Chapter 7

And so, walking down the street after another training session, I decided to take a short cut through the park. And passing by a small clearing, I heard some kind of fuss on the other side of the bushes. Needless to say, the system responded instantly?

Task received.

"Novice Lifeguard"

You have heard strange sounds from the bushes. There is, of course, the option that a new ninja is being born there, but the shinobi of this world are still not so frostbitten as to do this in the park. So there is a chance that someone out there got into trouble. Save the poor fellow, raise your reputation in the eyes of other residents!

Execution conditions: help the victim.

Reward: +200 experience, increased reputation with the rescued victim, system debugging to a new version in the form of a bonus to your karma.

Failure / Refusal Penalty: Downgrade reputation with all Konohagakure factions by 2000.

Accept the assignment?

Not really.

This is chantage! Okay, I don't want to find out what the factions, which are not very kind to me, will do to me with an even greater decrease in relations. In addition, with such a decrease, even those who are neutral will not remain with me! So we accept and go to clean the faces of all adversaries. Like, should I meet Hinata there? She's not my type, but it'll do too.

I carefully crawl through the bushes, and ... I even wanted to shout "Where is Hinata?", The picture that was opening was so different from my imagination and perspectives. Quite recognizable little Sasuke wholeheartedly beat Kiba Inuzuku, who was hardly recognized in his childhood form! In fact, if it hadn't been for the clue with the name, I wouldn't have known! As a child, he did not have animal features, and he was somewhat different from himself in the manga and anime. And he has not yet received these marks on their face either. So what's real, if not for the nameplate and the half life indicator ... stop, half? We'll have to intervene, although we did not want to turn Sasuke against himself, but the offset of this task is more important. Eh, it will be doubly offensive if Kiba gets to work!

- Hey, goggle-eyed, leave him alone. - "Boldly" coming out of the bushes, I declare loudly.

- Go where you went. - Menacingly, as he thought, looking at me, said the young Uchiha. For what he immediately got in the face from Kiba, and there is nothing to be distracted, dear!

True, Kiba did not develop the success, and while the enemy was disoriented, nodding to me, the future dog breeder rushed to hell. I thought he had better fighting instincts. But in some ways he is damn right.

U-turn and beautiful (and quick) departure into the sunset. For to communicate with the heir of a still strong clan is more expensive for yourself! I'll be extreme and go out. Now it's a clan showdown, and I didn't touch anyone, I just gave my voice successfully, but there's nothing to accuse me of! But at least once I smack Sasuke, and everything will become much more serious and worse for one orphan.

So, moving further away, I almost bumped into Kiba, who was leaning against a tree. Hmm, and Sasuke has a blow, so to shake Inuzuku.

- Did I see him? - lifting his head up and trying to control the bleeding from the nose, asked Kiba.

- Yes, just fine, like a textbook! - I supported him. So much for the difference between just children, that after this they would not go anywhere, and stupidly sobbed on the spot, and a clan child.

- Hah, and you're funny! My name is Kiba, what about you? - once again looked at me a little more intently and ... the dog lover sniffed the air.

And at the same time, I received a notification of the completion of the task!

Quest completed, congratulations!

At the end of the mission, you have acquired a new pet ... friend!

Relationship with Inuzuka Kiba +3000 (friendship).

Relationship with the Inuzuka clan +300.

Relationship with Uchiha Sasuke is 250.

Gained 200 experience.

New assignment received!

"Transporting a wounded soldier".

Help your new friend get to the clan block.

Conditions for fulfilling: reach the entrance to the Inuzuka clan territory by the end of the day.

Time remaining: 6:34:59.

Reward: +150 experience, improved relations with the first friend and his clan, the ability to subsequently visit the territory of the Inuzuka clan without consequences. Opening of three chains of events with the Inuzuka clan. Improving relations with the faction of ordinary residents of Konohagure.

Refusal / Failure Penalty: Decrease reputation with the Inuzuka clan and lose several relationship points with your first friend. Variationally.

Accept?

Not really.

I do not care, I accept! Free experience is our everything. Moreover, to the level of only sixty mosquitoes for me ... only units are left, I wanted to say! And finally, to introduce at least one clan into friendly relations and strengthen the connection with the heir to the clan sounds just fine.

- And me - Uzumaki Naruto! - I proudly introduced myself.

- And let me help you get home, - and seeing how the child decided to show his independence and coolness in his understanding, he decided to push it, - you can do it yourself, but suddenly this Uchiha again decides to continue what he started, and even the clan members will call ? They are like that, these Uchiha, but together it will be more handy!

Ignore gaining the Speech skill and raising the whole level of the Naruto Therapy skill! I don't have brains to anyone, and I'm not lying, I just exaggerate and admit in general everything in this life that broke me off for my first love, but betrayed my first friend.

- Come on, it's really easier together. "It's really easy to convince children of something, I've already started to forget it, in my unsociability.

Only, despite my statement, I almost had to drag Kiba on me to the clan. How did he even manage to escape from that glade? But the message about raising relations by +5 surfaced twice per way. My friendly gesture was fully appreciated.

And at the gate, passing Kiba to a huge one-eyed dog, if I remember correctly, his mother's ninken, and trying not to look at the pale guy, who clearly has that headwash at home, I sailed off, reading such beautiful lines, stating that, in addition to experience, for completing the assignment , everything that was offered and +200 reputation with both Kiba and his clan also dripped from above. Although it was a bit difficult to make it before sunset, my stamina was not the same, it was a long way to drag, and Kiba was heavy! But nothing, I did it.

But the quest chains bothered me. The first - Friendship with the Clan, looked fine, and was the only one available so far. The second was a little annoying - Training of young Hounds. But I really lacked the levels and performance requirements for it, and it was still closed. But the third was frightening!

The Taming of the Lonely She-Wolf (closed until the player's body is sixteen years old).

So how should I react to this? No, I remember the mission for one rabbit, and I understand that the system will somehow try to train me in all directions, with its quests ... but I'm not even so afraid of Tsunade as Inuzuku Tsume!

In general, I walked back in a state of quiet shock and unwillingness to grow up! No, everything, of course, can change three hundred times, but still such a future scares me.

Somehow, imperceptibly, I entered the same park again, and heard a rustle from the same bushes. Damn, well, this is some kind of fate! And confirming my thoughts, I received exactly the same quest as three hours ago, but with the number two! Looking ahead, I will say that soon I will start bypassing this park by the tenth road!

... and curse the Naruto therapy skill!
