Chapter 6 - 6.Train Until You Die!

Two days later I went back to the library to visit Misa, to see if she had any developments in the hunt for a publisher. The

moment I walked into the library I spotted her with an older looking man in a kimono;

Baroma Hachiku, Publisher

Lv- 12

REP- 0

The man was balding but looked like he did a lot of manual labor, maybe running, maybe something else. Misa noticed me immediately and she smiled waving me

"Good morning Yami," Misa smiled, "You arrived right on time. This is Baroma, the head publisher of the White Lily publishing house and a close friend," she turned

"This is the little genius I was telling you about."

The man looked at me and immediately had an eyebrow raised, "This is the boy who wrote the best book you have ever read?"

I raised an eyebrow, "Did she not mention my age?"

Baroma grunted, "Learn to speak with respect boy."

"Learn to spot talent old man."

Baroma's eyes went wide, "What?! You disrespectful brat! I have been working as a publisher for over twenty years I can spot talent a mile away!"

I shrugged, "Then why didn't you see me?"

He snorted, "You have the arrogance of a writer down pat brat, I'll give you that. Let's see this book Misa keeps going on about," he said snapping his fingers at me

I grumbled, I hate dealing with annoying people. I turned around, facing away from them, and opened my inventory taking out the book in question. I turned arou

him the book, the man taking it with a raised eyebrow at my odd behavior.

He looked over the first page, his eyes going through each line in seconds. Damn, I wish I could read that fast, hmm, I wonder if I can get a skill for speed reading

He finished the first page in a few moments going quickly to the second one, flipping through ten pages in the span of five minutes. And then he stopped, shutting

closing his eyes in contemplation. I won't lie, I was a little nervous as to what he would say.

He looked at me, opening his piercing black eyes, "It's decent."

I smirked, "I know."

Misa groaned, "One good book and he already thinks he's the king of the world."

Baroma smirked before turning to me, "I'll read the rest of the book and tell you my response. If I like what I read then we'll talk. Where do you live?"

"I live in the Ubru district in the Red Leaves apartments. I'll be in room 18, just ask the manager where Naruto Uzumaki lives, he'll be able to guide you."

The publisher's eyes went wide, "You live with that d-boy?" he quickly changed his tone the moment Misa's sharp jonin eyes landed on the man.

I rolled my eyes, "Yes, I live with Naruto. He's my friend and so far has been kind enough to let me share his home. So if you wish to work with me, be aware he w

me. Also, I would watch my tongue if I were you, call him a demon once and you might have to refer to the Third's Anbu force." I finished with a wink.

Both adult's eyes went wide. "Y-Yami! How do you know about the Third's law?!" Misa asked in a hurried whisper.

I rolled my eyes, "Oh please, I'm training to be a ninja Misa, I know when people are keeping secrets from me. Plus, I'm not an idiot. I figured out why people hate

minutes after hanging out with the kid. It's pretty obvious. Do you morons really think kids are that dumb? Please."

Ping!

Lie successful!

Misa gulped, "Well that certainly is...revealing."

I shrugged, "Whatever," I turned to Baroma, "I'll see you later than old man!"

"Don't call me old brat!" the guy yelled, but by then I was already out of the library.

The school days for me were...kind of boring, to be honest. For the last few days I paid attention when possible to lectures and the teachers, but it was just so...slo

God, I could learn all this in my sleep! Which I basically did! I learned the entire history syllabus by myself using the history books I bought from the library! Hell, I

a few steps further!

So like Shikamaru, I took to sleeping in class to pass the time, unable to cope with the sheer boredom. I did pay attention in the odd class, like Iruka's lectures on

and Mizuki's lectures, which should eventually earn me a point in INT, though it hasn't done so yet.

After school, Naruto and I spent time together. Today we spent it sparring together in the academy training yard. From the beginning of the school year nearly two

training yard had slowly become more and more crowded. We however didn't have a choice, confined to one small corner so as to not attract too much attention.

Luckily most of the crowd left by 4 since their parents demanded it. Naruto and I could stay there much longer. Today we finished the training at 5 and went our se

Naruto wanted to prank a store owner that had refused to let us buy groceries for breakfast the other day.

I told him I wasn't really feeling it and told him to go nuts, promising to meet him at home. Plus...there was no quest alert, seemed like a pointless waste of time.

do his own thing while I decided to continue my hunt for the 30 legendary spots in Konoha where I might find a golden leaf!

There was one place I had yet to try which I knew would have a gold leaf for sure, the memorial stone! Kakashi was obsessed with it, plus it was important to the e

there has to be one there!

So finding directions to the stone I made my way towards it. And soon I found a pathway that leads directly to the stone. I walked next to the edge of training yard

technically I wasn't breaking my promise to those two ninjas who gave me my very first weapon.

I found the stone quickly. It was a tall black thing that shone in the day's light. But funnily enough, I wasn't the only one there. There was a ninja wearing a dark g

jacket with a face mask covering his lower face and had silver hair that stood up defying gravity. His headband was pulled down over his left eye and his right one

his fingers traced a name on the stone.

Kakashi Hatake, Copy ninja

REP- 0

"You know, it's rude to stare," the man called out, not bothering to look up.

