Uchiha Sasuke is the last loyal surviving member of the infamous Uchiha clan. Well known for their doujutsu, the Sharingan which has allowed them to excel as shinobi in the field. His past is clouded by the pain and misery of losing his family so much that vengeance is all that remains to him.

Naruto couldn't help cringing. No matter how much he wanted to deny it, Sasuke was a bad ass shinobi in training.

[Observe]'s level has increased by 1.

"Hajime," called Iruka.

Naruto immediate dropped into a defensive stance and had to block a nasty series of spear hand strikes pushing him back near the edge of the ring. He couldn't help wincing at the sting in his forearms from blocking. Unfortunate he didn't have time to think about it as Sasuke moved to attack again.

"[Roll Slash]," Naruto mumbled, hoping it might work. Naruto immediately rolled under the next strike and slashed at Sasuke with an empty hand accomplishing nothing but avoiding the attack.

"Crap," whined Naruto. It was a risky move and it did manage to keep him in the ring but it did nothing to damage Sasuke even slightly. Unfortunately, it did nothing to slow Sasuke down either because the boy managed to turn around faster than Naruto could come out of his roll so that when Naruto turned around he took a brutal kick to the face not only stunning him but knocking him into the air and well clear of the ring.

"Winner, Uchiha Sasuke."

"That looked like it hurt," said Shikamaru, holding out a hand to help Naruto back to his feet.

Naruto had to shake his head out a couple of times to clear the fuzziness away from his vision. "Yeah, it hurt. That teme is a fucking machine. Kami damned overpowered Uchiha bull shit."

"Yeah, he is a bit overpowered for the academy and probably should have graduated last year. Apparently the council decided to reject his application to graduate early because they didn't want a repeat of his psychopathic brother to occur," explained Shikamaru.

"Sasuke's brother is a psychopath?"

"Yeah, killed the entire clan off except for Sasuke. It really fucked him up."

"That's why he has the Avenger status then," Naruto mumbled, not really thinking about Shikamaru being there.

"Avenger status?" asked Shikamaru. "What do you mean?"

"It is part of what I want to tell you about later," Naruto answered, hoping Shikamaru could wait until then.

"Ah, that's fine," said Shikamaru, but it was clear from the look on his face he rapidly trying to work through what he'd just heard and make sense of it. Somehow Naruto knew Sasuke was an avenger but had no idea why. "Troublesome."

Naruto finally wandered back to watch the other fights after his head felt right again. A lot of them the members of the Konoha Twelve kicking the crap out of the civilians and very rarely each other.

Naruto's last match was against a level 4 civilian that was easily defeated. The one cool thing is that he won by causing his opponent to tap out because of one of the new holds he learned.

Best of all, it earned him a level to his [Intermediate Academy Taijutsu] skill.

Once again the day finally ended but instead of going to train, Naruto went up to the academy roof to have his conversation with Shikamaru, probably his closest friend at this point.

"So, what changed?" asked Shikamaru.

Naruto frowned for a moment. "So, have you ever played video games?"

"A few times at Kiba's, never was my thing really," answered Shikamaru. "It's too much effort for way too little reward."

"Well, I like them. In fact, playing video games is one of the few things I can do for fun in this village. You may have noticed that I'm not well liked."

"Okay, what's your point?"

"So a few months ago I woke up and my life had become a video game," answered Naruto, not really sure how Shikamaru would react.

"I see," said Shikamaru.

"I'm serious," said Naruto. "Watch." Naruto opened his inventory and pulled out his old jacket from the inventory space.

"That looks like time-space jutsu," said Shikamaru, trying to understand what he just saw.

"I don't know how it works, just that it does," Naruto replied as he put the jacket back into his inventory.

"So what, you have levels and stats and stuff?" asked Shikamaru.

"Exactly," said Naruto.

"Troublesome," Shikamaru sighed. "Alright, give me details so I can understand this a bit better."

So for the next hour Naruto broke down the entire game life system from leveling to his skills, to training to increase his stats.

"So for every level you gain you can increase your base stats by one through training?"

"Yeah, that's why I asked you to teach me Shogi. It worked to increase my WIS stat."

"That seems a bit backward, that WIS would affect your chakra control and learning while INT impacts you chakra pool and jutsu strength."

"It doesn't make much sense to me either but those are the stupid game's rules," said Naruto, frowning. It didn't make much sense but at the same time it made some sense to him even if just a little.
