Konohagakure No Sato :
Konoha Academy :
" *tringgggg* "
" Alright Kids , Time's up "
Iruka Sensei announces the time and starts to collect the Exam Papers across the Room . Today is the final day of the Exams . Some kids groaned , some furiously started writing , some Gave up & some smirked .
Naruto takes one last look at his paper and waites for Iruka Sensei . Naruto Looks around to search for his friends and soon founds them .
Shino is also seated like him , on his finger there is a bug , shino seems to be communicating with it .
( .... I still can't read Shino )
Naruto soon focuses on others , Shikamaru seems asleep on his desk , Choji has already opened his chips to eat , Kiba is writing furiously while sweating .
( Shika always gets good marks , Choji should be ok too ........ Kiba should be able to pass .......probably ,...... let's look at the girls )
Naruto looks towards the girls and finds Sakura packing her bag with confidence , and Ino is looking back at him with a smile and posing a V sign .
Naruto smiles and gives her a thumbs-up
( well Ino has never had problems with studies )
After that Naruto focuses on Hinata , and notices that Hinata is looking at her paper worriedly , Looking at the Girl who is reviewing her paper , Naruto remembered the new year Resolution that he took
( I promised myself to talk to Hinata this year ............But it's already may now )
Looking at her Crush , Naruto felt losing all confidence , It's like The time when he was Teenager back on earth , Every single time Naruto encourages himself , Naruto fells into self-doubt and hesitation .
What if Hinata faints , What If she is scared , will she still like me even If I am changed , What if she doesn't like me anymore , What should I say to her , Isn't it better to talk later .
Plenty of Excuses comes to Naruto's Mind , excuses that make sense and the Excuses that don't make sense .
What If things go wrong , What If things are not the same as he expected , What if the New Naruto is not the same as Hinata likes
Naruto fears mishaps , He also doesn't want to take any risks , especially when It comes to Hinata.
( .......I cherish Her too much ........don't I )
Naruto looks at the girl , who is looking down nervously after Iruka Sensei took her paper . Naruto smiles bitterly at himself , and Decided to give himself a goal , just like new year
( .........I won't Give Up , .......Because This is my Ninja Way )
Naruto takes his gaze away from the Girl and looks at the OC Naruto's Crush This time , Uchiha Sasuke , who is already leaving the class with his bag .
Just Before Sasuke leves the door , He looks inside the class and focuses his black eyes on the only person worth his attention in this Class .
The Black Eyes meet the Blue Eyes and Sasuke pauses but leaves the classroom soon .
Naruto looks at Sasuke and sighs
( *haaaa* ......just what do I do with him )
Over the whole year Naruto has tried to talk to Sasuke , but every single time Sasuke turns him down Just like a Proud Uchiha .
Sasuke also can't be Found after Classes , Naruto was also busy with his own things and didn't try to search for him either .
( ....... well , I ain't chasing him like the OC Naruto )
Seeing Iruka finally coming at his desk , Naruto picks up the paper and hands it over . Iruka Sensei takes the paper and smiles at Naruto .
" How was it , Naruto "
" Good , Sensei "
" hmm "
Seeing Iruka sensei going away , Naruto also packs up his things and looks around , Ino seems to mingle with her Girl group , So Naruto waits for the Boys .
Soon everyone gathers and starts to head out while talking about the paper .
Naruto " How was it , Shika "
Shikamaru " ....good enough "
Kiba " Shikamaru says that , but he will definitely be in top 5 "
Choji " yeah yeah "
Shikamaru " My mom will butcher me , If I do less "
Kiba " Damn , My Mom and Sister are gonna beat me up "
Choji " I did Ok though , what about you Naruto-kun *crunch*crunch*
Naruto " I did good "
Kiba " .....damn , you topped mid terms last time , ain't no way it was just good "
Naruto " Haha , What about you , Shino "
Shino " Shouldn't be a problem "
Shino adjusted his black glasses and replies with a style . Soon they all reached the gates and parted ways , Naruto also heads out and soon reaches his apartment .
The Training with Hattori Sensei is suspended during these days because of the exams . Naruto enters his apartment and gets a greeting from Simba
" *yip*yip* "
" yo Simba , come ...!!! "
Naruto picks up the pup , In these two months Simba has also grown a little but not the same as other dogs .
( maybe because Simba is a Ninja Dog )
Naruto remembered that Ninja beasts have quite long lifespan and also long maturity time . Naruto visits the Ravens and Sadako . Seeing they are doing well Naruto puts down Simba and decided for a good lunch after the exams .
( A treat for myself )
Getting busy , Naruto gets busied inside the Kitchen , Simba goes to terrace and looks down at the street , Sadako fell asleep and the Ravens took a break and heads out in head in the sky .
