Land of Fire, Konoha, Naruto's Apartment
Naruto sat across from Raphael as he processed that he was now part of a game.
Or the world around him had become a game.
"Raphael can you awnswert in yes or no for a little bit?" Naruto asked the blue-haired game aid.
"Ofcourse, master," She nodded at him.
"Right then, am I part of a game?" he asked the game aid, who nodded and shook her head. "Can you give a little explanation?" Naruto asked her.
"By the Law of the Universe BN0, God of Stories, Maker of Worlds, the Multiversal Game was created so that the User, in this case master it is you, the world around the User becomes like a game for them to become the best form of themself," Raphael told him as Naruto nodded at her as he took this all in.
"I see. So that means that there are things like minigames and missions that I can take on?" Naruto asked as Raphael nodded at him. "Is there a way to increase my status?" he asked her.
"Yes," she said to him as Naruto nodded.
"Can you tell the ways to incress them," He asked her.
"I can. Strength you will need to work out your muscles; the Workout Minigames at the Gym will aid you. For Athletics, you will need to run the Parkour Minigames. For Taijutsu, you will need to spar or go to the Dojo and train with a Taijutsu Master from the Multiversal Collection. For Bukijutsu, you must spar or go to the Dojo and train with a Bukijutsu Master from the Multiversal Collection. For Kenjutsu, you will need to spar or go to the Dojo and train with a Kenjutsu Master from the Multiversal Collection," Raphael told him as a mini-map appeared in the corner of his eye. It showed a place labelled as Dojo and one labelled Gym. "Dexterity, you must work on your footing and balance to increase the start and to do that, there is the Race Minigame. For Acrobatics, you must test your balance and grace; you have the Balance Minigames and the Gymnastic Minigames at the Gym. For Sleight of Hand, you can increase this stat by pickpocketing and doing the Lock Picking Minigamis, the Theft Minigames, or the Robbing Minigames. You can improve Stealth by being silent and performing acts without drawing attention, and you can do the Sneak Minigames. For Shurikenjutsu, for your use with a small bladed weapon or a Shuriken, you have to hit targets with them; you can go to the Target Range and do the Shuriken Target Minigames. For Speed, you must use a Time Trail Minigames or Race Minigames. For Accuracy, you can go to the Target Range, do any Minigamis and hit a number given to you when you start the Accuracy Minigame," She told him as Naruto saw multiple icons show up on the mini-map along with a place labelled as Target Range.
The first lot of icons was a black and white checkered flag.
The next looked to be someone walking on a tightrope.
Then, one was a padlock with a lock pick within it.
Then, there is one with a grey money bag.
The next one had a cartoon robber running.
Then, there was an icon of someone putting a finger to their lips.
Then was a stopwatch.
"Constitution, you must go to a restaurant and eat there or do the Poison Indurance Minigames. Luck, you will need to do the Locate Missing Items Minigames," The game aid told Naruto as two more icons appeared on the mini-map. The first was a purple teardrop, and the second was a magnifying glass. "Intelligence you can increase by going to the Library and reading a book or do the Word Minigames. History can be improved by reading about history at the Library or doing the Past Minigames. For Investigation, you must do the Detective Minigames," Raphael told Naruto, who nodded as Libary appeared on the mini-map with two icons.
The first was a skull with a question mark.
And the other was a magnifying glass with a footprint.
"Wisdom you can increase by talking with Puzzle Minigames. Animal Handling can be increased by completing the Walk The Dogs, Look After D'at Cat, Polly Wants A Cracker and Fish In The Sea Missions. For Insight, you will need to complete the Target Them Minigame. For Medicine, you head to the Hospital and see the Doctor, Nurse, or Surgion Minigames. To increase your Perception, you can do the Spy Minigame. For Survival, you can do the Camping Minigames," The Game Aid said as more icons appeared on the mini-map. They were a jigsaw piece, a target with a person outlined on it, a domino mask, and a campfire. And then a place labelled Hospital. "Charisma, you must talk to people more and go to the Bath House. Deception, you will need to do the White Lie Minigame. For Intimidation, go to the I and do the Interrogation Minigame. Performance is one where you must head to the Bar and do the Singing, Play Instrument, and Dancing Minigames. Persuasion is you head to shops and haggle," Raphael told Naruto, who nodded as the last icon appeared on the mini-map. It was a hand with crossed fingers and places labelled Bath House, I and Bar.
"Right," Naruto said as he looked at the mini-map before he looked back at Raphael, "Are there any Missions at the moment?" He asked as the game aid nodded and shook her head.
"Explain," He told her.
"Their are no Missions active at the moment, but you can do some Side Missions," Raphael told him as a window showed a list of names. At the top, it said Side Missions.
And when he saw the top Side Mission, it was called Godlings in Konoha.
Naruto looked at the Side Mission before looking over to Raphael. "Can others see you? " he asked as she shook her head.
Naruto nodded at himself before he left his arm and pressed the mission as if a text box had appeared.
