Naruto: The Shadow Game System.

Hm, food for thought.

I opened my menu again and realised something, I had stat points! 5 to be exact! If I wanted, I could raise my CC into 20 and learn that genjutsu, but then again I'm not sure that would be good use of my points.

I also had a +10 skill scroll and two +2 skill scrolls, both of which I could use for any one of my skills. Hm, maybe I should use one of the +2 scrolls on my taijutsu style? Just so that it can actually be used in combat?

I decided that would be a smart move and did just that. I took out one +2 skill scroll and opened it up. Suddenly a box appeared before me;

Select the skill whose level you wish to raise: I looked at my skill list and without a second thought selected my Disturbance style.

Ping!

Your skill went up by two levels! Disturbance style, Lv- 3 (0%) Akin to a warrior's dance performance, a user of this style is able to rapidly and relentlessly bombard their target with precision, at various angles and locations. This style, comprised of sheer unpredictable movements, can easily catch his opponents off-guard.

DMG- +6 + STR + DEX

Speed- 11% faster

Not bad. I saved the other scrolls for later, never know when I would need them.

I took out the book on stitching, it was a relatively small book, should be finished in one night. I reach out of my window grill and plucked a single leaf, placing it on my forehead, holding it up for as long as I could before my chakra went away. I then read my book, waiting for my chakra to regenerate.

The morning came quickly, I spent most of last night reading that book. I finished it by the morning. I did my usual morning routine before reaching the academy in the nick of time. I sat in the back with Naruto as began to teach us math, basic stuff, nothing too hard.

During lunch that day I Naruto and I sat down in our usual spot, with Sasuke sitting on the other end of the table spying glances at us.

"Hey Naruto," I told him in a whisper, "after school can you help me out with something? I need a sparring buddy."

"Eh? You want me to beat you up?" Naruto asked.

I sighed, "no, I decided to try and create my own taijutsu style, I need to know how good it is," I gave Naruto a lie, after all how else could I explain my learning of the Disturbance style? If someone does recognize it I can just claim ignorance stating I had no clue what I was doing and just making it up as I went along.

Ping! Lie successful!

I blinked, that was new. Guess me getting that lying skill changed things up. Naruto nodded, "oh cool! Sure I'll love to help! Same time right?" I smiled, "thanks Naruto."

"Hey dobe," came Sasuke's sudden call. Naruto and I turned to him, "what do you want teme?" Naruto asked with narrowed eyes. "Are you two really going to fight after classes?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto and I looked at each other before I spoke up, "and if we were?" "Hn," he grunted, "I'm coming. I need to test myself."

I blinked, "what?" He didn't say a thing, he just got up and took his tray and left. I turned to Naruto, "what just happened?" "I think he wants a fight," Naruto glared daggers at Sasuke's back, "and I'm going to give it to him!"

I rolled my eyes, 'they barely know each other and they are already going to fight? God this shit is destiny.'

We had another class on science, I'm guessing the classes are finally going to become interesting from now on. On a side note, I really need to start learning kanji for that I can begin fuinjutsu, but then again if I can't even perform a fucking henge I doubt such a skill will come so easily to me.

At the end of the day Naruto and I waited for everyone to leave before we came to the training ground. Today a lot more students were using it, mainly the obstacle course and the target practise area. There were a few chunin teachers also present, making sure no one got hurt. We found Sasuke waiting for us in the taijutsu ring. He looked up and spotted us walking over to him, "about time."

"Shut up teme!" Naruto cried out, "why are you even here anyway?! You barely said a word to us and now you want to play with us?!"

"I'm not here to play, I'm here to test myself," Sasuke said with a grunt. He looked at me, "you said you were developing your own style?"

Ah, seems I'm not the only eavesdropper around. I nodded, "yes, that's true. Trying anyway."

"Hn, let's go then, I'll be your opponent," Sasuke said as he stepped into the ring.

Ping!

Quest Alert!

Defeat Sasuke in a taijutsu spar! Rewards: +50 EXP Fauiler:

Possible broken bone Do you accept?

Y/N?

I blinked, "well, okay I suppose," I walked into the ring. I held out my hand, two fingers extended upwards.

Sasuke looked at it and raised an eyebrow, "what are you doing?"

"It's called the seal of confrontation," I told you, "you do it when you're sparring against someone from the same village, to show that lethal force isn't needed."

"Oh, you sure know a lot huh Yami," Naruto said impressed, even Sasuke seemed to raise an eyebrow at this information. "Fine," the Uchiha said as he made the symbol as well before lowering his stance into a form that I'm guessing his style used. If I recall correctly Sasuke uses the Uchiha style, fast strike, but direct, hopefully I can beat that.

"Naruto, be the referee," I told the kid as I made eye contact with Sasuke and held it.
