AN: Sorry about the short break that i took rereading something is my one weakness also i got a review. I was trying to convey that Naruto was slightly jealous of Sasuke then thats just you. Skin color doesn't really matter in this story Kizame is blue, the rakage is brown even when he lives on a mountain top.
Just a note this story was made using Naruto - Masashi Kishimotos work and multiple versions of the Sims as a base those games belong to either Maxis or electronic arts
AN: I just updated the second half
When Naruto woke up he sleepily walked into his kitchen he began his daily morning routine of rising again. Slowly he went over to his refrigerator and pulled fresh milk and fished out a bowl of cereal. He couldn't say this enough times but the milk had tasted much better than he ever had in the village.
He was sat down in his kitchen table allready enjoying the serene environment that his room managed to make. Once he finally remembered what he was doing yesterday night he retreved his paper and and a writing utensil in the other hand. Looking over his choice for an aspersion he grimaced every so often as he went over the list. He crossed out aspersions that would conflict with him personally and those he didn't want or think were that useful at the moment. Staring down at the edited list he pondered which would the most useful to have.
His edited list consisted of nine choices a coincidence since he always liked the number nine. Each aspersion made him do objectives called milestones he wouldn't be interested or comfortable doing normally. Since the system had already shown that it could do crazy things to his apartment. Also because it was apart of the system he wanted to believe that each new milestone he earned was worth the aspirations reward.
First on the list of aspersions was an aspersion called Friend of the world it would gave him the reward trait Beloved apparently everyone remembers a beloved sim and their relationships will never fade over time. "Wait relationships fade over time, system tell me about relationships" Naruto said. "Relationships can fade over time if not stimulated" said the system. He felt inclined to take this one but he could guess this reward was only for those who had too many friends or couldn't see them often.
Freelance botanist gave him the naturalist trait, Naruto read that naturalists dont need to fear fire since it won't hurt them, they can also extinguish fire with ease. "This is a great perk" thought Naruto. Imagine what people would say when he could just walk through fire jutsu, the milestone challenges sounded like they were easy and he was already thinking about getting it.
The Serial Romantic aspersion would grant him the player trait. Players never cause other people to get jealous, no matter what they do. Naruto thought about the aspersion reward "No one would ever get jealous wasn't something super important but it was a better reward trait then the rest of the aspersions he'd had already crossed out" thought Naruto. The other aspersion rewards would have made him a better parent or better at being cruel towards others something he really didn't have an interest in becoming yet and something he really didn't want to try. He knew what a player was but he didn't know how doing so would stop all jealousy.
Renaissance sim gave a trait called professorial, professorial sims can write helpful manuals about any skill they're well versed in. "Maybe he could become the next professor of ninja if he gotten this one teaching others how to garden and write" Naruto joked.
Master chef gave him the fresh chef trait, fresh chefs always make the highest quality food, It was interesting how food would never spoil no matter how long it was left out or left behind he could also keep it in his inventory for later but he wasn't in need of this perk currently.
The Public Enemy aspersion gave him the reward trait Master Mind, apparently masterminds know the right things to say to cause anger sadness and jealousy in their opponents. "This pick was only good if he ever wanted to taunt someone in a fight making them loose their cool or spill information.
The Body Builder aspersion would let him live a longer life if he never got into an accident while helpful he felt like later on in his life when he would become Hokage this perk would help him stay in his youth.
The talents/perks he could purchase from the talent shop in theory could eliminate the need for him to shower, eat, socialise, sleep or to actually need to go to the bathroom. Which would not only boost the amount in hours of training time he can put in but also the amount of time getting his skills in shape. The thing was he needed points and the only way to get enough points for talents was to complete aspersions or his moodlets.
He had chosen the aspersion Freelance Botanist since making new friends had always been hard for him to do. In reality he only had three sort of friends the Hokage, Iruka, and Ino. There was also the reason that it was the only trait that gave him anything worthwhile while doing anyway. The aspersion system gave him a list of things to complete and he would rewarded for every step completed with points.
