Yami: The Gamer Kage

Chapter 5 Moving in
Chapter 7 The 4th’s Legacy

Chapter 6 Train Until You Die

Two days later I went back to the library to see Misa, to see if she had any developments in the hunt for a publisher. The moment I walked into the library though I spotted her with an older looking man in a kimono;

Baroma Hachiku, Publisher

Lv- 12

REP- 0

The man was blading but looked like he did a lot of manual labour, maybe running, maybe something else. Misa noticed me immediately and she smiled waving me over.

"Good morning Yami," Misa smiled, "you arrived right on time. This is Baroma, the head publisher of the White Lily publishing house and a close friend," she turned to Baroma, "this is the little genius I was telling you about."

The man looked at me and immediately had an eyebrow, raised, "this is the boy who wrote the best book you have ever read?"

I raised an eyebrow, "did she not mention my age?"

Baroma grunted, "learn to speak with respect boy."

"Learn to spot talent old man."

Baroma's eyes went wide, "what?! You disrespectful brat! I have been working as a publisher for over twenty years I can spot talent a mile away!"

I shrugged, "then why didn't you see me?"

He snorted, "you have the arrogance of a writer down pat brat, I'll give you that. Let's see this book Misa keeps going on about," he said snapping his fingers at me.

I grumbled, I hate dealing with annoying people. I turned around, facing away from them and opened my inventory taking out the book in question. I turned around and gave him the book, the man taking it with a raised eyebrow at my odd behaviour.

He looked over the first page, his eyes going through each lines in seconds. Damn, I wish I could read that fast, hm, I wonder if I can get a skill for speed reading

He finished the first page in moment going into the second on, flipping through ten pages in the span of five minutes. And then he stopped shutting the book and closing his eyes in contemplation. I won't lie, I was a little nervous as to what he would say.

He looked at me, opening his piercing black eyes, "it's decent."

I smirked, "I know."

Misa groaned, "one good book and he already thinks he's the king of the world."

Baroma smirked before turning to me, "I'll read the rest of the book and tell you my response. If I like what I read then we'll take. Where do you live?"

"I live in the Ubru district in Red Leaves apartments. I'll be in room 18, just ask the manager where Naruto Uzumaki lives, he'll be able to guide you."

The publisher's eyes went wide, "you live with tha d-boy?" he quickly changed his tone the moment Misa's shape jonin eyes landed on the man.

I rolled my eyes, "yes, I live with Naruto. He's my friend and so far has been kind enough to let me share his home. So please, if you do wish to work with me, be aware he will be around me. Also I would watch my tongue if I were you, call him a demon once and you might have to refer to the Third's Anbu force," I finish with a wink.

Both adult's eyes went wide. "Y-Yami! How do you know about the Third's law?!" Misa asked in a hurried whisper.

I rolled my eyes, "oh please, I'm training to be a ninja Misa, I know when people are keeping secrets from me. Plus, I'm not an idiot. I figured out why people hate him ten minutes after hanging out with the kid. It's pretty obvious, you morons really think kids are that dumb? Please."

Ping!

Lie successful!

Ping!

Your skill has leveled up!

Lying, Lv- 2 (30%)

You ability to lie to people without getting caught.

7% chance of success

-20% if the lie is too unbelievable

Hm, cool.

Misa gulped, "well that certainly is...reveling."

I shrugged, "whatever," I turned to Bamora, "I'll see you later then old man!"

"Don't call me old brat!" the guy yelled, but by then I was already out of the library.

The school days for me were...kind of boring to be honest. For the last few days I payed attention when possible to lectures and the teachers, but it was just so...slow!

God I could learn all this in my sleep! Which I did! I learnt the entire history syllabus by myself using the history books I bought from the library! Hell, I had even gone a few steps further!

So like Shikamaru, I took to sleeping in class to pass the time, unable to the sheer boredom. I did pay attention in the odd class, like Iruka's lectures on ninja etiquette and Mizuki's lectures, which should eventually earn me a point in INT, though it hasn't done so yet.

