Chapter 4 (1/2)

Hikaru was quite curious about the -Challenge- option back on the main screen. He pressed it and the shop screen on his left was replaced with the Challenge options.

There were many options in the -Challenge-. There was an option to battle lower undead, like those peasant-like undeads. There was also an option to battle a black knight. Which he will ignore for now.

”Hmm, maybe this is like a dungeon where I would beat enemies and advance to a higher stage, ” Hikaru thought out loud.

The long-haired child sat on the tatami floor inside his small flat as he explored the Dark Souls System.

Meanwhile, back in the Hokage tower. Hiruzen and Kakashi talk about what Hikaru said to them earlier.

”Kakashi, do you think what that child said is true?” Hiruzen asked Kakashi.

”I don't know, Lord Hokage, but I think he is probably talking about the truth, ” Kakashi replied while kneeling on one knee towards the Hokage.

”Hmm, that land, it's quite sad. A ruler going against nature and his citizens had to pay for all his mistakes by turning undead or being manipulated by the remaining 'gods'. I think his light was never meant to be 'his', ” Hiruzen said with sorrow towards the dying land.

Kakashi kept quiet and listened to his leader's words. The Anbus who were hiding in the shadows felt it was wrong that the light had to go to the wrong hands.

(2 Days Later, Morning)

Hikaru agreed to join the Academy for two reasons. 1. He would be able to train his skills by being a shinobi. 2. And lastly, he would be able to meet the main cast of Naruto.

He just figured out that the timeline he is in is two years before the series started. Naruto and the co' are 9 years old this year, except maybe, Tenten, Lee, and Neji.
