Tobias collapse on his feet the moment he and his escort entered the Yamanaka District.
"Fuck~" he whined heavily panting, "I thought I was gonna die from those old batshit fogeys,"
"Fogeys?"
Questioned Vū, not correcting Tobias' way of addressing the elders, who had been at the beginning of the Village.
Similarly, Vū had also though that he was going to die just by kneeling before those old fools. But in the end, a Shinobi is a Shinobi, Vū barely manage to compose his posture, nonetheless he succeeded.
Vū, who in his entire, grew up in Konoha was helpless against the Elders indoctrination. Especially with the Will of Fire, that Vū considers to be a bullshit propaganda. Fight and die for Konoha, it is your duty as a Shinobi of Konoha to be obliged to follow the orders of your leaders, else you're not worthy of life. Despised by everyone who has a fetish for a rule stucker. Follow the Hokage, follow your orders, that is the only way you will be worth anything.
Vū hated it.
It clashed horribly with his morals. And he hated that everyone in the next generation were being fed with that kind of shitty propaganda.
"Oh ya'know,"
"... N... no, I really don't,"
"An old person who still clung to the old ways."
"Ahhh," Vū felt like he'd learn lots of unusual words from Tobias in the near future.
"What are you still doing here anyway?"
"Pardon?"
"Do you think I won't be cutting off your salary just because you're my escort?"
'This shameless guy!' Vū tightly grabbed the handle of his chōkuto, his entire body shook as he chanted to calm himself down, 'Phew, I almost cut that vulgar face of his.'
"Besides, don't you want to bring more honorrr~ to the Clan? HUH?!"
Vū stayed silent as Tobias continued to fish out the bait.
"Just think about it, do you know how much honor it'd bring the clan when our customers have come to known the ondol we've built for them."
"And what's in it for you, anyways?"
"Are you blind or do you just not use your fucking eyes!"
The edge to Vū's lips twitched.
"Of course~ it's money!!!" He answered, the grin that Vū had come to hate erupted on Tobias' face, his eyes screamed 'Money' as he repeatedly rubbed his thumb over the tip of his index finger.
'Fuck this, I should go back to work. Wait! What is even my work?'
"Hurry the fuck up!"

(Third Person PoV Ending)
(First Person PoV) [Inserting Tobias]
'The fuck is this'
Is what I have in mind, wondering on whether the Old War Hawk had casted a Genjutsu at me or is it just that my eyes are playing with me, or maybe it's all due to the stress that I've suffered because of the lack of money that resulted me to create hallucinations.
[The Virtual Assistant System has successfully began to Operate!]
[What is the purpose of the Virtual Assistant System, you may ask?]
[The purpose of the System is to assist Tobias, whose 'Wish' has been granted, to the System's utmost ability.]
An anonymous voice that I could neither recognize to be man or a woman's flowed into my mind. My eardrums felt overuse as the strange message with its voice rang inside my head, reminiscence of a loud alarm clock that I've always put up with every early dawn.
What the fuck is this? What System? What wish? What the fuck is happening?!
[Go outside, to the placed where you train.]
"And why the fuck should I do that? Listen here you little shite, just because my curiosity is killing me about your....."
My word trailed off as I struggled to find the correct word in my vocabulary to describe whatever the fuck this is.
Ah, right!
".... unexpected occurrence in my life..." — 'and in this world' was left unspoken, but I have a gut feeling that the Virtual System knows of what was the unspoken word—. I trailed off the end sentence suddenly wanting to seemingly be view as stoic and mysterious.
[More like dramatic.]
Did this System just read my mind?
[If you go outside you'll see something out there.]
Of course I'd see something, what am I blind?
[.... It'll help you with your business.]
And?
[It'll solve the lacking manpower your Company currently have.]
I'm already about to take care of it.
[It'd help benefit your Clan,]
Why do I have a feeling that, that statement felt more like a question?