List
Plant something three times
Weed or water plants ten times
Achieve a level four gardening skill
Evolve five different plants
Achieve a level six gardening skill
Graft onto three plants
Fertilize five plants
Achieve a level ten gardening skill
Grow a cowplant
Evolve ten excellent plants
Reward trait naturalist: sims that are naturalist dont need to fear fire. It wont touch them, and they can extinguish it with ease.
Each objective was a Milestone and he needed to complete all Milestones before he could receive the reward. Looking at the list Naruto could already tell he needed to reach a level ten gardening skill before he could complete this aspersion. He noticed he could complete the aspersion faster by focusing on the harder Milestones. By fertilizing his plants and evolving ten excellent plants. He already had four plants in one planter box growing by the window in his home. Still he needed six more plants growing in order to complete and have ten excellent plants.
Not wanting anymore of the basic starter plants from the Sim System, Naruto took out cold hard cash from his savings in order to pay for something. He took out his cute little Gama-chan from his bedroom closet. The cute little frog wallet was only stuffed with the money Konohagakure would usually send him weekly. Poor little Gema-chan was practically deflated since the last time he received funds defeated Naruto stuffed what was left of Gema-chan in his inventory weakly.
"Detecting foreign currency user can now deposit exchange and extract foreign currency with Simoleons" said the System
Well that's great he no longer needed to wait for village sponsored payments to arrive to buy anything anymore. That was what Naruto thought now that he could actually visit a flower shop within the village without becoming bankrupted. Allready heading outside he started walking towards the clan compound side of the village. Although it did take a while of searching he found an area where villagers would come to buy flowers.
He felt like he could grow and experiment with things outside the sim system. There were just so many applications that he could use his skills for, things like cooking could become better if he practiced more often. Things had been more so perfect than they been in a ling time located within the boundaries of the village. Flowerpots had started showing up more all the same in this area flowers just hung around balconies and in potted pots all showing unique colors and moving with the wind.
Look at all the colors spoke Naruto while he was entering the shop. "The shop was called Yamanaka Flower's Shop which was strange since Ino was also a Yamanaka" he thought. When he walked inside he found his blonde sfriend sitting behindthe countertop "Hey Ino do you work here?" asked a Naruto suprised at seeing his friend from academy behind the counter in her off time. "Of course i do im the clan's princess silly, so are you here to buy something or not" asked an already irate Ino. Wait what your a clan heir?" asked a suprised Naruto. "Of course I am" ino shouted.
Surprisingly the conversation went on alot longer before they breached the subject on flowers. "Poisonous, Medicinal, Herbal, Traditional" said Ino going through a list of what he could be asking for. "Expensive and also something i can start growing" Naruto told Ino. "Also have you ever heard of a cowplant?" Asked Naruto. "A cowplant?" asked a confused Ino. System how do i grow a cowplant
"Grafting a Dragonfruit plant with a Snapdragon plant will produce a Cowplant Berry" Said the System being helpful as ever.
"Who are you talking to?" asked Ino bringing up his purchases. "No one, nothing just checking out my voice" said Naruto just laughing it off. Ino was reading his body language but didn't mention it. "Will there be anything else?" She said patiently already totaling up his purchases.
The shop was very cold but had a nice smell plants were all kept in cold water to stop most withering and easy access. "Can i have some exotic plants something like a snapdragon and a dragonfruit" asked a nervous Naruto. Ino thought about it for a moment and asked "what's a dragonfruit?". She knew what snapdragons were and they weren't particularly exotic but she never heard of a dragonfruit before today. He didn't exactly answer her directly since it was most likely the plant didn't exist natively or not. "If you haven't then thats fine i will still take the snapdragons though" said Naruto.
She was suspicious of his behavior since he walked inside she started narrowing her eyes cause she knew how to tell his body language. She was going to get her answers eventually whether he liked it or not. Adding additional snapdragon seeds to his purchases she asked again "will that be everything?".
He breathed a sigh of relief when he exited the shop Ino was terrifying when she wanted to be already her line of questioning made his hair on the back of his neck stand on edge.
