Rise of The Gamer Uzumaki

Chapter 2: Meeting The Hyugas

'Shit, I'm dead. If I don't use my EXP I will die. Two levels should do it. Hey Game, could you automatically place two levels worth of EXP, I don't want to let my guard down around this bastard.'

DONE

'Thanks,' And immediately Naruto felt the effects take place, his growing stronger, and faster, and having more HP was an amazing bonus.

Name: Naruto Uzumaki

Rank: Civilian

Level 3 (0/1500)

HP=8600

CP=9000

Naruto was checking over his new stats. 'Good, now I can give the beast a decent challenge, he still outmatches me, but I should be able to outlast him. Hopefully. He has the upper hand in strength and speed, even if barely, and a clear gap in dexterity damn it, this will be a problem.'

He got his two kunai in his hands, flung one directly at the squirrel, and immediately rushed towards it, hoping that it would be slightly distracted, enough for Naruto to land a couple of blows onto its head or back. But it was not to be, the squirrel buried the kunai handle deep into the ground with one swipe of his paw. The squirrel stomped it for good measure, fully burying the weapon making Naruto regret throwing it.

Naruto somersaulted over the squirrel a great feat considering his child body even with the increased dexterity, making over the squirrel and deftly lodged the kunai into the middle of the back, in mid-air rotating over for a better angle.

Dungeon Boss hp was reduced by 239.8

Dungeon Boss= 5760.2

While Naruto had intended to hit the base where the tail was connected, he figured the squirrel's speed would have moved it out of the way faster than Naruto could've reacted, so with the decent opportunity in his face, he took it and even still the squirrel was already moving out of Naruto's reach, just after Naruto stabbed it.

The squirrel grunted in pain, its flexible tail attempting to dislodge the kunai but to no avail, Naruto rushed forward willing to take it down with his bare hands if need be. The squirrel readied itself, ignoring the pain in its back, it leaned down, one paw slightly raised, the other firmly gripping the ground, its tail ramrod straight.

But it was all a ploy, Naruto changed direction and leapt forward as the squirrel using its superior dexterity chased after him, his finger looping around the handle of the kunai, and pulled it out just in time for the squirrel's greater speed to catch up to him, push him down, its claws finding a grip on Naruto's shoulder.

Naruto had no other option, his arms were forced down, and his legs furiously kicking at the squirrel had little effect on it, reducing 50hp with each connecting hit, though it would be more, considering how short the distance is between them, it made sense. Naruto gathered some saliva in his mouth and spit it out on the squirrel's right eye, blinding it enough for it to let go of Naruto's arm, conveniently the one that Naruto had his kunai in.

Naruto frantically stabbed the kunai into the squirrel's eye and went for the second, but the squirrel's instantaneous reaction, slammed its body into Naruto throwing him back, rolling a couple of times before he face-planted straight into the bark. Naruto shakily got up and saw that a notification appeared that said he managed to land a critical.

Dungeon Boss' hp was reduced by 755.37

Dungeon Boss =5004.83

While for him, he received a dazed status, reducing his physical stats by 15% for 1 minute, and he received 276hp damage.

Naruto fortunately still had the kunai in his hand and was readying himself to throw it since the squirrel was still running back and forth, the pain in its eyes only making it angry, its rage is what tipped it over the edge to use Augment.

In a blink of an eye, the squirrel was in front of him, sideswiped him into the nearest tree, which was just behind him, and the onslaught continued, his body lay bare, with no protection to cover his wounded self, he lay in the fetal position his head being covered by his arms, his abdomen being covered by his knees.

-287.5hp

And it didn't stop, Naruto couldn't take it anymore, he was losing consciousness, and wished for some miracle to occur, something to help save him, he didn't want to die, he had just gotten this amazing gift and he didn't want to lose it so soon.

This defiance slowly built in him, rising with every second, his body a dam just waiting to let the floodgates go, and he did, his body moulded his chakra for him, condensing it into a ball of chakra in the pits of his body, and in one burst he let it all go.

Chakra flooded his body and released itself in the form of chains, chains that went Bloody Mary on the squirrel, ripping apart its limbs, dissecting it, gouging its remaining eye, tearing its body into tiny pieces, and then finally stopped when the body dissolved into particles of light and dust, and even then the chains still flailed around wildly as if protecting its master. It continued until Naruto's chakra reserves emptied, and Naruto lost consciousness altogether.

...

Naruto woke up in his bed, feeling oddly relaxed and satisfied, he felt no pain, and though he was naked, he faintly remembered that his clothes had been in tatters before entering the Dungeon Boss fight, and he probably ended the fight naked.

Naruto got up with a groan, blinking away his sleep, he noticed that it was still the same morning since his alarm clock read the same date he had entered the dungeon, though there was a difference of an hour or two, that could be chalked up to him losing consciousness in the Dungeon and it simply kicked him out after he was done, and the time gap was because he was healing his wounds and recovering the lost chakra.

Congratulation! You have unlocked a special ability.

Chakra Chains.

Rewards

6250 EXP

Daily Quests, as the name implies, are always given daily and are a way to help you grow stronger. The objectives will become harder each week, so the rewards are more plentiful. So good day and happy grinding.

'Well that's interesting, daily quests, though I don't know why I am surprised anyways, if there are regular quests for dungeons and odd quests that pop up from time to time, it should be obvious that something like this would happen. But what are these resistance seals, it's probably just something to help me grow stronger?'

'Most of my stats are now in the Genin levels with only my chakra and vitality just shy of reaching Chunin levels, while only a few are of Civilian Level. Now, I'm not even scared of going back into the dungeon, I have more than enough margin between me and those squirrels, and the Dungeon Boss I'll be more prepared for, so it's all good.'

'But the Hidden Dungeon Boss, being twice the level of the normal Dungeon Boss, I'll die as soon as we begin the fight, so I'll get stronger, and hopefully, all my stats reach Chunin level soon, and then I'll be confident enough to even consider this Hidden Dungeon Boss.'

