Hey everyone, Frost here with the third chapter of Virtual Reality Naruto. This is the last prewritten chapter of this story, and I don't know when I'll finish writing the fourth chapter. Now then, I'd like to apologize about how long it took to get this up...I sorta forgot about it for a while and only just remembered that this chapter was completed. Yeah, my bad. In other news, I don't own Naruto.
Chapter 3: Alia and the Quest
The next day, after the academy had let out for the day, found Naruto hurrying up to the Hokage's office. Normally an academy student would ask their teacher questions, not the Hokage. Naruto however, knew that there was no way he would get a correct answer from any of the academy teachers. Therefore, he was going to ask one of the few people he knew would give him a correct answer and probably wouldn't mind him asking. He approached the Hokage's secretary, who smiled at him, and asked, "Hey Ema. Is Hokage-Jiji available?"
The pretty black haired secretary smiled, "Go on in Naruto. He's just got paperwork. I'm sure he'll appreciate the break."
"Thanks Ema!" Naruto grinned as he opened the door. "Hey Old Man!"
The Hokage looked up and smiled in relief. "Ah Naruto! Good afternoon. What can I do for you?"
"I had a question for you, and it has to do with becoming a ninja." Naruto started.
"I can't train you if that's what you're asking." The Hokage warned.
Naruto shook his head, "Naw, I think I'm doing pretty well, maybe. I still can't do a Bunshin. No I was wondering, how do you register a Ninken?"
The Hokage's eyes bulged. "Wait a moment, back up there. What did you ask?"
"How do you register a Ninken?" Naruto asked, tilting his head. "What's the matter?"
"That's what I thought you said." The Hokage rubbed his head, "I'm assuming you already have an animal in mind?"
Naruto nodded, "Yep! Her name's Alia and she's a red fox."
"And why do you want to register her as your Ninken?" The Hokage asked.
"Well it's actually something she wanted. She said that she could use chakra as well." Naruto told him sheepishly.
The Hokage blinked, "Alright then. Let's go and meet Alia shall we? I think I need to see her for myself."
Naruto ginned, "She's in my apartment! Come on!"
About ten minutes later the Hokage and Naruto were in his apartment. Naruto yelled, "Alia! I'm back!"
A couple moments later a red fox walked out of the bedroom. "Naruto! Your apartment is filthy! Seriously! You need to clean up some of your junk!"
Naruto scratched the back of his head nervously, "Hehe, sorry Alia. I'll clean it up. Promise!"
"Good." She turned to the Hokage, "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't notice we had a guest. Hi I'm Alia!"
The Hokage smiled, "Well well. It is nice to meet you Alia-san. I am Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 3rd Hokage. I'm glad Naruto has a new friend. He said you wanted to be a Ninken?"
Alia looked up with sparkling eyes, "You'll let me be one? Really?"
Sarutobi smiled, "Of course. I just need to conduct a small test. Naruto, if you'll pick up Alia, I'm going to Sunshin us to the nearest training grounds." Alia leaped up, landing in Naruto's arms. A moment later they were gone in a swirl of leaves.
Once at the training grounds Sarutobi said, "Alright then. I'm going to be testing both of you. I need to see if you Naruto are where you should be for having been in the academy for a year. And I need to see what Alia knows already. Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, Genjutsu, and then Ninjutsu. So what do you know?"
Naruto thought for a moment, "I know some of the Academy Style Taijutsu."
Sarutobi nodded, "Attack me with what you know. I need to see where you stand." Naruto nodded, then charged, throwing a punch. "+20 exp. 65/90 Stamina." After a couple of minutes Sarutobi said "Enough. Kenjutsu next."
"I have decent Kunai and Shuriken throwing, and am working on Senbon throwing. I also am decent at Kunai Combat."
"Throw ten of each, I want to see how good you are." Sarutobi ordered.
"Um I only have 8 Standard Kunai, 6 Standard Shuriken, and 10 Standard Senbon." Naruto said sheepishly.
Sarutobi sighed "Start with Senbon, I'll lend you some of my Kunai and Shuriken."
Naruto nodded, and threw his ten Senbon. He was seven feet from the target and hit it three times. However none of them hit a vital spot. Then taking the Shuriken and backing up a bit, he threw them. Seven of the Shuriken hit. Only two actually hit a vital spot. Next he threw the Kunai, he got five to hit. Three of them hit vital points though. "+75 exp. 75/90 Stamina. Level Up."
Sarutobi nodded, "Genjutsu. Let's see what you know."
Naruto nodded. He closed his eyes, made a hand seal, and concentrated. Ten minutes later he shouted, "Henge!" He transformed into a perfect copy of the Hokage. "That's the only Genjutsu I know. The Bunshin just fails when I try it." "+10 exp. 10688/10714 Chakra."
