Journey of Desires

Konoha

April 29

60th year since the foundation of Konoha

An apartment in a building allocated specifically for the residence of the orphan Naruko Uzumaki

A twelve-year-old girl with blond hair, blue eyes and scars stripes on her cheeks lay on her bed and looked at the ceiling. This pose had already become a daily tradition for her, this girl is not just a female version of the main character, but also reincarnated like the already known to us Ban and Kiliya.

She lies and looks at the ceiling every day asking the same questions:

"Why was I reborn?"

"Why in this world?"

"Why and who gave me the system?"

"Is it possible to end all this?"

Naruko does not want to risk her life in various fights and wars, but simply refusing to be a Shinobi is extremely dangerous for her, not only is there a possibility of kidnapping a weak Jinchuriki, but she also knows about Danzo and the potential advantage he can get by taking the Jinchuriki for himself. But this is not the main thing, the main thing is that being weak, our Naruko will simply die at the hands of Nagato or someone from Akatsuki, when they need the nine-tailed, escaping from the battle in her situation means guaranteed death within the next 4 years. And she wants to live, even despite the situation around her, she really wants to!

That's why she has been mentally storming for the last year. Regarding the above-mentioned system, she got the most classic of all possible, except that there are no barriers to pumping. But otherwise, it has the functions of displaying statistics of itself and other people, an inventory of 20 cells up to 2 cubic meters, displaying skills, affinity with the elements, as well as a system store in which she can buy anything in exchange for points received for some unique actions, for example, defeating strong opponents, or receiving a new ninja title. In general, the thing is quite useful, but it is impossible to call it incredibly dishonest.

Now Naruko is already in her last year of study at the Shinobi Academy, and graduation will be next year, namely March 21. By that time, she is already planning to reach the level of a good chunin, and this is without using the shadow cloning technique, which is incredibly useful and strong for her in potential. Maybe if she received the system not a year ago, but in early childhood, she would already be a strong chunin now, but what is not, is not.

- Okay! It's time to go to the academy, I hope there is something left to eat at home.

Looking into the refrigerator, her hopes were justified, there was some chopped fish meat left that she caught 2 days ago, since she was constantly short of money, she decided to save by getting food from hunting. After having a snack, she put on an orange jumpsuit, not that she liked it, but this was the only clothing she had, and she received it as a gift from the Hokage. Finally, looking at her status, she went to the academy.

The training went as usual, talk to Hinata, quarrel with Sakura, get a couple of good grades. In general, nothing unusual except for the end of the day, usually Naruto goes hunting or fishing once every 3 days, to replenish her food supplies, but today when she left the academy, she noticed 2 unusual people. At first she didn't even notice them, but thanks to her developed intuition she still felt someone's gaze when she walked a few meters from the gate, looking around to see who was looking at her, she saw 2 people standing in a stupor and looking at her. Naruko herself, seeing one of the people, was also very surprised.

"This person is incredibly similar to Ban from the Seven Deadly Sins, one of my favorite anime in my past life! A tall blue-haired man with red eyes and a sly look, but I don't see a scar on his neck, and the clothes are not at all like what Ban wore. But I don't know the girl, although she looks like she is a twin of this "Ban", they look at me and don't even try to pretend that they accidentally looked at me, who are they?"

Having decided to go in their direction, just pretending that she was on the way here, she heard the girl's words 3 meters away that really threw her off her mental balance: "Listen Ban, is it just me or does Naruto not exist here?" Having heard these words, Naruto immediately realized that Ban was real, and not just a person who looked very similar to him, and it also became clear that these people knew about Naruto and expected to see him, and not a female version.

Having decided to make sure that this was true, Naruko looked through the system at the statuses of the people in front of her, and all her doubts disappeared, as well as the feeling of understanding what was happening, or rather, it disappeared completely, because the statistics of even Ban alone indicate that he is stronger and more diverse than the canonical one, and there is also Kiliya, who is inferior to her brother only in direct combat skills, but surpasses him in several other areas.

***

When Naruko approached Ban and Kiliya, she only looked into their eyes. She stood there, her brain stalled and she couldn't figure out how to talk to them, how to ask the questions that appeared in her head, and what was going on, how did they end up in her world?

- Don't you understand what's going on?

Hearing Kiliya's words, Naruko only shook her head negatively, after which she thought about the question and shook her head positively, but the next moment she understood the question differently again and shook her head "No, no, no!".

- Cutie, don't worry, we won't hurt you, judging by your reaction, do we look like someone you know?