'Hmm, these resistance seals, what are they, Game, any info?'

Resistance Seals

Resistance Seals are specially made seals designed to strengthen the human body by placing pressure or as it is called resistance on the body, forcing the muscles to tear down and grow stronger each time. There are a total of ten levels to conquer before the seals grow useless to you, as you would have reaped 100% benefit from the seals.

Item Received

Resistance Seals (Rare)

Each Level increases the growth rate of physical stats by 100%, only up to a certain point.

Level 1 up to 50

Level 2 up to 75

Level 3 up to 100

Level 4 up to 125

Level 5 up to 150

Level 6 up to 175

Level 7 up to 200

Level 8 up to 225

Level 9 up to 250

Level 10 up to 300

'L-level 10 up to 300, are you kidding me right now, where do I equip this, I need these immediately. Probably be in inventory, right?'

Do you wish to equip resistance seals? Yes/No?

'Of course, it's a yes, I have to get stronger, and at any cost necessary. But do I want to get stronger so quickly, wouldn't it just take away the fun of being a Shinobi, and being so strong that I wouldn't even interact with anyone else? I'll just equip it for today, and tomorrow, but I'll remove them later, for when I need them."

The pressure Naruto felt was unbelievable, he couldn't move and he was just barely standing up, his face scrunched up in concentration, his muscles straining against the force, he noticed that the seals were in the form of sweatbands on his wrists and the same for his ankles.

He slowly took a step forward, his muscles rebelling against the order, and the next, and another, until he was kind of walking normally but a visible strain was seen on his face. He walked around in circles stretching his limbs and rubbing his body down to relieve himself of his pain.

Naruto with great effort wore his clothes, a simple vest, upon that a black and red hoodie with the Uzumaki Crest on the back, and completed it with simple dark blue shorts.

Naruto exited his home, locking it on the way out, though he supposed he didn't need to, he did live in a shinobi village, Naruto roamed the streets seeing blue boxes above their heads, declaring their rank and level, he used 'observe' on every single person he found whether a shinobi or civilian. He noticed that most civilians did not go higher than Level 15 and only a few breached higher. Most Genin stayed between level 20 and 35, while Chunin were greater and roamed around 35 to 50, though he couldn't see the Level of Jonin Level. What irked him was that he couldn't see their stats and abilities since he was a level 3 compared with those he found, and the Game did say, that the higher the level of the target, the higher your level has to be alongside the level of the skill.

After fifteen minutes of endless walking, he found himself in 'Konoha Central Park', where he saw dozens of children with their parents having a hell of a time, Naruto felt a twinge of pain in his heart. Naruto so desperately wanted to make new friends but their parents simply turned him away or took their child away from him, today with how amazing a birthday gift he received, he felt a good feeling in his stomach and decided to give it one last chance.

Quest Received

Create Bonds of Friendship and Love

Objective

1 Make at least two new friends. (0/2)

Optional

1 Make more than two friends. (?)

Rewards

1 1000 Reputation Increased with the new friend.

Optional

1 Another 250 Reputation for every friend you have made.

'Well that's strange, instead of EXP or RYO, my reward will be reputation points interesting. Hey Game, what is reputation.'

Reputation is a value on how high you rank on a social basis, with ranges from Utter Hatred to Utter Loyalty. Reputation points are gained when you please a person by doing some good deed that benefits them and you. In the same way, piss off a person and your reputation with that person will go down.

Entering the park and immediately feeling the glares of the people there, Naruto gave it no mind and went forward, since having all these negative feelings directed at him, was doing wonders for his Killing Intent skill. He went deeper into the park, observing the children around him to see if there were any who would be willing or open to being friends with him. But just as before he saw none, he sat down disappointed on the swings and used his legs to swing himself, and he forced himself to stay for five minutes before he would get up and leave despondent at his lack of success.

Just before he gave up, he felt someone coming towards him, he looked up to see two girls around his age, and how similar they looked he deduced they would be sisters. The one on the right had blue hair cut in a Hime-style, pale eyes with a hint of lavender, a button nose, and pouty lips, and her aura radiated kindness and humility, while her sister had dark brown hair letting it fall to her shoulders, her pale white eyes, a slightly upward nose, and prim lips, the exact opposite of her sister portraying pride and confidence.

"Hello, my name is Hinata Hyuga, and this is my little twin sister Hanabi Hyuga. We both were wondering why you were sitting all alone on the swings and thought that we could come over and cheer you up," Hinata explained.

"As my elder sister explained, we are here to play with you, on orders of our mother who insisted that we be friends with you, while we do not know the reason, I am not one to disobey and so here we are," Hanabi continued bluntly.

On the outside, Naruto was showing the act of being ecstatic, but inside, he was suspicious of the mother who would willingly send her children to him, after being ignored by the populous, he was simply cautious, a trait which is highly valuable and sought out in the Shinobi world.

"Umm hello, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, wanna play tag," Naruto excitedly replied. Naruto then discreetly used 'observe' on them and got the full list with their stats and abilities.

Hanabi was likewise the same, except that she had lower stats since she did not possess the bonus points of being the reincarnation of Hamura. Naruto was also miffed for a point, not the fact that he may have just made new friends, but the fact that since he was the last of the clan, shouldn't he have also received the title of Heir and the bonuses alongside it? He also noticed that they had 0 stat points and that they probably were automatically added where required, like for Hinata, the 10 points were evenly distributed between her strength, speed, stamina, dexterity and wisdom, while for Hanabi, her 10 points were distributed 5 in Chakra and 5 in Vitality.

'Game, you better answer the question once I'm home.'

They played tag and other games for a few hours, with Naruto holding himself back, greatly to not spoil the fun he was having, and with all this sweat he was building up helped him more to get used to the seals, and when they ended an hour later since both girls were tired, Naruto only felt just as energetic as ever.

Hinata insisted on introducing him to her mother, and while Naruto was hesitant he agreed and walked over with the twins in the direction where her mother was sitting on the benches and a bodyguard a few steps back.