But after school Naruto I spent time together. Today we spent it sparing together in the academy training yard. From the beginning of the school year nearly two months ago the training yard had slowly become more and more crowded. We however didn't have a choice, confined to one small corner so as to not attract too much attention.

Luckily thought most of the crowd left by 4, since their parents demanded it. Naruto and I could stay there much longer. Today we finished the training at 5 and we our separate ways. Naruto wanted to prank a store owner that had refused to let us buy groceries for breakfast the other day.

I told him I wasn't really feeling it and told him to go nuts, promising to meet him home. Plus...there was no quest alert, seemed like a pointless waste of time. So I let Naruto do his own thing while I decided to continue my hunt for the 30 legendary spots in Konoha where I might find a golden leaf!

There was one place I had yet to try which I knew would have a golden leaf for sure, the memorial stone! Kakashi was obsessed with it, plus it was important to the entire village, there has to be one there!

So finding directions to the stone I walked over, keeping track of where I was going. And soon I found a pathway that lead directly to the stone, walking into the edge of training yard seven, so technically I wasn't breaking my promise to those two ninjas who gave me my very first weapon.

I found the stone quickly, tall black thing that shined in the day's light. But oddly enough, I wasn't the only one there. A ninja wearing a dark green flannel jacket with a face mask covering his lower face and had silver hair that stood up defying gravity. His headband was pulled down over his left eye and his right one looked sad as his fingers traced a name on the stone.

Kakashi Hatake, Copy ninja

Lv- ?

REP- 0

"You know, it's rude to stare," the man called out, not bothering to look up.

I gulped, damn, a living legend right before my eyes. I blinked, "s-sorry."

The man looked up and his eye softened, almost looking like a smile, "it's fine. I was just done away." And then he suddenly disappeared in a whirl of leaves leaving me alone. Damn, I Really go to learn that jutsu!

I sighed and approached the stone. I looked down and saw the names, so many damn names. All dead….and for what? Because some moron thought they were big shit. And don't even get me started on the fact that Obito Uchiha's name is on this thing, damn bastard's still alive!

I sighed, 'okay, not the time. Focus! Find the golden leaf!' I then began to look around. It took me an hour of active searching before I finally found it nestled under a rock a few feet away from the stone;

Ping!

Congratulations! You have found a legendary spot: Memorial stone!

Locations found in Konoha: 4/30

Select your reward!

+800 EXP

+5 stat points

Random armour drop

Random dead ninja's speciality jutsu

Okay, I'm starting to see a pattern here. Exp, points, something that involves luck and a fourth option of sure fire chance that might be useful. However in this case I ended up with two random drops, which could be anything. Damn it.

Thinking logically I should just take the stat points to be safe, but, I really really really wanted to take a chance now that I can actually use some chakra. My luck it right now 12, not bad but not good.

So which do I pick? Experience points is out, it's far too little. The stat points are important, but so predictable, I want to live a little! The armour drop is important, but no, the one I was going to pick, and I know this for a fact, is the speciality jutsu!

Because, if I'm understanding this right, this would include the previous Hokages' speciality as well. Meaning if I'm lucky, I can get the Lighting god step from Minato! Or maybe a random earth jutsus from some fallen cunt.

Damn it! I don't care! Justus here I come!

Ping!

You have obtained the jutsu: Spiral flame techniques!

The golden leaf let out a poof of smoke as a scroll appeared in my hands. I didn't recognize the jutsu, but since most ninjas in the village do have a fire I'm assuming whoever I got this from was just some grunt.

I looked around, I didn't want to risk someone seeing this, so I opened my inventory and put the scroll inside to be opened later. Hopefully the jutsu would be worth the wait!

I walked away, not intent on finding more golden leaves. I racked my brain and only came up with a few options. One, the hokage tower, but it's too high profile, I need to improve my stealth before I approach that. Two, the hokage mountain, but it was too damn big! Sigh. And three, the orphanage I stayed at.

