Finding the section of the shop that sold Light Sources he went ahead and sold his old dimly lit stuff that he found around and bought new Lights that brightly lit the room. The only light he didn't replace was his old froggy night night lamp. He was curious about all the stuff he could buy that was locked behind some strange challenge but he guessed he couldn't really afford that stuff since everything was organized by price. He found he could speed up time and complete his bedrest far quicker with a push of a fast forward button.
Getting up out of his bed he focused on that feeling again and found that time stood completely still. He was still able to see around with the Gemstone but now when sold his old bed he replaced it with one of the more expensive ones. It was very interesting how he was able to pause and unpause foot traffic when he looked outside his windows. Since it was almost time to go to school again he woke himself up. The green Gemstone floated above him as he got up he found that buying everything wasn't actually a dream that the entire appartment changed into what he thought was his dream.
When he washed his face in the Bathroom there was even a Digital Clock on the top side of the Vision. The Game Screen showed up in the corners of his Vision showing helpful hints and alerts about current activities. His six stats were also displayed and could be hidden away from his vision.
Since morning was almost rearing it's head around the corner Naruto wondered weather the cooking skill leveled up three munute ramen. He decided to further test his new gamer power. He made himself a big breakfast since it was still early in the morning and he had time. The breakfast included Eggs Ham and Cheese ramen and a Cold Tea for a drink.
Afterwards he just kinda relaxed in his new couches until he remembered he needed to plant those Seed Packets and try making some Art to sell in order to generate Simoleons. He got up off the Couch opening his first Seed Packet those Seeds grew basic flowers like Sunflowers and Lilies. (Note: sometimes I may refer to this so I only want to sell flowers going forward I know that you need a certain level of gardening skill before you unlock flowers but simply referring to things in the garden plot as flowers is easier) Naruto after finishing planting and watering his flower garden went over to his Art Stylist. He stared at it for a few seconds before finally understanding what he was looking at and using the Gemstone clicking his fingers he found that he needed to pay in Simoleons to begin working on his Art then sell it later on for profit.
He paused for a moment to consider why spending twenty five Simoleons on creating Art was worth it. He guessed that if it didn't work out he wouldn't have to spend anymore time trying this method. The entire thing came with paint and a canvas when he pushed the button. He knew what he needed to do but the game didn't make it any easier on him at least not on level one. He reached level two in his art skill was when he finished his painting. Taking a few steps back to admire his work he noticed that it was fine enough but still needed some work. The painting came out in poor quality worth approximately Twenty Four Simoleons. Naruto thought it looked fine not too great or too bad but he was definitely going to try again since he only spent a single whole Simoleon to make it, a lot of effort and time.
Seeing that he was almost late for Shinobi Academy he properly got ready and made his way over.
You were painting on the Hokage monument again weren't you" Iruka said while trying to see if he could watch the damage from out the classroom window. "What no I wasn't this is just paint I used at home" Naruto said. "First I see that your on time for once secondly I noticed that you have paint on your jacket and finally you try to lie I don't know what kind of genjustu your trying to pull here ill be right back" said Iruka while disappearing outside a window on his way to check on the Monument.
"Naruto baka just tell the truth" said Ino "yeah your holding up the class" said sakura. "I have not lied" Naruto tried to explain. "Ooo your in trouble once Sensei returns" said Kiba while sneaking into class trying not to get caught. After a while Iruka returned having not found anything "yeah sorry about that Naruto your free to go, and Kiba don't think I didn't notice you your on thin ice buster" said an irate Iruka sensei. "Oh man I thought you wouldn't notice" said Kiba while Akimaru whimpered. It was during lunchtime that Ino apologised for calling Naruto a liar he was able to reach positive reputation with her when he asked about tips on gardening. He tested his System to see how other people would respond to his power's. Ino didn't really feel one way or another about Naruto it was actually after Lunch Break that he noticed that he had a small positive reputation with her. Must be the great conversation about Gardening Buff that was shown on his screen. It gave him a plus one to gardening and another plus one to happiness. Talking to Ino about Gardening also improved his sucky level two Gardening Skill.
During PT he was able to get his fitness higher deciding that now would be the best time for his daily run since that was also part of a Shinobis Training. He received another buff notification that gave him a plus to his energy and a small fitness level for running. He actually felt a small increase to his energy levels that would later help him out in the long run in his chosen career as a shinobi. Pushing himself for today he actually made incredible progress getting up to level two by the time class ended. He actually felt gains and upper body strength come from just exercising his lower body and calves. He understood that if his exercising skill ever reached level ten he would have olympian levels in strength since allready his workouts just helped the lower levels. Still those two levels already were giving him a healthy boost. Just now realizing that this ability might be a little broken after all.
Just to further test out his ability to freeze time he suddenly paused time. While standing in the middle of the track he ran on he suddenly stopped everything he couldn't preform any movement but could plan out any strategies ahead of time using his Gemstone eye on the battlefield while on pause.
