Chapter 1: Job offer and new reality
My day began like any other, I woke up, ate some breakfast, took a bath, and went to work at the local computer store in my city, my job is to fix computers is an easy job, and I love the fact that I do not have to talk to anyone, the customer service department deals with the customers, I just get the computers to fix, and that is a paradise for me that I am an introvert, I'm comfortable around people that I know, but I rarely surrounded of people I know.
The salary is not bad, and I don't have very high expenses, but I wish I could earn a little more so I could buy a car.
"Frank, we are closing the store early today, and we are closed tomorrow; the boss called and said that the carpet cleaning company is coming early, and you know how hard it is to get them to come," Jane, my supervisor, said, entering my workplace.
"Got it, boss, are we still getting paid for today and tomorrow?" I asked knowing full well the answer; our boss was a petty person, if he could get something for free, he would lie and cheat anyone.
"Yes, he is, but he is taking some of our holiday hours," Jane said, looking at me with a smile that said I tried to stop him.
"Alrighty, thanks," I said, getting my stuff to leave the store and relax playing some Skyrim, or maybe I could play the Witcher series again.
After taking the bus home which was late today, I decided to take a relaxing bath to clean my mind of the shit and stuff I usually deal with, after that I selected the snacks for my game night that's a pretty important factor when gaming the wrong snacks can fuck up your game night, but first I had to check my email, two weeks ago I had applied for a beta key for a game that seemed promising, and I wanted to see if I had been approved.
So I turned on my computer and went straight to my email to check, and unfortunately, I was rejected.
[Dear Frank we are glad that you like our game, but unfortunately, we are looking for more experienced gamers to try the game and help us to develop it]
''Experienced' my ass that email is saying they want famous streamers to advertise their shit for free, well, I guess I'll wait for the game to release.' I thought, with mild anger, and as I was about to close my email, another email pops up.
[Dear Frank, we are from Trunk-Kun industries we specialize in given our customers new and unique experiences, we have a game we know you are the person for the job.]
The email had a lot of information about the project and what they expected from me, the name of the company, the address, the salary, I had never seen so many zeros in one number, and I was off tomorrow, so what could go wrong.
**********************************************************************************************************
The next day I woke up early and dressed in my best clothes, the job sounded great, now I hope my lack of social skills won't make me miss the opportunity, even though I didn't get anything about Trunk-Kun industries other than a ton of fan fiction in the internet that didn't mean anything, perhaps they were new or just a sub-company of someone else.
As soon as I stepped inside the location, I was given two men approached to welcome me.
"Welcome to truck-kun industries, my name is Ford," Ford, the first man, said with a smile.
"And my name is Ram, we are here to guide you to your assignment," Ram said making a gesture with his hand for me to follow him.
As I followed them I noticed that they were not giving me a tour, they were taking me directly somewhere, maybe the tour was for later? I also noticed after the stress was gone that their names were car brands, was that intentional or just an inside joke in the company?
"I think I'll need a map," I said with a chuckle.
"No need," Ford said, stopping.
"You are not gonna remember much of this place anyways," Ram said, opening a door and gesturing me to enter.
Following what they wanted from me, I entered the room, a woman, a beautiful one was waiting sitting on a chair, with a white desk in front of her, the room had a VR SET, but nothing I had ever seen before.
"Welcome, is a pleasure to have you with us, my name is Honda, please have a seat there," Honda said, and again I started to see the pattern, they all had car-related names, if that was a requirement I was fucked.
"Sure," I said, going over the chair that was under the VR and sitting as she wanted.
Honda started to connect wires to every part of my body, and without me realizing it, she injected something into my arm, it felt cold like ice entering my veins.
"Enjoy this, as for us the mighty trucks have chosen you," Honda said with a smile, while I was in-between running and asking what in the hell she injected me.
"What did you inject into my arm--" I was about said that, but she silenced me putting the VR helmet on my head.
**********************************************************************************************************
[Welcome to A.L.I.C.E.
...
You must be confused, allow me to explain what happened, you were the lucky one to be chosen for a chance to travel around the multiverse, and live your life as a game.
Your past life has been eliminated, meaning you no longer exist in the world you once knew, so don't be sad, A.L.I.C.E is here, you might feel frightened, but according to your own thoughts you didn't lose much getting out of that miserable and boring life.]
'Jesus, I was sad, but now I depressed,' I thought? Said? I was quite confused cause I didn't feel my lips moving or my body at all now that I think about it.
[You can't feel your body cause it no longer exists, but fear not, we are going to start creating your new body soon, WARNINGS! please be very careful and be sure in what you select, if you chose different sex, for example, you will not be able to change it, this body will be yours through the multiverse, and in each new world, you get something new to help you advance in your adventure.]
'So those guys at that new company killed me?' I thought.
[In a way, yes.
But enough about that, let's create your character, just a quick info for you, the stats you had as a human will be added to your character, and that is not counting the points you can use.
The first world has been selected for you, after finishing this world you will have the option to travel to a new one, but don't worry, you will be able to go back, and the world will be there as the friends you will make on your way.]
The darkness that covered the area I was in changed suddenly, and I found myself in an endless white room with a body floating in front of me, practically the same as the Skyrim character creation, I was still without a body of my own, but I was able to comprehend what was going on.
[Please select your gender.]
'Male,' I thought if this was the VR GAME, they wanted me to try was fucking realistic so far.