I gulped, damn, a living legend right before my eyes. I blinked, "S-sorry."

The man looked up and his eye softened, almost looking like a smile, "It's fine. I was just done away." And then he suddenly disappeared in a whirl of leaves leavin

Damn, I really have to learn that jutsu!

I sighed and approached the stone. I looked down and saw the names, so many damn names. All dead…and for what? Because some moron thought they were imp

don't even get me started on the fact that Obito Uchiha's name is on this thing, damn bastard is still alive!

I sighed, 'Okay, not the time. Focus! Find the golden leaf!' I began to look around. It took me an hour of active searching before I finally found it nestled under a ro

away from the stone.

Ping!

Congratulations! You have found a legendary spot: Memorial stone!

+800 EXP

+5 stat points

Random armor drop

Random dead ninja's specialty jutsu

Okay, I'm starting to see a pattern here. Experience, stat points, something that involves luck, and the fourth option of a sure-fire chance that it might be useful. H

case I ended up with two random drops, which could be anything. Damn it.

Thinking logically I should just take the stat points to be safe, but, I really really really wanted to take a chance now that I can actually use some chakra. My luck r

not bad but not good.

So which do I pick? Experience points are out, it's far too little. The stat points are important but so predictable. I want to live a little! The armor drop is important,

I was going to pick, and I was always leaning towards, is the specialty jutsu!

Because, if I'm understanding this right, this would include the previous Hokage's specialty as well. Meaning if I'm lucky, I can get the Lighting god step from Minat

random earth jutsu from some fallen nobody.

Damn it! I don't care! Jutsu here I come!

The golden leaflet out a puff of smoke as a scroll appeared in my hands. I didn't recognize the jutsu, but since most ninjas in the village do have a fire affinity, I'm

whoever I got this from was just some random grunt.

I looked around; I didn't want to risk someone seeing this, so I opened my inventory and put the scroll inside to be opened later. Hopefully, the jutsu would be wor

I walked away, still intent on finding more golden leaves. I racked my brain and only came up with a few options. One, the Hokage tower, but it's too high profile, I

improve my stealth before I approach there. Two, the Hokage mountain, but it was too damn big! Sigh. And three, the orphanage I stayed at.

Honestly, I don't know why I didn't bother looking there before! It's obvious since Naruto lived there, there must be a golden leaf there as well! I had to try.

It was getting dark soon, but I didn't care. I knew around this time everyone would be at dinner and I had twenty good minutes to look around.

First thing's first, I looked around the walls, quickly running around, observing them from the inside and out. And then I went inside, sneaking past people as I look

and even the showers.

I wanted to continue, but the kids were quickly returning! I cursed and ran to the exit, only to see the watchman had returned, and this man was new, I didn't kno

patterns!

So with no other choice, I ran around, intending to use the monkey bars in the playground outback as a way over the wall.

I reached them quickly enough, and since no one was yelling at me I'm assuming nobody saw me as well. I grabbed onto the bars to pull myself up, when suddenl

+100 EXP

I blinked, 'seriously?' I removed my hand and looked around finding a golden leaf embedded on the other side of the bar. Honestly, why did I never find this before

because I never actually came to the playground before. Damn.

Okay, down to business. Hmm, okay, EXP was shit. I'm guessing I was supposed to have found this a long time ago, maybe even when I first came here. Okay, so

If I was weaker, that is before I went into my first dungeon, then I would need the kunai. But now I can just buy all the kunai I want. So that just left the random i

Ping!

You have obtained: 5,000R!

Okay, not something mind-blowing, but hey, I can use this money to buy myself something nice, like kunai for example.

I took the money and put it away before climbing onto the monkey bars and leaping over the wall, landing on the other side and running to Naruto's place.

It took me a while to get there, but I did arrive before it was too late. I opened the door and called out, "Yo Naruto! I'm home!"

"Yami! About time you bastard! We've been waiting for you!" Naruto called out from inside.

"We?" I asked curiously as I walked in to find Naruto sitting with Baroma, the old publisher man, "Oh," I said with a smile, "Hey old man. Did you finish reading it?

The man stood up, "Yes, I did," he took out the book and handed it over to me.

"Yami! Why didn't you tell me you were writing your own book!" Naruto cried out.

I shrugged, "I wanted to see if people would actually like it. Plus it's not like you like reading," I took the book back and looked at Baroma raising an eyebrow, "And

think?"

The man narrowed his eyes, "I think you have a very childish and idealistic way of thinking."

Naruto blinked, "What's idealistic?"

"Just another word people use for when you have a dream which other people think is impossible," I told him looking at the man.

"A hero that doesn't kill?" the man snorted, "You do know the world we live in, yes? You yourself are training to be a ninja."

I nodded, "Yeah...but life still has value. And like you said, in this world of ninjas, eventually people will forget that value. That's why they need stories like this. Su

unrealistic, but he is exactly the kind of hero people need to look up to. To know that justice needn't come from...killing."

The man sighed, "You're young, you don't understand the world yet. But...that doesn't change the fact that it's a good book." I grinned as he continued, "I'm very

in publishing this book, and any other sequels you have in mind….you do have something in mind yes? You can't just leave this as it is."