The girls bowed to their mother and introduced him to her, and unlike others, he felt no negative emotions being directed at him, not even from the bodyguard behind her, so he relaxed slightly, which unnoticed by him, made the mother very happy, the mother who introduced herself as Hitomi had invited Naruto over on a playdate at their home, and Naruto was surprised.

"Thank you, Lady Hitomi, but it wouldn't feel right for an orphan like me to be invited over to your honourable clan like yours," Naruto bowed down to end his piece.

"Nonsense, your concern isn't necessary young man, besides I will not take a no for an answer. Tomorrow will be the start of the weekend, so I will send Ko," Hitomi waved at Ko to come closer. "to pick you up from where you live. Is that clear?" Hitomi asked.

"I don't have a choice, do I? Well, I live in Lower Konoha Central, right next to the new Mart that had just opened up. I'll be free all day, so you can send Ko-san anytime you wish, it's not like I have anything better to do."

"Ko will be picking you up at 12, and you will also be having lunch with us, and as I said before you cannot say no."

"Goodbye Lady Hitomi, goodbye Hinata, Hanabi." Naruto bowed down, before walking towards the exit.

Back with the Hyuga's

"Mother, I've never seen you so forceful with somebody, it was as if you knew who he was, to first invite him over for a playdate, and even for lunch, even with family friends you have never insisted so much." Hinata inquired, with Hanabi and Ko listening on, interested in her reply.

"You are right I do know of him, his history, and everything related, but I will not indulge any secrets whatsoever, until either the Hokage is willing to release the contents, so the matter, for now, should all be out of your minds, I do not want to hear any trouble from your part such as searching or asking about, and that includes you as well Ko." The Matriarch's tone was a no-nonsense one, and the three of them did not want to face her wrath.

"We swear on the clan, Mother." Hinata and Hanabi chorused, while Ko bowed her head in acceptance.

...

While Naruto was tired from today's excursion, he still had a Daily Quest to fulfil, so Naruto arrived at a training ground far away from the village populace, with a dark and creepy forest on his left, surrounded by metal gates and spikes on the top the sign reading 'The Forest of Death.' Naruto felt that this was as good as any place to train and so he began, starting with push-ups, and after a couple of hours ending with the 5km run. He had started training at around 5 and ended at 9. And boy was he so tired, to the point that he wasn't sure he would be able to get back home in this state.

Naruto instead laid down on the ground and went through the notifications, he noticed that all of his physical stats had increased tremendously, reaching 35 in all stats except stamina which reached 42. He also counted how much EXP he had stored up, and it all totalled 22500, he was tempted to use all of it and let himself grow exponentially stronger, but he held himself back not wanting to ruin the fun of the good old-fashioned training.

He also had tons of money, receiving 10000RYO every month, from the day he turned four and received an apartment, saving 5000RYO every month, and now receiving 10000RYO from the dungeon, though he would need to restock on weapons.

After resting for a few minutes Naruto forced himself up and returned to his apartment where he changed clothes, showered and was about to sleep when a new notification appeared before him.

You have an unused scroll on you, would you like to use it? Yes/No?

'Unused scroll, when did I get an unused scroll from, I never bought it from the Game store…oh wait yeah, it was a reward for finishing the dungeon, how did I forget about it. But sure let's see what new skill I will gain.'

Naruto tapped yes and felt a rush of information flooding his brain. Parrying, deflecting, using your opponent's weight against them, and much more, Naruto learned the Art of Kenjutsu, but not ordinary Kenjustu, the famed Kenjutsu style that made the techniques of Kumo and Kiri child's play.

Tsunami Style Kenjutsu (Basic)

Level 1(0%)

A Kenjutsu style revolving around overwhelming power, the complete opposite of the Uzumaki's Taijutsu, quickly breaks through an enemy's guard with complete ease and efficiency.

'This is amazing, receiving another piece of my legacy in just a day-…oh now what is it?'

You wished for answers for the lack of an 'Heir' title, and that mistake solely is on us, while we'll update the system to add it back, as compensation in two months, we'll give you an option that none before had ever received, and even then they were adults when they did.

'Hmm, I guess it is acceptable.'

...

The Next Day

Naruto had woken up at dawn, to complete the Daily Quest and to once more attempt the first Dungeon where he had almost died. He stocked on another set of Kunai and even considered buying a Katana but it was too expensive costing nearly 100,000 RYO, which Naruto was far from possessing, so instead would save up from what he receives monthly and what he receives from the Dungeon.

Naruto completed his Daily Quest in the training ground he was in yesterday, and quickly made his way back to enter the dungeon in the safety of his house. Whereas last time, Naruto was fighting for survival now he was fighting for the fun of it. The Dungeon Boss was surprisingly easy, and Naruto still couldn't believe that training for such a little time would result in such strength and power.

Though this time the fight was more entertaining, the Dungeon Boss used 'Augment' from the start, and while Naruto wanted to save his Chakra Chains as a last resort, the Squirrel was moving too fast for his eyes, especially since the damn squirrel's 'Augment' levelled up and the increase in the squirrel's physical stats was now by 20% and not 15%.

While his Chakra Chains helped counter the speed, the Boss called in reinforcements, which meant a platoon of squirrels leaping from the trees surrounding him.

After a few minutes of blood and gore, and repeatedly stabbing the Boss in the butt, it fell dead and defeated, and Naruto only earned another 10000EXP, not more than that since he didn't receive a quest for completing the dungeon this time, maybe each Dungeon had one quest to offer each time.

But soon it was time, Naruto showered, changed into more appropriate clothes, and waited patiently for his guide to come and lead him to the Hyuga compound. In the meantime, he was reviewing the skills which had once again gained a few levels from his time in the Dungeon. His Taijutsu went up to Level 8 giving him a 12% bonus from his previous 9%.