Sarutobi nodded, "Very well, Alia?"
She shook her head. "Sorry, I haven't learned any Genjutsu yet."
Sarutobi nodded, "Very well, your Ninjutsu then."
Naruto nodded, "I can do Kawarimi, but it takes twenty minutes to prepare. I also know the Dry Clothes Jutsu, but that takes ten minutes to prepare."
Alia grinned, "I know two Ninjutsu, both of which are fire element. It takes me five minutes to do them, and they aren't particularly strong." A few minutes later she said, "Ember!" And spat out three small fire balls, which put scorch marks on a target. Next was, "Flame Pellet!" Which sent out ten tiny fire balls, which exploded all over the target. "+30 exp. 799/1714 Chakra." Afterwards she was panting slightly.
Sarutobi nodded, "Alright. In Taijutsu, Naruto, you are below what I'd expect from an academy student. The Academy Style doesn't seem to fit you very well. Alia, I have a Style that we might be able to adapt to you. It will probably help Naruto to. In Kenjutsu, Naruto, you are about average in both Kunai and Shuriken throwing, and good job working on an extra weapon. Alia, I don't really know of any Kenjutsu you'd be able to make use of. In Genjutsu, Naruto you need a lot more practice. You should be able to do the Henge in at a maximum one minute. I have a couple scrolls that might help you both there. As for the Bunshin problem, you have above average Chakra, so perhaps I might have something that will help you. In Ninjutsu, once more, both of you need to practice and get the time down, but overall, good job. It will take a week to get her registered, so just come by my office in a week to get her picture taken for her ID."
"Thanks Jiji!" Naruto exclaimed. "I'm going to stay here and keep practicing!"
Alia nodded, "me too!"
One year later
Naruto had had a very eventful year. After gaining Alia as a Ninken Partner, he ended up telling her his entire story. She recommended that he tell the Hokage the story as well, since the Old Man really deserved an explanation. After doing that, he got permission to purposely fail one more time, which he did. Now he was in the class he wanted, and he had actually made a few friends this time around. Hinata, Kiba, and Akumara. He had also leveled up a few more times, and had even gone to fight a second dungeon, a Slime Dungeon. He had leveled up several times, as had Alia. He'd even found out that it was possible to give others the ability to see their stats, see dungeons, and use the HUD and Inventory. The Hokage and Alia found this useful. Alia had also leveled up a few times.

Naruto was no longer the back of the class, as Iruka Umino was now his academy teacher. Although he was still not very high up in the class, but he was now higher up then Kiba and Shikamaru. He was currently in the Hokage's office, tomorrow was graduation day. Naruto saluted, "You summoned me Hokage-sama?"
Hiruzen nodded, "Hai. Naruto, from what you have told me, Mizuki is very suspicious. I have decided to give you a field promotion to Gennin. I have an A-rank mission for you."
Naruto nodded, "Thank you Hokage-sama. What is my mission?"
"You are to fail the graduation exam, do not reveal anything above your current level. You are to provide a target for Mizuki to approach. You are to find out what he wants and report to me. You will receive further instructions after reporting, do you understand?" The Hokage asked.
"Hai Hokage-sama," Naruto replied. Then he smiled, "Thanks Jiji!"
The Hokage smiled, "Of course Naruto. You deserve it. Oh, and here. Don't put this on until after this mission." He handed Naruto a Hitai-ate.
Naruto nodded, "Right! See ya Jiji." After leaving he got a pop up on his HUD. "Quest Updated. Graduation Exam. Fail the academy final exam and provide a target for suspected traitor Mizuki. Report back on what he wants to the Hokage. Quest Reward: 200 Exp, 20 Standard Kunai, 30,000 ryo." Naruto smirked thinking, 'This time Mizuki, this time it will be different.'
The next day Naruto was determined. He knew exactly how to fail the test, he was still incapable of using a Bunshin. When it came time to begin the test Naruto quickly completed the the writing portion, after having removed the Genjutsu from the test. Alia informed him which questions he should purposely fail. Then it was time to get tested on ninjutsu. When Mizuki called him back and asked for a Bunshin, which failed. Due to that, Mizuki had to automatically fail Naruto. After school Mizuki found Naruto pretending to mope about having failed. "Hey Naruto, I'm sorry I had to fail you."
"It's okay Mizuki-Sensei. I just wish I could finally pass." Naruto said glumly.
"Well, although it's not well known, there is a makeup test." Mizuki suggested.
"Really? What is it?" Naruto asked energetically.
"If a student can steal the forbidden scroll of seals they will be able to get a pass, although they will be counted as the lowest score in the class. But you can't tell anyone, it's meant to be an exam of your individual skills, which means you'll have to leave your ninken behind." Mizuki told him.