I nodded, "I do have an idea. But...it's kind of unique."

The man sighed, "Fine, whatever," he walked away to the door, "I'll bring the official contract over tomorrow night. Be ready to sign it."

"I'm going to actually read it first."

The man nodded, "As you wish. Good night Yami," he looked over my shoulder at Naruto, his eyes softening, "Naruto."

The door shut behind him and I turned to Naruto, "What did you say to him?"

Naruto blinked, "What do you mean?"

"In the morning he hated your guts, but now, he kind of seems….nice?"

Naruto shrugged, "I don't know what you mean. He came by an hour ago. We just sat here and waited for you."

I groaned at this brat. If I was to guess he probably has a +20 REP bonus to everyone he talks to for more than ten minutes. No wonder he turns enemies into allie

nothing.

We had dinner, which I cooked;

Not bad, maybe I can actually use this for something. Anyway, after that Naruto went to bed, I waited until I heard him snore before climbing out of bed and sat by

which Naruto told me I could use for whatever I want. I hadn't really set it up for anything yet.

First thing's first. I took out the skill scroll and opened it up;

Ping!

You have obtained a skill scroll!

Would you like to learn it?

Y/N?

I quickly selected yes and watched as the scroll disappeared giving me the knowledge of the jutsu;

Spiral Flame jutsu, B-rank

The user takes in a giant gulp of air before spewing it out as a spiraling cloak of flames that lunges forward.

CP cost- 150 CP (Additional CP can be added)

DMG- 600 (+25 DMG for every 50 CP)

Okay...so basically I can never use this jutsu. Well, at least I level up some more. Dammit! I so wanted to use this fucking thing! Sigh, such is life.

Still, I have to say, it does some amazing damage. Totally worth the CP cost. This makes it two fire affinity jutsu I have, hmm, I wonder if I have a fire affinity? Tha

sense. Maybe I should buy some chakra paper tomorrow.

So with that in mind, I took out my notebook and writing set. I walked out of the apartment and approached a nearby tree plucking a few leaves. I sat down, activ

concentration exercise, and began to work on my kanji. I really needed to get this shit down!

The next day after school Naruto and I played for a while, though I really wasn't into it. Afterwards we went our separate ways. Naruto for some ramen while I dec

I walked into the merchant district and looked for the fanciest ninja wear shop I could find. It took me a while, but I found a shop called 'Steel Blood' at the end of

I stepped inside and found rows upon rows of ninja weapons and other tools behind a counter near the back. And in front were racks of clothes, ninja grade I'm gu

"Oye kid," I looked over finding a thin man with long blonde hair and a short French beard behind the counter looking at me with a raised eyebrow, "Can I help you

really need to grow up!

I stopped before the man, "Ah, I would like some kunai, shuriken, ninja wire, and...Oh, some fuinjutsu scrolls please."

The man blinked, "You in the academy kid?"

I nodded, "Yes."

"Which year?"

I knew this was a trick question. Technically all the items I asked for should only be used by a second-year student as that was when they even began weapons tra

"I'm in the second year," I told him.

"Oh really?" the man raised an eyebrow, "Then you wouldn't mind showing me the leaf concentration exercise."

I blinked, 'really? That's all I have to do?' Oh well, won't look a gift horse in the mouth. I took out a leaf I had on hand from last night and placed it on my forehead

chakra there as I looked at him, "This enough proof?"

The man narrowed his eyes at me and looked at the leaf, he waited 30 seconds, guess he expected me to drop it or something. Finally, at the one-minute mark, he

"Right, how many of those did you want?"

"Around 20 kunai, 15 shuriken, ah, twenty feet of ninja wire and around...ten scrolls?"

The man said nothing, working efficiently, and gave me all the requested items. The kunai was in a small pouch that looked to be of cheap quality. The shuriken po

bigger and would fit on my hip. The wire and scrolls were given to me in another bag.

"Your total is 1,000 Ryo."

I smiled, yup, money was way more important than kunai. Because it would probably get you even more kunai.

I gave the man the correct amount and walked out of the store with the shuriken and kunai all in the same bundle. I walked into an alley and quickly put the entire

inventory.

I stopped by the library on my way home that night to tell Misa that I was going to be published, she was so excited for me and warned me to make sure the fame

didn't go to my head. Which I'm sure it won't. Probably…

I went home that night and did the usual, cook, and clean up. I waited till Naruto fell asleep and this time instead of just working on my kanji, I used my chakra th

the task, thereby improving on that skill as well.

By morning it had leveled up once;

I didn't really do much the next day, just played with Naruto, since the boy was starting to feel left out. I wanted to show him the cool new tools I got, but I figured

asking questions I couldn't answer. So I decided to abstain from that action.

That night Baroma came around and we looked over his contract for me. It was pretty simple. He would publish everything I wrote if he deemed it good enough. H

would take care of advertising and distribution, but in return, I would have to depart with 35% of the money I made from the books, which doesn't include the pric

which if the books didn't sell I would have to pay out of pocket.

The last part was a dick move and I told him so. He and I argued about that point for a while before he agreed to remove that clause entirely after I threatened to

someone else to publish my work. Guess he really wanted the book.