His Shurikenjutsu skill also increased by a few levels reaching Level 10, giving him 10% accuracy, so now one in every ten shots will always hit its mark. His 'Observe' only went up by one, and his other ability 'Killing Intent' went up to Level 9 increasing his range to 21m. In his special abilities, his 'Mind Eyes of Kagura' went up by many levels with Naruto continuously keeping it active for the entirety of the Dungeon, reaching a solid level 10, with its range increasing continuously but a shame it didn't increase the Chakra stat, since his cp/minute regeneration was enough to cover the cost of the Jutsu.

But he failed to notice that when he was having the absolute daylights being beaten out of him during his first time in the dungeon, it increased the levels of both his amazing Uzumaki Regeneration and his Kyubi Regeneration abilities. The former increased to level 5, having 100hp/minute and 100cp/minute, while the latter increased to level 2 increasing the regen rate by 100 each.

The sound of someone knocking at the door broke Naruto's train of thought, he got up from the floor he was sitting on and went to receive the guest, most likely Ko-san.

"Hello there, Naruto-san, I hope you're ready and we can without delay depart for the Hyuga compound." Ko kindly said. Her face showed no emotion yet she radiated kindness.

"Hai, Ko-san, I'm ready." Naruto replied.

"Let us go, shall we." Ko then led Naruto from the small winding roads of the neighbourhood to the wide decorated main streets of Konoha, where Naruto was doing his best to act like a typical child under the scrutiny of instead of few people, any civilians walking the street. Naruto walked closer to Ko and seeing how uncomfortable the people made him, held his hand while they walked, confusing the onlookers who never thought that anyone would show kindness to 'that child'.

And Naruto even more so, never thought that she would show kindness to him, wanting to see if she meant it, Naruto tightened his grip like he feared that she would let go. In return, Ko rubbed Naruto's small hand with her thumb attempting to ease his worries.

Naruto smiled now fully relaxing in her presence, he walked quietly beside her and in a few minutes they arrived at the Hyuga compound where they were let in with little trouble since the guards attending to the gates of the compound were hesitant to let him in, but with just a glare from Ko, and they went back to their positions.

Ko led him through the corridors and opened a sliding door, which Naruto assumed was the entrance to the place where they greeted and received their guests. Ko bowed down, prompting Naruto to do the same, which he complied with. Naruto glanced around the room, looking over the people present in the room; Hinata and Hanabi his new friends, Lady Hitomi, Hinata, and Hanabi's mother, another girl looking slightly older than the twins, and two new males in the group, all of them sitting in the seiza position. Ko excused herself and stepped out to go about her duties.

"Hello Naruto-san. My name is Hiashi Hyuga Leader and Head of the Hyuga clan, and I formally welcome you to the Hyuga compound." Hiashi initiated, with not a change in his expression.

"The honour is all mine, Lord Hyuga, to allow a stranger like me into your home," Naruto replied respectfully.

"Nonsense, if my wife invited you over, then there is some merit in her actions, and I was the one to allow you to come over, so there is no need to worry about such small things," Hiashi assured.

"Let me introduce you to my family, on my right is my brother, the Branch Head of the Hyuga clan, Hizashi, and on his right is my niece, Neji. On my left are Hitomi, my wife, and my two twin daughters, whom you have already met." Hiashi continued.

"Please sit down. And since there is time before lunch is convened and you have arrived at the moment when my daughters and niece begin training for the day, why don't you come and join us, I would like to see if you have had any training whatsoever."

...

They convened in the Hyuga Clans Main Branch's Dojo, where Hinata, Hanabi, and Neji were all in their training uniform and waiting patiently for the signal to begin sparring. Naruto was also given a set, and he found it surprisingly comfortable, he was standing around awkwardly since he didn't know what he was supposed to do.

When Neji stepped aside and motioned Naruto to step away and let the two take the middle ground, Naruto did the same and followed her to the sidelines.

The signal was given and Hinata and Hanabi went first, their forms shaky but that was to be expected, given that it had only been a few days since their training had begun in their clan's Taijutsu. The rules were simple, first to three hits, wins. The fight was closer than you would think, while Hinata had higher stats, it was relatively equal, though, in the end, Hinata won with 3 hits to 1. Both bowed to each other and the audience, and Naruto and Neji stepped up to face each other.

"Before we begin, Naruto do you know any Taijutsu?" Hiashi asked.

"Well, yeah, kind of, I know how to punch, block and counter if that helps. I even have my Chakra unlocked, though that was an accident." Naruto replied before being cut off.

"What do you mean an accident, the only other way of unlocking your chakra is through going under extreme pressure. Naruto-Kun, how did you unlock your chakra?" Hitomi asked concerned for the safety of the child, her maternal instincts rising.

"…I can show you." Here Naruto raises an arm towards the wall and from his palm a glowing red chain flopped on the ground before rising and becoming taut, moving hither and thither before circling Naruto from all sides protecting him. "These chains of mine are pretty cool, I can for now only conjure up to 9, though I haven't tried any more than that, I still think it's cool, I can control the chains but they feel like they have a mind of their own, and their only task is to protect me no matter what, that also makes me glad."

Naruto looked over to see their reactions, the twins and Neji were in awe, mouths open, eyes wide, it was the first time they had seen something so magical, and the adults; Hitomi was beaming with pride and her eyes shimmered with tears, seeing Naruto using the chains reminded her of her best friend Kushina, while Hiashi and Hizashi eyes locked with each other and nodded, they knew what they had to do.

"Naruto, that is an amazing and unique ability possessed only by the Uzumaki clan, but for now, let's continue with the spar, and if you would please retract the chakra chains back, so we may begin." Hiashi offered.

"Of course Lord Hiashi," Naruto replied.

Neji was already in her stance, the left hand raised straight facing Naruto, palm first, the other bent, and lower near the waist, facing behind, the right foot placed a step back, slightly bent, the other a step to the right also slightly bent, while Naruto also took his stance; both hands near his face in a boxer stance, rhythmically bouncing on the sole of his feet, his guard in front of an inexperienced Taijutsu user like Neji was impenetrable but to the watchful eyes of the adults, they had found many mistakes which they would help rectify.

