For some reason, he couldn't see his standing with Mizuki, but judging by the fact that he had concealed a look of intense dislike towards Naruto and the seriously high number of points needed to move to the next level compared to the others he'd seen…it was either Exalted or At War and Naruto wasn't naïve enough to hope it was Exalted.

You have deduced something important. Your WIS goes up by one.

Ignoring the window that popped up to one side, Naruto watched as Mizuki's entry changed from three question marks to 'At War'. He knew that this meant he could not let himself be alone with the blue-haired teacher as there was no telling what he might do.

Scrolling down further, he spotted Tenten.

Higurashi Tenten - Friendly- 500/2000

"Why the heck is someone I've just met so friendly to me?" Naruto wondered as he tapped her name.

The adopted daughter of Higurashi Tatsuhiko and Kanae, Tenten can sympathise with a fellow orphan well. Being introduced by her old Academy Sensei doesn't hurt either.

"Huh…guess that makes sense." Naruto nodded. Closing the [Individual] panel, he tapped on the [Organisations] name and started scanning that one.

Sadly, most of the stores, restaurants and café's on the list were almost universally aligned to 'Hated'. The few exceptions stood out like sore thumbs.

Ichiraku Ramen - Exalted - 10000/10000

Konohagakure Shinobi Academy - Neutral - 241/1000

Higurashi Weapons and Ninja Apparel - Well-Liked - 1567/4000

Three stores out of about fifty. Seriously. Ichiraku's wasn't a surprise as he'd been visiting the Ramen stand ever since he was…four? Five? The Academy being Neutral was a surprise, but then again, the chunin-sensei had to keep to high standards to be able to teach and the Hokage kept a very close eye on their activities there, so they inexactly have any choice but to be even-handed with him.

Higurashi's was a surprise as well. Naruto had never even heard of the shop before today, though he vaguely recalled seeing Tenten sometime last year getting picked up by a man who looked like he juggled boulders in his spare time.

Deciding that he had scoped out his reputation enough for one day, Naruto closed the windows and opened his Flaws screen. Time to find out what this game said was wrong about him.

- Eyesore

- Pariah

- Headstrong

As he already knew what the [Eyesore] flaw was, and had already taken steps to counter it, he decided to start with [Pariah].

[Pariah] (Passive)

For some reason, the people around you shun and ignore you, almost to the point of you being ostracised.

-15% to Reputation Gains with Civilian members of Konohagakure who are aware of why you are a [Pariah].

-5% to Reputation Gains with members of the Konohagakure Shinobi Forces who are aware of why you are

This Flaw can be removed over time, partially or as a whole, with enough hard work to change the populaces opinion of you by raising your standing with [Konohagakure no Sato] first to Well Liked, then to Exalted.

"That…sucks ass." Naruto deadpanned. Seriously. He quickly checked his reputation with Konoha as a whole and shook his head.

Konohagakure no Sato - Disliked - 234/4000

'That's going to take forever to do!' Naruto bemoaned before a look of determination came over his face, 'But Uzumaki Naruto never gives up-Dattebayo!'

A window popped up just as he finished that thought.

[Quest Alert]

[Note: Long Term]

An Uphill Struggle: In order to get your reputation out of the mud, you have to do things for the people of Konoha. Accept Quests; stop pranking people…the works. Only through determined effort can you change the opinions of those around you!

Quest Completion Reward: Acceptance by the People of Konoha

Quest Failure: Death

Accept?

[Y/N]

Great. Another Quest that he can't refuse. The fact he will supposedly die if he failed this quest was more than slightly worrisome, but he had no choice in accepting it or not.

Tapping the 'Y' button, Naruto quickly shut the window that talked about [Pariah] and opened [Headstrong].

[Headstrong] (Passive)

You are stubborn, intractable and hardheaded. Orders are something that happens to other people and advice is only applicable when you have tried to do the same thing over and over again your own way without success.

+10% to STA checks

-30% to [Teamwork]

This Flaw can be removed over time by being more dutiful in following orders and accepting advice offered by teachers and fellow classmates.

"Oi!" Naruto grumbled, "No one's ever offered me advice…except Jiji and Iruka-sensei…and there are good reasons why I can't do what they say!"

Such as going to the library to study…eating something other than ramen…wearing something that isn't orange…stuff like that! The first is impossible because he's banned from the Library for no reason; the second is because no one else will serve him other that the Ichiraku's and the last is because these jumpsuits were all he could buy from anywhere!

Granted, he was stubborn. Naruto was well aware that he could act like an ornery old mule when he dug his heels in, but there were advantages to being stubborn! Even this Flaw admitted that.

"So…maybe I should be stubborn…without being intractable?" Naruto pondered aloud, "Meh…Maybe."

Closing the two windows, Naruto brought up his Status window and looked over his actual stats first.

LUK: ?

"Ok, so my STR, DEX and INT are about average, my WIS is still below average, my LUK is Kami-sama-knows-what and my STA is pretty damn high." Naruto summed his stats up fairly quickly, "Now, why the heck are there minuses next to all my physical stats?"