[And your Company.]
Yeah right, fuck off, I'm going to sleep.
[You'd become rich with it in no time.]
"Let's get the fuck outside!"
[Wowww, just how shameless can you be.]
I ignored it and went to the place where I trained most.
I stood in the middle of the training ground. I felt my eyebrows reflexively scrunching up, I felt puzzled. before my eyes widen, teeth gritting as I yelled out.
"WHAT THE FUCK! DID IT JUST BAMBOOZLED ME?!"
"ACCKKK!"
I let out a painful grunt as I felt a large weight that almost killed me lying on my back. Fuck, this System better be hoping I won't be recieving any back issues.
[LOL, you'd be like that old dwarf.]
Dwarfs exist here?! I asked the System as it only gave me a response that made me deadpanned.
[Nevermind,]
Somehow, I feel like I've offended the System. Maybe I didn't get its humor?
[You did.],
Oh, fuck off! Rolling my eyes, I look at the large scroll that landed on my back earlier. What's this?
[A scroll, duhh, obviously.]
I know that— Exhale*— you know what just shut up and do whatever the fuck you need to do except for bothering me.
I unrolled the scroll as I recognized it to be a summoning contract. No way, did this System just gifted me a summoning contract.
[Yes way!]
Stop acting so smug!
Ehem... Ehem... Anyways, as much as I'd like to enjoy the fact that I am given a summoning contract, still, I can't help but be suspicious. A summoning contract that looks to be new is like making a contract with scammers back in my past life.
"Oi, System, you're not planning on making me your slave after signing this scroll, are you?"
[You should just be grateful of the opportunity that I have given you.]
"You speak as if you're the reason why I'm here."
[As I mentioned before, that reason is only partly because of the 'Wish' you desire that has been granted.]
"Right, when you did at first, appear, you've mentioned somethin' about my wish. So you're saying that my wish was to be transmitted here?"
[....]
"I'll assume for now that you do not know."
[....]
With my conclusion having been meet by a silence so far by the System, I have grown to slowly be convince that the System, indeed, do not know anything about my circumstances at all. Or maybe the System did know about it and is just not saying anything.
"I don't understand anything at all. I just wanted to pay off all the debts of my parents, cut off ties with my father's sides family, get into all of the colleges I wanted to study and not have to worry about money, ya'know? Was that not my 'Wish'?"
[That is only your goal, your 'Wish'.... However, is much more intense.]
"How intense?"
[That..... I do not have the authority to tell you..."
What?
[.... as of now.]
I inhaled through my nose. Anyways, "So these scrolls?"
[That is your own decision to make, whether you want to sign it or not, I shall not get in your way.]
"I won't sign it."
[JUST FUCKING SIGN IT, YOU LITTLE MOTHERFUCKING UGLY PIECE OF A GODDAMN WANKER!]
"OK! OK! STOP SCREECHING! MY BRAIN FELT LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO FUCKING EXPLODE!"
[THEN DO IT ALREADY!]
"FINE! FINE! FINE!"
Fed up with the screaming match that made my brain hurt like hell. Somehow similar at the time when I was in middle school where I recieved my first concussion. As I was about to bit my thumb and draw out blood, the System interrupted me.
[Wait! I forgot to tell you to use a brush or a dip pen instead of your thumb but the ink required is your blood.]
Ah fuck it. So tiring.
Despite with my thoughts, I still, nonetheless, went back to my house, grab a dip pen, went back to the training area and stab the dip pen in my thumb, causing it to draw blood and signed my name on the paper scroll.
[Also, use your bloodied thumb to—]
"Why didn't you say anything earlier?"
I whined before placing my thumb finger print on the paper. What should I do with the summoning scroll now?
[What else? You're taking care of it.]
But, but—
[No buts! You are obliged to take care of it as the first contractor!]
Groaning, I said, "Fuck you!" Throwing the messenger brat a middle finger.

