~~~POV: Fuyuki Uchiha~~~
It’s been two weeks since I was reborn in the world of Naruto. It hasn’t been easy, but not as hard either. Right now, the hardest thing is dealing with other five-year-olds. I stand out compared to them. The way I act and speak. Aiko sees that I’m different.
I’m acting differently compared to the Fuyuki to whom this body belonged. The kid was the opposite of how I’m behaving now. The worried look I get from Aiko isn’t the only detriment I’ve faced due to this. She won’t let me leave the orphanage. Giving excuses about why I’m not allowed outside.
All I can do is sit at one of the windows and see Konoha. I can’t walk around it. I don’t know anything about Konoha’s locations aside from the Hokage monument and the academy all the future Shinobi train at. Even then, I don’t know where they’re located in the actual village.
My eyes scan the people walking up and down the street. Some are carrying food home, and others are in their Shinobi gear. I want out of the orphanage so damn bad. I’m cooped up in here. There has to be a way for me to sneak out without getting heat from Aiko and returning without her knowing I was gone.
Quest Created - ‘Get Out, Explore, Get Back In.’

‘Fuck yes, I accept. I need to get out of this place. Just for a little while and stretch my legs.’
My eyes narrow in my efforts to read, making sure I get all the information. I was wondering when I’d get my first quest. Seems I can get quests if my emotions for it are strong enough. I don’t see a time limit on the quest, so I guess that means I can get it done whenever.
‘I’m not gonna wait around and find out, though. It’s time I get a break from the watchful eye of Aiko and have some fun. Just need to make sure I don’t get caught.’
She’s busy with a lot of the other kids, so I have a perfect opportunity. I can’t just walk out the front door; she’ll see me if I do that. I spend a few minutes looking through the rooms around the second floor, and I find a way out and to the streets of Konoha.
Through the window in Aiko’s room. This place is strictly off-limits, and if we’re ever caught in here, it’s timeout and punishment time. I bet Aiko thinks none of the kids have the balls to do this. Which makes it a better coming and going point than anywhere else in the orphanage.
Due to a reasonable and sound deduction, you’ve obtained +1 WIS.
I’ve been earning a lot of WIS and INT stat points for my observations and deductions about the world around me. It’s come in handy. It’s a foreign feeling to me. I can feel my mind getting sharper as I gain the stat points. It’s a small increase bit by bit.
Focusing back on the mission to get out of here, I make it to Aiko’s window and open it. Climbing through and making my way over to the ledge. Not seeing an easy way down, I’m forced to think outside the box.
‘C’mon, think Fuyuki. There are plenty of ways to safely get from a higher point to a lower one. Ropes, ledges, climbing. There is an answer around here somewhere.’
I start to shimmy my way across the roof and search for anything that could allow a five-year-old to scale down the side of a first-floor wall. To my luck, there is a ladder attached to the building next door. It reaches all the way to the ground.
‘It’s fucking risky, but I’m willing to take it. Hang in there with me, body; it’ll be dicey here for a few seconds.’
The moment of truth is here, and I get a small running start as I jump across the small alley and grab the ladder. Coming to an abrupt stop. Fortunately, there is no pain from the impact. I don’t feel any damage, so I start to scale down the ladder.
Taking my first steps outside the orphanage since I arrived in this world.

‘More EXP and rep increase for a simple quest like this? Shoot, yes. Give it to me. I got a seven-day time limit.’
It’s a little after eight in the morning, and we just had breakfast at the Orphanage. I don’t know if I have seven days to complete the quest this new one is connected to, but I shouldn’t rush it with a time limit like this. Being gone for a few hours at a time seems like the best approach to this.
‘Since the first quest doesn’t have a time limit, I can take my sweet time. Aiko not learning about this is the main goal of failing or not. I’ve never been a very patient person, but considering I have a reward for patience, I can actually say it’s not something I dread.’
I exit the alley and immediately take off in a direction completely random to me. I don’t know Konoha, so this is a learning experience as much as it’s a quest.
As I’m going at a fast walking pace, I’m using Observe on everything that I can. Getting new information about random things and leveling up the skill at the same time. Observe is an amazing skill, and one I’ll be using every day of my life here.
‘Observe.’
[Signpost]
[A metal signpost that points in the direction of the hospital, Hokage Tower, and the general market. This particular signpost is new and has been here for around 3 years.]
‘Observe.’
[Daisy]
[A common type of flower found around Konoha. Flower shops and gardens often use Daisies as decorations around their business for their aesthetic looks.]
‘Observe.’
[Flying Squirrel]
HP: 20 CP: 13
[One of the many subspecies of squirrels located in the Fire Country. The Flying Squirrels of Konoha have specifically adapted their bodies to traverse the many trees and great forests located here. One of the more populated squirrel species around.]
Skill Observe has risen its level by 13.
The boosts I get from Prodigy Boost make EXP pains and leveling skills super easy. Observe is already level 54. I’m looking forward to when I start learning Ninjutsu and everything connected to the Shinobi Arts. For now, it’s about taking baby steps.
From what I remember, Itachi was an unparalleled genius and made the Anbu Black Ops squad at a really young age. I can’t remember if it was 10, 11, or 12. I don’t know why I was reborn into Naruto when I know so little about it.
‘It’s a mystery. Other than the easy explanation that it was connected to the lottery I supposedly won. Truly random in everything, including the world.’
I shouldn’t be focusing on what’s not in my control and already in the past. Since I’ve been given a sign that points me in the direction of nearby markers of significance. I start making my way to the Konoha Hospital since it’s the closest.
There are way more than six locations that carry such a title, but the quest gave me something easy and of my level. There are probably around 100 or so such locations in Konoha, but that’s a rough guess.
I spend around 20 minutes walking at a fast speed, and I find the large Hospital in Konoha.
[You have found the Konoha Hospital. Quest Progression 1/6]
This quest will be easy; I just need to take my time over the next seven days. Maybe in that time, Aiko will start letting me go out on my own with her consent.
‘Observe.’
[Konoha Hospital]
[The center of healing and medical research and advancement in the Fire Country. This Hospital has been here since the First Hokage founded the Village and has survived Three Shinobi World Wars. All medical Ninjutsu is taught here.]
All I can do is smile. The hospital building is around six stories tall, and a some odd number over a hundred meters. I’ve still got around an hour and a half before people notice I’m gone from the orphanage, but I’ve already finished one of the six quest objectives today.
‘No need to push my luck and get found out by Aiko and the other kids. The last thing I want is someone ratting me out for some favoritism from Aiko. It’ll happen if I’m not careful.’
Due to a reasonable and sound deduction, you’ve obtained +1 WIS.
I turn around and start fast walking back the way I came. It doesn’t take me long to get back. I climb the ladder on the neighboring building and get high enough to clear the jump. I land and make almost no noise. Proud of myself for that.
Due to extreme use of Agility and Dexterity, you’ve obtained +1 AGI and +1 DEX.
I climb back through Aiko’s bedroom window and exit her room. As I do, I’m greeted by my first completed quest.

All I can do is look at the massive quest that appears before me as I enter the large room where all the bunks are kept. I make my way over to my bed and take a seat. The hard part about this quest is getting Aiko to teach me, but I have an entire month to convince her.
This isn’t something to rush through; I can take my time.
