them is logical. To everybody else, it’s the biggest piece of

be lived with, kinda like an H.O.A.
The Entertainment of Others, Part Two
By: (Driver) Jim Ohki
Naruto’s Apartment; August 25, 12 AK; 2100
“What the hell happened?†he groaned as he fell out of his bed,
which was his last save point. He had wanted to go into the
mission with the scroll fully rested and as such took a nap.
Things had gone swimmingly until reaching that clearing in
Ground Fifteen. All of a sudden the world went dark after a
rather sharp pain to the back of his head.
GAME OVER! SO SORRY!
“Not going to clue me in, huh?†Naruto growled at the
notification, sitting up carefully. Now this was annoying as it
proved that he would in fact respawn at his last save.
Better than starting over from scratch, at any rate.
Checking his Character Entry revealed that failure gave him
nothing, which was both good and bad. Good, in the sense that
he didn’t lose anything he had saved beforehand. Bad in that
the few gains he had made during the mission were lost and he
had to start from the beginning.
‘Letâ€&tra de;s see here,’ he started thinking he way through the mess,
as he had a little time to kill. ‘I got the scroll and past
Jiji quite easily, so I’ll just do the same thing again.
Getting to the training ground was no issue either, so what the
. . . Mizuki was waiting for me! Yes, that’s the only thing it
could be as I had embarrassed him earlier in the day. Damn it,
I have to keep my situational awareness going at all times now.
I changed too much . . .’.
Nothing beat a learning experience that involved death after
all. It was amazing to those that could –even if faintly-
remember the way the blond used to be: charging in headfirst
with nary a thought. This spawning thing he could begin to
like, as at least he was aware of it this time.
Getting used to it was pointless, having been stuck in a Time
Loop and thus already familiar with the restarting.
‘Right, here we go!’ he leapt into action at ten on the dot,
making his way over to the Hokage Tower. There was a strange
lack of Shinobi on patrol, even for this time of night. Naruto
narrowed his eyes, having missed this detail the first time
around. Up on the rooftops he should have at least seen the
occasional blur from the ANBU moving about.
Nope, nothing. The game was afoot tonight. Time for a
different tactic.
“Naruto, what are you doing?†the Sandaime looked surprised to
find the blond waiting for him in his office, Forbidden Scroll
propped up against the side of his desk. All he had wanted to
do was retrieve his pipe before calling it a night.
“You have a traitor in your ranks,†was the response, one that
the Hokage was not prepared for. “Mizuki is trying to use me in
a heist involving this,†he patted the large scroll. “He’s
watched me from the Graduation Exam until twenty minutes ago,
preventing me from coming to you to warn you and do some
planning. Something else I noticed is that the village garrison
is nowhere to be found right now.â€
“This is more than a traitor looking for a prize,†Hiruzen
understood the implications. “We have a full-blown inside job
going down tonight. Very well, make it convincing.â€
Naruto was briefly surprised that he was being given carte
blanche to ‘escape’ with the scroll. There was no indication of
a jutsu being used as he went into action. One moment he was
standing, the next he was laying on the Hokage’s desk in his
female guise that was wearing a sexy devil outfit. She had
larger breasts than normal, threatening to spill out of the
bikini top. Her legs were curled up on the desk, making her
hind-end seem even bigger.
“Jiji, won’t you light my fire?†she moaned, rolling her hips a
couple times to draw his eyes to the junction between her legs
and the stretched shorts over her round rear.
Sarutobi was defeated soundly by the Advanced Oroike. He had
propelled himself down the hallway from the force of his
nosebleed, before impacting a wall knocking him out.

