The Gamer: Naruto World - Chapter 17
Chapter 17 – We will get Strong Together
After everyone left the house, Raito dragged Naruto with him and went inside the Dungeon World. Arriving at the dungeon, Raito asked Naruto to make some clones and start on Fuinjutsu.
“Let’s start. Notification- ON.” commanded Raito.
After walking a bit Raito found a group of zombies. Leading the zombie to a secluded alley and closing the alley with ninja wire and kunai, Raito successfully trapped it.
Snake. . Rat. Demonic illusion: Hell Viewing Technique. The chakra flared and affected the zombie. For a moment there was no reaction from the zombie, then afterwards the zombie shrieked attracting quite a few zombies. Looking at the zombie gathered, Raito selected two and casted Genjutsu again causing the two to shriek in the same manner as the first. Raito waited for some time, then few minutes later the zombies began to quite down and started moving around randomly.
Raito started meditating, then after half an hour, began the hunt. Casting Genjutsu, Hell Viewing Jutsu, then using Taijutsu to kill them Raito focused on increasing the level of his skills. Taking a longer time to kill his opponent Raito used a lot of skills. Shuriken and kunai were leveling faster than others. He also used the ‘academy three’ though the clone jutsu was of not much use his best. His best guess was that the zombie could ‘lock on’ to their opponents.
Letting out an ugly smile, Raito sighed. His Chakra pool was his biggest disadvantage. Four or five times using a higher level skill will completely deplete his chakra. Reading books to increase the INT, he wasn’t reading enough books or so Raito thought.
Then seemingly coming to an enlightenment, Raito slapped his head lightly then voiced out his thought with a small smile, “Chakra control”.
[Chakra Control Lvl 8 (passive) Exp 12%]
Raito had a lot of things going so ‘forgetting a thing or two was normal right? Right? Or should he increase INT and WIS with status points? Raito questioned inwardly.
Collecting a bunch of leaves Raito kept all of them into the inventory. Taking one leaf out, he stuck the leaf on his head then taking kunai out, Raito moved to the dark shadow and used the skill ‘Throw’ at the zombie. The kunai pierced the zombie from behind and got stuck on the body, dealing a huge damage dropping a quarter of the HP.
But the problem was the leaf fell down. Blinking his eyes in confusion and thought Raito pulled one kunai and one leaf together and again did the same. Same happened again and again.
Raito decided enough was enough and quickly killed the zombie, using various skill but sadly though none of the skill leveled upped. Using the leaf concentration exercise Raito depleted his chakra and then went to find Naruto. Naruto was also doing his best, first using shuriken to gain attention of a single zombie then using Taijutsu to kill it. He used the tactics again and again then getting bored Naruto improvised using wires to trip the zombies into the front laid with pins and all the sharp things like glasses. Sometime later he used a rope to make a lasso then binding the neck with it Naruto killed it.
Giving a sharp whistle Raito waited. Naruto also looked for the sound and found a silhouette. Dumping the zombie Naruto went towards Raito.
“Oi Naruto, are you bored?” asked Raito with the same thought in his mind.
Sighing lightly Raito hold Naruto’s shoulder then got back to Konoha.
“Hey Raito don’t you think there are some other monster in there, you know more stronger? I mean it happens all the time in the games we played”. Asked Naruto
“There may be but it’s not a game so I don’t know maybe in future stronger monsters will come.” replied Raito.
“Naruto you cannot use Genjutsu, it seems. So we have to make sure that you are good enough to know about Genjutsu, how to differentiate them and how to dispel them.
“Naruto look at everything then close your eyes. I will use a Genjutsu called false surrounding and all you have to do is dispel it.” said Raito.
Naruto looked at Raito and nodded then looked at everything around him. Then he closed his eyes.
Snake . . Rat . . Demonic Illusion: False surroundings. Releasing his chakra Raito visualized the changes and released his chakra. Maybe because of the skill ‘Observe’ or something else he was able to visualize specks and lumps of chakra coming out from his body to a certain distance and stick to various surfaces and covering them and creating a new membrane with different patterns. The patterns were similar to those that Raito had visualized.
“Raito can I open my eyes yet?” asked Naruto in an impatient voice.
“Just a moment.” saying that Raito picked up the cup covered by Genjutsu.
“Observe”.