"Alright! Where do I take it once I've got it?" Naruto asked.
"Just take it to training ground 19. Once there, you have one hour to learn one technique from the scroll, if you do you pass. But if you don't. You will fail. Understood?"
"Hai Mizuki-sensei!" Naruto confirmed. Once Mizuki had walked out of hearing range Naruto muttered, "I understand what you want, traitor."
Ten minutes later Naruto and Alia stood in front of the Hokage, four Jonin, and a team of Gennin. Naruto took out his Hitai-ate and tied it on, Alia already had the leaf swirl on her bandana. Naruto saluted, "Gennin Naruto Uzumaki reporting back as ordered Hokage-sama."
Sarutobi nodded, "That was far quicker than I expected Naruto. Give me your report."
"I failed the academy test easily, as ordered sir. Mizuki told me to do a Bunshin, my control still won't allow me to dilute my chakra enough to do so. About twenty minutes after the academy let out the suspected traitor Mizuki informed me of a hidden makeup test. The rules were to tell no one, I could not bring my partner, and that it would be counted as the lowest score. The task he set was to steal the Forbidden Scroll of Seals, take it to Training Ground 19, and learn a technique from it in one hour. I suspect he will show up at the training ground in about five hours, not believing it would be very easy for me to steal it." Naruto reported.
While the others in the room stared at Naruto in surprise, the Hokage nodded, "Just as suspected. Very foolish Mizuki. Naruto! Your new orders are to sneak in and take the decoy scroll I will prepare. You have one hour to do so. You may read the scroll and learn anything that is on the scroll. You will meet the traitor and once he arrives you are to stall him until your back up arrives. You will need to leave Alia with me, she will join you as part of your back up on this one."
"Hai Hokage-sama! I'll come back in about an hour shall I?" He nodded, "Alright Alia! Have fun!" "Quest Updated. Graduation Exam. Steal the decoy scroll and learn all the techniques from it. Stall Mizuki until your back up arrives. Quest Reward: 200 Exp, 20 Standard Kunai, 30,000 ryo."
After Naruto left one of the Jonin, a man with gravity defying silver hair and only one fourth of his face visible turned to the Hokage and blankly asked, "Hokage-sama? What just happened?"
The Hokage smiled, "You just saw someone who could potentially be more powerful than the Fourth report on their first mission."
A man chewing on an unlit cigarette asked, "Pops? Was that Naruto? How is he a Gennin already? The exam was today and he said he failed it!"
"I gave him a field promotion last night. That's also when I gave him a mission to investigate the academy teacher Mizuki, I had a suspicion that he was a traitor. It appears I was right." The Hokage responded.
Alia piped up, "Um Hokage-sama? There was something Naruto was going to ask but seems to have forgotten."
"Yes? What is it Alia?" The Hokage asked.
"Well two things really. First off, who is his backup?" Alia asked.
"Might Gai and his team, along with Kurenai Yuhi here will be his backup. You shall be accompanying them." The Hokage responded.
Alia nodded, "Right, um the other thing is about team placements. I know its traditional to pair the highest boy and girl with the lowest student, but Naruto would like to request something different."
"Doesn't feel like he can trust Sasuke-kun and Sakura-chan?" The Hokage asked, chuckling. "Don't worry. I won't waste Naruto's potential like that."
Alia nodded, "He will be relieved to hear that. So you five want to go get dinner while we wait for Naruto to get the ball going?"
Neji scoffed, "Why would we want to eat with an animal? Ouch!"
Tenten slapped Neji on the back of the head, "Because said animal asked politely. Do you have a place in mind Alia-san?"
Alia seemed to smile, "I know a place. It's called the Fox's Den, the owner is a retired Shinobi, great place with great food."
"Yosh! Lead the way Alia-san! This place sounds most youthful!" Rock Lee yelled.
As Alia, Kurenai, Gai, and Team Nine left Kakashi asked, "so what team will Naruto be on?"
"I have decided to craft what may be the most powerful team in Konoha's history. It will be a bit odd, but I believe they will be able to work past it to become the best."
So yeah, chapter three is done, and I'm actually working on chapter four of Naruto of the Disaster for the next couple of days. I'm hoping to get that out soon, so if you like Naruto you should go over there and read it. Anyway, I want to answer a question a few people have asked, 'why can't Naruto use Shadow Clones and Rasengan?' Because game logic. He hasn't learned them from a scroll or been taught them, therefore despite technically knowing how the game won't let him. Don't worry, he'll get them eventually. Anyway, that's all for this chapter, so don't forget to leave a review and hope you liked it. Frost out.
