Elementary

I hate this.

Aqua appears to be enjoying his life now, but honestly, I can't stand it. From kindergarten to elementary school, I still can't deal with these snotty brats on my own.

"Ame-chan!! You're drawing it wrong!" What does it matter if I use crayon instead of colour pencil? I need to stay calm; after all, they are just children.

Yes... They're just children.

"AHKK!?" When my Magic Perception momentarily faltered, I felt a sudden yank on my hair. I had tied it into a ponytail, and a boy sitting behind me had pulled it forcefully.

"Hey, Ame! Why did you tie your hair like that? Wouldn't it be better to cut it? It looks so useless!" I shot the boy a death glare, but they couldn't see how I was suppressing my anger and the intense aura of frustration I was radiating. If only they were a bit older, they might have sensed the murderous aura I was trying to control.

In a commanding voice, Ruby intervenes, "You there!!! What do you think you're doing to my sister!!!"

"Gyaak!!? It's Ruby! Run!!" she scare the bullies away--- though calling them bullies would be giving them too much credit.

"Thanks, I guess..." I could've kill-- I mean, solve the problem myself, but I thank Ruby shortly.

"Fufufu! No need to worry! Leave it all to Onee-chan!" she declared, her confidence exuding a sense of assurance. She seems to have claim herself as the older sister just because I called Aqua "Nii-san".

As a mature Ex-Veteran, I'm not really bothered by this incident; I didn't find it to be of much importance. Arguing is too childish.

"Ame-chan~! Let's play something with us!" A group of girls approaches, one of them exclaimed those words, seemingly eager to invite me to play together.

Uwa... Let lunch time be over already...

As the bell rang, we bowed to the teacher, and today's school was over. Ruby, Aqua, and I walked home together, and Aqua was the first one to ask, "Are you okay?"

"You can tell anything to Onee-chan, you know!? Are you okay, Ame-chan?" Ruby chimed in. "No... It's nothing." Despite the despair look on my face, I reassured her that I'm okay.

Sure, it was fun surprising any adults by knowing algebra as I am an adult in a kid's body, but dealing with a bunch of snotty brats is always so tiring. After arriving home, my smartphone vibrated, and I picked it up to discover that Riko had sent a message in the group chat.

[Star Plasma Vessel: Ame-saaan! Riko showed this chat group thing to Kuroi, but she said she see nothing on Riko's screen!!]

I should've guessed she will show it to anyone... I responded shortly,

[Ex-Veteran: Riko-chan, that's normal. Everyone else can see other features, but the chat group is protected from anyone except you, you're the only one that can see it.]

If anyone were to see me opening the group chat, all they would see is a blank white screen - or at least that's what Aqua told me.

Now... There's only two people in the group, obviously we need more, but honestly... There was one notif that caught my attention.

[Additional information: The quest will be assigned after the server reaches the minimum number of participants. (2/4)]

Just two more members... Once we have them, I might unlock some dimension-traveling mission stuff that always happens in fanfiction.

But here's the problem: I am just a five years old girl. And I can't purchase guns in this form nor illegally purchased one, I won't be able to trust the dealer to not harm my current family.

And if I do desire to kill my father... I will need more strength.

In this situation, I am looking for a new companion who can share their skills with me. Just one person would be enough.

While I can purchase four additional pieces of world information, I only need one member. Someone strong and kind enough to engage in skill exchange with me.

[Wellcome to the marketplace, You currently have 400 Fiction Points]

[Would you like to buy "Naruto"?]

*Ding*

[You have obtained "Naruto&NarutoShippuden.Zip"]

[You can invite a person randomly from the Naruto World.]

[Would you like to begin random invite?]

Please let it be anyone I can reason with...

Yes!

["Copy Ninja" has joined the server]

F*ck!

...

[Star Plasma Vessel: Welcome~!!]

Copy Ninja, or commonly known as Kakashi Hatake. His unparalleled skills earned him the title of the "Copy Ninja," having mastered over a thousand techniques through the extraordinary power of the Sharingan. I was anticipating the protagonist (Naruto) or any other character that's more approachable, but this might not be suitable.

But nevertheless... This is all I got,

*Ding*

[Ex-Veteran (Admin): Hello Copy Ninja-san, please tap on the screen using your fingers. You may tap on the message bar to respond. I would like to explain this formally if I may have your attention?]

He's probably wary more than confused, after all... he came from a Shinobi world, not only this kind of technology didn't exist in his world, if I were to immediately call his name he'd thing it's a trap.

Then after a few minutes the copy ninja finally responded...

[Copy Ninja: Apologies for the delayed reply. I figured how this device work, and has currently figured out how to communicate with you. Do please explain, I am all ears.]

A calm response beneath the confusion. Indeed, no one knows exactly what kind of face you actually make when you messages through texts.

(A/N: we're not doing GURARARA or stuttering via texts. That's just weird...)