We had to agree on a few other points, like the fact that he wanted me to work as a ghostwriter for some other asshole who was down on his luck but whose name

up in high regard.

I refused. The offer was tempting sure, if I became a ghostwriter I would face no risk and a lot of money, but I didn't want that. I wanted my own name on the cov

I demanded it. And begrudgingly the man agreed to my demands.

In the end, I did sign it, and he went home a happy man with the master copy of my book. I would have my name on the front cover, dark black letters on the cov

hand-drawn bat symbol I had illustrated as the cover.

It would take two months to print the copies apparently, but I was happy. This meant I would have a steady stream of money I could use, which can also serve as

anyone who wonders why an orphan has so much cash! It's a triple win baby!

I treated Naruto to ramen that night to celebrate, the kid was so happy I was making some money, he claimed I could buy us any toy we wanted, which was true.

That night Naruto was in a food coma and I decided it was time I went dungeon crawling again.

I snuck out and went to the park, stopping before the blue glowing leaf symbol. I took out my weapons first. I strapped the shuriken pouch on my pant belt while t

around my right thigh. I also put on the forearm bands and even took a few of those fang daggers and hid them around my person, just in case.

I then touched the blue leaf symbol and immediately a menu came up;

Ping

You have discovered a natural dungeon! Would you like to go inside?

Y/N

Dungeon, Lv- 1

Dungeon, Lv- 2

Hmm, two options okay, the first dungeon has Rattata and Meowth's with the rare Growlithe spawn. The second dungeon was a mystery but it could hold better loo

EXP. But...I need to get used to fighting Pokémon, plus maybe I can train Growlithe as well!

Right, my mind made up I selected the first level dungeon and immediately found myself in the forest once more. I looked around and nodded, "Pokémon menu!"

The menu opened up before me showing my only Pokémon, Flamer. I selected it and immediately a Pokeball appeared in my hand. I grinned and threw the ball, "G

A white light came out as the puppy Pokémon appeared before me. I smiled as it yipped looking around before spotting me and rushing to my side. It barked cutel

its tail, I smiled as I bent down and scratched it behind the ear, pleasing the dog.

It's funny, the last time it saw me I was stabbing it in the back with daggers, guess it really did forget once it entered the Pokeball.

"Alright Flamer, are you ready for some training?" I asked.

"Growl!" it cried out.

Just then the bushes began to rustle as a Rattata came out, spotting Growlithe and immediately began charging.

'It's on!' I realized as I jumped back, "Growlithe! Dodge and use tackle!"

The Pokémon obeyed as it jumped away from the Rattata before tackling it to the ground. I reached around into my shuriken pouch and flung one at the Pokémon

metal star to cut into its side, though I was aiming for its head. Guess shuriken do not work the same way as kunai.

4 DMG!

And for only four points of damage, damn that's bad. I looked at the Rattata;

HP- 36/50

"Flamer! Ember!" I cried out.

"Growlithe!" the Pokémon cried out sending out a small fire blast that lights the rat's tail on fire;

HP- 16/50

'Nice,' I reached for my kunai holster and took one out throwing it at the rat. This time the weapon flew true and hit it right in the head;

Ping!

Critical Strike!

25 DMG!

HP- 0/50

The Pokémon died on the spot. I smiled, "Good job Flamer!" The Pokémon growled happily. I opened his status and looked at his EXP seeing if he gained anything;

Flamer EXP: 5/1000

Hmm, so he got half the EXP from the Rattata, which means I probably got half since I assisted. So maybe I shouldn't help anymore until he can properly level up.

"Alright Flamer, for the next one I want you to handle it on your own okay?" I told the dog Pokémon as I picked up my ninja tools and the loot, one pelt and one fa

"Growlithe!" he cried out in agreement.

"Right," I quickly climbed a tree, grumbling as I had to bend at an odd angle to reach the branches. I so need to learn the tree walking exercise. I sat there and wa

looking at me funny. I sighed and shooed him away, the Pokémon was confused but obeyed my order.

I looked at my map and found around…..fifty enemies on it, with no giant red dot which would indicate a boss. Meaning we had to defeat enough opponents before

on. I watched as two dots came towards us, "Get ready!"

Flamer startled as suddenly two more Rattata came running out, charging at him. He growled and waited, I called out, "Dodge, tackle, and ember!"

"Growl!" it cried out as executed the maneuver, managing to burn one Rattata while the other escaped. That rat then tried to charge my Pokémon from the back, b

from me cut straight into its brain, stopping it right in its tracks.

Ping!

Critical Strike!

55 DMG!

I watched as Flamer slowly beat down the other Rattata until its HP came down to zero. And then only loot remained. I smiled from my hidden position. This was g

Flamer and I went around the forest, the Pokémon behaving marvelously in battle. I had him take on every Pokémon in the forest and if they tried to double team

there to help make sure he survived.

My kunai and stealth skills improved;

Kunai techniques, Lv- 8 (39%)

Your ability to handle a kunai accurately.

Accuracy- 46%

Bonus- 5% to DMG

Stealth, Lv- 8 (2%)

Your ability to hide in plain sight is crucial for being a ninja.

Chances of not getting spotted- 20%

For stronger opponents, -2% for each level they surpass you

And I finally got a skill for handling shuriken;

Shuriken techniques, Lv- 2 (90%)

Your ability to handle shuriken accurately.