[Raito’s cup]
A common cup brought from the ‘Dancing leaf market’.
Made by Tokio Manufacturers
Owner: Yoshizawa Raito
Price: 200 Ryo per set
Commonly used to drink tea
Currently under a Genjutsu changing the outside color from green to yellow.
“Woah, isn’t the skill ‘Observe’ too awesome.” Raito exclaimed inwardly.
Skill Demonic Illusion false surroundings leveled up by 1
“Naruto open you eyes and try to find clues, if you think there is some problems than just do as Iruka-sensei said, make a rat seal then release an amount of chakra and say ‘Kai’.” said Raito mixing his voice with a little bit of chakra.
“I already knew that.” said Naruto then he moved forward then looked at the shirt and shouted ‘Kai’.” With that visible chakra projected outwards and dispelled everything at once.
Surprised by the powerful wave of chakra from Naruto, Raito sighed and again performed another ‘False surrounding’ and Naruto again trying to dispel it. After five or six times the Raito was out of chakra but Naruto still had a ton of chakra for which Raito was envious of.
Shooing Naruto out Raito started using ‘Meditation’ and started recovering his lost chakra. Then half an hour later still using ‘Meditation’ Raito used the active mode of his “Chakra Sense’.
Raito felt like he could go anywhere in a certain field. He tried moving forward and so his vision move forward then he tried moving backward and he moved back. Experimenting a while Raito felt satisfied, also with the skill ‘Fast thinking’ activated it ended quickly. Looking at the time the ten minutes in meditative state was equal to about one minutes.
Small domain type chakra sense was always active and would continuously level up, so he wasn’t worried. Next thing was the ‘Chakra Control’. There was leaf sticking exercise and nothing else. The hokage promised him to give the book on chakra control. Damn it. And he wanted it fast. Not just for improving the chakra control but also to do all the Jutsus in his arsenal.
Practicing his ‘Chakra control’ over and over he increased the skill level quite a number of times, feeling bored he looked at Raito. Smiling devilishly Raito stood up and casted ‘False Surrounding’ then called Naruto over for food.
Naruto also rushed over as soon as possible and rushed passed the door or ti seemed like then there was a bang sound and Naruto fell on the ground. The Genjutsu disappeared and Raito was there with his hand on the stomach bending over and laughing madly. Naruto woke up quickly and glared at Raito then made a cross hand sign and shouted “Multiple Shadow Clone technique’ and with bombardment of poof a hundred of Naruto clone came into existence.
Seeing the clones in front of him Raito felt a little scared of it. Anyone would when you see a hundred of angry faced Naruto with pure evil mind. So Raito did what he thought would get him out of the trouble. He used ‘ID Create’ and disappeared from the real world and landed in the dungeon then quickly went towards Naruto’s last position. Then exiting the dungeon world he caught Naruto and dragged Naruto in the blank dungeon world. The clones in the real world were calm and started making noise but then one suggested to just dispel. One of the clones disappeared but got no feed back. Then one by one all of them dispelled.
In the dungeon world Naruto was not able to get the memory of his clones. But that was not the main problem. Right now Naruto was glaring at Raito.
“Oi com’mon you know that was a joke and-”
“I also want to do Jutsus.” said Naruto cutting off Raito.
Raito was silent after hearing Naruto. A few moments passed by then bringing out a scroll from his inventory Raito handed it to Naruto, “That’s what Mari-nee gave to me, also these are the basic of the basic and hokage jiji was able to give me with a lot of trouble on his head, same is that shadow clone technique and that Fuinjutsu book. We don’t have a clan or a big family with us to give us high level Ninjutsu and all but we have friends and nee-chan. and nii-chan. and jiji. Just wait….wait until we become ninja, then we could learn as much Ninjutsu and all the other things. Than we will slowly but surely become powerful, powerful not just to protect oneself but also to those people around us.”
“Now get up and learn those Jutsus. And don’t tell me that they are not worth your time.” shouted Raito.
Trembling Naruto supported himself, his hand on his t.h.i.g.hs, then taking a deep breath Naruto shouted with the top of his voice. His shout seemed like his declaration, his determination and his will.
It only takes one moment to make a sharp turn in life. It may not be this one nor may it happen anytime in future. But if you are not trying than what the hell are you doing?
