Chapter Two
Ash stepped out of Sakura's house with trepidation. Suddenly, this world seamed a lot more real as people walked past her on their morning commute. She looked down at her open toed sandals and wiggled her toes.
Well. She might as well get this nightmare over with. She sighed pulling a strand of hair behind her ear. Looking around she noticed Sakura lived in the market district. Stalls of fresh fruit and food wafted over her making her stomach grumble.
She nibbled a bit on her toast. Note to self-Ash, get Sakura's Kaa-san to make her more food to put some weight on her bones.
Ash looked around unsure of where to go from the front door step. An older woman across the street smiled and waved at her.
"Good morning Sakura-chan." The woman said placing a sale sign down in front of her shop. Ash gulped her bread down and smiled tightly.
"Ah morning!" She replied. Not wanting to seem weird Ash started walking in a random direction hoping to find her way somehow. As she passed more shops, more and more people stopped what they where doing to wish her a good day.
Ash grinned and kept walking hoping to get away from so many people that apparently knew Sakura. It felt so awkward for so many people to know her. Sakura must have been a social person for all these people to know her. She waved and sighed when she made it out of the market. Being social was just to exhausting for her. She really wished she was home again. Ash sighed and walked over to the side of the street she was on so the people passing her wouldn't bump into her.
Now where was the Academy? She thought looking around idly.
Can't find your way! Remember use the Map icon to locate where you need to go!
The pink scripted of the game popped up in front of Ash's vision. She felt like an idiot. Of course, this game had a gps. Just fucking great.
Sighing Ash pushed the map icon and watched as the map expanded in front of her. It showed her blue dot on a street next to the market district. Lots of little green dots glowed around her signaling the civilians as they passed by.
Well okay. How did she zoom out?
As if responding to her thoughts the map blurred and showed a bird's eye view of the entire village. That was helpful, Ash thought looking at all the green little dots that clustered the village like city lights. A few red ones where even shown making Ash shiver. She needed to make sure to stay far away from the hostiles. She didn't know who they where but with her being only level one and very new to this world Ash wasn't keen on dying so soon.
Leaning back against the wall of the street Ash's eyes scanned the map for the Academy with no luck. Finally, she just sighed and just stated Konoha Academy.
The map rippled and zoomed in a bit to show her a gold line that had a green icon at the end of it atop of a big building. Alright she could deal with this. Minimizing her map, she saw a yellow arrow onto of the street she was pointing her in the right direction.
Ash watched entranced as people walked through the arrow like it was air. She stepped forward and put her hand out to it only for it to go right through the arrow.
Okay so the arrow wasn't tangible good to know. Ash thought and started to fallow her new GPS towards the academy.
As Ash passed people she saw little explanation marks in gold above their heads. Ash assumed they meant people with quests for her to complete, but they would have to wait till she level upped some. Ash didn't want to take on more than she could chew.
Finally making it to the Academy, Ash's game gave a ping.
Konoha's Ninja Academy Found!
Plus 20 exp!
2,460 exp to level 2!
Finding new places in your world will gain you 20 exp for just exploring while updating your map!
The text read. Ash waved her hand making it disappear and entered the Academy grounds. The building looked like it did in the anime. White pale pink walls, with a yellow roof with three red arches on top.
It even had the little swing and tree Naruto would sit on in the first episode in the courtyard. Entering the building Ash's gps arrow shrunk and pointed her to the left side of the door where there was a wall of lockers.
A gold circle highlighted one locker on top, signaling Ash to open it. Ash placed her hand over the locker's handle and pulled. A ping sounded but Ash ignored the text as she found a small thigh holster bag, a couple notebooks, two school books, pencils, and some bandages.
These must be her academy equipment then Ash guessed as she strapped them on her right thigh. As soon as she finished hooking the bag Ash felt a weight settle into it.
Confused she opened the bag only to see a bundle of Kunai and Shuriken. A ping sounded.
You've Equipped your weapons pouch!
Weapons, if within the size limits, will automatically sort themselves into it from your Inventory.
