PREPERATION TIME!!
LAST TIME:
Everything else was greyed out for the moment and as I had 5 perk points I selected both of them as I had enough chakra regeneration (68.4 cp per sec) to maintain the sharingan effectively, plus it's my family legacy and then it's the sharingan who doesn't want that? So I selected both of them and said "stats".
NOW:
After fiddling with my stats screen a bit I looked at the time which showed 3:34 A.M, realizing that I have about 4 hours before breakfast I slipped open the window and used wall walking to climb down the building, I then went back to the clearing and started my workout routine. After about 2 and a half hour of workout and a gain of 2STR, 2VIT and 1DEX I sat down and decided to figure out how to proceed with my time before graduation. As I was about to plan for the future I suddenly realised that I had not yet used the items that I have gained from that OP quest rewards. So I opened up my inventory and got out the scrolls and absorbed them.

ERROR
Skill requirements not met: to learn the shunshin no jutsu you have to have 100+ DEX.
I groaned as I realised that the shunshin is a speed skill so of course it has to have a minimum speed requirement…I pulled out the chakra paper from my inventory and sent some chakra into it…the paper crumpled signifying that I had a lightning affinity, 'probably from dad' I smiled at the thought before I started to feel giddy as I realised the best part of my rewards was still remaining as sent some chakra into my eyes and activated my 1 tomoe sharingan.
The experience seeing through the copy wheel eyes is quite exhilarating, a red tinge overcame my vision and the perception of my vision improved drastically, I can see a ladybird flapping its wings in slow motion as I pinpointed the direction where it was going the path it will take and the place it will drop all within a fraction of a second. The increased perception was disorienting the first time so I immediately shut my eyes as my mind get used to the increased perception of time. Using the sharingan is quite an experience as when your vision turns red you lose the quality of eyesight as colours are removed and your vision basically turns into a mixture of colours red white and black but the details that the sharingan can catch are a sight to behold. I can see the scales on the wings of the bug if I channel more chakra into my eyes the motion of the leaves with each gust of wing could be predicted, the movement of the grass with those leaf blades dancing in an incomprehensible pattern yet I can tell what would happen next. The amount of power these eyes give me is mind numbing and I suddenly realised that the only reason I will not succumb to the curse of hatred will be because of gamer's mind.
The intoxicated feeling of power that activation the sharingan provides gave me a better understanding why the uchiha's love power, Just the basic sharingan can hold so much power that one can predict nature will surely make someone hesitate to break the moral compass and get another feel of what it would be like to feel more, to feel even the nature obey your commands is something that has corrupted many uchiha's before me and I realised that there is nothing I can do to save my clan for extension. The lust for power that I sometimes feel is basically dulled down emotions because of gamer's mind that prevent me from going down the route of power over everything that I hold precious. The respect I had for Itachi increased several times during those moments when I realised that I have been using my sharingan continuously while adding more power into it thus making my the tomoe in my spiral and my eyes to glow a bit.
Realising that just lying there and doing nothing will give me nothing I stood up and went to the centre of the clearing and went into the opening stance of interceptor fist. I went through all the basic katas of the interceptor fist which is basically I style created by the uchiha's by observing and copying many difference taijutsu styles that they came across. The style focuses on clear, flexible and precise movements that the body should make when an attack comes at a specific angel or power or feints. The knowledge that the perk imprinted on my brain was huge as it came to fore front of my mind when I started using the interceptor fist.
As my sharingan was still active while I was performing katas I could actually see by how much my angle was off than it should be, the wrong placement of my feet which if they were too wide can be used by my opponent to sweep me off my feet as it would take too much time and more power to jump above the sweep. How just if my jab was a little low then it would be faster than my opponent to reach and he would deflect it on the other hand if it was a little high then the opponent could duck it and I would be left open for counter attacks. I marvelled at the difference an inch of misplacement of any body part could make and I slowly but surely started correcting myself and started perfecting my form as I went through the katas again and again and again.