Raito talked about the techniques in detail when he explained him to Naruto but more or less everything about was in theory because of the gamer ability. Learning a new skill Raito learned about the skill itself, how was it made, how could it be used, who was the inventor of the jutsu and on what principle it is used. Basically everything on the theoretical knowledge Raito knew about the jutsu when he pushed the ‘YES’ button.
“Learn about those right now and later we go for the zombie hunt to master these jutsu.” Raito said.
Ox . .Snake . . ‘Lightning palm’. With the stretch of his hand Raito hand glowed in blue and small snakes of thunder danced around. Touching a tree nearby, it made a light buzz sound and the technique died down. Again using the technique, this time Raito didn’t touch or do anything but just kept it in the air and after a minute, the jutsu died down.
“In fights I get more skill experience points than just using it on thin air or a wooden stump. It’s like my ability is telling me to just fight.” thought Raito
Naruto was finally back and they were ready to go back to the real world. But then suddenly the surroundings was quickly filling with red gases and those red gases were slowly forming into a shape of a big hand.
Luckily for Raito, the gamer mind was active, which kept him sober enough to instantly exit the dungeon world.
“What the hell was that!?” shouted Raito as he took a deep long breath.
“What was what Raito? And why are you looking so white?” Asked Naruto
Looking at Naruto carefully Raito asked, “Don’t tell me you didn’t see that?”
“Nope.” replied Naruto in confusion then looking at Raito he asked, “What did you see there?”
“That. . . I think was a very big hand? Sort of, I guess. I don’t know what I saw but I felt danger.” replied Raito then he turned away and sat in a meditative position.
“Seesh, I am just asking ya know?” grunted Naruto
“I am going to sleep. If you like to know.” added Naruto then he started walking back to his room.
“Hey Naruto, I am sorry, I was angry alright. I got scared and angry so I shouted at you and I shouldn’t have done that. Forgive me?” requested Raito.
Grinning Naruto turned and replied, “You know I don’t stay mad at anyone and especially not you Raito.”
Smiling slightly Raito asked, “You going to bed?”
“Yup today’s been a long day and seen and did a lot of drama.” with that Naruto again turned and went towards his room.
“Just so you know Anko-nee and Mari-nee are going to be here tomorrow, for a performance test or something.” said Raito
Naruto who was just going towards his room slipped and fell on the ground and his eye has started collecting tears.
Naruto went to bed and Raito was at the backyard pondering hard on what happened till now. Then he looked at the status page and then at the stat points at the bottom. Tapping at his knees Raito closed the screen then he moved out of the house.
Somewhere in Konohagakure
A young man was holding an empty vial and near him was a couple of scrolls each engraved with storage seals, and with them there were various notes, which was written in detailed. But the scroll and the notes looked like they were thrown on the ground.
Throwing down the vial the young man placed his hand near his head and supported it, “So they really know who I am? Or who I am working for? But that’s impossible, I have not contacted him in a year. And these vials are proof enough that they know about me. Sending some high level expert, just to empty the blood inside. But then why didn’t they take anything else? Or why didn’t they just kill me?” massaging his head the teen picked up the vial once more then crushed it. “Who the hell are you, Yoshizawa Raito?”
Grinding his teeth, clenching his hand the young man frowned, then walked away. A few moments later he returned back, now looking a lot calmer than before. Then started cleaning the room.
Konoha Memorial Hall
Standing in front of a huge slab of black wall inscribed with a lot of names, was the young Yoshizawa Raito. Raito was sanding looking dazed.
“Not once but twice, if I was anyone else than I would say, ‘What a coincidence’. But I am not going to tell you that.” said Raito as he looked at the figure behind him.
Standing lazily was Hatake Kakashi with his laze posture and reading the same orange book. Focusing his eyes on the boy Kakashi moved forward then he closed the book and safely kept it on his pouch.
Raito then didn’t look back and returned to what he was doing.
“You seem to know that I am going to be your instructor after the academy? If you passed the test, that is. Even though you are good, I can’t say that your partners are good. One is an idiot who doesn’t have any talent and another one is a talented person but is a coward. You alone cannot hold down the fort alone.” Kakashi said in a slow and heavy tone then after finishing his words he silently left the area.
Raito looked at the direction Kakashi just left then the corners of his lips raised. Then he turned around and sat on the ground.
