Gamer Naruto

As usual, Naruto woke up and did his morning routine and had breakfast. Always being well-rested had its benefits as Naruto never felt the annoyance of waking up but rather felt refreshed instead. This results in happy mornings where Naruto feel more enthusiastic to do activities for the day rather than feeling lethargic and have no dėsɨrė to be active.

Opening the door, Naruto was hit with the smell of nature and he felt good. Really good. Cerulean skies brought a sense of serenity to Naruto as the clouds that were over him looked like an enormous cotton candy that he ate on the festival. Looking at the ground, he noticed that his front yard looked nice but it lacked flowers. Conveniently, he found his excuse to visit the Yamanaka clan.

Then as he started walking, he looked back at his house. He found the interior acceptable and nice while the outside looked a bit outdated so he wanted to have a different design for a house's exterior. Summoning a few clones, this time, the goal is to learn about designing and building houses. Asking the Third for help was a must as he probably knew people that can connect the electricity and water but then decided to go against that to not draw suspicion.

Naruto: 'Well. If I can't ask for help then I'll rebuild the entire damn thing.' And so he decided to summon more clones to learn about all that as well. By the end of the week, he's hoping for a complete remodel of his house. 'That will totally draw suspicion...' he cursed mentally. 'FART NOGGINS OF DEATH BEANS OF HELL LIFE @%!^#% !!!' In the end, he calmed down. 'Whatever. I'll deal with it when it comes.'

Since he mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu a while ago, many benefits came with it. Like using no seals for the activation for the Jutsu and then no smoke when it's activated. Not to mention the significant decrease in chakra requirement, the clone's ability to be active even when chakra is not supplied for some time and the radius of a meter around Naruto that they can summon in. Meaning that Naruto could summon a clone behind someone if he wished to.

Of course, now the Shadow Clone Jutsu has been upgraded quite a few times and now they all have a psychic link together as per the name, Link Clones. This meant that they could either talk telepathically or send information to each other. Some information would be auditory, some would be visuals, and some even might be that of taste.

With a smile on his face, he walked to the Yamanaka flower shop at a fast pace. Just as he arrived, he saw Ino walking out with a watering can. They stared at each other for a little bit until Naruto decided to start the conversation.

Naruto: "Good Morning Ino." he said politely.

Naruto: "Just to buy some flowers."

Ino: "Oh. You don't seem like a flower kind of person." said Ino with a skeptical voice.

Naruto: "I'm trying new things." came the indifferent reply. "Can I buy some right now?"

Ino: "Sure. I'll help you with that."

Naruto: "Thanks." They walked in. Naruto looked around and tried to see Inoichi but couldn't see him on the normal floor. "So is your father here?"

Ino: "Yeah. He's just sleeping." she said. "Why? Need something from him?"

Naruto: "Yes actually. I wanted to ask for the Yamanaka jutsus." Ino secretly tensed and Naruto saw it.

Ino: "Why?" It was a low voice. The kind of tone her voice had was what you would use in a threat.

Naruto: "No reason. Just for protection. I wouldn't want people going my mind that easily." 'Although I wanna see someone try.'

Naruto: "Well. I already had the Nara family share theirs with mine so I was hoping if I can also obtain yours." Ino's face showed great surprise and puzzlement.

Ino: "Wait. Shikamaru's family taught you their techniques?"

Naruto: "Yes." he nodded.

Ino: "Prove it."

Naruto: "Alright." To make sure that his original jutsus were not discovered, he decided to use the simple Shadow Bind jutsu with seals. Ino visibly relaxed as she saw the Nara specialty.

Ino: "Okay. Seems like you're credible but that doesn't mean you'll get my dad's permission to learn it."

Naruto: "Is that so? Perhaps there's another way?"

Ino: "Hmm..." she thought about it. 'I mean. It won't do any harm. If the Nara clan trusts him then I can too but still. I guess it won't hurt to tell him. It's not like he can learn it immediately. He needs to possess the requirements for them.' She kept thinking. 'Might as well. This way, I can make him do my chores for today. I always needed an errand boy.' As she had that thought, she was smiling happily. Naruto was using Aura Reading the entire time so he already knew why she was so happy but Naruto himself didn't care about it. In the end, it was just doing some labor. "Okay. I have a method."