This game was getting old fast. Ash sighed grabbed the rest of the schools supplies and fallowed the next arrows that appeared to her classroom. The Gps disabled once she touched the door to open it.
Running a hand through her short hair, Ash took a deep breath. This was it. She was going to meet some of her favorite characters and not fangirl like a Sakura. But she was Sakura so just trying not to fan girl in general would be good. Not only that but most of the people behind this door where children. Icky, soon to be teenaged angst children trained to be killers. Yeah, no pressure.
Ash took another deep breathed and opened the door. Three heads turned towards her as she stepped into the room.
Shikamaru Nara opened his eyes looking over towards the door. He blinked sleepily and stared at the girl who just entered the room. She was wearing a green half t-shirt, mesh undershirt and black capris with her standard weapons pouch tide to her right leg, holding the academy school boots. The girl's hair was in a short bob style with her bangs off to one side. She bit her lip as her pale green eyes surveyed the room. The girl looked familiar he thought before he quickly deduced it was Sakura Haruno, number one fangirl in their class. So, she cut her hair and dropped the chipou dress she always wore.
"Troublesome." He mumbled and closed his eyes to go back to sleep.
Hinata Hyuga jumped when the door opened to allow a person through. Looking out from under her bangs her pale eyes widened signifyingly. A pale pink short haired girl walked in. Hinata almost thought it was a new student expect for the fact that she new of only one other girl in their class to have that shade of hair. Blushing she bent her chin into her hoodie shyly. That was Sakura Haruno! But what happened to her hair?! Has the girl finally give up on her crush on Sasuke?! Wait. Did this mean that she might like Naruto-kun now?! Oh no! If Sakura started like Naruto, Hinata would be devastated. Hinata knew she had no chance to compete with the skinny girl if that where true! Naruto has liked her for a long time after all! Hinata's thoughts continued to swirl in agony as she fiddled her fingers together.
Oh, Naruto-Kun what was she going to do now?!
Shino Aburame's eyes fallowed the newly trimmed pinked haired Sakura, not that anyone could see his eyes since he had them covered with his sunglasses. The girl surveyed the room taking in their seat placements. He was at the far right in the back row which gave him a great view of the oak tree outside the window that hosted the best cicadas this time a year. The Hyuga was in next row over, seaming content to shyly hide in the middle back seats. And the Nara was in front of the Hyuga with his head down most likely not even caring enough to raise his head to see who entered the room. He was most defiantly asleep right now. Shino watched as Sakura seamed to pick her destination because she started up the stairs toward him. One step, two steps, and she turned towards the Hyuga's seat. Her new outfit looked nice on her, Shino thought. Why he couldn't say but short hair suited her as well. Maybe she had finally decided to take shinobi life seriously. Or something happened to change her mind. This new variable was confusing, and Shino didn't know what to make of this change. Her new disposition required further observation. Maybe he should pay the Haruno more attention later.
It was only logical.
"Uno…May I sit here?" Ash asked fiddling with the side of her notebook. She looked expectantly at a slowly reddening face of Hinata Hyuga. Hinata Freaking Hyuga. OMG, she was so adorable! Ash thought to herself. She just wanted to hug the girl into her chest and not let go. So cute!
Reign it in girl! Ash chastised her self as she smiled sheepishly to Hinata. The young Hyuga heiress starred at her like she had three heads. "Y-You…W-w-want to s-s-sit. H-h-here?" Hinata replied blushing making Ash's smile widen.
"Yeah. Your Hinata right? May I sit next to you?" Ash asked clarifying. Hinata fiddled with her hands as she looked from Sakura to the seat next to her and back. Finally, after some deliberation, Hinata nodded swiftly and turned her body back to face the front, her face on fire.
She didn't know why Sakura was talking to her, but it couldn't mean anything good. After all who would want to sit next to her. She was nothing special. She wished Sakura just sat in her normal seat. Hinata could already tell this was going to be a bad day.
