HELLO EVERYONE I AM BACK. I think the reason why I have been so much writing has to be from the fact that I love solo leveling and I'm dealing with some irl problems but I also just love writing BUT WITH THE STORY

"This isn't good. I'm almost out of stamina and my arms and legs are killing me. I don't stand a chance if they have one smart citizen let alone a competent shinobi. I need a plan now!" Thought Naruto as he struggled to get up while grabbing Kuma. He rushed to his room and sat Kuma on his bed. Kuma started to whipper when she felt Naruto's chakra in a state of worry that's when he grabbed his trap making set and rushed to his door. Not two minutes later a trap that would even get the Hokage in a bad spot was set up. Kuma didn't know what was happening. But she saw Naruto grab a scroll and started to seal all of his important belongings. Naruto then rushed back over to Kuma and hugged her close. She couldn't see anything as Naruto had shoved her into his jacket and with one of his arms, protecting her from any harm that might come from that side. But her acute ears heard the shattering of glass and the sound of wind rushing past them. She thought that was all but suddenly a loud explosion was heard.

[Enemies alive - 2. Enemies dead - 8]

Naruto was happy but he knew that there were two more people slowly dying or two shinobi that managed to protect their sleeves from it. And Naruto knew it was the ladder as the sound of a fireball was making its way to him. But he had a plan for something like this. He hurried and grabbed his scroll and pumped a small bit of chakra into it. And his stove popped out taking the brunt of the damage but it didn't fully withstand it like he was hoping to. And the fireball had hit him right in the chest. Standing him to the ground in a heaping mess and broken bones and blood. He pulled out Kuma from his jacket and saw that she was fine with a small bit of her hair a little hotter than what she was used to but overall she was fine. And that made Naruto really happy. But he hurried and put Kuma right under him with his back facing the open air.

[Hp - 15/395. You are in critical health.]

[Secret quest completed - love of a father. Perk gained - Health, defense and damage increases by 50% when someone you see as your child is in danger.]

Naruto didn't read anything nor did he sense that the Hokage was on his way. And so Naruto went full rage mood and rushed his attackers. Naruto started to throw punches left and right when he suddenly found his dagger in the chest of one of his enemies killing them on the spot. That's when Naruto moved back to Kuma just in time to avoid the blade aimed at his heart. But with Naruto avoiding that attack and fighting he was fatigued. He was getting to the point that his vision was starting to falter and his attacks were becoming increasingly violent but very sloppy. And in his haste to protect Kuma and himself he switched his mind off and everything went black.

19 hours later

[Quest completed - eliminate the peopling trying to kill you. Reward - 1. Status recovery; 2. 3 stat points; 3. Bloodlust.]

[New skill - bloodlust - When used on a strong enemy, they will be put into a state of fear and will lower all stats by 50%]

[leveled up.] [leveled up.] [leveled up.]

This is what Naruto had woken up to, as his vision was filled with blue box's and he thinks after he blacked out his mind unconsciously choose the bloodlust skills but he had also leveled up three times and so he was going check his stats and put a bunch of points into things. When he suddenly remembered that he was protecting Kuma and he doesn't remember what happened and he started to freak out when his senses picked up the small sound of light breathing coming from the side of his pillow and he saw Kuma sleeping quietly and it was cute how she was sleeping right next to his head. Naruto didn't want to wake her, so he just sat there petting Kuma softly not doing anything fast enough to wake her. And her slight smile that made her way onto her face made Naruto smile. And Naruto stayed like that for an hour before realizing it was dark outside. He smiled again and picked up Kuma gently and gave her a small kiss on her head before he started to walk out of the hospital. The doctors and nurses didn't stop him as they all hated him and getting him out was better then him staying.

Somewhere in a forest, a small portal opened upand a small hand reached out

fifteen days had passed after Naruto left the hospital and was no where to be seen. But people around the village and even some Shinobi started to hear inhuman voices and a laugh of a demon in the forest of death. Even the fences had large beasts clawing at it while trying to escape from something but they all ways failed as something for the dark would pull them back into the forest. Except for one. It was a large fox that would walk to the fence and just stare out, like it was waiting for someone or something, but after thirty minutes of waiting it would walk back into the forest while two tails would swing back and forth. Also people would hear that demon yell out Kuma sometimes and the giant fox would suddenly turned an run to where the voice was at. People still didn't know who that demon was and people didn't want to find out as the fear of getting killed by a fox or any animal would deter people from entering. If anyone stayed past nine they could have seen a 5'9 blonde hair kid with a very tone body walking around the forest. This kid would be later known as The Shadows Of the Forest but for now this kid would still be known as the demon lurking behind the trees.

"Damn, it might be time I go back to the village. There's nothing here that can hurt me anymore. But I did get a divine key so that's cool. OH I need to check my stats. Then after that I'm gonna see what this divine key is all about."

[Str - 70, Vit - 62, Agl - 91, Int - 87, Sen - 99]

"okay well I really expected my stats to be a bit higher as I have spent all most a month here but let's go check out this key." Naruto said to him self before walking to a graveyard he made for all the animals that have been hunted and killed by him. He did skin and bake their meat but he did have respect to put the animals souls to rest. So he buried the bones and after put some fruit on the graves and with that he started to walk out of his hut that he had made.

Naruto had walked away from his hut just in time an ogre came crashing down on his home. That scared the living shit out of Naruto as there was suddenly a loud noise. But when he turned around and saw his hut in small bits and pieces, and a huge green thing on top of it made he very sad and he expressed that. "Oh come on, I worked hard on that house just for you to up and destroyed, fuck you but you're lucky, I had to go back to the village anyways." And with that Naruto started to walk away before a quest had appeared in front of his eyes.

[A dungeon break! - If player Naruto Uzumaki declines the quest, the heart of Naruto Uzumaki stops]

Naruto just looked dumbfounded, what the hell was a dungeon break! And when did the system change slightly. But Naruto just signed and turned back around, popping his neck and hands. And with that, he pulled out his dagger and rushed forward.