Honestly, I don't know why I didn't bother looking there before! It's obvious, since Naruto lived there, there must be a golden leaf there as well! I had to try.

It was getting dark soon, but I didn't care. I knew around this time everyone would be at lunch and I had twenty good minutes to look around.

First thing's first, I looked around the walls, quickly running around, observing them from the inside and out. And then I went inside, sneaking past people as I looked into rooms and even the showers.

I wanted to continue, but the kids were quickly returning! I cursed and ran to the exit, only to see the watch man and returned, and this man was new, I didn't know his watch patterns!

So with no other choice I ran around, intent to use the monkey bars in the playground out back as a way over the walls.

I reached thee quickly enough, and since no one was yelling at me I'm assuming nobody saw me as well. I grabbed onto the bars to pull myself up, when suddenly;

Ping!

Congratulations! You have found a legendary spot: Konoha orphanage!

Locations found in Konoha: 5/30

Select your reward!

+100 EXP

+3 stat points

Random item drop

+5 kunai pouch

I blinked, 'seriously?' I removed my hand and looked around finding a golden leaf embedded on the other side of the bar. Honestly, why did I never think of this before? Maybe because I never actually came to the playground before. Damn.

Okay, down to business. Hm, okay, EXp was shit, I'm guessing I was supposed to have found this a long time ago, maybe even when I first came here. Okay, so no exp, no points, that left the random drop and the +5 kunai pouch.

If I was weaker, that is before I went into my first dungeon, then I would need the kunai. But now I can just buy all the kunais I want. So that just left the random item drop. Yipee!

Ping!

You have obtained: 5,000R!

Okay, not something mind blowing, but hey, I can use this money to buy myself some kunai so that's nice.

I took the money and put it away before climbing onto the monkey bars and leaning over the wall, landing on the other side and running to Naruto's place.

It took me awhile to get there, but I did reach before it was too late. I opened the door and called out, "yo! I'm home!"

"Yami! About time you bastard! We've been waiting for you!" Naruto called out from inside.

"We?" I asked curiously as I walked in to find Naruto sitting with Baroma, the old publisher man, "Oh," I said with a smile, "hey old man. Did you finish reading it?"

The man stood up, "yes, I did," he took out the book and handed it over to me.

"Yami! You bastard! Why didn't you tell me you were writing your own book!" Naruto cried out.

I shrugged, "I wanted to see if people would actually like it. Plus it's not like you're an avid reader," I took the book back and looked at him raising an eyebrow, "and? What did you think?"

The man narrowed his eyes, "I think you have a very childish and idealistic way of thinking."

Naruto blinked, "what's idealistic?"

"Just another word people use for when you have a dream which other people think is impossible," I told him looking at the man.

"A hero that doesn't kill?" the man snorted, "you do know the world we live in yes? You yourself are training to be a ninja."

I nodded, "yeah...but life still has value. And like you said, in this world of ninjas, eventually people will forget that value. That's why they need stories like this. Sure, the hero is unrealistic, but he exactly the kind of hero people need to look up to. To know that justice needn't come from...killing."

The man sighed, "you're young, you don't understand the world yet. But...that doesn't change the fact that it's a good book." I grinned as he continued, "I'm very much interested in publishing this book, and any other sequels you have in mind….you do have something in mind yes? You can't just leave this as it is."

I nodded, "I do have an idea. But...it's kind of unique."

The man sighed, "fine, whatever," he walked away to the door, "I'll bring the official contract over tomorrow night. Be ready to sign it."

"I'm going to have to read it first."

The man nodded, "as you wish. Good night Yami," he looked over my shoulder at Naruto, his eyes softening, "Naruto."

The door shut behind him and I turned to Naruto, "what did you say to him?"

Naruto blinked, "what do you mean?"

