Naruto: Simulation Gamer

[WhiteAuthor]

The words only seemed to annoy her further as Shizue gripped her kunai as tightly as she could before rushing forwards, she was fast, much faster than Masato had expected her to be.



Taking out his own kunai, Masato instantly entered into a combat stance as best as he could however he had grossly overestimated his own fighting capabilities, before coming to this world he had been merely a salaryman who rarely if ever took part in any kind of sports, let alone anything related to combat, the most combat related thing he had done was once watch a karate tournament through his television back home whilst eating popcorn.



Up until now, in every single encounter that he had gone through, he had used the element of surprise or simply relied on his jutsus that he had been given to escape, he hadn't actually fought directly with anyone, not a single time since he had started the simulations or come to the naruto world. All of his kills could in a way be called cowardly sneak attacks, Masato himself however hadn't seen it that way, this was a world of ninjas, in a way it could be said that he had just been very good at the job that he had been handed.. However there was more to this world than just stealth.



After all these were not regular ninjas from his own world, these were all super powered ninjas who could throw what could only be called as disastrous magic around anytime that they wished to.



'Fuck.' Masato thought as Shizue's kunai dug into his arm easily slicing through it, leaving a deep slash wound almost instantly as soon as the battle had begun.



Jumping backwards to create more distance, he threw the kunai that he had tried to parry her attack with directly towards her and without wasting for a single second, his hands formed the hand signs for the water ball jutsu.



His chest expanded for a moment as the chakra coursed through his body before he released it, a small ball of water that shot at high speeds directly towards Shizue who had just parried away his thrown kunai with her own.



The girl didn't hesitate as she simply stepped to the side, the attack itself had been pitiful and that wasn't even the worst part, Masato's chakra reserves had practically drained down to nothing from that single attack.



'What… why the hell did a simple water ball jutsu take that much chakra.' Masato thought in pure confusion and shock as he sensed his own dwindling reserves that were almost down to zero by this point and then in the very next instant his mind came up with the realisation.



'I just used a water style jutsu without using any body of water, thus my chakra had to create the water itself, thus using a much larger quantity of chakra than what is usually needed for the damned jutsu. I thought that was a fanfiction only thing darned it. And this body obviously doesn't have the ability to use the water from the air moisture like Tobirama did… fuck, fuck.' Masato thought as he watched Shizue head towards him at increasing speeds.



He lifted his arms to block however that much was useless and so was jumping backwards as she simply followed after him, her hand waving as she continued slashing, continued cutting down chunks of flesh from his body until his hands had practically turned into bloody useless rags that hung by his sides.



"I guess this is it… you know Shizue… I always did hate your ass, you always thought so much of yourself, just like him. God, I wish you fucking die right after you kill me." Masato said, his words were not his actual feelings, he didn't harbor any hatred towards the girl, how could he harbor any hate towards a thing, what was practically an object in his mind, however he needed her to finish the job quicker, Masato wasn't a masochist, he didn't enjoy the feeling of pain.



That wasn't the only reason that he had about choosing her to both practice his combat on and to kill him however, there was another reason, this other reason was also why he had made Hana kill him during the previous simulation.



Masato couldn't truly bring his mind to the point where he could kill himself, he believed himself to be a real person, and his own body as the only real thing in the entire simulation, even though his conscious mind knew that it wasn't true, his subconscious begged to differ. That was the reason why he had enraged Shizue to this point and the reason he had whispered those words to Hana when she had been on the brink of death.



Shizue didn't disappoint as she released what could only be called a scream as she lifted her kunai higher and directly thrust it towards his neck, Masato didn't move away, he couldn't even if he had tried to.



The kunai directly pierced through his throat and its point ended up on the other side, passing clean through.



"You bastard, you fucking bastard, I treated you like family, Kazuha treated you like family, he trusted you, I trusted you. WE TRUSTED YOU." Shizue screamed as she pulled out her kunai and then proceeded to thrust it back down again and again and again, continuing to mutilate Masato as he was dying, his vision already darkening.



Finally… the red screen appeared once more as the world around him froze, leaving Shizue frozen with an expression of pure betrayal, tears streaming down her face whilst her mouth was open, still mid shout and arm raised up, ready to thrust back down towards his body for yet another attack.



