Chapter 3: Pikachu

Thinking back, I quickly reflect on everything that happened from my arrival to the earthquake that almost ended my second life.

First, there are normal animals in this world.

Second, I just saw men in feudal Japanese clothing.

Third, attack by huge and very dangerous bugs.

Fourth, they have a blue energy that they use with hand signals to use it.

Fifth, I'm still hungry.

I've come to a conclusion.

I'm definitely in Naruto....

"I definitely have to learn how to do an electric Rasengan"

Even with my mind in the clouds from the recent revelation, I find myself in the hideout trying not to think about the dangers that come with being in a world as conflicted as Naruto's.

"Wait, those ninjas weren't wearing their bandanas that identify them to a village as ninjas. I may be in a remote time like that of Hashirama Senju"

With the new approach, I remember so much information from Naruto that I can't really put in order where to start with so many possibilities and without thinking more, I decide my course of action for the moment.

"What I will have to do first is find out the approximate date and eliminate the root of the problems which is Zetsu and his plans. With that resolved I won't do much to prevent the arrival of the Ootsusuki because with the main story finished, saving thousands of lives, should be enough to be able to redeem myself and ascend to heaven"

Remembering that for the times of Madara Uchiha, the massacre between clans was inevitable, Zetsu should be lurking in the shadows to influence Madara to draw up his plan to revive Kaguya with the help of the one with the crazy eyes.

"Well, time to get to work."

Finally coming out of my hiding spot with my head held high, checking that the ninjas have left the place, normally as a human I shouldn't be able to track trained ninjas, but with my new physiognomy I can find a needle in a haystack.

My enhanced senses allow me to pick up their chakra trails and footprints left by the ninjas. As I move forward, I begin to notice signs of recent battle: cut trees, weapons embedded in the ground, and purple blood marks on the ground. It's clear that there was an intense fight, and the combatants headed north. I follow their trail with determination.

*Growl*

But before I can go out in search of the trail left by the ninjas, my stomach growls with hunger. The adrenaline and the excitement of the chase had distracted me from the hunger I now felt strongly. I looked around, looking for some place where I could find something to eat. The forest looked dense and peaceful, with the rays of the sun filtering through the canopy of the trees.

"Well, it's time to eat."

Heading my hungry body in the direction of the area with more trees, hoping to find some fruits to satisfy my hunger, on the way to the grove I end up with my senses detecting the scent of the nearest berries. I carefully examine them as I grab them from the bush. Not being a major expert on the subject of berries, I get into a debacle.

"Poisonous or non-poisonous? That matters," I say to myself.

I look at the berries carefully, trying to remember if I had learned anything useful in my previous life that would help me in this situation. The berries were small and red, and some had black spots. My instinct told me it could be risky, but my stomach growled in protest.

I decide to trust my enhanced sense of smell. I slowly approach and smell the berries. I don't notice anything unusual, no smell that warns me of their danger.

The aroma of the red berries insistently calls me to eat them, but doubt keeps playing a warning in my mind, so I decide on an improvised solution.

"Just in case, I'll roast them."

Without problems, I start charging my cheeks so as not to risk losing my second life in the attempt to eat and I begin to expel the electricity from my body.

[Sparks]

The energy crackles and envelops the berries, cooking them slowly. The aroma changes, becoming more intense and tempting. When I'm done, the berries have a golden and appetizing appearance.

The yellow flash caused momentarily illuminates the area, but as a result, multiple berries fall from the bush completely roasted, which I immediately grab from the ground to finish savoring the first bite of food since I arrived in this chaotic world.

Cautiously, I try a small bite of one of the berries.

The taste is sweet, and I don't feel any immediate adverse reaction. With more confidence, I start eating a few more, feeling my energy begin to recover with each bite.

"Pika…" I whisper, satisfied.

"Hmm pika, pikachu

"Sweet and fresh"

That would be the definition of berries the size of my little paw. About five of those roasted berries seem to be enough to restore my energy for the entire day.

"I wonder if a roasted apple would fill me up completely," I think as I lie down on top of a grassy field, looking at the clear sky. The rays of the sun filter through the leaves of the trees, creating a pattern of light and shadow that dances over my body. In the distance, the chirping of birds and the sound of the wind in the leaves fill the air with a calm, soothing melody.

When I finish resting after satisfying my hunger, I set off again in search of my divine mission as the savior of this world (I just want to sleep).

"Now that I think about it, weren't there giant beasts in Naruto's world?"

With the thought process, I check to see if there is a hundred meter snake in the surroundings, but before I get paranoid, I come to the acceptance that I should explore the entire forest before jumping to conclusions.

"Maybe there weren't that many monstrous giants in this era."