"In the morning he hated your guts, but now, he kind of seems….nice?"

Naruto shrugged, "I don't know what you mean. He came by an hour ago, we just sat here and waited for you."

I groaned, this brat. If I was to guess he probably has a +20 REP bonus to everyone he talks too for more than ten minutes. No wonder he turns enemies into allies like it was nothing.

We had dinner, which I cooked;

Ping!

Your skill has leveled up!

Cooking, Lv- 3 (3%)

You can cook and make something to eat. It may not be edible.

Bonus- 6% to all food items you make

Not bad, maybe I can actually use this for something. Anyway, after that Naruto went to bed, I waited until I heard him snore before climbing out of bed and sat on the table, which Naruto told me I could use for whatever I want. I hadn't really set it up for anything, but...I thinking somewhere along the mad genius range.

First thing's first. I took out the skill scroll and opened it up;

Ping!

You have obtained a skill scroll!

Would you like to learn it?

Y/N?

I quickly selected yes and watched as the scroll disappeared giving me the knowledge of the jutsu;

Spiral Flame jutsu, B rank

The user takes in a giant gulp of air before spewing it out as a spiraling cloak of flames that lunges forward.

CP cost- 150 CP (Additional CP can be added)

DMG- 600 (+25 DMG for ever 50 CP)

Okay...so basically I can never use this jutsu. Well, at least I level up some more. Damnit! I so wanted to use this fucking thing! Sigh, such is life.

Still I have to say, it does some amazing damage. Totally worth the CP. This makes it two fire affinity jutsu I have, hm, I wonder, do I have a fire efinity? Would make sense...hm, maybe I should buy some chakra paper tomorrow.

So with that in mind I took out my notebook and writing set. I walked out of the apartment and approached a nearby tree plucking a few leaves. I sat down, activated the leaf concentration exercise while I began to work on my kanji. I really needed to get this shit down!

The next day:

The next day after school Naruto and I played for a while, though I really wasn't into it. Afterwards we went our separate ways. Naruto for some ramen while I decided to find a store that would sell me ninja tools.

I walked into the merchant district and looked for the fanciest ninja wears shop I could find. It took me a moment, but I found a shop called 'Steel Blood' at the end of merchant road.

I stepped inside and found rows and rows of ninja weapons and other tools behind a counter near the back. And before it was racks of clothes, minaj grade I'm guessing from the mesh underneath. I'm guessing the weapons you'll have to order from behind the counter while the clothes you could try on.

"Oye kid," I looked over finding a thin man with long blonde hair and a short french beard behind the counter looking at me with a raised eyebrow, "can I help you?"

Hikaru Chomeru, Steelblood owner

Lv- ?

REP- 0

Okay, chunin or high jonin, nice. I walked over to the man, looking over the clothes, none of them seemed to be my size, the smallest would still be a few sizes too big, damn it I really need to grow up!

I stopped before the man, "ah, I would like some kunai, shuriken, ninja wire and...oh, some fuinjutsu scrolls please."

The man blinked, "you in the academy kid?"

I nodded, "yes."

"Which year?"

I knew this was a trick question. Technically all the items I asked for should only be used by a second year student as that was when they even began weapons training. So…

"I'm in the second year," I told him.

"Oh really?" the man raised an eyebrow, "then you wouldn't mind showing me the leaf concentration exercise."

I blinked, 'really? That's all I have to do?' Oh well, won't look a gift horse in the mouth. I took out a leaf I had on hand from last night and placed it on my forehead focusing chakra there as I looked at him, "this enough proof?"

The man narrowed his eyes at me and looked at the leaf, he waited 30 seconds, guess he expected me to drop it or something. Finally at the one minute mark he nodded, "right, how many of those did you want?"

"Around 20 kunai, 15 shurikens, ah, twenty feet of ninja wire and around...ten scrolls?"