[ Ding! ]



[ Simulation has Failed. ]



[ Retry? ] [ Quit. ]



'Quit.' Masato thought and in the very next second, the darkness came and with it, once more all of his senses were lost, leaving him in a sort of limbo for a few long moments as the system transferred his mind back to his own body.

A mere moment later, his senses returned to him, the expected pain of his utterly damaged body as well as the horrid smell of blood and all other kinds of fluids that Masato would rather not think about.



Quickly looking around and noticing that nothing much had changed, Masato laid back down as he slowly released a sigh, he was quite tired, not physically but rather mentally, his mind hadn't truly rested in days whilst inside of the simulation.



'I spent around eight days all together inside of the simulation, with a time dilation of ten thousand… thats around a minute and nine seconds or so, not a lot but definitely much longer than the previous three seconds.' Masato thought as he slightly shook his head and then opened the status menu.



'Status' He thought and the system as always responded by showing the blue holographic screen in front of him, floating there.



[ Status ]



[ Name: Rin ]



[ Age: 14 ]



[ Gender: Male ]



[ Job: Hidden Leaf Genin ]



[ Level: 6 ] [ 130 / 350 ]



[ Physical : F ] [ 15 / 100 ]



[ Mental : F ] [ 15 / 100 ]



[ Chakra : F ]



[ Talent : Cooking ]



[ Bloodline: None ]



[ Available Status Points : 30 ]



[ Overall Comprehensive Description: A useless Fodder. ]



Looking over at the status screen infront of him, Masato nodded his head as he lifted his only arm and scratched his chin in thought for a moment.



'So it did consider level one as a level up and thus gave me ten status points last time. Alright… that's decent I guess, now the question is on which should I use the status points first.' Masato thought as his eyes wandered back to the mental and physical stats.

'Mental would have been better if it actually had any kind of increase on my intelligence or anything similar however it does not, it's actually interesting, I don't know exactly what would give a natural increase to a shinobis spiritual part of his chakra, it most certainly isnt them getting smarter… still that can be something that I research in the future when I try and start increasing my stats with effort aswell instead of just investing status points into them.' Masato thought before he quickly invested all of his points into his physical stat.



[ Physical : F ] [ 45 / 100 ]



'Alright… next turn, I should try and gain as much combat experience as I can whilst battling Shizue… though im not particularly fond of the idea of dying over and over again, it… it's better to die inside of a simulation than in the real world. After that, I should head back to the Uzumaki house and try learning as much as I can from those books whilst also grinding out the five kills, I still have four more kills on each of them, thats one hundred and twenty experience points that I would rather not leave on the table.' Masato thought before laying down slightly more onto the bed and closing his eyes.



'I can just use the next turn to head back to the house, that should give me a few days of rest whilst I study fuinjutsu and then I can go back to farming for combat experience for a few turns once I'm rested and then rince and repeat until i fully finish grinding the experience thats left before completing the simulation once and for all.' Masato thought to himself as he once more opened the simulation menu.



[ System Simulation. ]



[ Rank F Simulation ] [ Start ]



[ Ding! ]



[ Restarting previous Rank F Simulation. ]



[ Ding! ]



[ Welcome Back Simulation Gamer. ]



His senses once more vanished as his mind was torn from his body and thrown back into the limbo between simulation and reality before it was once more thrown inside the body of Araya who just snapped his eyes open inside of a cave in the land of rain after having been in a coma from a genjutsu launched by a hidden leaf shinobi.



Time passed, on the outside not so much, it barely moved, seconds turning into minutes. To the outside world, Masato or rather Rin was completely asleep on the bed. There was no chakra signature coming off of him despite him being inside of simulation, there however was a change, if someone were to use a scan on his brain, they would notice that his brain was much more active than it had any right to be whilst someone simply slept.



The system took his mind and put it through a simulation however whilst the simulation was maintained through the system's powers, his own mind and actions were still controlled by his own brain. In a way what the system did was similar to a virtual reality machine, it would grant the world and the game however a person still had to use their own brain to decide their actions inside of the game they were in.



Finally… around five minutes later, Masatos eyes snapped open once more, but this time they were different, it was a certain change that couldn't be faked even if one tried, it was something that Masato couldn't even act out even though his abilities at changing his emotions had dramatically improved whilst in the simulation.



The eyes were in a way flatter, somehow seeming like they absorbed more of the light than they had before even though there had been no physical change to his body.



