Chapter 011

I found this very very interesting. I need it!

I kept looking and found a book on history, because duh it's a lesson for this year and one a romance fiction story that honestly had a brilliant story premes, a poor farmer becomes a ninja to save his wife from a war lord! Can't say much about the author's writing quality, but hey, it's something.

I took all three books and walked to the front counter where Misa now sat smiling at me. "Did you find what you were looking for?" she asked.

I nodded slowly, "yes," I put the books on the counter, "can I take them?"

Misa smiled, "of course. I just need your parent's permission first before you can. Some of these books are very advanced and dangerous, I don't want you to get hurt," she said looking at the book about weapons.

I nodded, "that's fine and all, but I'm an orphan."

Misa blinked, "oh, well then just wait a moment, I'll ring this up for you. I don't suppose you have a library card yes?"

I shook my head, "no ma'am."

The woman smiled, "not to worry, I'll have it ready for you in an instant." She smiled before taking out a form and having me fill it up. I did so quickly and using the information she made me a small card with my name and address on it along with a particular string of numbers.

"Here you go Yami," the woman smiled putting the books into a plastic bag and handing me the library card, "no don't lose these you here? They are very important and it'll cost a lot to replace them. Do you understand?"

I nodded, "yes ma'am," I bowed a little, "thanks for helping me."

"Oh it's fine, I'm just glad there are kids today who are still so excited to be learning bright and early," she smiled.

I thanked her again before leaving the library. As I walked away I suddenly realised that the old woman was right. If I lose these books I'm finished! I don't have any cash to pay people back with!

I could hide it in my room...but that matron, she hates me. She might steal them or burn them without me seeing or something and blame someone else. Maybe even some other kid. That was she won't be implied. Damn it! I'm giving myself weaknesses.

I grumbled, if only I had some kind of storage seal that can...that's it! A storage seal! No, not a storage seal, the video game equivalent, "inventory open!"

And the moment I called it out a blue box opened before me. It had several smaller boxes inside it, rows and rows of it. I was giddy with excitement. I looked around, the streets were practically empty, but can't be too careful when dealing with ninjas.

So I snuck into an alley and went behind a garbage can and squated. I looked around, with the coast clear, I took out the books form the plastic bag and one by one pressed them against the inventory screen.

At first touch the screen applied allowing the object to slip in immediately. I watched in awe as each book took up a box all for itself. I threw away the plastic bag and smile, this could be potentially awesome!

I touched one box, selecting the book. This caused the book to come out of the screen similar to how I put it in. Fucking amazing! This way I don't have to worry about anyone stealing from me ever again!

This is so cool!

I put the book away along with my library card, can't lose that. With my hands now free I decided it was finally time to check out that mysterious symbol I saw in the park yesterday.

I ran to the place as fast as my little body could take me and reach there in ten minutes. I looked around and found the fire statute pretty easily. I looked down and there it was, that glowing leaf symbol.

I smiled as I touched it and suddenly new box popped open;

You have discovered a natural dungeon! Would you like to go inside?

Y/N

Dungeon, Lv- 1

I was torn, on the plus side a dungeon meant lot and other goodies, maybe even some cash if I'm lucky enough. But on the other hand...I might fuckign die. I had no skills, no weapons and absolutely no idea how to fight.

Yup, I can actually die. So no, not now. I might go later, but not until I have a weapon, a jutsu I can use and know how to fight.

Y/N?

I grumbled reading the failure option, an annoying little fucker aren't you? Either way, I accepted the quest.

I closed the box and left, intending to go to the academy a little early when I realised something. I forgot my damn note book! I must have left it in my bed when I went for a wash! Fuck me!

I grumbled and immediately walked back to the orphanage and found the entire building more active. I went into my room straight away and found it the same, guess the matron didn't trash it...yet.

Not willing to leave anything to chance I shut the door and began to put everything I had into my inventory. My clothes, my sandals and even my red notebook. I also put away my tooth brush, paste and spare pillow. What? Never know when you're going to need it!