The man said nothing, working effectively and gave me all the requested items. The kunai were in a small pouch that looked to be of a cheap quality. The shuriken pouch was a bit bigger and would fit on my hip. The wire and scrolls were given to me in a bag.

"Your total is 1,000 Ryo."

I smiled, yup, money was way more important than kunai. Because it would probably get you even more kunai.

I gave the man the correct amount and walked out of the store with the shuriken and kunai all in the same cover. I walked into an alley and quickly put the entire bag in my inventory.

I stopped my the library on my home that night to tell Me that I was going to be published, she was so excited for me and warned me to make sure the fame and money didn't go to my head. Which I'm sure it won't. Kind off.

I went home that night and did the usual, cook and clean up. I waited till Naruto fell asleep and this time instead of just working on my kanji, I used my chakra threads to handle to open, thereby improving on that skill in particular.

By morning it had leveled up once;

Chakara thread, Lv- 6 (30%)

A concentrated thread of chakra that can be attached to manipulate certain objects.

CP cost- 5 CP per minute per 1 feet

Max length- 16 feet

I didn't really do anything else the next day, just played with Naruto, since the boy was starting to feel left out. I wanted to show him he cool new tools I got, but I figured he would start asking questions I couldn't answer so I decided to abstain from that action.

That night Baroma came around and we looked over his contract for me. It was pretty simple, he would publish everything I wrote, if he deemed it good enough. His company would take care of advertising and distribution, but in return I would have to depart with 35% of the money I made from the books, which doesn't include the price of printing which if the books didn't sell I would have leveled against me.

The last part was a dick move and I told him so. He and I argued about that point for a while before he agreed to remove that clause entirely after I threatened to look for someone else to publish my work. Guess he really wanted the book.

We had to agree on a few other points, like the fact that he wanted me to work as a ghost author for some other asshole who was down on his luck but whose name was still held up in high regard.

Obviously I refused. The offer was tempting sure, if I became a ghost writer I would face no risk and a lot of money, but I didn't want that. I wanted my name on the cover of the book. I demanded it. And begrudgingly the man agreed to my demands.

In the end I did sign it, and he went home a happy man with the master copy of my book. I would have my name on the front cover, dark black letters on the cover with the hand drawn bat symbol I had illustrated as the cover.

It would take two months to print the copies apparently, but I was happy, that meant I had a steady stream of money I could now use, which can also serve as an excuse for anyone who wonders why an orphan has so much cash! It's a triple win mother fuckers!

I treated Naruto to ramen that night to celebrate, kid was so happy I was making some money, he claimed I could buy us any toy we wanted, which was true, heh.

That night Naruto was in a food coma and I decided it was time I went dungeon training again.

I snuck out and went into the park, stopping before the blue glowing leaf symbol. I took out my weapons first, I strapped the shuriken pouch on my pant belt while the kunais went around my right thigh. I also put on the forearm bands I had obtained and even took a few of those fang daggers and hide them around my person, just in case.

I then touched the blue leaf symbol and immediately a menu came up;

Ping

You have discovered a natural dungeon! Would you like to go inside?

Y/N

Dungeon, Lv- 1

Dungeon, Lv- 2

Hm, two options okay, first dungeon has Rattatas and Meowth's which the rare Growlithe spawn. The second dungeon was a mystery but it could hold more loot items and EXP. But...I need to get used to fighting pokemons, plus maybe I can tran Growlithe as well!

Right, my mind made up I selected the first level dungeon and immediately found myself in the forest once more. I looked around and nodded, "pokemon menu!"

The menu opened up before me showing my only pokemon, Flamer. I selected it and immediately a pokeball appeared in my hand. I grinned and threw the ball, "go Flamer!"

A white light came out as the puppy pokemon appeared before me. I smiled as it yipped looking around before spotting me and rushing to my side. It barked cutely and wagged it's tail, I smile as I bent down and scratched it behind the ear, pleasing the dog.

It's funny, last time it saw me I was stabbing it in the back with daggers, guess it really did forget once it entered the pokeball.