Ash smiled again and sat herself down next to her favorite character of all time. Hinata was so cute as she fiddled with her fingers. Ash guessed it was a little weird for her to be sitting next to the girl, but she didn't care. She was sitting Next to Hinata Hyuga! She grinned tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and placing her books out before her.
Ash noticed that Shikamaru was sitting in front of them seaming content to ignore their exchange while Shino was in the row over from them looking out the window. Well at least the two boys didn't look surprised. That or they just didn't care. It was cool with her either way. Ash had a feeling once the rest of the class arrived it was going to get rowdy rather quick at her new development.
She looked over at Hinata from the corner of her eye again. The girl was doing everything she could not to hyperventilate, with her cheeks flushed and her brow furrowed she looked like a cute little pale eyed chipmunk.
Ah Hinata was just too cute. Ash thought deciding to leave the girl alone for now. She didn't want to give the poor girl a heart attack after all. Her mind must already be going a hundred miles a minute anyway.
Looking down at her Academy text books she wondered what time class started. It seamed she was had arrived early by accident leaving her wondering what to do.

Her game pinged blowing her semi happy mood out the window. Yay, crazier arrived just what she needed. Sighing Ash picked up the first book on her pile to begin her quest.
Hand Seals for the Slight Hand the first book read. Opening it Ash started to read the first chapter.
'Hand seals, are used to perform many ninjutsu, genjutsu, and other secret arts other than taijutsu. The exact amount of chakra necessary to perform a technique is manipulated through hand seals. There are different sequences of hand seals for every technique, requiring memorization. While techniques may require many hand seals to work, a skilled ninja can use less or even one to perform the same technique. There are twelve basic seals, each one named after an animal of the Chinese zodiac.'
Rat (子, Ne): This hand seal is commonly affiliated with the special Shadow Techniques of the Nara clan. Hook one hand over the top of your other and arch your index finger a bit.
Ox (丑, Ushi) keep your right hand flat with your fingers spread out evenly. Then put your other hand's index finger between the pinky and the finger next to it keeping it straight, put your next finger turned down and the finger after that hooking over your hand.
Tiger (寅, Tora): This hand seal is commonly affiliated with Fire and Earth Release. Hook your hands together and use your index fingers facing straight in a thinking pose.
Hare (卯, U) just lay your pinky finger between your index and thumb fingers keeping the rest of your hands flat.
Dragon (辰, Tatsu) just turn your hands vertical, leave your thumb and pinky fingers straight and hook the rest of your fingers together.
Snake (巳, Mi): This hand seal is commonly affiliated with Earth Release. Clamp your hands together and let your fingers look like a serpent's tale.
Horse (午, Uma) just put your index fingers together and hook the rest of your fingers facing flat.
Ram (未, Hitsuji) just put your hands in a gun shape and put your hands together one hand over the other like in the picture
Monkey (申, Saru) just put your hands-on top of each other, facing different directions, and put your thumb over you little finger on one side, and your thumb under your little finger on the other side
Bird (酉, Tori): This hand seal is commonly affiliated with Wind Release. just put your hands together like in the picture, keep the tips of your middle fingers touching, and curl your index fingers together
Dog (戌, Inu): This hand seal is commonly affiliated with Water Release, just put one hand into a fist and clap the other hand on top of it
Boar (亥, I) the last hand sign is BOAR, just clap your hands together and then bend your fingers and then turn your hand upside-down.
The book read with pictures next to the text. It was nothing Ash didn't already know from reading the manga, but it was nice that it had pictures. Flipping through the rest of the book just had directions on how to place your hands step by step.
Ash decided to practice a bit and brought her hands up under her breast to practice. Her hands folded into the signs easily as if by muscle memory. After she completed the whole set a ping sounded.
Skill Added!

The next book in her pile was a guide to the academy taijutsu forms. She studied the book for about ten minutes before her next ping sounded.
Skill Added!
Academy Taijutsu!
Lvl 3
By practicing this hand to hand combat skill, you can punch your enemy's faces in. Learn new forms of taijutsu to upgrade this skill in levels.