But a tremendous shudder runs through my body as I remember the giant fanged beast being torn into pieces that managed to shake the forest and shatter the cave.

"I'll have to train with this body if I want to survive in this world as long as possible."

Now, with my new realization, I hurry in my search for some safe place like the vicinity of some village or place away from the clans fighting to the death. With my relatively good agility as a fat Pikachu, I begin to stretch before putting my new body to the test.

I felt electricity running through my small limbs and a surge of energy filling me with every movement. I knew I needed to be prepared for whatever this new world would present to me. I began to trot, my legs moving with surprising speed and dexterity. Despite my new form, I adapted quickly and felt a natural connection with the earth and air around me.

*sigh*

"Having to exercise as a Pokémon is something I never thought I would do."

With my body ready to give it my all, I began to move faster constantly between jumps that I make between the wild flora in zigzags, jumping and avoiding obstacles along the way such as branches and leaves while I pour all my concentration and my senses into searching for a way out of the wild forest.

[Quick Attack]

The speed of my body increases in an instant with the perspective of things slowing down, giving me greater maneuverability as I move at high speed through the forest, giving me the sensation of freezing time. Soon, I find myself arriving at the exit of the forest that leads directly to a kind of medieval road composed of a base of stones and earth.

Reaching the road, I stop to catch my breath and take in my surroundings. The road stretches out in both directions, disappearing into the distance. To one side, the road seems to lead to a small village looming in the distance.

"You're going to fall, Kaguya."

Following the dirt and rock path, I don't waste the opportunity to train my skills as a Pokémon on the way to wherever it will take me.

"Wait, if this is Naruto's world, shouldn't I be able to use chakra? Well, the chance is low, but I'm going to try."

Staying still for a moment to hastily process my thoughts, I put my upper limbs into the mythical pose of a certain blonde ninja with dreams of being a Hokage.

[Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu]

"Nothing happened....."

"Man, what a disappointment..."

When I tried to use my chakra, all I got was wasted, leaving me lying on the ground as I wasted my reserves for nothing.

"Maybe if I improve my control over chakra, I'll get something out."

Starting to expel a bunch of blue energy from my body with excitement as I manage to direct my body's energy outwards, I try to cover my body in it as if I were a Saiyan to control its output.

But little by little, I feel like I'm unable to maintain the electrical energy in my body while I do the chakra control, but in an attempt not to explode into a thousand pieces, I redirect it unstably to the sky to create lightning bolts using my natural ability as a way to release all my energy at once.

—Pika pika pikachuuuu!

[LIGHTNING]

The incredible amount of energy is expelled through my body towards the sky and the surroundings, generating a wave of static around the place, causing the clouds to begin to darken and lightning to ring out. Sensing with my intrinsic ability [Lightning Rod], I react within a few seconds by raising my tail high, prepared to absorb the inevitable impact.

[Thunder]

The majority of the impact of the thunder is I'm sucked into my tail, which then absorbs my entire body like a rechargeable battery powered by thunderstorms.

With my mind brought back to reality, I focus on getting back on the road and stopping fooling around before I kill myself for going around thinking I'm Naruto.

On one side, the road seems to lead to a small village looming in the distance. On the other, it goes deeper into the wilderness, possibly towards a larger city or some sort of fortress.

I decide to head towards the village, hoping to find a safe place and where I can verify my information of the world. With one last glance at the forest, I begin walking down the road. As I sneak closer to the small village, I notice that it's surrounded by cultivated fields and small wooden houses with thatched roofs. The villagers, dressed in simple clothes, are working in the fields or chatting amongst themselves.

"Maybe if I show up like this, they'll think I'm some kid with the [Transformation Jutsu]."

When I reach the entrance of the village, a few villagers look at me curiously. It's not common to see a Pikachu walking the streets, and even less so for one who seems to live in a feudal land. I approach an old woman in Japanese priestly robes who is sweeping the entrance of a large house.

"Pika Pikachu?" I say, trying to communicate somehow.

The old woman smiles and pats my head.

"You're a curious little guy, aren't you?" she says sweetly. "I haven't seen a Shikigami like you around here before. Come, join me."

"You must bring a message from.....

The moment I mentioned the word "Shikigami," my mind froze for a few seconds before I realized that my assessment of the world in general and my plans were totally wrong.

Thinking back, I quickly reflect on everything that has happened since my arrival up to this very moment.

First, there are normal animals in this world.

Second, I have observed a feudal Japan theme.

Third, there are attacks by huge and very dangerous bugs.

Fourth, at first glance, they have a blue energy that they use with hand signals to harness it.

Fifth, I have just been called "shikigami."

I've come to a second conclusion.

I'm definitely into Gege's boyfriend manga...