'Jesus, I don't know what half of those do, the Uchihas as a hard pass, the Hyūgas are another hard nope, the Senju seem nice and so do the Uzumaki with their seals and long life spans, but I already know what was going to happen in Konoha, I want to try something new,' I thought, 'The Kazekage Clan,'
[Perfect! now please select the timeline, to select timeline, just think of the time and period you want to start your adventure, and I'll do the rest.]
'I want to be older than Naruto, to get enough time to train, but not old enough to be his dad, so I wanna be at least five years older than Naruto at the beginning of the series,' I said.
[Perfect! now please modify your appearance and stats to your liking and check the auto-generated backstory for you.]

'Wow, my charisma is really low, that hurts but is not inaccurate,' I thought, and here was the most difficult decision of each gamer in the world how to distribute the stats, after a couple of hours watching the stats and thinking I decided to ask something, 'Can I skip this and keep the stats, I wanna figure out first my strong points in this world.'
[Of course, that path is acceptable... please select your appearance and name or select randomize to get a random config; also, your body will start at the age of five, so have that in mind.]
'Ok, let me see,' I thought as I scrolled down through the options available for customization, it took me a while, but I managed to finish it.
[Great here is your description,
You are the eldest son of the Kazekage, Zed no Suna; You are five years old. You're a good 4'2 inches tall, you inherited the magnet release from your father, even though you live in the desert your skin is pale, your eyes are yellow like a cat, and in the night they scare people off, you have red hair.
You have three siblings,
Temari no Suna = 3 years old
Kankuro no Suna = 2 years old
Gaara no Suna = 1-month-old
Is this acceptable to you?]
'Yes, though I'm not sure of having a psychopath as a brother, maybe if I avoid the mistreatment, he will behave better,' I thought.
[Perfect starting world!...
Generating maps.....
Creating evil plot.....
]
'Wait what do you mean with evil' I was about to ask, but my scenery changed, I was in a room alone.
**********************************************************************************************************
Apparently, I found myself in a fancy clay-like room. It was different than the character creation room, as it was much smaller, the room had one door, and three windows and the sunlight was shining through, the sand swirling around the windows not entering the room.
Outside looking through the window, I could recognize some of the buildings shown in Naruto, sounds of wind filled the air, In the middle of the room was an open box with Kunais and Shurikens, besides it, a book that had for title, the ways of controlling your chakra, I could not help but stare in delight at how real all looked I could spend hours just marveling at these seemingly ordinary things, it was terrific. This game was realistic as fuck.
A shadow appeared at the door. It was a man of about thirty years old, with Red hair, his red robe neat and refined. "Zed, I hope you are ready for your first day in the academy, I will not tolerate failure,"
"Ok," I said, not sure what to answer, was this the tutorial?
The man sat down beside me on the floor. "After your done with your chores, please attend to the kitchen to eat, understood?"
I was so busily appreciating how realistic the man looked, down to the lines on his forehead, that I forgot to answer, after a minute of watching him, I saw a title floating about his head, [Rasa no Suna LV???].
The man, in this case, my father said again, in a more demanding tone. "Understood?"
"Yes," I answered fast; he looked so realistic that making him angry didn't seem like a good option.
"Good, now finish reading the book I gave you son," Rasa said leaning close hugging me, "You are my son, I know you won't fail, like father like son,"
'Jesus, this man is giving me mix signals,' I thought, reciprocating the hug, I had to play my part, right?
**********************************************************************************************************
So, I've been in this place a month, trying to get out of the game, and I've come to the conclusion that it's real, either that or I'm crazy.
The academy has been something interesting so far, it's like being in school again, they still don't give us anything I don't know already, or that is hard to grasp, mostly because we haven't done anything that ninjas do, I have yet to throw a kunai or a shuriken, the classes are composed of teaching the children how to write to read, about the history of the village, etc. which has boosted my INT and WIS every day, not by a lot, but still works.
My teacher is impressed with the fact that I can read, write perfectly, which leads me to the next question when in the fucking hell did I learned Japanese, I don't remember the difference between English at Japanese at all, is a weird feeling.
"Zed, your teacher talked to me, he wants to advance you two years," Rasha said as we walked home, looking proud of me, this guy is way too bipolar for my taste when he is not loving me, he'shes looking at me like an enemy.
"Why?" I asked, but I kinda knew the answer, I knew that I was more advanced in terms of learning than the other children, but I didn't consider myself stronger than them, I mean I don't even know how strong I am, I haven't fought with anyone yet, and God knows I'm not a prodigy like Kakashi or Itachi, I'm just an adult inside of a child's body, which gives me an unfair advantage in many things, like logical thinking.
"The teacher and I, consider is a waste of talent to slow you down with the other kids, you will start on your new classes tomorrow, make me proud," Rasa said, hugging me a leaving.
My new siblings were something I wasn't used to, in my past life I was an only child, and now I had a younger sister who wanted to play with me twenty-four hours a day and a brother who wanted to sleep with me always and copied everything I did, and even though I said multiple times no to him to not sleep with me, I almost always find him sleeping next to me, and it's not something pleasant when I wake up and find that my bed is wet, and at the end of the list is Gaara, he's still a baby and ironically he's the least annoying one.
In my new class, I was the youngest, they were all 8 to 10 years old, and I was five, I think the only reason I'm not getting bullied is that my father is the Kazekage, which gives me some protection I guess.
"Class, we are going to have a taijutsu test later today, after break," Our teacher said looking at me, he wanted to see how good I was in a fistfight, well teacher prepared to be disappointed I have never fought in my entire existence. Hence, it's safe to say I will lose.
[Quest!: Win your first taijutsu match, and show the teacher you deserve to be here,

