Chapter 6: Naruto Uzamaki
It didn't take long for me to rejoin the game, about 30 minutes, so 2 hours in game time.
"You finally woke up. You're the last one." Naido told me, right as I had opened my eyes.
He was currently casually standing on the roof as he looked at me.
"The other 2 had already woken up and went home." He said, as he jumped off the roof and came to stand beside me.
"As of 2 hours ago, I became your Jounin sensei. Our first mission starts tomorrow. Meet me at 6 am at the Hokages office. Since you're now a genin, you have to move out of the home provided by the village in 1 month and move to your own residence. I recommend the Genin housing." He said as he left.
[Congratulations for completing your quest]
[You have been awarded 5000 Ryo]
[You are now a part of Naido's 3 man cell]
[You have gained the attention of the Hokage]
[When you say 'Directions to housing,' a one time beacon will be shown to move to your current housing]
As I read through the notifications, I decided to first deal with something important. I pressed on my notification for the Flying Thunder God
[Ninjutsu: Flying Thunder God
Rank:S
Description: The Jutsu can be considered a space-time ninjutsu, as it allows the user to travel through time and space to instantly arrive at the target location. However, the caster can't exactly teleport to wherever they want, as a necessary prerequisite for the Jutsu to be used is placing a mark on the target location.]
{Player Mathew, Fuinjutsu is required to make the seal required for the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. Therefore, the game has made it so a direct guide is provided to the player to learn this Jutsu. Moreover, the user will gain a new title. Enjoy the Elemental Nations, I hope you continue to surprise me}
As I read the notification I couldn't help but be surprised at the last one, where the systems panel had changed a little.
"Kid, I get you just fainted but leave soon please. You're in the hospital." A nurse reminded me. I quickly nodded, moving out of the hospital before opening my status page.

A Fuinjutsu title huh…
After looking at the title, I first moved to the roof of the buildings near me to get a view of the village.
It was at least a 100 times bigger than in the anime, since I could not see from end to end, and that expansion was needed to accommodate players.
I needed to move fast to affect the plot as much as possible.
Looking at the sun which had set, I decided to move to a location I knew would be a jackpot for me.
I dropped down onto the floor and asked my way to a certain Ramen shop.
As I interacted with the NPCs, I couldn't help but be surprised at how life like they were. It was amazing how well this game was operating.
"OLD MAN, 1 MORE BOWL!" I heard a familiar voice shout, as he slammed his bowl onto the counter.
"COMING RIGHT UP!" I heard a voice which was an enthusiastic reply.
I smiled as I moved into the small shop.
As I went in and made eye-contact with a small blond, with whiskers on his face, I couldn't help but get emotional.
At some point in the anime, every single person who watched Naruto had wanted to hug him.
This anime had brought me through my childhood in my world, and was carrying my life in this new world as well.
"Hmm?" Naruto hummed in question, as he turned toward me. As he saw my leafhead band attached on my bicep, he showed a reaction.
I knew I just needed slight prompting at this point.
"Hi, my name is Shikomu. What is your name?" I asked, as I sat down beside him.
I got to see the visible excitement on his face, as he held his chopsticks and then pointed them towards me.
"My name is Naruto Uzamaki, and I am going to be a Hokage in the future. Believe it."
In my head, I could briefly see flashes of the world of Naruto and Shippuden, just like in an instagram edit.
'That you will.' I couldn't help but think as I saw his goofy smile.
"Ok then Naruto, I am new to Ichiraku Ramen, so why don't you recommend what to eat for me."
"Hehe, you came to the right person. Old man, give him what I am having!"
"Coming right up!"
Naruto then turned towards slightly, adjusting his headband as he asked, "So, when did you become a Ninja? You look around my age."
"I just graduated. How about you?"
"Me too, I just finished my test."
That completely solidified my thoughts that I would be starting with the original Rookie 9.
"Ah, how was your Jounin Sensei? Between you and me, mine was a complete dick."
"RIGHT!" Naruto exclaimed, as I knew I had found a topic to bond over with him.
