*Ding**It is the suggestion of the system that you find somewhere to sit before you are given the system tutorial. Given your easily startled state.*
Asuma, not knowing off the top of his head the exact location of Kurenai or his home, looked for a place close by to sit. Following the tantalizing smell of food, as well as seeing stools available, he found himself at Ichiraku Ramen. 'I wonder if Teuchi of the Six Bowls is really an Otsutsuki, or if that's just a popular myth amongst fans' he wondered, as he wandered over to an available seat.
*Ding**If you must know, he's Otsutsuki level for sure, if only in his cooking ability and hospitality. Given that he's not a ninja, he is still not to underestimated. His contribution towards the mental health and well being of ninjas and civilians alike is heavily responsible for the stability of Konoha. Though, there is a mysterious power at work. No matter what disaster befell Konoha in canon, Ichiraku Ramen always stood. The Nine-Tails attack, the Chunin Exams debacle, the Wrath of Pain, Teuchi cooked through it all. He is just as important as your father, if not more so.*
'You are trolling me right now, aren't you? I know the food is delicious, but that good?'
*I can project myself as one of those 'Trollies' if you so wish.*
'No thank you. Enough distraction for today.'
*Enough distractions for now. I'll wait until you finish that bowl of ramen. I'll proceed to introduce the tutorial afterwards.*
"Hey, Teuchi! Gimme a Miso Ramen bowl with beef sausage toppings."
"Oh, if it isn't Asuma! I'll add extra, just to celebrate you being back in the village long enough to stop by. If you do me a favor and don't smoke while you're here, I'll tell you where Kurenai is," Teuchi replied with a chuckle.
"Oi! Why do you know where Kurenai is at? And am I that easy to read?"
"You'd be surprised what information drops as people pick up something to eat. There's a reason why Lord Jiraiya stops by here often. You're easier to figure out, than you're old man. Though I wouldn't say you're easier to read. If you're in the village for a while, you're either with Ms.Yuhi , looking for Ms.Yuhi, or reporting in. Oh, and always smoking."
"Goodness, I just back back to staying in the village for awhile. Show some mercy."
"Not at all. It's a lot more fun poking fun at you. You're not as uptight as your clan name would suggest."
"You know, if you weren't a civilian, the old man might've been after you simply because of how much influence you have."
"Oh, scary scary. Good thing I'm not a ninja. Even better that I've tamed many with a bowl or two or three. I'm quite fine without chakra. I have my own "jutsu".
As the light hearted banter went back and forth like a table tennis match, Teuchi finished cooking the bowl of Miso Ramen, extra beef sausage and a boiled egg in addition.
"I added an egg, too. Wouldn't want you to be lacking in energy when you see Ms.Yuhi, now would we? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to greet her red eyes with red eyes of your own."
*Ding* You have just received a major hint as to why Ichiraku Ramen never falls when disaster does. Also, I think two sets of red eyes would be quite the pair.*
Asuma nearly choked on the mouthful of noodles he was eating. 'I nearly committed blasphemy by spewing out food this good. You were right, though. Even that sass of yours couldn't make me to dribble a drop of it. If this were 'Shokugeki no Soma' I would've....!'
*The natural laws and rules of this world don't allow that to happen, or it would've been both pleasant and disastrous. Imagine how easy it would be for enemy spies to take down Konoha ninjas.*
'In that case, we just send a Teuchi to each of their doorsteps. The Food War would end all wars!' quipped Asuma as he inhaled the remainder of his second bowl of noodles.
*Your gut spouted some profound wisdom right there. I assume you're ready for that tutorial now?...I'll take that as a yes. Now, The Gale Force System is here for your benefit, as well as to extended the duration of your life. Unknown forces wished for you to have insurance that would ensure your ability to survive. The aspiration would be that you live a life as long as, or longer than that of your father in this world. You may even be able to possibly save him from a demise at the hands of a gender confused snake that he raised up as a disciple.*
'Oh, you mean Orochi-Ma-man? Auntie Snakie-poo?'
*...Yes,. However, I suggest you leave the sniping to me as you focus on the tutorial. 'AHEM'...In continuation of the tutorial, you will receive quests that will incentivize you to make forward progress, as well as emergency quests. None of these quests will be mandatory. You will simply miss out on the rewards. In the case of emergency quest, those are usually only issued in the event that your life or the lives of those vital to you are in danger. Life altering danger, if not perilous danger itself. I'm certain you would strive to complete those quests, for fear of failure.*
' I would complain about that being harsh. Yet in the life of a shinobi, it's to be expected. Even more if you're a ninja with a name. 'White Fang' Sakumo, 'Yellow Flash' Minato, Pakura of the Scorching Desert, Third Kazekage...the list goes on.'
*You will also receive quests base on missions that you are issued by your...village. The rewards will depend on the mission issued, as well as the events that occur during the mission. please be warned that the rewards will not be as enticing as system issued quests. Before the rewards are given out, you will have the option to receive them immediately or to place them within the system. The system is generous, so of course the system storage will allow you to use the storage for more than just rewards issued by the system. There are more details, though minor, before the completion of the tutorial is through.*
'Is the tutorial session gonna be over soon?'
*Well the info dump isn't over, but you are free to pay attention to something else for awhile....like those clouds drifting by up there....*