While getting busy , Naruto looks at his panel , especially the new skills
--------------------------------
Acting Lv1 ( 85/100 ) - The art of portraying a character, embodying their emotions and story through voice, movement, and expression, to entertain or to Lie.
----------------------------------
Naruto signed-in at a Movie Theater and got this skill , When Naruto got this skill he was totally confused , Naruto remembered the skill mechanics that he found the previous times , like Clothing shop or Weapon store .
But This time while signing in at a Movie Theatre , Naruto got an Acting Skill , Naruto is still confused about this .
( .....I still didn't know enough about the system )
The Acting skill is the same as it sounds but this skill only levels up when Naruto acts or lies . Despite getting this skill just a month back , The skill is already near Level 2 .
---------------------------------
Seduction Lv1 ( 2/100 )- mastering interpersonal influence through charm, psychology, and non-verbal cues to create attraction and persuade others, often for romantic or sexual goals .
--------------------------------------
Naruto also visited the so-called 'Red Light District' , Naruto stumbled on that place during the day and decided to sign-in after wondering 'cluelessly' like a child .
The women there abducted him for a chat and only left him after kisses and hugs . Naruto was really 'confused' at that time and couldn't react to such show of affection .
Naruto has never beenn subjected to such affection by strangers , especially beautiful ones . The Blissful Naruto finally saw a new side of village that He personally approves .
( .....As long as you look , there is always light )
Naruto remembered that day and also the soft 'pillows' that he hugged that day . Naruto hands paused in the middle of the kitchen , but soon resumes again .
( maybe I should visit again......for research purposes only )
Naruto remembered watching and reading his previous life's Shippuden and other Fanfics , Naruto always thought village , civilian , Shinobi and Hokage as a wrong or maybe EVIL side .
But after wondering in the Village for just over a year , Naruto already found plenty of places that approve him . there are even more that don't care about anything and just spend their day in leisure .
The places are not too much , But for a Single Person , They are plenty , after all even if you are in a city , how many places do you visit regularly anyway .
( I hope things keep going good.......just like this )
Naruto looks at his other skill , and his eyes twitched a little
------------------------------------
Gambling Lv1 ( 52/100 ) - Risking money (or another item of value) on an event of uncertain outcome, with the possibility of gaining an increased return
--------------------------------
Naruto got this skill by signing in at a Gambling House , just like Chef and Blacksmith , it's a Life Skill and can be leveled Up . Naruto Gambled with Simba and Raven to increase this skill's experience .
It's pretty easy to level up , but somehow Naruto started losing in the last few games against Simba .
(........ A Dog who gambles and wins )
Even while losing , the Skill gains Exp.
Naruto now plays cards or other games with Ravens and Simba . The Bet is either meat or some treats .
Naruto doesn't play with Sadako , Sadako ignores him , And naruto feels like now She even Looks down on him , especially since Naruto lost to Simba.
Naruto remembered the small party at May 1 , just a week ago . May 1 was Choji's birthday and Naruto attended the party despite the exams going .
The Party was short and Homey .
==========================
Glutton ( Passive ) - A foodie , someone who habitually eats and drinks to excess ,You can eat more .
------------------------------------------
Naruto got this skill after visiting Akimichi Clan , Since Naruto got this skill his appetite has increased , and after some time Naruto noticed that not just his appetite but also his physical fitness is increasing faster too .
( If I didn't have Great Sage Skill , then I wouldn't have noticed it )
Naruto remembered the minimum but gradual extra increase , different from his usual daily gains . Naruto only got this skill 1 week ago so He still need to find more about this skill .
Remembering The Great Sage Skill , Naruto's mouth cuved up and He sits down on the Chair and finally starts his Lunch .
With the help of Great Sage skill , Naruto has already levelled his New Ninjutsu's to Level 2 . Previously The Basic 3 ninjutsu and other things took almost 6 months to level to their Max Level . Lv2 (100/100 )
( Now my leveling speed has increased )
With Great sage skill , that Naruto signed In every week in the Konoha Archives , Naruto's exp. gain has gained speed .
Even If Naruto sits down and analysis the Jutsu , he can make plans for the future development of the jutsu's . These plans also help in Exp. gain.
( it works on most things )
When under the Buff of Great Sage Skill , Naruto's mind works like a computer .
Not just Ninjutsu , there is also Taijutsu , studies revision , Fuinjutsu and even further modification of other Jutsus But Naruto has decided to master these jutsu's first and then focus on other things .
Naruto also visits the Archive Library , whenever he has time . These times mostly comes when Naruto signed in at Hot Springs and when the buff of Rejuvenation is over.
