Gamer Naruto

As the clear skies lied still and the Sun consistently being 80 degrees, sounds of pierced air would fill the space. If anyone could see the spectacle that is going on in the training room, many people would be amazed by one or two things. The lazy and yet elegant swordsmanship or the katana that is shredding through other swords like paper.

(C1)Naruto: "That is so unfair! That sword just goes through my sword like it's jelly!" A clone complained

(C2)Naruto: "Main! Why do you get to use the Yamato! Share why don't you!" Another close joined in.

(C3)Naruto: "Yeah! Let us show you the 'joy' of facing the Yamato!" Another clone chimed in.

Naruto was amused and tickled. It was funny seeing his clones so annoyed and childish. All he wanted to do was to try the Yamato. With another 3 clones with broken swords, there are only 42 left for swordsmanship training.

Naruto: "You guys can dispel yourselves."

(C2)Naruto: "Not even an apology...hope this hurts." he muttered out before dispelling. The 8 of them dispelled and memories, experience, and pain came with it.

Naruto: "Wow. My own clones betrayed me. That's just depressing. The sword is that strong?"

[Yes.]

Naruto: "*Sigh* May I get a normal sword then?"

[Sure.] A sword materialized on Naruto's hand.

Naruto: "So I had a thought. I don't get back any physical experiences from the shadow clones do I?"

[+1 Wis for figuring that out. Yes. You do not. Only mental or spiritual experiences can come back.]

Naruto: "Got it."

It's been roughly 2 hours since Naruto and his clones started training. Naruto focused on Meditation in order to one day meet the Fox more consistently as advised by Cain and to obtain a future power that his body naturally has an affinity for. Cain wouldn't tell him what it is and Naruto simply shrugged and continued working.

Naruto: "Cain. Is there a place where I can level up Meditation faster. I want to max out some of the skills so that they don't waste my time in the future."

[There is. It is on the Island Turtle.]

Naruto: "Island Turtle? Must be a huge turtle. Can you send me there?"

[I don't need to. ID Create can simulate it perfectly.]

Naruto: "Cool. Uh, let's see. Wonder if this will work." Naruto did the process in which he invokes ID Create but this time, he says something a little different. "ID Create Island Turtle." A blinding flash of light and Naruto is there. In front of him is a great waterfall. It has a weird calming effect.

[You are here. I put in you in the most beneficial spot. You can start.]

Naruto: "Thank you." Naruto sits on the big lotus in front of the waterfall. He closes his eyes for the skill. Half an hour later.

[Meditation Level 26,Exp-63%]

Naruto: 'Wow. That's a lot faster.'

?: "Yes it is..."

Naruto raises his eyes brows. He slowly opens his eyes and looks around. For some reason, it seems foggy everywhere besides his location.

Naruto: 'What in the hell...'

?: "Strange? I realize it too." Naruto looks forward at the waterfall. A figure emerged. It was him but with red iris and black scleras with no pupils. "What's wrong? Can't recognize yourself?" he smirked.

Naruto: "No not really. I don't remember having red and black eyes. Also, being creepy is not really my style. 'That smirk is really creepy. Do I smirk like that?'

?: "You know I can hear you right?" his smile has already vanished.

Naruto: "Yeah. I know. I knew the moment you said your first line." Naruto stood up. "So what do I call you? Dark Naruto or Inner Naruto? "

?: "Both."

Naruto: "I'll stick with Dark."

(D)Naruto: "Whatever. "

Naruto: "So now what?"

(D)Naruto: "We talk I guess."

Naruto: "Talk? About what?"

(D)Naruto: "Anything." Naruto looked at him like he was a monkey.

Naruto: "You do realize how weird it is to talk yourself right?" (D)Naruto was a little surprised.

(D)Naruto: "You consider me as a part of you?"

Naruto: "Yeah. Of course, I do. By the amount of rage you are radiating, it's easy to guess which part of me you are. Why would I oppose you?" (D)Naruto smiled.

(D)Naruto: "I'm glad that the Voice has finally cleared your mind. I have no purpose here anymore."

Naruto: "Oh. Is that right?"

(D)Naruto: "Yes. I thought I could never reach you but it seems to me that this power has affected you greatly. It has made you more of who you are. You not denying me is an example of this effect."

Naruto: "Well why would I deny you? You are me and I am you. You are the hatred and all the negative emotions held inside of me. I wouldn't hate you. In fact, I would thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be where I am right now. I wouldn't have the strength to move forward."

(D)Naruto had tears in his eyes. It was almost like watching a brother go down the wrong path to later finally seeing the light and coming back to the good. (D)Naruto walked to Naruto and hugged him.

(D)Naruto: "Thank you..." he said before disappearing.

Naruto: "Yes. Rest well, my friend." Naruto looked at the sky and noticed how beautiful it actually is. 'Maybe I should come here in real life.' "Cain. Thank you."

[No problem.] No explanations were needed. Naruto already knew that Cain did this on purpose to help him. Naruto sat down and continued to meditate. An hour soon passed.

[Meditate Level 40, Exp-100%] --> [Meditate Level Max]

Naruto: "Great. Now, let's go back. I want to absorb the training from the clones. I want to see how I already am with the training. Maybe spar with a couple of ninja from the leaf right after."

[Okay. Say ID Return First]

Naruto: "ID Return First." said Naruto after the process.

[ID Return Level 1, Exp-50%]

Another round of flashing white light and Naruto was in front of the clones. He went to them and told the shurikenjutsu training clones to dispel themselves every 5 minutes. He only did that because Naruto doesn't want to break his own mind.

[+1 Wis for being cautious and thinking of consequences.]

They all started to dispel one by one. After the 50 clones were gone, Naruto was still and quiet. Even though his eyes were closed, he wasn't thinking of anything. He was just trying to bear the pain of the memory transference.

[Shurikenjustu Level 30, Exp-100%] --> [Intermediate Shurikenjutsu Level 17, Exp-65%]

[Mind Resistance Level 34, Exp-44%]

Naruto: "Mmm... cool." He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. The leveling of mind resistance helped with the shadow clone's mental stress quite a bit. "Next. Sword training clones. Same method."

42 clones later, Naruto was almost unconscious and he was on the floor.

[Shadow Clone Jutsu Level 20] --> [Durable Shadow Clones Level 1, Exp-34%]

[Swordsmanship Level 27, Exp-29%]

[Basic Sword Moves Level 31, Exp-57%]

[Mind Resistance Level 39, Exp-78%]

Naruto: "It really doesn't get easier does it."

[No. Bear with it for now.]

Naruto: "Alright. Last batch of clones. Aura Reading Clones if you please." The clones nodded and vanished. One small migraine later.

[Durable Shadow Clones Level 3, Exp-2%]

[Aura Reading Level 20] --> [Aura Reading Level Max]

Naruto: "So glad I decided to spread out the pain. Couldn't imagine what would've happened if I used all of them at once. It is quite surprising that Aura Reading level up that fast." Naruto breathed out.

[+1 Wis for taking a decent approach.]

Naruto: "Shut it, Cain. "