'What in the hell are Alice points?' I questioned myself.
[ALICE POINTS can be used for a variety of stuff, like purchasing Jutsu scrolls, Taijutsu scrolls, and more, like weapons or if you have enough points new bloodlines.]
'So I have a month here, and just now I know I have a store?.....show me the store,' I commanded inside my mind.

'Wow, the list is huge, and the mokuton as expected is expensive as fuck....question what about dojutsu,' I thought.
[Nature transformations can be explained because you don't always need to be part of the clan to have, but Dojutsu are another story if you somehow awakened the Sharingan it could lead to a war with Konoha]
'Makes sense, question how many points I have?' I thought.
[You have a total of ♦100 A.P♦ for the moment]
'Thanks,' I thought, considering that if I win this fight ill be able to but the scorch release.
**********************************************************************************************************
After lunch, we went to the training room, where the teacher put me against the child who had the best score in taijutsu. I don't think the teacher likes me, the kid's name was Loke Hanaru, the kid rushed towards me as soon as I stepped inside the ring, but before he was able to connect a punch on me, time freezes.

The enemy you face has better stats for close combat, but you are a little faster, also remember that cheating and low blows are allowed and rewarded in the ninja world, as the honorable one dies and the cheater lives.
For this tutorial you will be given a taijutsu skill]
My surroundings changed; I found myself in a dojo, with an old man sitting in the middle, the dojo was nothing out of the ordinary but still surprised me, once I took a step forward the old man stood up, and started to walk towards me.
"To survive in the ninja world in dangerous times like these, I'll teach you a Jutsu," said the man, as he proceeded to place one foot forward bending his knees, holding his left hand out in front of him, palm forward, while his right formed a fist at his waist, "Take my stance."
Doing what the man told me to do, I proceeded to copy his stance.
"Now focus your chakra in your punch and push it forward. Like this," said the man, his right-hand shot forward, and the air in front of him seemed to burst in a silent explosion.
The man started to look at me, so I knew that was my cue to do the same, concentrating on my right hand, I pushed it forward. A rush of energy flowed through me, from deep within his stomach, traveling down to my arm, and as the old man, a silent explosion took place, I felt a bit of my chakra deplete while doing so, but nothing too high.
♦Congratulations! You have learned a new Jutsu: Focused Strike.♦
[Tutorial completed, unpausing reality]
The boy who had been suspended during the assault resumed his attack as if nothing had happened, I avoided his attack barely and repeating what I did in the tutorial I hit the boy in the jaw with a focused strike, if my anatomy knowledge was still useful as hit with enough strength should be able to knock someone out, and it did.
