Naruto: The Shadow Game System.

But seeing no choice I quickly stripped out of my clothes, throwing them into a laundry hamper in one corner of the room, and walked for a quick shower.

I passed my a mirror and stopped looking at myself. Yami was right, I looked super goth right then. My hair and eyes were black, like an Uchiha's. My hair was short and spiky coming down to my shoulders similar to Madara's hair, but not as long or thick. While I didn't look anorexic, I was skinny, something I really didn't like, ribs aren't meant to be seen.

Was this my real face? Or was this just the face of the body I'm using? I honestly couldn't tell, but the fact is I recognize this, I know this face to be mine so honestly I had no reason not thinking it was my face.

Pulling myself from the mirror I took a quick shower. After I was done I went back to my small room and put on the only other fresh pair of clothes I had. It was pair of old sand coloured cargo shorts a red shirt and a pair of blue sandals. Honestly I was surprised such small clothes even fitted me.

I walked out and followed everyone else into a large mess. There the kids around my age were gathered at a table talking in excited tones. A few of the loud ones exclaimed how excited they all were for today.

I took some food for myself and sat down with them, better to be a part of a group then stick out. As I ate the small bowl of rice and skinny fish I listened to them talk.

"So is it like difficult?"

"It is! I heard only like half the kids even pass!"

"I heard only three students get to come out as a team!" "No you idiot! That's three students per team! At least twenty people graduate every year!"

I listened as I silently ate my food, using chopsticks was difficult at first, but I managed but adapting an unusual eating habit of being very rough with the food.

But as I continued to listen intently there was another one of those gaming boxes;

Ping!

Repeated action has caused a new skill to be formed!

Easdropping, Lv- 1 (0%) Your ability to listen in someone else's conversation without them being aware of it. This is a very important skill for a ninja to possess for information gathering.

Range: 10 feet (100% accuracy) -10% accuracy for every additional feet I blinked, 'well this is new,' I told myself reading the box. If I understand this correctly this means I have a very interesting power indeed. Just like a game.

But wait, it said skill, does that mean I have other skills? Growing curious I whispered in a quiet voice, "skill list." Suddenly a box appeared before me, making my eyes widen in surprise.

"Did you say something Yami?" a girl sitting besides me, Karua, asked.

I blinked, "n-no, nothing," I said looking down at my meal, hoping she would ignore me.

"What a weirdo," somebody whispered, which I promptly ignored. I freaking hate kids.

Instead I focused on the box before me. It was a menu list showing me all the skills I had. Apparently I already had two;

Gamer's Mind Lv-MAX Allows user to calmly and logically think things through. Allows peaceful state of mind, immune to psychological status and effects.

Gamer's Body Lv-MAX

Grants the user a body that allows the user to live the real world according to the status he possess.

Okay, that's actually understable. I understand Gamer's body, meaning my body will work according to the HP and SP bar I have. Meaning the lower my HP the lower my actual health will be. And the same for my stamina.

And Gamer's mind is probably why I'm not freaking the fuck out right now. Amazing, truly amazing. So I can't get freaked out huh? Could be useful.

I blinked, I need to check something, "Menu?" And just like that a new box opened up showing off my menu card. Okay let's see here;

Yami, (No Title) Level- 1 (0/200) This had my name and level. Hm, that bracket must be how much experience I have left to level up. And title, I suppose that makes sense, I'm supposed to be an orphan, a nobody, hence no title.

HP- 50/50 SP- 25/25 CP- 25/25 CONTROL- 20% Allegiance- Konoha Civilian Okay this isn't too bad. I'm supposed to be eight years old. An eight year old can't be freaking immortal. HP means health points, SP means stamina points. Could CP mean chakra points? Most likely yes. And CONTROL, obviously that meant chakra control, but how did it apply into the game mechanics?

I know chakra control in important for anyone, it determines how much chakra isn't being wasted...hm, maybe CP is how chakara I have totally and CONTROL is how much I can use without everything being wasted. Hm, makes sense;

Ping!

Your INT has gone up by 1 for thinking logically!

I blinked as I looked to my status, and sure enough;

STR- 2 VIT- 2 DEX- 2 INT- 6 CHA- 4 CC- 3 LUC- 1 My INT has gone up by one. Usually in games like this logical thinking would result in WIS going up, I'm guessing since this game doesn't have WIS, INT fills in that roll instead.

The rest of my stats were...okay, for a child. My physical side never was very strong. But my brain and chakra were decent, assuming CHA meant chakra and not charisma. Which I think it did.

Points- 0 Money- 0R And finally I had no points to allot and no money. No wonder my LUCK was only 1. Great. I looked around, the kids were nearly done, a few staring at me giving me weird looks. Why..oh, right, food.
