Naruto: The Shadow Game System.

I quickly scarfed down my breakfast and put the tray away for washing. I followed the crowd out of the orphanage as we walked down the streets of Konoha. Ksume was at the head of our little group, guide us through the streets while people smiled and waved at us.

I looked at them all, there were so many ethnicities here, blonde caucasians, a lot of them with japanese features. A few korea and even, I think, a few chinese people. But there were also white people her and people with weird hair colours like blue and green. Natural or not I have no clue.

As we walked through I noticed most of the people in the streets had a level from 5 to 20. I very rarely saw anyone passing that level, and when I did it was sometimes a kid no older than 13! I would have been shocked, but most of those kids had a title over their heads that read, 'Genin of Konoha', which meant they were ninja. Which actually made sense.

So that mean that civilians were just below level 20 while ninjas were generally above. Hm, makes sense I suppose.

The kids were all excited, but kept their gossiping to whispers around Ksume, which did make sense. I was left out of all the socialising, guess I was supposed to be an outcast of sorts huh?

Soon however we approached the gates of an academy and I was a little taken back about how accurate all of this was too the manga. I never saw the anime, only read the manga, saw some things might be out of my reach, but so far it seemed I wouldn't be totally lost.

Ping!

Quest completed! Join the academy on time!

As an orphan you don't really have much of a life, so when an opportunity comes to become something amazing, you damn well better take it!

Reach the academy before 9 AM!

Rewards; Ninja training +20 EXP I blinked, I opened up my menu and sure enough I had gained 20 experience points, only a hundred and eighty to go.

"Alright children, wait here," Ksume called out causing us to all stop in the academy's front yard. The kids immediately began to look around, peeking into classroom windows, finding a few of the older years sitting inside lectures. I myself was curious enough to find an open window near the side from which I could hear the lecture coming from within,

"-And who can tell me what Madara's most famous jutsu?" asked the lecturer. The man had grey hair, chewed on a toothpick and had his leaf headband tied as a bandana around his head. I looked at his name and title;

Mizuki, Chunin of Konoha Lv- 41 REP- 0 (Isn't aware of your existence) My eyes went wide, this guy was Mizuki?! Holy shit! His level is through the roof! And he's one of the first people Naruto fights?! Fuck me man just how strong are people?!

"Anyone?" Mizuki asked again with a deep sigh, "come on kids, you have to know this. This'll be in your history finals!" I looked around, no one was answering the man. I blinked, hmm, might as well. I cleared my throat and spoke up, "Madara's favorite jutsu was the Great Fireball jutsu. He even made it a right of passage for the Uchiha clan, if a member can't perform it along with awakening their sharingan then they weren't considered Uchiha."

Mizuki's eyes immediately landed on me as slowly the rest of the lecture hall realised I was the one who spoke up.

The chunin looked amused as he smiled at me, "not bad kid. You one of the orphans starting out today?"

I nodded, "yes. Hello, nice to meet you."

The class exploded into laughter as Mizuki himself chuckled a bit. "Alright kid, I got to say you're pretty smart," the man smiled, and from what I could tell it was a real smile, "tell me, do you think you can answer a few more questions?"

Ping!

Quest Alert!

No risk for failure? Also a mystery reward Hell yeah! I immediately pressed yes and turned to Mizuki and smiled, "bring it." "Oh, confident one aren't you?" Mizuki spat out his toothpick, "alright kid tell me, which clan does the first Hokage belong to?"

"Senju clan," I answer immediately.

Ping!

+ 1 stat point!

Mizuki blinked, "r-right. Next question, who was considered a SS rank threat that-"

"-Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage also known as the Yellow Flash," I interrupted him before he had a chance to finish.

Ping!

+ 1 stat point!

Mizuki raised an eyebrow, "alright...when was the first and second Ninja war fought?"

This made me pause. I didn't have an exact date, the manga and anime never established a proper timeline...but why? Maybe they don't use time lines here? Maybe it was based on historical events, all types of civilizations based any time line around that so…

"It happened around 70 years ago," I flinched, "I'm sorry I can't be more specific."

Mizuki snorted, "no problem, that's much more than I'll get out of these morons," he said glaring at the kid who now looked embarrassed to be shown up by an orphan like me. I hope this doesn't make them….oh shit.

I just saw the REP score, or the reputation score, floating over their heads slowly turn from 0, which I assume is neutral, to -5. I'm guessing they all hate me now.

Ping!

+ 1 stat point!

"Anyway kid, one last question," this time he smiled evilly, "what's worse? A ninja who craves power or a weak ninja?" Ah, philosophy, nice. I'm guessing based on my answer he'll try and recruit me into his cause of being a traitor. Wonderful.

I smiled, "that depends on the ninja."

"What do you mean?" the chunin asked.