Ash sighed. She assumed that since Sakura already knew this stuff that all she had to do was read about it and it would pop up in her skills list again. Well it beat having to relearn all her skills from the very beginning. Ash hated working hard on stuff, so it was a win for her.
The next book was called Genjutsu for the Creative of Minds.
'Genjutsu (幻術, literally meaning: Illusionary Techniques) is one of the main jutsu categories which uses chakra. Unlike ninjutsu, the effects of genjutsu are not real, being only illusions experienced by those who fall victim to it. The least harmful option for combatting genjutsu is for the ninja to stop the flow of chakra in their body, and then apply an even stronger power to disrupt the flow of the genjutsu user's chakra; this is called Genjutsu Kai. With additional training, this can also be done by an unaffected ninja by applying a sudden surge of chakra into the affected person. Use the tiger seal to accomplish this.'
Skill Added!
Kai!
Lvl 3
Disrupt your flow of chakra to stop a Genjutsu from affecting your senses.
A ping sounded right after Kai was added.

Noise from around her suddenly penetrated her mind. Looking up from her books Ash noticed that the classes had already filled up with students all being rowdier then the next. Looking around she could see most of the Rookie Nine had arrived. Kiba was chatting with Chouji as the bigger boy fed on a bag of chips. Sasuke true to emo form was brooding in the far row as fan girls squealed around him. Ash snorted and looked away. Hinata seemed to have calmed down next to her and looked to be reading her own books. Shikamaru was still sleeping. Shino was most likely ignoring everyone, while the rest of the class seemed to be made up of background characters Ash never learned the name of.
Suddenly the door of the room opened again. And there was the number one Ino who looked like she just ran a mile to get to school on time.
"YES! I made it!" Ino yelled then looked around the room. Her eyes didn't seem to even notice Ash as the blue orbs zeroed in on the empty seat next to Sasuke that for some reason none of the other fan girls had claimed.
"Kahh! I made it before Forehead today!" The blonde girl yelled zipping her way next to Sasuke. Ash's eyebrow twitched. That forehead comment tick her off. It wasn't even that big.
Snorting Ash decided to Ignore the blonde girl. The door opened again and a blue haired man in a chunnin uniform entered the room.
"Hai, Hai everyone to your seats! Class is about to start." The man said setting his teaching supplies on the front desk as he directed students back to their seats.
One student in the front row raised their hand. "Yes, what is it Yuki-Kun." The man asked the child.
"Neh, Mizuki-sensei, Where's Iruka-Sensei this morning?" The kid asked voicing the question Ash was thinking as well.
"Iruka-Sensei will be her a bit later. Someone pranked the teacher's lounge this morning and he's gone to apprehend the perpetrator." Mizuki said scowling. The kids in the room started to laugh, giggling at whoever was stupid enough to get in trouble.
"Bet it was that Naruto-Baka again." A boy chuckled in front of Ash making her scowl. Other's joined in making degrading comments about the main character of their universe.
Ash was starting to get a head ache, kids where so mean sometimes and they got on her nerves. She didn't like the blonde any more than the next Naruto manga fan but still.
Mizuki calmed down the class again with a wave of his hands. "Alright everyone settle-down, today we will be taking your course work exams before the class moves on to more field work for the next two months. Please place your books under your desks and take out a pencil. You have the next two hours to finish it." Mizuki said passing out papers to each row of students.
"Hai-sensei!" The class chorused and got to work on their papers. When Ash took a good look at her exam she sighed.
Yay. Algebra. It's not like she hasn't done a lick of math in twenty years. A tap snapped her out of her brooding making Ash look over next to her.
Hinata's red face entered her vision. "G-g-good l-l-luck, H-h-haruno-s-san." The shy girl said shaking like a leaf. So adorable! Ash thought.
She grinned and gave a thumbs up. "You to Hinata-Chan!" She whispered going back to her paper.
Feeling a new sense of happiness, Ash went back to her paper. It was only grade school algebra. She shouldn't have any trouble with it. She was over thirty-years old how hard could simple math be?
Hope you enjoyed.
