True Beginning

Laiz opened his eyes to the clear blue skies above him.

'Where..?'

Laiz sat up and brushed his blue hair away from his eyes.

'.. Right.. I'm in a new world..'

Laiz would have had the opposite reaction had it not been for the other memories that came from it.

Laiz took a deep breath, clearing away his confusion and distraction.

"New world!"

Then said these words firmly, before smiling to himself.

After maintaining that mood for a few seconds, he finally addressed his situation seriously.

'Ok, first where am i?'

Laiz focused his gaze on his suroundings.

From what he could tell, he was in a forrest. Except the trees were WAY taller and wider than the average trees of his world.

'There could be wildlife around'

Laiz was aware that wild animals tend to flourish in these conditions where there was a lacking amount of humans and had a large amounts of resources.

With his cautious mind, he brought a normal military colored black for camouflage made of a material that had no gleam to it.

Along with the knife was a glock 43 with a silencer which was coloured black and covered with the same material from the knife.

Laiz was not at all knowledgeable about pistols, fortunately the system was detailed to the core of it's items. So he at least had an idea of the structure and functions of the weapon he could possibly depend his life on.

These two items left Laiz's 600pt to 400pt. He saved that 400pt for food, just in case there were none around.

With his preparations ready, Laiz held his pistol with both hands, he put his knife in the inventory for closer ranged opponents.

Laiz didn't forget to make sure to test his speed of grasping his knife from his inventory.

After some time spent getting himself familiar with that, he was assured in his ability to survive the unknown.

...

Laiz was now crouched inside a bush. His clothes were covered in dirt while his shoes were no better from running around the dirty grounds.

Despite this, Laiz's focus was directed straight into a group if people.

In front him was a group of carriages each run by one or two horses in front.

Each carriage looked too old to be something close from modern society, yet too elegant to be from the old ages.

On each carriege was two or three people running the horses while the back carried many boxes with ranging sizes.

Laiz scanned each person and carriage to see if they were carrying any weapon. He did manage to look through the people but the most of the carriages was covered by a thin layer of sheets.

Laiz just looked to what he can right now.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

After a few seconds, a pouch on every person was all he had his suspicion on.

'.. I need information and a place to go, i'll try communicating with them'

With that quick decision, he put his weapons in his inventory.

However, he wasn't gonna let his guard and left his inventory open. Just in case.

He cleaned his clothes as much as he can until it was at least presentable, before approaching the group from the front.

...

"Hey man!"

Laiz's sky gazing was interrupted by the burly man manning the horse in front that had a friendly grin.

Laiz let out a small smile in response.

"How're you goin in there? Were about to get to Konoha soon!"

Despite the man's close distance from Laiz, he had somehow decided to shout his words like he was talking to someone across the road.

"I'm doing fine, thanks for the heads up"

Laiz wondered if the person next to the burly man was alright..

"Alright! No Problem!"

'Probably not..'

After the short conversation, Laiz laid back down and thought about what had happened from the past three days.

The group was very wary of Laiz when he first approuched them.

Laiz remembered their first reaction,

Most reached towards their pouches, each locking their eyes on him.

Laiz had been tempted to grab his weapons then and there but kept his cool until he was clear on their footing towards him.

Fast forward a few hours and Laiz was now overly friendly with the group. They shared a few drinks at night where a lot of people got drunk.

A few heads were already in the sky and ground at the middle of the night while others who had more alcohol resistance competed with each other wildly.

Laiz choose hold back on the drink, he did not want to be like the people lying on the ground.

After that weird bonding time with the group, he had finally gotten an idea to which world he was.

Turns out that the group was transporting goods to Konoha.

Konoha.

Laiz was in the Naruto series.

Laiz had almost spit out his milk after that discovery..

No wonder these merchants had the reaction they had when first meeting him. This world was full of dangers, and rogues were a merchants worst enemy in these times.

After that, he asked if he could ride with them.

Luckily they had some space, so they let him ride with the two merchant in front of him.

'Must of been my beauty'

Which led to his soon arrival to Konoha.

'Were arriving in Konoha soon.. I wonder which timeline i'm in'

Laiz had seen nothng but trees and the sky during his travels with the merchants, so he had no idea which time in the series he was in.

'Well, i'll find out soon'

Laiz closed his eye and went for a small nap.

...

Laiz woke up to a scene which shocked him.

In the distance was a large city.

'..This is Konoha right?'

The city looked like it was split in two. The first half was a more suited style to what Laiz remembered from the series.

While the other half was behind and in top of the Hokage stone statues.

The structure of this half was similar to what you would find in a modern society's city. It had many tall building and skyscrapers reaching the skies.

'.. This is the Boruto series'

Laiz had no doubt about it.

He had seen enough episodes of the Boruto series to know the only Konoha this advance was in the Boruto series. Just a few years after the ending of the Naruto series.

The carriage was soon reaching the gate, not leaving enough time for Laiz to regain his bearings.

'What do i do..?'

Laiz had no idea what to do next, he could've went to the ninja academy to learn some skills, but the required age was five to nine.

'There's always the library'

As that was the only thing he currently had in mind, he decided to head to the library first. After the identification from the gate that is..

Laiz relaxed for the remaining time,

Until they were finally in front of the gate.

Now that he was here, he had to say that this gate and wall was MASSIVE

It's thickness and height didn't fail to amaze Laiz.

It's not often you see a wall with such size..

"May I have any type of identification please"

As the ninja guard said this, the other shinobis asked to each driver to search their carriages. They, of course had to comply.

After taking a quick glance to those shinobi, he focused on the conversation ahead.

Laiz overheard the shinobi guard talking to the head merchant. He was a bit curious on how people in this era was identified.

"Here"

The head merchant took out a metal square box that looked a lot similar to a phone.

With his elemental senses, he managed to see the screen of the phone.

It seemed like a normal card in digital form.

Nothing too complex.

The shinobi guard took his time scanning through the content before passing it back to the head merchant. He looked at the other shinobis after their search who each nodded in response.

The shinobi turned to the head merchant,

"You're clear, please enjoy your stay"

The ninja's monotrome voice changed into a more welcoming after their successful entry

"Thank you"

The head merchant replied courteously.

With that, the shinobis moved out of the road to allow the carriages to pass through.

Finally, as the carriage moved inside, Laiz was welcomed into the beautiful interior of Konoha.