Accuracy- 25%

Bonus- 1% to DMG

Obviously, I was better at handling kunai. I kept to the shadows most of the time and let Growlithe fight most of the battles. He was really good with the Meowths,

sense since he was a dog and they were cats.

At the end of the long grinding session, I ended up with 21 Rattata fangs along with 45 pelts, 6 of which I used to make fang daggers. Meaning I now had 20 fang

And with Flamer doing so much of the fighting I now had a lot of free time. I could now spend it actually looking around the forest, searching for any random loot it

search paid off.

Hidden in the trunk of a tree was a blue spray bottle, I immediately recognized it;

Potion

Spray directly on an injury to cure it. Regenerates 200 HP.

YES! I got a Pokémon loot item! Oh, I can't wait to find a rare candy! I could use it to automatically level up! But...if I took this long to find a simple potion, I can o

how much time a rare candy would take to find.

I also gained 7 gold coins from the Meowths and happened upon another fake tattoo, this one again I put away for storage.

And of course, came the EXP points. Out of the fifty opponents we faced, 32 were Rattata and the other 18 were Meowths. I helped with most of the Rattata since

currently a little too fast for Flamer. But the Meowths the guy could handle himself, with a few exceptions.

Growlithe ended up with 745 EXP points while I got 475 EXP. Not a bad haul for the day.

Sweet! I barely did any work. Growlithe got in a lot of training and I still leveled up! Fucking awesome!

With all the small-time Pokémon that were taken care of, Flamer and I now turned to the boss of this level, which was another Growlithe, one with the same base s

Pokémon, so Flamer couldn't do this fight alone.

We waited while I used the same methods to draw it out of the cave and cast a genjutsu on it. The Pokémon began to act like a mad man, growling and scratching

recognized this tactic and knew to wait until the thing was knocked out. The moment that happened Flamer started to move, but I stopped him. He looked at me c

smiled, "I want to try something here."

The Pokémon watched as I opened my jutsu list and pulled up the Great Fireball jutsu. It cost 50 CP to cast, and with my new 36% control rate, I can use now up t

'Great Fireball jutsu!' I thought as I forced all the air out. The moment it left my lips it was ignited, turning bright red as a large fireball came flying out startling Fla

The Fireball hit the unconscious Growlithe bathing it in flames;

Ping!

Due to the fiery nature of the enemy, the effectiveness of fire jutsu has been reduced by half!

Ping!

Critical Strike!

1000 DMG!

I grinned, even though the jutsu had been reduced to half its total damage potential, my stealth and critical bonus more than made up for it.

I smiled as the flames slowly died out revealing the scorched ground where the Pokémon once was, nothing left behind except three loot items.

"Growlithe," Flamer said in awe as he looked at me. I smirked at him and I saw his REP score go from 0 to 10. Guess he respects me a little now.

I ruffled his head and we walked out of the clearing. I quickly took the money and pokeball, now I could catch another Pokémon, maybe next time I should catch a

The fireproof pelt was very important, if I can somehow make leather armor using this and the rare cut fur pelt, I would have a pretty sweet set of armor.

I made my way back home and spent the night asleep, funny thing, just because I didn't need to sleep didn't mean I didn't want to. And after a long mentally exha

this, I wanted all the rest I could get.

The next day I went to Steel Blood weapons shop again and took my fur pelts, not the special kind, I would first need to test and see if this guy could make some a

I walked in and found Hikaru serving another customer, a couple with a child that had her face plastered onto the weapons counter staring in awe at all the weapon

saw the girl's name and wasn't surprised;

Tenten Higurashi, Weapon lover

Lv- 8

REP- 0

I scoffed, even at this age she loves sharp pointy things. I waited in the back while they finished. And Looked through a few clothes I could eventually wear. When

I approached Hikaru with the pelts, "Hey."

The man looked down at the odd purple and white fur pelts I had in hand, "What do you want kid?"

"Can you turn this fur into leather?" I asked putting the pelts onto the counter.

The man looked at it and then me, "It'll cost you 1,000 Ryo. Each."

My eyes went wide, "A thousand ryo?! For making leather?!"

The man shrugged, "It would be a custom order, stuff like that's expensive. If you don't like it, do it yourself."

And then it hit me, of course, I'll just do it myself! I had a crafting skill, didn't I? I took the pelts back and left, heading directly for the library. I returned the books

on kanji and grabbed the one on leatherworking and smithing. It was a huge book that had both, and the moment I touched it;

Ping!

You have obtained a skill book!

Would you like to learn it?

Y/N?

I couldn't say yes, obviously. So instead I got the book and author's name and went to a bookstore and bought my own copy. Five hundred ryo lighter I walked out

which I then quickly learned;

Ping!

You have unlocked a crafting skill!

Tanning- Helps convert fur into leather.

Ping!

You have unlocked a crafting skill!

Iron Forging- Allows the crafting of iron tools.

Crafting, Lv- MAX

Your ability to make an object using the raw materials at hand.

Recipes known:

Fang dagger

Leather Tanning

Iron Forging

Okay, now this is cool. I immediately took out a pelt and touched the tanning option on the crafting menu. However;

Ping!