“Ahhh, it worked on Jiraiya so I shouldn’t have expected less.
At least I’m not having to listen to screams for a ‘T-back’,â€
Naruto deadpanned at the crumpled form of his pseudo-
grandfather. He made quick on his escape, this time heading to
a different training ground while creating a clone with a fake
scroll.
You have obtained the index [FORBIDDEN SCROLL]. Do you wish to
learn new skills?
“Fucking-A I do,†how he managed to keep his voice down, at the
same time hearing a roar of rage from Ground Fifteen, he would
never know. All that mattered here was that he was on the clock
and didn’t have much time.
Naruto rolled the scroll on the ground to open it . . . and the
world went berserk. While he was used to random things
happening, usually by his own directive, what he was watching
was something entirely new.
A cow appeared from nowhere, walking forward while moving
backward upside down in midair. A western-style house fell from
the sky only to pass into the ground like it was intangible.
Off to the side, a Chibi-Yondaime was making hip thrusts at a
Chibi-Kyuubi with a speech-bubble hanging over his head reading
‘Who’s your daddy?!’. Shikamaru Nara ran full tilt through the
clearing, as if the hounds of hell . . . or the Nara females . .
. were after him. Noise off to his left earned his attention, a
clone of Kurenai Yuhi suddenly appearing . . . completely naked
with an erect male member right above the junction of her legs.
“What the fuck is going on here?†Naruto whimpered as the clone-
thing poofed away, highly disturbed by seeing the Hermaphrodite-
Kurenai. Instead of an answer the world just kept doing bizarre
things.
Iruka appeared from the brush off to the right, Mizuki dry-
humping his leg like a dog in heat. Orochimaru pirouetted
through the clearing in a pink tutu singing ‘I’m a Little
Teapot’. Kabuto Yakushi somehow pulled off a moonwalk at full
sprint, looking ridiculous as he passed through the tree line
without disturbing a leaf.
Chouji Akamichi, having appeared at random, opened his mouth for
a potato chip and farted, before making a face while pushing a
belch out his other end.
The world went black and white with what sounded like a
recording being played back at ten times speed, garbling
everything. Scenes that made no sense to Naruto played around
him, confusing him even further before everything went black.
GAME HAS CRASHED. PLEASE WAIT FOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
“Fuck, I ’m gonna be here like . . . forever!†he bellowed,
completely terrified at having to wait in a dark place for who
knew how long. Damn it all, if he had to start from day one he
was simply going to release his tenant and crush Konoha.
PATCH INSTALLED; REBOOTING...
Thank the Holy Log! Naruto had lost track of time quickly,
having nothing to help him. Having no sense of the outside
world sucked, leaving him with the ultimate in sensory
deprivation. He's had no sounds, sights, smells, tastes or
touches to occupy his time with, other than masturbating which
his body just refused to cooperate with.
Some times his life sucked.
"Whoa!" the black void was replaced by the clearing he had been
in, only he was a few kilometers in the air. "Hey, I can see my
house from here." Then the ground rushed up to meet him, except
the landing didn't hurt in the least. A pop-up distracted him
from understanding just what had happened.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. ERROR IN MISSION TWO: [FORBIDDEN
SCROLL] PATCHED DUE TO CONFLICT BETWEEN INDEX AND LOCKED SKILLS
OF MPC. RESTARTING FROM LAST KNOWN 'GOOD' POINT.
"Well, that explains that," he groused, looking at the massive
scroll that was propped up against a tree. He was leery about
opening it again, even if whomever was messing with him was
certain they had fixed the problem.
With more trepidation, he accepted learning from the index and
unrolled the scroll. When nothing bizarre happened he let the
breath he was holding out before looking at what was available.
Score!
Pop-up windows and their accompanying sound-effect went off for
a solid minute as much of what he had pieced together with the
help of the others in the Time Loops was now available to him.
"No wonder the Edo Tensei wasn't working quite right," he
mumbled, having originally learned Orochimaru's way of doing it
versus how Tobirama Senju had. The Nidaime Hokage had a couple
more components involved with raising the dead in a more
animated version than the puppets the Snake Sennin brought
forth.
NEW SKILL AVAILABLE! Is it a bird? A zeppelin? Nope, it's a wall
of metal! Learned from the [FORBIDDEN SCROLL], Kunai Kage
Bunshin. Why waste weapons trying to hit a target when you can
clone as many as you need? [1/1000 Level One] [HINT: This
technique works on everything, not just sharp pointy objects]
"Perfect," Naruto couldn't help the sinister grin at that
information. That was especially helpful for sparring and/or
facing off against allies in the Chuunin Exams. Oh he couldn't
wait to put this to use. Speaking of, it was nearing midnight
and Mizuki had run off somewhere. Time to get this over with.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Iruka bellowed as he leapt
out of the brush, having found his wayward student at last.
*DING*