Every person walking outside who started doing an activity in the track had frozen still in place. He couldn't move his regular body either so it was a work in progress. The only thing he could control was the Gemstone that gave him sight and that followed him everywhere. No one had even asked about it or even mentioned it in the first place. "Why can't people see you" Naruto asked the system. "Because then normal people would start seeing that their reality is being messed with and stop accepting reality" the system said to Naruto. Naruto deep in thought also accepted the fact that the system could affect reality on such a huge scale. "Would it really mass with people that much" Naruto asked. "Currently the System is working on stopping everything like Murder and Assassination or Assault from being common. If someone evil knew to Kill you the System would disappear and everything would return to the way thing's once were. So the System is slightly changing the mindset and limiting Ninja and Criminals to be less evil but not by much" was the System's Answer.
Naruto's Gemstone went around and flew around heads of his fellow classmates and he found he could interact with them using popbubbles. Once time began again Naruto used it as a medium to tell like a joke to someone. Flirting and pull a prank even showed up. Not that he wanted to do that stuff yet. Except with Sakura but she just got angrier with him when he tried. Hinata who was watching the whole thing actually lost some small amount of romantic feelings for him he noticed.
So that's Hinata, Naruto was thinking about the pale eyed girl while in the next class. She had a great friendship and romantic score for him but the thing was that he never talked to her before. He just couldn't remember why. Hovering over her head he found he could do a variability of options with her from encouragement to telling a joke and of course there were more romantic opinions but he wasn't going to touch those yet besides with Sakura.
He deselected it and returned to resume his training again. The Gemstone functioned like a third eye that could move where he wanted to pass through floors and walls. It was during lesson's he was able to gain a level in writing and science skills. That he was also starting to feel very bored with School and wondered about his Art and Garden.
He went down floors, flew through walls, and noticed that many of the rooms he hadn't gone through were completely dark or empty. Room's he hadn't had a chance to visit looked empty and were devoid of all funiture. Naruto asked the system about this "it is part of an unlock system that rewards exploration. Rooms you haven't ever visited before will be completely invisible to you." said the system
While he didn't know exactly what was happening inside the room. He was able to get a sense on the layout of the entire surrounding buildings.
Further testing in this showed in he went over to one of the empty surrounding rooms and went into it. Walking into the once very vacant room showed that it now had furniture inside of it. He guessed that the furniture and people would only show up if he'd been in a room before.
Once school ended he very quickly entered every room in the academy that he could so he could see in and wouldn't be bored the following day. When he was finished looking around he seen that all his stats like hunger and fun were going further down. Once he arrived home he made a purchase of Eggs, Bacon and Orange juice. In essence it was food actual food stuff he didn't need to pay four times the amount for. He wasn't dissing on Ramen he still had it throughout the day it was just a whole world completely different nutritional content just opened up for him. Once he pulled it out of the refrigerator he watched the game make his meal for him.
His approach to fulfilling his needs was different this time around. While his social wasn't low it wasn't that high either pulling out his phone he decided on trying it out again. This time around he wasn't going to try a random number since the last time didn't go so well. Naruto definitely didn't want to call Sakura since she was angry with him and Hinata was still unknown to him. So he lifted his phone up to his ear and said "hello Ino" Ino was definitely a great person to talk to after today thought Naruto while also wanting to increase his Social Bar.
Once his Social Bar was fulfilled he put away his phone and took a shower. Now that his shower worked he was able to change temperature using both of the shower knobs. He easily walked out and dried himself walking to his closet and equipping another outfit.
This time he turned on the TV to the Cooking channel and watched as the head chef start to call all the other chefs terrible at cooking. He learned alot from this channel and about all the mistakes the other chefs made.
Feeling tired he drank some water then brushed his teeth. He almost fell asleep that was until he saw a the upgrades promp button on his bed. "System what are upgrades" Naruto asked. Upgrades come hand in hand with the handiness skill many Sims can also choose to specialize in skills to become better specialized in a career and further progress up aspersion trees like super green thumb.
"System what are careers" Naruto asked the system wanting to know more. Careers are jobs for sims to get better at those seeking to be career sims should train their respective skills first. Sims with great perks and skills have an easier time getting promotions going up the career ladder. Some aspersion trees and items require you to reach a certain position in your career before you unlock the next set of aspersions.
"System what are talents and talent trees" Naruto asked wanting to figure out more about the system. "Talents are perks you get for completing aspersions trees or spending points in the perk shop, if you want a perk points to spend you need to complete a aspiration tree or preform moodlets"
"System what are moodlets" Naruto asked. Moodlets are activitys that the system may recommend to do they award a small amount of perk points. They are specifically designed to give you the best experience. They are automatically turned off by the system settings.
"System turn on moodlets" said Naruto wanting to get as many. Naruto saw that his moodlets was simple stuff like washing his hands, cooking a certain meal, and doing pushups exercise buying something or calling someone. He found that after a while the moodlets became different after a while but he gained a respectable amount of points.
After drinking some more water he began looking through the most his list he found that talked about his current aspersions. Since he already felt sleepy he would look at the list tomorrow.
When Naruto woke up Tomorrow the next day
he sleepily walked into his kitchen he began his daily morning routine of rising again. Slowly he went over to his refrigerator and this time pulled out 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 since it wasn't spoiled.