First Person PoV)

"By the way, what kind of creature I've signed a contract to?" I asked, genuinely curious. I know for certain that this summoning scroll isnXt relared to The Toads, Snails, and Snakes— but then again, the shinobi world is full of suprising phenomenons that weren't fully displayed in the manga and the anime.
[Random Chimera Species.]
[A useful and diverse species that will offer its absolute loyalty to the person who summoned them for the first time 'till death and provides their master with their utmost capabilites.]
A Chimera! How lucky! Kekekekeke!
If what I'm expecting is certainly correct then np doubt the Chimera's will be useful to replace the lack of heavy mechanics. And to add it all up, the fact that it will offer its absolute loyalty to me, betrayal will be the last thing I have to worry about over the summoned Chimera!
[Oh!]
What??
[Right....]
Wha-What is it?!
[You need to pay up.]
Huh?! Money? like Ryo's?!
[....]
[I guess that would cover for now.]
What the fuck do you mean for now?!
[Pay up. Do you want a Chimera or not?]
Fuck you!
I gave the System brat a middle finger... How much?
[500k Ryo's.]
FIVE HUNDRED-THOUSAND! That's like, seventy fucking percent of what I have now!
[Do want it or not?]
You better not make me regret this! Once again, I went back inside the house and took 500k from my stash and put it in a briefcase, I come outside and hurriedly ran to the training ground.
"So... Where do I give this to you?"
[Oh, just wait for a vortex to appear in front of you and let it suck the briefcase.]
'A fucking wha— you know what, never mind.' I thought staring at the vortex that appeared just after the System's message dissapeared. Before I could inspect the vortex, the System hastily told me to hurry up in resulting for me to obliged its wish.
"So what now?"
[First apply some of your blood to the hand that you signed the contract with and just perform the given hand seals, which are: bird, boar, dog, dragon, hare, horse, monkey, ox, ram, rat, serpent, tiger and press the your hands' five fingers down and channel chakra to the hand shout 'Summoning Jutsu'.]
Hand seals, the most annoying aspect of life while performing a jutsu or molding a chakra, in my opinion. I sighed, letting go of my laziness and perform the hand seals. However, due to my inability to let go of my annoyance towards the hand seals, I messed the jutsu up for about fourteen times. And finally, after the sixteenth times, I manage to successfully perform the jutsu.
The moment I slamed my hand on the ground, a change occurred and instinctively I move my hand away from the ground and took three steps backwards.
Paaats...!
A pale light was engraved to the ground. The engraved light drew a complex shape and kanji's—and that, I recognize to be a fuinjutsu seal. The kanji's were a lot different from what I've seen in the manga and anime.
Also this fuinjutsu summoning seal.... it's kind of small!
"CHWAJAKUSHIBALISHNABIDACHUGAJAJAJAWAKASHUKE..."
It's just making this horrendous and irritating sound!
It was at this moment that I realize that whatever it is in the seal is coming out.
I watched the fuinjutsu summoning seal making turns from left to right and right to left— there were sounds of clicks from here to there as if the seal is some sort of a vault— as my heart pounded with excitement.
Finally, something came out.
Pajjik!
Something sprang out from the ground accompanied by an intense shock wave.
"Po-chi!"
A creature with small, fluffy brown skin with shining brown eyes and a rosy blush on his cheeks. It has two noticeable tufts of fur on the top of his head as well as one on his chest and inside both of his ears. He has two prominent front teeth that sit over his bottom lip to form a triangular shape.
In other words its like this: Soft, fluffy hair. A plump butt with short limbs. I can tell that its size is about the same as my fist.
"Hm," I scoffed dissapointingly, "Where's my Chimera? Why is it a rat that came out of the seal instead of my Chimera?"
[It's a hamster, you fucking idiot.]
Same thing. Same thing. I said to the System brat as I realize that it's a sham. And I just fucking waste seventy fucking percent of my money to this kind of sham! FUCKING SHIT! I shouldn't have trust it.
