Naruto was sitting in his bed trying to figure out which screen he should look at first. "Kurama, do you think I should check out my skills first or my profile?" Naruto inquired of his tenant.
When Kurama didn't answer right away, Naruto started to get worried that he would have to make this decision on his own though before Naruto was able to holler at Kurama once more; the voice of his tenant came rolling throughout his mind. "I would suggest that you spend some time looking at this profile since it's a new aspect of your bloodline that we haven't seen yet." Kurama informed his host.
Hearing this was all the incentive that Naruto needed. "Profile." Naruto muttered. Just like every other time, a screen popped in front of Naruto. Though unlike with the other screens this one was different. On the screen, Naruto could see an image of himself and underneath this picture was a number. "It says that I am only level 2...how is that?" Naruto inquired of himself.
Though Naruto wasn't speaking to his tenant, this didn't stop Kurama from responding. "Naruto, you only know how to use one Jutsu so this shouldn't come as a surprise to you. Though I feel that with each skill that you acquire and level up as well as completing mission objectives; then you will be able to level up. I would also like to suggest that you spend some time learning some other Jutsu." Kurama explained in his familiar deep and raspy voice.
Even though Naruto hated to admit it, he understood where Kurama was coming from. "Alright Kurama, I will spend some time looking for Jutsu that will suit me." Naruto informed his tenant.
When Naruto's thought finished its course through his mind, another screen burst into the world.
New Mission Acquired: Updating Your Arsenal
Mission Details: Spend time expanding your Jutsu knowledge.
Requirements: Find out your Chakra Nature.
Rewards: A Genin level Jutsu that fits your natural chakra affinity.
Failure: Jutsu will be more difficult to master.
Accept: Yes/No
Knowing that having more Jutsu would allow him to be a better Ninja, Naruto quickly accepted the mission with plans to use his time the next day to find out what his chakra nature is. With the mission now accepted, Naruto exited off the mission screen so he could continue to explore his profile.
Naruto went back to looking at his level which allowed him to see that there was a red exclamation point attached to it. Wanting to know what the exclamation was for Naruto moved his finger towards it and clicked on it which brought up another screen. This screen just like the profile, was a new one and from examining the screen; Naruto learned that it was known as the Trait screen.
On the screen was a message that was meant to inform Naruto what the screen was for.
"Welcome to the Trait screen. With each level that you gain, you will receive trait points that you will be able to spend."
Since he leveled up, Naruto assumed that he should have a point to spend and from actively looking over the screen he noticed that this was true. "Kurama, which of these traits should I spend a point to unlock?" Naruto asked of his tenant.
"That is a question you will have to answer yourself Naruto. These traits seem like they will help develop who you are which is something that only you should have a decision in making." Kurama explained to his host in hopes that he understood what needed to be done.
Though Naruto was slightly annoyed that Kurama wouldn't help him in this decision, he knew that the fox was correct in leaving him to choose by himself. Naruto looked through the list of traits until he came to one that seemed of interest to him.
Clicking on the trait, Naruto watched as a text box appeared on the screen.
"One of the Guys: This trait will allow it's male user to have a higher sex appeal to those of the same gender though these individuals have to already have an attraction to their gender."
Naruto thought that this was the perfect trait for him to choose since he felt that he needed some help in that department. Naruto immediately spent his available trait point. Now that he had completed looking through his profile and trait menus, he decided that it was time to look at his skills since he remembered that he had acquired a new skill as well as leveled one up.
"Skills." Naruto whispered which brought up the menu that he was searching for.
Once again, Naruto noticed that there were two text boxes on the screen. Clicking on the first box, Naruto read what was contained within it.
"New Skill Acquired: Interrogation (Level 1)- This skill will allow the user to gain intel from those that they are questioning. As the skill improves, the user will begin to gain a reputation that will precede them which will make interrogations go more smoothly."
Once finishing with this text box, Naruto was quick in his movements to bring up the next one.
"Congratulations. Your skill The Coder's Eyes has been leveled up, please click on the skill and upgrade it."
Following the instruction from the text box, Naruto clicked the skill that he was told to and when he did, a screen like the Trait screen. Almost immediately, Naruto spotted an upgrade that interested him. Clicking on the upgrade, Naruto started to read the description that it contained.
"Genetic Code: This upgrade will allow the user to alter their genetic code as well as the genetic code of others."
After reading the description, Naruto knew that this was the upgrade that he wanted. Spending the point that he had available, Naruto closed out of it once he was finished.
Since Naruto finished everything that he planned on, he closed out of every screen that he had pulled up and was just about to call it a day when he suddenly wanted to check on the progress of The Grass Invasion mission. "Missions." Naruto muttered out.
Like usual, the screen that Naruto searched for appeared and once it did; Naruto quickly clicked on the mission that he was searching for.
Mission: The Grass Invasion
