Naruto: Advance

Konohagakure Village, Naruto's Apartment

Naruto Uzumaki abruptly woke up in his modest apartment in Konoha, with the orange rays of the sun filtering through the half-open curtains. It was a day after his graduation as a ninja, something special. It can't be called normal to steal the Forbidden Scroll from the Hokage Tower guided by a master, learn a jutsu from the scroll, and end up using that same jutsu to defeat the master himself.

After these events, Naruto returned to his apartment tired and, after getting ready for sleep, fell like a log onto his bed. But some time later, a sound woke him up.

"What...?" said Naruto with a bewildered look as he searched around for the source of the noise, finding nothing in sight. Still wanting to sleep, Naruto paid no attention and laid back down.

DingDingDing

[Congratulations Naruto Uzumaki, you have obtained the Advancement System]

"AHHHHH! What was that?" shouted Naruto, quickly jumping out of bed and nervously scanning the surroundings. But he didn't have to look far; the culprit was right in front of him.

"Ummm... what is this, a sign?" said Naruto, raising an eyebrow as he looked at a mysterious floating screen. It seemed odd; the screen didn't appear to be held by anything and he could see through it.

Curious, Naruto couldn't help but try to touch the screen with a finger. The moment he did, his finger passed through it. But after passing through, the screen blinked and its content changed, startling Naruto.

[The Advancement System aims to help the user grow to their full potential and break through any limitations they encounter. The system will provide missions that, depending on their content, will offer various rewards. There may be several reasons for mission creation, but most will be training missions for the user's advancement as a ninja.]

"Advancement System? What nonsense is this? WHOEVER IS PLAYING THIS JOKE, COME OUT NOW! DATTEBAYO," said Naruto, but received no response.

He was the village's biggest prankster; he had played jokes on most Leaf villagers, especially those who treated him as less than a person. That's why his first thought was that someone had decided to retaliate for a prank he had pulled.

He took some time to search his entire apartment and the surroundings, but found nothing. As he searched, he noticed the floating screen following him all the time. So, he sat on his bed cross-legged, staring at the screen with a furrowed brow.

"Ummm, what could this be? It doesn't seem like a joke," said Naruto, confused as he looked at the screen. With no other options, he decided to reread what the screen said and try to understand it.

Upon seeing the screen's contents, Naruto understood that this "Advancement System" would help him become stronger by giving him missions. This made his eyes light up with excitement at the thought of becoming stronger.

Unable to wait any longer, he decided to touch the screen again.

[Think or say the word 'Status']

"...Status?" said Naruto, a little uncertain with the strange word. Doing as the screen asked, the content changed.

Naruto was surprised by all the information on the screen; he couldn't understand all those numbers and words. But something caught his attention.

'Member of the Uzumaki Clan...' he thought bewilderedly, causing another screen to appear.

[Uzumaki Clan Member:

The Uzumaki Clan was a prominent clan from Uzushiogakure; they were known for their use of Fuinjutsu, employing seals resembling the clan emblem. Clan members possess a powerful life force that grants them incredible longevity. Their skill in Fuinjutsu was the same reason they were feared and subsequently exterminated.

You are a surviving member of this clan, thus you have superior vitality compared to most and more chakra than others. You also have a latent talent in Fuinjutsu.]

Naruto hadn't expected to be part of a clan; he had thought all his life that he was an orphan and had no blood relatives. Now, a floating thing appeared telling him he was a member of a ninja clan.

Although it also hurt him to know that this same clan had been exterminated and he was its last member. He had hoped to have a family somewhere, but it seemed not to be possible.

'Fuinjutsu... ahhh! I don't remember what that was; maybe it's some technique I'm missing,' thought Naruto, shaking his head trying to remember without success. 'Well, it doesn't matter, I'll think about it later,' he said nonchalantly, looking back at his status.

"Wait, what do you mean by false Genin, damn thing!" said Naruto with annoyance upon seeing what the observation said.
