"Well, this explains why she stopped being friends with Ino." Naruto muttered aloud. He resolved to scan Ino and Sasuke the next day so he could get an accurate read of what the hell was going on with the three of them, before closing the second window and opening another.
[Mercurial Temper]
You are hot-headed with a hair-trigger temper. Either about certain things only or just in general. This makes people wary of you and reduces the likelihood of befriending them.
- Increased chance of losing your temper by 25%.
- Every instance of losing your temper will reduce your Reputation with the person in question by 10.
- Reduces [Teamwork] by 5%.
This Flaw can be removed by gaining control over your temper.
Naruto had to wince slightly at this. He had been on the receiving end of Sakura's temper quite a bit over the last year or so, so it puzzled him as to why his Reputation with her was as high as it was. Could all this only have started being applied to everyone when he received his Gamer ability?
Feeling his headache return, the blond boy filed that under 'things to consider later' and moved on to the next Flaw.
[Insecurity]
You have, as a result of bullying, a rather low sense of self esteem. There is at least one thing about yourself that you are overly self-conscious about and you cover this up with a confident front. It also leaves you more vulnerable to peer pressure and going along with the crowd.
- Reduces [?] by 25%.
- Raises chances of being swept up in the latest fads by 35%.
- Raises chance of fancying the most popular boy around by 30%.
- Raises chance of losing temper when confronted by something you dislike about yourself by 25%.
This Flaw can be removed by gaining confidence in yourself, your abilities and your appearance.
"What the hell? Another mysterious stat?" Naruto complained aloud, "C'mon! Throw me a bone here!"
Grumbling to himself, he decided to do some research on these stats. Chōji would know something about them, as he had been into them last year, although Naruto couldn't quite recall what the game had been called.
Nodding to himself at his plan, Naruto pressed the last Flaw.
[Low Stamina]
Even for a civilian, you have low stamina. Running is hard work for you and you rarely do more than the minimum required exercise during Physical Education portions of your schooling.
- Your [Tiredness] Gauge fills up quicker.
- You receive 25 less HP per level up than normal.
This Flaw can be removed by training to increase your stamina to an acceptable level, the exact number depending on your occupation. For further information, please consult the guide under 'Stats for your world'.
"This…might be a problem." Naruto conceded glumly. Sakura hated getting hot and sweaty in case it made Sasuke hate her. Great. Just great. Not only would he have to first cure her Insecurity and then break her Fangirl Flaw and Stat, he'd have to somehow make her train herself up to be half-decent in combat.
When it rains, it pours.
Closing the windows, Naruto was lost in though for a moment before he remembered he had to go to the Hokage's office to see his Jiji. Grabbing his goggles, Naruto beat feet toward the tower.
He had questions to ask.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Hokage's Office
Sarutobi was fighting through paperwork when Naruto sauntered into the room. Glad to have an excuse to get away, at least temporarily, from his mortal enemy, the Sandaime put the form he had just read, a request to turn some of the training fields into farmland, to one side.
"Ah Naruto-kun." he said warmly, "How was your first study session with Sakura-chan?"
"I have a headache." Naruto pulled a face as he answered, "We covered almost all of the battles between Shodaime-sama and Uchiha Madara, both Pre-Konoha and after its founding, as well as some of the battles during the First Great Shinobi War."
"You have made some progress then." Sarutobi suggested.
"Yeah, but does learning things have to be so damn headache-inducing?" Naruto groused.
"You aren't accustomed to absorbing that much information at once yet." Sarutobi informed his surrogate grandson, "In time, you will become used to it. Now, what can I do for you?"
"I wanted to ask about Yondaime-sama." Naruto replied, "There's almost nothing in the textbooks about him, his jutsu or even what he was like as a person."
Sarutobi frowned. "That shouldn't be right. The textbook should have some information."
"All it has is his name, the name of his jutsu, a list and description of the battles he was in and the numbers and ranks of the missions he was on." Naruto informed him.
"I see…well then, what would you like to know about?" Sarutobi asked as he mentally planned an investigation into the quality of the information being put into the textbooks.
"Well…what the heck are his jutsu? The Rasengan and the Hiraishin?" Naruto asked, "Supposedly, those two jutsu let Yondaime-sama kill 200 shinobi in one battle, but it doesn't say how."
"The Hiraishin is a Time/Space Ninjutsu that allows the user to teleport to any place that has a special jutsushiki (Jutsu Formula) nearby." Sarutobi explained, "Before the battle you are referring to happened, Minato seeded the area with his special Hiraishin Kunai, as well as hundreds of copies of jutsushiki. Combined with the Rasengan, which is a sealless jutsu that creates a orb of chakra in the palm of the user's hand that grinds an opponent grievously, Minato was able to teleport all over the battlefield and kill those two-hundred shinobi before they knew what was happening, turning the tide in the war against Iwagakure."
"Wow…that's just…wow." Naruto was, for once, at a loss for words.
