Yes – No

"What?" shouted Naruto, quickly tapping the yes and beginning to sprint for the academy. He barely glanced at the large timer that began to count down in his peripheral vision.

Naruto barely slid into the classroom with twenty seconds left.

You've barely arrived before the start of class.

Completion Awarded: 100 Exp and +5 to reputation with Konoha Twelve.

Naruto would have paid more attention if he wasn't huffing and puffing from having sprinted halfway across Konoha to make it to class on time. Granted he recovered very quickly but damn that was difficult. Naruto finally looked at the messages and accepted but couldn't help wondering who the hell the 'Konoha Twelve' were and why he gained reputation with them or why it was even important.

Naruto sat down finally with a huff looking around and seeing that all of his classmates had the same blue lettering above their heads with their names and levels. It didn't make him happy either. As he looked around he noticed that most of the students were between levels 3-6 with the exception of eight of his classmates.

Haruno Sakura Lvl 7

Yamanaka Ino Lvl 7

Hyuuga Hinata Lvl 8

Nara Shikamaru Lvl 8

Akimichi Chouji Lvl 8

Inuzuka Kiba Lvl 9

Aburame Shino Lvl 9

Uchiha Sasuke Lvl 12

Naruto wanted to cry out and scream in frustration. They were all so much better than him, even the object of his affection. How could it have been possible that they were all so much stronger than he was?

Naruto began to [Observe] each of them in turn only serving to frustrate him further.

Haruno Sakura – Academy Student – Lvl 7

HP: 100 (100) CP: 50

Haruno Sakura is the smartest student in class. Though very intelligent she is not very physically gifted. She pines after Uchiha Sasuke and is bitter rivals with Yamanaka Ino for 'Sasuke-kun's affections.

Naruto growled after that one.

Yamanaka Ino – Academy Student – Lvl 7

HP: 100 (100) CP: 100

Yamanaka Ino is a member of the famed Yamanaka clan known for their mind techniques. She is quite vain placing too much value on looks instead of her skills. She pines after Uchiha Sasuke and is bitter rivals with Haruno Sakura for 'Sasuke-kun's affections.

Naruto actually almost snickered when he saw the last line mirrored Sakura's.

Hyuuga Hinata – Academy Student – Lvl 8

HP: 150 (150) CP: 100

Hyuuga Hinata is a member of the elitist Hyuuga clan known for their doujutsu and unique taijutsu style. She is a very sweet girl but very shy so not well known by her classmates. She finds the strength to improve from watching the person she most admires.

Naruto couldn't help but smile at that. Hinata sounded awesome, he made a mental note to try to get to know her a bit this year.

[Observe]'s level has risen by one.

"Already," mumbled Naruto. "Let's see what this does."

Nara Shikamaru – Academy Student – Lvl 8

HP: 100/100

CP: 150/150

STR: 7

VIT: 10

DEX: 11

INT: 15

WIS: 35

LUK: 3

Nara Shikamaru is a member of the famed Nara clan known for their intellect and laziness. The unique ability to manipulate shadows makes them rather versatile shinobi. Shikamaru is by far the smartest Nara born in many generations and in turn is also the laziest.

"Damn, Shikamaru is smart," Naruto said in appreciation, earning a glance from the 'sleeping' Nara from a few seats over. Naruto smiled nervously at the look but was able to laugh it off.

Shikamaru admittedly was curious but decided to shrug it off mumbling "Troublesome" as he turned his head back and closed his eyes once more.

Naruto would have continued scanning the rest of the class but his teachers chose that moment to enter.

Thankfully he had Umino Iruka again as a teacher. His assistant was new though.

Umino Iruka – Academy Instructor – Lvl 25

Touji Mizuki – Academy Assistant Instructor – Lvl 22

Naruto was starting to like the names above their heads. This time though he noticed there was a leaf symbol next to their names.

Umino Iruka – Academy Instructor – Lvl 25

Affiliation: Konoha

HP: 1000/1000

CP: 750/750

STR: ?

VIT: ?

DEX: ?

INT: ?

WIS: ?

LUK: ?

Umino Iruka is a dedicated Academy Instructor finding his life fulfilled teaching the next generation of Shinobi.

Now Naruto found that odd. The data wasn't near as complete. It was similar to his level two of [Observe]. It must have been because Iruka's level was so much higher than his own. Naruto tried on Mizuki and the results were the same. It told him there was a limit to his ability while his own level was so low.

That raised several other questions. How could he level up? Was it only quests? For that matter what were his own stats? Then it occurred to him that if this was a game he should be able to get a command prompt of some kind right?

"Profile," he tried first. "Pause. Menu. Status-" the last one popped up an orange menu

"What the hell?" he grumbled.

"You need something, Naruto?" asked Iruka, how man was suddenly looking over his shoulder he had no idea.

"No, Iruka-sensei," said Naruto hoping the man would move on quickly.

"Then you can tell me what I just said?" asked Iruka.

"You introduced us to Mizuki-sensei?" asked Naruto, hoping he was really lucky.

"I guess you were paying attention," said Iruka moving on.

Your Luck holds out and you save yourself from detention on the first day of class causing your LUK to go up by 1.
