Now having a modicum of control over his own mobility, he began to search his new home. The first room he found was the bathroom. It had everything you would expect inside. He decided to take some time to look at his new body.
He fervently hoped that the System had been wrong. Please dear god, may the System be mistaken! Only to be disappointed as a cute young girl looked back at him through the mirror.
Hm, it looks very anime-ish but also very cute. She had long wavy dark purple hair. This went great with her dark purple eyes, they were absolutely mesmerizing. Although she still had a chubby face and right now looked rather innocent.
I can already tell that in my teenage years I will become a stunning beauty.
Urgh, I should not think about teenage years. Oh god, I'll get to be on the period.
She had always wanted kids of her own in her past life. But now that the logistics of that had changed quite a bit, she wasn’t so sure anymore.
I would have to give birth myself after all. For that matter I still feel more attracted to the female body. First I would need to survive so long that those issues crop up. And I am a master of procrastination, so lets shelf all those issues for the next decade or so.
Finished looking her over she continued her exploration. There was nothing interesting to find in the rooms she came across. The basement functioned as a small library, her mother earned her living as a teacher, librarian and record keeper. The only time she had seen her doing anything ninja like, was the sealing.
Hm, I’m not quite sure how much ninja training my mom had received. She should have been 10-15 years old when Uzu fell, so my guess would have been genin-chunin level skill.
Having finished the exploration of the house she put a chair under one of the windows to get a look at the village. It was a typical fishing village. If she consider everything she had been told by her mother and experienced herself, there was only one village on this island. The island itself was between the Kirigakure territory and former Uzu.
The village was in the middle of the former trade route between Kiri and Uzu so in the past it was quite prosperous. This however stopped when Uzu was destroyed. Today most of the town was empty, the nearest trade route passed them several days travel away.
System: “Tutorial two is finished. No rewards given. Starting third tutorial. Survive a dangerous situation!”
WHAT! Fuck I am only five years old how am I supposed to survive.
She was still looking outside, so she clearly saw the fireball before the sound of the explosion reached her. The aftershock knocked her of the chair. She was frozen in shock down on the floor, panic had consumed her, her mind was utterly blank.

Holy shit, ninjas are attacking the village!
“Bang” the house door crashed open.
Fuck I need to hide they are already here, no way can I out run ninjas as a five year old.
“Miyako! Where are you?” her mother’s panicked shout echoed through the house.
“Here! In the living room.” Miyako quickly answered.
Uzumaki Ren ran to her daughter, picked her up and quickly made it to the basement door.
“Listen to me Miyako! You need to hide and not make any sound at all. This is very important make no noise at all, do you understand? Otherwise the bad men will find you.”
“Yes.” she was absolutely terrified, she was beginning to shake as the reality of the situation became clear to her. She was in the Naruto-verse, murder happen all the time around here. And with the system she would probably never find peace here.
They went down into the basement, where her mother stopped in front of an unremarkable bookshelf. She then took out a dagger, pricked one of her fingers and drew a small seal with the blood. This opened a small storage compartment. The walls were lined with standard ninja weapons and a pile of what might have been explosive seals.
Uzumaki Ren took the ninja tools and seals, than pushed the dagger she had used to prick her finger into her daughters hands. ”Just in case you need to defend yourself, while I am away. You can open the seal by pressing your blood against the door for ten seconds. Don’t go out until you hear me or it’s been quiet for more than a day, ok?”
Miyako was shaking, and all she could do to answer was nod her head, still in horror at the situation she had so suddenly found herself in.
Uzumaki Ren hugged her daughter and whispered her farewell into her ears. “Mommy loves you. Be strong my little darling. I’m sure you’ll make me proud.”
Tears streamed down Miyakos face as the compartment door closed and she saw her mother for the last time.
I’ve only been with her for a minute or two and yet it feels like I have known and loved her for years.
For the first time, she cursed the memory integration. It had been a marvel to suddenly gain the memories of several years of Miyakos life. And yet the system managed to turn that marvel into a curse with only thirty minutes of tutorial.
She spent a small eternity in the room contemplating her miserable future, when she suddenly heard and felt an earth shaking explosion upstairs.
The explosive seals!
Then the seal her mother had drawn onto her started to shine brightly. It expanded all over her body and then started to change and twist, which was extremely painful. She barely managed to keep from making any noises before passing out from the pain.