~Side Mission~
Name: Godlings in Konoha
Requirements: Tell Hiruzen Sarutobi about the Demigods within Konoha
Do you Accept
[Yes] [No]
~end~
Naruto looked at the mission before he nodded at himself. "Alright, I've been meaning to do this for a while, so let's do this," Naruto said to himself as he pressed yes. In the corner of his eye, it said the Side Mission on a bar.
"Right, Raphael, is there a Light Lv1 Technique that I can use to create a rainbow," He asked the game aid, who nodded and showed him.
"Rainbow Light. I'll take it, along with Adhesive Bubble Blow," Naruto said. Raphael nodded, and his EV points went down by one.
"You will need to buy some other Techniques thanks to your Shinigami Warrior Clan Trait," She told him as Naruto nodded at her as he looked.
"Alright, I'll take Static Shock and Fiery-heated Bubbles," he told her as Raphael nodded at him. Then Naruto left his home and started to go to the Hokage Building.
"Can you still hear me if I think at you?" Naruto asked Raphael, who nodded, "Am I the only one who can see you?" He asked her as she nodded once more.
"But there is a thing to add to that, Master. If you so want, you have to have me visible to others," she told him as Naruto nodded at her and continued to the Hokage Building.
When he reached the building, he walked to the office and knocked on the door. "Come in," a voice from inside called out as Naruto walked in and found the Hokage with some people.
The first was Hokage, an elderly man with tan skin, wrinkles and liver spots. He had picked grey hair, adding a small goatee with a gaunt face and a single line running vertically under the outer corners of each eye, which stretched down into his face as he aged until they reached his cheeks. He was dressed in haori with a red, full-length kimono tied with a white sash.
Then, spiky silver hair oriented to his left side, a visible dark grey eye and a relaxed and lazy expression. A mask covered the bottom of his mouth, and he was dressed in Konoha's standard infantry clothing: a flak jacket, dark blue pants, and a long-sleeve shirt. He also wears fingerless gloves with metal plates on the backhand and is seen with a chain necklace underneath.
Then there was a tall man with brown eyes, olive skin, short black spiky hair, and a beard. His clothing consisted of the standard Konoha ninja uniform with the sleeves rolled halfway, a flak jacket, regular shinobi sandals and a forehead protector. He also wore a sash with the kanji for "Fire" (火) marked on it around his waist, a pair of black bangles, and bandages wrapped around the arms of his sleeves.
The last was a fair-skinned woman of slender build. She has long, black, untamed hair reaching her upper back and very unique eyes that are red in colour, with an additional ring in them. She wears make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow. Her regular outfit consists of a red mesh armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible. Overall, this is a comprehensive material which resembles bandages with a pattern similar to those of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages, and she wears the Konoha forehead protector and regular shinobi sandals.
"Naruto, what can I help you with?" the Hokage asked. The blond looked at the three older ninjas before he took a deep breath and walked forward.
"Hokage-sama, I, Genin Naurto Uzuamki, Ninja Registration 012607, am here to reveal information that can doom me and countless others in Konoha if not handled with our say," Naruto said as the four looked at him in confusion as the Hokage raised a brow at him.
"And what is that?" The Hokage asked as Naruto looked at him.
"I am not fully human, and at this moment, eleven others within Konoha are the same as me but different simultaneously. I have proof of this, but I need to do something. Or can you create something for me to prove it?" he told his leader, who narrowed his eyes and nodded at the blond.
"And what is it you need?" He asked.
"A rainbow," Naruto said as the three older ninjas looked at each other. The Hokage turned to the man with one eye and nodded. With the sun coming through the window, the man called water into the air, forming a mist that created a rainbow.
The four watched as Naruto pulled out two large golden coins and looked at the rainbow.
"Isis, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering," Naruto said as he tossed both coins into the rainbow. Camp of the Hunters of Artemis, Artemis," he said as the rainbow rippled as the cains went in. The rainbow changed as it showed someone who shocked the adults in the room.
They saw a young girl dressed in a silver parka, camo pants, and combat boots. She had olive skin, long crimson hair, and violet eyes.
"Yuki, make sure the tents are gathered up before we move on," she yelled, as a girl with black hair pinned behind her yelled.
"M'lady, it seems that your son is calling," she said as the girl turned around. The Hokage looked shocked by her face.
"Kushina?" He asked as the woman shook her head.
"Artemis is my name. Or Diana at times, but why is my son calling me with you three?" Artemis asked them as the red-eyed woman looked at her.
"I did it so I could do two things, Mom," Naruto told her as Artemis looked at her son. The first reason is so that I can let the person who has been like the grandfather I never had to know about me and see how he takes the information and becomes the sacrificial lamb if need be," Naruto told her as Artemis smiled. In contrast, the Hokage looked at the blond with surprise.
"Why would you need to do that?" He asked Naruto, who looked at him with a sad smile.
"If you decide that I should be put into CRA as a demigod so that Konoha can have the perfect hunters for Konoha, the other eleven can run from Konoha," He told the man who opened his mouth, "CRA works for the Uzumaki clan, but making a demigod a breeding tool is never a good idea, we always have someone who we can turn to to have our backs, and save us in the end," Naruto said as the Hokage looked at Artemis who looked him in the eye before.