"Hajime!" Unlike his previous opponents, the squirrels, their aggressiveness had always allowed Naruto to stand still and let the squirrels come to him, but now facing off against another person, Naruto couldn't use the same tactic so went on to attack.

Quest Received

A friendly spar.

Objective

Defeat Neji in exactly 5 moves.

Rewards

500 EXP

Naruto limited himself so that when he rushed forward he was just barely seen by Neji, giving him barely enough time to react, giving her a quick one-two to get rid of her guard, of which Neji blocked 1, '3 moves', Naruto sweeps his leg to get Neji off-balance, '4 moves', for Neji to jump, and Naruto having the perfect opportunity, balanced on one hand and vertically kicked Neji while she was still in the air, the hit landing on the chin. '5 moves and the quest completed.'

The hit may have been too much for Neji, for when she landed on her back, she wasn't moving. Naruto feared that he may have gone too far, and rushed to see if Neji was all right, but he was beaten by Hizashi who gathered Neji into his arms, with a smile on his face, a proud smile.

"Ah, forgive me, I didn't mean to hit him so hard in a spar, I just got lost in the fight and believed that Neji-san would've been able to handle it." Naruto profusely apologized directing it towards Hizashi.

"Do not worry little one, this is simply an opportunity for Neji to learn from her mistakes and grow stronger through them. But just as we have seen Neji make mistakes, your form also had holes in them, very visible ones, which can be removed over time and effort, so grow stronger, so when you and Neji have a rematch, it would be one to remember." Hizashi assured Naruto.

Naruto was happy that he wasn't being punished or scolded for being too harsh in a fight and was pleased to know that they were helping him fix the holes in his Taijutsu though he knew they would be automatically corrected if he levelled up his Taijutsu a bit more, but regardless.

"Thank you, Lord Hizashi for your kind words." Naruto bowed out of respect.

"Brother, why don't you take Neji to her room, and have one of the healers check her up, while we start the girls and Naruto's training a bit more," Hiashi commanded.

...

"Now then we still have a little time before lunch, so we'll begin your physical exercises. Ko you will handle it from here, and notify me when you will begin their Taijutsu training. Hitomi you can either stay or accompany me, I have something I need to talk to you about." Hiashi declared. With this Hiashi left the dojo, with Hitomi in tow. Though she was given a choice, it wasn't and Hiashi ordered was ordering her to come with him.

Quest Received

Complete the given training alongside your partners.

Rewards

500 EXP

"Okay then, let's start with some push-ups, all three of you start and do as many as you can, without resting, I'll be keeping score to track where you all are." Ko commenced the training.

Hinata made it up to 15, Hanabi up to 10, and Naruto stopped at 50, though he could have done more, he wanted to keep the façade of someone with just a lot of strength, stamina and better Taijutsu.

"Very good Naruto-Kun. It seems out of the three you have the most physical strength and stamina, Hinata-Sama and Hanabi-Sama have a lot of catching up to do. Now that we completed push-ups, we will continue with sit-ups and then crunches. We will finish it with as many laps as you can manage around the entire compound…now who is up for some healthy competition." Ko remarked.

Hinata and Hanabi were slightly frustrated by their inability to match their friend who soared past what they managed with ease, which gave them the push to do better, to try and do more than they could. With fire in their eyes, Hinata and Hanabi forced themselves to go past their limits.

It was at 12:45 when they started their physical exercises and it was around 2 when they ended, Hinata and Hanabi on the ground, panting deeply, their skin sheeted with sweat, and their hair wet with perspiration. On the other hand, Naruto wasn't even affected and still did more than double what the girls could do combined.

The result of this meant that his resistance seal had already completed its first level and Naruto upped it to two, while he was concerned by how quickly his body was adapting to the seal, in the end, it was better for him since he could grow stronger and fight stronger opponents.

"Now that we have done the physical exercises, I will inform Lord Hiashi and we will continue on Taijutsu with your father overseeing the process until then, rest for a bit and drink some water," Ko informed the trio and exited via the Shoji doors.

"Naruto-Kun, how…is it that you are not even affected by what we have done, someone our age can't have this much stamina and strength, …it simply is unbelievable, …and in that case, you have to tell us your secret behind it," Hanabi asked tiredly, her eyes barely opening to even see Naruto.

"Yes, Naruto-Kun, I insist. Were you born with it or blessed by Kami herself, or even more plausible you are from a clan, which Father mentioned something about; the Uzumaki clan was it? It probably is a clan with great stamina and physical strength." Hinata deduced her words on point.

Naruto sighed, "I don't know myself, I was just born with huge stamina and physical abilities, and maybe I am from a clan but I just don't know yet." 'I can't tell anybody that I know which clan I'm from, and let Lord Hiashi tell me about them himself.' Naruto added in his head, as an afterthought. "And being given the chance to train and grow stronger alongside you, I will give my utmost best to repay the debt I am with the Hyuga clan, by promising to protect you no matter what," Naruto declared, posing in front of the girls, staring at him in awe, a tinge of red on his audience's cheeks.

'…what in the actual Kami is this, a Core Quest.' While maintaining the calm look, Naruto's mind was running in full gear. 'Ok Naruto, calm down first this Core Quest, is likely something important by the sounds of it, more important than the normal quests I'm receiving,'

"Naruto-Kun, are you okay? Your eye started twitching rapidly, do you need any medicine?" A concerned Hinata asked Naruto.

The question, breaking Naruto's train of thought, made him turn towards Hinata and reassure her. "I'm fine Hinata, I apologize if I worried you but don't worry over me, I'll be fine."

The Shoji doors opened, and entered; Hiashi, Hitomi, trailing behind Ko and a now awake Neji.

Hiashi was questioningly staring at the scene before him; his daughters on the ground out of breath, the Jinchuriki in a ridiculous-looking pose, though he chalked it up to childishness, he was still intrigued by what Ko had informed him earlier.

