Ambush

Ding! "Novice pack gifted"

Out of nowhere a set of clothes, a katana and a straw hat fell to the ground. The clothes and the straw hat were very simple, it was how a farmer would dress. "it's better than nothing, let's put these clothes on for now."

Putting the clothes on, Kentaro armed himself with his brand new katana. He did not search for valuables on the corpses of the death shinobis, he left them like that.

After walking for thirty minutes the system gave another notification.

Ding! "You have now unlocked the system shop, to buy things in the system shop you will need points. To earn points, accomplish the following missions."

Ding! " Kill one enemy: one thousand points

Kill ten enemies: ten thousand points

Kill one hundred enemies: fifty thousand points"

"I understand, so if I kill one enemy, I get one thousand points and for every ten I kill, I get ten thousand points and for every hundred I get fifty thousand points"

Ding! "+three thousand points"

He received those points because he had killed the three shinobis.

Kentaro had to know where he specifically was before continuing his road. "System shop" after having said it in his mind, a panel appeard before his eyes.

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

SYSTEM SHOP. POINTS: 3000

World map: 1000 points

.....

.....

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

Kentaro didn't look any further in the system shop after his eyes met with the world map.

"Buy world map"

Two thousand points remained, but at least he would know where he is at the moment, a new panel appeared and it seemed to be the map.

Kentaro was momentarily in the future land of grass, Near the future land of fire. In this period, clans of shinobi were hired by little countries to wage war and make them gain influence and riches.

"I must survive, I must feed myself, I will try to find a lord who hires mercenaries." This was the only path for Kentaro right now.

The map showed that one kilometer from him was a village, maybe he could gather some information there about the lords recruiting mercenaries.

Kentaro walked for twenty minutes, only grass could be seen and nothing else. What a boring place this was. not far away, he could finally see it, Hayakama village.

People there normally don't care if travelers come in the village, but when one is armed with a katana is a different story.

"Stop there! Why are you armed with a katana?!" the guards had finally made their appearance. Kentaro stopped, looked towards the voice, it was a young man accompanied by five other guards.

They were filled with scars, they exuded a menacing aura. The young man was the leader. Walking to Kentaro, he proceeded to grab his arm.

"Let go of my arm" looking very seriously into the young man's eyes, Kentaro did not fear him nor did he fear the others. He had to show what he was made of in this man eat dog world.

Letting slowly go of the arm, the young man took one step back. "What is your purpose in coming to the village?"

"I am a mercanary, I am currently looking for work. Are you perhaps working for a lord that is looking for more men?"

The young man and the other guards now understood why he had a katana. "are you capable of manipulating your Chakra? If not, it will prove difficult to find a lord that will be willing to hire you."

Manipulating his Chakra, he had no idea how to do it. The system made him choose a Chakra nature. So, naturally he must be able to manipulate it.

"Yes, I can manipulate my Chakra." well technically he couldn't but now was not the time to tell the truth, it was the time to lie.

"Very good, I will hand you a document. You must take good care of it and hand it down to the lord. He resides five kilometers north from Hayakama village. If they do not let you enter just show them this document. I hope to have helped you."

"Thank you very much. I am ashamed to ask this, but, would it be possible to lend a horse from the village. Once I am hired, I will immediately return the horse."

"We will not lend you a horse but we will give you one. The horse is old but he can still run."

'An old horse huh, well asking for more would be disrespectful' thought kentaro. Now he had to travel five kilometers, hoping that the old horse would not die from fatigue.

Recuperating the horse, Kentaro bade farewell to the guards and went on on his way, to meet the lord.

The horse galloped for five minutes and was then completely exhausted, this was not good. Kentaro was in a hurry.

"Come on horse, get moving. When we reach the forest, there, then I will let you rest, okay?"

Talking to the horse, it's not like it understood what kentaro was saying.

After what seemed to be an eternity, they had finally reached the forest. Kentaro unmounted the horse. He had to take a piss.

Walking to a nearby tree, he began peeing. What he had not seen was that a group of bandits were observing him from afar and they were disturbed by what they saw.

Whispering to his brother that was beside him, the bandit expressed his feelings. "Brother, what is this monster?"

Yes, the monster was Kentaro's donger. It struck fear in the hearts of the bandits. They hesitated to attack him. But now they couldn't turn back, they had to attack!

Returning besides the old horse, Kentaro mounted him and signaled him to advance.

Five seconds passed and four arrows pierced through the horse's body.

The horse was killed instantly, collapsing on the ground while Kentaro was still on him. The fall was hard and sudden, Kentaro hurt his head.

Standing up and wiping the blood that was flowing out of the cut from his head, Kentaro unsheated his katana and prepared to defend himself.

"Come and face me, cowards!"
