Chapter 10
'Nothing, not even one point in Chk, in Int, Wis, or a skill level up, so the higher level they are the harder it becomes, guess I had to expect that, but still, I am nowhere near Shikamaru Intelligence or Sasuke Strenght, what am I supposed to do in just a month to catch up with all the others?' I asked myself, but I already knew the answer.
Work to the bone or even beyond that.
" Naruto Uzumaki."
THIS IS THE TENTH TIME I GET INTERRUPTED.
" Yes, teacher?"
" Answer the question on the board."
And that I did, my new intelligence doing its job in letting me remember things I had listened to during classes.
" Mhh." The teacher answered my correct answer after returning back to his lesson.
' Annoying people apart, this day is strange, no one is reacting to my correct answers, the teachers are calling me more than usual, and Shikamaru is sleeping, he usually sleeps, but not this much.'
" Hey dude, everything ok?" I whispered to Shikamaru.
" Yeah, just had to deal with some trash before class and now I am tired." He answered with a flat tone.
" Got it."
I don't know why but I don't think he was actually talking about real trash.
The day went on like that until the time for our daily physical training arrived, and just like last time the Show off quest also appeared, this time though no jutsu Goal was present.
First were Shuriken and Kunai throwing practice I was able to hit 4/5 of my Kunais but only 3/10 Shurikens, I need to get a shuriken as soon as possible, I at least gained a level in its corresponding skill. ( 70 XP)
And now the part I was expecting the least, the sparring.
" Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka."
" Oh, this won't even be a challenge," Kiba said with a smug smile.
" No dogs allowed," Iruka said seeing Kiba approach Akamaru.
" Still an easy challenge."
I didn't say anything simply reading myself, the fight about to come would most likely end with a loss, Kiba was one of the guys that were able to hit hard, harder than I could tank, so I hope with my new stats and skills I will be able to beat him.
We looked at each other, his eyes were filled with pity as if he already knew the outcome of this fight, that annoyed me, why? Why does everyone see me as the weak guy they can push around?
" Begin."
Kiba dashed towards closing the distance in around a second and throwing a punch towards my face.
While we were waiting I used Observe on him and discovered something quite interesting.
-------------------------
Kiba Inuzuka Lv.10
Occupation: Academy Student Age:12
Stats
Str:15
Vit:10
End:20
Agi:50
Int:5
Wis:5
Chk:10
Per: 50
Perks:

-------------------------
'He is fast, faster than the rabbit.'
The punch connected with my jaw, and he expected me to fly away, but I didn't even move an inch.
-------------------------
-5 HP
-------------------------
'But that's it.'
Using the opportunity I grabbed the arm of Kiba and followed with a kick to his face.
-------------------------
-30 HP
Caused Stunned on Kiba Inuzuka.
-------------------------
Without wasting a second I continued hitting Kiba, stomach, legs, arms, face, and anything that was part of his body had been hit.
I wasn't holding back, I gave my everything, for all those jokes, for all those mean comments, for all those insults, they will get back everything.
A strange red aura covered my eyes for a split second but it quickly dissipated Gamer's Mind going back full throttle and making me return to normal.
I had hit him for quite a while, but I had never aimed for any vitals, the most dangerous thing I had hit until now was his nose, which didn't even break.
He was on the ground panting but not yielding.
I was about to step on his stomach but he quickly got back up and hit me with both of his feet on my face.
-------------------------
-100 HP
-------------------------
I was forced to take a step back only to step forward and plant my forehead on his.
He fall to the ground face flat and didn't give any signs of wanting to get back up.
I had done it, I had defeated a clan kid, the weakest one, but still a clan kid, and from now on, my road is only going up.
" Naruto Uzumaki Wins."
-------------------------
+100 XP
-------------------------
No one said anything, no kid congratulated me, Iruka was the only teacher watching me with proud eyes, and surely I hadn't done anything impressive in their eyes, only defeating a kid my age, but for me, it meant something very important.
It meant I had the same potential as them.
.
.
.
I lost a fight and won another one, rewarding another 80 XP, actually, the only reason I had won against Kiba was because of his cockiness, which resulted in his battered state, and when he realized who he was actually fighting with it was already too late, but a win is a win, I don't care if it's through sly means. ( 200 XP quest reward)
-------------------------
Final Reward: 270 XP, 2700 Ryo
XP: 480/3000
Ryo: 20340
-------------------------
' I gained another 50 XP from the quest reward, unlike the last time when I only gained 170.'
While heading outside I remembered something important I had to still ask Gramps.
About who I am and who my parents were.
.
.
.
" Who are Uzumaki's?" I straight up asked The Third Hokage right on his face.
He looked at me, then at the window for a second, he shook his head and looked back at me.
" From where should I start?" He asked himself.