"You said there are eleven other demigods within Konoha. How will you tell them?" the leader of Konoha asked blond, who summoned a clone that slowly turned into a bird.
"My mother is the goddess of the wild, and in so with that, I can turn into animals, all animals, and with demigods understanding the sacred animals of their parents, I can just turn into them and tell them," Naruto said as the clone was dismissed.
The Hokage and Naruto looked at each other before smiling. "Then you will not have to worry about it, and you are correct about how, as the last male Uzumaki, you will have to bring a clan to Konoha. I will not force the other demigods," he told him as Artemis smiled.
"Can you swear it?" the goddess asked him as the man looked at her. "Swear on the River Styx, and if you do, we know you are truthful," Artemis told him as the Hokage looked at her.
And then at Naruto before he nodded, "What do I say?" He asked.
"I think, Dad, that you say, 'I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, swear on the River Styx that I will not force the other demigods within Konoha to be put in CRA'," The man with the sash said.
"Pretty much," Artemis said as Hiruzen stood up and looked at mother and son.
"I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, swear on the River Styx that I will not force the other demigods within Konoha to be put in CRA," The Hokage called out as the ground shook.
"The Styx has accepted the oath, and please Jiji don't break it," Naruto said as he looked at the man, who nodded at him.
"What would happen if I did," He asked Naruto.
"Your soul would be drown for the rest of time," Artemis told him as the four adults looked shocked.
"The Styx always pays in kind when her oath is broken," Naruto said as Artemis nodded. Suppose a god or goddess breaks the oath. In that case, one of two things happens: either their demigod child is punished in their stead, or they must drink the water from the Styx for a godly year," he said as the woman looked confused.
"How is the second one a punishment? It is three hundred and sixty-five days," she said, but Naruto shook his head.
"No, a godly year is more extended for Mom; if we transfer her years to a mortal equivalent, Mom would be in her twenties," Naruto said as Artemis nodded to what her son said. A godly year in one hundred years," he told them, and that is when the woman's eyes popped out.
"You're saying that if a god or goddess breaks an oath on that river, they must drink from it for thirty-six thousand and five hundred years? " the man with one eye asked, as Naruto nodded.
"But that is not the worst of it," Naruto said as they looked at him, "The tast of the river is said to tast like all the things you hate added with urin," He added as they did not know what to say.
"Then I will not break this oath," Hiruzen said as an Anbu appeared beside Naruto.
"Good to know Hokage-sama, and can I introdukse my self as Sensō Inoshishi, Anbu code name Boar, Son of Ares, God of War," Boar said as Hiruzen nodded at him.
"Boar can you take to the other demigods so I can speak to them, and you three, make sure they you arrive on time," Hiruzen said to the three adults.
Hiruzen then looked at Naruto and handed them a scroll. "This is for the mess with Mizuki and here," he said as he reached into his desk and passed over two scrolls. They were your mothers and fathers," he told him as Naruto nodded, and he nodded and left.
He walked as Raphael appeared next to him, "Well done, Master, with that, you get the mission reward. First, 3 Stats of User's choice increases by 12, Gain 1 Lighting Technique, Gain 1 Ice Technique, Gain 1 Water Technique, Gain 1 Plant Technique, along with Plant Lv1, Gain 1 Free Weapon, Gain 1 Free Bukijutsu or Kenjutsu Technique, Gain one Light Technique, Divine Silver Knife, Gain 1 Fire Technique, Gain 1 Wind Technique, Gain 1 Speed Technique, Gain 1 Poison Technique, along with Poison Lv1, 910 Ryō, 910 Drachma,910 Denarius, and2 EV Points," The game aid told him as Naruto nodded at her.
"Right, first things first, the Stat increase, and three by twelve, yes," Naruto asked as Raphael nodded at him. Alright, increase Stealth, Intelligence, and Taijutsu," Naruto said as he saw the stats increase.
"With that master you have gained six new EV points to add to the extra two," She told him as Naruto nodded.
"Now for my Lighting Technique I'll take Thunder Shock," Naruto picked, and he saw that his EV points did not go down, "So as I am not speding EV points my Clan Trait dose not kick in," He asked as Raphael nodded at him.
Naruto then looked at the Ice Techniques before he picked Icicle Lance, "Alright, Create or Destroy Water for my Water Technique, Razor Leaf for Plant Technique, now then free weapon," Naruto thought as he looked at the weapon listings before he found what he wanted.
It was a bow that was made of carbon fibre with black and red metal, "The Spiteful Fang was created by the Black Armry, and it looks like the arrow tips are also red, daddy-like," Naruto thought as he picked it as it said it would arrive at his home later, "For the Kenjutsu Technique, I'll take the Samurai Sabre Technique, then I will pick Dancing Lights for my Light Technique, and a Divine Silver Knife, oh nice I always wanted one of them," Naruto thought as he held his pouch get heavier.
Naruto then picked Exploding Fireball for his Fire Technique, "Air Blast looks good. Let's take that one along with Shunpo, and finally, Poison Bubbles," Naruto told Raphael, who nodded and added those techniques to his list.
For the rest of the day, he started to train with the new techniques until he could do them flawlessly.
He even trained in his demigod abilities.