Okay, that was new. That clued the blond in to the fact that
Sarutobi was watching with his crystal ball and had some ANBU
milling about. While knowing he had extra reinforcements was
nice, he was not only confident in his skills he had the others
hiding in the bushes. He hadn't even paid any attention to the
traitorous Chuunin running his mouth about the Kyuubi, which was
just fine with him as a notification about everything related to
the Bijuu being available made him smile.
"I'm taking you down!" Naruto roared, flinging a small rock at
the former Sensei. The man had scoffed until a cry of Iwa Kage
Bunshin multiplied it from one into a thousand. He grinned at
seeing the man pelted by a quarry's worth of stone, doing
extreme damage.

This was like finding the mother-lode! Naruto stayed casual
with his current company but was vibrating from just how much
cash he had made. The experience towards the next level was
also nice, but he was more focused on the money.
To think, it only took dying a couple times to figure out how to
finish the damned mission.
One returned scroll to the Hokage and a report later the blond
raced towards his apartment as the old Uchiha District was
undergoing his style of renovations. Since Save Points made it
so that there was no need to do it every time he spawned he felt
he could take his time and do it right. Now though he had other
concerns.

Here he did something different, skipping over his maxed out
techniques. He was surprised to find that he had missed the
[NEXT PAGE] in the translucent window, leaving what he had
recovered untouched. There were a lot on the list that he had
either recreated through his sheer willpower or had been
unlocked yet he couldn't remember learning them. It was even
worse that some of the jutsu were from some of the other girls .
. . that he had completely spaced on. Getting stuck in a Loop
again -no matter the format- had apparently blocked his memories
beyond the Chuunin Exams.
He just didn't want to admit he forgot.
You have [40120] Attribute Points and [340] Skill Points
available!
"Kami this interface is annoying," Naruto groused as he finally
found the end of his sheet. He was rather unhappy that the
capped skills were at the beginning as it would save him some
time in getting to those that need work if they were out of the
way. Balancing his state of mind out was the sheer number of
things that he had learned -along with what he had forgotten- in
the Time-Loop and afterwards. Oh well, at least they were in
alphabetical order so it wasn't too much of a hassle.
Good grief did he have some training to do though! All right,
time to do some math and figure out his attribute distribution.
As his mind went blank, a mental note was made that while he had
some sword skills he was missing the Kenjutsu Attribute, which
caused him to scratch his head in wonder.

Well, now that is a sign of progress! Any foul mood Naruto
might have been feeling was washed away by the rather massive
boost he got. Finally his Genjutsu was up to snuff with
everything else, even if it did take a massive chunk of points
to do so. He also opted to bank a sizeable chunk for the
Kenjutsu Attribute when it appeared to stay with his balanced
theme. Now came the hard part, going through his Skills to
chose which ones to dump the paltry amount of points into. Ugh,
this was going to take a while.
You have [7260] Attribute Points and [0] Skill Points available!
Joy to the world . . .
Hokage's Office; Next Morning; 0800
"We have ourselves a bit of a quandary," the Hokage eyed the
Jounin cramped into his office, "in that for once we have a
class full of graduates that have quite a few within each other
in terms of skill, intelligence and everything else that makes a
Shinobi. The usual tier method -two strong offset by a lesser
with potential- is not going to work here without severely
unbalancing the Teams."
"Give me Naruto, Hinata and Ino," Tsunade stood proud with her
arms crossed, daring anybody to challenge her. While her title,
bestowed upon her by a foreign power, had been honored her
official rank just happened to be Elite Jounin.
Her years of service, even with her sojourn into a bottle,
trumped the rest of the Jounin in the room by a mile. Thanks in
part to the resets of old and being stuck in yet another, she
had decided to get back into top form. What really motivated
her had been watching Naruto take a Fuuma Shuriken to the skull
a couple times before figuring out how to handle Mizuki.
No way where they going to tell the blond that they had to wait
for sleep to claim them before a 'reset' occurred. That had
been terrible by itself.
"What?" Asuma Sarutobi coughed, having inhaled his cigarette.
Fortunately for him he had yet to light it otherwise he would be
having a bad case of heartburn. He failed to notice that
Kurenai had a small, knowing smile adorning her face yet said
nothing to help him.

