’Sotis, I hate my life.’ Naruto growled out from the depths of his mind, one eyebrow twitching erratically.
It wasn’t the first ti he’d had such thoughts, though it was the first ti in a fair bit of ti that he’d done so. The source for the young Jinchūriki’s ire was currently floating lazily in front of his face, a screen of pale blue amidst a world of grey.

Naruto had been scrolling through the list of D-ranks for what felt like the past ten minutes, trying to find anything that seed remotely interesting, only to be t with nothing but chores and grunt work. The sheer tedium of it all was already giving him a headache, and he hadn’t even started on the actual missions.
Seriously, how lazy were the civilians in this village that they had to pay actual shinobi to paint their fences, mow their grass, and tend their gardens?
At least a few of them offered so halfway-decent rewards, with the best being for the [Walking Inuzuka Dogs] quest. Taming an animal, that certainly sounded like sothing he could get behind. [Horticulture] sounded kind of h, especially since he was pretty sure that Ino already had that skill at around Level 30 or sothing. Still, he wouldn’t say no if it was offered.
As long as there wasn’t so limit to the number of skills he could acquire, any skill was sothing worth acquiring in his books.
Taking a mont to pull himself out of his ruminations, Naruto felt his eye twitch again as he took in his situation again. Everything he could see (from the old man, his teammates and sensei, the bits of furniture in the room, even the sky visible from the room’s windows) had turned an odd sepia colour, looking as if he was caught standing in so old drawing or picture. Worse, the world and everyone in it seed to have frozen solid, no one else in the room had so much as twitched since the old man had reached for the pile of mission scrolls on his desk marked with a large D.
Hell, there was a bird outside the window that seed stuck in mid-air between wingbeats.
While normally this kind of situation would have been far more intriguing, especially with the pranking opportunity it could present later on, but there was one major problem: Naruto couldn’t move either! He was literally stuck in the sa spot and position as he’d been when ti seemingly froze, only able to move his eyes in order to scroll down the Mission Selection screen.
That changed what could have been an interesting and rather useful ability into sothing far more annoying.
His nose had been itching for the past five minutes and if he couldn’t scratch it soon, he was going to lose his fucking mind!
"So I’m guessing the world’s going to stay like this until I select our D-ranks for the day?" Naruto grumbled between unmoving teeth. Asuma-sensei was relaxing to one side, while Ino and Sakura were flanking him. "Better get to it then."
Taking another look at the available missions, he quickly noticed that focusing on one brought up more details, including an estimated completion ti for each; ranging from only taking a few minutes to several hours. He couldn’t see any details on the High D-rank missions, only a ssage that they required at least 20 regular D-ranks to be completed before they were unlocked. It was also waived if you had at least one full year of experience as a genin or were promoted to Chūnin.