A Few Minutes Earlier

"Lord Hiashi, may I enter?" Ko asked from behind the Shoji doors, her head slightly bowed, her hands behind her back, to convey respect towards her leader.

"You may Ko." Came the short reply of Hiashi. Gaining confirmation, Ko entered, stood deftly in front of Hiashi, and spoke.

"Permission to report, Lord Hiashi?"

"Permission granted, tell me what have you found about Naruto?" Hiashi inquired

"Of course, my Lord. Naruto Uzumaki is a person with extraordinary stamina and physical strength, being able to last twice as long in any exercise compared to Hinata and Hanabi combined. At your request, I discreetly scanned his chakra network to find any discrepancies and found none, the only highlight being his chakra reserves already comparable to a Chunin, or at any rate close to one. But what truly intrigued me were his wristbands and the ones for his ankles, there were some Fuin written on them, but which type of Fuin is not in my knowledge."

"With your permission, I would like to draw the Fuin in a near replication of what I saw, maybe perhaps, that you may find some insight which escapes me." Ko ended her report waiting for further instructions regarding the matter.

"Go on, I wish to see what Fuin Naruto is wearing," Hiashi ordered.

"As you wish, my Lord." Ko complied and went on to grab a piece of paper, a pen, and some ink, using them to imitate to the best of his ability the Fuin on Naruto. But just before finishing it, Hiashi stopped her and informed them that the Fuin was nothing more than bands with resistance seals imbued on them.

"The seals are of no threat to him, and it will only help him later on, so for now just continue observing him, and help him in any way possible, I will be keeping Naruto and my daughters under your protection and guidance, but for now let's return to the Dojo and continue where we had left off."

Present

"Everybody up and ready. We aren't done yet, let's get on to some Taijutsu. Neji, get in line with the rest, we will first begin with the basics of the Gentle Fist, while Naruto will demonstrate the basics of his Taijutsu style since the way you moved isn't just regular brawling, it had proper logic behind it. What is the name of this style anyway?" Ko asked genuinely interested to know if she had ever heard of it before, as she sure hasn't recognized it.

"I don't know the name of the Taijutsu, I found a scroll on my dining table and the Katas on it, but I find it very comfortable and at ease with it, just like Hanabi-Chan and Neji-San are with the Gentle Fist, though I don't like Hinata's, it just that her movements feel more stiff compared to the others," Naruto replied using the other's Taijutsu to justify his.

"I shall look into the name of your Taijutsu, along with what you have said about Hinata."

...

An hour later Hiashi raised his hands to stop the practice and gestured the children forward.

"Neji, your ease and manoeuvrability with the basics of the Gentle Fist is commendable and with time you may surpass even your father." Here Neji bowed and stepped back in line. "Hinata, as Naruto pointed out correctly, the Gentle Fist is currently inhibiting your full potential, and I shall be giving you over to your mother, who will introduce you to her style of Taijutsu which she had created and perfected." Hinata just like Neji before bowed and stepped back in line eager to see what her mother could teach. "Hanabi, you have adequate control over the basics, with only a few minor errors in your form, you need to practice and focus more." Hanabi bowed and Naruto stepped up, to gain insight into a foremost Taijutsu practitioner. "Unfortunately Naruto, having never seen your Taijutsu before, I will be unable to give you any advice, but," Hiashi raised his hand seeing the despondent look of Naruto, "Hitomi who personally knew the user of this Taijutsu will be able to help you in any way she can."

Naruto smiled gratefully in response.

"Okay, but for now, all of you proceed to the bathhouse, clean yourselves and meet us in an hour for lunch, not more than an hour. That should be enough time to freshen and relax within the bathhouse. Hinata guide Naruto okay." Hitomi ordered the children while giving Naruto a stern look when she felt that he was about to protest, and smiled when he acquiesced.

Hitomi also knelt up from the ground and gave a sideways smile to Hiashi who was suddenly apprehensive about what Hitomi was planning. While he wished to ask, he felt that he should stay quiet and let things play out.

...

Hitomi made her way to the bathhouse, where she slipped into the male side where the only one present was Naruto, he had taken off his clothes and was confused about what he was supposed to do with the basket in front of him.

When Hitomi tapped Naruto on his shoulder, he jumped in surprise and flipped around to see Hitomi standing in front of him, gazing down at him with a smile on her face. Naruto immediately went to cover his groin with both hands but was then nervous when Hitomi knelt, grabbed hold of his wrists and placed them to his sides.

"Lady Hitomi, what are you doing?!" Naruto asked confused.

Hitomi did not immediately reply, instead, she released her hold on Naruto and looked towards one corner of the bathhouse. "When children are growing up, the mothers take special care to imprint on them, to form a bond between the two that no one can break, this bonding session is one of the most important in a child's early life. And why I am here, is the answer to what I am doing; fulfilling your late mother's promise, the promise to be there for one another's children if anything were to happen."

"I was unable to adopt you and give you the loving family you deserved, but that doesn't mean that if I have the opportunity, I will simply let it pass, I wish to bond with you Naruto-Kun, as mother and son."

Naruto was still a child, even with him maturing quickly due to unfortunate circumstances he still needed comfort and love that only a few could ever give. He was a child craving love and here in front of him was a mother who wished to give all that she had.

Naruto opened his mouth, but hesitated, feeling himself choke up, tears brimming up, he simply nodded and leaned into Hitomi's waiting arms, letting himself, for the first time in a long time, cry his heart out.

After a couple of minutes, Naruto's muffled voice from Hitomi's chest spoke out, hiccupping in between words, "Would you 'hic', mind if I could 'hic' call you 'hic' Mama."

Hitomi instead said nothing and pulled Naruto deeper into the comfort of her chest, where she placed a hand on top of Naruto's head, all the while her tears fell soaking his hair. "You may, Musuko." Hitomi finally replied.

