You have slept in your bed. HP & CP are fully restored.
Naruto awoke yawning, he may have been game fully rested but he felt a bit off. After finding out about the daily quests the day before and drudging through them it left him with plenty to think about. It was just more stuff the game was throwing at him. He couldn't help but wonder if things would always be this hectic. It was surprising then when he suddenly realized that he hadn't taken a day off, just off to relax and do nothing since the game thing started.
"That's it, this weekend I'm taking off, no training, no work, no dailies or quests," stated Naruto, suddenly feeling quite a bit lighter mentally.
After the previous night, Shikamaru and Chouji had already decided to take a day off of training with Naruto so it left him to his own devices.
As such, it didn't take Naruto very long to go through his morning and get out to the market district to pick up the same five daily quests, figuring he'd get them done before meeting his team.
"Glad you could join us, Naruto," said Kakashi, watching Naruto sprint into the field.
"Sorry, I'm not late, am I?"
"No, you're right on time," said Kakashi.
"Whew, that was close," said Naruto, wiping some imaginary sweat from his brow.
"Anyway, let's get to the mission office and see what's available to us," suggested Kakashi.
Naruto was agitated by the mission assigned. They had to catch Tora, the cat that Naruto had expended quite a bit of effort scaring off that morning. It made him really wish the game came with some kind of mini-map feature.
Professional Quest Alert
That was new. Yet more 'gamer' bull shit to make Naruto's life a little more difficult.
Fuinjutsu can do anything: Create a new seal to imitate an active mapping utility.
Earn level 20 to [Fuinjutsu] Skill and use 'Discovery'.
Completion Award: 5000 Exp
Naruto accepted the quest, still not completely sure what 'Discovery' was or what it did but it couldn't hurt him any to work on it, plus it was worth a good chunk of experience. The only down side is that Naruto would have to buy a lot more fuinjutsu supplies from Higurashi's in addition to putting in a lot of effort toward leveling his fuinjutsu.
Naruto sighed but followed his team on the hunt for Tora. Hours later and several unpleasant scratches that wouldn't fade, 'Demonic Infected Scratches'. How the hell that cat was a demon, Naruto did not know, understand, or want to understand for that matter?
"So, next stop is the library," said Kakashi, earning three relatively surprised looks from his students.
"What's at the library?" asked Naruto.
"You'll just have to wait and see," said Kakashi, his face still buried in the porn book.
"You'd better not be taking us there to try and get us to start reading your books," snapped Sakura, her eyebrow twitching in clear annoyance.
"I would never," said Kakashi, mocking being appalled by the suggestion.
"You would," deadpanned Naruto and Sakura in one voice.
"Hn."
Kakashi rolled his one eye and guided the group toward the library.
"Hatake-san, I told you not to bring that trash in here," chided the librarian upon seeing the group.
Naruto frowned thinking she was talking about him.
"But it's a book," protested Kakashi. "Aren't all pieces of extraordinary literature welcome in such hallowed halls?"
"Geisha Hotaru, is literature. Ruroni Kenshin is literature. Icha Icha is not nor will ever be considered literature so long as I run this library. Now put it away before I burn it and you with it."
Kakashi paled slightly and put his book away.
"Now, what can I do for you and your team, Hatake-san?" she asked, smiling pleasantly.
"I'm taking my team to the restricted section," said Kakashi.
"You're not teaching them jutsu from there are you?" she asked, looking at him rather pointedly.
"Of course not," said Kakashi. "I was told they needed to learn a taijutsu style, it's not really something I specialize in so here we are."
"Okay, but I'll be monitoring you and them very closely."
Kakashi swallowed heavily. "Yes, ma'am."
Naruto looked at the byplay between the pair with a fair amount of amusement. Ever since the old man had changed the librarian, Naruto had been able to come in and check out a book here and there but he was always cautious about it, especially with the old bat behind the counter glaring at him. But now that she was glaring at Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke, and himself all equally he was actually very reassured.
"If any of you damage my books, I damage you, understood?" demanded the old lady looking at the group.
"Yes, ma'am," they all chorused immediately.
Silently the group moved through the library and up to the third floor. There the group was met by a heavily reinforced door guarded by four shinobi, all wearing ANBU masks and all with '?' next to their levels. It was strange too that there were no names, just their animal names.
