I turn around to see a Hyuga clan member running over.

"I guess someone came to pick you up. This is goodbye then, see you at the academy." I wave at her as I leave.

"Ah, but…" she wanted to say something but I'm already leaving and the Hyuga clansman already reaches her.

"Hinata-sama, there you are. Hiashi-sama wants you back at the clan."

"Ah… ok." Hinata answer in a low voice but loud enough for me to still hear.

"By the way, who was that boy?" the Hyuga clansman asked curiously.

"A friend of Neji-niisan… I think." was all I heard before I walk out of range.

It was nice meeting her and she's even cuter in real life than she is in the show. Hmm… I wonder if they allow polygamy here if so I definitely want her to be one of my future Harem members. I just have to figure out how to do it first… and also try to see if CRA is real.

[Ding! Quest Trigger

Quest: Fate Can be Change

Beat Neji as the top shinobi of the year

Reward: Hinata will be more inclined to believe you

Failure: Neji mock you, Hinata lose faith in you]

Ooo, a quest. I didn't think I'll get one just by talking to someone. Well, the Game did say that regular quests are just goals I set for myself so I guess trying to become the top shinobi of the year count as a quest too.

After exploring the village some more, it started getting dark so I head back to my apartment.

'When do school start anyway?' I ask the Game on my way home.

[School starts tomorrow Monday, April 2nd.]

So soon? And here I thought I have a few days to get used to everything before having to go to school again.

After walking for a while, I came across a Raman store. The famous Ichiraku Ramen. I haven't eaten anything since I got here so I decided to check it out.

"Welcome, what would you like?" a teenage girl who I assume is Ayame asked as soon as I sit down.

"A bowl of Miso Ramen please."

Ayame went to the back for a while before coming back with a bowl of ramen.

"Here you go. One Miso Ramen." She placed the bowl down before looking up at me. "A new customer? I haven't seen you around before."

"Haha, yeah. I heard that this place has the best ramen in the village so I want to check it out. My name is Sen Hiroki, you can call me Hiro." I said as I pick up my chopsticks and stir the ramen around. Whenever I eat anything like Ramen or Noodles I always like to cover everything in the soup before eating it.

"I'm Ayame and my dad back there is Teuchi. Hope you enjoy the ramen." Ayame said before moving to take care of other customers.

The ramen was good, the best ramen I ever ate in fact, but I wouldn't say it's the best food ever like Naruto.

"The ramen is good. I'm definitely coming back here again." I said after I empty the bowl.

"Glad you like it. That'll be 100 Ryo." Ayame said with a smile.

After paying for the ramen, I make my way home again. Flopping onto the bed, I think about what I'm going to do tomorrow and how to get stronger in the future.

From what I understand by watching Naruto there are 5 main methods of getting stronger. The first and probably the easiest method for me is to train my bloodline. Just having a bloodline limit already put me above regular ninja. If I trained and master it, I'll be able to at least make it to Jounin relying on it alone.

The second and third methods rely on Jutsu. The second way is to have a powerful Jutsu that not many people can resist like Guy's Eight Gate or Tsunade Strength of a Hundred Seal. Having a powerful Jutsu is an easy way to get recognized as a powerful ninja. The only problem is that powerful techniques are dangerous to train and/or hard to come by.

The third way is to have a versatile Jutsu that can help you in any situation like Minato's Flying Thunder God or Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear. Once you master a versatile technique, it'll be hard for enemies to kill you and easy for you to get an advantage over your enemies.

The fourth method is to become a Jinchuuriki. Every Jinchuuriki have a special trait that can help them in their ninja career but more importantly, Jinchuuriki will get a massive boost in chakra allowing them to fire off regular Ninjutsu with a lot more power. That is if the Jinchuuriki can handle the downside of being a jailer of a tailed beast.

This method is out for me since the tailed beasts are not in the store and there are no other tailed beasts just laying around… beside the three tails Isobu. But to become the three tails Jinchuuriki I have to befriend him or become stronger than him and capture him. I'll also need to learn Fuinjutsu, something that is said to be really hard by everyone in Naruto. Not to mention the fact that I'll have to deal with the political fallout of becoming the three tails Jinchuuriki and risk war with Kiri.

The final method is to become a Sage. Everyone already knows how powerful a person can become after they learn Sage-Mode. It allows Jiraiya who was fighting a losing battle against Pein to not only match the Rinnegan in power also kills three of Pein's bodies. I bet that if it wasn't for the Naraka Path, Jiraiya would have beat Pein. There is also Kabuto who lost to kid Naruto but become powerful enough to fight both Mangekyou Sharingan Susake and Itachi after learning his own Sage-Mode.

If I'm proficient in just two of these or mastered one, I bet I'll be considered an S-Class shinobi. For now, I'm going to be focusing on training my Kekkei Genkai but that doesn't mean I can't start to train the foundation of another one. Specifically Sage-Mode.

One of the steps in learning Sage-Mode, at least for Naruto, is meditation which I can get started right now. Even though I don't know the correct way to meditate, I did remember something I read from a sports manga once.

I sit up with your legs crossed, hands on my legs, back straight, close my mouth, put my tongue behind my teeth and only breathe through my nose. I then count every breath I take through my nose. Every time I think of something beside counting, I'll start over again from 0. The first goal is to get to 100 without any other thoughts.

I thought it was easy but it turns out to be harder than expected. One of the main reasons it's so hard is because every time I start to count without any other thought, I always get excited and end up thinking about how good I'm doing. Because of that, I usually have to start from the beginning again.

I believe this is only the first step to meditation, to clear my mind of distracting thoughts and focus on only one thing. The next step will be to empty my mind then figure out a way to feel Natural Energy after succeeding in emptying my mind. After that… well, I can figure it out later. I still have a long way to go before I even reach step 2.

I fell asleep somewhere in the middle of trying to meditate. By the time I woke up, the sun is already starting to come out. Weirdly enough, I fell asleep while still sitting. Standing up, I don't feel any cramps from my legs or feel anything out of the ordinary at all. After thinking about for a bit, I just chuck it up to the Gamer's Body skill.

Since today is the first day of school, I got ready and head out early in case I get lost. If I remember right, the academy is near the Hokage's office… or was it under the Hokage's office?
