Chapter 2 - The Ashy Young Master

"Ahhhhhh!"

Taro woke up soaked in sweat, screaming his lungs out. He looked around, and his room was different. His room used to be a modern, wooden, medium-sized room, but now it was made of stone, and the smell of the desert lingered in his nose.

His mouth was dry, and so was everything on his body.

"Ahhh! I'm ashy as fuck!"

Taro stood up and checked his now ashy body, looking for injuries. When he saw nothing was wrong, he sighed in relief—until he realized his body was now that of a short twerp, no older than five or six years old.

"What happened to me?!" He panicked and looked for a mirror but found none. After the panic faded, he thought rationally. "So, did I get isekai'd by Truck-kun like those degenerates from anime?"

As he began to think, a prompt popped up in front of him.

[Wah gwaan mi G. Mi deh yah now a run di ting, nice fi meet yuh fam.]

Taro widened his eyes. "A system?!" He jumped around. "Fuck yeah! But why the hell is it Jamaican?!"

[Wah di problem?]

Taro frowned. "Jesus Christ, can you please speak like a normal person?"

[Racist ass host. Are you saying Jamaicans aren't normal?]

"Now you're woke? What is up with you?"

Seeing the pointless bantering, Taro moved on. "Ok, enough goofing around. I need you to answer some questions for me."

[Ok.]

Taro took a deep breath and asked, "Where am I? What do you do? What are you? And how dangerous is this place?"

[Would you like the answer to have a Jamaican accent?]

"No! Just answer, damn it!"

[Fine. This world is the ninja world, or what you dweebs call the 'Naruto verse.' You are currently in the Hosai Clan, a small, insignificant clan from the Land of Wind. I am here to assist you by giving you quests and rewards. As for what I am, you don't need to know. Finally, if I were to rate this world and the current era you are in, I would say 8/10.]

Taro's mind raced. His knowledge of the Naruto world was subpar at best; he barely knew who or what Kaguya was. "I should've finished the damn show after Madara died!" he thought to himself.

Taro scratched his head. "Forget it. Why should I be worried when I can't do anything about it?" He looked at the system and asked, "So what kind of quests do you give? And what kind of rewards? Are you a slave system or what?"

[No, I am not a 'slave' system. I give you quests based on events that are happening around you or to you. For example, if you're on a mission, I can give you rewards based on that mission, and the penalty will occur not because of me, but because it's a real consequence.

As for the rewards, I can give you cards that have rarity depending on what they give.

The rarity goes as:

Iron

Bronze

Silver

Gold

Blue

Purple

Yellow

And Red.]

Taro nodded and asked, "Can you give me a trial quest so I can familiarize myself with the quests?"

[Yes. I was planning on giving you a starter gift quest anyway.

Would you like to accept?

Accept/Decline]

Without hesitation, Taro accepted.

[Quest: Map Out the Clan.

Meet 30 Clan Members – 0/30 Incomplete

Meet the Clan Patriarch – 0/1 Incomplete

Explore Parts of Your Territory – Incomplete.

Penalty: None]

After posting the quest, the system continued, [Would you like me to give you the memories of that body to make things easier?]

Taro nodded. "Yes."
