Observe

The reflection in the mirror is vaguely familiar.

Although I have the memories of little Kuro, it is not the same as seeing him in the mirror, only a few inches away.

I am 116 cm tall, have white skin and a round face.

Black hair, a long lock falls to my nose while two smaller ones are in my eyes; but not enough to be a bother.

Round eyes of light blue color, with fine pupils in a vertical line. Like a cat. Although, as I review my memories, I see that before I was reborn I did not have these eyes.

I can only assume that it is due to the [Mystic Eyes] skill.

Anyway, I know who this appearance belongs to.

Yato Noragami, from the Noragami manga.

'Well, a child version of Yato… I wonder if I should start wearing a kimono.'

With those thoughts, I step into the shower.

I am currently sitting at the head of the table, eating my breakfast.

It is a simple dish; milk, bacon and fried eggs. My experience in the kitchen is quite scarce.

Speaking of cooking; there is something that moved me a lot.

[Cooking (Passive) Lvl: 1

Increase the quality of cooked food.]

I gained this skill after finishing cooking breakfast.

Since the skill says "Quality", leaving aside the taste, it is possible that in the future the food will grant some special benefit.

It also means that by repeating a certain action, I will be able to obtain a related ability.

With this and [Mystic Eyes], I will be able to significantly increase my stats before entering the Academy.

At the very least, I want to be at the level of the children who come from the clans.

Finishing eating and washing dishes, I check the time.

07:10 a.m

Picking up some money and with slight anticipation, I head to the exit.

I am sure that seeing Konoha in my memories or through a screen will not be the same as doing it personally.

However, the moment I leave my house, something catches my attention.

[Ding!]

[Quest Alert!

Name: Explore Konoha.

Description: Personally explore the Konoha Village.

Rewards: +50 EXP, [Observe] Skill.

Failure: None.

Accept? Y / N]

'No consequences for failing… Isn't this practically a gift?' I thought, before accepting the mission.

My home is between the Aburame Clan and the Uchiha Clan, but not on the main road.

At the back of the house there is a medium sized garden, it can be reached using the paths on the sides of the house.

The grass is neatly cut and there are some flowers here and there. The most remarkable thing is the tree that grows in the center.

I guess I'll go now.

.

.

.

It's been about 2 hours since I left home. The mission is not complete yet, but I did get some cool stuff.

[Stealth (Active) Lvl: 1

Allows the user to avoid low-level detection skills.

Slightly decreased sound when moving.

Slightly diminished presence.

The ability is canceled when inflicting or taking damage.]

While exploring the village I saw a cat and I remembered the moment when I gained the cooking skill.

After making sure that no one was in sight, I slipped away as quietly as possible to catch the cat, and when the cat was in my hands, I received the ability.

I tried to check if the continued use of a skill would be enough to increase the level, or if special conditions are needed.

Fortunately, it is possible to farm levels. However, special situations give even more experience.

For example, it took me a few minutes to raise the skill to level 2 just by walking normally.

On the other hand, it took much less time to get to level 3.

It happened while I was following three boys. After hearing the word "Jutsu" and seeing the smug face of one of them, I could guess what they were going to do.

It was there that I got my first 2 Jutsus, thanks to the academy student, who was showing off to his friends in an alley.

[Henge no Jutsu - Lvl: 1

Allows the user to transform into another person, animal or object.

Hand seals: 3

Cost: 12 CP per second]

[Bunshin no Jutsu - Lvl: 1

Allows the user to create illusory clones of himself.

Hand seals: 3

Cost: 7 CP]

When I saw that student make the hand seals, it was as if I instinctively understood the purpose and how the Chakra should move for it to work.

It felt like muscle memory, but chakra and mind oriented.

Anyway, even if I can hold Henge for 25 seconds, due to my poor Chakra Control even the lowest of Genin could discover me.

Another 2 hours have passed. I have already visited most of the iconic places in the series, at least the ones I can remember.

Right now, I turn to Ichiraku Ramen.

For two reasons;

First, because I have not visited this place yet, not even Little Kuro did.

And second, a simpler reason; I come to eat.

Although I don't need to eat thanks to the player's body, I'm still curious about the famous ramen they serve here.

When I enter the premises, there is only one civilian eating.

I ignore him and sit in the middle seat.

The moment my butt touches the stool, I get a notification.

[Ding!]

[Quest Complete!

Name: Explore Konoha.

Description: Personally explore the Konoha Village.

Rewards: +50 EXP, [Observe] Skill.

Failure: None.]

[Ding!]

[Level Up!]

[[Observe] Skill earned!]

[Ding!]

[Due to the host's extensive knowledge of this world and its inhabitants, the [Observe] skill has been raised to the maximum level!]

[Observe (Active) Lvl: MAX

Allows the user to read the information of an object or a person through observation.]

I was pleasantly surprised when I finished reading the notifications.

I was about to check my condition when I saw a man, whom I recognized as Teuchi, come my way.

"Sorry, little one. I was doing some things back there. Did I make you wait long?" Teuchi asked while rubbing the back of his head.

"No, sir, I just got here." Shaking my head slightly, I replied.

"Haha! What a polite young man, however, since you will be eating here, you don't need to be so formal; my name is Teuchi, feel free to use it." Teuchi said with a short laugh and his characteristic friendly face.

"So, Teuchi-san. My name is Kuro." I introduce myself with a small smile.

"Alright, what can I get you Kuro-kun?"

Glancing at the menu, which is posted on the wall, I replied.

"Miso Ramen, please."

Nodding his head, Teuchi began to cook.

'I wonder if the rumors are true ...' Glancing at the smiling cook, I use [Observe.]

[Teuchi 

Age: 37

CP: 10/10

Strength: 4 

Vitality: 5

Dexterity: 5

Intelligence: 5]

Well, just rumors.

Still this is quite interesting.

The lack of level could be due to the fact that he is a civilian or that I have it thanks to the system. Same with HP.

As for the low CP, I'm sure it's due to his civil status, the lack of the Chakra and Chakra Control stat only reinforces my assumption.

Unfortunately, the other civilian who was eating left while I was talking to Teuchi, so I'll have to wait to verify everything.
