Chapter 2: Quest

I continued to stare at the words above the caretakers head. She began to look very weird waving her hand in front of my face. "Light? earth to light. What's wrong? are you not feeling well?"

I rapidly blinked my eyes, "N-no, I'm fine, I'm fine, I just... I just had a dream of the past" I didn't know what else I should say. I don't think it's normal for people to see words floating above peoples head like this. or was it? awww damn it, all these questions again, can't I just go back to sleep?

"Well get up and get ready, breakfast will be ready in a minute" she gave me a warm smile and walked out leaving me alone.

I quickly changed out of my clothes and picked up a new set from the corner of the room.

As soon as I opened the door I saw children running past my door screaming something about getting to the food first. Calling them children felt a little off as some of them were bigger than me. However, almost of them showed their power level as civilian with the exception of a few that said Genin-Low. I guess that you need to go through low, intermediate and high levels before passing on to the next.

'This just didn't make sense, can no one tell me what is happening? how did I die? how is any of this happening?'

Even though I have all these questions I somehow still feel calm. Guess that makes a kind of sense, with all the game stuff I have seen its likely that even with my basic system I still have some kind of passive ability to keep my calm and collected.

I ran in the same direction as the other kids and heard one of them shout towards me, "Come on Light eat up, quickly, you don't want to miss the chance to join the Academy again do you?"

I blinked at the quested box that had appeared before me. 'Okay, sound reasonable enough, if I can join the academy I can get stronger quickly.' What stood out to me more than anything else was what that kid had shouted at me. 'you don't want to miss the chance to join the Academy again do you?' Looking back on my memories I had tried to enter the academy before but was turned away without being told why, I didn't even ask. How much of a idiot was I before?

Not much else I can do for now. I pressed the yes option and the screen vanished.

I stuffed as much food in my mouth as I could and ate what I could. I felt my arm get pulled by a young boy with brown hair shouting "Let's go" I ran as he pulled me along. We arrived at the showers of the orphanage and thankful it was empty. "Quickly we don't have much time"

I quickly stripped out of my clothes and jumped to the shower washing myself down as quickly as I could. Rushing as much as I could before stopping in front of a mirror. It was the first proper look at myself since I can to this world. I had black hair and eyes, my hair was shoulder length and spiky, it also felt rather thick, hopefully that means I won't go bald at least. I looked rather skinny but I was still healthy. If my hair was a bit shorter I would say I looked similar to Madara's brother, Izuna.

"What are you doing? move, move come on" the brown haired boy sounded annoyed and he was pushing a towel in to my arms. I quickly dried myself off and put my clothes back on and followed the kids to a group by the door, half of them looked excited and the other half nervous.

"What do you think we will have to do?"

"No Idea"

"I heard they only take about five people from the orphanage a year"

"No way is that true"

"Well if it is, then it will obviously be me"

I listed to each of them as we waited to set off, to be honest it sounded wrong from what I remember of the Anime, as long as someone was willing to work hard they should be allowed to join the academy.

'Come to think of it what time period are we in? Will Naruto be in my class? Kakashi?' I tried to look at my memories to see if I had any clues, however, after I lost my parents, it seems that I didn't pay attention to anything or anyone, all the time with my parents did hold any clues either, it was like I had taken control of an NPC who had hardly done anything his whole life.

I guess that would also explain all of my stats being at civilian level as well. I wonder if they are still the same as what I was shown?

"Menu" I quietly whispered so the others wouldn't hear me. As soon as I did a light blue box popped up showing me the same details I was given in the void.

[Light (No Title)

Body - Civilian

Chakra - Civilian

Bound Weapon - (Locked until Chakra reaches Genin level)

Elements - Fire 20% - Water 30% - Earth 30% - Wind 0% - Lightning 0% - Yin 0% - Yang 0%

Control - 20%

Allegiance - Self/Hidden Leaf]

Yep, I'm weak, obviously this body hasn't been trained and my chakra hasn't been awakened yet. That's the first thing I would need to rectify, but how do I awaken my chakra?

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a kid pushing me out the door screaming "Let's go"