"Alright Flamer, you ready for some training?" I asked.

"Growl!" it cried out.

Just then the bushes began to rustle as a Rattata came out, potting Growlithe and immediately began charging.

'It's on!' I realised as I jumped back, "Growlithe! Doge and use tackle!"

The pokemon obeyed as it jumped away from the Rattata before tackling it into the ground. I reached around into my shuriken pouch and flung it at the pokemon causing the metal star to cut into it's side, though I was aiming for it's head, damn it! Guess shurikens don't work the same way as kunai.

-4 HP!

And only four DMG, damn that's bad. I looked at the Rattata;

HP- 36/50

"Famer! Ember!" I cried out.

"Growlithe!" the pokemon cried out sending out a small fire blast that light the rat's tail on fire;

HP- 16/50

'Nice,' I reached into my kunai holster and took one out throwing it at the rat. This time the weapons flew true and hit it right in the head;

Ping!

You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!

-25 HP!

HP- 0/50

The pokemon died on the spot. I smiled, "good job Flamer!" The pokemon growled happily. I opened his status and looked at his EXp seeing if he gained anything;

Flamer EXP: 5/1000

Hm, so he got half the EXP from the Rattata, that means I got half, since I assisted. Hm, so maybe I shouldn't do that anymore until he can properly level up.

"Alright Flamer, for the next one I want you to handle it on your own okay?" I told the dog pokemon as I picked up my ninja tools and the loot, one pelt and one fang.

"Growlithe!" he cried out nodding.

"Right," I quickly climbed a tree, grumbling as I had to bend in odd angle to reach the branches. I so need to learn the tree walking exercise. I sat there and waited, Flamer looking at me funny, I sighed and shooed him away, the pokemon confused but obeying my order.

I looked at my map and found around…..fifty enemies there, with no giant red dot which would indicate a boss. Meaning we had to defeat enough opponents before we could move on. I watched as two dots came towards us, "get ready!"

Flamer waited as suddenly two more Rattatas came running out, charging at him. He growled and waited, I called out, "doge, tackle and ember!"

"Growl!" it cried out as it did just that managing to burn on Rattata while the other escaped. That thing tried to charge my pokemon from the back, but one kunai from me that cut into it's head stopped it right in it's tracks.

Ping!

You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!

Thanks to stealth, your critical strike is doubled!

- 55 HP!

I watched as Flamer slowly beat down the Rattata until it's HP came down to zero. And then only loot remained. I smiled from my hidden positions, yeah, this was going to be fun!

Flamer and I went around the forest, the pokemon behaving marvelously in battle. I had him take on every pokemon in the forest and if they tried to double team him I would be there to help make sure he survived.

My kunai and stealth skills did improve;

Kunai techniques, Lv- 8 (39%)

Your ability to handle a kunai accurately.

Aquaracy- 46%

Bonus- 5% to DMG

Stealth, Lv- 8 (2%)

Your ability to hide in plain sight is crucial for being a ninja.

Chances of not getting spotted- 20%

For stronger opponents, -2% for each level they surpass you

And I finally got a skill for handling shurikens;

Shuriken techniques, Lv- 2 (90%)

Your ability to handle a kunai accurately.

Aquaracy- 25%

Bonus- 1% to DMG

Obviously I was better at handling kunais. I kept to the shadows most of time and let Growlithe fight the battles. He was really good with the Moths, which made sense since he was a dog and they were cats.

In the end of the long grinding session I ended up with 21 Rattata fangs along with 45 pelts, 6 of which I used to make fang daggers. Meaning I now had 20 fang daggers.

And with so much free time I now had used to simply observe Flamer, I could now spend it actually looking around the forest, paying attention for any random loot items. And my lack of focus payed off.

Hidden in the trunk of a tree was a blue spray bottle, I immediately recognized it;

Potion,

Spray on injury to cure it. Regenerates 200 HP. Single use.