Going home
He walked out of the shop and stored his purchases inside of his inventory. Naruto took off towards his house thinking about his conversation with Ino. It was when he returned that he realized how close he had been to spilling his secret. While in deep he started planting and watering his newly acquired seeds. Generously watering them all he sat and admired his old but flourishing garden. Retreaving the complete collection of gardening skill book volumes he began to read through them while in the presence of his garden. Once he opened one alot of information started passing through his eyes about gardening. These books were thicker than his arm and chalk full of information about plants.
Naruto read until he was already ready to fall asleep, he had plenty of tea and snacks throughout the day while reading and now a late dinner. Ramen wasn't the healthiest but the side toppings like meat, eggs, and onions had been his only nutrition when he was younger. When he was finished eating he brushed his teeth and took a shower to fall asleep. In his nightgown he put on his nightcap and thought long and hard about what he did today. Tomorrow he would need to go to his academy in order to become a ninja.
"Time to wake up Naruto" someone spoke in a sing song voice within his dream. He opened his eyes to the view of three woman in his bed a blond a noirette and pink haired girl were all in his bed and pressing on him.
He woke up sweaty and stiffer then a brick. He went into the shower he began to imagine what that dream was about. Wiping himself off he made a healthy breakfast of eggs and sausages with milk and toast. Taking a deep breathes in and out he stood up and checked on his indoor plants. Once he noticed that his plants needed water and a weed removal he beganthe painless procedure to remove them all. He had finished and decided to give his plants a motivational speech to grow stronger.
Allright listen up you plants you are all working to grow up into excellent plants, you will be fed by me and taken care of by me now any questions" asked Naruto. The plants just sat there not prompting any response. He noticed that he spent alot of time caring for the plants before his classes started spending time running toward ninja academy so he wouldn't arrive late.
Naruto's time in the academy went well he went through physical exercises well enough and his classroom lessons seemed centered around village principles and laws. He spent most of his lunch studying trees that were around the buildings. Talking to and studying plant life contributed some to his gardening level but wasn't as reliable as book reading. He just seemed to understand what a plant really needed now more naturally than long ago when he wasn't as active as a gardener. It must have been the system's written book's all making up for his lack of experience.
When he was finished he went home to eat, sleep, and read to his hearts content. This would go on for two or so weeks more before finally reaching the maximum level with the gardening skill. He found a new appreciation for gardeners everywhere now never getting confused if ever when looking at a new type of plant that sprouted out around the village.
Ino definitely noticed Naruto's change of attitude it seemed like only a few days ago she was giving him tips on basic watering and watching for things like bugs. Now he was giving her tips on what environments plants would have a nice time in instead. She definitely already knew that but some how he was steadily outclassing her. "His skill has already grown by leaps and bounds enough to beat her in a contest of knowledge" said a confused Ino. She eyed him like a hawk most days waiting and watching for any new change. Today she was going to confront him and see how his garden was turning out.
Naruto had ditched regular shinobi schooling that had to deal with math or writing since he knew he had a logic, writing, and science skills to make up for that eventually. It just seemed like his skills were barely growing with those lessons that were taught in his academy. He spent a long time just sitting down on a large tree to pass the time most of the day. The wind would just blow at the correct moment on a not even hot day.
He had finally grafted enough random plants together to make a plant sprout Dragonfruits he plucked the Dragonfruits from the plant and planted them into a new spot's in order to have a proper Dragonfruit plants growing. It had taken him a while to figure out what grafting was though suddenly now he definitely could finish the Milestone for his aspersion.
It took a while for the plants to naturally start growing again he graphed apart of the snapdragons onto the dragon fruit plants and watched them. Eventually start producing cowplant seeds. Given that they looked like their namesakes, cowplant seeds had a strange white color with black spots. Plucking them all he started storing them inside his inventory to begin planting later.
Ino was walking up the stairs leading up into Naruto's apartment. She knocked on his door waiting for him to answer the door and her questions. Naruto who was gardening was surprized someone was knocking on his door. Peering through the peephole he saw Ino and opened the door for her. "Hi Ino what brings you here" Naruto said slightly nervous on why she was here. "I came to see your garden" Ino said smirking now that she came at the correct time to catch something interesting happen.