You cannot craft leather without using the appropriate items needed for tanning!

Seriously?! Just when I just thought things were going my way! The amount of machinery needed to tan leather was phenomenal! I can't just fucking build a tanne

Maybe...no, won't ever work.

I sighed, so now I need to find a tanning place that would let me use its tools, sounds perfect. I looked around the village and found the closest tannery was near t

the village, outside the giant walls.

I told the owner I just wanted to see around and the man refused, so I had to pay him a thousand ryo for that privilege. He didn't ask any questions.

I went inside and looked around, finding the first contraption needed for leather crafting, the lime baths. I approached it and immediately a menu popped open;

Tanning:

Materials available:

80 fur pelts

1 rare cat fur pelt

1 fireproof pelt

I selected a single fur pelt and suddenly the pelt disappeared from my inventory and instead in its place a leather sheet, perfectly square, around 10 inches in leng

perfect.

I then turned my attention to the two special pelts I had, I choose to use the fireproof pelt first, just in case it lost its property when tanning. I didn't want to risk lo

STR bonus from the rare cat fur pelt.

And instantly I got a brand new leather sheet, 15 inches in length and it still had its properties! I nearly squealed in joy seeing the menu say that!

Ping!

Your skill has leveled up!

Observation, Lv-5 (1%)

Learn more about an object or person by observing them.

Kind of random, but okay. I quickly converted most of my remaining pelts into leather sheets and the rare cat fur into leather as well. I walked out of the tannery s

owner couldn't fathom why because as far as he knew I just stood there for five minutes poking the air.

Now I needed to make these into a useable armor piece and for that, I decided to go to the leather smith I knew was across from the tannery and asked the man i

whether he could make items with the leather I had. Luckily, he could.

It cost me 10,000 Ryo but I think in the end it was worth it. I had the man make the rare cat fur into a large cowl with a removable face mask and hood. I had him

adjustable since I would eventually grow up and I intend to be using this thing for as long as possible.

The fireproof leather on the other hand I asked to be made into vambraces with a detachable metal plate covering my forearm. The leather straps holding it togeth

easily replaced if needed.

In the end, he promised to have it all ready in a month's time, which was just fine with me.

The funny thing is that to an eight-year-old kid, time just seems to flies by you when you blink. I spent most days in school forced to listen to the boring old lecture

outside with Naruto, who honestly became less and less like a character I admire and someone who seems like a good friend to me.

By the end of the first school year, his REP score reached 83, the highest I've ever seen on someone. We became close, like brothers. People used to say where the

goes the shadow is forced to follow...or something like that. I honestly didn't mind, it was fun goofing off from time to time with the guy, helped me keep my mind

serious.

My book finally managed to get printed and began distribution, people were skeptical at first but soon almost everyone in the village had at least heard about or ha

book, 'The Batman', I wanted to call it Batman Begins, but my editor was an ass about that.

Either way now that I was published I gained a new title:

Author- +20 REP with people who admire your work and are aware you're the author

That last part was important as not many people knew I was the writer. Based on Baroma's suggestion I decided to keep my name out of the books, putting it unde

Stan Lee. Hehe, in this world Stan Lee created Batman, the irony is thick.

So finally I have a steady stream of cash incoming, a projected monthly deposit of 120 thousand ryo every month based on book sales. I had all of it in the bank, w

would be my white money, the money that I legally earned. The money I gained via my gaming ability would be my black money, money no one knows about.

By the fifth month, I had more than enough cash to buy my own place. I found a cheap three-bedroom and two-bathroom place near the Inuzuka clan compound.

since the ninja dogs from the Inuzuka clan kept barking at all hours of the night.

I bought it for 500 thousand easy and then spent another hundred grand furnishings the place. I had one room for myself and the other for Naruto. The third room

as a workroom, but since Naruto would never use it unless he was pulling off a high-profile prank that needed planning and preparation, I used it mainly as my ow

Naruto's face when I told him I had gotten my own place was priceless. He looked like someone had gotten him a puppy, gave it to him long enough for him to fall

and then killed it.

He seriously thought I was going to leave him. Moron, when I told him I expected him to come with me he actually cried. Idiot, like I would ever leave him behind.

Naruto had talked with the Hokage and got it approved. The man gave us his blessing and also reduced Naruto's pocket money by half since he no longer needed t

man's REP score grew to 38. I guess it was because I took Naruto in and treated him right the Hokage thought I was a good person. Which I totally am.

The day we moved in however I noticed a few people lurking about, mostly Inuzuka ninjas looking at us from their compound wall, which was the first thing you sa

looked out of our second-story window. But there were also people with the title 'ANBU' looking at us. Really creepy shit.

I'm guessing Naruto's change in location warranted the surveillance, and because of this, I needed to make sure any gamer-related activity I did was done without

had enough trouble to deal with. Having to explain my gaming powers was not one I'd like to add.

For the first few weeks, I had to sneak around with the utmost care. By the third month I was used to it, and by the fifth month, I had their patrol patterns memor

saying something when the only thing way I knew about their location was by observing the floating words and numbers over their heads.

But on the bright side, by the end, my stealth had gotten a major upgrade!

