"Really, that would be awesome, Shikamaru."
"Sure, sure," said Shikamaru, waving him off.
"So, do you have time to play some shogi?"
"I wish, but I'd better get home. My mother is going to be a nag as it is."
"Alright then, see you tomorrow, man."
"See you," said Shikamaru.
You have slept in your bed. HP & CP are fully stored.
Another three months had come and gone for Naruto. Having Shikamaru in on his 'gamer life secret thing' proved to be a really boon. He even figured out what it took to raise his INT stat much to his frustration, he had to pay attention in class and study. It was not ideal but it worked and pushing him even further from learning Bunshin than he was before.

It was just enough improvement to feel like he'd really accomplished something, now if only he could freaking level again. That was by far the most annoying part of this.
The good news on the level front is that today was another delivery quest day for Higurashi Weapons. And if it went well then he'd be honored with the shop and that would get him 15% off everything in the shop which means it would be time to go on a spending spree. But best of all it should be just enough to get him to level 9.
Higurashi Weapons – Friendly 950/1000
It was now June and the weather had turned quite hot in Hi no Kuni and Naruto was feeling it, especially in his busted ass apartment his now 'unfriendly' landlord still wouldn't fix for him.
Landlord – Unfriendly – 150/1000
Still, all that considered, things were looking up. He had five months until his graduation exam and at his current rate he should be at least level 10 and if he's really lucky, level 11.
First things first, he had to get through today.

"Good morning, class," said Iruka, entering the room carrying a large box with him. That was something Naruto hadn't seen him with previously.
"Okay, so time for a little change up in our routine. To start, no more bukijutsu lectures. If you don't get by it now you probably never will. There will only be practice and that practice will be moved to the mobile range from today to graduation. Day two will be switched to stealth theory and practice in place of chakra theory. And on day three we'll be integrating trap theory and techniques, so we'll be shortening tactics lessons. Any questions before we get started?"
"What do you mean mobile range?" asked Sakura.
"We will be using the advanced target range. The targets will simulate combat and move, sometimes targets will pop-up suddenly and some targets will move on cables between trees. It is several times more difficult than the static range you've trained on for the last few years," explained Iruka. "This also means you will be throwing in multiples, no longer one kunai or one shuriken at a time. This is not about accuracy any more but using proper spread vectors and timing."
Naruto found himself nodding in understanding. He also couldn't help feeling eager for what was to come. It might mean a new skills and new quests. All of the new classes might for that matter.
"Right, if there are no more questions let's get out there and get to it," ordered Iruka, picking up the box he'd just brought in.
"This is going to be epic," said Naruto cheerfully, walking next to his lazy friend and Chouji.
"For you maybe," said Shikamaru, knowing of Naruto's gamer ability and figuring Naruto would get a skill of some kind for it. "You're so broken, Naruto."
Naruto however just grinned at the comment. "You call it broken, I call it winning."
Out at the range Naruto watched his classmates take turns throwing a spread of weapons at various targets both moving and popping out from hidden locations. While doing so he was trying to figure out how to do the same.
Finally Naruto's turn came up and he was handed two kunai and four shuriken.
"Okay, so your goal is the throw them all together at one of the target areas," explained Iruka briefly.
"Any suggestions on how to do that?"