I looked at the popup in surprise and looked at the time to realise I have been doing this for two hours and the clock showed 8:12 A.M. realising that I spend too much time training I quickly went back to the orphanage and went down to the dining area when the head-matron was looking at me with a stern look.
"You are late for breakfast Hibiki" said the stern head-matron who according to my memories had taken care of me for when I was a kid and taught me how to read and right.
"I slept a little too much obasan" I replied weakly squirming under the stern glare of the woman.
"Do not make this a habit okay Hibiki-kun" I smiled at the familiarity of her tone and nodded happily as she handed me a plate of breakfast.
"Hai! Obasan" I said as I went to my table as I ate my share of onigiri and got the same 5% boost in health and chakra regeneration.
As we were let go to play in the yard I silently went and sat leaning against the tree to figure out what I am going to do about my quest to sneak into clan compounds as the Uchiha military police is still active and almost every clan has chunin level ninja as guards to protect them. I also realised that I do not know anything about the hyuga-kumo affair so I cannot think about changing it. My eyes widened as realisation hit me that in my power influenced state I forgot to think about naruto and how he must be feeling all alone as he was given an apartment to live into when he was kicked out of the orphanage some weeks before me taking control of my body. I cursed my lack of decorum and sneaked out of the orphanage in search of my brother all the while kicking myself for being a jerk.
As I realised that I do not know where he must be I swallowed as I realised that that this is the only way as I sighed and ducked into an alleyway.
I quickly activated transformation jutsu to turn into a plump middle aged woman as I went into market. As I carefully went around the market avoiding any contact with anyone as I briefly activated my sharingan to scan my surroundings until I find 3 civilian middle aged housewife gossiping. As I carefully went toward them I brushed up on my acting skills as I acknowledged them and I started a conversation.
"Ohayou" I greeted as all the rest greeted me a good morning in return.
I leaned forward as if to share a secret and said "do you know I was walking past the orphanage and as I was chatting with the head matron she told me they kicked out the demon from the orphanage".
The lady with the blue dress said "yeah I know I heard that too some days back that they kicked him out, he actually had to sleep a night outside in an alleyway before next day hokage-sama took him in to some apartment in the shinobi section".
I feel sick as I realised that naruto had to sleep a night outside but actually felt relief that he is safe and is currently in a safe place with probably some anbu guarding and taking care of him.
The lady in the purple dress said " yeah he also has some anbu guarding him and taking care of him, I don't know why hokage-sama wastes….." and she went on and on about what Lord Third was doing wrong as I slipped back into and alleyway and upon realising that no one was looking released the transformation.

Now that the gaming system is done with I looked back to naruto's situation and realised that there is nothing I can do otherwise I would expose myself and hokage-sama will become suspicious of me. I know for a fact that he would be safe and once I had enough sneaking skills I will try to see how he is doing.
Now that I had knowledge of what happened to naruto and the information that he is safe I relaxed and realised I am in konoha marketplace. I decided to go back and practice my taijutsu as my basic needs are fulfilled and the only thing I need to do is grinding my skills so that I can sneak out or actually defend myself before making an escape if anything happened.
-------------------------------TIME SKIP (almost 3 year later) -------------------------------
Almost 3 year have passed since the day I actually found about naruto and the day from which I have started grinding like lee and guy-sensei. I have followed the routine of training each meal and rest of the time spending with other kids and partaking in useless activity while letting my body rest. All about 14 hours of training time was concentrated solely on my physical training as I had quite adequate chakra control, so when I am looking at my stats at the moment I could now help but feel proud of what I had accomplished.
'Stats and skills' I think as all my hard work is displayed in front of me.

I practiced day and night to get those physical stats and when I reached 200 I thought I may as well have surpassed the hokage but after using observe on so many people I came across a random chunin whose stats were,
Level-56
STR = 245
VIT = 221
DEX = 195
INT = 175
WIZ = 160
CHA = 87
LUC = 65
These were the stats of a high chunin which dashed my hopes of superiority but still this much progress was more than enough as due to the help of sharingan my taijutsu is almost perfect and my current stats are enough to let me win on straight up fights with normal chunin's as long as it's only taijutsu. As soon as my DEX reached 100 I absorbed shunshin no jutsu and have been practically abusing it ever since into levelling it up along with observe and sneak skill which has borne fruit.
I woke up as yes I have actually decided to sleep now days because it is more relaxing and meditation is already fully levelled up, and went to the dining room to eat breakfast when I looked into the eyes of the head matron who was smiling at me with a wrapped up gift for me when I realised that today is my birthday as today was 9th October.
"Happy birthday Hibiki-kun" wished matron to me as she handed over the package to me.
I just looked at her as small tears gathered into my eyes as nobody has ever given me a gift except perhaps my mother, she held me close as I composed myself and when she let me go I smiled at her and said "arigatou! Obasan". She just smiled ruffled my hairs a bit and took out another gift from behind her while I wondered 'does she also have an inventory or something' and said "we also found this when you were given to the orphanage but we decided to keep it away from a child as it has a sharp edge but as you are all grown up know" here she ruffled my hairs again which I tell you is very annoying "you should keep it as this probably belonged to either of you parents" and she handed me a second package said "be good" and went on her way. I was stunned for a moment before I rushed back up to my room put the first present in the inventory and opened up the second present.
Inside the box was a simple silver chain necklace and attached to it was a 3 pronged kunai with the kanji of Yondaime hokage written on it. I quickly used observe on it.
SECOND GIFT: This necklace was to be given to Hibiki from his mother on his first birthday; this was bought as a joke between your parents about your father being the fourth hokage. This necklace is a part of a set of gifts that Hibiki's mother had bought to be given to him on successive birthdays. Equip to gain +4luck.
I looked at the necklace in awe before quickly equipping it and feeling a rush of warm feeling inside me. I looked outside as the sun shined over the building in front of my window before me as I smiled and took off the orphanage as today was the day I meet Naruto.