Opening the door for her Naruto didn't mind showing her his garden. When she entered inside she was quickly surprised at how well maintained his garden had been, she already trusted Naruto's well maintained garden and once she began smelling his rose flowers she started becoming more happy with how good everything smelled.
She found the dragon fruit trees she was curious about but asks "are those the dragonfruits you had been asking about in her shop" Ino asked with a smerk on her face. "Yeah" he answered looking like he was finally admitting they existed. "How did he even find them" she thought, they are edible, right" she asked Naruto. "Yeah, they have a sweet flavor as far as i could tell" Naruto answered. She plucked the ripest looking fruit and tasted it. They were juicy and sweet to her tastebuds and she was in love with the new flavor. Who knew that there were such fruits that weren't native to their area of all things.
"I know that this plant doesn't grow anywhere within the elemental nations" said Ino finally finished from that new experience. "What i want to know is how you were able to get the new fruits?" Ino demanded. "I cultivated them by meshing together different types of fruit trees in order to create a new seed" Naruto answered.
She was gobsmacked impressed by Naruto's explanation for the plant. "I'm sorry im not really the expert with this sort of thing, i need a second opinion do you mind if i invite my father over he's much better with plants than i am at the moment" Ino asked. "Sure i dont mind" answered Naruto not really seeing the harm in inviting Inos father over. Pulling out her phone she said "Dad im here at a boys house" said Ino to her father over the phone giving him Naruto's address. "Wait why'd you phrase it like that" asked Naruto. "Wait right there princess I'll be there in ten no five minutes" said Inochi already making his way over. There had been a knock on Naruto's apartment door within three minutes of Ino calling her father. When Naruto opened the door he didn't expect to see Inos father with a menacing face. That was so until he caught sight of Ino "Hi daddy" she said while hugging him. "So what's all this about" asked a confused Inochi"
Nobody who didn't know what they were doing couldn't have grown such fine specimens for plant's and this was Inochi talking while using his enhanced ninja senses to admire Naruto's work.
Now that i do see it im curious as how you went about getting it asked a curious Inochi. "I cultivated them by meshing together different types of fruit trees in order to create a new seed" Naruto answered.
"That's amazing, I would like to see the process of how you grew this from a seedling" asked Inochi "that would be amazing" Ino said. "How long did it take for your plants to turn out this good" Inochi asked. It actually took a few weeks of hard work before they started producing fruit this good" answered Naruto.
Once Inochi tried a fruit for himself he froze this was now his new favorite food. " I would like to offer to buy this from you exclusivity Naruto" Inochi asked. After a while of prompting from the Yamanaka clan head Naruto and Inochi made a deal involving the new fruit. The Yamanakas were already in the business of producing and cultivating plants for eating that was the reason why they were such great friends with the Akimichi clan who were well known for their cooking and meat production skills.
Allready he was willing to cultivate and sell them locally in the Land of Fire and in exchange they would foot the marketing costs. All in all only really skilled producer's or florist's would be able to make use of Naruto's research to grow the most delicious tasting of the fruity food. He would need to contact with the Hokage though before anything would actually fall through.
Huruzen Sarutobi was Naruto's guardian and had seen him grow up to the fine young adult he was today. There had been times when he was a young lad that Huruzen would take young Naruto to get his meal. Naruto always perfered Ichiraku ramen for eating and the Hokage helped him indulge in that addiction all true Uzumaki's have with that food.
That was why it came as a surprise that Inochi Yamanaka himself came by and inquired about the boy and his previous tallent for gardening. Given he showed no true talent for the skill before he said what he believed to be true "none".
Huruzen and Inochi were both ninja they were well versed in their specialized careers. "Apparently he had come by when my daughter was working and bought some plants from our shop to grow within his home. He then proceeded to splice them in random orders in order to grow this" said Inochi while placing a dragonfruit on the table. Huruzen never thought about Naruto before in that light, Naruto who never had even an inkling of anything besides Ramen and pranks had had enough skill to grow a hybrid plant. It has been a while since he last visited the youth who knows what he's been up to these days so it was within the relm of possibility he could have had some intrest with plants.
