"Thank you so much noble ninja for saving us from these bandits, my family will be eternally grateful" the father of the family said as he and the others leaned towards Hajime.
"Don't worry I was just passing through, what happened here?"
"The two guards were escorting the bandits and they stayed here while they operated on their companions to send them to the Konoha prison, but while they were waiting one of them was released, he took his weapon from one of them killing him and then you arrived if there had not been I don't know what would happen to my family "The old man said
"Konoha ?, It is possible that he is in the world of Naruto"
After everything was under control it took half an hour for the guard's reinforcements to arrive, a group of three including a 15-year-old Hajime-like man in a gray raincoat and goggles along with a blue headband with a nameplate. metal with a drawing that Hajime could easily identify.
"I didn't know that these kinds of worlds existed"
Seeing them, the guard went to meet them while he told them what had happened, the genin being the leader approached Hajime while the others secured the bandits.
"Thank you very much for helping the guards, my name is Jin Aburame, I am a genin of Konoha. My mission is to escort these bandits, but if it had not been for you it would have been a tragedy, I would make sure to pay it," Jin said with a voice, although monotonous showed a lot of sincerity
"You don't have to worry so much, but what if I go with you to Konoha I'm looking for a place to stay temporarily"
Hearing Jin's request I doubt at first, but immediately accept.
After the entire group prepared to leave, the local family gave Hajime a small bag of money and a box of dangos as thanks.
As they walked towards Konoha an awkward silence could be felt.
"Well, what's new in Konoha, since I come from a remote town near the tea country so I'm not aware of the new news"
"Hee the only thing that comes to mind is that Azuma-sama got into a fight with her father the Third and left Konoha recently"
"If I also heard about it"
As Hajime listened carefully to the guards' talk, a small insect came out inside Jin's jacket heading towards Hajime.
[Scanning Attempt Detected on Host Recommended to Take Actions]
"Don't worry it's just to find out if I have chakra, on the contrary, it can be useful for later" Hajime replied while looking at the little insect
Hajime found Jin's scan to be normal since someone capable of defeating a bandit with such speed or is a great warrior or a ninja, it is better to verify since you never know when a ninja from other villages tries to infiltrate.
"And Hajime-san what are you doing traveling alone towards Konoha" Jin said
"M-"
"Don't get me wrong, it is rare that someone travels alone in these directions since there are bandits, but because of how strong you are, I don't think it would be much of a problem"
"As a young man I have always read a lot of history books from other places and I wanted to know how vast our world is by my own eyes, but my family will not feel calm if I go out alone so they put me into combat classes to that I can defend myself and so they would be calmer "
"Mm" Jin muttered ending the short conversation
An awkward silence re-enters, but it did not last long since the noise of the people was immediate.
A caravan can be seen trying to enter through the huge wooden doors of Konoha, showing a street that faced directly to the Hokage building with the imposing faces of the Hokages carved on the cliff.
As we passed through the gates we did not head towards a small booth where two ninjas were standing to finish Jin's report, after waiting for a while two members of the Konoha police arrived to take the bandits away.
"And what are you going to do next Hajime-san, we will go for our reward"
"I'm going to walk around the place for a while and later I'm going to a restaurant that they recommended, I think they said it was called Ichiraku Ramen"
With just a nod, Jin and the others slowly walked away.
Seeing them plead Hajime begins to walk through the various places, after walking he finished with a few items, while walking down the street he saw an image that seemed impossible for the time they were in.
A young woman in her early 20s with ringed red eyes and long black hair arguing with a man with similar characteristics was Kurenai Yuhi and her father Shinku Yuhi.
This was impossible since the kyubi attack was 5 years ago and Shinku must have died in the attack.
"I hope this was my fault and not because a reincarnate appeared, it would be a lot of trouble"
As I watched the father-daughter couple walk away more questions appeared in his head.
"Let's go eat first and find a place to sleep," Hajime said looking reluctantly at his last coins
[That is because I spend money on inappropriate things, for now, if you continue like this you will not be able to support a family, much less yourself]
"Shut up remember that I don't have a full day here apart from everything I bought was on sale and I couldn't waste it"
While passing near a solitary park, she stumbled over a wallet, when she picked it up and looked at it more closely, she could see a faint pink color with colored flower figures stamped around it, it was an authentic wallet for a girl because of how childish it looked.
"Thank God you knew I was lacking money for being a good Samaritan and you have sent me a little money"
[How low has Host fallen to take a girl's money]
"I'm kidding, I'll wait to see if she comes back if I don't take her to the police"
As I looked at the wallet I shut up a ninja license where a somewhat energetic young woman appeared with the name ANKO MITARASHI.
"..."
"You got to be kidding"
/Somewhere else/
The moment Jin opened the door, he was greeted by the Hokage who had his back to him as he watched the town from the window.
