here so that big spider couldn't get to me. But she covered the hole in webbing and sealed me in. That was two days ago. Please, cut me free." The voice requested.
Naruto smiled, "Just a second then." He took out a Kunai and swiftly sawed through the spider silk. Once it was gone he reached in and pulled out a red fox, a vixen by the sound of her voice. "There you go!"
The vixen smiled at Naruto, "Thanks! If you hadn't come by I'd be a goner for sure."
Naruto smiled, "No problem. But I have to ask, how can you speak? I don't know of any kind of animal that can."
The vixen seemed to pout, "What, so just 'cause I'm not a human I can't talk? That's mean! I'm a red fox yeah, but I could also be a ninken I'll have you know. I learned how to talk years ago, right around the time I first learned to manipulate chakra."
Naruto grinned, "That's so cool! So do you want to be a ninken?"
"Yeah! But nobody seems to want me. The only ninken used around here are dogs, and they're together as a clan. So they won't accept me. And no one else seems to want a ninken." Alia seemed depressed.
"Well you can be my partner! I'm a ninja in training!" Naruto said with a grin. "Although I'm going to be dungeon diving to get stronger, so you'll have to fight things like the spiders here."
Alia shivered, then yipped happily, "Alright! You can count on me!"
Naruto grinned, then frowned, "Um, I'm gonna have to ask how to register you as my partner. 'Cause I've got no clue." He shrugged, "Ah well, let's worry about that later! I'm tired, so let's go to my home!" Alia cheered and jumped onto his shoulder, and he exited the Dungeon.
So yeah, thats that, Naruto now has a partner like Kiba. Also, first boss battle! Leave a comment and tell me how you think it compares to other fight scenes. I'll be honest, I actually based the spiders in the dungeon off the spiders you have to fight in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures, only they are quite a bit more dangerous. Anyway, that's all folks, Frost out!