==========================
Comfort Sleep ( Buff Skill ) - a comfortable sleep
=========================
Another Skill that naruto got was Comfort Skill , Naruto got this skill from a Hotel . Hotel or Inns , all of them gave the same Buff skill . Their duration time differs but the skill is the same .
( ....well just a good night sleep ....? I still don't know how it will be useful in the future )
Naruto finishes his lunch and heads to Konoha Archives to use today's sign-in . Naruto is also curious about the other things inside the Archives .
----------------------------------------
Konoha Academy :
1 week later :
A week goes by and soon the results are out , and just as Naruto expected He placed first this year .
( A shame there is no award ceremony or something )
Naruto spends his day happily and soon meets Grandpa at his Apartment . After A little talk they Both head to the Konoha Archives . Proceeding towards a private room , The Hokage orders a catalogue for B-Rank Jutsu .
( even though my target is set but...... )
Naruto signed in the Great Sage skill and carefully reads the whole Catalogue . Naruto remembers the jutsu's and other things that may prove useful for his combat system .
( Unlike C or D-rank Jutsu's , The description of a B-Rank jutsu is quite detailed )
Naruto notices the usage summary of most jutsu is quite descriptive and they also explain a lot of things about a jutsu . Naruto concludes the reason for this
( ....since most B-rank jutsu's are for Jonins and Speacial Jonin ?? )
Naruto soon picks out his choice and shows it to the Hokage.
=============================
Rank : B-Rank Jutsu
Shadow Clone Jutsu
Nature - Non-attribute
Classification - Ninjutsu , Clone Techniques
Class - Supplementary
Usage Summary -
This jutsu allows the user to create one or more copies of themselves. The user's chakra is evenly divided between themselves and their clones . Shadow clones are indistinguishable from their original , even with Dojutsu .
Unlike the basic Clone Technique, shadow clones are physically real. They possess the same clothing, damage, and transformations as the user at the time of their creation .
Once created, Shadow clones can serve a number of purposes . They can be used as decoys by keeping opponents preoccupied , because they can't be told apart, they can also be used for concealing the original's identity.
Shadow clones can also be used simply to assist the user, joining the user for tactics they can't do alone or being sent to carry out tasks while the user is busy.
Shadow clones possess all the same memories as the user, and so will react to unforeseen obstacles just as the user would in the same circumstances. Because they have their own chakra, shadow clones can perform other jutsus , including making more shadow clones .
Shadow clones usually disperse once they are struck hard enough . When a clone's task is completed, it can disperse itself or be dispersed by its user. Once dispersed, the clone's experiences and remaining chakra are transferred back to the user .
The shared experiences make shadow clones useful for intelligence gathering: a shadow clone can be sent into hostile territory, gather information without endangering the user and disperse when finished , thus transferring what they've learned .
Alternatively, shadow clones can recon an area, dispersing when they've found what they're looking for in order to let the user know the target's location .
Caution -
1 - Shadow Clone jutsu requires a large amount of chakra to make even 1 clone
2- The combined experiences comes with combined mental fatigue . In case of more clones the fatigue Increases .
3 - Through Chakra link with the original body , The Original body will also feel the pain and all the experience of a Shadow Clone .
=======================================
" Shadow Clone jutsu ? "
The Hokage looks at Naruto's choice and looks back towards Blonde . The Hokage was also curious about Naruto's choice and especially the thought process behind it .
The previous time Naruto chose different jutsu , but because of the numbers of jutsu , The Hokage couldn't understand his thoughts .
According to the Hokage If Hokage choses Attack jutsu , then his nature is more prone to attack and confrontation .
If Naruto took a Defensive Jutsu then His mentality is more about self-preservence .
In the same way , as long as Naruto choose a jutsu today , The Hokage will understand him better , And Now Looking at Naruto's choice , The Third Hokage soon comes to his own conclusion .
The Hokage has read every report on Naruto , His new pets , friends and then his 'boring' phase where everyone gets busy while he feels alone , even with his pets .
( ........ shadow clones as a symbolic way to avoid loneliness ..... )
The Hokage realisis the depth of the problem but soon decided to observe further . The Hokage decided to not question Naruto's choice as he wanted to observe further .
The Hokage asks Naruto
" Are you sure , Naruto "
" Yes , Grandpa ......it's very versatile "
Hearing Naruto , The Hokage soon summons the assistent and asks him to fetch the Jutsu's Scroll.
While waiting for the Scroll to deliver , The Hokage talks about Shadow clones usefullness and also the problems that came with it .
Naruto soon gets the Scroll , And soon they both reach the Training Ground . The Hokage teaches Shadow Clone jutsu to Naruto . and also goes further into the details for the jutsu .
Under The effect of Great Sage Skill , Naruto Uses this chance to learn the Shadow Clone jutsu and also asks about the other problems that he thought of in other jutsu's .