Hitomi laid Naruto on the ground who was now asleep after the exhaustion, stripped herself of her robes, and gently carried Naruto into the baths, scrubbing him down with soap and moisturizer, before doing the same for herself.

She dipped into the steamed-filled bath, and slowly nestled Naruto between her breasts, physical contact, a key step necessary for a mother and child to successfully bond.

As Hitomi lovingly wrapped her arms around him, Hitomi finally felt that the promise she owed Kushina a long time ago, is finally coming to fruition.

Hitomi rose from the tub and dried herself and Naruto off, before waking him up, promising herself that she would have Naruto truly feel part of the family.

"Wake up, Naruto-Kun, wake up Musuko." Hitomi was rocking Naruto back and forth in her arms until he woke up, Naruto's violet eyes flickering confusedly before focusing on the face in front of him and smiling happily as he realised that what happened was real.

"Now, we must go back to the others, they are probably waiting for us to arrive, so let's not keep them waiting, shall we?" Both mother and son changed clothes and went on their way.

...

They arrived with Naruto timidly holding one of Hitomi's hands, with her gently leading Naruto to his seat, between Hinata and Hanabi, where Hinata was on his right and Hanabi to his left. On the front end of the table sat Hiashi, to his left his brother Hizashi and on Hiashi's right, Hitomi. And now Naruto laid eyes upon Hizashi's wife, the Matriarch of the Hyuga Branch Clan, whom she introduced herself as Natsu Hyuga.

"Excuse me, Naruto-Kun, did you enjoy the bathhouse?" Naruto turned his head to see Hinata asking, while still focused on her plate.

"Yeah, it was very relaxing and enjoyable, it was something I had never experienced before," Naruto replied, with Hinata nodding in affirmation.

After lunch, they all adjourned to the courtyard, where tea was distributed, and the elders of the group motioned the children to stand in a line for a lecture.

"Now after Taijutsu and relaxing your body, all of you are now fully ready to continue with the next step of your training, and an even more crucial one for a Hyuga. We will now begin with training your Chakra Control, from what we have seen, the one who requires this training the most early on is Naruto, whose Chakra reserves match all three of you combined. The deep theory within chakra and its history we will discuss and go into depth later, but for now, we will go for the more practical route." Hiashi's regal look had enraptured the eager soon-to-be shinobi with his words and had all of them wanting to have a go at it. "Now then let us begin with the first and foremost Chakra Control Exercise," Here he picked up a leaf from the ground and placed it on his forehead, holding it in place using only his chakra. "The Leaf Concentration Exercise, where you must succeed in sticking a leaf on your forehead, using only your chakra, and just a word of advice, do not go rushing into it, proceed patiently." Hiashi ended, just for Hitomi to add on.

"Oh, and children, to fully master this Exercise one must have at least ten leaves on their body wherever, I will be right here with Natsu-Chan to help you if you have any problems, while Hiashi-Kun and Hizashi-San will go back and deal with the other problems."

Both males glanced at Hitomi, who gave them a sweet smile, which made a shiver run up their backs, glancing at each other and nodding, they quietly turned back and dealt with the 'other problems', mainly the Elders of the Hyuga Clan, who had gotten wind of Naruto being present in the Compound and were making an effort to force Hiashi to send him back.

"We will also be monitoring your Chakra network and how it reacts when you mould your chakra and push it towards your head, so we will also be giving constant feedback after each attempt, don't worry if nothing happens at first, it will take multiple tries to succeed in sticking a leaf to your forehead," Hitomi assured the children.

A notification appeared with Naruto discreetly reading the info regarding the amount of Chakra Control each exercise provides.

Side Note: To unlock the next Chakra Control Exercise, you must first master the previous exercise.

'Hmm, so 5 add 5, and another 5, then 10…they all add up to 100%, huh, full control of my chakra, I could most definitely be an amazing Ninjutsu Specialist. But I doubt I'll focus that much on Ninjutsu, since considering my heritage, I'll have a better chance with Kenjutsu and Fuinjutsu.'

After contemplating his choices, Naruto placed the Leaf on his head and slowly pushed his Chakra towards his head, slowly but surely he found a steady grip on the leaf, still going back and forth with the correct Chakra required, when Naruto believed that the leaf would stick, he let go of his finger, only just for the leaf to fall back down.

"Naruto-Kun, while successfully moulded your Chakra and pushed it towards your head, you failed to envision your Chakra sticking to the surface of the leaf, and that led to your Chakra not being able to attain a successful grip on the surface. You must envision your Chakra sticking, and let it do the rest." Hitomi advised, with Natsu nodding from where she was sitting.

Naruto nodded in thanks and moulded his Chakra, envisioning its texture and properties changing to a glue-like substance. His Chakra latched onto the surface, and this time when Naruto let go, the leaf remained stuck on his forehead.

Naruto jumped up in joy, grinning from ear to ear, all the while the leaf doggedly stuck on his head, despite the boy's effort to dislodge it.

"Look Mama, look, look, I did it, the leaf's on my head, see, it's still on my head." Naruto rushed towards Hitomi pointing at his head, jumping up and down in joy, with a proud Hitomi who placed her hand on his head, calming the energetic child.

"Well done, Naruto, now why don't you start with the second leaf, with your Chakra reserves you have more than enough to spare for a second." Hitomi kindly sent Naruto on his way, ruffling his shiny red locks, earning a small pout from the quickly grinning child.

Natsu gave Hitomi a sly look, "Mama, huh, you always did protest to adopt Naruto even going so far as to gain the ill will of the Hokage even if slightly, and now look at you, having made him comfortable enough to open up, to let his true personality shine, to the point that he happily calls you Mama and that too in just over a couple of hours." Hitomi was red in the face, embarrassed to have been caught so openly. She raised her hand flippantly and simply waved off the accusations.

"Of course not, I would do no such thing, I would of course never go under the Hokage's nose and do such a thing, and I would never have encouraged my children to go play with Naruto when he was all alone on the swings, and use that as an excuse to invite him here, and of course, if the Hokage does come snooping in, you will have my back won't you?" Hitomi said all of this without changing face, but the way she said it, with that strange glint in her eyes is what made Natsu hastily agree, concerned for her safety.