YES! I got a pokemon loot item! Oh I can't wait to find a rare candy! I can use it to automatically level up! But...if I took so long to find a simple potion, I can only imagine how much time a rare candy would take to find.

I also gained 7 gold coins from each Meowth and happened upon another fake tattoo, this one again I put away for storage.

And of course came the EXP points. Out of the fifty opponents we faced, 32 were Rattata and the rest 18 were Meowth's. I helped with most of the Rattata, since they were at the moment too fast for Flamer. But the Mouths the guy could handle himself, with a few exceptions.

Growlithe ended up with 745 EXP points while I got 475 EXP. Not a bad haul for the day.

Flamer- EXP: 760/1000

Ping!

You have leveled up!

Yami, Little Professor

Level- 5 (70/1,800)

HP- 250/250 (+20)

SP- 125/125

CP- 200/200

CONTROL- 36%

Allegiance- Konoha Civilian

STR- 2

VIT- 9

DEX- 5

INT- 11 (+2)

CHA- 16

CC- 21

LUC- 7 (+5)

Points- 5

Money- 385,000R

Sweet! I barely did any work, Growlithe got in a lot of training and I still leveled up! Fucking awesome!

With all the small time pokemon taken care off Flamer and I now turned to the boss of this level, which was another Growlithe, this one with the same base stats of my own, so lamer couldn't do this alone.

We waited and I used the same methods to draw it out, and casted a genjutsu on it. The pokemon began to act like a mad man, growling and scratching the air, Flamer recognized this tactic and knew to wait until the thing was knocked out.

The moment that happened Flamer made to move, but I stopped him. It looked at me confused, I smiled, "I totally want to try something here."

The Pokemon watched as I opened my jutsu list and pulled up the Great Fireball jutsu. It costed 50 CP to do, and with my new 36% control rate, I can use now 72 CP in one go! Meaning after using the genjutsu, I can also do this;

My hands were a blur as they went through the hand sings, my body moved on istics as it sucked in a big gulp of air and swallowed it holding it tight as I felt chakra from my gut enter my lungs and mix properly.

'Great Fireball jutsu!' I thought as I pushed all the air outside, the moment it left my lips it was ignited, turning bright red as a large fireball came flying out startling Flamer.

The Fireball hit the unconscious Growlithe bathing it in flames;

Ping!

Due to fire nature of enemy, effectiveness of fire jutsu has been reduced by half!

Ping!

You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!

Thanks to stealth, your critical strike is doubled!

-1,000 HP!

I grinned, even if the jutsus had been reduced to half its total damage power, my stealth and critical bonus more than made up for it.

I smiled as the flames slowly died out revealing the scorched ground where the pokemon once was, nothing left behind, except three loot items.

5,000 R

Fire proof pelt, C class item

A pelt that can withstand extreme temperature.

-50% DMG from all fire based attack.

Pokeball

"Growlithe," Flamer said in awe as he looked at me. I smirked at him and I saw his REP score go from 0 to 10. Guess he respects me a little now.

I ruffled his head and we walked out of the clearing. I quickly took the money and pokeball, now I could catch another pokemon, hm, maybe next time I should catch another Growlithe, make a little pack.

The fire proof pelt was very important, if I can somehow make leather armor using this and the rare cut fur pelt, I would have a pretty sweet set of armour.

Ping!

Quest alert!

Create armour using the fireproof pelt and rare cat pelt!

Rewards:

New armour

?

Failure:

Unable to fully use the pelts abilities.

Do you accept?

Y/N?

I of course pressed yes. I put away the pelt and looked around, the message that we cleared the forest came up again and once again I found myself back in the park. I looked around, everything was the same, no time had passed.

"Growl!" Flamer cried out next to me, looking around in surprise. He snarled his teeth, unsure where he was.

"Sorry about that boy," I said opening up my pokemon menu and selecting his pokeball, "I totally forgot about you," well at least I know he can exists in the real world as well.