Ino: "Nothing much. If you can help me with chores today, I'll teach you myself."

Naruto: "Okay...but how do I know you're not lying to me?"

Ino: "It seems like we're both trusting each other then." she smiled. Naruto froze for a second and smiled back.

Naruto: "Lead the way." From gardening, help with taking care of flowers, taking out the trash, buying groceries, picking out weeds, selling, organizing. Naruto had to partake in all of that with Ino in less than two hours. Ino mentally praised and thanked Naruto as she never could finish the chores before lunchtime and the fact that his patience could last this long doing thankless labor. Not completely thankless she thought last minute.

Looking at Naruto, she found him more appealing to the eye and quite attractive. He was hardworking, tolerant, friendly, polite, and smart. Turns out, he had more knowledge than her on some flowers which greatly raised his image in her head and he even shared on how to be more efficient in raising some of the flowers. It made her think about him. It made her question why Choji's dad yelled at him. There was no reason for it at all as far as she can see. Naruto was a good person and yet why couldn't Choji's dad see that?

Feeling a stare, Naruto looked at the source. Ino quickly shifter her glance continued to do her own thing while Naruto simply shrugged and went back to his work. After all of it was done, Ino called to Naruto and let him know that they're finished.

Ino: "Now that we're done, are you ready?" she asked with a serious tone.

Naruto: "Yes." he replied.

Ino: "Remember. No one can know." Naruto nodded in acknowledgment and hardened his face for more of serious effect. Ino found his serious look quite handsome but she immediately shook her head and started to take him to her room. Once there, she closed all open spaces and started to tell him. By the end of it, Cain told him it was done and so he thanked Ino and was about to leave. When he was about to open the door, Ino called out to him. "Naruto wait."

Ino: "Would you like to hang out sometimes?"

Naruto: "Can you elaborate?"

Ino: "Uh. We could go eat together, see views together, maybe watch the movie you described to me and all that. Friend stuff."

Naruto: "Oh." Naruto thought about it. Cain did say that he needs to relax a bit and since the opportunity is here, might as well. "Sure." he responded which made Ino's face brighten a bit. "I have to go now. See you later Ino."

Ino: "You too."

When Naruto left the shop, he was in glee because while he was walking down the stairs, he was in a conversation with Cain. In this conversation, Cain told him that Mind Power's abilities now can be trained to its fullest extent. All it would take is some creativity. With this much excitement built up, he used lightning to quickly run home and have clones start on his Mind Power training.

Seeing the clones that were training in the Shadow Style jutsus, he was amazed by what he was seeing. From chains, to walls, to teleportation, to weapon creation and then the changing of properties on the shadows. Using other's shadow against them. All of it excited him. Now that everyone was busy, he decided to also occupy himself. From afternoon to night time, he trained his body to build the pink muscles. Occasionally, he summoned a few extra clones to do other things that he remembered to do last minute like making food or cleaning his house or train in chakra control.

The most aggravating thing about chakra control is that his control goes down every other day. Why? Because his chakra keeps increasing. See, there is a method to increase chakra by draining it all out of the body and then letting it recharge which led to a natural increase in chakra. Naruto does this all the time due to his shadow clones and potent transformation and because his body quality and his mental attributes have been upgraded recently, his chakra is making an absurd improvement.

Normally, this would be a good thing but in Naruto's case, it keeps pushing back his chance to learn medical ninjutsu. It's not like he can just stop or anything because the world will keep going. He might die tomorrow but the world will continue moving. Time will not stop just for him so why would he slow down?

Being done with dinner, he decided to shower. Passing by the mirror, he saw that his body was showing muscles but stomach had a very faint outline of abs appearing. After his shower was done, he felt very reinvigorated. Just like the previous nights, he invoked an ID Clone that would train all night and then give him the experience later and went to sleep. Luckily this time, Naruto did not get a dream vision.