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 Aspiration reward's.
First on the edited list of Aspersions was the 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. Now 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.
The Aspiration 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 on his paper" 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.
The Renaissance Sim Aspersion gave a trait called professorial, professorial sims can write helpful manual's 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 or Write" Naruto joked.
The Master Chef Aspersion 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 unlike Jiji.
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 all his skills into shape. The thing was he needed points and the only way to get enough points for talents was to complete Aspersions or his Moodlets. Moodlets rewarded him with less points to spend but they were like unlimited quests.
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 so picking something like Beloved would be harder. 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 and a reward once he completed it.
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, Naruto 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 and could swap between both currency at any time. 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 with the Money he made selling Art and Flowers. 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 like very Rare Plants. 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 friend sitting behind the 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, Didn't you know that 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 rare "Expensive and also something I can start growing" Naruto told Ino. "Also have you ever heard of a cowplant?" Asked Naruto. "A cowplant?, such a plant doesn't exist" asked a confused Ino. "System how do I grow a cowplant if she doesn't have one" Naruto asked
"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 "We have Snapdragons those are real but 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 Snapdragon Seed's though" said Naruto chuckling at his own joke.
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 politely asked again "will that be everything Naruto?".
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 so perhaps he should work on improving his Social Skills past level one.
Going home
He walked out of the shop and stored his purchases inside of his personal inventory. Naruto took off towards his house thinking about his conversation with Ino she was a Social Butterfly so she would definitely be suspicious and get whatever answers she wanted from a simple conversation. 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. Simoleons were becoming a less of a problem since his last level up in Gardening. 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 giggling and singing sweetly.
He woke up sweaty and stiffer then a brick something he didn't understand or experience before. 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 talk to grow stronger and healthier.
"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 and other stuff she hadn't even heard of. 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. She was going to impose and see what kind of condition these plants were groing in otherwise if he didn't properly care for them she would scold him.
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 regular 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 after asking the System's help though now he definitely could finish the Milestone for his first 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 like a Cow. 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 knew he lived here since she asked Iruka. 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 it wasn't like he had been hiding something. Ino had been a remarkable source of information since he started Gardening. When she entered inside Ino 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 immediately she was curious about but asks "are those the Dragonfruits you had been asking about in our shop" Ino asked with a smirk 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 actually there are many that I see aren't native" said Ino finally finished from that new experience. "What I want to know is where you were able to get the new fruits that I've never heard of?" Ino demanded at once since her family was one of the greatest producers of such good's in the land of fire. "I cultivated them by meshing together different types of trees in order to create a new seed" Naruto answered.
She was gobsmacked impressed by Naruto's explanation for the plant grafting. "I'm sorry Naruto im not really the expert with this sort of thing, I need a second opinion do you mind if i invite my father over so you can explain it to him he's much better with plants than I am at the moment" Ino asked pulling out her phone like an expert. "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, Which one oh Naruto's" said Ino to her father over the phone giving him Naruto's address. "Wait why'd you phrase what you said like that" asked Naruto. "Wait right there princess I'll be there in ten no five minutes don't you touch her Naruto" Inochi shouted 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 in the first place asked a curious Inochi. "I cultivated them by meshing together different types of fruit trees in order to create a new seed. Ino really helped me initially get into gardening but taking care of them required a few weeks of work" Naruto answered how everything was done.
"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 Plant 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 produce 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 and the Nara whose family had such a head for business.
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. The boy was a genius in the Garden only the First Hokage would have produced such quality. He would need to contact with the Hokage though before anything would actually fall through he wondered what other plant's Naruto could improve with his Gardener skill.
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 as big as a Mellon. 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. "You said this recent intrest was brought to him by your daughter" Huruzen asked.
"Yes, Hokage Sama thought before all that I came here for permission to offer a exclusively contract with Naruto it's for the Village's best interest that he does since I can easily see this breaking the Market and being taken advantage of by other's not in Naruto's best interest" Inochi explained. Apparently Naruto had shown off enough skill to impress someone like Inochi whose Clan practically only revolved themselves around plants and flowers. Inochi wanted to form a contract with the young man that brought forth new 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 unless he wanted everything swept under the rug.
"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 a Young Adult or 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 both his mother's and father's passed on will's and estate's. 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 perfect, 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 they 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 in the market place.
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 but large 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 great deal of many new Avenue's of revenue into Konoharas coffers whith what he has seen" 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 splendor into the venture.
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief at finally arriving home he had to do 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 in the final level's of the skill.
There were a lot of Business dealing Merchants that the Yamanakas invited apparently people who came were given the Dragon Fruit to eat 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 if mass produced. The money and property 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 proposal's were signed off now all he needed was enough time off in order to grow a Cowplant to finally complete his first 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.
A whole 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 Apartment's he was givem he noted 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 such things like World Size and population. 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 far more often than normal.
His new personal Apartment also came with two bathrooms one in the bedroom and one for guests. The Dining Room was connected to the Kitchen. His old Apartment for reference was around the size of his new Bedroom. 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 an 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 new 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 the great icha icha material if i dont write lemons.
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?" Kizame asked"