Inochi had asked for Huruzens permission to offer a contract with Naruto. Apparently Naruto had shown off enough skill to impress someone like Inochi whose clan practically revolved themselves around plants. Wanted to form a contract with the young man that revolved around these fruits. Huruzen really needed to have a talk with Naruto about his new hobby but otherwise couldn't actually dent what was going to happen.
"Naruto wasn't one to really care for plants before though that was probably from lack of trying" thought Huruzen. They went over explaining how Naruto was able to create new strains using plants he found or purchased around the village. If Huruzen didn't know any better he would've found this entire thing a some sort of elaborate joke. Naruto had been under the villages umbrella of protection for to long now that it was incredible that he would soon be well off on his own two feet. Naruto was already the legal age to be on his own and the only thing that was supporting him financially was the village.
It wasn't that Naruto wasn't rich from his mother's and father's passed on wills. They were kept secret sealed off and far away from him because of the notoriety that he would have received if anyone knew Naruto was withdrawing from either of those two accounts. His parents had alot of enemies and Naruto wasn't ready to fight any of them yet. So new money was good no one would suspect new money coming in to support him. He literally had no reason to stop Naruto from forming this contract except as a somewhat guardian and a Hokage. Naruto had long since been able to take care of himself he had grown up to be a fine young man. Since he was still going through the academy under shinobi laws he would still be under their umbrella. He would hate to see what would happen if the civilian council ever managed to influence his finances. He would need to warn him not to mess up on graduating.
Huruzen was right there with them before he started paperwork that would make Naruto a independent yet still under his jurisdiction. Before work truly began he started by trying the samples given to him, inochi, and Ino. The fruit was sweet and when ripe felt like a treat. He already knew that people would find the fruit alone to be a nice treat happen chance they would find one.
He is amazed by the amount of work it must have taken to properly care for a Dragon fruit plant now that Naruto his go to process and showing them in what conditions they grew well in. The product wasn't going to come close to anything Naruto could have produced but they were still going to make a killing from the sales. Naruto gave them an instruction on how to properly care for those plants. "They needed plenty of attention throughout the day and had very specific conditions before they would yield highly delicious fruits" explaned Naruto. Now that he was seeing it he could clearly see how inochi could seek out some of his talent for himself.
"Such a business venture would be a new avenue of revenue into Konoharas coffers" thought Huruzen. Hiruzen already felt relieved that Naruto would soon be able to take care of himself from this new business project. He had never been there for Naruto not at all times the boy had been taking care of him self from a young age. He promised himself that he would be there for Naruto in the coming years.
The Yamanaka clan have long since been a trusted group throughout the history of Konohara. But this entire thing was stinking, like it was going to a really great business venture. He even thought about investing some of his own spender into the venture.
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief at finally arriving home he had a lot to do today and this has been going on for a whole week now. Hokage had given him a few days time off of the academy to go through making a whole new account in his name. Then he needed to go and talk with whoever was managing the bank about the money he was trying to receive. This was sort of an issue since the bank teller didn't like Naruto he went through this process again for the fourth time in a week before the Hokage got involved. Lets just say Naruto was able to fast track through things now once his grandfather figure got involved. He was very stressed about how much he got done in a week his gardening level had long since reached level ten, his skill growth felt somewhat stagnant.
There were a lot of business dealing merchants that the Yamanakas invited apparently people who came were given the fruit as a way of promoting their product. Most everyone was hooked on the fruit and everybody was already thinking how a new fruit would affect the market. The money the merchants invested had allready made him richer overnight. He was even traded two new deeds and they were for an appartment complex and a small farm outside the village walls.
The final proposals were signed off now all he needed was enough time off in order to grow a cowplant to finally complete the aspersion. He didn't want it growing while he was swiching apartments anyway. So instead of planting anything he did the next best thing he started moving into his new apartment. He wanted to be able to maintain his new apartment complex so that was the reason why he moved into one of the rooms.