Stealth, Lv- 27 (8%)

Your ability to hide in plain sight is crucial for being a ninja.

Chances of not getting spotted- 56%

For stronger opponents, -2% for each level they surpass you

Not bad for over two years' worth of sneaking around. It wasn't higher simply because of the fact that I could only be sneaky during nighttime. I was building a pro

quiet and smart. I don't want to give any observing ninja the idea there is more to me than meets the eye.

Speaking of training, though my schedule was now almost always jam-packed, I made a promise with myself to train in the natural dungeon at least once every we

went on I found myself sticking to that promise religiously.

I made sure to only use the first level for the first few months so that I would be well prepared for whatever that might be in the second dungeon. Because of this,

average of 40 Pokémon weekly, fighting them by mainly using Growlithe as my main attack force while I provided long-range support. Though a few times I did ge

involved to improve my taijutsu.

This resulted in Growlithe leveling up scary fast. He grew to level 10 by the time we were done with the first-level natural dungeons. He didn't gain any new attack

the sort, but he did grow much quicker since I put a majority of his stats towards his dexterity. We use cookies. By using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and accept our Cookies (/cookies/) & Privacy (/privacy/) Policies. Accept

By then I decided it was finally time to catch a second Pokémon. I decided to catch another Growlithe, this one I named Blaze. Blaze was a female and so Flamer s

look at her as someone to protect. With a second Pokémon added to my party I moved on to the next level natural dungeon because frankly, I was starting to get b

just rats and cats.

In the end, I got around 672 pelts, which I turned into leather. There was the same number of fangs which I turned into fang daggers so that rounded up to around

quickly began to use them as my main weapons to save up on kunai metal.

But a strange thing occurred, as I continued to train in that dungeon, the number of gold coins I came across went down drastically. I end up with only 25 coins at

five-month period.

Whatever, at least I got 10 pokeballs, 20 potions, and one paralyze heal out of this;

Paralyze heal, E class item

Removes the paralyzed status from the target.

The next level came as a surprise for me. It was still a forest setting, but this time it was filled with bug-type Pokémon.

Caterpie, Weedle, Metapod, Kakuna, Beedrill, and Butterfree. The difficulty was raised up a bit as the weakest Pokémon there was level 5 and the strongest was lev

level 5 gave 100 EXP and the level 10's gave 400 EXP.

The boss of this level was a Scyther. I tried my best to catch it. But because of how...effective Flamer and Blaze were I didn't have anything to catch, stupid fire-ty

Although I did gain 800 EXP from it, so that's nice.

Our next time in the dungeon however we did manage to catch the damn bug type! I named it Cutter and began to train with it as well.

Every trip through the second dungeon level gains me an average of 8,000 EXP. This gave everyone some decent EXP. But the real highlight was all the juicy loot it

got around a hundred vials of poison from Weedle.

Weedle Poison, D class item

Poison was obtained from Weedle, the needle Pokémon. Poison will cause -5 HP every second until the opponent faints. The effect lasts for 3 minu

I also got a lot of silk from Caterpie, like several yards of it.

Silk string, D class item

String made by Caterpie. Can be used as a substitute for ninja wire.

Beedrill of course gave me special honey along with its lancing pincers.

Beedrill honey, C class item

Honey that grants +50 HP

Beedrill lances, E class item

The lance Beedrill has attached to its arms.

DMG- 2

The last one was useless. I never even kept a single lance. Butterfree gave me two types of powder, sleep powder and paralyzing powder.

Sleep powder, E class item

Powder obtained from Butterfree that will cause an opponent to fall asleep for 5 minutes.

Paralyzing powder, E class item

Powder obtained from Butterfree that will paralyze an opponent for 5 minutes.

And the few Scyther drops I did manage to get gave me a lot of green exoskeleton plates for armor plating.

Scyther plates, C class item

The hardened exoskeleton of a Scyther which can withstand a significant amount of cutting damage.

Durability- 300/300

Plus I got around 300 thousand ryo, not that I cared much for money at this point. And in the start of my second year at the Academy, I found myself leading the c

academics as well as ninja abilities. Sasuke didn't like that I was at the top of the class Because of this he and I constantly used to butt heads.

But as I mentioned, time began to fly past me without me realizing it. The second year went by even faster than the first as now I actually did have something to l

in school, mainly fuinjutsu training!

Fuinjutsu, Lv- 38 (83%)

The art of making seals using paper and ink.

Success rate- 76%

Maximum difficulty range- B class seals

We had a special class in the Academy for fuinjutsu, mainly teaching students how to make sealing scrolls or explosive tags. Nothing too dangerous as we were nev

I worked on sealing for the past two years and got pretty good at it. Any seal I created automatically went under the crafting menu with its various recipes, so the

I hid most of my talent in it, for obvious reasons. I didn't want people to know how good I really was, or else people would start to take notice and I wasn't ready f

The beginning of the third year also meant the beginning of ninja survival training, not a bad thing to do. We spent a ton of time outside in the forest camping out.

The blonde was...difficult at times. He kept falling asleep in class, didn't listen to the teachers, and even once tried to start a food fight! ARGH!

