Naruto: The Shadow Game System.

Chapter 11: CH-11:)



Leaf concentration exercise, Lv- 5 (32%) By keeping a leaf stuck on your forehead thanks to chakara you now only help with your chakra control exercise but also improve your concentration.

Uses: 18 CP per minute Leaves to hold up- 2 +1 INT while active +1 CC permanent bonus per level The CP cost went down, allowing me to go on for just a little bit longer. It went down by a single point every two levels and when it reached level 5 the number of leaves I could use went up to two!

I tried to use two leaves at once, but stupid me didn't realise that meant I would be using twice as much chakra. I figured that just meant I could use two leave for the same amount, it was an easy mistake to make.

But I did discover something amazing. Each leaf equated to an INT point. Meaning two leaves game me a bonus of +2 INT when active! So yes, it does seem impossible now, but I can make it a reality soon! I had to!

And also thanks to this skill leveling up I also managed to raise my CC stats;

CC- 12

It was now my highest stat. But even after it crossed the ten point threshold, my CONTROL didn't raise from 20% to 22% like it was supposed too. I was almost in tears when I saw that. But after Gamer's mind calmed me down I realised it will probably only become active after I level up, since that's how every other point system seemed to work.

I kept going, focused on nothing but gaining the next level for the skill. I did calculation in my head on how much time I had left between each skill level. It looked like I need little over an hour to get a level up, more with each level up.

I actually gasped in surprise when I saw the sun rise off in the distance. I never realised it was so late. But it made sense, doing the same thing all night, I must have trained for well over seven hours.

But the wierd part is….I wasn't sleepy. Not one bit. I know what I feel like when I stay up all night, but this wasn't it! Maybe it was because I channeled chakra into my brain all night? Maybe that kept it active? No, what am I saying? That sounds stupid! No, it must be because of the Game, I never see video game characters need to sleep...yes, that makes sense, Gamer's body can do that!

So cool! I don't need to sleep! But damn, that means I really need to find something fun to do while in my room, maybe a book? Hm, does Konoha have a library? What am I saying? Of course it must have one.

I looked out and saw a gaurd walking up to the gate and opening it. I smiled, now was my chance to escape!

I ran out of my room with a towel in hand. I saw Kusume outside going around to wake people up. She noticed me running to the bathroom and glared hatefully, but said nothing. Guess that's how she wants to play it huh? Fine, I can deal with that. I took a nice long bath, because it was so early all the hot water was still available, plus I didn't have to share the shower with other people. I then went back into my room, put on a fresh set of clothes, black shirt with white shorts and my sandals.

I looked into the cafeteria but found it empty with no food ready, people were working in the kitchen, preparing the food, but I doubt it will be ready soon.

I sighed, fine, so no food...not that I'm hungry...wait, can I even get hungry? I don't need to sleep, so food should be the same thing right? Can I get hungry?! Go I need to eat?!

Deciding to test out my theory I chose to skip breakfast today. I know I know, very bad for a child to do, but I'm experimenting! I instead walked out of the orphanage, stopping to ask the watchman whether he knows where the Konoha library is. The man complied easy enough, but was curious why I was going out so early. I told him I wasn't hungry and needed something to do, like having a book to read. He seemed satisfied with my answer and left me go after that.

I followed his directions, along with whatever vague memory of the place I had in my head, and found myself at the steps of a giant building that was already open. I found a old woman who had dark skin sweeping the stairs. She had her hair in a bun and glasses, looking every bit like a stereotypical librarian.

Misa Rural, Librarian Lv- ?

REP- 0 Woah, a question mark for a level? She must be pretty strong. Maybe high Chunin? Maybe even Jonin? Hm, would make sense, a library is the home of knowledge and to a ninja knowledge is power. Having a civilian gaurd all that power would be like having an 8 year old being a cop.

Misa looked up and noticed me immediately, she smiled, "can I help you dear?"

I gulped and nodded, "yes," it came out speaky, I cleared my throat and tried again, "I was just wondering if the library was open."

Misa smiled, "indeed it is…."

"Yami," I supplied.

Misa nodded, "Yami, lovely name. Please go right inside," she motioned to the open doors. I thanks her and ran in finding the inside filled with rows and rows of books.

There were three floors with a staircase near the back leading to the first and second floors. On the ground floor the room was separated into two parts, three shelves near the back which had the label, 'Only Ninja's allowed beyond this point', and the other part and no restrictions whatsoever.