'I… I'm somewhat used to… no I can deal with the pain and fear of death now… but I'm still not used to it. Despite dying repeatadly… thats still a hurdle that I haven't cleared yet.' Masato thought before releasing a long exhausted sigh.

It was at that moment that the ring of the bell sounded out inside of his mind once more, that sound that he had been awaiting for quite a while now.



[ Ding! ]



[ User has completed his first Simulation! ]



[ Rewards are being granted! ]



[ One Stat Rank Up Point. ]



[ Claim? ]



'Claim' Masato thought almost instantly, feeling slightly annoyed that the system even had to ask after all that he had gone through to simply gain that reward. His mind wandered back to the last thirty six days, that's how much time had passed cumulatively inside of the system simulation.



Twenty eight days with the Uzumaki family that he had spent learning as much about Fuinjutsu as he could, though it hadn't been exactly fruitful, Akihiko as he had said was merely a civilian and so was his wife, despite them knowing a bit about Fuinjutsu, his explanations weren't exactly the best, for Uzumaki, the way that they understood Fuinjutsu was more based on instinct and talent rather than on pure knowledge, sometimes the man would explain how he understood a concept of sealing and it would sound like complete incoherent garbage to Masato.



That however hadn't been the issue and the reason for his exhaustion and annoyance, it had been the part about figuring out how to get back to the Uzumaki family house that had caused it. He had spent around two days or forty eight hours if combined all together fighting with Shizue. That meant that he had spent around six entire days of repeated failures and having to run for hours only to find the exact way to get back to the house, to find the exact way to drop down the river and the timing of it. Even though he had gotten everything perfectly mapped out, sometimes it still didn't work and he would have to repeat the simulation once more, there were always tiny minor changes in every single simulation, no one could perfectly act out the same events exactly how they had done it before even if they tried.



'With that aside… It's finally done.' Masato thought to himself as he opened his status menu and directly upgraded his mental stat without wasting a single second, upgrading the physical stat would be a waste since he was already almost halfway to upgrading it with points alone.



[ Mental : E ] [ 0 / 100 ]



'The points… they don't increase, that's at least good to know, if they increased together with the increase in experience required to level up, it would have been a complete disaster, It would have likely taken me centuries to get to the higher ranks.' Masato thought before he tore his gaze away from the glowing blue status panel, causing it to vanish into thin air once more almost as instantly as he had dismissed it inside of his mind.



It was at that very moment that a scream ripped through the entire medical tent, another patient waking up and finding himself either dismembered or feeling enough pain in his body that would make any sane man go insane. It was a hard fact to accept however most of the people who ended up in this medical tent would never be able to be the same person that they had been before the war had started.



Not everyone had the capabilities of Tsunade who could regenerate and practically reattach her limbs or even cultivate entirely new limbs and switch bodies like Orochimaru, in fact people who could do that were so rare that they were practically a diamond inside of a massive dune in the desert.



'Now that I think about it… what am I going to do about these missing limbs, I could try and see if I can somehow learn some kind of medical ninjutsu inside of the later simulations or maybe get some kind of reward that would help me get new limbs or even switch bodies like orochimaru, the first option is definitely more favourable however as it could increase my value inside of Konoha by leagues and bounds, that would also bring attention that I'd rather not have on me but it wouldn't be the end of the world.' Masato thought as he hummed slightly whilst he looked down at his missing right arm and his leg.



'Even if none of that mattered and I'd only get in trouble, I still need to do it. Missing two limbs inside of this world is practically a death sentence, I need to get this fixed and I need to do it rather quickly… unless the war is coming to a close soon, if it is then I'd have quite a few years of peace before shit hits the fan again.'



Releasing what felt like the hundredth sigh of the day, Masato closed his eyes and for the first time since he had come inside of this world, from the first time since he had died to that damned truck after coming out of his work place, he fell asleep in his new body, in his new own body, he had never truly considered Araya's body as his own even if he had lived more inside of it than he had lived inside of the body of Rin.



The medical tent around him continued as usual, none the wiser to the changes that had happened to the small fourteen year old boy laid down on one of its beds. The medical ninjas still continued their work whilst the injured continued ramping up as the battles outside continued.



The Third Shinobi World War was very much still in action.

Releasing a long groan filled with discomfort, Masato slowly lifted his upper body from the bed as his eyes lazily opened, closing and opening a few times as they got used to the light.