"It's a fucking failure." I couldn't help but remark while clicking tip of my tongue.
I ignore the tears that was about to flow from the rat's wide eyes and was about to turn around and get my beauty sleep all the while thinking of how I just wasted my sleeping time to this shite.
"Poochii! Popochichi!"
Somehow, I could understand what the rat was saying. Guess it has somethin' to do with being its summoner and all.
"What? You're not a failure? You can do lots of incredible things?" I turn around, bending my knees in order to face the rat, "What kind of incredible things? Like, shooting acorn bullet jutsu?" I mocked the rat.
"I don't need any of that."
[Acorns are for squirrels....]
Shut up!
"Pochichi!" The rat denied, shaking its head and hands. Now that I'm looking at it a bit closer, its quite anxious.
"No? Then what are you waiting for, show me your worth."
Hearing this, the rat put his hand on its mouth as his cheeks grew wider. Then he spat a crumbled paper out, filled with its saliva.
"HURK— EUGHHH!" I barf.
[How dramatic...]
Shut up! I bet all of my remaining Ryo's that you're having the same reaction as I am!
[.... shut it...]
Speak for yourself!
Fuck, this is disgusting. Ew. I supressed myself from barfing up again. But from time to time my throat would make barfing sounds. I opened the note, there were words inscribed on it. Fortunately, the moon was bright, so I could read the contents clearly.
"「Pochi's User Manual」"
"「Pochi is an adorable hamster. Please take care of him with lots of love.」"
So its a boy, huh.
"「As the one who summoned him upon this world, Pochi is absolutely loyal to you. Chimera's, from the moment you summoned them, are your lifelong companions or family.」"
"「Feed Pochi with the two type of treats that the System has given for you. It is a treat that came with Pochi for free. But once you ran out of treats, you will buy the treats from the System that cost only 1 Ryo for a single piece of treat.」"
"「Red Special Treat — Pochi will become huge. It will lose its effect after 12 hours.」"
"「Yellow Special Treat — Pochi will become small. Use this to feed Pochi before the Red Treat loses its effect.」"
I gave Pochi a side eye, inspecting him from ears to toe.
"How big can you grow?"
"Poochii!" (Translation: Depending on my limits.)
"If there's a limit on how tall you can grow then you're really useless."
"Popppochi! Poch-poch pochi chi!" (Translation: Wait, wait, I'm not useless! I can improve my skills and break my limitations with enough training!)
"Hmm, really?" Pochi repeatedly nodded in affirmation, "Then don't hold back."
I gave Pochi a Red Seed.
I've never taken care a hamster before, with the reason in mind that it'd only be a waste of money. But I heard from my Biology teacher that hamsters are great at digging tunnels. Maybe he could play the role as an excavator after he's proven his worth.
I took a few steps back as Pochi sniffed the seed I've given him. He look hesitant at first but seemed to really like it after sniffing it. Pochi nibbled the seed and put it in his mouth and chewed.
The moment Pochi swallowed the seed. He suddenly grew bigger in size and height. He looks to be five meters— no, ten meters.
What the fuck is with that rat's face? I scoffed, look at this big guy, it's looking down on me with such a smug face. How arrogant.
[LOL. Your pride must be hurt becayse you're been looked down by a mere 'rat'.]
Shut up. And for the record, I don't have possess such thing called, 'pride'.
"Pochi, open up!"
The hamster followed my order and open its mouth. I threw a Blue Seed in his mouth and unknowingly swallowed it. A few moments later, Pochi returned to his original size.
"Yeah, yeah, I believe you, alright? You're not useless as I thought you'd be."
"Po chichi?"
"Yep, I won't get rid of you."
"Pochi!" (Translation: Yehey!)
"Let's go to sleep now. We've got a lot to do for tomorrow's schedule."
"Pochi!"
