Chapter 4 - Konoha.

[Due to you "saving" Obito Uchiha, your Main Quest has changed.]

[Main Quest: Subjugation of the Demon Fox: Discover the location of Naruto's birth, unleash the Nine-Tailed Fox on Konoha, and prevent him from being sealed!

Failure will result in incarceration or death.

Rewards: +3 Level ups, +1 Rare Random Item/Skill Ticket, Companion System.]

Tsukimi read the requirements for her new quest and was a bit upset, "The rewards for the last main quest were way better…"

She sighed and stood up. She had just finished eating a boar she caught and the sun had long set, "I don't even know where Konoha is from here…"

[I will guide you.]

Soon an arrow appeared in her vision. It pointed southwest. Tsukimi smiled, "Thank you system! I've also decided on a name for you! From now on you're Miki!"

[MIKI filed into system directive.]

[One moment…]

[Ding!]

[Hello, host! ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯]

The screens changed from blue to pink with cute designs and emojis. Tsukimi's smile only grew wider, "You're so cute now! I could die from cuteness right now."

Clearly, her child body also affected her mind. She examined her new system layout for a few minutes before deciding to sleep before heading to Konoha. She wrote 'soft' on the tree branch she was sitting on and it immediately felt like a soft mattress.

Soon, she fell asleep. She woke up at the crack of dawn and yawned, "Time to do the daily quest and head towards Konoha. Since we're still in the middle of the Third Great Ninja War, Naruto won't be born for another year or so. That gives me enough time to integrate within Konoha and train!" She exclaimed as she looked at her daily quest and tilted her head in confusion.

[Daily Quest: 100 sword swings, 100 squats, 100 pushups, 10-mile run, and 1000 punches.

Must complete before sundown or you will face penalties.

Rewards: +1 Random Item/Skill ticket.]

"Uhh, Miki, I think a reward is missing and there's a new requirement…" She said blankly while pointing at the screen.

[About that…it was a mistake on my part! I'm so so sorry! ( ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ]

[The daily quest is supposed to supplement your growth naturally, not artificially by giving you a free stat point every day. Please forgive me!]

[As compensation I'll give you this. (≧◡≦) ♡]

[+1 Lifetime Prime Meat Ticket!]

A golden ticket that read 'Niku' appeared in her hands. Tsukimi smiled and placed the ticket in her inventory, "I forgive you, Miki don't worry."

She then tightened her fists and began doing her daily quest. After 2.5 hours of hard work, she was finally finished.

[Daily Quest completed!]

[+1 Random Item/Skill ticket!]

[+2 FORT, +2 SPD!]

"Open…open the ticket!" Tsukimi said as she caught her breath.

[-1 Random Item/Skill ticket.]

[Skill gained: Solar Flare (10 INT): Blind your enemies by radiating your energy with the same strength as the sun.]

"This will come in handy for sure. Now, onwards to the leaf village!" She said with a big smile on her face. She weaved through the trees and avoided the many conflicts going on around her until they began to significantly lessen.

"Looks like I'm close." She put Wado Ichimonji in her inventory and began traveling on foot. Within a few minutes, she reached the front gate and was stopped by two shinobi.

She made sure to lower her chakra level to below a genin just in case there was a sensor ninja among them.

"Stop right there. What village are you from and why have you come to Konoha?" A shinobi with spiky black hair and onyx eyes asked her.

'An Uchiha…' She fought a smile and answered tearfully, "M-My village was destroyed by the Iwa shinobi and my…my mommy told me I would be safe in Konoha!" Tsukimi fell to her knees and cried.

Both shinobi looked at each other and the Uchiha scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry little girl, I didn't mean to sound so mean! How about you follow me and I'll take you to a nearby orphanage…" He said as he extended his hand.

Tsukimi took it and they walked through the gates, 'Easy peasy.'

[Side Quest: Graduate the academy with flying colors and join the Anbu black ops.

Time limit: None.

Rewards: Advanced Taijutsu for Dummies, +2 All stats. Do you accept? Y/N.]

'Yes!' She said as she scanned the village. She then closed her eyes and sensed the chakra of everyone around her. She could feel the massive chakra signatures of the Hokage, Danzo, and her target, Kushina Uzumaki.

'Despite her being so far away, her chakra feels like I'm standing in front of a furnace!' Tsukimi sweated at the thought of fighting her right now.

'Indeed a humbling experience. I'm afraid even if she is weakened during childbirth, that woman will not go down easily. I have no intention of killing her or Minato but I may have to…' She thought to herself as she and the Uchiha walked through the village. They walked further and further away from the village until they reached a long wooden building.

It looked a little run-down but that didn't matter to Tsukimi, she wasn't planning on being here for long. The Uchiha knocked on the door and a beautiful light brown-haired woman opened the door.

"I have another orphan for you Nonō-san." The Uchiha shinobi said and Nonō adjusted her glasses as she looked at Tsukimi. She bent down to her level and smiled, "Hi dear, my name is Nonō Yakushi but from here on you can call me Mother. What's your name?"

Her voice was light and sweet, Tsukimi purposefully hesitated for a moment before speaking, "T-Tsukimi Sumigaki…"

Nonō smiled, "Nice to meet you Tsukimi! Come on in, I'll introduce you to the other children." Nonō said as she stood up and guided Tsukimi in.

'I kinda feel bad for fooling such a nice lady.' Tsukimi internally sighed and followed Nonō.

"Children, gather downstairs we have a new family member." She said and the sounds of pattering footsteps rang throughout the orphanage.

Seven children appeared, four boys and three girls, "Everyone this is Tsukimi, say hello."

"Hello, Tsukimi!" They all said in unison and began introducing themselves.

"I'm Tenma." A boy with light brown hair and amber eyes said with a smile.

"The names Noshitori and I'm gonna be hokage one day!" A boy with spiky black hair and blue eyes exclaimed. Tsukimi fought the urge to roll her eyes, 'You're probably gonna die within a few years…'

"M-My name is Morikage it's nice to meet you…" A blue-haired boy with purple eyes and glasses whispered.

"My name is Kana! It's nice to meet you Tsukimi!" A blonde-haired girl with dark green eyes said with a smile.

"My name is Urushi." A boy with a round nose and an interesting hat said blankly. He had black hair and black eyes and didn't make much eye contact with Tsukimi.

"My name is Chiyuri but everyone calls me Chi-Chi!" A bubbly girl with pink hair and blue eyes exclaimed with a smile.

"My name is Kaguya…it's nice to meet you Tsukimi." A white haired girl with blank mauve eyes said with a small smile. Tsukimi scanned her chakra signature and it was entirely normal.

'For some reason, I feel like something is off about this one...' Tsukimi almost narrowed her eyes but gave Kaguya a smile, "It's nice to meet you as well. It's a pleasure to meet all of you." She said quietly and they soon began to swarm her with questions.

"How old are you?"

"Are you gonna join the academy too?"

"D-Do you like bugs?"

Tsukimi smiled and answered their questions one by one. Nonō looked from a distance and had a smile on her face as well. The children in this orphanage have nowhere to go anymore. Their clans, villages, families, and homes have all been ravaged by war.

'I'm glad this is the one place they can feel somewhat safe, even if that safety is temporary…'
