Chapter 4 - Chapter 004

Naruto had to restrain himself from jumping up and down and cheering. He checked his status again and his LUK stat was still '?'. So either it was really high or negative if it could go negative for that matter. What the hell does LUK do for him anyway?

Naruto tapped the '?' symbol in the top left corner of his Status window. Instantly several small boxes appeared in black with yellow writing and yellow lines were drawn pointing to each area of the status window.

LUK: Luck is the chance of an event falling in your favor in non-combat actions. This impacts mostly gambling and loot drops.

Naruto nodded before looking at the other stats.

STR: Strength effects how much damage your physical and weapon attacks deal and how much damage your ability to parry reduces. Speed is increased 0.25 when both STR and DEX increase by 1 if equal.

VIT: Vitality impacts your total HP and endurance. The more vitality you have the more damage you can take and the longer you can fight. This also impacts how quickly you recover HP while not in combat.

DEX: Dexterity effects how effectively you can dodge attacks and how accurate your own attacks are. Speed is increased 0.25 when both STR and DEX increase by 1 if equal.

INT: Intelligence impacts your total CP, how quickly your CP recovers and how much damage your jutsu cause. The also impacts your ability to learn and memorize information.

WIS: Wisdom affects how smart you are and how well you can use what you know. This has a massive impact on your Chakra Control.

Status: Throughout the game you can acquire and unveil any number of status effects both temporary (i.e. Stun, Sleep, etc.) and permanent (i.e. Sharingan, Hyouton, etc.). Some permanent effects can only be gained through genetics while others require specific actions.

Title: Earn your title and gain varied and sometimes beneficial titles throughout the game.

Naruto couldn't help but sigh. It was a lot of information for him to process. Naruto closed the menu and tried to pay attention to the lecture but quickly zoned out as he daydreamed about all the kickass things he could do with his new gamer ability.

"Okay, students, please read this booklet and then we'll head out to the practice range to work on kunai and shuriken bukijutsu," said Iruka.

Mizuki then began passing out the booklets to each of the students.

"Why do we have to read this again?" complained Kiba. "Every year we get this damned booklet."

"Because every year we like to refresh our students so they don't get sloppy or lazy in their technique," said Iruka, his glare quickly silencing the Inuzuka boy.

Naruto sighed as he looked at the booklet in front of him. He grabbed the book and made to open it when a new pop up appeared.

You've obtained the skill book [Kunai and Shuriken Bukijutsu].

Would you like to learn the skill?

Naruto nearly tore his hair out at this. He knew how to throw damned Shuriken and Kunai. What the fuck was wrong with this game?

Naruto tapped the 'Confirm (Y)' just to see what would happen. The book going up in fire and smoke was not ideal and earned him glares from both Mizuki and Iruka.

You've obtained the skill 'Kunai Bukijutsu' and 'Shuriken Bukijutsu'.

Two large orange windows popped up a moment later.

[Kunai Bukijutsu (Passive/Active) Lv1 Exp: 0.00% CP: 5]

Weapon's technique specific to Kunai usage in both melee and ranged combat.

Passively increases kunai accuracy 10%

Passively increases kunai parry 10%

Additional 10% increase for 15 seconds in STR when active.

[Shuriken Bukijutsu (Passive/Active) Lv1 Exp: 0.00% CP: 5]

Weapon's technique specific to Shuriken usage in ranged combat.

Passively increases shuriken accuracy 20%

Additional 5% increase in ranged damage for 15 seconds when active.

"Nice one, Naruto," shouted Kiba, laughing heartily.

Naruto though was wide eyed. "It was an accident, I swear." He didn't know that would happen. He really didn't.

Iruka glared and threw another booklet at Naruto nailing him right between the eyes.

You've obtained the skill book [Kunai and Shuriken Bukijutsu].

This skill has already been learned. Cannot learn again.

Naruto glared at the pink warning closing it and setting the book on the desktop opening it to give the appearance he was reading it. Then it occurred to him that he'd learned the whole book instantly. He also learned that based on the book he'd been throwing kunai and shuriken wrong for years now. Apparently someone decided to teach him incorrectly years ago.

Naruto sat in his seat now glaring at the booklet and grumbling to himself about pranking Shugo-sensei so hard he'd never be able to show himself in public again.

"Okay, class, let's go outside and get to work on refreshing those bukijutsu skills," said Iruka, allowing the students to close their booklets only too happily.

Outside the group all stood in front of five target dummies, six people per line.

"Now, you will step to the line and throw five kunai then ten shuriken. After that, go to the end of your line. Everyone will get five chances to throw. We will take your best round for your grade," explained Iruka, a gold '?' appearing over his head a moment later.
