1 Naruto

"Nice to meet'cha! Uzumaki Naruto here! I'm from a certain village hidden in the leaves! I like ramen and I hate the three minutes you must wait for it!"

"Eh? A foreigner?"

"Half-American?"

"Yakuza?! Look at those scars!"

Naruto stood next to the teacher's desk, not saying anything as he waited for the teacher's instructions. He scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to do with his current situation as his future classmates started making up stories for why he looks the way he is. 'It's not like I can tell them I'm the carrier for a big nine tailed fox and had just fought in a massive war against plant people and revived shinobi right?'

The blonde laughed internally as he wore a soft smile on his face. If anyone were to pay attention they would realize that it's a bit forced, but what could he do? He was literally dropped into a new world of steel towers and wagons made from fancy metal shells! And worst of all…

He had to attend school again!

Again!

A soft sigh could be heard as the transfer student began to memorize the faces of his future classmates. His eyes stopped at two students near the front row; his head went dizzy for a second as if he had been hit by a minor genjutsu (since Kurama wasn't there to help him). As his vision slowly recovered, his eyes grew an entire centimeter as literal words intruded his peripheral.

[Rias Gremory

LV 30 ? (Disguised)

Titles: [Kind] [Weeaboo] [Manipulative(?)] [Princess of Destruction] [One of Kuoh Academy's Two Great Ladies] [Next Head of the Gremory Clan] [Gremory of the 72 Pillars] [Wielder of the Power of Destruction] [Pure-Blooded Devil] ]

'Mother of Sage of Six Paths…' The transfer student from another world could feel his whole body start to itch as he couldn't even begin to describe the sudden phenomenon happening to him.

'The next time I see you Kaguya, I'm going to Oda—'

"Uzumaki-kun, why don't you… hmm… sit next to the open seat by Gremory-san over there."

The soft-spoken words of his teacher interrupted his threat as she pointed at the crimson hair young woman with smooth white skin and beautiful blue eyes. She wore what many other female students wore, the female version of the Kuoh Academy's uniform that consists of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt and a black ribbon on the collar that paired well with the black shoulder cape. He wore the male uniform that had magically appeared in the closet when he was exploring his new 'home' in this weird world.

'At least the milk hadn't expired!'

He cringed as he remembered that day when he henge'd into Sasuke and was about to kiss a girl for the first time. The fridge and the shelves of his new home were rather amazing! It had all types of ramens—that he never knew even existed! Like curry, grape, matcha, strawberry, wasabi, chocolate, lemon, sa…

"Uzumaki-kun?" The teacher asked as she couldn't help but worry about the transfer student whose mind is clearly in a different location.

"O-oh right, sorry." He quickly replied, walking next to the girl with rather questionable titles such as [Princess of Destruction] and [Weeaboo].

The short blonde teacher, as if a lightbulb went alight on top of her head, quickly waved her hand to the class to get their attention.

"Uzumaki-kun must be going through jetlag, so please don't nag him much okay?"

Naruto had no idea what 'jetlag' is, but he knew that the teacher was helping him, so he gave her a soft smile as he sat down next to the [Next Head of the Gremory Clan]. However, as he sat down, he suddenly felt the glares of many students behind him. It wasn't killing intent, but it contained all sorts of negative emotions like… jealously, envy, hate, and the like. He glanced at the girl who possessed the [One of Kuoh Academy's Two Great Ladies]to his right and couldn't help but feel nostalgic for some odd reason.

'Wait! It's like when I went up to Sasuke during the Academy Genin exams! It's exactly like those girls who were staring me down when I wanted to beat him up!'

The 166 cm tall student stood up immediately and looked at the teacher, asking softly.

"Can I sit in the back? The sunlight is too strong!" Naruto lied as he tried to get away from the girl with the ominous title of [Wielder of the Power of Destruction].

"Sorry, I should've known. Pick any seat that you want Uzumaki-kun!" The teacher replied quickly, worry planted all over her face.

Naruto gave the crimson haired girl another glance, only to realize that she was staring at him with shock. To avoid the awkwardness of their eyes meeting, he quickly hastened his steps to the back row. As he sat down, he planted his upper torso onto the desk.

'If only I still had chakra…' Naruto said to himself. To him and the rest of the shinobi, chakra was a necessity like water, it's something they've always had, but now that he had lost it, he has no idea what to do. On top of being dropped in a new place in a new society, well, he has no idea what to do.

'I just need to find a way to get it and then go back home!' His optimism was unwavering as hope came back into his eyes.

Before he could do anything, a soft voice appeared in his head.

[The system has reset your chakra to 0 to prevent the world from destabilizing due to the would-be influx of chakra. However, as you contribute to the world through various means, you'll be able to once again wield your chakra.]

"Eh?!" Naruto jumped up from his seat as he had no idea where the voice came from.

"Uzumaki-kun?!"

"Sorry, jetlag, haha…" Naruto laughed as he made up an excuse.

"Would you like to go to the nurse? I can have someone bring you there if you want! I understand it must be hard for you to come to school immediately after the plane!" The teacher offered, her face full of anxiousness.

"N-no, it's fine sensei, I'll try and stay quiet dattebayo." He covered his mouth in surprise as he accidentally let out his verbal tic.

"If you ever need help, just raise your hand okay? I won't be angry or anything! Don't be worried okay? I know how you feel because I'm from another country too!" The teacher replied.

[The system is within the Host's mind, much like the Host's previous inhabitant.]

'Is Kurama okay?!' Naruto asked the system as he sat back down, he's been worried ever since he came to this world. His partner hasn't even replied—but thankfully his ability to sense negative emotions had remained.

[ [Kurama] is currently in stasis. He is under the [Companion] section that has yet to be unlocked. He is not in any danger; it is as if time has stopped for him, so there is no need to worry. If you exchange for his freedom through the rewards given by fulfilling quests and the like, he will be back.]

It was as if a massive burden had been lifted from his shoulder, kind of like when he learned that Iruka-sensei had canceled the history exam on the founding of Konoha—It wasn't like he had slept through his class or anything though, he had… properly studied the facial structures of the previous Hokages!

'So, what's this quest thing? And how did you get into my head?'

[Quests will appear when the Host is confronted with a problem, whether it be directly or indirectly, or if the system deemed it necessary for the Host's progression. As for how the Host received the system, the system cannot answer. The system apologizes for any inconveniences that it may have caused to the Host.]

'I didn't mean it like that! I'm sorry as well!' Naruto apologized as he felt as if he had done something wrong.

[A new quest has been added to the quest log.]

[Quest: Witness the 'supernatural' within the week.]

[Reward: Chakra unlocked (Genin).]