This was like finding the mother-lode! Naruto stayed casual
with his current company but was vibrating from just how much
cash he had made. The experience towards the next level was
also nice, but he was more focused on the money.
To think, it only took dying a couple times to figure out how to
finish the damned mission.
One returned scroll to the Hokage and a report later the blond
raced towards his apartment as the old Uchiha District was
undergoing his style of renovations. Since Save Points made it
so that there was no need to do it every time he spawned he felt
he could take his time and do it right. Now though he had other
concerns.

Here he did something different, skipping over his maxed out
techniques. He was surprised to find that he had missed the
[NEXT PAGE] in the translucent window, leaving what he had
recovered untouched. There were a lot on the list that he had
either recreated through his sheer willpower or had been
unlocked yet he couldn't remember learning them. It was even
worse that some of the jutsu were from some of the other girls .
. . that he had completely spaced on. Getting stuck in a Loop
again -no matter the format- had apparently blocked his memories
beyond the Chuunin Exams.
He just didn't want to admit he forgot.

"Kami this interface is annoying," Naruto groused as he finally
found the end of his sheet. He was rather unhappy that the
capped skills were at the beginning as it would save him some
time in getting to those that need work if they were out of the
way. Balancing his state of mind out was the sheer number of
things that he had learned -along with what he had forgotten- in
the Time-Loop and afterwards. Oh well, at least they were in
alphabetical order so it wasn't too much of a hassle.
Good grief did he have some training to do though! All right,
time to do some math and figure out his attribute distribution.
As his mind went blank, a mental note was made that while he had
some sword skills he was missing the Kenjutsu Attribute, which
caused him to scratch his head in wonder.

Well, now that is a sign of progress! Any foul mood Naruto
might have been feeling was washed away by the rather massive
boost he got. Finally his Genjutsu was up to snuff with
everything else, even if it did take a massive chunk of points
to do so. He also opted to bank a sizeable chunk for the
Kenjutsu Attribute when it appeared to stay with his balanced
theme. Now came the hard part, going through his Skills to
chose which ones to dump the paltry amount of points into. Ugh,
this was going to take a while.

Joy to the world . . .
Hokage's Office; Next Morning; 0800
"We have ourselves a bit of a quandary," the Hokage eyed the
Jounin cramped into his office, "in that for once we have a
class full of graduates that have quite a few within each other
in terms of skill, intelligence and everything else that makes a
Shinobi. The usual tier method -two strong offset by a lesser
with potential- is not going to work here without severely
unbalancing the Teams."
"Give me Naruto, Hinata and Ino," Tsunade stood proud with her
arms crossed, daring anybody to challenge her. While her title,
bestowed upon her by a foreign power, had been honored her
official rank just happened to be Elite Jounin.
Her years of service, even with her sojourn into a bottle,
trumped the rest of the Jounin in the room by a mile. Thanks in
part to the resets of old and being stuck in yet another, she
had decided to get back into top form. What really motivated
her had been watching Naruto take a Fuuma Shuriken to the skull
a couple times before figuring out how to handle Mizuki.
No way where they going to tell the blond that they had to wait
for sleep to claim them before a 'reset' occurred. That had
been terrible by itself.
"What?" Asuma Sarutobi coughed, having inhaled his cigarette.
Fortunately for him he had yet to light it otherwise he would be
having a bad case of heartburn. He failed to notice that
Kurenai had a small, knowing smile adorning her face yet said
nothing to help him.