At the beginning of the second year, I found out his marks were so bad he barely passed. He failed the written portion, but the physical side got him passed the lim

technically speaking, he still failed.

So I took it upon myself to make sure that never happened again. I began to tutor him. Yes, it bites into my training time, but I couldn't help it. No friend of mine w

a moron!

This did earn me a new skill;

Teaching, Lv- 22 (89%)

Your ability to teach a concept to another individual or group.

Ability to teach a well understood subject- +44%

+20% bonus if INT is greater than student

Meh, it was okay I guess. Two years of teaching and I only got this far, not worth it, trust me. But on the plus side, I finally got Naruto interested in fuinjutsu. I had

with ramen, but it was worth it. The kid took to it like fish to water.

He wasn't a great seal master, not even close. I still had to teach him a thing or two, but man if he wasn't being quick about it. Soon he could probably surpass me

Thus two years flew by and with it the time I spent training also reduced significantly. Since I had to split my time between school, Naruto, and writing my novels.

Oh! On a side note, Stan Lee is now the number one fantasy writer in the Elemental Nations, and his last book, 'The Man of Steel' was apparently so popular in Kum

lightning, their Raikage took to calling himself by the same name.

A little narcissistic if you ask me, but whatever. During my third year in the academy, I announced the third book to my 'Justice' collection. It was called 'Wonder W

Women have been pre-ordering it like crazy, a female lead character was apparently really rare here, guess some things never change. I made a ton of money alre

book is set to release when I begin my third year at the academy.

And all around the country, people have been asking, 'Just who is Stan Lee? He's a genius!' Hehe, now I'm beginning to wish I used my own name instead.

At the beginning of my second year, I started the third level natural dungeon, which unlocked after I completed the second level the first time around.

This time the setting wasn't a forest, but instead, it was a valley set between two mountains. The valley was covered with tall grass and water streams. The Pokém

were...amazing to say the least.

I found Geodudes and Nidorans, both the male and female variety. It was a….different dungeon.

The rock-type Pokémon were difficult to handle since most of my jutsu at the time were fire-based and I had two fire-type Pokémon. It took me a lot of broken dag

fists to defeat a single Geodude who was at level 15.

So I decided to be a little smarter about it. I first caught a male Nidoran, since it was a fighting type and they would be strong against rock and ground types. I na

accurate, I know. I then took King and began to train him back in the second-level dungeon, grinding to raise his level.

I took him back into the third-level dungeon and kicked some freaking ass!

King was amazing! The way he moved was like watching a ballet, double kicks all around. Every time we encountered a Geodude, King and I would double team th

gained sweet EXP while he did all the work.

I used Cutter, Flamer, and Blaze to fight off the wild Nidorans so they too managed to gain some EXP. And finally, when we cleared enough of them, the boss arrive

Oh, I definitely had to catch that. It was a deadly battle. I nearly got crushed to death! But...but...we won. Flamer managed to place an exploding tag underneath

causing a big enough explosion for it to get knocked back and had its HP reduced to 5. I was lucky that we didn't accidentally kill the thing. Two pokeballs later and

began to call him Basher, kind of accurate since he liked head-butting things a lot.

All throughout the second year, I would grind in the third level dungeon. I trained my Pokémon hard. And in return, we got a ton of loot!

From Geodude we got precious stones, like rubies, sapphires, and other such gems. I sold almost all of them, granting me a nice amount of cash on hand, over 3 m

among those precious stones was one exceptionally important one.

Moonstone, A class item

A stone that harnesses the power of the moon to level up certain Pokémon.

During training, King leveled up to level 16, causing him to evolve for the very first time! This gave me a Nidorino. And immediately after that, I used the moonsto

evolve into its last form, Nidoking! Apparently evolving a Pokémon allowed it to level up five times.

Fuck yeah! King was quickly becoming my favorite Pokémon!

I also got a few poison jars from the Nidorans in the wild along with some material to create daggers. But I never really bothered with it as the poison powder I ha was better

And then came drops from Onix, which gave me all kinds of metals. Mostly normal metals like iron and steel, but it also gave me a rare kind of metal.

Chakra metal ore,

Metal that enhances chakra channeled through it.

That was fucking cool and you better believe I had my own chakra trench knives made similar to the ones Asuma uses. It wasn't easy though, I had to first learn m

understand how to make an ore usable. But luckily for me, Chakra metal was such a popular subject there were plenty of materials to look through.

Chakra metal trench knife, A-class items

Trench knife made out of Chakra metal.

DMG: 30

These quickly became my go to weapons, since they were actually good. I had more ore left over, so I decided to make a few more, creating five knives in total. Th

were...beautiful. I still had some chakra metal leftover, I decided to keep it for a rainy day.

So with these knives and my Pokémon, I became a force to be reckoned with in combat. I cleared the third level many times over. The EXP I gained from the thirdwas good, 450 from level 15's and 800 from the Onix boss. I gained over three hundred thousand for my troubles which resulted in my Pokémon leveling up major

system!

And also, the moment my CC stat crossed 50, I gained my very first perk!

Chakra Regenerator- Chakra regeneration time is reduced by half.

My regeneration rate was around 32% per minute, pretty decent if I do say so myself. But with this perk reducing the time my regeneration time by half, meaning