Looking down at his body with his eyes now fully opened, he froze for a moment, he still had not gotten used to his body being practically broken apart, he had spent most of his time inside of the simulation since he had come inside of this world after all.



It was at that moment before he could focus or think more about his circumstances that the curtain opened and inside came the same female medical ninja that he had first seen for a few minutes ago, this body had seen her merely last night however his mind hadn't seen her in over a month.



"Ah your awake, thats good. You'll be soon discharged later today and will then be escorted back to Konoha. We thank you for your service, you will get the further details when you arrive back home." The woman said, her voice somber and calm as she read out the exact details of what he had to do whilst on the road so that his injuries wouldn't worsen.



"Excuse me… if I may ask something." Masato spoke as he interrupted her mid speech, raising his only hand up.



"Yes?" The woman asked back as she lifted her eyes from the paper that she had been reading out back to him.



"How… am i going to go back to the village, as you can see… I'm not able to move. What method of transportation will be used?" Masato asked curiously, he had thought about it but he couldn't really know exactly what, though he guessed that It would likely be some kind of carriage.



"Ah, yes, you will be transported together with the rest of those being discharged by Namikaze Minato-san." The woman replied as she nodded her head before continuing her talk that she had clearly already done hundreds of times by this point, about how everyone was thankful for their service and how they would be taken care of well by the hidden leaf because of their service.



Masato however wasn't particularly even listening to her at this point, his eyes were practically shining whilst his mind ran a hundred miles a second, his thoughts completely side tracker from earlier by the mention of a single name, a single man.



'Minato… the fuckin yellow flash will get to transport me. I actually get to meet someone from the anime. I get to meet Minato. MINATO.' Masato thought in what could only be called as pure giddy boyish excitement, he had arrived at the naruto world for weeks now however he hadn't met a single person that he recognised, he had been stuck on a bed and inside of the simulation throughout the entire time.



'Why though… I guess his flying raijin jutsu is too useful to not be used during the war, especially with transportation of the injured, back in the anime it was made to seem like the man only used it when battling during the third ninja world war, I guess he also used it like this when there were no battles he needed to partake in.' Masato thought as his eyes once more focused onto the medical ninja who had just finished reading the entire paper in her hands before turning around and walking out of the small area where Masato's bed was.



'What did she say… whatever, it wasn't anything important anyways, it just sounded like the will of fire propaganda bullshit.' Masato thought as he laid down fully once more and closed his eyes as he waited.



Seconds turned into minutes and then hours and around three hours and fifteen minutes later, another ninja arrived.



Masato's eyes snapped open instantly as he lifted his upper body.

"Rin Arasaka correct? You will now be escorted towards the transport location. I will be helping you dress up and then get you there." The man said as he walked towards Masato and offered his hand.



Lifting his only remaining arm, Masato grasped his hand as he tried his best to use as much power as he could and barely managed to right himself up before sliding his only remaining leg onto the floor and standing up with the help of the man who had wrapped his other arm around his torso.



For the next few minutes, the man helped Masato put his ninja clothes, the only ones that he had available back on before he used his strength to put Masato on his back and started walking out of the medical tent.



Masatos current body or rather Rin Arasaka was just a fourteen year old boy, he wasn't tall by any measure of the word, barely reaching five foot three, with a build that held mostly muscle but looked rather malnourished.



The man carried Masato out into the open where the sight of the rest of the camp came into view. Dozens of tents strewn throughout the area, hundreds of shinobi at different posts whilst tens of others moved around, likely either delivering news or doing other kinds of jobs inside of the camp.



Looking around Masato also noticed the rest of the injured shinobi that were being discharged, he himself was one of the ones in the worst condition, most of the ones being discharged had missing limbs however rarely were there any that had lost two limbs an still survived.



As the walk through the camp continued, the destination finally came into view, and Masato instantly noticed the massive circle engraved onto the ground, it was clearly a Fuinjutus seal.



'So he's using that to do mass teleportation at a lower chakra cost, likely the seal takes some chakra from all of the people inside it and maybe even chakra from a set group of shinobi around so that Minato never bears the full brunt of the exhaustion, thus keeping him in good shape and available to be deployed onto the battlefield at any moment.' Masato thought as he lifted his gaze up at the cloudy sky up above.



'This… I guess this is the start huh… the real start of my ninja journey.'