"Of course, I would how can I not."

Meanwhile, Naruto had just received a notification for successfully creating and learning a new skill. Naruto was then waved by Hinata and Hanabi who were in their separate corner, "Hey, Naruto, why did you call Mother 'Mama', is there something you're not telling us." Hanabi interrogated Naruto since she was confused as to why someone they had just met was calling their mother 'Mama'.

"No, no, nothing like that, I don't know how to tell you girls, maybe you could Mama later for the details." And Naruto rose and left for another spot, where he read through the just-received notification.

New Skill Created

Leaf Concentration Exercise

'And so the training begins.'

...

Two months had passed by since Naruto had first been blessed by the mysterious bloodline, and was leaps and bounds beyond when he had first started, most of his stats were now above the 70s, his Strength(65), Speed(67), Stamina(75), Dexterity(71), while his other stats; Vitality(60), Chakra(66) and his Intelligence(65) and Wisdom(40).

He even managed to learn and master all three of the beginner's Chakra Control Exercises, and while this would be enough for any other Shinobi with small Chakra reserves, but not for him, he was refused permission to begin the Tree Walking Exercise, stating that it was an exercise which new Genin attempted as a team building exercise to stoke up motivation and some friendly competition. Naruto simply figured that since he had already received a brief description of the exercise, he would just try it until he succeeded, but he didn't wish for Hitomi to get upset with him, so he left it at that.

Naruto had fully prepared himself, physically and mentally, with all his stats in the desired range and all of his skills being far higher than he previously anticipated, he was lucky to have been given the help of a clan, or else he would be severely lacking in crucial skills.

He was, by his mother, forced to join in to learn proper etiquette, social skills and manners. In return, he asked to be able to learn Calligraphy to learn Fuinjutsu, and Hitomi agreed, with her helping him greatly in every lesson.

His other skills like his Taijutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Killing Intent, his Kekkei Genkai: Mind Eyes of Kagura and his Chakra Chains, all increased in multiple levels, his Taijutsu benefiting the most, from having Hinata, Hanabi and Neji spar with him, and Hitomi who advised him, and encouraged him after he made mistakes and helped fix them. He was even taught how to meditate, and boy was it helpful, it increased his regen rate for both his HP and CP by 5% on the first level.

He even learned how to play different board games like Shogi, Chess and Checkers, and they were an immense boon for him in increasing his Intelligence and Wisdom.

From 31st October to 31st December, each day he completed the Daily Quest, with the Quest objectives increasing in difficulty every week, and so were the rewards, so by the end of the two months he had racked up a total of 962500EXP. Though he wished to continuously use the Dungeon, apparently one can only use the Dungeon six more times after he completed it once.

He used one of his tries on the day he met the Hyugas and the other four back-to-back straight after, he also would have lost the chance to fight the Hidden Dungeon Boss if he had used the last chance. He gained another 50000EXP, alongside 50000RYO, and with every odd quest now and then he racked up another 10000EXP, so all in all a good 1022500EXP.

With the amount of RYO he, saved up; exactly 129600RYO. He even thought of buying the Katana he saw in the Game Store for 100000RYO, and when he was about to buy it, a notification popped over it.

The game has updated itself as a promise made two months ago regarding the compensation the Game now has several new features and options usually of which are given when a player is legally considered an adult; 1 Property 2 Stock Market 3 Slave Market.

Have Fun exploring

'Huh, well I had completely forgotten about this, I was fine with simply receiving the bonus from my title of Heir of both the Uzumaki and Namikaze, but I'll just see what this is all about.'

Naruto tapped on 'property' and the only item on the list was; ARundown Apartment, worth 200000RYO. 'Is it the only property I own, what about my parent's home, surely they left me something if not a place to live, but it may have been probably destroyed in the Kyubi's attack, what about money or any scrolls wouldn't those be automatically passed onto me, but regardless, that is a question for another day.'

Naruto tapped on 'Stock Market', and for it, an introductory description appeared.

The Stock Market is simply a place for you to invest your hard-earned money and for it to return as your profit, you may feely peruse the many options from purchasing more properties, companies, and businesses or even purchasing shares and becoming a shareholder of a company. Any and all transactions will be done by the Game on your behalf until you legally become an adult and have a proper sense of money and its value.

To start the true experience of this feature, you must open your very own bank account and deposit your cash, from which transactions will take place. Any deposit made initially and later on will turn a profit since the bank charges 5% interest and the amount will be added to your account.

If you wish to open your bank account press Yes, or No if you wish for it to be done at a later date. Yes/No?

'Yeah, sure why not, the Game will open the account for me, so why worry.'

Your account has been successfully created! How much do you wish to deposit?

"Game, just add a solid 100000RYO, the rest will be staying with me. And now with that out of the way, the final new feature; the Slave Market, does this simply mean that I can just buy my slaves? Well, I won't find answers until I see what it all is about." Naruto tapped on 'Slave Market' and the notification that appeared appalled him.

Congratulations! For this being your very first time, the Game has purchased for you on their behalf, three new slaves just for you and they will be arriving in exactly 5 minutes and counting. Good Luck!

"WHAT THE F-"

Authors Note

First, I would like to thank all of you for your encouraging and supportive comments.

Second, I will be answering a few questions;

1 DRADX=To answer you, I have read many Fics, that as you said made Naruto question the System time and time again. My idea was to have Naruto just go with the flow and simply accept it.

2 biginferno = Samui, Temari and Shizuka will be introduced during the Chunin Exams Arc, while Shizune, Kurenai, and Ino will be introduced during the Academy Arc. Tayuya will be a surprise.

3 agnar = Your indignation is acceptable, but just try to see things my way. If I'm going to make an OP Naruto, I cannot just simply have him blitzing his opponents, Where's the fun in that, it'll make the story go stale and boring.
