Plan

Torrents of information flooded her mind. Not limited to just combat-orientated information either. Math, language, geography, and even Ikebana. (Flower arrangement) "Why the hell does a ninja need Ikebana?"

Although she knows the way to make a great flower arrangement she started to focus on the combat knowledge. For some reason, it was like an audiobook. If she thought of a subject about the information it would be read out to her. Like when she thought of the correct way to throw a kunai. The voice would outline the steps one by one and also add notes on things that they learned are easier than the outlined steps. It felt like she was at a seminar.

"System is there a way to do this without the voice?" Marie was concerned that she would be hearing a voice in her head all day. She gets distracted a lot and ends up thinking of random things. It would be funny to randomly be read the best way to build ninja traps but it would get annoying fast.

"All you have to do is ask and the information will turn into a virtual textbook. After that, what you have to do is close your eyes and imagine the subject you want and it will show up. I do recommend the voice as a whole though. While the textbook version comes with pictures and examples the voice provides feedback and personal discovery. The information is not something they wrote down its everything they thought on the subject. Even a small change such as a better way to hold a kunai. Mind you the voice is a random genin that scored very well in the academy and during fieldwork once they became a genin. Very reputable information."

Doing as the system said the book showed up in her mind. "Pictures and examples indeed these are great!" It's one thing to hear how to properly do something but to be able to see it really clears up what she had doubts about.

Marie could not believe this information is everything a genin is supposed to know. 'Now I know what Naruto was skipping out on class this is hard material for a small child. It's scary that there are little kids who can kill you super fast and can also out math some high schoolers.'

"Can I buy material things from the system?" She asked the system. At the moment she only has the clothes on her back.

"Yes, but there are rules. If you want me to make you something say a sword. It will be more money if you just ask for the sword but if you bring me the materials for the sword it becomes cheaper. The more processed the iron affects the price as well. If you bring me raw iron it is less expensive but still pretty up there. Now If you bring me an ingot of steel it will be much cheaper. Very simple. As a side note, the system will not make mythical items so don't be too greedy."

'That's a bummer.' She was not thinking of any cool weapons from anime or anything but the system already shot down the idea and that was a little depressing. She felt like being shown something cool and being told she could never have it.

"OK, show me the price of an ax." She asked.

"Common steel ax priced at 4,000 Ryo."

Thinking on her feet Marie grabbed a good size branch nearby and a hefty rock."How about a rock ax?"

"Looking at the materials you supplied I would say 20 Ryo. As a tip, if you add your hair to the bundle it will be free."

Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth she accepted."Yes, do it." Even if she loved long hair giving some up for a useful tool is better than her appearance.

With a gross bubbling sound, all the materials started to melt together. A good amount of hair fell off to join the mess of goo. Feeling her head to make sure it did not leave a bald spot she sighed in relief."Even though I doubt you left me looking good I appreciate not making me bald."

"Your welcome." The system said.

After a minute of bubbling a stone ax in all its beauty could be seen. A now fan-like rock was bound with her hair to a well-sanded handle. It looked something akin to what you could find in a prehistoric museum. 'This is heavy for an ax.' Giving it a few swings brought her back to the situation she was in. Still in the middle of the forest. "By the way system where am I?"

"A forest." Said the system in an almost bored tone.

"You know what I mean system cant you provide me with a map?" Maire was trying to be a little cheeky. She was hoping the system would give her free information.

"Unfortunately God did not provide this system with any map function."

Marie did not believe that at all but the system clearly would not tell her. She can deduce from the fact that she is a citizen of the land of fire that she is probably somewhere in the land of fire. Unless this body was traveling and got lost. "What can you tell me about this body you found me system?"

"Seven years old, forty-two pounds, 121.76 cms tall, and high chakra for your age." said the system.

"That is it? No personal information?" Marie was a bit annoyed.

"Not important enough for the system."

'Not important? This system likes to mess with people.' "Don't be like this system you and I both know that is very important information."

"......"

For five minutes Marie waited for the system to respond. 'Giving me the silent treatment? What am I dealing with a child? "System hello, answer me." Waiting another five minutes she figured it would not talk further on the subject.

"Whatever ever let's focus on what I need to do. A plan, I need to plan this out. Given that no village will accept me I need to find a source of income.' Thinking of all the possibilities she realized there were only a few legitimate jobs she could do. 'It is kinda just one path I can take then, it has to be a bounty hunter. I could maybe join a Daimyō personal force but at my current skill, I would probably become a maid at most. Plus it would limit who I could gain skills from.' (Daimyō: just a king or leader of a country.)

'For now, let's try and get out of this forest.' Even though that was the plan for the time being. The position of the sun suggested that it would be nighttime sooner than later. That meant moving in the dark, not a smart move in the forest. Going off knowledge she has on hand from her last life and from the genin information she needed to get a shelter and fire going.

---------------------------------------

With an hour's worth of work, she managed to get a small fire pit and lean two set up. 'Whew, that ax really got some use.' Wiping the sweat off her brow even that little bit of work tired her body out. 'Ok, now is the hard part. The fire, even Tom Hanks could not do this on his first try.' Marie was quite nervous.

"oo o oo oo oo small blows small blows yes, yes, yes, fucking finally!!" Screaming Marie. she was excited beyond belief. Starting a fire with a lighter and no starter is hard. Imagine trying it with just two sticks.

Using even more energy Marie was exhausted. She did not even have the energy to find something to eat even if she now felt like she was starving. Adding enough wood to keep her fire going she laid down on the hard ground. Marie had no problem falling asleep. Adding the physical work to the mental stress only helped tire her out.