- Yes... Ban, the mortal sin of greed, but I don't know you.

Hearing the word "Cutie" in her direction, Naruko was embarrassed at first, but still, since these words were clearly said in a cheerful voice, and besides, from another girl, she quickly came to her senses. In her past life, she was just a lonely secretary, in a small company that produced hunting equipment, and she was not used to compliments, even despite her quite ordinary appearance, without any deformities, she was never lucky in love.

- Oh-oh-oh, that changes everything, you know Ban, right? Are you a seer, or maybe reincarnated?

- Second, it's pretty hard not to recognize Ban, I don't remember anyone with blue hair his height, and you confirmed my suspicions a minute ago, addressing him as Ban.Ban himself was extremely curious to know the story of the local main character, but he suppressed this impulse and decided to use the time usefully.

- Kilia, and, as I understand it, Naruko, right? Or are you Natsuki? Maybe Nahiko? Or Minako?

- I'm Naruko!

- Okay, then Kilia and Naruko, you talk, and I'll go to the Hokage for now, I'll try to get back as quickly as possible, you get to know each other for now and if possible, hold Naruko's story until I get back.Turning towards the mountain with the Hokage's faces, Ban went to Hiruzen.

- Well, initially we came to Konoha with 2 goals, and we decided to look at the local heroes out of pure curiosity. That's why he's in a hurry to finish the business for which we came, then let me tell you about us for now.

- Okay, but first please tell me why you came, if it's not a secret?

- We need to buy some scrolls from the Sarutobi clan, and visit Konoha as one of the main attractions of the Land of Fire, we want to go around this whole world, Ban even talked about the idea of ​​writing a book about all the places we've been.

- I see, traveling the world without worrying about anything, sounds very good. I hope when this whole story with Zetsu ends I will have the opportunity to repeat your journey.

- Don't worry, you are a reincarnated person, you will definitely be able to become strong, you have an advantage that others do not have, the experience of a past life!

- I know, and it is obvious, since the 1st year of the ninja academy I have been a top 1st class in all aspects except taijutsu and throwing shurikens. Listen, who are you to Ban? You look like his sister, well, or daughter.

Naruko and Kilia were talking during a walk, and they were heading towards Ichiraku ramen, Naruko decided if she was lucky to eat some pretty tasty food for free. Of course, she does not adore ramen like the original Naruto, but she still thinks it is very tasty.

- I am his sister, 3 years younger. As far as I understand, have you watched the seven deadly sins?- Yes, but I can't remember any sister for Ban, are you an original character?

- No, Kilia died in the original story when she was 4 years old. After my death, I met a demiurge who allowed me to make a choice in the form of 10 variations of who and where I could be reborn and spun the roulette, as a result, I took Kiliy's place at birth.

- And Ban? Does he know about Naruto from your stories? Although judging by his extremely surprised look, he should know more.

- He is also a reincarnator, it so happened that he was reborn by his own efforts, during the reincarnation when he found himself in the wheel of Samsara, he decided to run away from it and with all his might wanted to preserve himself and his memory. As a result, he ended up in Ban and was born in a new world. And you? What type of reincarnation do you have?

- When I was returning from work, I got caught in an explosion and died, some psycho went to rob a bank not with a firearm, but with a grenade in his hands, hung with bombs. As a result, the police caught him and took him to a hill next to the bank, but this psycho somehow caused an explosion, as a result, fragments from a car that was standing nearby flew in different directions and one of them hit me in the head. The next moment, I saw a sign in a game style with the inscription "Do you want to live" and without hesitation shouted yes.

- Oh, you have a system? I have not met anyone who owns it yet, and what can it do, please tell me, I am very interested.

After this phrase, Naruko realized that she let it slip, she did not want to talk about the system, at least in the near future, for her own safety, but judging by Kiliya's reaction, the presence of the system should not affect their attitude towards her in any way.

- I have the normal version, statistics, inventory, store, levels, and so on.

- Cool! Can you look at someone else's statistics? Can you tell me what mine looks like? Please, please, please!

Kilia hugged Naruko and pressed her cheek to Naruko's and began to repeat the same phrase, soon Naruko could not stand it and agreed to Kilia's demands, but still set the condition that she would tell only when Ban came, so as not to repeat several times. In the meantime, they decided to talk about Konoha, Naruko suggested several interesting places worth visiting. And in the meantime, while they were talking to each other and heading to Ichiraku ramen, Ban had already arrived at the Hokage building and began talking with the Kage secretary.