"Hokage-sama I am here to give my report"
With a simple nod from the Hokage Jin began to relate what happened in the mission, as well as information that he collected from Hajime
"Mm okay you can retire"
"Yes sir," Jin said as he left the office.
"Inu"
In the room a shadow suddenly appears answering the call, the pointy silver-haired figure wearing the typical Anbu costume with a white mask with the figure of a dog covering his face.
"I want you to keep an eye on the subject of Jin's report, I want to know his objective when he comes"
Without saying a word the figure disappears as quickly as it appeared leaving Hiruzen alone again.
"It is not much to send an Anbu to this kind of missions" Anbu said as he emerged from the wall
"Haa .. It's just an excuse I have to send him to relax a little, he hasn't stopped doing missions for a long time"
/ POV Hajime /
While lounging on a garden bench, a young black-haired and brown-eyed woman in a red-brown t-shirt with bracelets, white shorts, and fishnet tights entered the park as she searched the ground for something.
"Finally some fun" Hajime said to himself.
2 minutes passed, but Young Anko didn't seem to notice Hajime or care at all.
"I can know what you are looking for, miss" Tired of waiting Hajime starts the conversation.
"I have my wallet"
"mm a wallet is lost very often in these places, I found one of a girl I think since it is very childish with the design and many colorful flowers is probably where her mother gives her allowance, I am waiting for her to come with her mom to give it to him "
"That's m-cough a girl's wallet where I live if you want I can give it to you so you don't have to wait" Anko said as she changed her opening words.
"I cannot fully trust your words, miss, I am new to this town and I do not know what the people around here are like, maybe it would be better if I took the wallet to the police and the girl went by herself," Hajime said as he watched her face change. Anko's from worried to angry and a little embarrassed.
Seeing such a rare spectacle in life a slight smile can be seen on Hajime's face and thereby sparked a desire to see more of it.
"It is not necessary it would be a lot of trouble for the little one to get her purse again, wait in a moment I will bring her"
Anko replied quickly as she took a big leap onto the roofs of the houses and left Hajime alone again.
While Hajime thought about what Anko was planning he felt that someone was watching him, 2 people, one was from where Anko had gone so it was probably her, but he could not see where the other one came from and since he was not hostile he did not give much importance, it was likely that someone sent to monitor him was probably another genin like Jin.
"In a world of ninjas, everyone doubts everyone"
Only a few minutes had passed when the young Anko landed in the park carrying a little girl of about 5 years old.
"This is the girl I told you about she is the owner of the wallet"
"Hello little girl, what's your name?"
Hajime said while stroking the little girl's head.
As struck by lightning the little girl and Anko remain static at the caress of Hajime but after a few seconds the girl seems to be flooded in the comfort of his caresses, this extends for several minutes until Anko comes out of her trance and coughed.
"Cough
"He is Isami"
The little girl said quickly while hiding her embarrassment.
"So this is not your wallet as it says here that it belongs to Anko Mitarashi" Hajime said as he showed the inside of the wallet where his Chunin license is seen with his photo.
Seeing Hajime's smile, Anko's strong shame covers her face along with some veins at the point of view of her forehead.
"You knew that" Anko said as a slightly sinister aura begins to emanate from her
At the end of his words, the little girl disappears and a couple of snakes come out of his sleeve quickly wrapping Hajime, Despite having two enormously coiled snakes around him that for any normal citizen would have caused them to become disheveled, Hajime continued with a calm smile.
"Why do you keep smiling"
"Why do I know you won't do anything to me" Hajime said as he settled between the snakes
"Ha! Think that some police will come to save you"
"Not because I know you are very kind"
"You don't even know me well"
"Well I don't think someone as pretty as you who has such a cute wallet is a bad person"
Hearing his words, Anko snatches her wallet from Hajime's hands as she releases it.
When the snakes returned to Anko's clothing she began to move away from the place to cover a slight blush that appeared on her face.
"What's your name"
"Ho I have not introduced myself my name is Hajime Hayashi I am a traveler and a great reader I just came to Konoha to visit, I will stay for a while and I will travel there again" Hajime replied while looking at Anko's back
At the end of these words, Anko disappears among the buildings.
"Well I had enough fun now let's go eat"
Continuing with his journey, Hajime took a couple of minutes to reach Ichiraku Ramen, as he entered a small back, I greeted him, he was a 5-year-old boy in gray shorts, beige shirt with a red print on the back in the shape of a swirl and a dazzling yellow hair.
Hearing Hajime's footsteps the boy trembled a little and with a dejected look, he quietly retreated from the place leaving a bowl of barely served ramen.
"Where you are going small it is rude to leave such delicious food come and sit with me, the food is richer if you eat it accompanied"
Hearing Hajime's words the boy turns to be greeted by a warm smile that invites him to sit down, surprised shyly approaches, and takes a seat in front of his plate, ready to eat a growl from the child's stomach starts a series of laughter from Hajime and the others.
With a small smile, the child begins to eat energetically.