An entire appartment complex within the village now belonged to him he took his time moving although with the use of storage scrolls and his inventory that process. When he began checking out the apartments he noticed that there were four rooms per building and a total of eight buildings close together. It wasn't taking up a massive piece of the Village because the size of the village actually grew to be four times the original he remembered. Apparently when he clicked on that button to change his age it had also really affected the world size. Things like the Hokage monument also grew and new people showed up within the village that he'd never seen before. He had lived in this village his whole life and new faces were definitely popping up mor often than normal.
His new apartment came with two bathrooms one in the bedroom and one for guests. The dining room was connected to the kitchen. His old apartment was around the size of his new room. he didn't really know why his new room was this huge. The floorboards were made with a dark wood finish and his window balcony overlooked most of the village. His wallpaper was a nice eggshell color and definitely could be changed later on. He took out his TV and most of his furniture from his inventory. He began bringing out stuff like his old bed and wardrobe to decorate inside of his room. Furniture was just stored inside his shopping inventory, mostly things that he didn't want just stayed with the shop. He needed to purchase his own stove and fridge since he left his old kitchen appliances in his old apartment. They belonged to the owner and he was already planning on buying a new ones for his new home anyway. Opening up his shop menu he bought the most expensive fridge and stove he could afford placing them in his kitchen. He could afford them since he had been growing for a while now.
Later he lay on his bed reading through what he could possibly buy with his points he didn't have enough points for something like seldom sleepy, Seldom sleepy and Forever full costed ten thousands points each and they seemed like ones he really wanted to get. He would only receive three thousand to four thousand points per aspersion that meant he needed to complete three aspersions to comfortably buy a expensive perk.
Naruto began to imagine what his life would be like if he never needed to shower or even go to the toilet again. But would it place suspision on him if he was never seen going to the bathroom or seen showering again. It wasn't like he couldn't just fake it and pretend to go sometimes. There were also things like a love potion or charisma booster that lasted an hour that were one time use items and seemed like a huge waste of points.
When he was quietly enjoying his bathroom shower that the faucets and showerhead broke and spilling water everywhere. He became annoyed at the reliably of the stuff around him. Not wanting to replace his shower he decided to try and fix it. He was able to reach half a level in his handiness skill before he was finished fixing it. Since there was still a small mess and garbage on the floor after fixing it he decided to clean the mess and while he was doing so he found a couple of upgrade parts. He decided to figure out what upgrade parts did at a later time. Luckily Naruto was able to finish his shower by the time he needed one.
The world just gave him more options when continuing to cultivate different types of plants but he didn't use those skills he was already making plans for what his next aspersion goal was going to be.
Opening up his windows to allow more sun inside he spotted the massive shinobi village literally aglow with life. The village monument was clearly visible through his new apartment window. Every single head of past Hokage were visible. The shadow of the trees covered the many roads all over the vibrant village. There were many winding points leading up to the top of the mountain It was all very nice to get to see from his window.
Naruto spent as much of his time generally going over his options on what he was going to complete his moodlets. Moodlets have been helpful in figuring out what his system could do for him since he needed to use the system to complete them. They did feel like repeatable quests and rewarded him with a small number of aspersion points. Something about the system was just somehow looking out for his best experience in life he guessed.
He was just lazing around today now that he had time off after finishing everything he needed to do. He spent the rest of the day just settling down now that he was in an entire apartment by himself. Pulling out ramen he cooked it before brushing his teeth and going to bed.
An: I thought it over and came to the conclusion that i would be depriving everyone of great icha icha material if i dont write lemons. Sorry i need a break from this chapter i will update it in the future to make it more smoother but for now i feel like I'm stir crazy from stillness.
Ommake: After Itachi got off the phone with Naruto he was casually just sitting on a rock Kizame walked up to him "Hey Itachi how are you" Kizame said while waving. Looking over Itachis shoulder he noticed him reject another call from Sasuke Uchiha eventually putting him on mute. Ah your little brother finally putting him on silence since the first time he contacted you. Actually hold that thought i got another call. "You bastard you killed my family, when i get my hands on you!" Some random shinobi. After ending the call Kizame got another call from a random unknown number. "Hello who is this?".
