He tapped the '-5' next to his STR stat and was shocked slightly when a loud chime sounded, followed swiftly by another window popping up.

[Flaw Discovered!]

[Malnourished]

[Malnourished] (Passive)

Your diet is poor, limited and unhealthy. You are not growing properly and may never reach your full height.

- 5 from all physical stats

This Flaw can be remedied by eating a varied diet of different foods, rather than a ramen-exclusive diet.

"…the hell?!" Naruto was beside himself at this. Yes, he ate a lot of ramen, but for it to get to the point that it was affecting his health?

The blond boy sighed. "Not much I can do about it…I'll have to have a think about what I can do…"

Closing the Status window, he then went back to the [Guide] and opened the Perks window.

[Perks]

Perks are the opposite of Flaws. They are unique (or semi-unique in some cases) traits and quirks of yours that are separate from your Special Statuses.

While most Perks are overwhelmingly positive, they do occasionally come with some demerits. These can be mitigated to some extent, but don't get your hopes up of that actually happening as it is a lot of work to do so.

You can gain or lose perks as you go through life and occasionally, weapons or armour will grant you a perk for as long as you have it equipped, although these are exceptionally rare items.

For more information on your Perks, please visit your Perks Page.

"OK, something positive for a change!" Naruto praised. He closed the [Guide] and opened the [Perks] page.

- Benten's Blessing

- Outside the Box

"Benten? One of the Seven Lucky Gods? Seriously?" Naruto said with a headshake as he tapped the first perk.

[Benten's Blessing] (Passive)

The Goddess Benten has blessed your life. You will go through much hardship, but your luck at gambling, in combat and random rewards is almost like a cheat code.

-Passively increases the chance of a rare drop from enemies by 50%

-Passively increases your chances of winning at games of chance by 50%

-Passively increases your chances of receiving a random reward at the end of a quest by 30%

-Passively increases your chance of Random Encounters in Dungeons and Field Dungeons by 50%

Warning, this Perk can be lost by giving up on your goals.

"Uzumaki Naruto doesn't give up, so that ain't happening." Naruto scoffed, "So this is the reason why my LUK stat is a question-mark. Meh. Shit happens."

Closing that window, Naruto then tapped on his only other perk, [Outside the Box].

[Outside the Box] (Passive)

Most people have this thing called a box that they use to think in, making them predictable. You do not think like this. You think outside the box, flexibly and from a fresh perspective, although this does have the slight disadvantage of making you less able to use conventional wisdom.

+ 50 per Level to [Unconventional Tactics]

+20% EXP to [Unconventional Tactics]

-30% EXP to [Conventional Tactics]

This Perk cannot be lost as it is a part of your way of thinking.

Well some good news there." Naruto muttered. Really, who would want to think inside a box? Boring!

"Well, that should do it." the blond boy sighed, "Now…to Ichiraku's!"

Naruto ran out to his favourite eatery, deciding to return to reviewing his abilities after his brunch.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Same Time

With Iruka, Hokage Tower

The atmosphere inside the Hokage's Office was so tense that Iruka was certain that he could cut it with a kunai. The face of Sarutobi Hiruzen was as hard as granite as he stared into space.

"So, just to make sure I have all the facts." the Hokage said slowly, "Naruto-kun's apartment has been vandalised at least once a week since he was seven. After the first fifty times, the Landlord forced Naruto-kun to start replacing the window himself, although he did supply proper tools and materials for the repairs, at least.

Now Naruto-kun is at least as skilled at an apprentice Joiner when it comes to putting in a window. In addition, someone, likely the person responsible for smashing his window in the first place, has started throwing decomposing canine excrement into Naruto-kun's apartment as well. Is that an accurate summation?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama." Iruka replied nervously.

Sarutobi sighed. "I truly have failed Naruto-kun to allow this to go on for so long. Five Years! Well, no more. Neko!"

"Hai, Hokage-sama!" the same purple-haired female ANBU from the last time Iruka had been here appeared in the same place as before.

"Set a team to monitoring Naruto-kun's apartment tonight. I want whoever is responsible for this caught."

"I shall see to it myself, Hokage-sama." Neko replied before vanishing in a puff of smoke.

"I must thank you for informing me of this Iruka-kun." Sarutobi said with a small smile, "I suspect that Naruto-kun didn't want to worry me about his situation, although I will have a word with him next Friday about telling me when something like this has been going on."

"It was the right thing to do, Hokage-sama." Iruka said modestly, "I do have another subject to bring up that is related to Naruto."

"Oh?" Sarutobi looked at the chunin and motioned for him to continue.
